Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 105 Is this god believable?
At this moment, he ran to the far side and carefully used his divine power to shield himself from the view of the six brothers in distress who were gathered in a circle. The content of their discussion was almost exactly the same as what Zeus had said.

After repeated discussions, they still felt that they had no other choice and no other way.

They were escaping from prison; what other choice did they have?
Unless they can truly overthrow the god-king Cronus, they will be captured again sooner or later and imprisoned in that terrible Tartarus once more.

No matter how you look at it, Tartarus would rather die than go back in!

As for continuing to be loyal to Cronus? They're not that cheap.

Moreover, Cronus's divine status is completely untrustworthy; anyone who still believes in him is a truly hopeless fool.

Even if the God-King accepts them temporarily for the sake of victory, he will inevitably turn against them again without hesitation afterward, just like before.

A god cannot fall into the same pit twice!
After reaching a consensus, they remained silent for a long time, their enormous bodies appearing somewhat dejected in the darkness.

Finally, the Cyclops Thorontes concluded: "Whether the son of the god-king is credible or not, we have no other choice."

“The Mother Goddess entrusted Him to release us, and He at least has the Mother Goddess’s approval and trust. This is our only hope.”

"And Cronus... He cannot be trusted at all!"

Bruntes gritted his teeth, his resentment spitting out: "That bastard, his cruelty and suspicion are ingrained in his bones. He has already betrayed us once, and we must never give him a second chance!"

"I would rather die, I would rather be banished to Tartarus again, than serve Him any longer!"

A thunderous roar erupted from Argus, who voiced his deepest concern: "The son of the god-king seems as trustworthy as Cronus was back then, but beneath his gentle exterior, does he also possess the same hypocrisy, shamelessness, cruelty, and ruthlessness as his father?"

"What if He imprisons us again like Cronus did?"

"I think we'd better come up with a way to secure some protection for ourselves right now."

The quickest-thinking Stroopes said in a deep voice, “Cronus banished us to Tartarus because he feared our immense power, our supreme strength inherited from the Father and Mother Goddess!”

“Even if the son of Cronus becomes the new king of the gods, he will still fear our power.”

“Even if we are utterly loyal to the new God-King, we possess the power to overthrow him, which is something no God-King could ever tolerate.”

The six giants remained silent for a while, their 153 enormous heads appearing particularly solemn as they pondered.

Finally, Geus, the hundred-handed giant and earth-force, slowly said, "Did you all hear clearly what Molithius just said about the power possessed by Zeus, the son of Cronus?"

The Hundred-Handed Giant, Enraged Cortous, now showed no anger in his usually volatile nature, only calm and deep contemplation.

He spoke in a deep voice the authority of Zeus that Melius had just revealed: "Division, harvest, sky, domination, future, hope."

As soon as the words were spoken, the three hundred-armed giants looked at the three one-eyed giants without saying a word.

Berontes the Thunder, with a sense of helpless fate, muttered, "The son of Cronus possesses the authority over the sky. Based on that alone, He will never let the three of us go."

Having made up his mind, Lightning Stroopes' single eye flashed with a resolute light, and he said in a deep voice, "In that case, let us give away our power!"

“We were born with the will of the Mother Goddess to overthrow the Father God. We were born to arouse the vigilance of the God King. However, the Mother Goddess’s plan failed, and we are destined to never be able to defeat the God King.”

"Regardless of which god-king."

"This is a burden we cannot bear, something we cannot do. In that case, let us relinquish this inauspicious power!"

"The sons of Cronus possess the power to divide, and this may be the inevitable end."

Argus the Thunderbolt declared resolutely, "Then let us offer our laws to Him!"

"Fulfill His wishes, and fulfill ours as well!"

“When we no longer have the power that the God-King fears and covets, and with the protection of the Mother Goddess, and with our wholehearted loyalty to Him, surely He won't go after us again?”

Berontes the Thunder nodded in agreement: "It's always better to be proactive than passive. It's not unreasonable for us to exchange our own power and authority for His promise to us for the future. It's also the best choice we can make now."

"In any case, it's better than waiting for Him to scheme against us, at which point everything will be out of control."

The three Cyclopes acted decisively after analyzing everything, because they were terrified of Tartarus.

That experience, which utterly terrified them, has left them with nothing but a desire for a simple, peaceful life. To be able to remain in the warm embrace of their Mother Goddess, to safely enjoy this beautiful world, far from all strife and suffering—this is their greatest wish now.

The Cyclops had devised a plan, but the three Hundred-Handed Giants were completely stumped.

One hundred and fifty faces looked at each other in bewilderment.

They had nothing to give!

They are pure material gods conceived by the Mother of All Things through the power of the Father Uranus.

They possess the power to be immortal in the material world. Their immense power can easily destroy everything, and they grow as the material world grows.

However, they have absolutely no authority over laws!
However, the wise and powerful hundred-handed giant Briareus, worthy of being the most intelligent giant, still managed to come up with a solution even with all fifty of his heads thinking at the same time.

"Zeus, son of the king of the gods, also possesses the authority over the 'future' and 'hope'."

Briareus said in a deep voice, “Then let us entrust our future to Him, swear to Him that we will live and die with Him, be His eternal allies, and forever obey His will. Our strength will be His strength, and we will be completely at His disposal!”

He then added, “With Cyclops also contributing the power of the laws to Zeus, the son of the god-king, we are no longer a threat to any god-king. He has no reason not to accept our allegiance, nor any reason to attack us again.”

The other two hundred-armed giants nodded in agreement, finding the statement to be true.

The Cyclopes also thought it was a good idea. If the Son of Cronus still didn't let them go, then they really had no other choice but to accept their fate.

The six giants agreed on a plan, but they were still uneasy.

Briareus said in a low voice, "We have thought things through well, and our plan is quite comprehensive, but after all, this is the son of Cronus. We still need to be more cautious."

"Although the Mother Goddess trusts Him, it may not be without reason, and we cannot place all our hopes on Him."

"Melius is our loyal playmate, and we have a deep bond, as close as brothers."

“This time, the Mother Goddess sent Him to accompany Zeus and asked us to obey the command of the son of the King of Gods. We might as well listen to His opinion, learn about Zeus’s divine character, and hear His most truthful views.”

Upon hearing this, the giants nodded in unison, indicating their approval of Briareus's proposal, which was the safest option at the moment.

They came to Zeus once more, their majestic and vast bodies now bowing respectfully before Zeus's "tiny" divine form.

Briareus said respectfully, "Great Zeus, we are incredibly grateful for your kindness and grace; your benevolence is beyond our comprehension."

His enormous eyes looked at Melius beside him, and he pleaded cautiously, "Your Excellency Zeus, we miss our dear companion Melius terribly. We have not seen each other for far too long. Could you allow us to express our longing for our reunion?"

Zeus showed no impatience whatsoever, his golden eyes filled with a gentle smile as he simply waved his hand, indicating permission.

Maurice immediately understood and quickly went to the giants' side.

The giants once again respectfully thanked Zeus, then carefully led Melius aside to begin their quiet discussion.

The six giants each "embraced" Melius. Their divine bodies were too enormous and their strength too great, so they could only hug him carefully and gently, otherwise they were afraid of destroying Melius's "fragile" divine body.

Berontes the Thunder lamented, “My dearest Morpheus, it has been so long since we last met; the torment seems endless. How we miss everything we had, how we long for the wonderful times we spent together!”

"In this endless torment of nothingness, only the beautiful memories of the past can keep us from completely collapsing and allow us to retain the last shred of reason and hope."

Melius was also very saddened; he was a god with a soft heart and abundant emotions.

He approached each of the giants, his voice filled with deep longing: "My dear friends, during the long and arduous time you have endured, Mother Goddess Gaia has also suffered the pain of longing, and her motherly concern has kept her awake at night."

"And I can only endure the torment of loneliness and spend the long years. How I miss you all, how I miss the wonderful times we played together, those joyful words, now only distant echoes remain."

After speaking in a low voice, His tone suddenly became impassioned and full of hope: "Fortunately, the holy and great Zeus appeared. He brought light and hope, and rescued you from that endless nothingness, allowing you to see the light of day again, and enabling us to meet once more!"

"He will not only save you, but also save the future of the entire universe!"

"He possesses infinite and great power. The god-king Cronus is about to be utterly defeated because of Him, and the tyrannical rule of the god-king will come to an end!"
