Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 116 I Will Only Be the Greatest Father God! (5K Chapters, Bonus Chapter!)
He thought to himself: Before the country was conquered, everyone was united.

But now that the country is settled and it's time to divide the spoils, it will be difficult to maintain unity.

Will the goddesses start fighting?!

The position of Queen of Gods, sharing honor with the God-King, that's the biggest piece of the pie!

You should know that goddesses, or rather all gods, have never been willing to share their beloved ones.

The divinity of gods is boundless, and their emotions are far more abundant than those of mortals.

Goddesses, in particular, are extremely jealous, and their methods in vying for male gods are always ruthless and merciless.

Jealousy born of love is enough to drive a goddess mad.

When it comes to vying for male gods, the goddesses who are jealous of the ones above them show absolutely no mercy when dealing with other goddesses.

Although the goddess was secretly pleased that she had gotten into the fight.

It's good to have some fun every now and then; it's an interesting pastime in the long, endless years.

Okay, just don't go too far.

The cool yet alluring Nyx looked at Zeus, who was completely bewildered by her control, and felt both delighted and smug. The corners of her sexy lips curled up slightly, adding to her charm.

She smiled and said, "Glory Zeus, great king of the gods, now that you are the ruler of the universe, do you still remember me?"

The woman in the night spoke with a clear hint of probing and coquetry.

Zeus quickly laughed and said, "My dear Lady of the Night, how could I possibly forget you?"

"Olympus will always welcome you, I will always welcome you, and my temple will always be open to you."

Nyx's smile vanished instantly, her expression changing so quickly that even God was caught off guard.

She glared at Zeus, her eyes full of displeasure and a hint of coquettishness, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Nyx! Call me Nyx! From now on, you may only call me by my name!"

The usually noble, elegant, and independent Lady of the Night now displays a spoiled and willful demeanor like a little girl when facing Zeus.

The unexpected cuteness made Zeus even more confused.

Seeing Zeus's slightly troubled expression, she softened her tone, took a step forward, and embraced him with her graceful and mature figure. With unprecedented tenderness, she said softly, "My dear Zeus, I will not make things difficult for you in this world."

"Zeus of the sky, Zeus of the earth, may not be my Zeus."

"But Zeus of the underworld, Zeus of darkness, Zeus of the night, you are my Zeus, and you must come and keep me company often!"

Zeus pondered to himself, the implication being that the night was about to take away a third of him. Was the night truly too greedy, or was it a reaction to being suppressed for too long?
He swallowed hard and nodded with difficulty.

Upon seeing Zeus's reaction, Nyx's shy and gentle expression suddenly changed, becoming alluring and frosty.

She pressed him angrily, "What?! You're not going to back out, are you?!"

Zeus quickly embraced Nyx, shaking his head repeatedly: "My dear Nyx, of course not, how could I? You are so beautiful, possessing infinite charm, how could I bear to give you up?"

“Even if you want to leave me, I will never allow it. My dear Nyx, how can you doubt that I would bear to leave you? I love you so much, how can I bear the pain of leaving you?”

After being flattered by Zeus, Nyx nodded in satisfaction, regaining her charming and beautiful expression, and feeling relaxed.

She hesitated for a moment, but still followed the example of ordinary minor gods, with a hint of experimentation and curiosity, and kissed Zeus's cheek, as if giving Zeus a sweet treat.

Although she didn't understand why many gods enjoyed physical intimacy after they gained bodies, she figured Zeus must like it, so she figured she'd just satisfy him.

Moreover, the feeling of being embraced by Zeus was strange, yet quite comfortable.

Apart from Zeus, she never had any physical contact with any other god.

Zeus was startled by the sudden attack. He looked around, afraid of being seen by the gods. His instinctive vigilance prevented him from even properly feeling the softness.

But He soon realized how foolish He had been.

I was too naive!

The same goes for Mnemosyne!

Do I need to fear that other gods will find out?
Does Nyx have anything to fear?

Would Mnemosyne be afraid?

They'd love for the whole universe to know!

Hera?

Hera isn't qualified to interfere in this matter yet!

As for Metis...
Yes, Metis.

The amorous god-king thought of Metis, who was gentle, loyal, and devoted to him. His remaining conscience softened, and he didn't want to hurt her feelings today.

However, after confirming that no one was around, He immediately kissed Nyx's fair and flawless face.

I didn't get a good feel for it earlier, now I have to make up for it!

The touch of the goddess's delicate cheek stirred his heart.

I must say, the beauty of the Night Lady is truly wonderful to kiss!
Cool and smooth, incomparably delicate, with a hint of dangerous yet extremely alluring sweet fragrance, its unique aroma makes it irresistible.

Nyx, unaware of Zeus's inner thoughts, assumed he genuinely liked her, and so she tilted her head back and kissed Zeus's cheek again, her gesture a mixture of intimacy and curiosity.

Her alluring dark red lips were unexpectedly soft and tender. Although slightly cool, the alluring beauty of the Night Lady still stirred the lustful Zeus's heart, making him unable to control himself.

So He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss him again.

Now Nyx was truly certain that Zeus did indeed enjoy close physical contact.

Hmm~ I quite like it myself, it's a strange feeling, my body feels a little weak.

Nyx smiled slightly and said softly, "Okay, I know you like it. I'll definitely make sure you like it in the future."

Zeus thought much deeper than Nyx. He swallowed hard, his greedy saliva slurring, and nodded emphatically.

Then he released Nyx, made sure he was alright, and then walked back to the temple with Nyx side by side.

Nyx was suddenly released, and she felt a strange sense of loss. Her joy dissipated in an instant, and she became somewhat silent. She regained her noble and aloof demeanor and quietly followed Zeus back to the palace.

She thought she had gotten used to loneliness, but the sudden sense of loss and emptiness made her realize it once again.

What God fears most is loneliness and nothingness.

Losing something you've gained is far more unbearable than never having had it at all.

The once noisy and bustling gods fell silent the moment they saw Zeus and the Lady of Night enter the temple side by side.

Lady of the Night is the last great god to arrive. Now, all the remaining great gods in the universe, along with their children who possess the laws, have arrived.

As for those lesser gods, they are not qualified to participate in this feast.

Only after the God-King ascends to the throne will it be their turn to come and worship the new ruler of the universe, the God of all gods!
All the gods knew that now that the great gods had all arrived, it was time to formally divide the power of the universe. A new cosmic order would be established and implemented from this moment forward, and Zeus would determine the course of the universe's infinite future!

Zeus walked slowly to the top of the temple, his tall figure appearing even more majestic under the temple's dazzling light.

He looked at the assembled gods before him, stretched out his arms, and shouted loudly, his voice like thunder piercing the sky, resounding throughout the entire Olympus!
"My dear comrades! My dear friends! This is the first time we have gathered together to celebrate the supreme honor we have achieved through our joint efforts!"

"We have triumphed over the flawed order! We have triumphed over the corrupt order! We have triumphed over brutality and cruelty! We have triumphed over greed and dictatorship!"

"This honor, I, Zeus, will never keep to myself!"

"Today, for the first time, we gather together to enjoy sweet mead and delicious delicacies. This is the taste of victory!"

"From now on, we will forever be together, enjoying the beauty and prosperity of the universe!"

"Now, let us raise our glasses! Let us drink together! Let us cheer for this great victory!"

"After we have drunk the wine of victory, then let us discuss and establish a new, just and beautiful order!"

As soon as Zeus finished speaking, a deafening roar of cheers erupted from the hall, echoing throughout Mount Olympus and soaring into the sky, as if to shatter the heavens and earth.

The passion and joy in the hearts of the gods were completely ignited, and they were engrossed in a victorious celebration!

The brutal era of Cronus is gone forever!
While the gods were indulging in their victorious feast, reveling in wine and song, the gentle and loving mother goddess Rhea, with a hint of worry and expectation in her beautiful eyes, secretly gave Zeus a wink.

Zeus immediately understood, the tacit understanding was self-evident.

He then gave Metis and Hera a look, handing them the responsibility of hosting the feast, while he and the Mother Goddess quietly left the temple to find a secluded place.

The two gods found a quiet and serene place. The mother goddess Rhea smiled gently, her smile filled with tenderness and relief. She whispered, "Zeus, you have succeeded, my most glorious child. You have saved your brothers and sisters, and you have defeated Cronus, saving the order of the universe. You are the most glorious hero of the universe, the most sacred god. I am proud of you!"

Zeus smiled and said, "Mother Goddess, all that I have accomplished today is not due to my own efforts, but to the help of everyone and the support of all the gods."

"I am who I am today because of your meticulous teaching and protection, Mother Goddess. Without you, Mother Goddess, I would not be where I am today. Everything I have comes from you."

The goddess Rhea gently shook her head, her humility and love making her even more beautiful. She smiled and said, "No, Zeus, it is you who gave us hope. Because of you, we were able to defeat Cronus. You are our hope and our future, forever."

Zeus smiled gently, stretched out his arms, and embraced Rhea with affection and gratitude: "This is my glory, and I am willing to be everyone's hope and future forever."

Rhea nodded emphatically, her eyes filled with determination: "Yes, it will, it definitely will!"

She paused, hesitated slightly, and said softly, "Zeus, I heard your conversation with the Mother Goddess earlier."

“Zeus, the Mother Goddess has no ill intentions. Her heart is pure. She is just a little impatient and seems aggressive and speaks harshly, but she has absolutely no ill intentions towards you. She just loves us children too much.”

She sighed deeply, her sigh filled with understanding and pity for Gaia: "The Mother Goddess has always been like this. She has a quick temper and can never manage our relationship well, but she has a deep love for each of our children."

“She had argued with Cronus several times before because of Heca, Clyreth, and Cyclops, and they almost came to blows. She also argued with Cronus many times because of us children, to fight for our rights.”

"But Cronus ignored the warning and became even more ruthless. If the Mother Goddess hadn't reached her breaking point, she wouldn't have thought of overthrowing Cronus."

“But even if she wanted to overthrow Cronus, she certainly didn’t want to completely destroy them or imprison them in Tartarus to suffer endless torment. That’s not the kind of choice a mother would make.”

The benevolent mother goddess Rhea fully understands a mother's feelings; her own past experiences allow her to empathize deeply.

She is also the Great Mother Goddess.

She sighed again and said softly, "Zeus, she has just gained six children again, but at the same time lost four of them. This is too cruel a thing for any mother."

"Zeus, you are about to become the king of the gods, the ruler of the universe. The mother goddess begs you to understand her feelings."

"Before Mother Goddess escalates the situation, please try your best to take care of her. Please understand the feelings of a poor mother and try not to escalate the situation further. I will persuade her properly. I will persuade Mother Goddess together with Oceanus and the others."

Upon hearing this, Zeus smiled gently, took the mother goddess's hands in his hand, and said softly, "Mother goddess, I understand. Please don't worry, I will handle everything."

Zeus smiled slightly, looked at Rhea, and said seriously, "If a mother watches her child about to step into the abyss and does not try to stop it, or even stands by and does nothing, how can she be called a mother?"

"Therefore I do not blame the Mother Goddess of All Things. Everything she did was out of maternal love. No god has any reason to blame a mother who stands up for her children."

Zeus said with utmost seriousness, "A mother wanting to save her child is the most righteous thing in the universe!"

"Just as I was able to survive because of your great love."

Rhea smiled with gratitude, her eyes glistening with tears. "Zeus, thank you for your understanding. You are the most benevolent god, and your heart is broader than the universe."

Zeus made a face at his mother, displaying a rare childlike innocence: "Why are you thanking me, Mother? Am I not your beloved child? Why should we exchange thanks?"

The loving mother goddess Rhea smiled, her smile making all of Olympus shine even brighter. She looked at Zeus with affection and said, "Of course, always!"

Zeus smiled and continued, "I cannot fully satisfy the Mother Goddess's demands right now, for the sake of the greater good, but I can understand her feelings; her love for her son is beyond reproach."

"I will handle this matter perfectly from now on, I promise you."

"This is just a small matter. I am not a narrow-minded god and will not take it to heart. Please rest assured, Mother Goddess, even if I have some unavoidable actions, I will restrain myself and will never let the universe fall into turmoil again."

Zeus paused for a moment, then said, "Moreover, I am not some ungrateful, heartless god."

He said earnestly, “I have always clearly remembered that at the beginning of my birth, the Mother Goddess of All Things did not hesitate to give up the laws of ‘abundance’ and ‘prosperity’ from herself and be devoured by the ancient god-king in my place so that I could survive.”

“When I was young, the Mother Goddess of All Things rose up on Crete, transformed it into my hiding place, and together with the Lady of Night, Nyx, sheltered my existence from the persecution of Cronus.”

"She also sent Adrastheia and Ide to care for me while I was still in my cradle, and their loving care allowed me to grow up healthy and happy; and her creations—Melisius and Amalthea—fed me and raised me, and I will never forget the sweetness of honey and goat's milk."

“Even the wreath I gave to Metis, the token of my love, could only exist in the ocean under the blessing of the Mother Goddess Gaia; it was a miracle bestowed by her.”

“I have always kept these kindnesses in my heart, so how could I possibly do evil to the Mother Goddess of All Things over such a trivial matter?”

"Without the great help of Mother Goddess, Mother Goddess Gaia, and Lady Nyx, not to mention the glorious victory we have today, I would have been devoured by the ancient god-king long ago, and I would not exist at all."

Zeus held Rhea's warm, smooth hand tightly, and a sincere promise came from his mouth: "Mother Goddess, please do not worry about such a small matter. I, Zeus, am by no means a narrow-minded god, much less an ungrateful god."

"I will never choose to make things worse; I will only make things better."

"The same applies to the entire universe. I only want an infinitely prosperous and infinitely beautiful universe. I don't like a lifeless, dark, and cruel universe. That's not what I'm looking for."

“Mother Goddess, please believe me. I will not become a tyrant like Uranus, who does whatever he wants, nor a ruthless tyrant like Cronus.”

“I will be the God of Gods, I will become a God with love, I will be the benevolent Father God of all things in the universe, and my reign will be full of mercy and justice.”

"Because I deeply love all intelligent beings."

The mother goddess Rhea was deeply moved. Her bright and loving eyes filled with glistening tears as she embraced Zeus tightly, her embrace filled with boundless love and trust.

She cupped Zeus's cheeks in her hands, her voice trembling with excitement and joy, and said, "Zeus, my child, you will! You will surely be the most forgiving and benevolent king of the gods! You will bring happiness and peace to the entire universe!"

"Zeus, my child, I will always be proud of you, and I will always be honored by you!"

Zeus chuckled and said softly, "Mother Goddess, let's go back quickly; the other gods must be getting impatient."

Rhea nodded repeatedly, the heaviness in her heart completely dissipating. She smiled and said, "They must be getting impatient. You are the center of the gods. They must be extremely anxious about your absence for so long."

The two gods returned hand in hand to the feast of the gods. After Zeus returned, all the gods once again focused their attention on His majestic figure. The return of the future king of the gods brought the atmosphere of the feast to a climax!

A new era has officially begun!
