Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 17 Queen Rhea
What a magnificent deity! Tall and majestic, handsome and awe-inspiring, with golden hair and holy, pure golden eyes, always sporting a sunny and warm smile, always so confident and cheerful, full of vitality.

As for His power, no one knows exactly how powerful He is; His might is unfathomable.

All we know is that when He had just left the cradle and was able to fly freely in the sky to play with the goat goddess Amartea, He easily broke off her strongest horn.

Amartea is a true deity, and the earth mother goddess created by Gaia herself. She has an extremely strong physical body, and her ram horns are indestructible.

Yet it was still easily broken during play, and the ram's horn that Zeus broke off could never grow back.

From then on, Amalthea refused to take human form whenever there were many people around.

Her original human form was a human body with a human face, but she had ram horns on her head and ram hooves below her knees.

She was always most proud of her beautiful ram's horns, but now she only had one left, which made her feel extremely embarrassed and ashamed.

Zeus looked at the silly goddess who often cried while holding her broken ram horn, and felt quite embarrassed by her resentful eyes.

She solemnly promised to find a way to restore her to human form, so the Goat Goddess was determined never to return to human form until she was restored!
Zeus is no longer worried that Cronus will "see" Him. Now that He can freely use His divine power, He is no longer afraid, as His divine power can perfectly conceal Himself.

Zeus looked up at the infinitely distant sky, then at his own large hands. He knew that the time had come.

The great goddess Rhea once again descended from the infinitely majestic Mount Otyrus to secretly visit her only surviving child.

Her only hope.

The physical embodiment of Rhea is an exquisitely beautiful and gentle bride. Unlike others, her hair is a constantly changing display of billions of warm, iridescent lights, representing the fluidity and vitality of the world, beautiful and full of life.

The material world is becoming more and more perfect, more and more colorful, and more and more beautiful.

In order for the gods to experience the beauty of all things in the world and enjoy the world to their heart's content, the physical forms that all the gods now manifest are the best and most perfect forms that Gaia, the mother goddess, and all the gods have painstakingly created over countless years.

That is, the humanoid form that came later.

It should actually be called divine form, and human form is created in the appearance of God, so it is naturally superior to God's other creations, with higher talents and potential, and may even be favored by the gods because of the same appearance.

Unlike mortals, gods add their own essential characteristics to their initial divine forms, which makes them all different in reality.

It can be understood as the gods working together to create a universal template, and then when the gods create their own entities, they freely create on this universal template.

The outward manifestation of the physical form depends on the individual preferences and creative abilities of each god, revealing their personality and power.

For the gods who embody the law, physical entities are important, but not essential.

That was merely a manufactured body, a tool for them to better entertain the world, not their essence. Their essence was the law itself.

If you don't consider combat, it's very simple and you can create whatever you want.

However, that doesn't mean it's unimportant. The better the physical creation, the more one can enjoy this world, and it also requires effort to create.

If we consider combat, then the divine body becomes extremely important, as it directly determines the power and defense of the deity.

Repairing something that's broken is easy; the real challenge lies in original creation, in bringing something from nothing. If something is completely destroyed, starting all over again would be too painful for God, as it would mean a long and arduous process of rebuilding.

Repairing is simple, rebuilding is difficult, and innovation is even more difficult.

To put it bluntly, it's like building and decorating your own house, and the final result depends entirely on your own abilities, testing the creativity, wisdom, and power of the gods.

Those who lack the ability must ask the gods for help.

Although the God of Laws is the embodiment of the laws, this is only the essence.

They are born of spirituality from the law and inherently possess the supreme authority over this law, but this does not mean they can completely influence everything.

In particular, many laws are not suitable for combat and competition, and some laws require the cooperation of other laws to achieve their maximum effect.

Furthermore, while all are laws, some are completely unrelated, and some laws cannot affect others at all. Of course, some can completely suppress others, demonstrating the interplay of mutual generation and restraint among laws.

In practice, it mainly comes down to whether God can apply the laws and bring their power to its fullest potential.

Many laws that are not good at combat, or whose opponent's laws are not affected by them or are even suppressed, can only rely on the battle of divine bodies. This is when the importance of creating a powerful divine body becomes apparent.

Moreover, as a god, no matter what kind of god, in a material world, one must take on a physical form in order to fully enjoy the beauty of the world and experience all things in it.

A god of laws is difficult to destroy, but a god's body can. Once the body is destroyed, one can only immerse oneself in the laws in a dull and monotonous way, unable to enjoy the beauty of the world. For gods accustomed to the beauty of the world, this is an extremely painful thing.

In summary, the divine body is not a fatal thing to the God of Laws, but it is an extremely valuable asset, the vessel through which they enjoy the world and exert their power.

The new laws conceived by the God of Laws also have different choices: one is that they come with a physical form, and the other is that they do not come with a physical form.

With its own physical form nurtured by God, the process of gestation will be faster and more complete. Most importantly, it can seize the laws and fully master their power the fastest.

Cronus's cruelty lies in this: He could have chosen to simply nurture the laws and devour them before they gained sentience, which wouldn't have been so cruel, just a cold-blooded resource integration.

However, in order to maximize his own interests, He forced Rhea to create the best child with him.

An incarnation of the law, possessing an innate physical form, spirituality, and divine consciousness.

It would be too cruel to devour this most difficult-to-digest yet most perfect law.

He is the only one among the gods to do this.

Furthermore, the union of the gods can also produce only pure life, without any laws involved.

The strength and potential of a child born depends on the physical strength of the person who gave birth, as well as their subsequent growth.

However, such life forms are easy to destroy because they lack the fundamental laws that underpin them.

Laws are difficult to destroy, and even usurping them is challenging, but a pure physical body is far too easy to destroy; there are countless ways to do so.
