Chapter 876: Descend!


Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

...

Different from the heroes in most of the mythological stories, Kratos wasn't an orthodox hero; his behavior showed the mercilessness and indifference towards these Olympian gods.

Once a leader of an army of Spartans, who were famous for their strength and bravery, Kratos was courageous and vicious.

Defeated in a battle, he begged for help from Ares, the God of War. He received Ares' help and defeated his enemies at the price of servitude under Ares by signing a covenant. Killing countless humans and gods, he became Ares's puppet and killing machine, a powerful warrior who was serving the gods.

After that, he killed countless gods and humans. To make him into a perfect warrior, Ares set up a trap and made him kill his own wife and daughter.

With the ashes of his wife and daughter covering his body, causing Kratos's skin to become pale grey, he was cursed with constant nightmares, reliving the scenes of that day. This curse made him into an even more cold-blooded warrior who lived only for battles and revenge.

...

The Hydra ran havoc in the cities close to the shore as the monsters from the Underworld butchered humans at will.

Gods said... they would send a warrior to rescue them?

No, the gods were only annoyed by the disturbances of the troublesome fierce beasts in their back garden, so they sent a qualified warrior to clear them. As for rescuing the mortals? It wasn't their concern.

Kratos, trained by Ares, the God of War, wouldn't show any mercy to them.

It was why all kinds of human soldiers died in the hand of the monsters when Kratos killed the Hydra.

God of War depicted a world under the gods' rule. It looked orderly on the surface but was in fact chaotic and gloomy.

...

Therefore, it was natural that someone would try to drag these gods off their shrine.

The deaths of his wife and daughter woke up Kratos, and he decided to seek revenge by slaying the gods. Meanwhile, he hoped that this would compensate for the crimes that he had committed and get rid of the endless curse and nightmares which haunted him for countless days and nights.

He asked Athena and the other gods for help, which led to the scene before them.

After killing the Hydra, the storm on the ocean turned even more violent. Rain poured down like a waterfall!

"I have faithfully served the gods for ten years. When will you relieve me of these nightmares?"

"We request one final task of you, Kratos." On the gloomy ocean, the statue of Athena looked solemn and grand. "As we speak, Athens is on the verge of destruction. It is the will of Ares, my great city falls, but Zeus has forbidden the gods from waging war on each other."

"Complete this final task, and the past that consumes you will be forgiven. Have faith Kratos, the gods do not forget those who come to their aid."

This was Kratos's new task: slaying a god.

He must kill Ares, the God of War who schemed to overthrow Zeus's ruling and was attacking Athens.

The storm lessened, and dark clouds gradually dispersed in the sky above the vast ocean, revealing a full moon that looked like a silver plate.
