Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 195 Poseidon, you're in for a beating today! (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month~~~)

Prometheus is a wise god who, with just one glance, is confident, optimistic, quick-witted, and full of intelligence.

Epimetheus, on the other hand, appeared to be somewhat dull and slow-witted, with a hint of naivety and recklessness in his expression. He seemed to be the kind of god who wasn't very clever.

Zeus entrusted the invaluable responsibility of creating life to Prometheus, a decision that all the gods could understand, given Prometheus's renowned wisdom.

However, the gods really couldn't understand why they entrusted the task to the unknown, no, the notoriously "foolish" Epimetheus.

Menotius had just committed a heinous act!
It's impossible to bestow such a great honor upon both of His brothers at the same time, is it?
After much deliberation, the gods could only conclude that this was a gift bestowed upon Prometheus by the King of Gods, a supreme grace granted to his brothers by His Majesty the King of Gods.

The God-King truly dealt with the matter objectively and did not hold His God accountable! He also genuinely valued the gods around him!
Zeus's deep, bright golden eyes gazed meaningfully at the two kneeling gods, and he slowly said, "Rise. Go and travel far and wide, and then begin creating life. Create whatever the universe lacks. Let the universe truly and thoroughly flourish."

After loudly expressing their gratitude, the two "brothers," the "foresightful" and the "hindsightful," slowly got up.

Prometheus remained on Zeus's right, while Epimetheus, once again, silently merged into the ranks of the gods.

The power of "creation" once held by the ancient god-king Cronus is currently in a state of vacancy. After the establishment of the celestial order, the god-king Zeus will be the supreme controller of this power.

Although the law of "creation" still has its true master god, this master god is currently in a "dormant" state, so in reality, everything is decided by Zeus.

Furthermore, under the new Heavenly Order, the Law of "Creation" has gathered the authority of many great gods, and if used properly, it can unleash a more brilliant and colorful radiance than that of the old God-King.

In addition, Zeus also needs to truly reclaim these fundamental laws of the universe.

Zeus surveyed the gods in the hall once more, then gently tapped the ground with his thunder scepter, producing a crisp sound. Divine wine and delicacies then fell like rain, each serving a portion from the divine hand.

The gods all raised their hands carefully to accept the gift, and cheered in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! Your Majesty is infinitely kind!"

Zeus smiled and said slowly, "Gods, remember your duties and strictly abide by the sacred and just order. Go, all of you! Let this universe flourish completely!"

"Heaven will always open its doors to all the souls of those who have done good deeds!"

"As you command, Your Majesty the Eternal and Immortal God-King!" the gods proclaimed in unison.

Subsequently, the many mortal deities and fairies who had come to pay homage bowed and took their leave.

Soon, only the great gods of Olympus and their respective subordinate gods remained in this magnificent temple.

They would naturally leave only after all the gods had departed; they could not possibly leave with these mortal deities.

Just after the gods retreated, Zeus's originally gentle eyes instantly turned cold and sharp!
He turned his gaze to Poseidon, who had always kept a low profile!
Without a word, he raised the Thunder Scepter high in his hand, and a huge golden lightning bolt, containing the endless divine power and wrath of the God-King, struck the uneasy Poseidon down from his divine throne like a spear of divine punishment!

"Ah—" Poseidon screamed, and then the screams never stopped.

Because immediately afterward, countless bolts of lightning, like a violent storm, relentlessly struck His divine body!
Bolts of lightning, powerful enough to tear the sky apart, mercilessly shattered His fully extended, incomparably majestic divine body into pieces!

Poseidon, who was secretly relieved that he was alright after watching the grand ceremony of the gods come to a successful conclusion, was struck by the sudden and violent lightning and screamed in agony before he could react at all!

Of course, even if He realized it, it would be useless. There was no way He could escape this beating.

Even though His divine body had been shattered to pieces, Zeus, sitting on his throne, showed no sign of stopping.

Even more ferocious thunder dragons and electric serpents roared out incessantly, tearing, ramming, and whipping Poseidon's already broken divine body, smashing him all the way down from the magnificent temple atop Olympus!

Poseidon, traveling at a speed exceeding the speed of light, was whipped and tumbled by even more violent lightning, until he crashed onto the vast earth like a meteorite!
The entire earth trembled violently three times as a result! The rolling, dilapidated divine body reshaped and altered the appearance of endless mountains and rivers!
But this is not over yet!
Even more violent thunder and lightning continued their relentless pursuit, striking the already dying Poseidon!

Until His shattered divine body smashed open a bottomless abyss across the boundless earth, and He fell helplessly into the underworld, where He was eventually struck into the icy River Styx.

The god-king, his face cold and expressionless, finally withdrew the lightning that was still crackling with electricity.

Poseidon, now submerged at the bottom of the icy River Styx, has a broken divine body and dimmed divinity, just like a rag doll that has been utterly ravaged and broken.

Zeus coldly said, "Let Poseidon soak in the sacred waters of the Styx for ten thousand years. His foolish mind needs the cold water to clear its head."

The gods were all startled by this sudden change, but the great gods present quickly came to their senses.

Poseidon must have done something wrong!
It's highly likely that it's about Menotius.

This Aquaman might be one of them!
Inside the temple, the lingering power of the thunder had not completely dissipated, and the aura of destructive divine power still lingered in every corner. Oceanus and Pontus were now completely clear-headed and had no more doubts.

Although His Majesty the King of Gods did not say it explicitly, judging from His Majesty the King of Gods’ thunderous rage and considering what had happened before, Poseidon’s miserable state must be inextricably linked to Menotius!

It might even have been Poseidon who instigated it!

Otherwise, it's really hard to understand how His Majesty the God-King, with his kind and benevolent nature, could be so cruel to his own brothers.

Everything makes sense!
How could that fool Menotius know anything about Amatea, let alone think of using her to coerce His Majesty?!

'That wretched Poseidon!'

Now, both gods harbored a grudge against Poseidon.

Gaia, the mother goddess of all things, also gritted her teeth inwardly, thinking, "A pair of hopeless fools!"

Her slender, delicate hands clenched tightly beneath her sleeves as she cursed inwardly: "These two bastards! They not only courted their own deaths, but they also dragged down my long-term plans, causing them to fall into ruin in an instant!"
I've made a note of this!
The holy and loving Mother Goddess Rhea watched as Poseidon was brutally beaten and fell into the underworld, looking miserable and wretched, with no hope of ever escaping for ten thousand years. As the Mother Goddess, she felt both helpless and heartbroken.

But being astute as she was, she knew the reason with just a little thought, and aside from letting out a deep sigh, she ultimately said nothing.

Of all her children, Poseidon was the most troublesome.

Although her three daughters often caused her, as a mother, worry about their emotional destinations, she was at ease with their personalities, and their relationship remained close and intimate.

After all, there are too many external enemies.

Of her three sons, Zeus was the one she was most proud of and trusted, and he was the undisputed core of the entire family.

Hades, though taciturn, is also steady and reliable, always handling matters with diligence and meticulousness, making him a trustworthy and dependable god.

But Poseidon, her son, was the only one who gave her a real headache.

Like its origins, "sea" and "earthquake," it is impatient, unpredictable, and prone to outbursts.

What's even more troublesome is that He inherited the arrogance of Cronus, who was born to control all things, and was naturally proud and arrogant. He was unwilling to submit to the gods and had always been unconvinced by Zeus.

Even though He knew He was inferior to Zeus, He still refused to accept it.

This stubbornness has always been a major headache for her as a mother.

Of course, He was not without merit. The few commendable qualities He possessed were his unwavering courage to act decisively and his unparalleled execution ability.

Moreover, He also knew to stay close to His closest relatives and always held His mother, the Goddess, in the highest esteem.

Although He is really too mischievous and not very obedient.

Now, watching her brothers quarrel, Mother Goddess Rhea could only sigh deeply.

But she also knew that Zeus's actions were already extremely lenient.

Looking at all the gods in the entire universe, no matter who it was, committing such a grave offense and doing something that violated the absolute taboo of the God-King would have been unthinkable.

The only possible outcome now is for him to join Menotius in the eternal void of Tartarus.

Only Poseidon and a few other deities connected to the King of Gods by blood have been given a severe beating and confined for a period of time.

Zeus's actions already showed a strong bias and affection for his foolish brother.

After dealing with Poseidon, Zeus's majestic and dignified face remained frosty, and he offered no explanation to the astonishment and speculation of the gods in the temple.

Instead, it turned its golden eyes, which contained thunder, directly to the first seat on the right of the throne, to the great Mother Goddess of All Things.

When Gaia was swept by Zeus's sudden gaze, her divine nature trembled for no reason, as if she were completely naked and being seen through.

However, she managed to maintain a composed expression on her elegant and exquisitely beautiful face.
