Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 16 begins!

In this world, the sky, the earth, and the ocean form a unified whole. Now, with no more scruples, He is directly targeting the ocean and the earth, eroding His core authority.

Pontus, the embodiment of the sea, is an inland sea, while Oceanus is a great ocean current, each governing different concepts of the laws of water.

Now, Cronus intercepted part of the transformation of the ocean currents from virtual to real, and created the outer sea that supports the earth, thus taking control of the laws of water.

This move was not only a direct and open attempt to seize power from Pontus and Oceanus, but also a warning to Pontus and Oceanus, with whom he had always had a cold (almost hostile) relationship.

Earthquakes further restricted Gaia, the mother goddess of all things.

Cronus was angered by Oceanus's decision to marry his daughter Clymene to Iapetus, the weaver of death and a staunch supporter of the god-king.

As for the reprimand of Pontus, it was because He directly married his eldest daughter Eurybia to Crios, the framework of the universe.

Eurybia is a powerful Titan born from Pontus and the earth, the eldest daughter of Pontus, the essence of the earth and the inner sea, representing the vast power within the world.

Her power was extremely formidable, no less than that of the original Titans; otherwise, Crios would not have accepted this marriage.

Cronus, who had not yet fully consolidated his power, had nothing to say about this marriage. Everyone was doing things legitimately, and he could not interfere.

Pontus did this to protect himself and to find allies in the battle of the gods.

Each of the twelve Titans had a marriage alliance, and He, an "Outer God," was always trembling with fear within the emerging order.

Especially after Cronus became increasingly greedy and cruel, He became even more afraid, and thus actively sought protection by marrying into the Titans.

As an inner sea, He was not inherently violent and had a relatively peaceful nature. However, as the saying goes, "the tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease." Before the greedy god-king, He could not remain unscathed.

Possessing great authority over the sea is, in the eyes of the God-King, original sin.

After Cronus's multi-pronged move, Pontus dared not voice any opinion, but fear and anger had already gripped his heart.

But that's all; He would never dare to rebel.

Cronus did not go any further for the time being. Although he was becoming increasingly brutal, he was still rational and his methods were becoming more and more sophisticated. He did not push Pontus to the brink of death, and he kept the balance just right.

Pontus could only protect himself; he didn't want to offend Crios over such a trivial matter—it wouldn't be worth it.

The gods were indeed helpless against Cronus; His size was indeed perfectly measured.

However, more and more Titans left Mount Otrothus and rarely returned to feast and reunite.

And now, Mother Earth, the goddess Gaia, is truly furious; anger has enveloped her heart.

She had tolerated so many things before, but all she got in return was more demanding and unreasonable behavior!
The power to erode the earth can be tolerated, after all, the essence of the mother goddess Gaia is the origin of all things, it is matter.

But now they're creating an earth-shattering authority, what's the point of that?

Greedy Cronus! Just like his father!
This filled her with a chilling and infuriating feeling.

The goddess Rhea was equally unbearable.

After Cronus devoured the "ocean" once again, the mother goddess Rhea, who had reached her limit, could no longer tolerate Cronus's greed and cruelty.

No mother can bear to see all her children being devoured one after another.

Moreover, this situation will never end, it will never cease! So she went to see the mother goddess Gaia, and the two goddesses, sharing the same resentment and expectations, reached an agreement.

Then the mother goddess Gaia went to find the night god Nyx.

The three great mother goddesses together devised a plan that would shake the universe.

After receiving protection from Gaia and Nyx, Rhea was once again conceived under the laws of the God-King. This time, however, she did not completely allow Cronus to create the laws. While everything seemed normal, she added her own will.

Using her great authority, she stole control of one of Cronus's own laws from the laws he had created, and integrated it into her own laws, ultimately giving birth to her last child, the god who carried hope and the future.

To protect this secret, the mother goddess Gaia meticulously created an ordinary little island.

On a dark night, the Lady of Night, Nyx, used all her divine power to shield the cosmic gaze from all seeking eyes, turning this region into absolute darkness and secrecy.

In a secluded cave on this small island, she secretly gave birth to the child, tears streaming down her face.

Then, she took the great earthly laws—abundance and lushness—that the Mother Goddess had given her, and gave the stone formed from these powerful laws to Cronus as her newly conceived child.

Although Cronus felt that this was not quite what he had expected, because the law that He wanted to erode and nurture this time was the sky.

That symbolizes supreme authority, and that's all He needs now.

He was forever filled with longing and awe for the eternally high and all-seeing heaven, for His great father god Uranus, for His supreme authority.

The desire to possess never diminished, and as time passed, as He grew stronger and more centralized, His desire to possess only intensified.

He so envies the Father's absolute power that transcends everything!
He desperately wanted to go further!

Although He failed, He did not doubt Rhea, since the laws of conception are highly random and cannot simply produce whatever one desires.

Moreover, the heavens are such a powerful authority that it's reasonable that success wouldn't be so easy!
The God-King thought to himself conceitedly.

Furthermore, having consolidated his power to this extent, he had nothing left to fear; he felt invincible in the world.

These two laws were also extremely powerful in His eyes, and they were very compatible with Himself. He was very satisfied with them and greedily incorporated them into Himself.

He swallowed this newly conceived law without hesitation once again; for Him, this was commonplace.

Seeing Cronus still undeterred, Rhea felt utterly despondent. This time, her heart was completely at peace, filled only with endless despair and tranquility.

The great hero she once deeply loved and worshipped has, over the long course of time, become a god-king just like her father—greedy, cruel, ruthless, and vicious.

He no longer allows anyone to disobey Him, nor will He listen to any kind voices.

And He has learned to do whatever He wants, to be extremely greedy, and to have no bottom line whatsoever.

As time slowly passed, the hidden baby on Crete had grown up.

The Supreme God, King of Gods, Father of All Spirits, Ruler of the Universe, Lord of Thunder, Supreme Father, Lord of the Sky, Eternal God, Great King of the Everlasting Kingdom, Holy Lord of Redemption of All Beings, Protector of All Beings, Savior of All Existence, Great Liberator, Source of Wisdom, Source of Power, Creator of Life, Giver of Wealth, Guardian of Order, Master of Storms and Clouds, Supreme Being, Lord of Armies, Great Father of Fate, One and Only God with Eternal Time, All-Knowing and All-Powerful—Zeus!
He ordained a great journey of destiny!
