Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 249 The God King's Promise

Eurynome avoided eye contact, too embarrassed to look directly at her sister, the blush on her cheeks not yet completely gone.

Upon seeing the figures of their father and mother, the three beautiful goddess maidens naturally stopped their joyful steps.

The most radiant smiles quickly bloomed on their lips as they cheered and ran towards their father and mother.

The God-King seemed oblivious to everything, laughing heartily as he opened his arms and gave them a big hug.

His laughter was filled with heartfelt joy: "My dear daughters! Come, come! Let Father God see you, how beautiful and lovely my treasures are!"

Aglaia looked up, her pupils like morning stars, clear and radiant with their own dazzling light; Euphrodite simply smiled, her smile warmer than the sun; Talia tilted her head, and her laughter tinkled, transforming into a string of melodious silver bells.

They were like three of the most beautiful springs, rushing instantly into the embrace of our beloved Father.

A bright, cheerful smile, brimming with energy and free of any gloom, is enough to instantly lighten the mood of any deity.

Metis couldn't help but feel a little jealous when he saw his beloved god-king easily "steal" all the children's affections as soon as he appeared.

Not only these three newborn children, but all the other children are the same.

No matter how well one treats the children on a daily basis, as long as their Father God appears, the one the children will always revere and cherish the most will always be their Father God.

He is rarely seen all day long, spends very little time with the children, and never puts on any airs of authority in front of them. In fact, he often plays and laughs with them.

However, the one that children love and rely on most will always be their Father God.

Just like these three newborn children, upon seeing their father god, not only their aunt, but even their own mother god, had to step back.

The three children huddled together around their father, chattering excitedly about their new life, while Eurynome could only watch quietly with a gentle smile.

Zeus laughed heartily, picked up his three daughters one by one, and kissed their smooth foreheads.

“My beloved children,” the God-King’s voice was as bright and cheerful as a cloudless sky.

"My most beloved children! You are the fruit of my love with your Mother Goddess. You are the first song composed by the 'truth, goodness and beauty' of the universe. In the future, you must sing this song to all souls and to the more distant tomorrow!"

He slightly suppressed his smile, his golden eyes solemn and gentle: "My precious darlings, whatever you desire, you may ask the Father God, and the Father God will surely grant your wish."

As soon as Zeus said this, the eyes of the five goddesses present lit up.

Your Majesty, the word is law.

The promise of the God-King can be summed up in one sentence: omnipotent.

Although the God-King has never been a stingy god, he has bestowed upon each of his children absolute glory and authority.

But who would worry about having more?

Moreover, Eurynome was also a goddess of noble birth and great power.

However, when compared to the several wives Zeus publicly announced, her status paled in comparison.

Eurynome's heart was filled with the happiness of becoming the wife of the god-king, and the joy and pride of being a mother.

However, as a new mother, she also harbored a hidden worry that was difficult to express.

Although the order of Olympus was harmonious and peaceful, the amorous and beloved king of the gods had many children, and some competition among them was inevitable.

It's not just wives who want more pampering; children also want more fatherly love!

Leaving aside the goddesses who have no children, the goddess of civilization's memory and the goddess of divine justice have children—nine Muses, three Fates, and three Time Goddesses.

These goddesses possess the most important authority in the universe, are the most powerful assistants to their mother goddess, are deeply loved by their father god, and, in addition to their mother goddess's status, enjoy an absolutely exalted position in Olympus.

As for Dione and Selene, who did not receive the title of wife, their child, Aphrodite, needs no further explanation.

This eldest daughter of the God-King was deeply loved and adored by all the gods, no, by all living beings.

There were countless gods and fairies who wanted to serve by her side.

Even if one could only catch a glimpse of this sovereign of beauty each day, just one look at her most holy and flawless face would be enough to make countless beings willingly wait outside her palace day and night.

She doesn't need her God-King Father to bestow anything upon her.

Anyway, as long as she says something casually, countless gods will rush to fulfill it for her.

Her treasure trove contained countless rare and precious items, divine artifacts, and celestial treasures.

If you can make the Lord of Love and Beauty smile, then you will never lose your divine power!
As for the three moon goddesses, they are now the most favored princesses in the entire Hyperion family. As the daughters of the Great Mother Goddess of Perfection and Abundance, they now govern the phases of the moon and lack nothing.

Even so, His Majesty the God-King still dispatched thirty Star Fairies and thirty Star Gods each to serve as their attendants.

He also ordered the three Cyclopes to forge an incredibly powerful artifact for each of them, representing the power of the three phases of the moon.

The God-King personally inscribed Heavenly Dao runes on the three divine artifacts, adding many powerful and practical powers to them in addition to the power of Abundant Radiance and the Full Moon.

These three divine artifacts can also be combined into one, directly embodying the power of rebirth, perfection, and decay.

If the three moon goddesses were to act together, it would be equivalent to their mother goddess Selene taking action herself, making them incredibly powerful.

Compared to these goddesses, Eurynome could offer far less for her child.

As for Oceanus, the couple had far too many children.
Moreover, it wasn't just one daughter who married the God-King; there were also many who had designs on him but failed, which easily led to discord within the family.

For the sake of family harmony, no matter how much favoritism there is, there must ultimately be a limit.

In comparison, the foundation of the three goddesses of beauty seems less solid.

This was precisely what Eurynome was slightly worried about.

She was genuinely worried that her daughter wouldn't receive as much fatherly love as her children's older sister and future younger siblings.

Most of the daughters of the ocean are not domineering and greedy goddesses.

Unless it is truly necessary, they will not ask Zeus for anything on their own initiative.

Especially Eurynome, whose divine possessions would never allow her to ask Zeus for them.

Everything depends on the will of the God-King.

If the God-King bestows it, then I will accept it; if he does not, then I will wait quietly.

Fortunately, Zeus was fairly good at carrying water; although he couldn't keep it perfectly still, he managed to avoid spilling it.

Hearing the promise of her beloved god-king, which clearly showed great affection for her, Eurynome remained as serene as a lotus, but her heart was now greatly at ease.

She felt a surge of sweet joy in her heart, knowing that her beloved God-King also doted on her and her children!
These three Grace goddesses are not gods who would actively ask for things.

but
At this moment, it is our most beloved and great Father God who is giving us the most generous gift, so of course we should accept it!
The three Grace goddesses, embracing their father, fell into a brief moment of contemplation, each thinking about what they still needed.

However, given their nature, they ultimately could not imagine any unnecessary demands.

Representing the noblest and kindest virtues, they will never allow "greed" to come even one step closer.

Finally, embracing their beloved Father God, they gave their shared answer: "Dear and great Father God, we are your and Mother God's children, children of the sky and the ocean."

“You have already bestowed upon us the most precious honors and virtues that symbolize ‘truth, goodness, and beauty.’ What more could we possibly want to greedily demand?”

"Your glorious and great love is our most precious treasure! To ask for more would be to suggest that Your supreme love is lacking. And that would be the greatest falsehood and disrespect in the universe."

“Great Father God, we thank you for your generous and great promise. We cannot refuse your blessings, yet we cannot think of anything we lack. Please grant us what you desire.”

"If Your Majesty, with your wisdom and greatness, feels that we need anything else, please grant us what you deem appropriate. However, we do not wish for anything too extravagant."

“Because we already have everything because we are your children; and perhaps all souls need your glorious and great love more than we do.”

As the three lovely goddesses finished speaking gently and sweetly, Metis nodded in satisfaction, and Eurynome felt even more gratified.

My dear children, having such noble character is the most precious treasure.

As for all external things, what do they matter to the daughter of the god-king?

Zeus was greatly relieved upon hearing this and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The God-King's laughter echoed through the mountains, filled with unparalleled joy and pride.

The supreme god-king, with an irrepressible smile and a solemn yet joyful expression, proclaimed: "My dear children! Your detachment and self-control are the noble qualities that most please the Father!"

"But your Father God will never allow those beings who possess the virtues of generosity and self-control to prove their virtues through loss."

"Those who are content with virtue and goodness—I will surely grant them more!"
