Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 386 Olympus' Counterattack

Agreed grinned as he looked at Hades, who seemed as small as a pet, and extended his enormous dragon claw. Then, Agreed whispered to Hades, "Good boy, hand over the Eternal Flame, and I may spare your life. I mean what I say."

Hades glanced at the Eternal Flame in his hand, then clutched it tightly to his chest and roared, "You're dreaming!"

Upon hearing this, Agreed's face darkened. He then stopped speaking and reached out his large hand to crush Hades and seize the Eternal Flame. But at that moment, a dazzling white light appeared, and the Four Symbols Limit Domain exploded. Zeus rushed out of the Four Symbols Limit Domain and slashed at Agreed's dragon head with his sword.

Faced with Zeus's fierce sword strike, Agreed helplessly extended a finger to meet Zeus's swung sword. In the blink of an eye, Zeus was sent flying, and Agreed's finger was cut off and almost fell off.

But Agreed's fingers quickly returned to their original position and healed. Then Agreed turned to Zeus and praised him, "I'm really surprised that you were able to break through the Four Symbols Limit Domain. But looking at your aura..." As he spoke, Agreed looked Zeus up and down. At this moment, Zeus had turned into a black giant covered with colorful divine runes, which looked like a unique beauty.

Agreed found Zeus's state strangely familiar, so he couldn't help but probe, "You didn't eat all your brothers and sisters to save your own life, did you?" As he spoke, Agreed gave an evil smile, as if he knew everything.

Enraged, Zeus roared, "You damned beast, shut up!!" With that, Zeus, wielding his sword, charged toward Agreed without regard for the consequences.

Not long ago, when Zeus and the giants were trapped in the Four Symbols Limit, the giants were trapped and doomed due to the constant attacks from the phantoms of the four evil gods. In order to break the deadlock, Hera, the Queen of the Gods, proposed a crazy plan: to gather all the gods' divine power and strength into Zeus so that he could break the limit and kill Agreed, and then resurrect them with the power of the Eternal Fire.

Although this proposal was tantamount to sending the giants to their deaths, they had no choice. Rather than waiting there to be worn down, they might as well take a gamble and perhaps avenge them through Zeus. It must be admitted that under the life-or-death crisis brought by Agreed, the giants became more united than ever before. After a brief brainstorming session, all the giants made their choice: they entrusted all their power to Zeus and decided to go all out in the hope of securing a glimmer of hope for the giant race.

Zeus then gathered the power of the Olympian gods and cleaved open the four cardinal directions to fight Arged to the death, and by sheer coincidence, he rescued Hades from his desperate situation.

Zeus is, after all, the strongest god in the World Tree, which makes Agreed dare not be reckless. In addition, Hades is protected by the Eternal Flame. Agreed knows that he cannot take down the Eternal Flame, a hot potato, in a short time. So Agreed put Hades aside and opened his mouth to let the world-destroying dragon breath surge out and hit the tiny figure of Zeus.

Zeus raised his sword and charged forward with difficulty, enduring the baptism of dragon breath. Seeing this, Agreed also became serious, and the true form of the dragon god activated its nine dragon heads, simultaneously unleashing its breath, causing the scale of the dragon breath to suddenly surge and instantly knock Zeus down.

Seeing that Zeus was about to be destroyed by the dragon's breath, Hades, the god of the underworld, immediately took the Eternal Flame and rushed to Zeus's side without fear of death. Although Agreed noticed Hades's little move and tried to stop him, he was distracted by dealing with Zeus. In addition, Hades was a powerful god and was protected by the Eternal Flame. In the end, Agreed was unable to control Hades and allow him to reunite with Zeus.

Hades, a ruthless man, didn't hesitate and self-destructed, merging his divine essence and the Eternal Flame into Zeus's body. With the blessing of the Eternal Flame and Hades' divine essence, Zeus's size instantly increased, becoming comparable to Agreed's. At the same time, the War Sword in Zeus's hand also enlarged proportionally under the amplification of the Eternal Flame. Seeing this, Agreed was somewhat taken aback, not expecting that the power of the Eternal Flame had such good compatibility with the giant gods. However, it was understandable, since this flame was created by Hestia and shared the same origin as the giant gods.

Moreover, the Eternal Flame, as a treasure guarding Olympus, has been worshipped and believed in by the giant gods over the years, and the energy contained within it should not be underestimated. In addition, Zeus now possesses the divine power of all the giant gods, so even Agreed must go all out when facing Zeus in this form.

In the instant Agreed was stunned, Zeus drew the War Sword and, with the power of the gods now fused with the Eternal Flame within him, slashed at Agreed. In his haste, Agreed tore open a spatial rift and retrieved the Sword of Victory, which he had taken from the god of fertility, Frey, and Baldr's Sword of Light. The two swords rapidly enlarged in Agreed's hands, and he used them to parry Zeus's attack.

After his attack was blocked, Zeus immediately changed tactics and swung his sword horizontally. Seeing this, Agreed released the Sword of Victory and pierced Zeus's body, destroying his divine status. At the same time, he wielded the Sword of Light and fought against Zeus.

Both sides were skilled swordsmen, and for a time they fought fiercely, the battle raging on and on. Meanwhile, the Sword of Victory was wreaking havoc inside Zeus's body, but because the number of divine beings within Zeus was so enormous, the Sword of Victory could not threaten Zeus's life for the time being.

Zeus was aware of his internal condition and knew he had to finish the battle quickly, otherwise he would be killed from within by the Sword of Victory. So Zeus's offensive became more and more intense, but Agreed was not to be outdone. Zeus quickly seized an opportunity and swung his sword to cut off one of Agreed's arms. However, Agreed was not to be outdone and opened his mouth wide to bite off Zeus's arm that was holding the War God Sword.

Seeing this, Zeus delivered an uppercut that knocked Agreed to the ground. He then mounted Agreed and began to relentlessly pound him with fists imbued with divine power. Agreed retaliated with his remaining arm. Soon after, both arms grew back, and the fight intensified. This battle was so brutal that it inadvertently destroyed the entire Mount Olympus.

After some time, Agreed gained the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat, restraining Zeus's hands and pinning him down. Just as Agreed opened his blood-red maw to bite off Zeus's head, Zeus smashed a headbutt into Agreed's chin. Wounded, Agreed immediately used the golden eye on his chest, and a beam of destructive golden light shot out from Agreed's chest, piercing through Zeus beneath him.
