Thunder roared. The once-glorious realm of Olympus was now cloaked in shadows and screaming winds. Great temples shattered. Marble pillars crumbled like paper. The divine palace burned with silver flames, and celestial beings ran rampant—gods clashing against gods, loyalists falling to rebels. It was war.
And then—
A black-and-silver rift opened in the sky.
From it descended a figure wreathed in pure abyssal power—calm, composed, terrible. Jin Shang stepped onto the cracked marble floor of Olympus, his silver-white hair drifting with the wind, golden eyes glowing like twin suns in the void.
His arrival alone silenced the battlefield.
All eyes turned.
Hera, blood-streaked and fuming, staggered back as her aura flared in panic. Hades narrowed his eyes, trying to make sense of the overwhelming pressure. Zeus, standing at the shattered throne, gripped his lightning spear with trembling hands.
Jin looked around.
So this is what the gods have become.
Zeus, face gaunt, thunder in his grasp. Hera, trembling, her eyes hollow with betrayal. Poseidon, cloaked in roaring waves. Apollo, blood streaming from his mouth. Artemis, bow crackling with lunar light. Hephaestus, smoke rising from his scorched limbs. Hermes, flickering with panic.
Jin stopped, silent. Then he spoke.
"You believed yourselves divine. Eternal. Righteous."
Zeus's voice thundered. "You've slaughtered your gods, boy. This ends here!"
Jin's expression didn't shift.
"No, Zeus. This began long before today. The day you destroyed the true gods. The day you imprisoned Kronos. The day you let Rhea suffer."
Zeus stepped forward. " You think, you're above us because you defeated Gaia."
"No," Jin replied. "I am what you fear. I am the convergence breaker. The one born from the Absolute Line. The true heir of Chaos."
He let the words linger, then added with a cruel smile, "Son of Han Jin Hyuk—the reincarnation of Kronos. And Eva, the reborn Rhea. The blood of Kronos and Rhea flows through me."
Silence rippled. It felt like time had stopped. Zeus's grip on his weapon loosened slightly. Hades turned pale. Even Hera's lips parted in a rare expression of disbelief.
Hera gasped. "No… that's not possible…"
Poseidon staggered. "Kronos… had no heir—"
"He did," Jin cut in coldly. "You just didn't know. My mother, Eva—her soul is Rhea reborn. My father—Han Jin Hyuk—was Kronos returned. Reincarnated, sealed, and killed by your hand. And me… I am what you feared. The last Titan reborn. The Ultimate weapon. I am the reason for this battle."
Lightning crackled. The gods stood paralyzed.
Hermes stammered. "You… manipulated us?"
Jin stepped closer, voice like thunder muffled in snow.
" Yes, my nephew. Every step. Every move. It was all mine. I let Gaia speak. I led Hera into rebellion. I turned you all against each other."
His eyes locked with Hera's.
"Even Persephone's death… was my design."
Hedes collapsed to his knees. "You… killed her?"
" Yes," he whispered. "It was my plan."
A vision flickered in their minds—Jin standing beside Persephone in a dreamlike field. A silent farewell. A smile that meant goodbye.
Hades roared, black lightning surrounding him. "YOU MONSTER!"
Jin opened his arms.
"Come then. Let Olympus fall."
Poseidon screamed, a tidal wave rising behind him. "FOR THE GODS!"
Jin blurred forward.
He caught the trident mid-thrust.
"Time Bends for Me."
Poseidon's body aged and reversed, until water swallowed him whole, turning his form into seafoam. The ocean god was no more.
Hermes blinked—only to find Jin beside him.
"Speed is nothing to a timeless soul."
His chest exploded, Jin's hand ripping his heart through time itself.
Artemis screamed, arrows raining.
Jin stepped through them.
"Lia once loved the moon," he whispered.
His blade pierced her.
She collapsed, eyes wide with sorrow.
Apollo rose in flame, light bursting like the sun.
Jin raised his palm.
"I love eclipse not rise."
He tore apart his head from his body. The solar god disintegrated into ash.
Hephaestus charged, hammer blazing with celestial fire.
Jin let the blow land.
He didn't budge.
The hammer shattered.
"You built weapons to control fate. But fate built me."
He crushed Hephaestus's skull in one blow.
Zeus stood alone.
Hera wept beside him.
"You betrayed the Titans, the cycle, your blood," Jin said. "Now reap what you sowed."
Zeus hurled his mightiest bolt.
Jin disappeared.
When he reappeared, his blade pierced Zeus's heart from behind.
"Tell Kronos hello."
Zeus burst into divine fragments.
Hera whispered, "I only wanted Olympus to thrive…"
"And you built it over the corpses of gods greater than you."
He touched her brow.
She turned to golden mist, her spirit dispersing.
From the shadows came Hades, wreathed in souls.
"Welcome to your end, Abyssal King."
Jin's voice was calm. "I am your end."
They clashed in the sky, souls howling between them. Hades summoned his legions.
Jin whispered. "Erebus, respond."
Abyssal shadows devoured Hades' forces. He screamed as Jin pulled the authority of death from his body.
"Rest now," Jin said, as Hades' bones collapsed into dust.
After the battle, Jin stood atop the crumbling remains of the Divine Throne.
"I am Jin Shang. I am Kronos's vengeance. Rhea's legacy. The Final Abyss. The True Equilibrium."
He lifted his hand.
A vortex of pure energy swirled above him.
Olympus screamed.
Temples fell. Skies burned. The roots of the mountain cracked and shattered.
With one final whisper—"Fall."
Mount Olympus exploded.
The divine palace turned to dust. The mountain that once ruled the heavens vanished into darkness.
Silence.
Only one figure remained, hovering above the burning sky.
Jin Shang.
The new king.
Jin turned his gaze to the stars.
The war had ended.
But the Monarchs were watching.
And something worse was coming.
