Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 222 Humble Gaia, Panicked Gaia

The only thing to be thankful for is that the current God-King is still willing to follow rules, reason, and benevolence, and his divine character can still be described as kind and compassionate.

Otherwise, the entire universe would truly be without any hope.

Gaia can be a little short-tempered at times.

However, she is not stupid.

The fact that the God-King is still willing to reason with you is already the greatest fortune.

In this situation, if you still want to be unreasonable with the God King, then the God King will let you know what the true "Spiritual Ruler" is and what the true "Thunder God Lord" is!

Gaia has not forgotten, nor can she forget, the spiritual authority that the former spiritual sovereign wielded with unbridled arrogance, and the thunder that Zeus shattered everything.

She took a deep breath, suppressing all the surging emotions in her heart.

She said slowly, "Respected Zeus, thank you for your kindness and promise."

“My children are sometimes not very clear-headed, and it is right for you to restrict their freedom.”

"However, now that they have lost all the laws, they are no longer any threat."

"Tartars is truly the most terrifying place in the world."

"The torment of Tartarus is a torment that is truly worse than death. Even complete annihilation is perhaps better than eternally sinking into that endless void."

"Your mercy is known throughout the universe, your generosity is revered by all the gods. We are, after all, one divine family, I..."

As Gaia spoke, she slowly rose from her divine throne.

Then, she did something that would shock and even make any god disbelieve!
She actually lowered her most noble head slowly toward Zeus on the throne!
She bowed deeply to Zeus and pleaded in the most humble tone, "Your Majesty, I... I beg you..."

“I beg you, move them from Nataltars to another place to be imprisoned.”

"The others are imprisoned anywhere else."

"Anywhere is fine as long as it's not in Tartarus."

"Whether it's the boundless sea, the vast ocean, or the boundless starry sky, just randomly find a lonely and desolate celestial body."

"Even in that desolate underworld, it's fine. As long as it's not in Tartarus, it doesn't matter where it is."

For the first time in her endless divine life, the Mother Goddess of All Things revealed her vulnerability and humility before a deity.

This is a fragility and humility from the Mother Goddess of all things that no living being has ever witnessed before.

This is the oldest, most powerful, and most revered mother goddess of all things, the original source of the entire family of gods and all the gods.

At this moment, the God-King, who was facing her grandson, lowered his noble head and bent his dignified back, uttering the most sincere plea.

Throughout her life, she has not been without setbacks; nor has she been without oppression; nor has she been without feeling powerlessness and helplessness; nor has she been without any compromises.

Even when facing Uranus, she at most just gave up and dealt with the situation passively.

When facing Cronus, she repeatedly confronted His majesty, directly reprimanding him and even clashing with him on several occasions.

She never truly felt inferior.

But now, for the first time, she uttered such a plea.

Her emerald green eyes, those beautiful eyes that once held endless mystery and vitality, now looked sadly at Zeus.

Those incredibly beautiful eyes were filled with a tearful, sorrowful plea.

She clasped her hands together in front of her chest, bowed deeply to Zeus, and pleaded in a mournful voice, "Your Majesty, the merciful King of the Gods, I beg you, grant me this humble request."

Even Zeus had never seen the Mother Goddess in this form before.

This oldest and most powerful Great Mother Goddess has always been so proud and arrogant, and her personality is so tough and resolute.

Even for her own sake, she would never back down like that.

However, she knew all too well how terrible Tartarus was.

And her six giant children had told her countless times about the horrors of that place.

The psychological trauma inflicted on those children, the frenzied and terrified reaction that would immediately occur upon hearing the name "Tartarus," caused her endless heartache just to see it.

At this moment, this great Mother Goddess, for the sake of her children, has already humiliatedly lowered her noblest head and relinquished her incomparably proud and precious dignity.

Zeus remained silent, his expression cold and stern.

And the Mother Goddess of All Things remained motionless, maintaining her pleading posture.

After a long, long time, Zeus finally let out a soft sigh.

He could not bear to watch a noble mother goddess be so humble for the sake of her child.

The Mother Goddess of All Things is not a perfect mother.

She is not good at teaching her children, and sometimes she even spoils them too much.

She is not the kind of mother who will always give in to her child's every whim.

She sometimes clashed with her own children; sometimes she was indeed too irritable; sometimes she was indeed too willful. But her love for her children was never in doubt.

Zeus gently released the thunder scepter in his hand, slowly stepped down from his divine throne, and came before the mother goddess of all things. He personally took her arm and asked her to sit down again.

“Revered Mother Goddess, you do not need to do this.”

“I promise you. Ten thousand years later, I will give them another chance. Now, let them hone themselves properly during this short period of time.”

"Zeus."

Gaia wanted to speak further.

Zeus gently took her hand and interrupted her.

"Revered Mother Goddess, let it be. Ten thousand years is but a fleeting moment, and they do indeed need this little lesson."

"Please believe me. I assure you in my own name that they will all be fine."

Gaia opened her lips, as if to say something more.

But her spirit was truly about to dissipate.

In the end, she just lowered her head, sighed softly, and didn't want to mention the matter again.

She slowly raised her head and looked at Zeus, as if she wanted to ask about something else.

But there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes, and in the end, she didn't say anything.

In the end, she simply said softly, "Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness and promise. I have nothing more to do, so I will take my leave for now."

With that, she turned and walked away.

Unexpectedly, Zeus suddenly grabbed her little hand, and she looked at Zeus with a puzzled expression.

Zeus said slowly, "Honorable Mother Goddess of All Things, in a short time, I have a great matter that I need your help with."

"At that time, I may be slightly disrespectful to you. I am letting you know in advance and hope you can understand."

"But please rest assured, I will never harm you in any way. This is a matter concerning the entire world, and I had no choice but to do it. I am extremely sorry."

Zeus spoke with utmost sincerity, and the look in his eyes as he gazed at Gaia was equally sincere.

Gaia's emerald-green eyes narrowed slightly.

She scrutinized Zeus before her, her somber mood vanishing instantly, replaced by a heightened sense of vigilance.

"Your Majesty, what is it?" the Mother Goddess of All Things asked softly.

Zeus replied solemnly, "The time is not yet ripe for this matter, and it is not appropriate to speak of it openly at this moment. I hope you can understand. When the time comes, you will naturally know."

Gaia's ominous feeling grew stronger and stronger, even making her feel a little panicked.

She asked earnestly and sincerely, "Your Majesty, may I refuse?"

"Or, could this matter be remedied by another god?"

Zeus shook his head helplessly: "Honorable Mother Goddess of All Things, no other deity can take your place in this matter."

“Whoever it may be,” Zeus emphasized.

Gaia's expression turned cold, and she thought to herself, 'If I can't refuse, what's the point of saying anything?'

The Mother Goddess of All Things cursed several very unpleasant words in her heart.

With a composed and beautiful face, she said coldly, "In that case, Your Majesty would be best advised to inform me in advance when the time is right, so that I may be prepared."

Zeus nodded emphatically, his face full of sincerity: "I will do my best!"

The ominous premonition in Gaia's heart was almost like a giant hammer striking her divinity.

She nodded reluctantly, then turned and left quickly!

She had already made up her mind to avoid Zeus as much as possible from now on.

This seems like a big problem!

No!

From this day forward, I will stay at home and not go out!
If I can't afford to mess with you, Zeus, do you think I can't at least avoid you?

Zeus blinked as he watched Gaia's hurried departure.

He thought to himself: I hope the Mother Goddess of All Things won't be too angry in the future.
But everything I said was true, and I would never harm her in any way.

He could even give her more of what she cherished most.

this.
Is that a good thing?

I guess so.
After Gaia's hurried figure disappeared from the temple, Clymene, with a face full of entanglement and hesitation, quietly returned to the temple.

Zeus saw through the thoughts in the mind of this wise Oceanid with just one glance.
