Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 144 The Promiscuous God Lord is Generally Very Loyal
After Zeus left, the lively and joyous banquet became nothing but jarring noise to her ears.

She immediately stood up, without saying goodbye to anyone, and turned to leave without any hesitation.

She returned to the temple that belonged to her, yet was cold and desolate.

Hera's bright and beautiful face was now filled with an overwhelming sense of melancholy and depression.

Leto and Asteria, who came to greet her, were both surprised and uneasy when they saw the goddess in this state.

They did not know why the great goddess Hera was so melancholy.

Although they hadn't been with Hera for long, they vaguely knew that Hera seemed to be depressed because of something special.

However, this was the first time they had ever seen such a somber atmosphere, as if even the light of divinity had been extinguished and deathly still.

The two women had just been sighing to each other in Hera's palace, filled with envy at the feast Zeus had held for Oceanus.

The gods truly envy an ancient elder like Oceanus who was willing to plead for his descendants and intercede with the king of the gods!

The two of them really didn't know how to face the gods of the Iapetus family.

Furthermore, although Hera had taken them in, Zeus had not yet officially declared them innocent. Therefore, they maintained an extremely low profile and naturally did not attend the banquet.

When Hera's distraught figure appeared at the temple gate, they immediately went to greet her and warmly welcomed their mistress into the temple.

With a sensitive heart, Leto asked softly and with concern in her gentle, babbling voice, "O mighty Hera, what has happened? What kind of dark clouds have obscured your sun-like radiance and made you so depressed?"

"If we are fortunate enough, we would like to be your most loyal listeners. Many things are easier to say than done."

Hera, with her flawless white arms, simply waved her hand gently and wearily.

How could she possibly confide her deepest vulnerabilities and pains to God?

Her voice carried a hollow resolve: "Leto, Asteria, go pack your things, we should leave."

"Let's go to the tranquil ocean; Olympus is no longer suitable for me."

Leto and Asteria were greatly alarmed upon hearing this.

Leave Olympus? How could that be!

We can't leave Olympus!
Only by getting closer to the God-King can one grasp that sliver of hope and beg for the God-King's forgiveness and grace.

If one were to actually go to that distant ocean at the edge of the world, then there would truly be no hope for the rest of one's life.

Asteria hurriedly stepped forward and said in a gentle yet urgent voice, "Honorable Goddess Hera, what has happened to make you have such thoughts?"

"Leaving Mount Olympus is tantamount to leaving behind the great King of Gods, and also leaving behind all the great gods who are closest to you!"

Asteria had no idea that her words of comfort would only strengthen Hera's resolve and dispel her final hesitation.

Hera's expression instantly turned serious, her brows furrowing. She said in an unyielding tone, "No need to say more. My mind is made up! You all, go and prepare now. We...we'll leave tomorrow."

The more perceptive Leto, with a quick mind, discerned the only opportunity for a turnaround.

She gently reminded her, "Hera, the Pantheon, proclaimed by His Majesty the King of Gods, is about to be held. As His Majesty the King of Gods' closest and most respected goddess, if you are not in Olympus at this time, wouldn't that damage His Majesty's supreme reputation?"

Hera was taken aback, and she fell into a long silence.

In the end, it all turned into a long, drawn-out sigh, filled with endless weariness.

The sigh dissipated into the cold air, like the snow lotus flowers that drifted and withered sadly on the summit of Mount Olympus.

"You guys go ahead and make preparations. As for when to leave, I'll think about it some more."

Leto and Asteria exchanged a quick glance, both seeing a hint of relief in each other's eyes.

They dared not say another word, bowed respectfully, and slowly retreated out of the hall.

Just as they reached the palace gate, they were stopped by a majestic and imposing figure exuding supreme authority.

It was Zeus who had just left the goddess of wisdom and come to find his beloved Hera.

The God of Promiscuity is generally very devoted; when facing one goddess, He usually doesn't think about another.

Maybe, probably.

Now is an exception.

Upon seeing Leto and Zeus of Asteria, the lustful king of the gods was immediately stirred by lust.

This is not His fault. As the two daughters of the primordial Titans, "Insightful Thinking" and "Clear Intelligence," their divinity and beauty are among the most outstanding and dazzling, even among the many goddesses and fairies in the entire universe.

If Coeus and Phoebe remain the foundation of the universe, then these two goddesses are still two of the noblest and most illustrious goddesses in the universe.

Leto is a goddess with a gentle and calm temperament, delicate and reserved charm, yet she is born with a touch of melancholy and softness that makes people feel sorry for her.

She possesses extraordinary thoughtfulness and gentleness; that tender, water-like quality, seemingly penetrating the depths of divinity, is irresistible to any masculine god.

She was gentle and graceful, with the brightest and whitest silver hair, like moonlight flowing down a still lake in the dead of night, silky and smooth.

Her full head of bright silver hair was casually draped over her voluptuous, slender, and curvaceous body.

Above that magnificent wellspring of life, symbolizing motherhood and nurturing, Zeus glanced at it casually, and almost couldn't tear his gaze away.

The abundance of life and the burning divinity contained in this divine body are in no way inferior to Hestia in terms of magnificence!
She truly deserves to be called the Great Mother Goddess of Nurturing! The baby cafeteria is so grand and spacious!

That divine charm, just by looking at it, one can know how sweet and fragrant it is, how intoxicating and soul-stirring it is!
Moreover, she was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes that contained endless affection, but her golden pupils, as bright as flowing clouds, always carried a hint of shyness and timidity, which was not at all like a generous and open-minded great mother goddess. This formed a wonderful contrast with her voluptuous divine body that belonged to a great mother goddess, making her even more alluring.

With a turn of her head, a lowered gaze, and a gentle smile, she was like a pool of spring water stirred by a breeze. And what was stirred was not just the spring water, but also the heart of everyone she met.

Zeus only glanced at it once, but he felt a slight itch within his divine nature.

As for Asteria, the goddess who perfectly inherited the clear intellect and divinity of Phoebe, she was incomparably bright, radiant, and dazzling.

In her eyes, there was a tenacity and chastity that was completely different from her sister's gentleness, like a dazzling shooting star that streaked across the eternal night.

She had radiant white hair, slightly different from her sister Leto, and a pair of eyes as pure as transparent glass.

Although her figure was not as voluptuous as Leto's, she was taller and more slender.

Especially her pair of straight, shapely, and slender legs. With Zeus's all-seeing eyes, he could tell at a glance that their perfection was second only to His beloved Hera.

However, her incredibly slender waist added another ten points to her charm.

The beauty of a woman lies first and foremost in her waist.

Without a doubt, Asteria before them was a natural, pure beauty with a stunning waist. Her slender waist, lightly tied with a ribbon, was enough to accentuate the perilous and majestic curves of her upper and lower body.

This is a wild and powerful steed, extremely difficult to tame.

Zeus was curious to know whether, if he had the chance to ride his horse and gallop freely, he would be able to completely tame this proud, fiery red steed, or be defeated by her supple yet powerful waist.

He naturally knew long ago that the two sisters had sided with Hera; on Mount Olympus, nothing could escape His sight.

He simply couldn't be bothered with such a trivial matter.

He had already accepted Hera's love, so why would He want to humiliate her?

Hera would forgive these two beautiful goddesses without hesitation if Hera asked!
No sooner said than done. In reality, Zeus merely gave the two goddesses a "simple" glance with the gaze of the king of the gods, without rudely staring at them for a while.

In his deep, magnetic voice, he asked softly, "Are you the children of Coeus and Phoebus?"

As soon as Zeus finished speaking, Hera's heart flew away the moment she heard that familiar voice, and then her figure flashed out from inside the palace.

The infatuated Hera, the pure-hearted Hera, the heartbroken Hera, could only gaze at Zeus in a daze, unable to utter a word.

Upon suddenly seeing the arrival of the King of Gods, the two sisters, who had been standing there in a daze, were instantly brought back to their senses by Zeus's words.

They hurriedly and hastily knelt down, pressing their foreheads tightly against the cold marble floor, and replied with utmost care and respect: "Your Majesty the Great God-King, Leto (Asteria), pays homage to the Supreme One."

“We are the daughters of Coeus and Phoebe.”

Zeus chuckled softly and said calmly, "Rise. Since my beloved Hera has accepted you, I hereby forgive you."

"From this day forward, you may live openly and honestly anywhere in the universe, or you may live in the sacred Olympus."

“Serve my beloved Hera well, and in the future, I will bestow upon you the honors you deserve.”

Zeus's words shocked and delighted the two sisters kneeling on the ground.

Before they could even process this immense blessing from heaven, they hurriedly kowtowed and said, “Great God-King! Your radiance shines throughout the universe! Thank you for your boundless tolerance and generosity! We, we will serve the illustrious and revered Goddess Hera with all our hearts!”

Zeus nodded slightly and uttered two words with majesty: "Go."

The two young goddesses, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, trembled as they said "Yes," then rose and respectfully withdrew slowly.
