Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 216 Mother Earth!

The warm-hearted Hestia suddenly smiled playfully and winked her beautiful red eyes at Zeus, easing the slightly stuffy atmosphere.

She continued, with a hint of sarcasm, "Even though you've already lost your reputation in this area, it's better than losing even more."

Zeus couldn't help but smile upon hearing this, and he tightened his arms around himself, deeply moved.

Warm-hearted Hestia is always the god who cares most about everything around her.

He held both of his beloved goddesses even tighter in his arms.

She sighed softly, "You are all my most beloved and most important goddesses. I only want to give you the best of everything."

“I have flaws that I cannot correct, and I have already caused you so much suffering. How could I bear to let you suffer even the slightest bit more, suffering that you shouldn’t have to endure?”

Hestia raised her hand and gently touched Zeus's lips.

Warm, soft fingertips pressed against Zeus's lips, stopping him from saying what he was about to say.

This embodiment of warm fire, with the gentlest smile on his face, said: "Zeus, my love, to have your love is the greatest fortune of my life, how could I possibly have any grievances to speak of?"

"How could you know how brilliant and radiant your great divinity is?"

"Having your love makes everything else in this world unimportant to me."

Demeter smiled sweetly, first kissing Zeus, then gently kissing Hestia's cheek.

She said softly, “My dear Hestia, we will always be the closest family, we will always be together, and no god can be closer to us.”

Hestia nodded slightly, but then suddenly remembered another deity, and her elegant brows furrowed slightly.

She said softly, "Zeus, and Hera. She is the most benevolent and gentle of the gods, but lately she really..."

At this point, Hestia gave Zeus a gentle glare and said in a rather unintimidating tone, "Zeus! You've really gone too far lately! You should go and comfort her!"

"How can you bear to let Hera stay so depressed? You're breaking her tender heart!"

These words reminded Demeter, who frowned sharply, then pushed Zeus away and took a step back.

She crossed her arms and said with a cold, sarcastic laugh, "His Majesty the God-King is busy with countless affairs. How could this supreme ruler possibly remember us poor sisters?"

"As for being sad? Ha! With so many goddesses adoring His Majesty the God-King, how could he possibly care about us insignificant sisters?"

Upon hearing this, Zeus immediately cried out in protest: "My dear Demeter, just as you said, we will always be the closest of lovers, how could I possibly forget you?"

"No matter when, I will always love you, always keep you in my heart, and always miss you the most."

"Hera, I don't want to hurt her feelings at all."

"I am going to the Netherworld because I have something extremely important to do. Come quickly, my dearest treasure, I have a gift for you."

Demeter gave a huff: "No matter what gift you give me, I will never forgive you so easily!"

Zeus smiled and forcefully pulled the half-hearted Demeter back into his arms.

The amorous god-king coaxed, "I'm giving you this gift not for a transaction."

"It's because I love you."

"It's because I want to give you the best and most suitable thing for you."

"All I want to see is your genuine, happy smile."

"My love, please lay down all your divine defenses."

Demeter rolled her eyes reproachfully, but she was quite pleased with Zeus's words.

She truly didn't want to leave the embrace of her beloved God King.

She did not hesitate at all when faced with Zeus's request.

He then revealed all his divine essence without reservation.

Even if it meant exposing everything about her to the God-King without any defenses, she did not hesitate.

Because she had absolute and complete faith in Zeus.

She willingly gave everything she had to Zeus.

Zeus clearly saw that within Demeter's boundless divinity, the infinitely brilliant authority over "agriculture" and "harvest" was dazzlingly radiant.

These two great powers, indispensable in all civilizations, shine brightly within Demeter's divinity.

This beauty has long transcended the limits of all language and writing.

Even the language and writing of the gods could not describe the supreme beauty of this great law. These two great laws, possessing infinite charm, captivated Zeus, who became deeply enamored with them and loved them forever.

Of all the civilizations and intelligent beings in the world, who would not respect and love agriculture, and who would not wish for a bountiful harvest?

Moreover, Zeus clearly saw that within the divinity of his beloved goddess lay the deepest and most profound love for him, intertwined with his own divinity and expressed with undisguised intensity.

Zeus took a deep breath and slowly calmed his agitated mind.

Then, from his own divinity, he took Cronus's law of "growth," as well as his own laws of "abundance" and "prosperity."

Furthermore, a portion of the "cyclical" law derived from Iapetus was fully integrated into Demeter's original law.

As for Cronus's authority to "harvest," He accepted it with a smile and merged it with the concepts of "harvesting" and "dividing" in His divinity.

At this moment, the six great laws of "agriculture," "harvest," "growth," "abundance," "prosperity," and part of "cycle" converge in the body of one god!
The most brilliant galaxy of life and vitality burst forth in an instant with an unprecedented brilliance that could illuminate the entire universe!
In an instant, all plants in the universe bloomed and all fruits ripened and fell.

A sacred fragrance, filled with happiness and contentment, permeates every corner of the world.

It was the warm fragrance of wheat ears under the sun and the sweetness of fresh fruit on the vines; it was the softness of straw in the twilight and the rich flavor of new grain in the bamboo basket.

It is the crisp tenderness of bean pods in the morning dew and the soft texture of ripe apricots on branches; it is the fragrance of sweet potatoes in the evening breeze and the delicious aroma of nuts in a bamboo sieve.

This most tender and sweetest harvest of happiness spread throughout the world with the winds of the divine king.

At this moment, all things and beings in the entire world, facing the direction of Olympus, uttered a silent hymn from the depths of their souls:

Praise be to you, Mother of all life!

Praise be to you, Mother Earth, the bountiful land!

(The name Demeter in ancient Greek means Mother Earth or Earth Mother, while Gaia means Earth itself.)
In this gift, Demeter perfected her already vast authority.

Her divine essence was sublimated and amplified in this moment.

This made her a great deity in the universe, one that no other being could be without.

From this moment on, she became the greatest Mother Goddess of the Earth!
Praise be to Demeter, the loving, compassionate, generous, and benevolent Mother Goddess of the Earth!
All living things in the world exist because of Mother Earth!

When Demeter came to her senses from the ascension of the laws, her beautiful emerald green eyes brimmed with an endless vitality, like a spring field.

And her love for Zeus, which she could not and did not want to hide, was as deep as the earth itself.

Demeter's temperament has also changed a bit, she has become more mature and has a more sophisticated air about her than a young goddess.

She nestled intimately into Zeus's arms like a soft vine.

She said in a soft, almost meltingly sweet voice, "Zeus, my love. Thank you, thank you so much. It is you who made my life complete."

Zeus gently stroked her soft, emerald-green hair and said softly, "My most beloved treasure, you will never need to thank me."

"You have given me the most precious gift. I am the one who should be saying thank you."

"My love, your flawless and sacred love is the most precious treasure in my life."

"No matter what I do, I can never repay your sacred love for me."

"Waaaaah~ Zeus~"

The Earth Mother, already deeply moved, could no longer contain her love for Zeus, which was as overwhelming as a river bursting its banks.

She took the initiative to offer the sweetest juice to the god-king she loved so dearly.

Her extremely passionate and infatuated demeanor caused Hestia, who was still standing to the side, to cough heavily several times.

If she didn't stop her, this Demeter, unable to control her emotions, was really going to put on a passionate drama right in front of her, a drama that disregarded everything and belonged only to the harvest.

Hestia felt no envy or jealousy at Zeus's doting affection for Demeter; she was simply genuinely happy for Demeter.

Because she is such a warm and loving goddess.

At this moment, Demeter no longer cared that her beloved Hestia was right beside her.

If it were any other goddess beside her, she certainly wouldn't act this way, and she would definitely be extremely displeased.

However, if it were Hestia, she would be willing to share her Zeus with her!
However, Zeus still had some sense of shame.

At least, some amount is still necessary.

The God-King wouldn't want absolutely nothing.

Mainly, in the first instance, He still wanted each of His beloved goddesses to have the most fulfilling and happiest experience.
