Chapter 477 - 477

"Wait—"

Natasha was stunned. She instinctively reached out to stop him, only to see the man rush to the bar's entrance and then

soar

into the sky.

...

—Meanwhile, in the Sky—

As Hercules flew, he reflected on his past fifteen days on Earth.

Honestly, he had grown

quite

fond of the planet. Once this business was finished, he was seriously considering staying here long-term.

And during these past days, one person, in particular, had caught his attention—

White Cloak!

He had seen the footage of White Cloak's

assault

on the research facility and had been

shocked

.

After some investigation, he learned that White Cloak was once considered Messiah's equal—until Messiah awakened as an

Ultra-Omega Mutant

and surpassed him.

"Reality-warping abilities, huh?"

Hercules pondered.

"If Zeus knew about White Cloak, he'd probably invite him too."

Though not as powerful as Messiah, his

impossible

abilities were more than enough to warrant interest.

With that thought, Hercules retrieved his enchanted

seeker's compass

and began searching for Messiah.

Soon, he arrived at the designated meeting spot.

Seeing the black-clad youth standing there, Hercules grinned. "Long time no see, Messiah."

Syd gave a slight nod. "Let's go."

At that, Hercules pulled out Zeus's artifact—a golden lightning bolt.

"Grab my hand," he said. "I'll use this artifact to take us—"

Syd, however, knew that this artifact could also

teleport

, as shown in

Thor: Love and Thunder

.

Though not as renowned or versatile as Asgard's Bifrost, it

worked

.

But instead of responding, Syd simply closed his eyes, picturing

Omniscient City

in his mind.

Then, with a flick of his fingers, he activated

spatial translocation

combined with a

portal spell

.

With a clear image of the destination, a glowing portal materialized before them—leading directly to

Omniscient City

.

"...What?"

Hercules, still holding his golden lightning bolt, froze.

Before he could react, Syd stepped inside. Hercules quickly followed.

...

—Inside Omniscient City—

Hercules was

stunned

. "This is... Omniscient City?"

He turned to Messiah, his face full of disbelief.

"How does Messiah know the exact location of Omniscient City?"

"And how in the world did he open a portal that spans such an immense distance?"

Hercules couldn't comprehend it.

Meanwhile, Syd calmly strode through the city's corridors, taking in his surroundings.

...

—Observing Omniscient City—

Clouds surrounded the vast cityscape, and beyond them lay an

endless

starry expanse.

It was clear—Omniscient City

floated in space

.

Above them, a

colossal sun

hung in the sky, endlessly radiating sunlight over the entire city.

This meant one thing—

There was no night here. It was eternally

daylight

.

Even now, Syd could feel his body

absorbing

the sunlight.

While doing so, he continued to survey the environment.

Omniscient City resembled a

floating garden

, filled with fountains, waterfalls, exquisite flora, and majestic palaces.

Occasionally, he spotted figures walking by—likely

divine attendants

.

"Welcome to Omniscient City," Hercules said with a grin. "Not bad, right?"

"Come on, I'll take you to the

Golden Temple

—that's where all the gods are gathered."

With that, he led the way.

Soon, they arrived at the

Golden Temple's

entrance.

Outside the temple stood a

massive golden statue

—a depiction of Zeus, wielding his legendary lightning bolt.

Upon entering, Syd noticed the

expansive hallways

filled with

brawny guards

.

Seated in the vast chamber were

numerous gods

.

"This is the

Golden Temple

," Hercules explained. "It's the gathering place for gods from across the universe."

"Look over there."

He pointed to a distant table. "That's the

God of Magic

. And over there—that's... uh... the

God of Dumplings

."

Syd followed his gaze and saw a small white dumpling... sitting on a giant

spoon

.

Scanning the chamber, he identified several gods—some unfamiliar, some vaguely recognizable, such as deities from the

Egyptian pantheon

.

Hercules led him to a seating area.

As soon as they sat down, a young man wearing winged sandals approached.

"You're Messiah?"

It was Hermes—one of the Twelve Olympians.

"Messiah, I've heard that your power rivals that of the Celestials?" Hermes asked in awe.

"How did you manage that? Those are the

Celestials

! You actually

drove them back

?!"

His face was full of shock, as if he could hardly believe it.

At his words, the other gods—who had initially ignored Syd—suddenly turned their attention toward him.

In mere moments, they

recognized

the black-clad figure before them.

The one who had

repelled the Celestials

in Earth's orbit.

Instantly, the hall fell

silent

.

The gazes fixed on him were now filled with

reverence

and

awe

.

...

—At That Moment...—

A large cluster of white clouds floated down from above.

Hercules's

golden lightning bolt

soared into the clouds, triggering a cascade of

golden lightning

.

The next second, a man emerged—wielding a

golden lightning bolt

, clad in

golden battle armor

, with a

head full of curly hair

.

—Zeus!—

As the

king of gods

descended, the seated deities erupted in chants of his name.

Yet, as Syd

stared

at the portly, middle-aged man before him, he... had to suppress a

twitch in his eye

.

"This... is Zeus?"

Frankly, he looked

more

like a retired old man than a

king of the gods

.

This was, without a doubt, the

worst

depiction of Zeus Syd had

ever

seen.

...

—On the Elevated Throne—

Listening to the chants of his name, Zeus

smirked

in satisfaction.

After

flourishing

his golden lightning bolt for a moment, he cleared his throat.

"I hereby convene..."

"The sacred assembly of gods!"

"We have many serious topics to discuss, such as..."

Just as the gods prepared for a

solemn discussion

, Zeus suddenly

switched tones

.

"...where this year's

giant orgy

will be held."

Syd's eye

twitched again

.

...

—Meanwhile...—

As Zeus rambled on, Syd overheard some gods conversing in the distance.

"Have you heard? Asgard was recently

attacked

, and something was stolen."

"Asgard? You mean that place that

never

sends anyone to these gatherings?"

"What was taken?"

"Some kind of

axe

..."

Hearing this, Syd's brow immediately furrowed.

"Stormbreaker?"

The weapon capable of unleashing

Bifrost energy

?

Instantly, Syd's focus sharpened.
