'How can we defeat Chronos? As far as I know, he can heal himself from even the most dangerous of attacks by reversing time for his body.'

[ Yeah but he isn't completely invincible. I have defeated him numerous times while having my powers restricted at his level. We just have to deal a one shot hit to his heart or mind and he will disappear. ] Hestia explained.

With the plan set in mind, both of them launched towards Chronos, who was currently roaming around in the garden.

Hestia had also prepared one of her strongest attacks to fight the time mage. However, she knew that her attack would cause Jason to suffer a bit.

[ I am going to be using a lot of energy to release an attack from your right arm. You won't be able to use your arm for the next two to three days once I have used this attack. Are you ok with it? ]

'Just defeat Chronos. I want to enter the temple and hit May's father in the head with a stone.'

[ That would be kind of ironic considering he is also called the stone monkey. ] Hestia chuckled a bit before going serious.

Both of them locked their eyes at Chronos who was hovering above the garden with a grim expression.

All the injuries dealt to his body had already been healed. However, they had taken their toll on him as black spots could be seen under his eyes.

His skin had also turned pale, and his eyes appeared sunken. The moment he saw Jason approaching, Chronos realized that something was about to go wrong.

'He is still combined with her. It's useless if I try to fight her head on..' Chronos thought before flying away.

His eyes suddenly started glowing as a vision appeared inside his mind. One of his strongest abilities was 'Future Gaze', which as the name suggested, allowed him to peek into the future.

This ability had many restrictions. He could only predict what would happen in the next five seconds since many factors could change the outcome after that.

But in high level fights, even five seconds would provide a big advantage over the opponents.

"Wait, why is a foot implanted on my face?" Chronos blinked in surprise.

"Its because that's what I have been planning to do ever since you put me inside this stupid place!" Jason shouted before stomping on Chronos's face.

The time mage immediately crashed towards the ground, managing to avoid any injury by slowing time as the last second.

'I am not going to let them win that easily.' Chronos licked a few drops of golden-reddish blood of his lips before outstretching his hands.

Magic circles encircled both of his arms before expanding over the surroundings. Since Jason was still using Sancus's divinity, Chronos couldn't directly manipulate time to attack him.

He could still change a few things in the surroundings to indirectly affect Jason and gain an advantage over him.

'What the..'

Jason's eyes widened when he saw cracks appearing all around the domain. He soon realized that the surroundings were returning to their former state when they hadn't formed.

The uneven terrain didn't bother him since he could still use his thunder element and Hestia's powers to fly above the ground.

Chronos on the other hand started controlling all the lava that had just oozed out and had swallowed the land.

He made dragons from the lava, making ten of them emerge right in front of him.

Hestia didn't even bat an eye as she summoned twenty dragons twice the size of Chronos's creation.

The time mage gritted his teeth and started creating even more magic circles.

[ Its useless to reinforce them. I may not be able to mimic that power but I will always win due to larger quantity and better quality. ] Hestia reminded.

She launched all the dragons forward before summoning birds made out of flames. Like arrows shot from a bow, all of them headed towards Chronos in a synchronized pattern.

Chronos immediately abandoned the skill he was about to use and tried dodging the attacks.

A few attacks still hit him, tearing one of his arms off his body. Chronos, however, regenerated his arm in a few seconds and took a deep breath.

"Oh father of the Olympians, I, Chronos, asks for your help in needy time. Lend me the ability to manipulate the waves of time and defeat my opponent. Lend me your strength, lord Kronos!" Chronos chanted.

[ He is at it again. Always using that move as a last resort. ] Hestia sighed.

She couldn't tell the number of times she had to face the same move when fighting against Chronos.

"Shattered Sea of Time!" Chronos shouted.

All of a sudden, every single thing in the domain stopped moving.

All objects and living beings were frozen on their spots and were slowly reverting to their original state, with the exception of Jason.

Though his movement speed had drastically been reduced by seventy five percent, he was still able to move freely.

[ You underestimated Sancus's divinity. He grew a lot stronger over the years after racking up many followers and obtaining control over every single oath and contract undertaken in many worlds. ] Hestia snorted.

Chronos had a baffled expression on his face. He had expected the spell to completely stop Jason despite the effects of his divinity.

He had reached this conclusion by thinking about the power of the Sancus he knew in the past.

'Ha, I am done for..' Chronos sighed as he felt most of his strength leaving his body.

Hestia used this moment to teleport right in front of Chronos and touching his forehead with Jason's right index finger.

[ Another loss for you. ]

A banging sound echoed around the domain as Chronos's body burst into numerous particles of light.

Jason clenched his teeth in pain as he felt his entire right arm going numb. Hestia had told him the truth when she had said that the attack would hurt and numb his arm.

[ At least we won. Look, the domain is disappearing. ]

The system was correct as the sky was slowly cracking apart. Jason immediately made his way back to May, turning his divinity off and breaking off his special state with Hestia simultaneously.

His body was overcome with fatigue but with the help of his light element, Jason kept himself going.

Once he reached May's side, he saw that the entire sky had vanished and the surroundings were changing as well.

In the distance, he saw a state. A tall golden statue of a handsome monkey holding a long staff..
