Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 166 I've Come to See the Goddess Who Stole My Husband

Even with a god lying on her lap, and even with immense tension and panic churning within her, this sacred and righteous goddess still stood tall and straight, like a pine tree atop a mountain.

Although her pure and delicate body had actually become somewhat stiff due to excessive tension.

After Zeus fell into a deep sleep, her hands seemed rather helpless, and for a moment she didn't know where to put them.

After hesitating for a long time, the goddess of justice finally slowly raised her slender, long, yet equally powerful hand and gently placed it on Zeus's face.

She couldn't see Zeus's face, nor dared to make any big movements, for fear of disturbing Zeus's rare moment of rest.

This rare peace, belonging only to the two of them, gradually calmed and soothed her previously chaotic heart.

She feared that Zeus would do something wicked and break her principles, but she also genuinely wanted to be close to Zeus; this peaceful scene was what she had always dreamed of.

Her delicate hands gently, earnestly, and carefully caressed Zeus's handsome, angular face.

Zeus's face was gradually and clearly etched into her mind.

The goddess of justice gradually calmed down, and endless tenderness welled up from the depths of her divinity.

Her originally aloof, dignified, and flawless face was quietly becoming softer and more charming in this place where no god could see it. Even her sharp, sword-like eyebrows had become more gentle.

All tenderness now surfaced in those sacred golden eyes, as if the most dazzling gold dust had been blended into the warmest sunlight.

The goddess of divine justice and order, she was destined to be, and could only be, a charming and delicate goddess in Zeus's arms.

Originating from a primal, fated attachment and affinity, she was utterly powerless and had no desire to resist Zeus in the slightest.

While Zeus was sleeping peacefully in the arms of the goddess of divine justice and order, the goddess of wisdom had already begun her actions.

Her first stop was to find the goddess Mnemosyne, who had just been united with the God-King for nine days and nine nights, sharing civilization and memories.

This wise goddess, except when she is in the presence of Zeus, will have all her wisdom completely absorbed by His ardent love.

Before any other deity, or even anything else, she is absolutely worthy of her title as "Goddess of Wisdom".

Now that we've made up our minds, let's take the initiative and seize absolute control!

It doesn't matter if I can't have Zeus all to myself; what matters is that I must become Zeus's favorite goddess!

She too shall become the greatest of all Zeus’s beloved goddesses!
This goddess of civilization's memory, who has just been punished by Zeus, will certainly not dare to be so arrogant anymore; she is worth a warning and some efforts to win her over.

As for Lady Night, Metis had absolutely no intention of winning her over.

That goddess was too ancient and noble, and her temperament was only obedient and gentle in front of Zeus. Apart from that, there were very few gods who could be regarded with respect by her.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, that goddess is both greedy and irritable, not a good person to win over. It would be better to suppress the greedy darkness.

At this moment, Mnemosyne, who was confined to her quarters and forbidden from drinking alcohol, was lounging listlessly on her divine throne.

Her nine newborn muse daughters, in an effort to soothe their mother's slightly somber mood, sang, danced, and recited hymns, each displaying their unique talents.

Looking at her lovely and beautiful children, Mnemosyne's mood was no longer so low.

However, I still felt somewhat wronged.

Damn Zeus! Why isn't he coming to appease me?!

Ha! Once you get your dream guy, you stop treasuring him!
It was inevitable that she felt resentful, but in reality, the all-knowing goddess was not in a hurry.

Based on her understanding of Zeus, she believed that it wouldn't be long before Zeus would come looking for her again.

Putting everything else aside, Zeus would definitely be tempted.

She's even considering making some more attractive and novel clothing.

She thought to herself, Zeus seems to really like those things that mortals call "stockings" and "high heels".

The all-knowing goddess looked at her legs, which Zeus loved so much, and her bare, jade-like feet, which resembled tender spring buds. She raised the corners of her lips and smiled smugly.

How could her beloved God-King bear to stay away from her for so long?
Oh, by the way, should we add some lace trim? What style of stockings do you want? Black or white? Hmm, purple would be nice too, it seems quite charming.

However, Zeus seems to be genuinely angry this time.

Given Zeus's personality, he must be unhappy about this mess.

I should prepare a little surprise for Him and coax Him properly.

The all-knowing goddess knew Zeus would come, and she had already devised a plan.

But to her utter surprise, it was Metis who arrived first.

However, she only needed a moment's thought to understand Metis's purpose. She was quite surprised, never expecting Metis to be so open-minded and broad-minded.

After receiving the message from the elemental spirits outside the temple, she carefully tidied her clothes and then personally went out of the temple to greet Metis's arrival.

At the same time, she also told her daughters to return to their own temples for the time being.

Children should not be involved in matters concerning the Great Mother Goddess.

This all-knowing goddess felt neither embarrassed nor guilty when facing Metis.

The omniscient goddess knows too much; Zeus is destined to be her husband, so why is she feeling guilty?

In addition, although she was not as magnanimous as Metis, she was quite open-minded and not prone to jealousy.

If someone is truly prone to jealousy, then there's no end to the jealousy they can have.

Thus, "omniscience" and "wisdom" met before this temple of civilization and memory.

With a gentle smile characteristic of ocean girls on her pretty face, Metis spoke first: "Dear Goddess of Civilization Memory, thank you for welcoming me in person."

The goddess of civilization and memory has always been dignified and serene in the presence of any other deity.

Her charm and allure were only ever displayed before Zeus.

She smiled gently and replied softly, "Dear Goddess of Wisdom, welcome. Your arrival makes my little temple shine even brighter."

As she spoke, she stepped forward and naturally took Metis's little hand, leading them into the temple together.

The two noble goddesses sat side by side, their perfect pair radiating light throughout the temple.

It seems that the two goddesses are getting along very well.

Mnemosyne asked with a smile, "Your esteemed wisdom and insight, may I ask what important matter brings you to see me today?"

The goddess of wisdom smiled slightly, her tone gentle, but her words were extremely sharp: "I came to see what kind of goddess she is, the one who 'stole' my beloved god and gave birth to nine adorable children that even the gods envy."

The smile on the face of the goddess of civilization and memory froze for a moment, but only for a second before returning to normal.

However, the warmth in her smile was completely gone.

With a polite smile, she said softly, "No god can take away the great God-King; everything is the God-King's will. Because the God-King loves me, I am destined to nestle in the God-King's embrace."

"As for my lovely children with the King of Gods, they were conceived under the King of Gods' will. All of this is because Zeus liked them, so they came into being."

"There's nothing I can do. Zeus loves me, and he loves adorable children too. He can't live without me."

"Ah, right."

The omniscient goddess suddenly changed the subject, asking in a seemingly concerned tone, "My dear Metis, why haven't you and His Majesty the King of Gods conceived a child yet?"

Metis originally intended to strike first and overwhelm Mnemosyne in terms of momentum.

However, she never expected that her powerful attack would be easily countered by her opponent.

This civilized goddess truly "exposes someone's shortcomings before insulting them."

After hearing the omniscient goddess's last words, she was immediately furious.

She herself was puzzled as to why Zeus did not have a child with her.
The other two goddesses have already had children.

Her own laws are quite good, and Zeus absolutely loves her.

Why didn't Zeus have a child with her? She had even thought of names for the child!
But that's not important right now; what's important is to refute it first!
Before she could even speak, the omniscient goddess seemed to have suddenly realized something and said in a slightly exaggerated tone, "Oh~ I understand."

“My dear Metis, you are truly the envy of the gods!”

"This must be because Zeus loves you so much; He wants to have the most powerful and wisest child with you!"

"Will it give birth to an unprecedentedly powerful deity, a being even wiser and more powerful than His great Father, and ultimately become the supreme ruler of all living beings in this universe?"

Upon hearing these words from the goddess of memory, Metis's expression changed drastically. Her pretty face, which had been wearing a polite smile, turned deathly pale in an instant. She hurriedly said, "Goddess Mnemosyne, how is this possible?"

Please stop saying such meaningless things!

She straightened her body and declared with unwavering resolve: "Zeus, only Zeus, is the eternal supreme ruler of this universe, the sole and eternal master of all living beings!"

"All living beings in the universe are only children of Zeus!"

"Zeus is all wisdom, all power, and all ruler; no god can transgress this!"
