Chapter 443: Titans
[Abyssal Dungeon.]
Michael took purposeful steps in the dark tunnel, transversing the countless passages, followed by his three lords, Drakon and Destroyers.
After ten minutes of walking he finally came to a stop, staring at the black door in front of him, chained with large unbreakable chains.
"The Titans are behind this door."
Michael looked at the door lost in thought:
'Titans are a lot bigger than giants, so how can a mere door hold them back?'
"Ruler, you're the only one that can open the door, but if the titans are ever let out, the world will be destroyed." Ashyn said.
Michael nodded: "How long have they been sealed in here?"
"More than 100 million years." Havoc answered.
Michael exhaled, and placed his hand on the door, instantly, the chains disappeared, and the door automatically opened, revealing nothing but a red glow.
"Wait for me."
The group nodded, and Michael entered.
BAM!
The door closed shut.
"What should we do, Wait?" Yers asked.
"That's our only option." Drakon answered.

[Titans' Prison.]
Whizzed.
Michael appeared in a pocket dimension, and moved his gaze around the beautiful green field.
"Huh?"
He was stunned by his surroundings.
THUD!! THUD!!
Hearing the loud footsteps, Michael turned his head to the side, seeing a huge humanoid figure, standing 500 feet tall, staring at him.
"What do we have here?"
The Lady asked.
Michael tilted his head to the side, and ascends into the air, stopping in front of her beautiful face... He looked at her white dress, then raised his head to her face.
"You are?" He asked.
"Oh! My name is Rhea, Mother of the gods."
"Mother of the gods? What do you Mean by that?"
"Young god, I'm the mother of Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Hestia, Demeter and Hera."
This revelation shocked Michael.
"I don't get, if you're their mother, why are you sealed here?" He asked.
Rhea chuckled, and walked past him:
"You think we're all trapped here?" She asked, walking towards a gigantic tree.
"That's what I'd been hearing." Michael turned around, staring at her.
Rhea took the most-biggest fruit Michael had seen, and took a bite; then turned to face him:
"You are here... That means you're crowned, so listened to this." She turned around to Michael.
"Millions of years ago, there was a battle. The biggest battle ever happened in the realms; the Titans against the Olympians, My children... We lost a lot of soldiers that day, including the gods... The blood goddess was killed, and so on. Well... I discovered the only way to stop this war was to seal one group."
"So you picked, your race?" Michael asked.
"My children are my blood... I just gave Zeus the tool, and he did it."
"Also sealing you?" Michael raised an eyebrow.
"Yes... We are the only ones holding those guys in this dimension."
"I'm confused... "Holding them in this dimension"?" Michael was dumbfounded.
"Take us as the first defense, if they past us... Your door will be next, then your world." She said, taking another bite.
"What do you mean by "US"?" He asked, looking around the place.
"The others are in the castle..." She finished the unknown fruit, and stared at Michael.
"You're not in the Abyss anymore, you're now in our prison... This here is our Territory, but the other side. You get my meaning."
Michael slowly nodded his head:
"So you're good, and they're not... Wait, how can I see these bad guys? I mean the Titans."
Rhea stared at him for ten seconds, and shook her head:
{Host's memories have been read.}
'UH?' Michael was stunned.
"You're strong, young god. But if you can't fight Typhon, you aren't ready to fight the Titans... They are a lot older and stronger than Typhon."
Michael narrowed his eyes: "Ok. But, Don't do that again."
"I was just checking... Don't worry, I won't enter your head again." She said, and started walking towards the castle some miles away.
"Can a Titan bleed?" Michael asked.
"Yes, we do bleed, but not blood."
"Then they can die."
Rhea looked at him over her shoulder, and smiled: "You're one stubborn one... You are not strong enough." She started walking again, Michael following behind her.
"I don't get something, there are trees everywhere... Why did you travel more than a mile to get a fruit?"
"The Titans are corrupting our trees, and vitality... What is happening out there?" She asked.
"Well... Typhon will be released any time from now." Michael answered, but his answer made Rhea stopped on track.
"Have you seen him?" She asked, turning around to Michael.
"Yes."
"You said he'll be released, then how did you see him?" She asked with raised brows.
"His soul manifestation."
"Soul manifestation? You didn't fight him right?" Now, Rhea was damn serious.
"I did, and also won... Is something wrong?" Michael asked, now confused.
"Yes..." Rhea took a deep breath: "Did you drew blood?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, did he injure you during the battle!"
"Yes." Michael nodded absentmindedly.
"I should have seen all this in your memories, but didn't... You need to get ready. All this while, Typhon is still sealed because there's only three people whose blood can unlock his prison... I don't know how or why your blood could do this, but with your blood... Typhon can be release, even if it's just a drop."
Now Michael was serious.
"You're still young and inexperience, Michael... That's why you made this mistake. But if you want to save your world, don't get killed by Typhon, and find anyway possible to meet the Supreme Queen."
She turned around, and started walking again.
"Don't get killed by Typhon? What the hell did that mean."
"It means don't get killed by Typhon... Anyone can kill you, but not Typhon."
She took a step, and disappeared.
Michael stopped on track: 'No one can kill me.'
He said, and yelled:
'System!! How the hell did she read my memories?!!'
{I hid some important memories.}

Michael sighed, and disappeared... He reappeared in front of the castle.
"I have been waiting for you?" Rhea stood in front of the gate, staring at Michael.
"..."
Michael observed the castle, and lowered his head to Rhea.
'How can she size in the castle?'
"Come on."
The gates opened, and Rhea walked inside, followed by Michael.
HOO!
Michael looked up seeing a gigantic owl flying above the castle.
"Is that?"
"Yes, Titan Coeus's Owl."
"Who's Titan Coeus?" Michael asked.
"An enemy."
"Then why don't we kill this owl?" Michael asked.
"We can't, Young god."
A man walked out from the castle, stopping them on the door... But the man was in a normal human size and height.
Shoosh!
Rhea reduced in height, and turned into a normal human.
"This?"
Michael descended from the sky; "So you could reduce your..."
"Yes." The man cut him off.
"Who are you?" Michael asked, landing on his feet.
"Astraeus."
He said, turned around, and walked inside, completing ignoring the owl.
"What's his deal?"
"Astraeus is the god of Titans, let's say the king... But even with his title, he still couldn't control those guys, that's why he's always in this mood, and... Forget that, come on, everyone is waiting."
Michael nodded: looked up at the owl. Sighed, and followed behind Rhea.
'I wanted to ask how they'll enter this castle, I should have known they could control their height.' he thought.

[The Other side.]
The Owl flew over lush green field, and entered a barren land, filled with nothing but death... A complete opposite to the lush green land.
The Owl flew towards a castle, moved to the highest tower and landed on a
Muscular man's arm.
****Oh? He's here?**** The man was stunned.
****Who's here?****
A man in an assassin outfit, landed behind the muscular man.
****Why are you everywhere?**** Coeus asked, turning around to face the young man.
****I'm the wind, what do you expect? Any news from the other side?****
****The young god Known as Michael is with Rhea. In the castle.****
****Michael? Don't know him.****
****Of course.... He's the Abyssal god, and our way ticket out of this forsaken place.**** Coeus said.
****I say we capture him.**** The man planned.
****Hmm... Lelantos, You haven't changed. If we capture him, what then?****
Lelantos was silent, he thought for five seconds, and opened his mouth, but Coeus stopped him before he could say anything.
****Don't bother, I'll take care of this... Don't do anything.****
He leaped off the tower, landing steadily on the ground.
Lelantos stared at Coeus as he walked away, and sighed:
****I'll have to take care of this.****
He disappeared from the tower.

[Throne Hall.]
Coeus walked towards the figure who sat on the throne. He stopped and greeted:
"King Lepetus."
Lepetus lowered his gaze to Coeus. He narrowed his eyes, and asked:
*****Is there an issue?*****
****The god of the Abyssal is in this dimension as we speak.****
The man grinned:
*****Good, just keep an eye on him, don't attack... This isn't the time to act, we must wait for Typhon's release.*****
Coeus nodded, and asked: ****Should we try to attack, again?****
*****No, leave them for now, With his appearance in this dimension, it means Typhon will be out soon. Very soon.*****
Coeus nodded, turned around and left the throne hall.
*****Michael, I have waited for millions of years, so waiting for some months won't make a difference.*****
