Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 223 The Heartbroken Daughter of the Ocean

A gentle smile appeared on His face: "Beautiful Clymene, I know what you want to ask. But you don't need to think too much about it, and you don't need to worry."

"Go, go and catch up with the Mother Goddess. She already knows everything you want to know, go and ask her."

Clymene lowered her head slightly, gently biting the corner of her mouth with her pearly teeth, still hesitant.

She had to carefully consider His Majesty the God-King's feelings and true thoughts.

Zeus saw through her thoughts clearly and chuckled softly, "What? Do you think I would bother with such a trivial matter? Go ahead, but remember to come back soon."

“My temple has become much more orderly since you came into it. And the little girls are much more well-behaved than before.”

"With you here teaching them, they are much more obedient now, which makes me very happy. My temple can't do without you for even a moment now."

"I'm even worried about what kind of chaos this place will become if you leave here in ten thousand years. I'm afraid that by then, I won't be able to do without you here."

Zeus's gentle and affectionate words calmed Clymene's mind somewhat.

She smiled and said softly, "Your Majesty's kindness is something Clymene can never repay. As long as Your Majesty is willing, Clymene will always obey Your Majesty's will."

Zeus chuckled softly: "Go then."

"Yes." Clymene bowed deeply, humbly withdrew from the temple, and then transformed into a streak of azure water light, hurriedly chasing after the direction in which the Mother Goddess of All Things had departed.

However, the Mother Goddess of All Things left far too quickly!
The Mother Goddess of All Things cannot completely break through space to return home directly, but she can tear through space "short distance" and leap back to the earth.

That speed is already hundreds of times faster than the speed of light!

In just a short while, she was almost back at the temple of the earth!

I don't know what she's afraid of.
In the end, Clymene was unable to catch up.

It wasn't until she arrived at the magnificent temple of the Mother Goddess of All Things, located on the earth, that Clymene finally met Gaia.

Gaia was startled when he saw her.

They thought Zeus was up to something again, so he sent Clymene to summon her back.

Only after Clymene explained her purpose did she finally feel relieved.

He then told her everything he had just learned from Zeus.

Since Zeus had already allowed her to come, he must have allowed her to tell him.

Moreover, there's nothing in this that can't be said.

With Gaia, Clymene finally learned everything he wanted to know.

She also did not doubt Zeus's words.

The gods generally believed in the divine qualities of this new god-king (except in matters related to goddesses).

Its reputation is second only to that of the absolutely sacred and just goddess of justice.

On his way back to Olympus, Clymene was filled with both sorrow and resentment.

Of course, she didn't hate Zeus.

The God-King has been more than lenient.

She hates Iapetus!

It was her husband, whom she once admired and loved so much!

I live in this world, trembling with fear every single day.

Every day I think about how to get my god out of trouble.

Everything she did was for her husband and children!

It's all for the sake of the Iapetus family!

The results of it? !

The boundless blessings of His Majesty the God-King have already been laid out before Him!
Yet He still foolishly remained loyal to that despicable old god-king who had long been abandoned by the times!

Doesn't He think about His own family at all?!
Does He not even consider his own wife and children?!

Your child, because of your folly, has been banished back to Tartarus along with you!

What kind of place is that?!

At this moment, Clymene truly hated Iapetus.

She felt deeply that all her past efforts had been so foolish and ridiculous!
He even risked the incomparably noble face of his father, and even made his father risk offending the King of Gods!

And the fact is, they have already offended them.

Is everything she has done so unimportant in her husband's eyes?

Are His so-called "faith" and "loyalty" the only things that matter most?

Isn't that enough?!
Isn't all this cost enough?!
You've already been banished to Tartarus along with the ancient gods!

Whatever the debt of gratitude, whatever the loyalty, should have been repaid by now! But you, along with your own child, insist on following you down this dead end!
It's hopeless.
It's hopeless!

Even if we rescue them, they will have to go back in sooner or later!

The more this noble goddess of the ocean thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and the more she broke down.

Unable to bear the endless despair that felt as heavy as the universe, she suddenly turned around and rushed madly toward the distant ocean.

Regardless of anything else, she cried loudly all the way as she rushed towards the ocean that had given her birth.

The Ocean Goddess's tears, filled with grievance and utter despair, poured down like a torrential downpour.

Along the way, the land transformed into one clear yet sorrowful lake after another.

She rushed straight into the magnificent temple at the deepest part of the ocean, completely disregarding the fact that her brothers and sisters were still inside.

She immediately threw herself into the arms of her mother, Thetis, kneeling and prostrating herself on her lap, bursting into tears.

Clymene's reaction truly startled the Oceanus couple, as well as all the gods in the temple.

Their daughter was always so strong and intelligent, and her temperament was also incredibly resilient; she was always outwardly gentle but inwardly strong.

They had never seen them so aggrieved and broken down at this moment.

Oceanus immediately stood up in anger!
But after He suddenly stood up, He realized that He didn't know what had happened.

His brow furrowed deeply, and then he waved his hand forcefully, signaling the children in the hall to leave first.

Although the ocean gods were also full of worries, they all obediently withdrew for the time being.

For a time, only the three gods remained in the temple.

A child's reputation should always be protected.

The goddess Thetis embraced her daughter tightly, her heart aching as she looked at her daughter's condition.

This gentle and loving ocean goddess was already shedding tears of sorrow alongside her daughter.

In this world, what mother could bear to watch her beloved child suffer such unbearable pain?

"My child, what happened to my child? What's wrong? What happened?"

"Alright, alright, Mother Goddess is here, and your Father Goddess is here too. Don't cry anymore. No matter what happens, Father Goddess and Mother Goddess are by your side."

"My child, please stop crying. Your tears are breaking the heart of the Mother Goddess as well."

The tears of the goddess Thetis fell along with those of her daughter, and she could not stop them.

Oceanus was now glaring angrily. He forcibly suppressed his rage and, in a voice that could barely be considered gentle, softly comforted her, "Clymene, my beloved child, what has happened?"

“The Father is right here. No matter what happens, the Father will surely stand up for you!”

“My dear child, please stop crying. Look at your mother goddess; she is heartbroken because of your weeping. How can you bear to let your mother goddess suffer as you do?”

Although the Ocean God tried his best to keep his tone gentle, the entire ocean was already churning with endless waves of fury in response to His anger!
On the surface of the ocean, the waves were already roaring like thunder, and huge waves that seemed to be turning the whole world upside down were rising one after another!
Even underwater, the currents are turbulent and danger lurks everywhere!

The entire ocean has now become the most terrifying death zone!

This loving Father God is very easy to talk to in many things.

But never hurt His beloved child!

Although He was confined to the ocean by Zeus, this was not actually a serious punishment.

This punishment, to be precise, should be called "reflection behind closed doors," and it doesn't even qualify as a punishment.

But more than the punishment, what He felt guilty about was betraying Zeus's trust.

During this time, He also reflected deeply in His own home.

He had made up his mind that Menotius would never make such a basic mistake again!
From now on, we must be even more loyal to His Majesty the God-King!
Everything His Majesty has entrusted to us must be handled with even greater care from now on! Care! And even greater care!
These past few days, I finally managed to have a celebratory feast with my children, and the whole family was enjoying a happy time together.

And then this happened!

He truly cannot accept it!

He was truly furious!

Clymene, who was prostrate on the lap of the Mother Goddess, slowly raised her head after hearing the words of the Oceanus.

But at a glance, he saw his mother goddess, her face filled with tears and sorrow.

She thought of her parents, who were confined to this house for a full 100,000 years because of her.

She felt even more wronged and even more sorry for her parents.

The tears that had been about to stop flowed out even more violently and turbulently at this moment.

"Mother Goddess! Mother Goddess! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Clymene wept even more bitterly.
