Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 263 My love, you are my supreme father!

Upon hearing this, the goddesses all sighed, saying in a tone that was both helpless and touched, "Alright, alright, what can we do when Father God always dotes on you the most? However, you should still think about this matter carefully."

"Next time, if you really don't want to, please speak up. We...we're willing to help you out!"

Atropos raised his little arm, both proud and confident: "Don't worry! Leave it all to me! We'll do it again next time!"

"Hmm...but next time, we should be more cautious."

As she spoke, she subconsciously rubbed her still slightly sore bottom.

The five goddesses exchanged glances and barely managed to suppress their laughter.

Zeus and Themis, inside the palace, heard everything clearly about the children's spectacular "loud conspiracy" outside.

In the end, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Themis nestled in Zeus's arms and said with a smile, "This silly child, always so fond of thinking he's so clever."

Zeus's face was full of indulgent smiles: "He is a little silly. However, I think that this child's fearless nature is somewhat like mine. Being a little mischievous and lively is not a bad thing."

Themis gave Zeus a charmingly disdainful look, a look that held both wind and amorous desire: "You'll just spoil her. If you keep indulging her like this, sooner or later she'll cause you a huge disaster."

Zeus chuckled softly, affectionately kissing his beloved goddess of justice on the pretty face, and mumbled, "With the children by your side and your diligent guidance, I'm not afraid they'll really turn bad."

“They are my and your children, they are inherently the best, and they are being taught by you, the most righteous and flawless person in the world. They will never go astray.”

The King of Gods' tone softened further: "My dearest Themis, my beloved, my most precious treasure. You have been carrying so much on your shoulders all this time; it must have been so hard for you."

"Everything is thanks to you. Having you by my side is my eternal fortune. Thank you, my beloved Themis, my dearest love."

The gentlest of them all, Themis, raised her hand and gently sealed Zeus's lips with her slender fingers.

In her golden eyes was an undisguised affection, deep enough to melt an ancient glacier: "My love, please don't say such things to me. I am content and willing to do what I can for you and for all living beings in this universe."

The goddess of justice suddenly reached out her arms and wrapped them around the back of His neck, offering Him a passionate kiss.

The heat spread from their lips and teeth; this sudden infatuation surprised Zeus at first, and then he became completely captivated.

After a long while, the goddess of justice finally parted ways with her beloved god-king.

The goddess of justice pressed herself tightly against Zeus's broad chest, her heartbeat questioning his heartbeat.

She confessed and expressed her feelings with utmost affection and seriousness:

"Zeus, my love, my supreme lord, my most loving and forgiving father."

“In the past, I also had my own ideas about what the universe should look like, and what its order should be like.”

“My Father God, the First King of Gods of old, the former ruler of the spirits—Uranus.”

"It was He, together with our most revered Mother Goddess Gaia, who established the original order of the universe."

"Thus the universe came to an end."

"But He never truly held this universe in His heart. The one who was high above seemed to only have eyes for the Mother Goddess. But even so, it was by no means an equal love."

"As for us... as His creations, we are not even worthy of being seen by Him out of the corner of his eye."

"How powerful He is. For any god, erasing them is as simple as a thought."

"He doesn't take everything seriously; everything is based solely on his own desires. His excessive love and desire always lead him to do whatever he wants without restraint."

"All the gods in the universe, in that endless despair and fear, abandoned everything and did their utmost to overthrow Him."

“‘Titan’,” Themis’s voice carried a hint of historical desolation, “this is a title that now represents nobility and glory in the universe.”

"But did you know that this term, when it was first coined, meant 'coward,' 'timid,' or 'trembling'?"

"Because in that era, no matter who it was, before that capricious spiritual ruler, they could only... tremble."

"We are not born noble; despair forces us to grow."

The alluring Themis lovingly stroked the cheek of her beloved Zeus.

Those golden eyes, which once judged all beings and determined fate and law, now held only a tenderness capable of melting everything.

She said softly, “My beloved, your father god, the second-generation god-king Cronus. He was once the youngest and most radiant being among us Titans. He was just like you are now.”

"You all share the same, most dazzling golden hair and golden eyes. He was once the most courageous god among us, and also the most steadfast and wisest god." "After our revered Mother Goddess devised that insane plan to overthrow the Father God."

"It was He who, when all his brothers and sisters were shrinking back in fear, took on the most terrifying and difficult burden alone."

"It was He who confronted our indescribable, unbearable, and nightmarish Father God."

"It was He who separated the oppressive heaven from the despairing earth; it was He who, with the primordial end, utterly severed the most vibrant love and desire of our Father God."

"After the war, we wholeheartedly honored Him as the second God-King. For all of us gods acknowledge that we are not as brave and decisive as He."

"He truly ushered in a completely new era. As the 'Creator God-King,' He created many new lives, giving the once lifeless universe its first real vitality."

“Those newborn beings also greatly relieved the divinity of us ancient gods, which was on the verge of madness due to eternal loneliness.”

"At that time, He was the undisputed King of Gods. We respected Him, and all living beings worshipped Him."

“But…” Themis’s voice carried an indescribable sorrow, “Soon, after He gained all power and strength, He began to… become more and more like our Father God.”

"He's becoming more and more like that tyrannical god-king who only cares about himself and acts arbitrarily."

"The new order He established quickly began to decay and become brutal. I saw with absolute clarity how dark and wrong that order was."

"But I was powerless to resist. All I could do was leave Mount Oterus, built on devouring and fear, with disappointment."

“Even now, I have no doubt that without your appearance, in the end, all of our gods would have been completely devoured by Him, one after another.”

“His greed is even greater than that of our Father. He wants to possess everything, everything.”

As she spoke, her voice seemed to be gently brushed by the sands of the past. Even the holy goddess of justice, known for her fortitude and resilience, revealed a rare trace of weakness and powerlessness from the past.

She instinctively snuggled even closer into the arms of her beloved god-king.

It felt as if, once again, I was overwhelmed by the sense of powerlessness that had gripped me during those dark years.

Now, she has someone to rely on.

Zeus did not interrupt, but gently picked up his beloved goddess of justice and strode to the highest throne to sit down.

He held the flawless order of justice securely in his arms, as if guarding the most precious treasure in the world. His palm gently stroked her cascading golden hair, and he continued to listen quietly in silence.

The delicate Themis pressed herself tightly against her beloved god-king's chest, remaining still for a moment until her breathing gradually synchronized with his heartbeat, before whispering, "Then, you came."

"My love, it is you. It was you, like a bolt of lightning piercing the eternal night, who appeared in our world. It was you who saved us from our despair; it was you who saved the entire universe from the brink of extinction; it was you..."

Themis's red lips gently touched Zeus's lips.

Her voice trembled as she spoke with unwavering emotion and determination: "My hero, my god-king, it was you... who saved 'order'."

"It was you who ended that endless darkness and brutality, that absolute dictatorship and greed."

"It was you who created a completely new order. You created the most glorious, the most brilliant, the most sacred, the most just, and the greatest order."

"My love, you are my supreme Father!"

Zeus always listened quietly, and in many ways, he was a very good listener.

But upon hearing this, He could no longer bear it.

He suddenly bent down, transforming thunder into tenderness, and kissed his beloved goddess with all his might.

It was a wild and forceful gesture, as if to completely and eternally integrate the goddess who symbolizes "order," and everything about her, into one's own divine body and divinity.

And "order" responded with its gentlest, most passionate, and most steadfast reply.

She embraced the neck of her beloved god-king, letting the two divine tides collide between their lips and teeth, creating ripples upon ripples.

After a long, long time, they finally separated.

Slightly out of breath, the Goddess of Order nestled lovingly in her God-King's arms, continuing to whisper in a dreamlike voice, "My love, how many times have I been afraid, so afraid that you too would be corrupted by the poison of power."

"I'm so scared, so scared that you'll change too, become something completely different from the beginning. Become another terrifying god-king who fills me with fear, a stranger yet familiar figure."

"But you haven't changed."
