Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 224 Could it be His Majesty?!

Chapter 224 Could it be His Majesty?!
Seeing his daughter so heartbroken, even the great Ocean God was truly at a loss for what to do.

He paced back and forth within the magnificent temple, a heavy sigh escaping his throat. His fists, powerful enough to shake mountains, were clenched tightly, and the blue veins of his divine blood bulged and twisted on his arms.

Thetis simply held her poor child tightly, and silent tears streamed down her warm and loving cheeks like broken pearls.

Oceanus paced anxiously, unable to understand how anyone could have wronged his daughter so much, causing her to break down to this point, given her noble status, powerful strength, and extraordinary wisdom, in this orderly universe ruled by the new God-King!
After much thought, He felt a sudden chill in His heart, and an icy coldness instantly swept over His entire divine body, as if His entire being had been completely frozen by an endless deep-sea abyss.

His raging anger turned into cold frost and snow at that moment.

His body froze on the spot, and even his breathing stopped.

No, no, it couldn't be... His Majesty, could it?!

Oceanus was filled with unspeakable fear.

However, the more I thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

With her daughter's noble status, powerful strength and wisdom, who in this world, besides the supreme God-King, could possibly wrong her?
Moreover, His Majesty is not without motives.

That fool Menotius committed such a heinous act, so it's understandable that His Majesty the King of the Gods would take his anger out on His Mother Goddess.
Oceanus shook his head violently, trying to banish this terrifying thought from his mind: No! Impossible! His Majesty is not this kind of god! His Majesty is definitely not this kind of god!
But that's not necessarily true.
After all, His Majesty the God King
Ocean God clapped his hands heavily, clearly extremely anxious.

He hurried to Clymene's side and asked urgently, "My child, do not weep. Whatever it is, tell the Father first!"

Oceanus gritted his teeth: "Hey! No matter what happens, Father God will never let you get hurt! Tell me now!"

Clymene managed to stop her tears with great difficulty, thanks to the comforting words of her mother.

Sobbing, she recounted the whole story to her parents.

After the Ocean God couple figured it out, they were both relieved.

Thank goodness, I thought something terrible had happened.

As long as I wasn't truly humiliated, that's fine.

Thetis finally stopped her tears. She held her beloved daughter even more tenderly and comforted her in the gentlest voice, "My dearest treasure, it's all over now. It doesn't matter anymore. My child, it's not your fault. You really did your best."

"I've wronged you all these years. From now on, just be happy and joyful. Don't overthink it, and let everything take its natural course."

"As for Iapetus, let the venerable Mother Goddess worry about him; you need not think about him anymore."

“Atlas has been keeping a low profile recently, and He has not made any unusual moves. Pleone has also been trying to persuade Him.”

"As for that child Menotious, well, let nature take its course."

“If He refuses to learn from His mistakes and remains as stubborn as His Father God, then even if He is forgiven by His Majesty the King of Gods, He will still only harm all the gods.”

Tethys gently stroked her daughter's long hair, her gaze as deep as the sea: "My child, you must know that the tides of the universe are always turning."

"Some stubborn reefs will eventually be submerged by the tides of time; while some resilient shells, after being washed clean of mud and sand, will eventually reveal the most dazzling pearls within to their new masters."

“My child, do not be that stubborn reef, but be a beautiful pearl. His Majesty the God-King has established a new sacred and just order. This little setback will eventually pass. The future, the beautiful future, is more important.”

"My beloved treasure, you are so dazzling and beautiful, please don't let trivial things obscure your beauty anymore."

Oceanus remained silent, feeling extremely guilty.

I shouldn't have let my child marry Iapetus in the first place!

They should have fought against Cronus from the very beginning!
She had initially intended to ease tensions with Cronus, but in the end, she harmed her beloved children!
Damn Cronus! It's all his fault!

He also felt a little embarrassed, as he had almost misunderstood His Majesty the God-King again.

His Majesty the God-King has bestowed great favors upon us time and again, yet we still doubt His Majesty's divine status.

This is a terrible crime, a truly terrible crime.

Thetes comforted her daughter for a long time, and Clymene's heart, which had collapsed for a moment, slowly began to recover.

Her mood was much better than before.

No matter how strong or resilient a creature is, there will be times when it can no longer bear the strain and may even collapse completely.

Perhaps it was just a fleeting moment, or perhaps it was just a trivial matter.

However, that was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

But as long as there is still a place to vent, as long as the wounded and stressed soul has a place to rest and find peace, then it will not completely succumb to that endless abyss.

The embrace of one's mother is the best and warmest harbor in the world.

Clymene was perhaps unfortunate to have such a husband and such a child.

However, she is extremely lucky to have parents like Oceanus and his wife.

In her mother's warm embrace and under her father's caring gaze, Clymene finally let go of all her pretense and completely released all the grievances and pain in her heart.

After calming down, she finally felt a long-lost sense of ease.

You always feel better after venting.

A mother's warm embrace and a father's grounded home can always heal all pain.

In his own home, Clymene felt only warmth.

She returned to the primordial ocean where she was born, a place with pristine waters that could soothe all wounds and wash away all dust, where her parents' love gently enveloped her scarred heart.

This place is not just a harbor, but also the source of her life and her final resting place.

Clymene wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and the clouds finally cleared from her beautiful face, revealing a smile once more.

She said with deep remorse, "My dear Mother Goddess," and then she looked at Oceanus, "My beloved Father God, I'm sorry for making you worry. Your daughter is alright now."

"It's all my fault, Father God and Mother God. Please rest assured, I will live each day well from now on."

“I have three children, and for them, and for myself, I will.”

Ocean God nodded repeatedly, no longer mentioning these trivial matters, for fear of causing his daughter to break down again.

Finally, the Ocean God asked rather tactfully how it felt to serve His Majesty the God King.

Only after receiving a definite reply from his daughter did He finally feel completely at ease.

Tethys immediately and skillfully changed the subject, starting to chat with Clymene about some happy and lighthearted family matters.

After confirming that his daughter's emotions had completely calmed down, the Ocean God allowed his children to return to the temple and instructed them to quickly hold a joyous family feast.

The love of parents, the warmth of family, the atmosphere of a joyous feast, and the sweet divine wine and delicacies that can dispel all fatigue.
These are the true treasures that can completely erase the lingering sadness and heartbreak.

At the very moment Zeus formally declared Demeter to be the mother goddess of the earth atop Mount Olympus.

Meanwhile, Prometheus and his "brother" Epimetheus had been traveling across the vast land for quite some time.

During this period of time, the two brothers shared only one feeling in their hearts—that is, confusion, great confusion, not just ordinary confusion.

The world today is far more vast than we can imagine, and this vastness brings with it an equally unimaginable emptiness that would suffocate even the gods.

The wind blows from one end of the horizon to the other, and apart from its own howling, there is hardly any echo from any intelligent creature.

The so-called "prosperity" of the world today is relative to the chaotic and nihilistic era of Uranus and the rugged and barbaric era of Cronus.

Compared to the glorious era of harmony and prosperity that Zeus, the king of the gods, was destined to usher in, the world at this moment was pitifully desolate.

The figures of the gods are scattered throughout this vast universe, and their number is almost negligible.

Especially since many gods still reside on the radiant Mount Olympus.

Apart from the gods who are high above, only divine beings can possess advanced wisdom.

Only those diverse nymph fairies, various elemental deities, divine descendants with divine blood, and divine creations made by the gods themselves.

These celestial beings, who are of slightly lower rank, are indeed more numerous than the gods.

But when they were scattered throughout the boundless universe, they remained like pearls lost in the vast ocean, almost impossible to find.

It simply cannot fill this enormous world, or rather, compared to the vast universe, it is utterly insignificant.

At this time, the mortal world was far from abundant, and the kinds of animals and plants with faint spirituality were few in number.

Moreover, they are basically still in the early stages of life evolution, and can only follow the most primitive instincts.
