ATLAS

"What the.. I was right, Tom is the God of fire" James said in surprise because he found himself in his dimension space standing right in front of Tom.

"What is that" James said with shock as he noticed a phoenix mark on his forehead.

As he tried to get closer, he suddenly felt a huge wave of heat envelope him which threw him out of the dimension.

"It seems that something big is about to happen" James said as he could still feel the pain from the heat that had come from Tom.

"Where did you see him, is he still alive" The consciousness asked James quickly as he saw his reaction after touching the crystal.

"I didn't see him anywhere, all I saw was darkness, maybe he is dead" James lied because he didn't trust him and he thought his behavior was suspicious.

"Really, then why did your expression change when you touched it" The consciousness asked suspiciously.

"Why are you so bent on knowing what I saw, why don't you do it yourself" James said to the consciousness with a frown.

"I am sorry, you are the only one who can use the crystals because it was made from your intent, since you are done, I will now take you to your inheritance" The consciousness said to James after sending his suspicion.

After saying that, he waved his hand and a door appeared which he stepped through and James also followed him. They appeared in another room which had the same crystals as the other room and in the middle of the room, there was a statue of the God of lightening holding an orb which radiated a terrifying intent of lightening.

"Such strong lightening intent" James said with amazement as he walked towards the orb.

"You just have to take it off the statue and it will merge with you" The consciousness said to James with a grin which James didn't see.

As James walked towards the orb, he felt the intent of lightening becoming stronger and just from feeling it, he felt his comphrension of lightening become more condensed but as he was as about to take it, he suddenly heard the systems urgent voice.

[DONT, ITS A TRAP]

As he heard the system's urgent voice, his hand paused only a few inches from the orb. He suddenly felt a huge sense of danger that made his heart skip a beat from behind and as he turned, he saw a huge lightening ball only a few inches from his face but as it was about to hit him, everything stopped like time had frozen.

5 minutes earlier, 4 figures could be seen gathered in a huge hall with the same crystals on the wall, each of their appearance look like the ones described in legends.

They all had serious expression on their faces but their serious expression couldn't conceal the excitement they felt.

"You all saw him right?" The God of war asked the others with his hammer in front of him.

"Yes we did, it seems like the demons and titans also know that he has awakened because I have been observing their behaviours and it seems like he has already started killing some of the demon lieutenants on earth" The God of death said with a smile as a terrible intent of death surrounded him.

"Have any of you heard anything about senior brother?" The God of space asked them with concern.

"Sadly no but we can't give up, what about you chronos, have you found anything?" The God of space asked the God of time who floated in the air while sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

"We have to prepare, a war is coming" The GOD of time said to them with his eyes closed.

"A war is always coming, what makes this one any different from the rest?" The God of war asked the God of time.

"This war is different, this war will decide who wins, the Gods or the Titans and two people will play a huge role in this, master and senior brother" The God of time replied with a grin expression.

"So he is alive, that's good to know" The God of space asked the God of time with a relieved expression.

A pained expression suddenly appeared on the God of time's face as golden blood trickled down his mouth.

"Are you okay brother, what's wrong?" The God of war asked with concern after seeing the blood.

"I am fine, it seems that master is even more powerful than before, whenever I try to see his future, a strange power suddenly blocks me" The God of time replied as more blood trickled down his mouth.

"If the pressure becomes too much for you then you stop" The God of death said to him with concern.

He continued to try and at one point in time, a fearful expression covered his face as he coughed out blood and opened his eyes which were filled with fear.

"What did you see brother?" The God of space asked as they moved towards him.

"The demons.. they.. I need to rest" The God of time said as he sat on the ground and closed his eyes again which surprised the others because he hadn't done this before but they didn't pursue the matter because they knew the effect reading someone's future had on him so they went back to their discussion while the God of time recuperated.

"So what is our next action since master has awakened" The God of war asked the others with a serious expression.

"We need to gather the others and start preparing for the upcoming war" The God of space replied with a grin expression.

"Since the demons have already realized that master has awakened, it is very likely that they will start mobilizing their forces on earth to find him so we need to inform him of their actions but how, what do you think brother..this skill again" The God of death said then turned to the God of time and asked but was shocked to find him covered in a warm white glow of light.

"It seems that he has already started contacting master but the energy used for this skill could cause serious damage, we have to help him" The God of war said then pointed his hands forward and brown light appeared from them which he directed towards the God of time and the others also did the same.

At the same moment, James turned his head and was met with a lightening ball rushing towards him quickly and at this time it was as only a few inches away from him and he couldn't teleport even if he wanted to so he just stood there thinking if this was the end for him but then suddenly time just froze.

"What the hell... " James said with shock as he stared at it then he remembered his calm mind skill but then he also remembered that he had to be calm before it could work but he knew that he was anything but calm right now, his heart almost stopped beating from fear.

"System did you do this?" James asked in amazement.

[NO, HE DID]

It was only now that James caught sight of the silver blur that was condensing itself at a corner of the room.

"Hello master, nice to see you again, it's been a long time" The figure said as the silver glow vanished to reveal a human shaped figure who approached James with a smile.

"You.. how..you are the God of time" James said with shock as he recognized the figure approaching him and it all made sense, he was the only one who could freeze time like this.

"Yes it's me, the God of time or Cronos" The God of time said.

"Are you here physically or.. " James asked as he noticed that he looked like a hologram.

"No this is my astral form, I am able to talk to you here through one of my abilities as the God of time" The God of time said to James as he also inspected him and the consciousness behind him with a curious look.

"Thank for saving my life, I am sure that that ball of lightening would have killed me instantly if I was hit" James expressed his gratitude when he saw him staring at the consciousness.

"You are welcome, I came here to warn you of an impending threat, your old enemy is about to awaken, you know who I am talking about right?" The GID of time said with a grin expression as he returned his attention to James.

"Who are you.. wait, it can't be him right?, I killer him, unless..., if its him then I am in danger" James exclaimed as a thought suddenly appeared in his heard.

"Yes, I saw him myself, I saw Atlas" The God of time said to James with unconcealed fear.

In a huge dark palace filled with darkness and despair, a humongous figure who looked like a mountain could be seen slumbering and around him were countless demons who stood still and waited for his every command and occasionally they would mutter something.

"The great Titan Atlas will rise again and rule the world" The demons muttered silently.
