Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 240 Hera! Only Hera!
Everything else, perhaps, will only come when humanity is truly able to make its own voice heard in this world.

Perhaps only then will we be able to truly attract the attention of the gods.

The road ahead for humanity is still far, far too long.

Metis returned to Olympus, back to his temple, which was built of clouds and starlight and filled with light and tranquility.

All she could see was her own silly little sister, still immersed in boundless happiness, almost melting into a puddle of spring water.

The beautiful Eurynome lay unceremoniously on the cloud bed that Zeus had created for Metis.

She kept chuckling to herself, her delicate body still rolling around on the soft cloud bed like a kitten.

Her divinity was constantly immersed in immense happiness.

She didn't wake up from her sweet dream until Metis had already come to the side of the cloud bed, exclaiming "Eh!"

Eurynome suddenly realized that her dear sister had returned, and overjoyed, she exclaimed softly, "Sister, you're back?"

Metis looked at his sister's foolish appearance and felt both annoyed and amused, but more than anything, he was genuinely happy for her.

The goddess of wisdom knew all too well how painful it was to love someone you couldn't have.

She sat down on the cloud bed, gently embraced her beloved younger sister, and said affectionately, "I'm back."

"Silly girl, you just realized that?"

Eurynome chuckled and nestled affectionately into her sister's voluptuous embrace, which was so rich that any goddess would be deeply envious, and rubbed against her playfully.

"Sister, I feel a lot of noise outside. What exactly happened?"

Metis quietly told her in detail everything that had happened on the earth.

Eurynome listened quietly, nodding gently from time to time.

After Metis had explained everything, she said softly:
"Sister, it seems that His Majesty really values ​​this newborn 'human'."

"It is not only allowing them to possess a noble form similar to that of gods, but also generously allowing you to bestow upon them the most precious 'wisdom for free growth,' which can be called the greatest gift in the universe."

"Even more so, His Majesty personally unleashed the divine thunder of creation and asked Dione's sister to intervene, so that the two could be harmonized, yin and yang in balance, and thus be able to reproduce healthily."

Metis nodded in agreement, his tone tinged with solemnity, and said softly, "Prometheus and Epimetheus are actually two bodies of one. Their true, complete form is so powerful and magnificent that it is truly astonishing."

"They have also bestowed upon these newborn humans too many qualities, and this entirely new race is destined to have limitless potential. Even I cannot see how far they can ultimately go."

Eurynome nodded repeatedly.

Metis gently ran his fingers through her flowing, bright blue hair, and then said, "But they are, after all, mortal spirits, and newborns. Everything is just beginning, and they are still fragile and insignificant. If you have time, you can go and see them and help them."

"You can also tell the Father Gods about this, and ask your brothers and sisters to keep an eye on humanity. Even if you have no interest, it's best not to harm this new race."

"After all, in a sense, they are my children. Moreover, His Majesty has high hopes for them."

Eurynome nodded repeatedly: "Sister, I understand."

Metis had no doubt about his younger sister's intelligence, so he said no more.

She glanced up at her, then suddenly smiled and leaned closer, teasingly saying, "Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Go see for yourself when you have time."

"My dear sister, are you satisfied now? Has our beloved God-King taken responsibility for you?" The goddess of wisdom teased, a mischievous smile on her face.

Eurynome blushed immediately, and like a startled fawn, she nestled into her older sister's strong yet soft embrace, only able to giggle foolishly for a moment.

Metis shook her head indulgently. As soon as she entered the hall, she realized that something was amiss.

Originally, she thought that the reason why the cloud bed was so clean was because her beloved god-king had specially cleaned it.

But now it seems that nothing really happened at all.

The silly little sister's aura was so pure, completely untouched by the domineering aura of her beloved god-king.

Well, it's not that there's none at all; there's still a little bit.

But that trace of aura was less than what remained on my own body.

Metis looked at his silly, grinning sister with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, giving her a disapproving glare.

At most, it was just kissing and hugging; nothing substantial happened, yet she was already this happy.

If it actually turns out to be a good thing, wouldn't that make me a complete fool?

I wonder what that wicked guy I love has done to my silly little sister?
I guess it was all because of those irresistible sweet words that she managed to coax her silly little sister into this state.

The goddess of wisdom shook her head inwardly; she was quite aware of her beloved's eloquence.

Not to mention her silly younger sister, even she herself couldn't resist it.

However, it's strange that the beloved God King didn't completely devour his beloved sister.

This is strange; it doesn't fit my beloved's usual divine character at all.

Metis knew there must be something else going on, otherwise things would never have turned out this way.

If it's because of the birth of humankind.
This further demonstrates that the lover highly values ​​this newborn human being.

She stopped thinking about it, turned around and hugged Oulunomo in her arms, gently pinching her delicate little face. Looking at her pathetic appearance, she felt truly helpless.

"My silly sister, you didn't even know how to seize such a good opportunity?"

When did His Majesty leave?

Faced with the goddess of wisdom's helpless words, Eurynome, who was immersed in the beauty, finally came to his senses.

She chuckled sweetly, snuggling against her older sister and saying in a soft, coquettish voice, "Thank you, dear sister, thank you so much!"

"I...I'm so happy! Your Majesty, our beloved said that soon He will summon all the gods and announce that I will become His wife, hehehe~"

Faced with this delightful, irrelevant answer, Metis gave her another disapproving sidelong glance: "That's it?"

Eurynome was stunned, and asked blankly, "Sister, isn't this enough? You're about to become His Majesty's wife."

The goddess of wisdom was truly helpless against this pure and innocent little fool.

She used a little force to gently pinch her sister's delicate nose with her fingertips, and gently scolded, "You! The title of wife is important, but the reality is even more important!"

"Don't you want your beloved Zeus to give you a little more love?"

Miho's Eurynome, whose mind was clouded by pleasure, slowly cleared up, and her intelligence once again took over, although she still didn't quite understand.

She whispered, "Sister, of course I want to!"

"I feel that His Majesty still likes me quite a bit."

Metis was truly disappointed in her younger sister. She stretched out her slender finger and gently tapped her silly sister's smooth brow, the movement gentle yet firm.

In a tone that was both indulgent and helpless, she feigned sternness and scolded, "My silly sister! Look at that Radiant Lord Selene!"

"Has she ever asked His Majesty for any title? With her status, looks, and abilities, if she were to ask, would our amorous and soft-hearted God-King not grant her request?"

"But why does she refuse?"

"That's because what she wants are tangible things."

"What she wants is the actual favor of our God-King, and for Him to always feel a sense of guilt."

"What we want is that subtle feeling that is always hovering on the edge of His palm, yet always able to entice and tease Him, always giving Him a sense of novelty."

The goddess of wisdom narrowed her golden eyes slightly, a sharp glint of all-knowing light flashing within them: "Just you wait and see, whenever that Lord of the Moon is willing, she will definitely be able to seduce our God-King for quite some time."

Oulunomo listened thoughtfully, but her clear, sea-blue eyes still held a hint of innocent confusion.

She asked softly, "Sister, then... what should I do?"

"Whenever I'm by His Majesty's side, I feel completely dizzy and lose consciousness."

Metis shook her head helplessly; she was truly at a loss.

Her silly little sister was truly completely under the thumb of her beloved God-King.

Moreover, her personality is far too gentle and virtuous; she wouldn't even dare to fight for anything.

Given his own god-king's promiscuous nature, it's foreseeable that he will be surrounded by more and more goddesses in the future.

Even if His love remains undiminished, it will be extremely difficult to gain more companionship if one does not take the initiative.

There are too many wolves and not enough meat; there's simply not enough to go around!

Although gods are immortal and possess eternal time, there can only be one god-king at any given time!

If a goddess has already taken her place, then the others can only watch from the sidelines.

Metis sighed heavily, but then immediately perked up.

Nope!

This silly little sister of mine needs to be properly taught a lesson!

“Eurynome, my dearest sister. Before, I was only thinking about creating opportunities for you, which was my mistake.”

"Now, your older sister must teach you properly how to truly win the favor of your beloved God King!"

Metis said with utmost seriousness, “My dear sister, you must know that loving a god means bringing Him joy.”

"And if you want Him to be inseparable from you and to think of you all the time, you must bring Him the 'ultimate' happiness."

"If, because of love, or because of having already obtained something, you neglect your feelings for each other, or even hurt each other because of it."

"So, no matter how deep the love was, it will eventually be worn away by the passage of time and by repeated disappointments."

“Our beloved God-King, how radiant and boundless He is! There are so many goddesses surrounding Him throughout the entire universe.”

"Although He has never been a heartless god, His emotions are so abundant that He is bound to show favoritism to some and in others unintentionally."

"And that requires us to take good care of our love."

"If you truly love Him, how can you not make Him happy? How can you bear to let His heart lack that irreplaceable joy that belongs only to you?"

"If you just wait patiently and foolishly, then what makes you think you can keep His gaze on you for long? And what makes you think you can expect Him to take the initiative every time?"

The goddess of wisdom spoke earnestly, as if wholeheartedly instructing her beloved sister: "Our beloved god-king is generous and gentle; He has given us absolute protection and safety, as well as the highest honor and glory."

"Then we should also give back to Him with the same generous and glorious love."

"Love should be a two-way feast, not a one-way demand."

"Just waiting quietly like this is not enough!"

"Next, I'm going to teach you how to make our beloved God-King like you even more!"

"We'll satisfy whatever He likes." "You should know that if you can't satisfy Him, He'll have to go find it elsewhere."

The more Eurynome listened, the brighter her pure and beautiful eyes shone.

She nodded her little head repeatedly, feeling that she had really learned a lot.

Metis was very pleased with her silly sister's eagerness to learn, and she nodded in satisfaction.

She then hugged her younger sister tightly and, in the most private divine thought channel, began to teach her the most crucial lesson on "how to capture the God King" in a detailed and vivid manner, complete with pictures and text.

The clear, bright face of Oulunomo, with its exquisite features, quickly turned a fiery red, like the glow of a sunset, almost as if it were about to bleed.
In fact, after Zeus had a rather complicated taste of the exquisite flavor of this pure and sweet ocean girl, he soon left.

There's no need to rush into creating gods, but it's still necessary to personally oversee the creation of humans.

Anyway, the title has already been set, and this incredibly obedient and gentle goddess is docile to the core. He can take her in anytime; there's no rush.

In His supreme temple, the king of gods, He sat on His throne, and the entire process of Prometheus creating man was under His watchful gaze.

Now that man has been born, He has even more important things to do.

There are those who are even more anxious.

At this moment, although humans have appeared, to be honest, these new humans are likely to suffer a lot.
After all, the laws and concepts of the universe are far from perfect.
The direct consequence of this is chaos.

Based on the current Heavenly Order, many concepts and laws no longer require the appearance of corresponding deities to exist.

Just like "death" and "sleep," although there are no corresponding deities for these two yet, those who are destined to die will die.

but
The only way to die now is a violent death.
And, it's very difficult to die from it.

But this is not necessarily a good thing.

Without a corresponding deity, the corresponding laws and concepts are not yet perfect.

It is equivalent to being in a rudimentary, still in a rather chaotic, primitive state.

In such a chaotic state, anything is possible.

Simply put, it can be understood as a program that has not yet been properly programmed but has already started running forcibly.

It's not just that the vulnerability is built on the foundation of the program; the entire program is built on the vulnerability. It's no wonder there's such a huge mess.

The absence of order is the most terrifying thing for all existence.

Everything that exists in reality, and its development is a process in which "order" constantly triumphs over "disorder".

The existing world is orderly.

Moreover, it has been continuously improving, progressing in an orderly manner towards being better, more perfect, and more stable.

Chaos, on the other hand, is absolutely disordered and will remain disordered forever.

Therefore, as long as order continues to improve, it can forever overcome the disorder of chaos.

This is the fundamental reason why the most terrifying Tartarus has always been the one getting beaten up.

Because it is chaotic, disordered, void, and bewildering, it represents the most complete end.

Order will inevitably triumph over disorder.

Only when order completely collapses and everything returns to chaos will Tartarus completely devour and annihilate all existence.

But as long as order exists, Tartarus will forever belong only to the "future".

Human beings today are truly extraordinary because of the raw materials they are born from.

They can survive for a very long time even relying solely on their physical bodies, and they are very resilient.

However, this does not mean that they only have the happiness of longevity.

They will still get hurt and die.

However, they will only die due to the complete decay and collapse of their physical bodies.

This was an extremely long and difficult period of time.

They will still get sick, and because they are not as likely to die, they may suffer more.

They too will age, but because their physical bodies are so resilient, the aging process will be extremely long.

Being sick and old and unable to die easily, without a perfect law of death, is an unimaginable and terrible torment.

Their physical bodies can also undergo various changes for all sorts of reasons.

However, since no "supernatural" order exists, they can only rely on themselves to continue the chaotic changes and bear the unknown consequences.

If even "death" has become an extremely difficult thing, then "living" itself may be an extremely terrible torment.

Although the two brothers Prometheus and the nine Muses were taking care of these newborn humans.

However, the number of humans is too large, and the various things that must be encountered along the way to lead humanity onto the path of civilization are countless.

Eleven gods are tasked with caring for millions of newborn lives, each like a blank sheet of paper. It's impossible to expect them to avoid any problems.

Moreover, setbacks, experiences, and lessons are often indispensable steps on the path of civilization's progress.

Only by recognizing our mistakes and experiencing the pain can we avoid repeating them in the future.

Humans, and indeed all living beings, currently lack far too many essential concepts for healthy survival.

Now, His Majesty the Great God-King, for the sake of all living beings in the universe, has come to seek His most beloved goddess.

Hera, the great mother goddess who represents "birth" and "reproduction".

"Fertility" and "reproduction" represent two of the most important concepts.

That is—the “new life” and “evolution” of all existence.

Only through continuous reproduction can they adapt and evolve.

Even the entire universe is constantly "reproducing" and "evolving".

It is this evolution that enables the ever-growing "existence" to triumph over the unchanging "nothingness".

"Existence" is never a static state, but a continuous and dynamic process of "generation".

If a group, a concept, or even the entire universe itself stops producing "new" individuals or forms.

Then, its "whole" loses the vitality to cope with all changes, and its "existence" itself becomes precarious.

Therefore, "reproduction" is the first prerequisite for "survival"!

The significance of reproduction lies not only in the continuation of numbers, but also in the birth of "new" members, which brings new "possibilities" to the entire group.

Every new life is a completely new attempt and adaptation to the environment; it is a recombination of the gene pool; it is an iteration of ideas.

It is this endless, successive generation of new life that constitutes the great ladder of "evolution"!

Existence is reproduction; reproduction is evolution!
Just as the great mother goddess gave birth to Uranus, the first king of the gods, this too is reproduction.

The birth of all gods is also a form of procreation.

The mother goddess and Uranus gave birth to the gods, and the gods united with each other to create new deities.

The birth of each new god signifies the emergence of one or more entirely new "laws," new "concepts," and new "powers" within the universe.

This is the “birth of divinity”.

And this is also the "reproduction" and "evolution" of the entire present world.

The entire existence of the present world, the entire universe itself, is a huge, ever-reproducing great mother.

The formation of new galaxies, the emergence of new life, and even the manifestation of new physical laws.

The birth of every new law is the most powerful proof that existence is undergoing self-reproduction and evolution.

Only by constantly "reproducing" and giving birth to new existences can the universe continue to progress.

To exist is to reproduce; to reproduce is to evolve!
When a system, whether it is a group of organisms, a pantheon of gods, or the entire universe itself, stops reproducing and no new beings are born, then its evolutionary path has come to an end.

This state of "no longer evolving" is absolute and true "death".

Because a rigid system is no longer able to meet any challenges.

When all that exists is a struggle for existing resources, then under the erosion of time, the only ultimate outcome is collapse and extinction.

If everything begins to solidify and no new existence is born, it means that everything will eventually come to an end.

Everything will be completely devoured by the most terrifying Tartarus.

When "reproduction" slows down or even stagnates, it indicates a serious problem with the development of order, and if it is not addressed, it will come to an end.
The order of the ancient god-king Cronus was ended largely because of this.

For His own benefit, He disregards the progress of the entire universe. Therefore, in order to avoid being overtaken by Tartarus, the entire universe will either intentionally or unintentionally destroy Him.

Learning from Cronus, Zeus chose a different path: to progress together with all existence!
Zeus chose to stand with all beings, as part of a community.

He uses His supreme power to promote the healthy survival and evolution of all existence, while absorbing the brilliant civilizations created by existence to strengthen Himself, which in turn promotes the continued evolution of existence, forming a virtuous cycle.

Often, making appropriate concessions can make things better.

The progress of the universe is equivalent to the progress of Zeus.

This is why Hera is the greatest and most magnificent mother goddess!
She is also the most suitable goddess and the one most worthy of matching the great god-king Zeus!
Zeus, the king of the gods, wanted the universe to progress forever, so he needed to have this great mother goddess who represented everything "reproduction," "birth," "new life," and "evolution"!
Hera was the most suitable "great mother goddess" for Zeus, who was the greatest "father god"!
none of them!

Before Zeus finally became an all-knowing and all-powerful god, the only one who could accompany Him without ever falling behind, always supporting Him, always remaining faithful to Him, and always staying with Him until the end of eternal omniscience and omnipotence was Hera!

Because of Hera's companionship, Zeus was able to outrun Tartarus, who was always chasing him, throughout the endless years.

Ultimately, he will become the most virtuous, beautiful, omniscient, and omnipotent God.

Because of Hera's presence, everything in this universe was able to avoid being caught up with and completely devoured by the terrifying Tartarus.

Only when the all-knowing and all-powerful God completely defeats the final nothingness and chaos can "existence" be eternally "existed"!
Hera!
Zeus's eternal and supreme love!

Zeus's eternal, indispensable, and supreme love!

none of them!

The supreme God, the Father God, the one God, the Lord of Heaven, the eternal companion!

That eternal, supreme Queen! The supreme queen of heaven! The only sovereign of paradise! The greatest mother goddess upon the golden throne!

Only—Hera!
She is the ultimate perfection that the universe reserved for Zeus, the eternal promise that allows existence to continue!
