Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 107: Dedication to Zeus!
The three Cyclopes solemnly declared, “Respected Zeus, we three brothers possess the most precious gift from our mother goddess: the very origin of the world before its creation. This is our most precious existence, and we offer it to you!”

"Only we, the most precious beings, can express even a fraction of our gratitude for your saving grace. Please do not despise us, and be sure to accept this humble token of our thanks."

Upon hearing this, Zeus was immediately struck by a surge of overwhelming joy.

He knew that everything was accomplished!

The plan in my mind achieved the expected results perfectly.

He also secretly praised the three Cyclopes for their decisiveness and wisdom in abandoning their most important original essence, something that many gods would rather die than do.

He felt a deep sense of gratitude, realizing that the trustworthy and loyal divine order he had painstakingly established since childhood was finally reaping a rich reward.

The collapse of credit and character can happen in an instant, but the establishment of credit requires years of persistence and accumulation.

And this kind of persistence will surely bring the richest rewards!
Because trust is the most basic and solid foundation of all interactions.

Becoming someone others feel is extremely difficult; there are always too many temptations and pressures that lead people to take "shortcuts."

Once you take that one step, all your accumulated efforts vanish instantly, and accumulating more becomes even more difficult.

But once you achieve that, you will surely succeed in whatever you do!
The path to success is right there; the method is simple and unpretentious, and success is inevitable!
However, perseverance is extremely difficult and requires extraordinary willpower and tenacity.

Zeus remained expressionless, as if he knew nothing. He smiled gently, with boundless tenderness and kindness, and said softly, "My dear friends, I can clearly feel your sincere and profound gratitude towards me. This sentiment is enough for me; no additional gift is needed."

"I don't need your gifts. This is not a rejection of you, but a sign of my trust and respect for you."

“Since it is a gift from the Mother Goddess Gaia to you, bestowed by my most beloved Mother Goddess of all things, how can I accept it?”

Zeus gently shook his head and said with a smile, "My dear friends, please do not overthink it. The Mother Goddess has repeatedly spoken to me about your vibrant emotions and pure nature, and I acknowledge your noble divine character."

“We will become best friends. I trust you, just as I trust all my comrades who have fought alongside me, without reservation.”

"We will also become comrades-in-arms, and together we will defeat the corrupt and erroneous order of the god-king Cronus, bringing new light to the universe."

"My dear friends, the warm embrace of Mother Goddess awaits your return, and the infinitely beautiful world and future await us to create together."

Zeus's sincere and warm words deeply comforted the giants' anxieties, and their uneasy divinity finally calmed down.

Berontes the Thunder respectfully said, "Honorable Zeus, your noble and divine virtues are as great as the most brilliant light. We have no other thoughts but endless gratitude."

"But the torment he suffered in Tartarus was unimaginable, and beyond description in any language or writing."

"Our gratitude to you cannot be expressed even in the most beautiful words; your kindness cannot be measured in words."

His enormous single eye was filled with earnestness: "If you are truly willing to regard us as your most sincere friends, then please accept our gratitude. This is a token of our appreciation, which is insignificant and not worth mentioning compared to the kindness you have bestowed upon us."

The hypocritical Zeus sighed softly, his sigh filled with helplessness. He could only reluctantly agree: "Very well, my dear friends, I certainly consider you my most sincere friends."

"Since you insist, I have no choice but to accept your gift. This gift will be an eternal testament to our friendship and a symbol of our unbreakable bond."

The enormous mouth of the thunderbolt Berundeth split open, revealing a joyful smile. He exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, venerable Zeus, this is the truest testament to our friendship! Please accept this testament of our eternal friendship!"

He looked at the Lady of Night beside him, his tone becoming even more solemn: "Before the sacred Lady of Night, we offer our eternal loyalty to the illustrious god Zeus, with heaven and earth as our witness, never to betray him!"

Nyx nodded gently, his voice as soft and deep as the night, and smiled as he said, "I am willing to witness this sacred oath for you illustrious ones."

The three Cyclopes solemnly proclaimed in unison, "Honorable Zeus, please use your great power of division to separate the fundamental laws bestowed upon us by the Mother Goddess Gaia and embrace them in your heavenly embrace!"

"Brontes, offer me thunder!"

(Stroopes, may your radiant lightning shine forth!)

(Arges, offer me your fiery thunderbolts!) Upon hearing this, the goddess Nyx, who witnessed it, couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes, which were filled with disbelief and shock.

She knew the Cyclops would pay a price, but she never imagined it would be a complete and utter sacrifice!

This sacrifice is far too great.

Poseidon gaped, speechless, utterly shocked and completely unable to comprehend the giants' decision.

How could a god give away his own essence?

Even Zeus, who already knew what they wanted to do, could not suppress his excitement and exhilaration when he heard these words that shook the gods. His golden eyes narrowed instantly, and a strange light rippled deep within his golden pupils.

However, Zeus, who had been coyly waiting for this opportunity, feigned shock and said hesitantly, "This..."

"How could I allow this? This is the most fundamental gift the Mother Goddess has given you; how could I take away your very essence?!"

The three Cyclopes pleaded in unison with utmost determination: "Honorable Zeus, please do not hesitate any longer, please accept our friendship and loyalty! This is our voluntary offering, for the eternal freedom you bestow upon us!"

Zeus sighed, accepting with a helpless sigh: "Very well, my dear friends, since you have made up your minds, I will accept your sincere friendship and this priceless gift."

He said with utmost solemnity, "I, Zeus, son of the mighty god-king Cronus and the holy goddess Rhea, accept your friendship and the primordial laws you have offered!"

"Before the great goddess of night, I solemnly swear this most sacred oath: From this day forward, you will be my eternal friends, you will forever enjoy glory under my order, and I will eternally protect you until the end of eternity!"

"This sacred oath is eternally engraved in the laws of the universe! It is unchanging and will never be betrayed!"

The three Cyclopes were overjoyed, their massive bodies trembling slightly. They bowed their heads in unison in respect: "Honorable Zeus, thank you for your friendship and your grace!"

"In the name of the great Mother Goddess Gaia, we swear that we will be forever loyal to you, your will is our eternal will, and we will follow you to the death!"

Zeus couldn't help but laugh, "My dear friends, rise! From this moment on, you will never need to kneel before me again! This is an honor I bestow upon you; we will be eternal friends and equal partners!"

The Cyclopes roared, their voices echoing through the darkness: "Thank you for your grace, great and generous Zeus!"

At this moment, Briareus, the wisest of the hundred-handed giants, spoke in a great voice: "Honorable Zeus, we also ask you to accept our gratitude and loyalty."

“You saved us from nothingness, and the gratitude of us three brothers is no different from that of Cyclops. We have no laws given by the Mother Goddess to offer, but only the divine power given by the Mother Goddess.”

Their kneeling bodies lowered even further, and all one hundred and fifty heads bowed simultaneously: "We swear by your future authority, under the witness of the holy goddess of night, from now until the endless eternity of the future, our strength is your strength, we will fight for you forever, we will always completely obey your will without reservation!"

"For eternity, our future belongs to you. No matter when or where, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will always be by your side, swearing our loyalty to the death and never betraying you!"

Zeus solemnly proclaimed, "My dear friends! I accept your sincere sentiments and selfless dedication!"

"I solemnly swear that we have made a sacred covenant, and that our friendship will last until the very end of time! In the endless future, we will stand shoulder to shoulder and create a new era together!"

"You will also forever enjoy honor and dignity under my order, and I will protect you eternally until the end of eternity!"

“My dear friends, you do not need to kneel before me either. You will always stand beside me as equals. This is the most sacred and eternal covenant I have made with you, and we will never break it!”

"My dearest friends, please rise!"

The giants' deafening voices rang out, filled with excitement and ecstasy: "Thank you for your grace! Our friendship will last forever!"

Only then did the mighty giants slowly rise, and Nyx, standing to the side, felt an incredibly complex mix of emotions.

Her deep eyes looked even more intently at Zeus, and her resolve grew stronger!
Poseidon, however, remained expressionless, his arrogant face devoid of any emotion; he did not wish to utter a single word.

He was so envious!
