'˜Where is this?'™ Upon opening his eyes, Yeon-woo tried to pin down his location. Since he had already played Kronos'™ legends before, accessing the time period he was in would allow for a smoother progression of events.

'˜A tent?'™ However, Yeon-woo felt like he was in a vastly different Olympus than the one that had been present in most of Kronos'™ memories. Because Olympus had many gods who ruled over art, it was filled with marbled palaces with various sculptures and paintings. But he wasn'™t in such a place at all. He was in a large tent that one could probably see in an old battlefield of the past. Still, the tent was made of a luxurious material with beautiful patterns.

Yeon-woo first released his holy power to search for Uranus. Suddenly, he was surrounded by a wave of heat, energy, and the remaining murderous auras on the battlefield.

[You have been heavily stimulated.]

[The domain of fight quakes!]

[Kronos'™ legends are currently being played. The aforementioned domain has no relation to this legend, and it is forcefully canceled.]

[The domain of fight struggles to be let loose.]

[The domain of fight trembles.]

'˜What'¦?'™ Yeon-woo had never experienced such a thing before. The domain of fight was a legend he had built entirely with his own strength. It was almost never stimulated, no matter what happened, and it was easy to control as well.

Surprised by its rough reaction, Yeon-woo quickly opened the tent and left, not able to grasp the time period he was in. Whoosh! At that moment, a pungent burnt smell pricked the end of his nose.

Cough! It was such a pungent smell for even Yeon-woo, who had seen countless battles. Whoosh! His head hurt, and his chest felt constricted just from smelling it. His fingertips quivered, and his skin prickled. His heart thumped loudly.

[The domain of fight shakes turbulently!]

[The domain of fight warns you that this is a dangerous place!]

[The domain is canceled because it has no relation to this legend.]

Beyond the ominous black-red sky filled with smoke'¦there was a vast 'œblackness.' It wasn'™t something Yeon-woo could explain. It was just black'”darkness that buried the presence of light. Like a blacked-out sphere, the dark thing filled the horizon and slowly moved in his direction, covering the sky, earth, and everything above it.

Chills ran down Yeon-woo'™s back. '˜Void? Abyss? No, it'™s darker than that. I can at least recognize those, but that'™s'¦ What is that?'™ Yeon-woo recalled Kronos'™ legends he had experienced and went over the incidents he'™d heard of from Kronos, but he had never seen or heard of such a thing. He wondered if there was a legend that had been omitted from Kronos, or if he had been connected to the wrong place'¦ There was one thing that came to his mind.

'˜The swamp'¦'™ Yeon-woo thought of the swamp of darkness where Kronos and the Demonism had first met. Although they looked completely different, the aura they exuded felt similar. Still, this wasn'™t the area where he had first discovered the swamp, and it definitely hadn'™t acted like that.

'œWhy are you out? I told you not to come out until I send someone.' Yeon-woo finally looked away from the darkness when he heard a scolding voice from behind. It was a reprimanding voice, but one with warmth and concern nevertheless. Standing there was someone he had seen many times in Kronos'™ legends: Oceanus, who was the oldest of Kronos'™ siblings.

After Uranus lost his power, Oceanus and Theia fought against each other, leading to Olympus'™ civil war. However, Oceanus was a soft-tempered being who despised war and loved peace. When Kronos caused trouble, Oceanus was the first to defend him, and he understood Kronos'™ unfortunate situation. After Kronos became the Black King'™s Apostle, Oceanus willingly gave up his position and announced his retirement.

'˜Father was apathetic when speaking about the other brothers, but he stressed that Oceanus is someone worthy of respect.'™ Yeon-woo narrowed his eyes. '˜But no one knows of his whereabouts after he retired during Kronos'™ rule and even during Zeus'™ age.'™

Since all the gods of the universe were trapped in the Tower, Oceanus had definitely been trapped along with them, but according to Athena, Oceanus had never appeared in Olympus even after that. No one knew if Oceanus had been destroyed after going through misfortune events or if he had left the heavenly world to live normally as a mortal. He was shrouded in mystery.

But that was back in reality, and Yeon-woo didn'™t forget that he was currently in Kronos'™ legends and was acting as a young Kronos.

[11:45:23_30]

Even now, the clock was ticking.

'œIt was frustrating to stay inside,' Yeon-woo answered with something Kronos would say, and Oceanus sighed heavily before laughing wryly.

'œHa! Please, don'™t do that. If you cause trouble here, it won'™t be you who'™s scolded by Father, but the people around you.' Oceanus spoke like a benevolent older brother rebuking his troublesome youngest sibling.

Yeon-woo paid no mind to it. 'œFather?'

'œI see even a troublemaker like you is afraid of Father. I guess it'™s understandable, since he said this time he'™ll crush your legs if you'¦!'

'œWhere is Father? There'™s something I want to tell him.'

'œYou'¦'

'œI'™m in a hurry.' Yeon-woo cut Oceanus off mid-sentence.

Oceanus'™ expression turned solemn. 'œYou know Father doesn'™t have time to deal with you'¦ I mean, us. With the '˜night'™ running rampant right now, Father and the elders are very irritable right now.'

Night seemed to be how they referred to darkness. Now, Yeon-woo wondered if Uranus was irritable because he was fighting that thing. Still, he said, 'œI still have to go.'

'œ'¦haa! Fine.' Oceanus sighed again, as if there was nothing he could do to persuade Yeon-woo, and smiled tiredly. His youngest sibling had never listened to him. Since he could never know what Kronos was thinking, he just shrugged it over as another one of those cases. However, he felt like he'™d also be beaten up because Uranus was already sensitive enough, so he planned to leave in the middle.

[11:29:42_90]

With Oceanus'™ help, Yeon-woo reached the center of the large military base.

'œSo you don'™t have any complaints if you die here?'

'œUranus! Please! Please listen to us?'

'œWhy is it only us who has to deal with the '˜night?'™ I don'™t understand!'

'œHe'™s right! The other societies, demons, and dragons are just watching on'¦!'

'œMy ears hurt. Okay. Are you done speaking your last words now?'

'œUranus!'

'œPlease!'

Splash! Uranus, with his long white hair flying in the wind, instantly slashed the throats of the pleading captives in front of him. Their blood spurted, and heads with horrified expressions rolled on the ground.

'œTsk! The blood got onto my shoes. I forgot to change into another pair. I really liked these. Should I order another one?' Even after accomplishing such a grotesque feat, Uranus didn'™t bat an eyelid. He was more concerned about his leather shoes.

'˜He'™s as gruff as I expected. So that'™s my grandfather.'™ Yeon-woo remembered how Uranus punched Kronos mercilessly in the past and shook his head. His father'™s temper was definitely inherited from his grandfather. '˜I'™m the only one who'™s normal in this household, geez. I need to keep everyone in check.'™

Shanon would'™ve had a disgusted face if he heard what Yeon-woo was thinking as he approached Uranus.

Oceanus had already left, saying he was busy after dropping Yeon-woo off.

'œWhat is it? I'™m sure I told you not to leave the tent until things are finished.' Uranus frowned when he saw Yeon-woo. He acted as if he'™d fillet Yeon-woo if he said he came out because he was curious.

'˜This place is'¦'™

Fortunately, there was something Kronos told Yeon-woo to say during instances like this. Please allow me to learn'¦

'œPlease allow me to learn Pneuma's Sky.'

'œ'¦What?' Uranus widened his eyes with a stiff expression, as if he heard something he hadn'™t expected.

Pneuma's Sky? What'™s that?

I don'™t know.

What'¦?

I don'™t know either.

A flashback of Yeon-woo'™s conversation with Kronos ran through his head. He remembered Kronos'™ uncaring expression.

It'™s something your grandfather told me when I was learning about holy power and domains after he retired. He said this would be the 'œspell' if I or any of my descendants needed to meet his shadow. He said he'™d listen to whatever request with these words.

'œYou, how did you'¦' Uranus'™ gaze wavered. The gods and elders near him looked panicked.

'œWhy is it, your majesty?'

'œHas your youngest son caused trouble again?'

'œKronos! What have you done this time for Lord Uranus to be like this?'

'œI thought things would go quietly this time'¦'

A few even growled at Yeon-woo, but Yeon-woo didn'™t have the time to care about them.

[11:27:56_76]

[11:27:56_75]

Time was still ticking.

'œPlease help me. I have no time.' Although Yeon-woo didn'™t know what Pneuma'™s Sky was, since it was something required to restore the spring of time, it could take a long time.

Uranus composed himself after reading Yeon-woo'™s serious eyes and spoke to the elders around him. 'œEveryone leave.'

'œBut'¦!'

'œPlease.' Only then did the elders leave the two alone. Then, Uranus spoke with piercing eyes and a frigid voice. 'œWho are you?'
