Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 147 Relying on oneself is worse than relying on others

Despite her deep anxiety, Leto's clear face remained resolute.

Unlike her sister, whose anxiety was almost overwhelming, she gently shook her head and said in a calm and steady tone, "My dear sister, please don't worry too much. I believe that the goddess of fertility will not leave Olympus."

"His Majesty the God-King will not allow it. And Hera herself will not be willing to do so either."

"Hmm?" Leto looked at her sister in confusion, and then she too fell into deep thought.

The clear-headed Asteria calmly analyzed to her sister: "Did you hear His Majesty the God-King address the Goddess of Fertility today?"

Leto's cherry-like lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with surprise: "You mean..."

Asteria nodded emphatically, her eyes filled with affirmation.

"But doesn't His Majesty the King of Gods already have the goddess of wisdom, Metis?"

"It is said that they are deeply in love. His Majesty the God-King even declared in front of the entire universe at the grand ceremony of all the gods that the Goddess of Wisdom is His beloved." The innocent young goddess was still slightly puzzled.

Asteria's lips curled up slightly, carrying a hint of mockery that was almost imperceptible when it came to love: "Your Majesty the God-King can always do whatever you want."

"Your Majesty the Great God-King, there is always so much that He desires. If He so desires, what is there that He cannot obtain?"

"The reason why the Goddess of Fertility has been depressed and absent-minded lately is now clear: it is because of His Majesty the Great God-King."

Leto sighed again, his voice filled with sympathy: "Hera was such a wonderful goddess, but..."

Asteria's expression remained aloof as she said calmly, "Who wouldn't like His Majesty the God-King?"

"His Majesty the God-King has accomplished unparalleled feats. He is the supreme ruler of this boundless universe, single-handedly establishing a completely new cosmic order and changing the entire world."

"He is the most courageous, the strongest, and the wisest of gods, the god among gods, the king of all gods. In every war in the past, it was always He who bravely took the lead and charged ahead."

"In such a fierce and glorious battle, His figure captivated the hearts of all the goddesses. Isn't that only natural?"

Upon hearing this, Leto nodded in agreement: "You're right. It seems that His Majesty the God-King also deeply loves the Goddess of Fertility. Our Mother Goddess must have been so badly injured by His Majesty the God-King during her first battle because of this."

"No wonder the goddess of civilization's memory said that only Hera can help us, and only with her help can we hope to save our father and mother."

Asteria nodded: "Today, His Majesty the King of Gods forgave us without hesitation. All of this is for the sake of Hera. You see, Hera didn't even have to say a word; her very existence is the most powerful plea."

"The Fountain of Memory was right after all. Hera is an extremely special and important goddess in the heart of the God-King."

Leto's charming face revealed undisguised envy: "Hera is so lucky. She has the love of the King of Gods. There should be nothing in this universe that can stump her."

She suddenly realized, "Indeed! If His Majesty the King of Gods also loves Hera as deeply, then He would absolutely not allow Hera to leave Olympus! If His Majesty the King of Gods does not want something to happen, then it cannot happen."

Asteria glanced helplessly at her naive older sister and said in an even more exasperated tone, "Sister, His Majesty the King of Gods loves more than just Hera. Right now, publicly proclaiming to the whole world that it is Metis, the goddess of wisdom!"

"The Goddess of Wisdom is now His Majesty the God-King's rightful wife."

She paused, lowered her voice, and continued, "In fact, it's not just the goddess of wisdom and fertility. I've been secretly observing that several other supreme goddesses on Mount Olympus seem to be in low spirits lately."

"Logically speaking, now that the new order has just been implemented, all the gods should be enjoying supreme glory and honor, and should be in a good mood. But instead, they are all depressed."

"Now it seems that the source of all this is our great God-King."

Leto waved her slender hand dismissively and said, "None of that matters. It's not something we can control, much less something we can discuss."

"Although we have been pardoned by His Majesty the God-King, on this Mount Olympus, the status of us sisters is still so insignificant as to be negligible."

"We only need to know one thing. Hera is the most special one in His Majesty the God-King's heart. And the only one we can rely on is Hera."

"Therefore, we must do our best to serve Hera. Hera is our only hope now. With Hera's help, it may not be impossible to rescue our father and mother in the future."

Asteria paused for a moment, then slowly nodded.

My sister is right; I was indeed thinking too much and too far ahead.

In Olympus, the center of the cosmic order, what are the two sisters compared to each other?

Being able to live openly and honestly in this world is already a huge step forward.

Leto's melancholy dissipated considerably, and she smiled, her beautiful peach blossom eyes brimming with indescribable charm. "His Majesty the God-King's amorousness, perhaps, is not a bad thing for us. On the contrary, it might even be a good thing."

“Tomorrow, we will go to see Hera again. By then, we should know the result. If Hera has really given up the idea of ​​leaving Olympus, then we can be sure that our chances are even greater.”

Asteria nodded emphatically.

Leto turned his head and looked out the window.

The sun is setting on the horizon.

The Lord of Light of the world is about to hand over the reins to His aloof sister.

The bright and clear moonlight will soon replace the warm sunlight, illuminating the whole world.

The world order is indeed much better than it used to be.

Ultimately, it's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help.

His Majesty the God-King is a passionate God-King.

Maybe
The gentle Leto, with her charming peach blossom eyes, became even brighter and more radiant in the afterglow of the setting sun and the approaching moonlight.

Asteria, however, harbored unspoken worries: 'If the goddess of fertility truly clashes with the goddess of wisdom, then my sisters, as servants of Hera, will likely face dire consequences.'

'The goddess of wisdom couldn't subdue the goddess of fertility, but couldn't she control those close to Hera whose origins were questionable?'

As for Zeus, after leaving Hera, he did not return to the palace. Seeing that night was approaching, he went straight to the underworld to appease the extremely impatient goddess Nyx.

The matter of the Heavenly Dao System and the God Network also needs to be communicated to Nyx in advance.

While you're at it, throw the Atlas brothers into the ocean.

This was not something He needed to do personally; it was just something that happened by chance.

The main reason is that He has not seen the Lady of Night since the end of the Great Ceremony of the Gods.

The Lady of the Night, deeply in love, is now like a young girl in love, thinking of Him day and night, and has sent her longing to Him several times on the night breeze.

In the two most recent messages delivered by the night wind, there was a clear hint of resentment and displeasure, indicating a strong dissatisfaction.

If we don't go check on her soon, this lady of the night, who's just tasted love, is definitely going to cause a scene.

The Lady of Night has worked so hard to build the Underworld during this time; she deserves some reward for her efforts.

After the establishment of the Underworld, Hades guarded it, working tirelessly day and night to rejuvenate the new world.

After all, it is a newly created world, and it is as vast as the world itself. It would definitely take hundreds or thousands of years to sort it out and get it on the right track.

Lady of the Night is also enthusiastically building this world into which the God of Night has fully integrated. Although the underworld is quiet and desolate, Zeus has already introduced ocean currents into it, and with proper construction, its potential is limitless.

Lady Night felt great in every way lately, except for one thing—she couldn't see Zeus!

As for Hades, He was purely a tool god, and remained completely silent.

As the primordial Great Mother Goddess, Lady Nyx naturally possessed her own pride, and she only thought of Zeus, who was her true form.

She can tolerate and grit her teeth and endure everything else, but on this matter, the Goddess of the Night says she can't tolerate it at all!
Under the cover of night, Zeus quietly (crossed out) openly arrived at the underworld, and upon seeing the current state of the underworld, nodded in satisfaction.

Thanks to Hades, the goddess of night, Styx, and some Oceanids who helped, the newly formed underworld has begun to take shape after a period of hard work.

Although it still looks rough and empty overall, at least the framework has been built and it can barely function normally.

Before Zeus could even properly survey the area, accompanied by the fragrant breeze of night dew, the Lady of the Night, who had sensed Zeus's entry into the underworld, had already arrived beside him.

This goddess of the night, with her cold and aloof demeanor and breathtaking beauty, now wore a face full of resentment and displeasure on her flawless features.

Then she threw herself into Zeus's arms without hesitation.

Nyx's charge with the ball startled Zeus, who immediately embraced the shapely Lady of the Night, showering her with sweet words: "My dear Nyx, what troubles you that dared to provoke my beautiful Lord of the Night and upset you so much?"
