I Am Zeus-Chapter 33: Fighting Typhon

Battle of Gods — Olympus vs Chaos

A crack split the skies.

The air turned heavy, as if the world itself was holding its breath. From above, Zeus came down in a streak of raw lightning—his body burning blue and white, fists clenched, cloak tearing behind him like a banner made of storms.

Below him, Typhon moved.

The monster of monsters.

His body towered beyond mountains. Coiled legs like serpents writhed under him, crushing forests and entire valleys with each shift. A hundred heads slithered from his shoulders, each hissing a different curse. Wings wide enough to darken nations unfolded as he raised his burning arms to the heavens.

"ZEUS!" Typhon roared, his voice shaking clouds into ash.

Zeus didn’t respond with words.

He landed.

The ground cracked open beneath his feet. A thunderclap followed a second later—loud enough to rupture the sky.

His eyes locked with Typhon’s. Lightning danced along his arms, arching into the heavens above him. The ground beneath him trembled. The air sparked.

[Lightning Flicker – Lv. 6]

Electricity bled from his every step. With one stride, he vanished—reappearing above Typhon’s left shoulder, his body spinning midair like a divine spear.

SMASH!

He slammed a bolt-charged fist into one of the serpent heads. It exploded in a burst of light and blood. A roar followed—angrier, deeper.

[Thunder Shout – Lv. 5]

Zeus clapped both hands forward. The air warped—and then detonated. A wall of pure thunder tore through Typhon’s chest, blasting him backward and knocking over several mountains behind him like dominoes.

But Typhon wasn’t done.

He snapped back up, roaring as more heads grew from the ruined stump, even more furious. His claws slashed across the air. Flames, darkness, acid, and wind came together in one attack.

BOOM!

Zeus blurred away.

[Aether Step – Lv. 3]

He vanished in a blink, teleporting through a lightning vein in the sky—and then reappearing right at Typhon’s neck.

"Fall."

[Smite – Lv. 4]

From the clouds above, divine plasma streaked down like judgment.

Five bolts.

Then ten.

Then twenty.

Each impact carved craters across Typhon’s body, burning scales, tearing limbs, turning entire heads into smoking meat.

But Typhon didn’t scream.

He laughed.

Then moved.

Faster than something that big should. One of his serpent tails whipped out—catching Zeus mid-air.

CRACK!

The impact sent Zeus flying. He smashed through three ridges, bounced across a frozen lake, and crashed into a cliff wall.

Blood trickled from his lips.

His breathing was rough.

The divine aura around him flickered for a moment.

Then—

[SYSTEM UPGRADE – IN BATTLE GROWTH TRIGGERED]

Lightning Flicker – Lv. 7 (Ascended)

Passive discharge now shreds divine shields. Movement speed has doubled. Reflexes elevated to light-level bursts.

Zeus stood up. Lightning exploded outward from his body in every direction. The cliff behind him shattered into dust.

He raised his arms to the sky.

"You want war?" he shouted.

The sky answered.

[Stormcaller’s Wrath – Lv. 2 → Lv. 4]

A vortex formed high above. A divine hurricane spiraled into existence, fueled by Olympus’s raw power. Thunder, ice, wind, fire—every element surged inside the storm, reacting to Typhon’s many weaknesses.

Zeus held out his hands.

The gauntlets on his arms—Skybreaker Gauntlets—glowed brighter than the sun.

He slammed both fists together.

The storm fell.

A massive beam of destruction slammed into Typhon, pushing him back. He roared as his wings caught fire. His arms melted. His flesh boiled and cracked. He reached out—

And grabbed the storm.

Typhon’s arms flexed. He absorbed the energy. His mouths opened, vomiting fire and darkness back into the sky.

"YOU THINK LIGHTNING CAN DESTROY CHAOS?" he bellowed.

Then he punched the ground.

KA-BOOM!

A shockwave split the earth. A wave of molten chaos spread like a plague, tearing forests and mountains apart as it rushed toward Zeus.

Zeus grit his teeth. Blood dripped from his side. His vision blurred. But he didn’t fall.

Instead—

[Divine Presence: Storm Crown – Lv. 1 → Lv. 3]

Aura field now disrupts lesser divine magic. Causes instability in monsters born from Primordial Chaos.

He stepped forward, walking straight into the oncoming wave.

The moment it touched him, it broke.

The aura around him grew wider. His eyes now glowed so brightly, they left trails as he moved.

[Aether Step – Lv. 3 → Lv. 5]

Can now chain blinks. Can punch through enemy space with coordinated strikes.

Zeus vanished again.

Then appeared above Typhon’s heart—if the beast even had one.

"FOR OLYMPUS!" he shouted.

A spear of divine lightning—five times longer than before—formed in his hands.

He plunged it downward.

BOOM!

The explosion sent both of them crashing into the crust of the earth. A crater the size of a valley opened, swallowing lakes and forests around it.

Zeus coughed violently. One of his ribs cracked. His shoulder was dislocated. Typhon rose from the crater, wounded—but not dead.

He raised a hand—then slammed Zeus into the ground with a gravity crush.

Zeus hit the stone hard.

He didn’t get up.

Blood spread beneath him.

Typhon loomed over him. His shadow covered all.

"I WIN," the beast declared.

But—

The sky rumbled again.

Zeus’s hand twitched.

His body sparked.

[Smite – Lv. 4 → Lv. 6 (Divine Tier)]

The storm above exploded.

A single, golden bolt fell.

It hit Zeus’s chest—on purpose.

And Zeus rose.

Eyes burning gold.

Hair now flaring like fire.

His injuries sealed. His body thrummed with divine overload.

"Not yet," he whispered.

He flew.

His body streaked into Typhon’s chin with enough force to lift the beast into the sky. Then he blinked again—

Aether Step.

Lightning Flicker.

Thunder Shout.

Smite.

A combo of god-tier techniques.

He ripped across Typhon’s body in ten places at once—each strike tearing skin, bone, chaos-energy apart. Typhon tried to scream—but Zeus punched him in the throat, cutting it off.

Then—

One final move.

[Stormcaller’s Wrath – Lv. 4 → Lv. 6 (Heavenfall Mode)]

He called everything.

All the storm.

All the sky.

A god-bomb wrapped in clouds and judgment.

He hurled it down.

Typhon raised his arms.

"NO—!"

BOOM.

The world went white.

When the smoke cleared, the crater was miles wide.

Typhon lay there—half-buried, body broken, blood pouring like rivers.

Zeus floated above.

Burning.

Breathing.

Alive.

But barely.

He descended slowly, landing beside the monster.

And said:

"When I said I’d throw what’s left of you back into Tartarus... I meant it."
