I'm The Devil

Chapter 55: Titanomachy 3 : Father vs Sons



After the defeat of Erebus, Hades rained devastating attacks on the lesser gods which led to the dwindling of their numbers.

The Hekatonkheires and the Cyclopes, threw rocks at the Titans and their forces causing confusion in their ranks giving the Olympians armies a fighting chance despite being outnumbered.

Chronos watched all of these from the sidelines and was not very happy about it.

Everything he planned for this day was all for nothing as he was being outsmarted by his own children, he couldn’t take it, he can’t let them make a mockery of him.

He turned to look at one of the Titans beside him "you are the Titan of strength and endurance, now put that strength into good use and change the tide of the battle for me, boy" he said to him.

The titan bowed and jumped from the ground propelling himself into the midst of the Daemons crushing them with his feet.

"Feel The Might Of Atlas" he roared into the sky as he destroyed every Daemon he laid his hands on as if they were a piece of paper.

"Look who decided to join the party"

"Our bastard brother, Atlas"

"What do you say brother, should we roughen him a little before we get to father?"

"If you mean, beating him to a pulp, then I’m in"

Atlas saw two Titans just like him arrive in front as they looked at him with a menacing smile.

They are Prometheus and Epimetheus, the two sons of Themis and the Titaness who hated him the most because of his father having an affair with his mother and him being the result of their one night stand.

"Are you here on the orders of your mother to get rid of me" said Atlas as he squashed a Daemon by the head.

Prometheus laughed when he said that "what makes you think my mother would even have the time to think about a bastard like you when there are many things she could do with that time. We are just here to have some brothers bonding time, isn’t that right, Epimetheus?" he said.

"Of course brother, we miss our little brother and would like to spend some time with you but o guess that’s not going to happen if you don’t trust us" said Epimetheus smiling at Atlas.

Atlas couldn’t contain his anger anymore after being played by his two hateful half brothers repeatedly "let’s stop this stupid charade and fight" he said balling his fist and glared at them.

Prometheus smirked as he saw that they have gotten under his skin "with pleasure" he said as flames burst out of his hands.

Epimetheus brought out his sword and grinned at Atlas who was burning in anger "let see how thick that skin of yours is when I cut into it" he said.

But before the the three brothers could clash, someone appeared in their midst "you would seize this nonsense now" said the man.

The three brothers looked at the newcomer who turned out to be their father, Iapetus "how kind if you join in the fray, father, saved us the time to go look for you ourselves" said Prometheus as he readied the chains given to them by Gaia.

Iapetus sighed as he knew that these two children bore to him by Themis are very hard to control "Atlas, leave, this is not your fight, I will handle them, go ahead and do what the God king asks of you" he said as he was ready to beat some sense into his children and maybe ask Chronos to lessen their punishment after this is all over.

"Sending away your bastard son, father? Don’t die out there, we still have some unfinished business to handle, bastard Brother" said Epimetheus as he waved bye bye to Atlas who ignored him.

"The both of you have chosen to side with the rebels and the wrong side, but you can all find redemption if you go to the god king now and tell him everything you know about the rebels and how we can be able to get rid of them, then maybe he will show you mercy" said Iapetus trying to speak sense into his two children.

Prometheus and Epimetheus looked at each other and acted as if they were considering his words only to burst out laughing the next second "you are truly funny father, can’t you look around you? You are the one who should come over to our side not that it would even matter.

The god king walked into a losing battle from the very beginning, the winner has already been decided the moment he was born and all of these is just a formality, after this war, Zeus will be the new ruler of the Greco Realm and he will bring about a new age, so don’t try to make us change sides cause we won’t do the same to you" Prometheus said as he threw the chains at Iapetus who was in dazed after digesting what Prometheus said.

Feeling the chains on him, he quickly came out of his daze and broke free from them and lunged at his two sons "even if the winner has been decided by you, the same cannot be said for us as there is only one King, and that’s Chronos and he will remain so for as long as the Titans breath" he said while landing a clean hit on Prometheus and kneeing Epimetheus.

"Even if I have to beat some sense into you, then I will gladly do so as your father" said Iapetus as he held Epimetheus who was close to him and punched him repeatedly until his hands were held by Prometheus.

"I don’t care whatever you say, but if you join to support a child eating bastard as the god king, then Epimetheus and I will have to treat you like the enemy and not our father, so please as long as this war continues, you are not our father" Said Prometheus whose eyes was burning with a first fire and his hands were on fire burning Iapetus hands.

Epimetheus punched his father on his stomach sending him flying upward.

Epimetheus stood up and stood beside Prometheus with his sword out "oh, he forgot to much something, mother said we should send our regards to you" said Epimetheus as he and Prometheus engaged their father in battle.
