Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 310 We Have God Above Us!
Mnemosyne's eyes flickered, carrying a meaningful and indulgent smile: "That... is a very important part of the surprise I prepared for your Father God."

"No matter who destroyed this flower, I will be very angry."

The words of reverence for the Mother Goddess, along with the mention of the Father God within them, restrained the restless hearts of the nine Muses.

Although Caliope was slightly puzzled, he immediately accepted the order respectfully and left.

The Mother Goddess's command was exactly what she wanted!
They were originally looking for a reason to descend to the mortal realm!

Perfect timing, I can get everything done at the same time!

The other muses also volunteered to follow their eldest sister down to earth to help their mother.

However, they were all stopped by Mnemosyne's wave.

This great goddess of civilization had a slight upturn at the corners of her lips, a smile that was neither quite a smile nor a frown.

She understood her beloved daughters' thoughts, of course.

But this time, we really can't let them all go.

Too much fanfare makes it less beautiful.

Such a trivial matter is not worth them going down to the mortal realm together.

The muses who couldn't descend to earth immediately became somewhat listless.

However, they could not disobey the Mother Goddess's request.

She could only frantically urge her beloved older sister within their nine-sister "spiritual communication group":

"Sister! We must teach those two wicked people a lesson!"

"Smash their ugly heads!"

"Fine, just beat him half to death!"

They at least knew that they had to abide by the sacred and just order of their own father god, and they could also realize that it was indeed inappropriate to directly protect humanity.

All I wanted to do was teach those two blind monsters a lesson.

After all, if this matter weren't so politically sensitive...

Given their status, they don't even need to find a reason.

If those two Abyss Sea Childhood Nightmares were directly destroyed, absolutely no god would dare to utter a single word.

Even if you were to rave about them right in front of Phorcus, Phorcus could only force a smile and offer a compliment:
"Well done!"

Meanwhile, in the mortal realm, the two newly-developed Yuanhai Nightmare brothers were squatting in a tribe that had been submerged into a swamp, contemplating the future of their "divine and monstrous" lives.

Their newly elevated spirituality, while savoring the sweet taste of wisdom, also made them experience for the first time a feeling called lingering fear.

Wisdom is like a sudden, rising tide; it may be wonderful and intoxicating, but it also brings clarity.

After all, humans aren't without powerful backers.

Historically, humanity has indeed been highly valued by many of the Olympian gods.

For now, there are no gods overseeing humanity, but... who knows what the future holds.

Their newly acquired cunning minds have learned to think and are capable of analyzing pros and cons.

If they really went from tribe to tribe eating each other like this...

I have a feeling that this risk is a little bit too high.

But if we were to ask them to simply give up their instinctive greed, to give up this delicious, nourishing, and top-tier food that could replenish their bodies and even help them evolve...

They were filled with resentment!

After much deliberation, the two deities finally discovered that the newly born wisdom had shown them a bright future.

Contact the back office!
It may be enjoyable to eat alone, but if something goes wrong and there's no god to protect them, these two fragile and insignificant divine descendants might not be able to bear the responsibility!

But what if this enormous benefit were offered to one's own backer...?

That would be completely different!

So, they quickly plunged back into the deep sea.

They went to their direct superior, who was also their bloodline—their mother goddess, Abu Sunaya.

This is the first benefit that wisdom brings.

They learned to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

I understand the importance of seeking asylum!
They could also use the Divine Network system.

But...

Given their status, their rank within the Divine Network system is roughly equivalent to that of ornamental reptiles in the gardens of Olympus.

The messages they send will certainly not be heeded by their noble mother goddess.

The messages sent will inevitably be read but not replied to, or may not even be read at all.

If they dare to recklessly engage in frequent information harassment...

Then their extremely sleepy and grumpy mother goddess would certainly not mind letting them personally experience what the eternal peace of the abyss is like.

At that time, Abu Sunaia was still sleeping in the dark Abyss Temple.

To be precise, this is not a palace, but a chaotic and distorted realm of absolute silence.

There is no light or sound here; apart from the life forms that Abu Sunaya herself has evolved, there is only the dark seawater.

Even the seawater, upon approaching this area, was distorted, transforming into various indescribable chaotic undercurrents, exuding a highly corrosive and deathly aura.

And in the very center of this desolate place...

This goddess, whose upper body is somewhat describable but whose lower body is indescribable, is sleeping soundly.

Since she was at home anyway, she didn't bother to maintain her divine form and simply revealed herself to the world in her most original form.

Her true form is like a continuous, dark mountain range, stretching across the bottom of the abyss.

From the perspective of a non-divine being, it was a terrifying existence that could not be measured by mortal standards.

It was a mixture of dark purple scales, countless twisted tentacles, and a liquid-like shadow that swirled with eerie starlight.

This is a goddess from the depths of the ocean, possessing the darkness, eeriness, mystery, distortion, unbridled nature, chaos, and primal qualities of the deep sea.

If these two Abyss Sea Childhood Nightmares weren't direct offshoots of her divine power's corruption, sharing the same origin as her...

Given the life level of these two little Karami, if they were truly destined to see her unrestrained divine body, they would immediately undergo a complete transformation.

That was absolutely an irreversible, profound "transformation to the Dao" level change, affecting everything from divinity to the physical body.

However, even so, she naturally exuded an aura of devouring, erosion, death, and distortion originating from the will of the abyss.

This left the two of them shivering in what should have been their home in the sea, experiencing waves of intense pain and discomfort.

That instinctive fear and awe, stemming from their bloodline and divine status, filled them with their full divinity the moment they first saw Abu Sunaia.

Their bodies, in the eyes of humans, were already enormous, like hills.

Ordinary humans standing next to them are like chicks next to a tiger.

However, the two of them now appear before Abu Sunaya as insignificant as a drop of water compared to a vast ocean.

As Abusunaia slept, her pair of translucent, dark, menacing bone wings, covered with glowing, blood vessel-like patterns, trembled slightly with the breaths of her divine body.

Occasionally, a blackish-red abyssal liquid, resembling petroleum, drips from the bone wing membrane. Once it merges with the seawater, it soon forms new abyssal nightmares along with the surging of the underwater currents.

These newly born Abyss Nightmare Spawns, the moment they develop even a sliver of intelligence, instinctively and desperately try to distance themselves from their Mother Goddess. Because if they dare to remain near their Mother Goddess, she will effortlessly assimilate and absorb them again with every unconscious breath, transforming them back into nourishment for her true form.

These two clever gods and monsters had no interest in paying attention to their terrified and ignorant newborn brethren.

The two of them were standing at the edge of the area, pushing and shoving each other, deferring to one another.

The meaning was clear: they both wanted the other to wake up the terrifying mother goddess who had a bad temper in the morning.

"You go."

"No, you go first."

"Brother, you are wiser, please go first."

"No, no, little brother, you, you're better at talking, you go first."

"No, no, no, brother, as the elder brother, it is my duty to..."

"Shut up! As the younger brother, you should be sharing your elder brother's burdens!"

Just as they were being polite and respectful to each other, and were about to come to blows because of their excessive courtesy...

"Om-"

The slumbering rhythm that permeated the entire Abyss Temple, bringing "absolute peace," came to an abrupt halt.

Abu Sunaia has awakened.

Her pure black eyes, devoid of pupils, slowly opened.

In those eyes, there was only the eternally rotating, unbearably dark reflection of the tides.

From her eyes...

Okay, I can't see anything.

However, from her expression, it's clear...

To be precise, it was from the expression on her stunningly beautiful face that you could tell she was in a bad mood after being woken up.

The terrifying divine power, the eerie aura that could distort divinity, began to surge violently and silently the moment she awoke!

This sent a chill down the spines of the two still-running Abyss Sea Nightmares, their divinity almost freezing!
They all looked at Abu Sunaya, and without the slightest hesitation, with all their might, they shouted in unison the most filial cry of their lives:
"Honorable Mother Goddess! Your son Mechela (Orus) pays homage to you, my noble one!"

"We have something extremely important to report to you, our loving one!"

The Abyss Singer stopped her slippery tentacle, which had been raised high and was about to strike.

However, it was not taken back.

This tentacle, a hundred times larger than the two brothers combined, was resting above their heads.

If those two filial sons had been even a fraction of a second slower, they would have already returned to the embrace of the deep sea and become part of the Mother Goddess once more.

The two of them dared not delay for even a moment, and hurriedly told Abusunaya about the situation with humans as quickly as possible.

This daughter of Phorcys and Ceto originally had no interest in this at all.

A hint of impatience even appeared on her expressionless face.

until……

She heard her two foolish children say that devouring humans could increase wisdom.

Only then did she truly become interested.

As a true God of Law, she does not need to increase her wisdom by devouring other intelligent life forms.

She also did not believe in the slightest that devouring some mortal spirits could increase her power.

but……

As a mother goddess, she was truly dissatisfied with the children born from her divinity.

Or rather, they were already incredibly impatient!

After all, most of the Abyss Nightmares she spawned were noisy, stupid creatures with low intelligence, confused and acting only on instinct.

She gets annoyed just seeing that kind of thing.

Noise equals unrest.

And she is the symbol of peace in the deep sea.

Now that such a good supplement is available, it is indeed worth paying attention to.

By simply devouring some mortal spirits, one can grant their children wisdom, peace, and intelligence.

That's so easy!

She did not doubt the truthfulness of her two children's words.

Firstly, there are two typical cases right in front of him. These two fools are now clearly much more intelligent than his other children.

Secondly, she didn't believe that the two children would dare to deceive her.

And most importantly, as a goddess, she knew very well how extraordinary the materials used to create humankind were.

However, although Abusunea may seem like a homebody (which she is), she is actually a true disciple of the Deep Sea pantheon.

That is, caution (or rather, cowardice and timidity, the instinct of a fence-sitter)!
She didn't want to get involved in the affairs of those great gods of Olympus for no reason.

After the two children finished speaking, she did not make any move.

Instead, he skillfully opened the Divine Network and glanced at the pinned announcement on the Olympus homepage.

[Notification Regarding the Supreme Eternal God-King's 'Reward' to Prometheus - Office of the Divine Justice Order]

[The Latest Legal Definition of the Divine-Mortal Covenant – Legal Department of Sacred Justice Order Destiny]

After confirming the announcement, she glanced at her own "Inner Sea God Family Group" again.

The group already has over 999 members.

The elders in the family are all discussing this matter intensely.

She then nodded slightly, confirming her decision.

Humanity is indeed no longer protected by any god.

Moreover, that Titan Prometheus truly offended His Majesty the King of Death.

Even a cold, aloof woman like her, who is emotionally detached and prone to outbursts, was astonished by the actions of the male gods in the Iapetus family.

There wasn't a single normal god in their family!

That's... His Majesty the God-King!

He was the supreme god-king who personally ended the old order and created a new one!
That truly invincible Lord!
Prometheus, how dare He?!
Even if your mother goddess Clymene really climbed onto the throne of the God-King (although everyone in the family group was gossiping that this was true, the cautious Abu Sunaia only believed what she saw with her own eyes).

That doesn't mean you can act so recklessly!

Isn't this courting death?

Even the most effective pillow talk won't work in this situation, right?

Let alone experiencing it firsthand, or even seeing it with one's own eyes, even now, just within my own absolute domain, I can imagine what His Majesty the God-King looks like when he's angry.

Abu Sunaia was so terrified that she trembled all over, her scales stood on end, and her countless tentacles curled up.

In the past, during the great war between the gods and kings, and in the subsequent creation of the Three Realms and Three Domains, His Majesty the God King's supreme divine might has been indelibly and deeply engraved in the deepest part of the divinity of all the gods!
