Greece: I am the master of destiny!

On the sacred mountain, Rhea's cries were heart-wrenching, but under Cronus's control, they could not be heard from the mountain at all.

Now, on the sacred mountain, besides Rhea and Cronus, only Hestia, the goddess of the hearth and the power of fire, remains.

The beautiful Hestia was startled by the mother goddess's lamentations, and she rushed into the temple of the god-king and goddess-queen in a panic.

She saw her father, the great god-king Cronus, sleeping peacefully on his bed, while her mother, kneeling on the ground, tightly clutching the baby's clothes in her arms, weeping heartbreakingly.

As for the child who should have been in swaddling clothes, he has vanished without a trace.

"Father God, Mother God, what happened?"

Hestia asked with a tense and worried expression, but the moment she opened her mouth, she saw her mother goddess Rhea's expression instantly turn extremely terrified, while her father god slowly opened his eyes.

"Hestia... I almost forgot about you. The fierce power of fire must taste delicious."

Cronus slowly sat up, his deep, unfathomable eyes looking at Hestia, who stood bewildered at the doorway, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

That smile was so terrifying, as if it were the discovery of some delicacy that would make even a god drool.

Hestia felt as if she were being watched by some extremely terrifying monster. Her hands and feet instantly turned ice-cold, and she stood there blankly, not knowing what was happening.

Just as Cronus raised his hand, preparing to unleash the overwhelming power of the god-king to directly suppress Hestia...

Rhea finally snapped out of her daze, and the gentle goddess of time let out a piercing scream before lunging at Cronus.

"Hestia, run! Your father has eaten your sister Demeter, and now he wants to eat you!"

Rhea's screams echoed throughout the temple and rang like thunder in Hestia's ears.

Realizing what had happened, Hestia's face instantly turned extremely terrified. She looked at Cronus, who had already locked his gaze on her, and trembled with fear, involuntarily backing away.

Amid Rhea's increasingly piercing screams, Hestia turned and ran. The whole ordeal was so terrifying, like a nightmare, that Hestia dared not even think about what had happened.

Kronos frowned in displeasure as he watched the fleeing red figure, then looked at Rhea, who was blocking his way.

It was Rhea who used her time laws to force Kronos to slow down for a moment, giving Hestia the chance to escape.

Otherwise, with Cronus's current power, Hestia would probably have been devoured in a single encounter.

Even so...

"Rhea, my love, do you think she can escape?" Cronus smiled helplessly. "I am the King of Gods, this world is my world. Where can she run to?"

Rhea's delicate face was streaked with tears, but she still stood firmly in front of Kronos, and even squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth:

"I will absolutely not allow you to hurt Hestia!"

"My goddess, your word is not yours," Cronus said with a smile, not angry at all.

With a slight wave of his hand, His overwhelming creative power restrained Rhea to one side. Rhea struggled frantically, but to no avail. Despair gradually appeared on the face of this goddess queen.

Kronos slowly stood up, preparing to catch the little snack that had run away and eat it again, but as soon as he made a move, his brows furrowed.

He looked out of the sacred mountain and saw a graceful golden figure slowly approaching.

It was Themis, the goddess of justice and order.

"What does Themis want with me?"

Cronus was somewhat puzzled. He glanced again at the direction Hestia had fled, but ultimately decided to deal with Themis first.

After all, as He said, this whole world is His world, so where can Hestia hide?

On the contrary, it was Themis, the Titan goddess, who came to see Him; there must be something she wanted to discuss.

Themis came to see Cronus because she had something important to discuss.

In this era when time is the least valuable, hundreds of years have passed since Prometheus created man.

Over these centuries, Themis walked the earth, watching the species called humans gather together and live on the land, gaining many insights.

At the same time, this goddess, guided by the world and guided by the rules of the universe, established one law after another, and her codex became more and more perfect.

Finally, through her tireless efforts day and night, a complete set of laws governing the present world was born.

Now, she brings with her self-created code of law to seek the approval of the God-King.

Once Cronus, as the king of the gods, approves of this code, the rules about fairness and order created by Themis will become universally recognized.

After hearing Themis's purpose, Cronus's heart stirred slightly.

As the king of gods, He could clearly sense that once Themis's Codex was established, the world could be perfected once again.

This was undoubtedly a good thing, and Cronus certainly wouldn't stop it; He readily approved of the code.

Almost the instant He acknowledged it, the laws of the world responded and changed, and Themis's strength rapidly increased.

This goddess of fairness and order was originally only considered to be of above-average strength among the Titans, but now, due to the appearance of a codex, she has become one of the most powerful beings.

As the god-king bound to the world, the world was further perfected, and Cronus gained even more creative power.

With the addition of Demeter, whom he had recently devoured and who had gained Demeter's power of law, Cronus felt that he was now so powerful that he was practically invincible.

Even if a God of Law is devoured, he will not disappear. However, because Cronus is their father god, possessing supreme paternal authority and being the king of gods, he can use the laws of the devoured God of Law.

Discovering this undoubtedly opened a door to a new world for Cronus.

Having children strengthens oneself, and eating the children one has grants access to the laws governing children. What could be a faster way to increase one's power?

Moreover, this can perfectly break the curse!

Since the child is inside His womb, it is not considered born, and the curse that would be overturned by His own child naturally does not exist.

This is a win-win situation!

Feeling the immense, ever-flowing power within him, and feeling utterly overwhelmed by victory, Kronos suddenly realized...

It seems it's time to reclaim the divine power that was divided up by the Titans.

It's time for Him, the God-King, to make an appearance in this world where people only know the Titans and not the God-King.
