Taren's appearance caught everyone off guard.
So shocked was Zeus that he couldn't even control his facial expression for a moment, which meant he didn't react appropriately immediately.
Styx of the River of Oaths was the first to react, exclaiming excitedly, "Your Highness Taren, you're free?"
As a third-generation god, Styx had never actually met Taron.
But Oceanus was the most devoted of all the Titans to Taron, and told his beloved children many stories about Taron.
Thus, Styx could even be said to have grown up listening to the stories of Taren, and she held this mysterious god of fate in the highest esteem.
Taren greeted her with a smile, and casually remarked, "I've never been in trouble; it was just that my time hadn't come yet."
He quoted Zeus as saying what he had just said.
But when he said these words, the effect was completely different from when Zeus said them.
In an instant, all the gods had the same thought: Taren was no longer afraid of the combined blockade of the seven Titans.
That's why he was able to leave so easily and say that he was never trapped.
At the same time, a question also arose in everyone's mind:
Just how powerful is this mysterious Prince Taren?
Nyx did not appear. When this powerful Lord of the Night did not want to reveal herself, no one could find her. Therefore, in everyone's eyes, Taren appeared entirely on his own power.
This explains why he was able to approach the gods silently, because his divine power had surpassed that of the God King!
In an instant, eager looks appeared in the eyes of the gods. Taren's strength was undoubtedly the best boost to their morale, and they now had no doubt that they would win.
Poseidon and the other gods had never seen Tarun before, and at this moment they remained silent and cautious, simply observing.
No one noticed how complex Zeus's expression was at that moment, sitting atop his throne.
He tried everything to erase Taren's presence, but despite all his efforts, he was immediately ignored whenever Taren appeared.
Just as Zeus was about to lose control, a soft hand gently rested on his shoulder. Zeus was startled and turned around to see the beautiful Metis.
Metis shook his head gently at him, his beautiful eyes filled with undisguised worry.
Zeus instantly regained his senses. He reached out and patted Metis's hand to indicate that he was alright. At the same time, he smiled broadly and stood up to greet him, saying, "Great Prince Tarren, your presence is the greatest honor on Mount Olympus!"
"I am now more and more convinced that victory belongs to us!"
Under his influence, everyone became excited, and everyone was convinced that they would succeed. So, in this excitement, they began to enjoy the wine and look forward to a bright tomorrow.
When King Cronus discovered that Taron had left, unparalleled rage instantly overwhelmed him—no, not only him, but also the six Titans felt the same rage of being fooled.

They felt they had been played for a fool.
Upon learning that Taren was with Zeus and that the two sides were now bound together, even the six Titans could no longer remain silent.
It should be noted that the three Fates have explicitly stated that Talen will pose a threat to the Titans' divine authority.
Now that Taron and Zeus are on the same side, doesn't that mean that the new order created by Zeus will threaten their great Titan divine authority?
This is no longer just a matter for the God King's family!
The six Titans followed Cronus to Mount Olympus without much hesitation. They were determined to completely suppress these traitors and imprison them, along with that hateful god of fate, forever!
In this way, they can protect the glory and power that belong to their great Titan god!
To their utter surprise, in such a short time, these traitors had gained many more helpers, including some of their own blood relatives!
Rhea goes without saying; she was the one who initiated this rebellion. But besides Rhea, there were actually twelve other Titans involved!
Oceanus, the god of the ocean, appeared directly with his wife Tethys. The moment they showed up at the feast of the gods, they stopped pretending and the entire ocean galaxy went all in on Zeus.
Besides these two, Themis, the goddess of justice and law, also appeared in Zeus's camp.
Now, all the Titans appeared except for Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory.
The ocean current couple, needless to say, showed a clear inclination from the beginning, but Themis's appearance still caught the gods off guard.
She was the goddess Rhea visited when Zeus led his people into the void for the first time and clashed with the King of the Gods.
Themis symbolizes justice and order, but the world is becoming increasingly chaotic under Cronus's rule, which Themis has long been dissatisfied with.
After Zeus displayed his power, Themis, persuaded by Rhea, joined Zeus's camp.
Now, Cronus, the king of the gods, has six Titans besides himself, while Zeus has four.
Although there are fewer Titans, the number of powerful third-generation gods like Poseidon far exceeds that of Cronus's side. At least for now, there doesn't seem to be a significant difference in strength between the two sides.
At least neither side has an overwhelming advantage.
Seeing this, Cronus felt extremely angry. He shouted, "Okeanos, Tethys, Themis, are you betraying the glory of our Titan race?!"
That's your glory, not ours.
Oceanus, who harbored a long-standing grudge against Cronus, retorted without backing down.
Themis did not speak, but the scales of justice in her hands had already tipped, signifying a disruption in the order of the times, which was also the reason for her presence here.
"Enough with the nonsense, you greedy god-king! All of this today is the price you pay for your past greed!"
Zeus's cheerful voice echoed throughout Mount Olympus, and with his appearance, Cronus's reason was further consumed by rage.
It's all because of that damned traitor!
All of this is because of this damned traitor!
Rage consumed everything. Cronus unleashed his fury, and with his movement, the other six Titans charged forward.
Zeus was equally unwilling to back down, and the two sides quickly engaged in battle.
They revealed their enormous bodies, and the forces of law clashed violently, bringing wave after wave of impact.
The incredibly powerful Titans casually grabbed massive mountains and hurled them at Zeus. Zeus and the other gods would also lift giant rocks and throw them back. They could even use fire and rivers as weapons at will. Under their battles, the whole world began to teeter on the brink of collapse.
The vegetation that had grown over thousands of years was destroyed in an instant, countless weak lives died silently in the aftermath of the battle, and countless weak gods who were not qualified to participate trembled in fear of being caught in the crossfire.
No matter how fiercely the two sides fought, they could never completely eliminate each other.
Because God cannot be killed.
In the blink of an eye, this battle has lasted for a full ten years.
For ten years, they fought every day. When they were tired, they would go back to drink and party to rest. When they were rested, they would continue to fight. Neither side suffered any actual damage, nor did any god fall.
Ten years is but the time it takes to brew a cup of tea for the long-lived gods, but for this world, it is a tremendous catastrophe.
The world was ravaged and devastated by this fierce battle.
The most direct impact of this was on Gaia, the Earth Mother.
When the war was temporarily suspended again, Gaia could no longer bear the endless noise. She went to Mount Olympus and said to Zeus, "It has been ten years, Zeus!"
"The endless tremors of the earth are making me restless. I must end this farce quickly, let Cronus, who violated the laws of reproduction, receive the punishment he deserves, let the curse of that generation of god-kings be fulfilled as soon as possible, and let my ears have some peace and quiet!"
Zeus dared not neglect the Earth Mother and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Great Earth Mother Goddess, as you can see, we have neither the power to kill the other nor the power to crush him."
"Although I am also extremely anxious, the fact is that this battle may go on indefinitely."
Upon hearing this, Gaia's beautiful face was filled with annoyance: "I hate endless war!"
"Zeus, do you know that Uranus, the god of the sky, once sent my six giant children back into my body through the abyss of Tartarus? I barely managed to calm them down, but now I've been awakened by your foolish war!"
"Their cries and battles echo in my mind are more despairing than the abyss! Zeus, if you cannot end this battle quickly, then cease fighting!"
Zeus was also filled with helplessness upon hearing this, but there was nothing he could do but try his best to appease the agitated Mother Earth.
However, at that moment, a faint voice rang out: "In that case, Your Highness Zeus, why don't you go to Tartarus in the abyss and release those six princes?"
Upon hearing this, Zeus and Gaia were both taken aback. They watched as the white-robed figure slowly approached them, while Taren also smiled at them.
"Great Mother Earth, it's been a long time, but you are still as radiant as ever."
Taren greeted Gaia, but Gaia had no time to respond; her mind was filled with only the words, "Release the six giants."
Her irritation, which had been building up over ten years of turmoil, suddenly eased. The Earth Mother looked at Zeus and agreed, saying, "Yes, Zeus, why don't you release those six giants?"
"With their help, you will surely succeed, and I will finally find peace!"
Zeus hesitated upon hearing this
