Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 133 You can only ask Hera about this.
Mnemosyne returned to prepare to pack up and move to Olympus to live permanently!
What a joke! While distance may make the heart grow fonder, you can't be that far apart!

Olympus is big enough! It's not like we're living in a palace. Only a fool would continue living on this secluded island.

If you stay too far away from your crush, he'll fly away!

Now, Mnemosyne looked at the two poor sisters and felt utterly helpless.

She had a relatively friendly relationship with the Coeus couple and had advised them to serve Zeus instead of becoming his enemy, but the Coeus couple were already on the verge of disaster and had no choice but to act.

Mnemosyne understood their concerns and helplessness, and could only watch helplessly as they walked down a dead end.

All she could do was to take care of the poor sisters as much as she could while they pleaded with her to care for the two daughters.

Zeus wasn't a narrow-minded god; he wouldn't make things difficult for these two little goddesses, provided, of course, that they didn't act recklessly.

She still had some influence and favor with Zeus, and when she pleaded for them, she was able to save the two poor goddesses and let them live in peace.

However, Monica Mossene would never agree to the sisters' current request to seek divine favor.

Protecting the two sisters from being implicated is already the limit of what I can do.

It was absolutely impossible for Mnemosyne to plead with Zeus to forgive Coeus and his wife.

The Goddess of Civilization Memory knows very well what can be done and what absolutely cannot be done.

Such matters, involving the authority of the god-king and the former prisoners, could not even be mentioned; they could only be left to Zeus's own will and judgment.

And there is also the issue of authority.
Anyway, the situation is complicated, so I shouldn't get involved.

Mnemosyne would never be so kind as to harm her relationship with Zeus for the sake of others, not even a little bit!

She knew very well that there were too many goddesses surrounding Zeus!
They're all little devils!

She's too busy trying to pull her crush into her arms to push him away.
However, Mnemosyne was ultimately a soft-hearted goddess.

Seeing Leto and Asteria, her two "children," crying their hearts out in front of her, their grief so profound, she couldn't bear it.

At this moment, Leto and Asteria knelt on either side of Mnemosyne's feet. One of the gods embraced one of her long, slender legs, tears streaming down their faces as they wept uncontrollably.

Sincere pleas poured out of their mouths, and their sorrowful and pained expressions would move even the most hard-hearted deity to pity.

The gentle and obedient Leto, whose personality was always the most mild and docile, as tranquil as water, was now crying the most heartbrokenly, her bright and serene face now completely shrouded in sorrow.

Weeping, she pleaded, "Dear aunt, merciful Mnemosyne, I beg you, for the sake of our shared bond as sons of Uranus, please, Your Majesty the Great King, show mercy and release our parents! I beg you!"

"They were misled by the former God-King, and did not intend to be enemies with His Majesty the God-King. Now that His Majesty the God-King has become the ruler of the universe, it is impossible for Father God and Mother God to rebel against His Majesty the God-King."

Leto's tearful eyes were filled with pleading. She clung tightly to Mnemosyne's legs: "His Majesty the God-King is so tolerant and merciful, and you and His Majesty the God-King are so close. My dear aunt, only you can save Father God and Mother God."

Although Steria is the younger sister, her personality is completely different from her older sister's; she is far stronger and more resilient.

However, even she, who was always so strong and valiant, couldn't stop crying at this moment, though she didn't cry as badly as her sister.

With a trembling voice, she pleaded, "My dear aunt, you are so learned, you know everything about the universe. You know how terrible Tartarus is, in that endless torment of nothingness, survival is worse than utter destruction."

In Asteria's desperate voice, there was a humble plea: "Please, go and beg His Majesty the God-King for mercy. Even if His Majesty the God-King is unwilling to release them, please ask His Majesty the God-King to change their place of confinement, as long as it is not in Tartarus, anywhere is fine."

Mnemosyne's intelligent face also showed sorrow. She sighed and said helplessly, "Child, where else in this world, besides Tartarus, can we, the primordial Titans, be imprisoned?"

"Your promises are meaningless because you can never make decisions for your parents. If you could, things wouldn't have escalated to this point."

Mnemosyne gently shook her head and said softly, "Don't cry anymore, children. No matter how many tears you shed in front of me, it's useless and can't change the established facts."

“Things are not as simple as you think. You don’t understand the God-King, but I understand everything about Him. Only He can change His decisions.”

"You don't need to worry anymore. Things haven't completely reached the point of no return. As long as they exist, even if they suffer some torment, there is always hope." "The God-King is the God of hope. He will not easily extinguish the hope of any living being."

"But any turning point won't come now."

"The new divine order has just been established, and the universe has just gotten on the right track. The God-King has too many things to do, and it is best for no god to disturb Him with this matter."

“You must remember that only what the God-King bestows upon you is truly yours. Never force what the God-King is unwilling to do. That will only backfire and bring about a more terrible result, one that you cannot bear.”

Upon hearing this, Asteria's tear-streaked face gradually stopped crying, and the weakness in her eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by a firmness and determination.

She remained kneeling at Mnemosyne's feet, holding her warm, jade-like hands in her own, looking up at the all-knowing goddess, and humbly pleading, "Dear Aunt, you are so wise, you are the embodiment of civilization, you know all the mysteries of the world. Please guide me on the right path, how should we proceed?"

Delicate Leto's sobs were unstoppable; she remained sobbing, her body buried in Mnemosyne's lap. Her tears had long since soaked Mnemosyne's gauze dress, the star-studded fabric now bearing the marks of her sorrow.

As a mother goddess herself, her tears that fell to the ground transformed into countless sorrowful little sprites.

They were adorable fairies, no bigger than a finger and with gray, translucent wings, now lying on the ground with her, weeping bitterly, their sorrowful cries echoing throughout the palace.

Hearing Asteria's words, she barely managed to lift her tear-streaked head, her hazy, tearful eyes filled with pleading and hope as she looked expectantly at Mnemosyne.

Mnemosyne sighed again. With a soft heart, she looked at the two pitiful children and couldn't bring herself to refuse them.

She hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "One of the goddesses most valued by the God-King is the Goddess of Procreation."

"The goddess Hera holds a very special and important place in the heart of the god-king."

At this point, even the most intellectual, refined, and insightful goddess of civilization's memory couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Knowing everything about the universe, she began paying attention to Zeus long ago.

For immeasurable amounts of time, in endless solitude, she rejoiced and raged with Zeus, she paid attention to everything about Zeus, and grew alongside Zeus.

She had long since devoted everything to Zeus; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so devoted to him, obeying his every whim and following his every command.

It's even more impossible that she would so easily and willingly hand over everything to Zeus without reservation.

Even though she, rational and serene, knew very well that Zeus would never love only one goddess.

The Amorous God King had such a broad mind that he could encompass the entire universe, including many goddesses.

But she was still willing and had no regrets.

However, she is, after all, a goddess, and any woman would be jealous!

No matter how intellectual, rational, insightful, or wise you are, it's all useless!
Mnemosyne withdrew her brief thoughts, suppressed the jealous feeling, and continued, "Actually, your parents are not taken seriously by the God-King. The main reason your parents angered the God-King is that they injured the Goddess of Fertility during the war. The God-King was furious about this, and the Goddess of Fertility also remembers this grudge."

"Furthermore, there is a natural conflict and overlap between the authority held by your parents, the intellectual authority of insight and prophecy, and the divine authority of wisdom of Metis, the ocean goddess, who is another beloved of the God-King."

"So, if Hera stops pursuing this matter and is willing to forgive your parents, and your parents are willing to relinquish the insightful intellectual authority that conflicts with Metis, then there is nothing to worry about."

"The God-King possesses the supreme authority to divide; He controls everything. As long as Coeus and Phoebe are willing to relinquish their powers, the God-King can divide divinity and law."

"Hera is the great mother goddess of fertility and childbirth. Her nature is the most loving and gentle. If you sincerely beg her for forgiveness, it will not be a difficult thing."

"As for Metis, the goddess of wisdom, she is the daughter of the ocean god and is of a pure, kind, and gentle nature. She had no intention of tormenting your parents."

"Furthermore, Oceanus and his wife are always gentle and compassionate, and Coeus and Phoebe are our relatives. Considering this, the goddess of wisdom will not hold a grudge and will take this affection into consideration."

"So, my children, if you can beg Hera, the goddess of fertility, for forgiveness, I can ask the King of Gods for an opportunity for you, an opportunity for you to see your parents again."

“If you can persuade them to voluntarily relinquish their authority and power, then receiving forgiveness and regaining freedom is not an impossible thing.”
