Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 53 Where is there any investment that always results in a loss?
The beautiful Clymene sighed, her voice filled with helplessness and worry, and slowly said, "My child, you are a god of prophecy and foresight, so you should be able to clearly see that the corrupt order of the god-king will inevitably be overthrown; this is an irreversible inevitability."

"Whoever supports an order that is destined to be overthrown will inevitably be destroyed as well."

Prometheus sighed as well, for he understood this principle all too well.
He replied, “Mother Goddess, I understand that perfectly well.”

"But God the Father and my brother steadfastly defend the order of the God-King. Our honor is tied to the God-King. We cannot change their will, so we can only try to achieve victory."

Clymene frowned her beautiful blue brows, her expression becoming unusually grave. She said in a deep voice, "My child, you are a god of prophecy and foresight. I know you have always been proud of your extraordinary wisdom."

"However, I must tell you some unfortunate news: there is now a being with you who is wiser than you, Son of Cronus."

“My sister, Metis, the Oceanid, is the embodiment of wisdom, the wisest goddess of wisdom. You cannot defeat her wisdom.”

“The son of Cronus already possesses power no less than that of the king of the gods, and now with the assistance of the shrewd goddess of wisdom, victory is already assured.”

"Now, you should no longer think about fighting Zeus alongside Cronus, but rather find a way to escape this doomed war!"

The news revealed by Clymene shocked Prometheus, making him dizzy and filled with fear.

Metis was well protected by Oceanus, and not many people knew that she was the goddess of wisdom; at least Prometheus did not.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, completely shattering any lingering hope He had.

If it weren't for a life-or-death situation, and if Prometheus hadn't been unrealistically thinking about turning the tide, Clymene still wouldn't have told him this secret.

Prometheus remained silent for a long time, his mind churning with chaotic thoughts, leaving him in a state of utter confusion.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck.

A smile gradually appeared on His face, His eyes filled with determination and resolve. He said, “Mother Goddess, I have always believed that as long as we persevere and do our best, we can try anything and always find a glimmer of hope.”

“Father and brother, their war with the sons of Cronus is inevitable. They have chosen that path, a choice based on honor, and we cannot stop them.”

“For the honor of our family, and even more so for the safety of our Father God, I must do something; I cannot stand idly by.”

Clymene was shocked upon hearing this and hurriedly asked, "My child, what do you want to do?"

Prometheus said, “Mother Goddess, I will not do anything foolish. I think I have found help. If we still cannot win, then please help me to seek refuge with the son of Cronus.”

Clymene's long, blue eyebrows almost stood up, furrowing tightly together, before he finally nodded after a long while.

All she could do in the end was to advise, "My child, please don't do anything that can't be undone."

Prometheus no longer hesitated, turned around and resolutely ran towards Mount Otyrus.

There are some things that must be done, but in order to leave a way out for myself and my family, I can't do them myself; I can only offer suggestions.

While Prometheus was busy looking after his disappointing father and brothers, Olympus also welcomed an extremely distinguished guest.

After leaving Mount Otyrus, Nyx, the Lord of the Night, did not return to his dark and deep realm, but instead quietly went directly to Mount Olympus.

Now that things have come to this, she's going all in on Zeus!
Show your cards, stop pretending!
The goddess Nyx, as one of the most primordial deities in the universe, wields power far exceeding that of ordinary gods.

Apart from the God-King, no other primordial Titan could match her power.

However, even with an extremely high status and incomparably powerful strength, she was still destined for tragedy. Not only was the authority of Gaia, the mother goddess of matter, constantly being subdivided and stripped away as the universe evolved, but Nyx was almost indistinguishable from Gaia, and perhaps even worse off.

In the beginning, the universe consisted only of darkness and night, and she shared the supreme primordial authority with Erebus.

Then, darkness and night gave birth to light and day, and with the birth of these two offspring, power was instantly halved.

But at this point, it's not a big problem, because light and day are still in darkness and night.

Then the spiritual ruler Uranus took away the light and day, and even the source of the light and day was changed.

Your own child has become someone else's!

This is not just about losing a child; it's about having one's authority completely halved and utterly suppressed.

After that, the structure of the universe became increasingly perfect under Uranus's rule.

The successive appearances of the heavens, the vast universe, the brilliant stars, the all-encompassing light, and various radiant laws have continuously compressed the primordial authority of darkness and night, ultimately suppressing it completely by the celestial pantheon.

Even more terrifying is Uranus, the dreadful spiritual ruler.

Erebus, the embodiment of darkness, was completely stripped of his spirituality with a single glance by the supreme spiritual master, and no more spirituality will ever be born in the darkness.

Furthermore, Uranus transformed darkness into a defensive line against Tartarus, turning it entirely into a tool.

That was the first time the Lady of the Night had felt the divine tremor of fear.

Her first all-in bet was with all the gods, who had reached their limit, and together they overthrew Uranus.

It was a great battle that determined the new fate of the universe, in which the power of darkness played an indispensable role and was an essential aid in overthrowing the old order.

However, the reward she received was pitifully small, so small that it chilled even God's heart.

Aside from no longer living in an oppressive environment where her spiritual consciousness could be annihilated by Uranus at any moment, she did not receive any of the honors or real power she deserved.

The material goddess Gaia and the Celestial Family tightly control every corner of the universe. Although they outwardly accept her and share the universe, her actual power is negligible.

Aside from an empty title, it could be said that she gained nothing.

Even the children that Uranus took away and transformed into the primordial children that restrained her laws were not truly returned to her; they were merely nominally still her children.

She wasn't even allowed to enter the world.

In today's world, there is no symbol of time, no rotation of the sun and moon, and not even the flow of light and darkness.

In the cosmic order established by Cronus, even the descendants of the Titans were treated harshly, let alone the pure Outer Gods.
