The Big Crunch is still researched upon by the scientists, as it is a symmetric view of the ultimate fate of the universe. Just as the Big Bang started a cosmological explosion, this theory alleges that the average density of the universe is enough to stop its expansion and begin contracting. The result is unknown; a simple estimation would have all the matter and space-time in the universe collapse into a dimensionless singularity.
The universe had begun to collapse and on seeing the collision between the stars, David finally claimed, “I am not to be admonished for this as I had only veiled the Scythe somewhere on the banks of a river, where shining blue water flows and it might be around, if estimated, near to that geyser of lava and that is why I wanted to confirm the melting temperature of it.”
“Oh you…. Do you know the result of it? You have given rehabilitation to Chronos and what the reason? You veiled it near the Styx! It is going to be more callous than….Do you ever realize,” articulated Zeus as he rebuked David and having lost the ability to plan, on knowing the consequence, sat on that particular speck with folded legs, and began to count the last seconds of his life.
“What will happen if Chronos gets rejuvenated?” asked David while he deemed the rejoinder of Zeus.
“Nothing; nothing more than the end of this universe! Chronos has lived and ruled until he wanted and now when he will wake up from that hibernation, he shall not spare any one of us. He will kill all of us starting from you, Poseidon, Hades and the future of humankind. I prefer you to just sit and wait for Chronos to maneuver his Scythe and butcher us. Everything will demolish, from Heaven to Underworld. Nothing will be left and the reason for it being, the greed of Hades and blunder of mine,” he gave a serene and humane response, having got to know that his future was going to perish and shall not exist much.
“So do we have any option or a way out of this? Is there any unseen benefit to this situation? If there is then tell me or let me ponder and take my own time,” said David while keeping his had above the shoulder of Zeus.
“Spare me! I said spare me. There is no choice and I do not have anything left with me instead of patience. Don’t test it and be quiet,” screamed Zeus, which remarked his extremely livid face and as he threw David’s hand, had to abide a useful response from him too.
“There is a way,” replied David tranquilly.
“Then go and leave me,” said Zeus while permitting him to execute and leave from that place and while staring at the outbursts of lava; “I’ve told you nothing can happen so please be calm and sit. Not for me but for your father.”
“You know where dad is? Please tell me.”
“What will you do if I tell you? He’s going to die too and there’s no reason for your communion at this moment.”
“Where is he? Can you tell me?”
“He’s in the future and exhuming Asphaldite.”
“But how is that possible?”
“Why not, I’m an immortal and have enough clout to make people travel in time.”
“Then send me to the future and spare my life.”
“No benefit to you or me. You will die worse in future. Your creators, I mean the couple who gave you birth might have died until yet and their souls might have perished too. Charon has died, Hades will shortly be, and where will their souls go after all. They will be ruined and converted into small bits of pieces, slightly similar to atoms.”
“Then what can we do?”
“Gaze and wait for Chronos.”
“No, we will not wait. We will do something until Chronos reaches us. There will surely be a way as dad always said nothing is impossible.”
David was determined but not being able to get an idea, was just hallucinating inept essentials. He was thinking and in an intellectual mind like him, it was conclusive for a perception to sprint but nothing could transpire as Chronos was in the route to convalescence and in a short moment of stint, could become immortal and have his reign over the dimension of neutrons and protons.
Precipitously, a well-furnished inkling dashed into his mind and he hastily asked Zeus, “Poseidon is the god of land, right?”, “Yes.”, “His Trident can shake the surface of Earth, right?”, “Yes.”, “He has the command the sea, right.”, “Then why can’t we stop it? Zeus I have a magnificent idea but I need your aid.”, “Now what do you want from me?”
“Will Poseidon listen to at you say? If so then we can stop this happen.”
“But how will you? How will you stop this?” asked Zeus in an encouraged tone.
“You just have to tell Poseidon to do what I say and Chronos will not be able to revitalize himself. Will you do it for me? If not for me, do it for the humanity.” Said David while stimulating Zeus and making him ready to follow his instructions.
“What do I have to do? I am doing this just because there’s no other option left. If we die in doing so, it would be well but if we didn’t do it and die, our lives would become unavailing,” replied Zeus as he insisted have his view over David’s plan.
They conferred for a long time and after having got each other’s permission, decided to move to the place where Poseidon and Hades were battling and deciding the future of the universe, where, alongside, Chronos was rejuvenating.
Hades, after sometime, had stopped battling, as he thought that Chronos would give him the reign of Heaven; he being the cause of his revitalization. On seeing that, Poseidon also stopped and on knowing that nothing was possible, started to gawk at the rejuvenation of Chronos.
Zeus and David had sallied from the cave and were on their way to the Styx, a river below which, Underworld had its origin. They were gazing that prospect too, but while having a plan to overwinter Chronos, were moving hastily towards the river near which the Scythe, had been veiled. It was obvious that Chronos would revitalize himself, as the Scythe had been placed around the pieces of his body, which were, a long stint past, ruthlessly cut by Zeus, after the renowned Titanomachy. Zeus, however, coveted to sojourn the rejuvenation of Chronos, as he credited that if Chronos would revitalize, the whole universe would devastate because of his dread and as, he having ruled for the stint he wanted, was just revitalizing himself to take the vengeance of his brothers from his callous children; which he, deemed but actually were very considerate and had been born with a blissful nature, except Hades, who was an exception; rather an extraordinary exception.
Poseidon was gawking at the revitalization of Chronos and was wondering the reason for it. He knew that it was the stupidity of the modernized one but although, having acknowledged that he had a low knowledge of Greece, did not rebuke him. Poseidon was aware that the Scythe was somewhere around the river Styx but having lost the hope of living was about to claim suicide.
“Hades, now that you have claimed you rights and it is the stint when Chronos shall lend you the Heaven, which you wrongly believe and in the falsehood which you live, shall demand a lot from you. I am taking suicide but. What will you do?” said Poseidon, while he prepared himself for a self-death.
“Why should I suicide, rather, I will see your butchery. I will happily rule the Heaven when this world will stop their nastiness towards me and the scope of evil would rise, making me the most powerful,” replied Hades laughingly as he saw Poseidon and turned his head towards that spectacular prospect.
“Don’t live in that falsehood, Hades! I just said it because you are my brother and if you, can stop it, should stop it; not for your siblings but for your own welfare,” came another response from Poseidon as he took the Trident and was about to claim suicide.
“Why, why should I stop it? How will it benefit me? Although, I cannot stop it, but if could, I would have surely not as after that Zeus would take the Heaven and I will have to live in the Underworld, once again. How does it matter if he slays me; for me, it is all the same. After all, I’m the ruler of the Underworld and millions of souls can sacrifice for me in a single command. Let him butcher me and I shall surely give you the opportunity to glance my butchery but only when i
t happens,” said Hades as he continued to laugh.
“Well, then I cannot stop you but not exactly encourage you too. It is completely dependent upon your transgressions and your choice. I am leaving this world of distrust and unreality and for me; I being an immortal will surely have fun among the souls and spirits,” replied Poseidon as he took his Trident and turned its sharp pointed ends towards him but when, was about to suicide, was stopped by the yell of an immortal.
“Stop, Poseidon. I have a plan to stop this terrific prospect. There is a positive aspect behind this situation but you just have to listen and do what I say. Are you ready for it?” yelled Zeus as he flew in the air with his Thunderbolt in his hand.
“Okay bro. What’s the plan?” replied Poseidon.
Hades was listening to their plan and had a thought that led him to leave that place. He knew that Chronos would revitalize in a short moment of stint and after it, he would be appointed as the ruler of Heaven. The wounded pieces of Chronos were gluing to each other but, on the other hand, a flawless plan against him was being, planned too.
That prospect was spectacular and none other than a scene that could be scrutinized only in video games,but not in reality.
“Poseidon your Trident is the main aspect of our plan and you will have to maneuver it,” said Zeus as he saw Hades parting from the surface of Styx and going near the place where the rejuvenation was in process.
“Sure, but what is the plan? Be quick, we don’t have much stint!” said Poseidon as he asked the plan but something of a most unusual nature halted the conversation between them.
Hades was moving towards the place of rejuvenation, which was a zone of extremely intense spiritual powers and on being oblivious of Chronos’ intentions, had to borne his unexpected terror. Chronos, on seeing Hades coming towards him, with his immense powers, paralyzed him and cut his body and soul into more pieces than the number of neutrons present in the whole universe. It was such a callous scene. He had to reside in the Tartarus, until the universe contracted to its full density and his Pitchfork was handed to him, which was not actually possible, as it had been thrown away by the spurt of lava from one of the geysers, which had produced an intense amount of energy.
Poseidon and Zeus were staring at this prospect and sighed for once, as they knew that one of their problems had been solved, but the most significant difficulty in front of them was Chronos, who could neither be defeated nor paralyzed.
The Divulge Of The Strategy
The Scythe had not reached the hands of Chronos and the rejuvenation could only be sojourned if the Scythe was sent; millions of light years away from that place, while gaining the escape velocity so that it could be spurted out from the voids, which had their mystically unknown existence beyond the infinite universe. Only a high intensity clash could create the force entailed by the Scythe to gain the velocity to reach an unbelievable extent. How was that possible? No god in the endless universe had such supreme powers to create suitable conditions for the Scythe to attain that escape velocity, which could, eventually mark the end of Chronos forever, while leading the three dimensions in exhilaration.
“The plain is that,” said Zeus while disclosing the plan and telling Poseidon that the creator of that plan was an intellectual human being named David; “We will combine our weapons and with the sway of the incantations used by the Cyclops, we’ll generate such a force which will make way for the Scythe to attain its escape velocity. Do you agree?”
“Yes I agree but how will we target the Scythe? The force which will be created will ruin the land but will not affect Scythe in any ways,” replied Poseidon as he thought from a different point of view.
“David has a plan for that too,” said Zeus while he addressed Poseidon; “Tell us David. How will the entire plan work?”
“Well that’s pretty tranquil! Firstly, Zeus, with the help of his powers, will create vile blizzards. They will be followed by an earthquake initiated by the Trident,” David said as he elaborately endeavoured to explain the plan; “When the Scythe will unveil due to the earthquake, the cyclones will help in bringing it over the land and when it is slightly lifted above the land, you shall combine your apparatuses and create the velocity to help it escape into the voids which have an unknown existence, making it all over and while pointing your aim towards the Scythe, take care that it is in the opposite direction of the nebula of Chronos’ rejuvenation.”
He said while sighing and continued to offer the plan, “Whilst this would be going on, a time portal would be created due to the cogency of gravity and at such a high-speed, I shall enter my foot into it; which will lead me back to the future and you might dwell and plan for your future as well. I know that it’s difficult but let’s make this happen and let the history of this universe remember our deeds for the future of humanity.”
“Don’t worry David, I know you love Almonds and I shall send you some more Almonds,” said Poseidon happily, as he saw some hope in the master plan.
“Poseidon, it’s not a hysterical moment at all for you to crack jokes. Pleas focus,” interrupted Zeus as he insisted Poseidon to concentrate on the plan.
“Okay but are you ready?”
“Do we have another option?”
“No!”
“Then,” said Zeus angrily.
“Then what, let’s begin.”
“Okay I’m creating blizzards but make sure that the quake hits the earth and the intensity should not be too high. Make it so that it reaches slightly above the ground,” said Zeus while executing their plan.
“What if Chronos grabs hold of it.”
“Are you stupid? Obviously, you’ll make it in the opposite direction,” he repeated once again.
“Sure but be on the safer side,” replied Poseidon as he saw Zeus creating the appalling blizzards.
Conversation between them did not remark for a long time as they continued to execute their plan. An earthquake followed high-speed winds created by Zeus. Earth was shaken while the epicenter being on the speck where the Scythe, was veiled.
The earthquake brought the Scythe to the surface of the terrain whilst, the blizzards lifted it slightly up in the air. Chronos was seeing all this and pondering what his children were exactly doing for his butchery. He, being a Titan, for once thought, if he had not married Rhea, he would not have to abide such a terrific day, when his children were against him and prayed for his death. Truly, what a game of fate it was?
The Time Portal’s Commencement
They had asserted every particle of their crux in establishing the intense cogency to get rid of the Scythe. They were endeavouring their finest and knew that the consequences might be in their favour and having got to know the deadline, began the process of the creation of the escape velocity that was entailed for them to send the Scythe into the voids.
The Scythe, was raised slightly above the surface of the Earth, so that, it could be forever, sent far away from the origin of Earth, while snatching the immortality of Chronos.
On one side, stood Zeus with his Thunderbolt, whilst on the other side, stood Poseidon with his trident ready to generate the cogency entailed for the plan to execute.
Zeus maneuvered his Thunderbolt from one side, while, Poseidon standing on the other side, maneuvered his Trident too. There were high intensity rays generated by both of the weapons but as they touched the Scythe, an inter-galactic supernova was spectated but when that came back in the state of a nova, they saw that it had not affected the Scythe.
They both put in the struggle of their whole life into creating that velocity and finally, another supernova was observed; it being more vivid than any other thing in the whole universe had remarked a peculiar observation on the guise of their faces.
The escape velocity, was somehow, attained and now, only a slight push from their side was entailed, which could strike the Scythe, lead it into the unknown voids and end the chapter of Chronos forever but the veracity was rather flummoxing. It was not that much tranquil as the
push that is being talked about, could end their chapter as well, devastate the name of gods from the history of the entire world, and while activating the time portal for David, be the reason for the innovation of a benevolent world.
They didn’t have any other option than to apply that push and for humanity, they assumed their lives to be less than a sack of rice. They, finally, in the future of humankind and being the gods of betterment, applied that push and the result was came to be in their favour; not wholly but somewhat, surely in their favour.
“An action has an opposite reaction”, stated that any action performed had an opposite reaction and it was obviously true in the case of Zeus and Poseidon as when they put in their final cogency, they got a push back from the explosion that threw them far away from that place and while leaving them into bits of pieces, activated the time portal, before which Zeus had courteously addressed David’s question, “No matter if we die tonight but if you don’t get back, it will matter to us a lot. It is our fate and we cannot deny it. You shall go back to the future as soon as the time portal activates. Don’t worry for us. We will still remain in the hearts of people; not in full form but surely in particles. You just go. You will find your father there. This time portal can approach you to any unknown place but don’t be afraid; you’ll remain on Earth.”
“No!” said David after he saw their pieces going along with the Scythe with an intense speed and velocity. He bawled too but having found that nothing could be done, he stepped his foot into that colossal time portal, somewhat of vivid green light and became a part of it as he travelled in it.
The Scythe was going with a speed more than that of light and finally went missing somewhere in the voids and was never found or talked about after that. The rejuvenation of Chronos stopped and he once again went into the Tartarus; not in hibernation but had dissolved in the atmosphere. The Earth started to unite once again and the entire land was once again, covered with thick green vegetation. Reforms of life started to take place and finally the blue planet was restored into a diverse oblate spheroid with life, cultures and irrational beliefs as well. All the myths were reformed too and finally came a renaissance to history of the universe. There was no sign of terror on Earth and it had, once again become a place of bliss and charm.
