Zeus, the God of Thunder glances at the several figures in front of him.

From Demigods to Gods, dozens of entities of all shapes and sizes reunite around him, all of them seem to be wounded, and their expressions are discomfort and anger.

Giant Lizards, two-headed golems made of lava, a long, red-scaled snake, a man with silver-colored skin covered in metallic ore, and many more.

All of them were figures prayed upon by mortals, divine entities that have transcended mortality and had acquired immortal souls, their power varied greatly, but all of them were hidden dragons on their own, entities that could easily suppress any type of Mortal… or well, perhaps not Kireina when she was a mortal.

However, all of them were wounded and filled with scars, their expressions were hard to tell due to their varied features, but anyone that glanced at them would easily notice how angered and frustrated they seemed to be.

They were the various Gods that lived in the Lower Realm, which Zeus decided to attack and force to cooperate with him.

Most of them were enslaved against their will, as Zeus used powerful contracts made of Divine Techniques, forcing anyone he defeated to become submissive and do whatever he pleased.

All these Gods had varied backgrounds, origins, and more, but they all seemed to have been formerly Lone Gods who simply wanted to live peaceful lives and by themselves within the Lower Realm, but Zeus came and ruined their lives. Although not all of the Gods of the Lower Realm were here, most of them were, and Zeus had made sure to look at every corner rather viciously.

Due to the lack of other Gods from the central continent here, there were not many rules that said anything about him not needing to be aggressive against other gods that had not provoked him before or some other stupid pact or oath that the Gods of the Central Continent did to maintain peace with one another.

In here it was a free-for-all place.

Zeus had already known about this place before but had never explored it in detail because he never saw any point in that, the world was mostly devoid of anything that interested him, and there wasn't anything he could farm from this place.

However, after Kireina was reborn in Genesis and then caused all sorts of problems and disputes with his family, he changed and became completely dead-set in finding ways to ruin her for once, and anything went for the vicious Titan-slayer.

One of such amazing ideas that came to his mind, seeing how Kireina found refugee from the surface in the Lower Realm, was to simply do the thing he was best at, intimidate, extort, and force the Gods of the Lower Realm to do as he pleased.

He went through all their Divine Realms using the links that each God had with one another.

He forced the Gods he defeated to create portals to other God Divine Realms, and like this, he unfiltered inside Divine Realms and took down any God that resisted one by one.

His might was immense, his power overwhelming, and his authority was overwhelming.

One by one they were defeated, and one by one they were forced to prostrate before him.

Gods usually shut down their Divine Links with others in fear of Raids like these, but the Lower Realm Gods were often not aggressive, especially those that lived in the same pantheon, and they often visited each other daily, making Zeus raids incredibly easy.

The God of Thunder simply flew inside their Divine Realms, oppressed them with his immense might, and they were not able to do anything against him.

He fought them, suppressed them, and enslaved them.

A God that was even admired on the surface, Zeus was indeed someone with immense might to fight so many Gods continuously (and without any help at all), defeat them, and forcing them to obey him.

Even when these varied groups of Gods resisted against his might using all kinds of varied abilities and Divine Techniques, they all were utterly defeated by a single move from Zeus.

He waved his hand, and thunder fell over them.

A second after, they were utterly defeated, thrown to the floor, and almost dead.

Each… and every single time.

Did anyone even have a chance against Zeus?

Many of the Gods forced to obey him thought that if it weren't a Great God, that there wasn't any chance, anyone that were to fight him would be defeated…

And even then, he had fought and defeated Great Gods before, such as the Titans, which he sliced into pieces with his family and sealed them while grabbing a lot of their Divine Soul Fragments and distributed them as prizes for his family…

Anyone would be defeated by him, the Gods knew this very well.

They saw him with their very eyes, there was no doubt, he was peerless.

Even Kireina should be ultimately defeated…

Many of the Gods didn't understand why he prepared so much to kill Kireina.

After all, his might was immense, couldn't he simply confront her and kill her on the spot?

Even if she were able to eat divinity and gods, she couldn't possibly be able to eat a whole thunder like that, charged with the power of his amazing Artifact, Divinity, and a lot of Divine Energy…

She wouldn't be able to eat all of such enormous power, and would simply die while being overwhelmed.

Was there any point in all this preparation?

It was clear that Zeus had faith in his own power seeing how he simply went inside their divine realms, beat the crap out of them, and then enslaved all of them incredibly easily.

As if it were a mere walk in the park for the vicious and malicious God of Sky and Thunder.

The God simply walked into their Divine Realms, beat them, and enslaved them… was there any doubt in his victory against Kireina?

No, he would simply win.

He was easily sweeping the floor with these Gods as he entered their divine realms, beat them, and enslaved them… Was there any point in thinking that he could possible lose?

The Gods glanced at Zeus with anger and frustration, whatever this old man was planning didn't fit his personality.

Or maybe he was always careful?

Or perhaps… Kireina made him this way.

After all, Hephaestus got killed by underestimating Kireina, so he tried to do everything he could to not underestimate her, even to the point of preparing a giant army against her.

He also used all the resources he has been preparing for this decisive battle, everything went, after all.

And he even called all of his children and their families.

He had prepared well.

And by having faith in that she would appear in the Divine Area of the three Dark Flames which fate itself told him (presumably), he awaited her with the giant army he had made.

The Dragon Gods were now also present in their new bodies, using the vessels they had taken, they took into new human-like bodies of Epic Users that became Gods thanks to their nurturement, and held great strength too.

They seemingly came here looking for Kireina because Zudig supposedly was here as well, and the Dragon Gods wanted to have revenge against him.

However, Zeus was not stupid enough to leave other areas unguarded and held into Teleportation Crystals he had saved beforehand to go somewhere else if he occasion called to it.

He had left the places well-guarded, such as the Elven Kingdom, Azuma Empire, and even Vretrion's Kingdom.

He planned to let these Realm Menaces join his Pantheon after all of this ended, and add their mortal Kingdoms to his religion, to gain even more power through worship.

He had big plans… and he was already looking forward to the future ahead.

Zeus glanced at the gods he beat down and enslaved with a prideful expression.

"All of you should rejoice. Kireina will soon come here, and all of your strength will be put to good use! Defeating that damn devil will bring a new era, an era where that beast will not roam around any longer and cause chaos everywhere… An era that will become mine! By working for me, that era will also become yours," said Zeus, no God cheered.

He was not a leader, he was a tyrant. And as a tyrant, he didn't care if those that served him didn't like what he was going to do, nor if they would happily do what he ordered them to do.

They were going to obey him, no matter what.

"It seems that they are not quite eager…" said Athena at Zeus' side.

"I don't care what they want or not. They will be useful pawns… Kireina must have grown stronger since she became a Goddess… We need to be prepared," said Zeus.

"It has only been about a week, she can't reach any level of strength comparable to you, father, don't get so overworked about it… You already prepared a lot," said Athena.

"My daughter, in this world you are never too cautious! You already know what happened to Hephaestus… He underestimated and he… he and his family… they died…" sighed Zeus. Even as the monstrous tyrant that he was, he still cared about his children, and felt anger and sorrow over their death.

"I see… Well, you may be right. Although unless she had eaten a Time God, I doubt she could dilate the time of her Divine Realm or something, so I doubt much more time has gone by compared to us…" said Athena.

"Hmph, you never know… Anyways, how is everyone? Are they prepared?" asked Zeus.

"Artemis had come here with Envy, while part of our family will remain within the Elven Kingdom to guard it, though I doubt Kireina would ever go there if fate says she will come here. Fate never lies after all. Ares had come here with Pride, and part of his family guards the Vretrion Kingdom, meanwhile, Part of Dyonisos and Hermes Family is within Azuma Empire… The rest is all here, ready to slaughter her whenever she finally shows up. Even if she brings her army, we are ready with ours," said Athena, she was confident in their victory, and was also confident in taking away from Kireina her heroine, Ismena, the former princess of the Athetosea Kingdom who was destined to be a Legendary Heroine but was transformed into a Fairy by Kireina and then made her wife.

Zeus nodded with confidence.

"Also, the Dragons had decided to go in front of our formation… And the Heroes of Azuma, our puppets, are also in front. Through them, we'll be able to see how capable is Kireina first, and then we can use our abilities to counter her powers," said Athena.

"I see. Everything is almost done then… Now we must simply wait for her next move… And then we'll strike and decimate her…" said Zeus, his expression was serious, but he was dead set in killing Kireina once and for all.

"Do you want to kill her family as well?" asked Athena.

"There will be many casualties, but the weaklings… leave them alive. There's no joy if we don't take some spoils, right? I also want Alice to be left alive, so if any of you ever see her, try to restrain her, and not kill her at all costs. She's the thing I am looking forward to the most. I will bring you a new sibling with her womb," said Zeus.

"Alice… To think that you are still thinking about her… Wasn't she already stained by the devil? Why would you want such a woman?" asked Athena.

"With Hestia's help, we can clean her memories and body, and bring back her virginity, ripe for me to take again… But aside from her, the devil has a large harem. I plan in taking a few of them, and perhaps any of her surviving daughters as well, which I will also bring you many siblings," said Zeus.

"Ugh, I see that you were so serious and all, but you are still thinking such stuff…" sighed Athena, as she walked away as Zeus kept looking over the area where Kireina was supposed to come patiently.
