Chapter 47 Huge Debt
Tarun's sudden appearance caught all the gods off guard.
He hasn't appeared for hundreds of years, and everyone has accepted the fact that he has been imprisoned forever by the God-King, and even sighed about it.
These great gods had also seen the barrier that was set up by the God King in anger, and they knew better than anyone how powerful the divine power contained in it was.
Look, even the God King himself was stopped.
Kronos's expression at this moment was so ugly that it could not be described. His eyes were bloodshot and fire was almost spewing out of them, but he was helpless in the face of the barrier that he had set up with his own hands.
After taking a few deep breaths, Kronos suppressed his inner anger and turned around to leave.
He knew that countless Titans were watching this place, and staying here would only embarrass him further.
There is no time to delay, he needs to contact the gods immediately. He will not be at peace until these rebels are captured.
A sense of urgency lingered in Kronos' heart, as well as a hint of fear that he dared not savor.
But these are not things that Taron and Zeus care about.
Although he had long known that the person in front of him was mysterious and powerful, there must have been some arrangement for him to come to the Void.
But even though he had already guessed it in his heart, Zeus still felt incomparable shock when he saw Taren walk out of the barrier that even the God King could not pass through.
In some ways, has the power of His Highness Taren surpassed that of the God King Kronos?
In the eyes of the gods, the God King is the representative of invincibility. He holds the power of creation and is the most powerful existence in the world.
But Taron appears to be just a powerful god, not even as powerful as Zeus himself now, but he can do things that even the King of Gods cannot do. How can he not be surprised?
With this mentality, he showed unprecedented humility. Even in front of Gaia, the Mother Goddess of the Earth, he had never been so polite.
Tarun didn't care about it at all, and he wouldn't believe that Zeus was really a simple and harmless boy just because of his behavior.
He even deliberately let Zeus see all this.
In fact, what the gods sensed was correct. Taron only had powerful divine power now, but he did not surpass the Titans, and was not even stronger than the naturally powerful Zeus.
Although no one seems to believe this now, it is true.
He was able to freely pass through the barriers set up by the God King simply by borrowing the power of the world.
After hundreds of years of attempts, he has become more and more proficient in borrowing power. However, he doesn't know if it's because he is not a God King, but the power he can borrow is currently very limited.
At least if he were to fight Kronos, he would definitely not be able to defeat him.
Even among the Titans, Taren would not be as good as the Zeus in front of him if they really fought. At most, he could only bully the three generations of gods who were born later.
But at the moment, whether it is the Titans, Zeus, or even Kronos, they probably don't want to fight him.
Because they were all convinced that Taren was more powerful than he appeared to be.
So as long as he doesn't take the initiative to fight, no one will be so foolish as to cause trouble for him.
"Your Highness Taron, thank you for your assistance." Finally, it was Zeus who took the initiative to speak, breaking the somewhat quiet atmosphere. "Your Highness Prometheus told you before that as long as you are willing to meet with me, I will agree to one condition of yours."
"Including the protection you gave me when I was little, I now owe you three things. Do you have anything you would like to ask of me?"
Zeus acted very politely and even took the initiative to mention these three conditions that he had once resisted.
Because he has increasingly witnessed Taren's power, with his keenness, he knows very well what today's scene represents.
He was even extremely grateful that he made such a big noise that the eyes of all the gods were focused here, and they could clearly see him and Taren entering the void together, while the God King Kronos was blocked outside.
In the eyes of the gods, this undoubtedly sent a signal that Taren, whose strength was suspected to exceed that of the God King, was biased towards and even supported him.
This benefited him more than a little.
At this moment, Zeus has fully realized the importance of Taron, and decided to win him over without leaving any room for negotiation, and he would make Taron support him at all costs.
For this, he is willing to do whatever it takes.
Tarun didn't know what Zeus was thinking, but he could sense his determination, so he smiled and said slowly, "There's no rush for those three conditions."
"I haven't decided what to do for you yet. When I figure it out, I'll come find you."
Zeus nodded quickly and said, "Your Highness Taron, you have seen that the God King Kronos is insatiable. Under his rule, the world is in utter chaos, with frequent conflicts among the gods, and oppression and suffering everywhere. I want to put an end to all this."
"I wonder if you would be willing to help. If so, how could I possibly thank you?"
This is negotiating terms.
Zeus was not so naive. Prometheus's previous hints had made it very clear that it was impossible to get Taron's help without paying some benefits.
He said these words just to test Taron's "bottom price" so that he would have a better idea of the situation.
"I don't want anything." Tarun glanced at him calmly and repeated, "I'm not interested in the fight between you either."
Zeus's mouth twitched, realizing that this depended on his sincerity. So he gritted his teeth and took the initiative to say, "If I can become the new King of Gods, I will swear never to lay a hand on you. You will always be my guest of honor, unless you take the initiative to harm me."
Zeus knew very well why Taron and Kronos did not get along well, because Kronos was afraid of the existence of Taron, the god of fate.
As the King of Gods, he would not allow anyone who feared him to exist, so he tried every means to deal with Taren and wanted to imprison Taren.
This is understandable. No God King can accept a more powerful existence next to his throne. This is a provocation to the authority of the God King and a challenge to the throne.
I think this is what Tarun is tired of. He has done nothing, but he is targeted by the King of Gods just because he is too powerful.
But there is nothing we can do about it, and it is unavoidable.
Zeus made this assurance to tell Taron that he would not make the same mistake as Kronos.
The oath is powerful. Now that he has said this, no matter how powerful Taron becomes in the future, Zeus will not be able to do anything to harm him.
This is a heavy promise, far more valuable than the three moderate conditions. In a sense, the future Taren will be even more special than the God King.
But when Tarun heard this, he just smiled and said nothing.
Then Zeus knew that this was not enough.
The young Zeus gritted his teeth and prepared to bleed heavily today.
