Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 238 The Help of the Muses

Prometheus glared at his foolish brother again and continued, "From now on, if anyone wants to create life or bestow talents, they will have to 'submit an application and go through the process,' and it will depend on whether the great gods are willing to cooperate."

"Stop thinking that you can still bestow talents upon all living beings at will, just like before!"

Prometheus found it difficult to maintain his calm and rational mindset whenever he interacted with his foolish brother.

They are easily agitated and have difficulty controlling their emotions.

Epimetheus was already used to his brother's attitude, so he wasn't too angry when he heard this.

He sensed it carefully for a moment, and then belatedly exclaimed in surprise, "It seems to be real!"

"His Majesty has really revoked the authorization he granted us. Now, if we want to create life or bestow talents, we have to submit an application report and go through the entire process."

"I reckon that the other big shots will most likely not be as easy to talk to as before."

Prometheus was too lazy to pay any more attention to Him and turned his gaze back to the people.

Looking at these people, who were like blank sheets of paper, full of ignorance and curiosity about the world, as well as fear and longing, He once again fell into deep thought.

The wisdom of "free growth" is certainly good, but everything is always difficult at the beginning.

Going from one to two might not be that difficult.

However, taking that first step from zero to one is incredibly difficult.

Even though He was a wise and "prophetic" god, He still felt a sense of helplessness at this moment.

I have absolutely no idea where to begin.

Because it is of utmost importance everywhere!

These newborns don't even know how to eat or drink properly.

They know nothing about what can and cannot be eaten, or what can and cannot be done.

Prometheus, who was born a great god with innate knowledge, really didn't know how insignificant mortals should live, and he never had any need for mortal survival.

At that very moment, a strange nine-colored light suddenly shone in the distant sky.

Accompanied by melodious and joyful songs that could enchant all things, the goddesses who came to help them finally arrived.

A series of melodious voices, as pleasant as flowing spring water and as lively as spring sunshine, rang out around the two brothers:
"Oh, sons of the cycle of repetition, wise and intelligent Prometheus, and courageous and wise Epimetheus, is there anything that is difficult for you?"

"Perhaps we sisters can offer you a little help."

The gods are the nine Muses, who represent all civilization and knowledge in the universe, wearing golden crowns and different colored gowns, and are forever beautiful and joyful!

They came specifically to guide and teach these newly born humans, at the behest of their mother goddess, the great omniscient goddess of civilization and memory, Mnemosyne.

The moment Prometheus saw the nine Muses, he was overjoyed!
In this entire universe, who could be more suitable as humanity's mentors than these nine Muses?
They were the first beloved daughters conceived by the great goddess of civilization's memory and His Majesty the God-King!

Each of them possesses a certain type of essential knowledge within civilization!

Furthermore, they also possess all the truths and mysteries of existence in this universe!

With their help, humanity was able to safely navigate the most difficult and ignorant initial stage of ignorance.

It also lays the most correct and brightest broad path for unlimited future development!

Prometheus, beaming with joy, hurried forward and exclaimed, "Ah, most beautiful, most radiant, and most learned Muses! Beloved daughters of the mighty Zeus! Your arrival is the life-giving rain that I, and this newborn humankind, desperately need at this moment!"

"I am indeed facing enormous difficulties that leave me feeling utterly powerless."

"But! All these problems are insignificant in the hands of you great goddesses!"

"I am deeply grateful for your generous assistance, thank you so much!"

"Radiant goddesses, your arrival will make His Majesty the Great God-King's grand vision a reality sooner!"

Epimetheus's joy was no less than that of his brother.

Of course, this is not because He cares so much about humanity.

As for the troublesome matters of humanity, my foolish older brother is enough; I don't need to worry about it anymore.

Sometimes, going with the flow is far better than being greedy and demanding.

His joy stemmed purely from the fact that these nine Muses were simply too beautiful and too captivating!

They are so beautiful, radiant, optimistic, cheerful, wise, and knowledgeable!

His birth was extremely noble and illustrious!

The daughter of the ocean is indeed loved by all gods.

However, the beloved daughter of the God-King is loved by every god!
You should know that He, Epimetheus, is still single to this day!
Previously, due to his family background, which resulted in a negative social class, he dared not seek his true love and was unwilling to compromise. But now, feeling that he had rendered unparalleled service to the great God-King, he felt it was time to bravely pursue his own happiness!

Epimetheus carefully tidied his clothes and groomed himself, then grinned broadly and excitedly went to greet them.

"Oh! Beautiful Muses! Beloved daughters of the great god-king Zeus! You, so illustrious and noble, have actually descended upon this mortal earth."

"Look quickly, this is a brand new race that my brother and I created together! They are the first mortal beings in this universe to truly possess 'intelligence'!"

Epimetheus was dazzled by the sight of the nine enchanting and uniquely beautiful Muses before him.

For a moment, He had no idea which one He should look at.

I just wish I could have a few more eyes.

He proudly showed off to the goddesses, desperately claiming credit for himself.

They had no idea how much trouble their brother was carrying.

Or rather, even if He knew, He wouldn't care.

We are not a god!

What business is it of Epimetheus of the risks that Prometheus caused?

No God forced Him to do it.

However, the Muses simply couldn't be bothered with this fool.

They could see through Epimetheus's little scheme even with their eyes closed.

The nine sisters, each with their own preferences and temperaments, were not entirely the same.

However, they also have one thing in common.

That is, they only like those who are wise, knowledgeable, confident, brave, and pursue truth and justice.

Epimetheus, on the other hand, was nothing like their ideal type.

Also, even if you're not very smart, that's fine.

You should concentrate a little more!
Her two eyes darted back and forth between the nine sisters.

how?

Are you trying to pursue all nine of us sisters at the same time?

who do you think You Are?
Is it our great Father God?

Even our great Father God never said that he pursued nine goddesses at the same time!
People like Epimetheus felt that even if their heads were struck by the supreme thunder of the Father God, they would still never look up to Him.

However, under the careful guidance of their mother goddess Mnemosyne, the Muses were all of extremely high quality.

Even though they were quite speechless about Epimetheus, they did not show any rudeness.

After all, who would bother arguing with an idiot?

Among the nine Muses, the eldest sister, with the most heroic and resolute temperament, is Calliope, who represents "eloquence" and "epic" and is in charge of all linguistic arts.

Facing the two Titan deities with contrasting expressions, he spoke with a cheerful and benevolent voice, saying with a smile, "Under the joint will of the Great Father and the Radiant Mother, we have come to assist you."

Her voice was like a brass horn illuminated by the dawn, clear and resonant, yet carrying a gentle, comforting quality.

Divine light flowed around her golden crown and forehead, like an epic river reflecting the brilliance of countless stars.

She said gently, "Reverend Prometheus and Epimetheus, the new life forms you created are indeed the foundation for the prosperity of the future universe!"

"You have accomplished the most glorious and immortal feat! In the endless future, your names will forever enjoy this supreme glory!"

“We can clearly see that this entirely new race possesses unimaginable, almost limitless potential deep within their souls.”

“You who are wise should know that ‘spirituality’ is the foundation of ‘existence’; and ‘wisdom’ is the most concrete proof of ‘my’ existence!”

"These newborn beings, though still fragile mortals, possess the most precious qualities and talents."

"They possess the limitless potential to embrace the entire universe!"

"Perhaps, one day in the future, one of them will be able to completely complete the leap in life and become an immortal divine being."

"Even to the point of becoming a truly immortal god, a great being who can stand shoulder to shoulder with us!"

Caliope's smile grew even brighter and more cheerful: "Therefore, being able to teach these creatures with boundless potential alongside you is one of the greatest achievements of our lives as sisters. We couldn't ask for more!"
