I'm The Devil

Chapter 61: Titanomachy 8: Crius’s Defeat

It has been months since Zeus and Crius were at each others throat and none of them could overpower the other.

With the powers of the stars and the cosmic constellation under his control, Crius has become an absolute being that could even pose a threat to a Primal god and might even defeat some of the Primordials but Zeus was not just any god but some one trained under the watchful eyes of the Devil, a Being that can reap the life of anyone with just his gaze, so facing Crius, he was not the least scared instead he found a worthy opponent in him.

Prometheus, Epimetheus and the Hekatonkheires and the Cyclopes faced the 12 Zodiacs of Crius, who are also proving to be very difficult to put down as they keep getting back up after a few hours of defeating them, which has become an headache to their opponents.

The reason why the Zodiacs are unkillable is because they are not true beings but are physical manifestation of the 12 Cosmic Constellations of the Cosmos and as long as Crius lives, they can not be destroyed.

Meanwhile all of these did not escape the eyes of Lucifer and Amiel who decided to join him as she could not be present on the battlefield because he refused her.

"What a waste of such power" said Lucifer while watching the 12 Zodiacs being manhandled "the power of the Constellations are supposed to be possessed by people, but I don’t blame him, gods are to prideful to possess that power and would not be able to unleash it’s full potential, so it is better to just leave it to its own will" said Lucifer.

He knew the best way for the power of a Zodiac to be of good use is when it is being wield by someone and not just any someone but a special species, Humans, they are the only people who can bring out the truth power of the Zodiacs not gods who will be to prideful as they will deem it as a borrowed power.

"This battle has been going on for far too long, it is time for it to end, let me go and end it" said Amiel while giving Lucifer a puppy but he did not budge, making Amiel Pout in annoyance "tsk, you are an even bigger meanie than Coriel. Speaking of Coriel, when are they coming back? I miss them already"

"Just say what you want to say, that you should have gone along with them if you knew I was never going to let you partake in the war" said Lucifer clearly reading his little sister.

After a few days of exchanging blows, Crius was finally defeated and Zeus tied him up in the chains and the flash of light appeared again and after everything returned normal, Crius was nowhere to be found and his 12 Zodiacs also vanished as if they were not there in the first place.

With the absence of Crius and his Zodiacs, the Olympians easily defeated the troops of the Titans and captured Atlas and Menoetius taking them back to Mt. Olympus.

Mt. Olympus

After a few weeks of rest, Metis gathered the Olympians together for a meeting "it is time we take the fight to them, I highly doubt that after the recent defeat, they are going to send more of their troops alongside the Titans to battle which we don’t want, so after a few months of rest, we are attacking the Titans’s camp and ending this war once and for all" said Metis as she looked at the eyes of each and everyone present.

"Finally, I thought you were never going to say it, so how long do you intend for us to rest cause honestly speaking, I doubt we even need any" said Epimetheus enthusiastically as he is too excited to head into battle.

Metis looked at the battle maniac and sighed "we are talking about two to four months here and that we will also give us a lot of time to prepare, you don’t want to underestimate your enemy especially the Titans" said Metis while waiting for anybody else who has something to say.

Silence reigned supreme as nobody said anything, so Metis said a few other things before calling it a day.

Back at The Titans camp

Chronos sat on his throne as he looked at a piece of paper in his hands which put a smile on his face.

He put the letter away before turning to face the direction of where Mt. Olympus is "your end is near, I can’t wait to have you lots at my feet"
