Chapter 516 - 150: Typhon
Crete Island, the place where Zeus was born and raised, saw the Divine King grant his bloodline to a mortal once again.
However, this time, perhaps because the much stronger Zeus had prepared in advance, or possibly because he left his [Thunder] on Mount of the Gods as a diversion, the Heavenly Empress was completely unaware of the anomaly here.
Meanwhile, three rafts from the beaches of the Phoenician kingdom made their way into the sea. Without sails, helpers, or even sea charts, the brave princes embarked on a journey to find their sister. Full of confidence, they agreed to meet again in ten years, then, wielding heavy oars, they set off in directions toward where Europa had vanished.
It was just an ordinary day, nothing more than an amorous pursuit by the Divine King. Yet even Zeus himself did not realize that as the King of All Gods, increasingly bound by the laws of this world, his every action actually brought consequences, big or small.
So, when the three princes left the kingdom, and when one of them finally crossed the vast sea to touch land, deep within the earth, a change that could have occurred long ago finally took its last step.
To an Outsider looking to blend into a realm that rejects its existence, the best way is to wear a layer of the native’s skin. And for Chaos, the most useful ’skin’ in the world was undoubtedly Its own deeply scarred ’fate.’

It would do what she wanted to do on her behalf and become the sharpest sword in her hand... Yes, having learned from her past mistake, Gaia was no longer planning to take action herself.
She might be a bit emotional at times, but she wasn’t truly foolish. She just hadn’t adjusted her attitude correctly.
When Uranus was still around, Gaia was known to be patient and scheming in the shadows. But after the first Divine King’s eternal slumber, his successors were always seen as juniors by her, especially Zeus.
This disparity in perception caused Gaia to face her opponent incorrectly, and compounded by repeated losses, ultimately led to her mad attempt to break through Mount of the Gods.
But now she had calmed down and recognized reality once again. Thus, facing Zeus once more, Gaia chose another approach.
"Just like with the Silver Humanity back then,"
"At that time, Erebus provided the power, assisting me in troubling Laine. When everything was revealed, it was he and Laine who clashed, and from beginning to end, it had little to do with me."
In silent contemplation, Gaia, still unaware of the reasons behind the Golden Apple Tree changing hands, made such a judgment and felt it was time to face Zeus, the third generation Divine King, properly.
She didn’t need to take action herself, which would further incur sanctions from the world against her. Better let that monster deal with Zeus.
Once, Erebus lacked the ability to create life, so she substituted for him; now, the Flesh-Mother Tree couldn’t send too much power through the seal, so it needed her to foster it, a scene so very similar.
She just needed to replicate what she had already done. If it succeeded, then it would be perfect. If it failed, she would just let Zeus and that terrible creature battle it out. In her heart, even though Gaia now worked with the Mother Tree as an associate, she had never trusted that life form, perfect enough to send a chill down her spine.
