Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 129 The Supreme Artifact
"I have a suggestion. I hope the three of you can stay in the underworld and help me guard the imprisoned sinful gods."

"Incidentally, you should also use your great strength to support the earth and be careful of the safety of the underworld. Do not let it be crushed by the heavy pressure of the earth, and ensure the stability of the new realm."

"The underworld has just been born, and its structure is not yet stable enough. If it collapses, it will be very bad. Not only will it cause chaos, but it will also harm countless newborn souls and make them suffer undeserved disasters."

Zeus solemnly said, "My dear friends, I know no one else but you to whom I can entrust such a weighty responsibility concerning the order of the universe, such an important mission."

"Only you, I absolutely trust your unparalleled strength and unwavering loyalty!"

Briareus hesitated for only a moment before immediately and without hesitation agreeing, his voice extremely firm: "As you command, Your Majesty the Great God-King! Your will is our direction, and we will surely fulfill your commission, guarding the Underworld without ever slacking off!"

Upon hearing this, Zeus laughed heartily and said, "Aha, don't worry, don't worry, you don't need to worry about suffering the torment of loneliness."

“I can separate a portion of your consciousness, and ask the Mother Goddess to create a smaller divine body for you, one that will make it easier for you to travel around the world.”

"In this way, your true forms can remain in the depths of the underworld and rest peacefully, while your separated consciousnesses can attach themselves to new divine bodies, fully enjoy this beautiful world, stay by the Mother Goddess's side, and roam freely. How does that sound?"

Upon hearing this, the three hundred-armed giants were overjoyed!
This is truly a perfect solution!

They also knew perfectly well what a catastrophe it would be if their enormous bodies were in the world.

Let alone intentional sabotage, even the slightest movement can cause enormous damage, no matter how careful you are.

It's easy to imagine that if they continued to live within the world, their enormous size and various inconveniences would soon annoy and provoke complaints from the gods.

Even with Zeus's protection, it's unlikely they'll have a good ending in the long run, since their size is a real problem for the gods.

Feelings are never static; they can deepen or become shallower, and may even turn into disgust and hatred.

No matter what kind of feelings or relationships they are, they all need to be carefully maintained.

Moreover, his body was too big, which was indeed inconvenient in many ways, restricted his movement, and prevented him from truly experiencing the beauty of the world. The method proposed by Zeus was simply perfect!

It was practically tailor-made for them, solving all their problems!
Of course, only Zeus, who possessed the power to divide the gods, could do this. The hundred-handed giant's divine consciousness was too strong, and he was a pure material god. His divinity and body were too closely integrated, making it impossible for ordinary people to separate them.

Moreover, even if they could, they never dared to do so before.

They are different from pure law gods. If their divinity were to be completely transferred to a fragile body, they could indeed be killed.

Under Cronus's rule, they dared not entrust their safety to the god who showed no mercy to Cronus.

Now it is Zeus who both protects them, giving them absolute safety, and allows them to share only a portion of their consciousness.

Even if the new body is destroyed and part of the consciousness is wiped out, it will not have a significant impact on the original body, and the risk is minimized.

The hundred-armed giants were overjoyed, their heartfelt gratitude overflowing. They cried out in unison, "Wise and enlightened God-King, your method is absolutely perfect! We thank you for your meticulous care and love, and your kindness will be forever remembered!"

Zeus smiled and nodded, then looked at Gaia and respectfully asked, "Revered Mother Goddess, what do you think of my arrangement?"

Gaia was in a much better mood now, nodding repeatedly in satisfaction: "Zeus, only you could have come up with such a good idea, and only you could have done it. I have no objections, and I thank you for your kindness and love for my children."

The Mother Goddess of All Things was truly satisfied. She had been worried about how these children could live in the world, and now this was the best solution.

Everything Zeus had shown had completely convinced Gaia of His divine authority.

Zeus, the forgiving, dignified, benevolent, and reliable god!
Zeus smiled modestly and said, "This is what I should do. They are my dearest friends, how could I not think of them?"

Plan works! With giants in the underworld, Gaia, whatever ideas you have, you absolutely can't carry them out!

The gods secretly breathed a sigh of relief. These three hundred-armed giants were really too difficult to settle. If they lived in the world, they would cause devastating disasters at every turn. This was indeed the best solution.

At this moment, the loud voice of Brontes, the leader of the three Cyclopes, echoed in the hall. He pleaded, "Immortal and mighty god-king, please arrange us in the same way. Although our bodies are not as huge as Heca and Crireth, we still have many inconveniences."

"We are also willing to enter the underworld to guard the sinful gods for you and do what we can for you."

Zeus pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The three Cyclopes were overjoyed, and they cried out in unison, "Benevolent and generous Zeus, thank you for your grace! You are the most merciful and eternal king of the gods!" No sooner had they spoken than Brontë changed the subject, becoming even more respectful and solemn, saying, "Supreme king of the gods, merciful Zeus! It was you who saved us from endless torment, delivered us from the abyss of Tartarus, and bestowed upon us all the glory and new life we ​​had longed for!"

"We are incredibly grateful for your kindness, and we firmly believe that you will surely become the most magnificent ruler of the universe, the greatest king of all gods!"

"To thank you for your redemption, and to demonstrate your supreme rule, we, together with Heca and Crireth, have prepared a gift for you, Your Majesty Hades, and Your Majesty Poseidon. Please accept it as a token of our humble respect and loyalty!"

"Oh?"

Zeus was slightly surprised, but then a hopeful smile appeared on his face. He said gently, "My dear friends, we are so close, how could I refuse your kindness?"

"I've always heard that you are skillful and intelligent. Your gift must be extraordinary. I'm really looking forward to it."

Bruntes said respectfully, "Great and generous King of Gods, your favor is our greatest honor!"

After saying this, the three Cyclopes left the temple together and took a relatively small "scepter" from Briareus's enormous hand.

This scepter is called a scepter, but it is not a simple scepter at all, and it is not even in the shape of a scepter.

It is a ball of light that sparkles with billions of different colors and colors. It looks neither gold nor jade, neither iron nor copper, neither wood nor stone, neither hard nor brittle, neither strong nor soft.

This ball of light didn't look very big, but it actually had an unimaginable mass and was incredibly heavy.

Just by looking at how even three powerful beings like the Cyclops struggled to lift it together, one can tell just how heavy and extraordinary this artifact is.

The three Cyclopes knelt down once more, and with utmost reverence, presented Zeus with this unparalleled artifact.

Zeus descended from his throne, stretched out his great hand, and grabbed the ball of light.

The moment he touched it, he felt its heavy weight, and Zeus could feel a natural affinity between himself and the scepter.

After Zeus took the scepter, the three Cyclopes suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's clear that they've exhausted all their efforts in such a short time.

Brentius the Thunder, panting heavily but overflowing with pride and self-satisfaction, explained to Zeus: "Honorable Zeus! We take the eternal material essence of the Mother Goddess as our most solid foundation, and combine it with the eternal threads of darkness woven by the Lady of Night with endless darkness and night."

"And there's the etheric ridge that Heca and Criris captured from high above, and the pure water of the ocean that gives birth to all things."

"And most importantly, the core of Tartarus."

"During the endless time we were consumed by Tartarus, we learned about the chaotic, devouring, and destructive power of a portion of Tartarus. With the help of the Lady of the Night and the might of your thunder, we, along with Heca and Criris, extracted this crystal core containing the power of Tartarus."

"Heca and Krires, along with our divine blood containing the essence of the heavens and the Mother Goddess, and our divine blood that once contained the laws of lightning, have all been incorporated into it without reservation."

“Deep underground, at the edge of darkness and nothingness, using the pure nothingness power of Tartarus, we fused all of this together, exhausting all our efforts to finally forge this divine artifact!”

Brontes' voice was filled with immense pride: "This is the most powerful and supreme artifact we have created with our utmost effort!"

"We will never be able to create such a supreme artifact again, which is a combination of the heavens, the earth, the ether, darkness and night, and the origin of nothingness. It is a unique and supreme existence in the universe!"

"Our remaining divine blood, imbued with the power of thunder and lightning, has been integrated into it as a means of control and connection, making you naturally the sole master of this divine artifact!"

"This is also the only artifact that can bear your invincible and immortal power; it is the symbolic scepter of your supreme thunder."

Zeus wore an undisguised smile, nodding repeatedly with satisfaction, his joy and delight evident; he truly loved this divine artifact.

He infused it with the power of thunder, and in an instant, this perfect sphere, symbolizing perfection, was surrounded and flashed with lightning, bursting forth with dazzling light and brilliant colors.

In that instant, the artifact was branded with His supreme mark and became His property.

This perfect artifact has no specific shape or even specific properties. This artifact, which gathers all the origins of the universe, can freely change at will and transform into any form that Zeus desires.
