Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 51 Iapetus: Loyalty!
Themis, the sacred and majestic goddess of justice and order, is forever so holy and noble, majestic and sagacious, with golden hair and golden eyes that radiate a warm glow.

She was always dressed in white, pure and flawless, with an incomparably beautiful face, sacred and inviolable, with beautiful and bright eyes, and a resilient and unyielding spirit.

However, this goddess, so beautiful and flawless, also has a very hard fist!
Gods who can uphold order are all extremely powerful.

Without overwhelming force, it is impossible to defend order.

Upon hearing Iapetus's words, the sacred and noble goddess immediately rebuked him sternly: "Enough, Iapetus! Do you understand the divine order better than I do?"

The holy goddess of justice rebuked Iapetus without hesitation: "The Mother Goddess and the Lord of Radiance are not wrong. This is not a matter of violating the order of the universe. The Queen of Gods and the son of the King of Gods have not destroyed the order of the universe. This is merely a family matter of the King of Gods, and the gods should not get involved."

After saying this, the beautiful Themis realized her tone had been a bit harsh, so she softened it slightly and said to Cronus, "Your Majesty, if anything truly violates the order of justice, I will certainly take action to punish it."

Themis turned into golden light and disappeared as soon as she finished speaking, leaving Iapetus speechless.

Cronus was now expressionless, his face covered in frost, and he was completely silent.

The goddess of civilization's memory, Mnemosyne, raised her gentle and beautiful eyebrows slightly with a gloating smile, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

She said softly, "Your Majesty, son of Uranus, I have no fighting ability, and I certainly cannot be involved in your family affairs."

Having said that, he turned and left without hesitation.

In that short time, most of the gods in the temple had left.

Or rather, apart from Cronus, the king of the gods, only Iapetus and his children were gone.

For a moment, Iapetus was left standing there awkwardly in the temple, wondering if he should leave as well.

Should he really listen to his wife Clymene's advice?

But His deep-rooted loyalty to Cronus ultimately led Him to choose to stay.

Kronos's expression was no longer just unpleasant; he was now practically the Frost God-King, his expression utterly terrifying.

He smashed the throne of the goddess beside him to pieces, but the anger in his heart could not be extinguished. Instead, it burned brighter and brighter, almost threatening to devour him once again.

He looked at the hesitant Iapetus and was startled, fearing that even this only loyal follower might leave him.

He hurriedly said, "Iapetus, my dearest comrade, do not believe their excuses. They have already broken the sacred oath they once made."

“They have forgotten why our honor exists; they fear the enemy; they harbor unspeakable sinful thoughts.”

"They may forget, but we cannot forget that for our honor we must unite and defeat these destroyers of order."

Iapetus nodded heavily; he decided to trust Cronus after all.

As in countless times before, Cronus always manages to achieve final victory.

In the end, only Cronus will possess all the honors.

He is the most courageous and powerful god-king.

At this moment, Atlas, who had been slapped away by Gaia, finally returned.

He wasn't actually harmed, just embarrassed. But being reprimanded by the Mother Goddess Gaia wasn't too shameful. He had already returned to Mount Otyrus, but he didn't dare enter the temple directly. Instead, he quietly watched from the outside as many great gods left. It seemed there weren't many gods left before he cautiously entered the temple.

Upon entering the temple, He quickly scanned the area, confirming that the Mother Goddess Gaia had also left. He breathed a sigh of relief and then strode forward with his head held high.

"Your Majesty, Father God, what has happened?" Atlas asked loudly.

Cronus glanced at Him, too lazy to speak, and simply waved his hand.

Prometheus pulled Atlas aside and whispered to Him what had happened and everything that had occurred in the temple.

Upon hearing this, Atlas was enraged. His rough voice was loud and clear, making the magnificent temple tremble: "Cowardly gods! They have betrayed their sacred oaths and trampled on the sacred order!"

"Your Majesty, the Great God-King, you do not need to rely on these cowardly gods. We alone are enough to destroy all the rebellious thieves!"

Prometheus, the prophet, was responsible for the "literary" part of the Iapetus family's combination of both literary and martial talents.

However, His father and brothers did not seem to value this "literary" ability; they were more obsessed with powerful strength.

He was secretly lamenting that his eldest brother's divine blood contained only rage, and his second brother's mind contained only recklessness.

The Father God's mind is filled only with blind loyalty to the God King!
If the God-King is still the God-King admired by all the gods, still the God-King who is invincible, then firmly following the God-King's side is absolutely the right thing to do.

But
But it is now clear that the son of Cronus is far more like the ruler of the universe than Cronus himself.

The gods have all turned their backs on the King of Gods, parted ways, and gone their separate ways.

Continuing to be loyal to the God-King to the death is probably a dead end!

Prometheus glanced at his father and brother and gave up on trying to persuade them.

Although He was the one in charge of strategy among the family’s series of brave and resourceful individuals, his father and brothers were often unwilling to listen to plans that differed from His own.

Seeing the King of Gods discussing how to start a war with his father and brothers, and knowing that he could not stop them, Prometheus was extremely anxious.

He knew that he had to find a way to win over the powerful primordial Titans as allies, or he would only face defeat.

He pondered and pondered, but ultimately realized with pessimism that there seemed to be no good way to draw the Titans into the war.

Oceanus and his wife don't need to worry; they've already dropped the pretense, and their support for Zeus is obvious. The fact that they're not taking action themselves is already the greatest "mercy" and final restraint they can show Cronus.

Even though the King of Gods was furious, he still didn't dare mention Oceanus when summoning the gods, as if Oceanus didn't exist in the world.

Oceanus has openly declared his support for the son of Cronus!

And then there's Crios, the framework of the universe, and the radiant Titan Hyperion and his beautiful wife Theia—they couldn't possibly be included either, as their opinions on the King of Gods were almost impossible to hide.

Look at what he said today; his refusal was tinged with sarcasm.

The excuse they came up with was so ridiculous it would make even God lose his composure—what family matter?
