Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 70 How did you get the hang of it so quickly?

Of course, Cronus is even more ruthless.

His plan was to first imprison Zeus and the others in Tartarus, and then pull them out one by one, devouring and digesting them!
Completely absorb their laws and power to achieve unprecedented strength.

Now, Cronus was secretly regretting that he had offended the goddess of the night so much!
However, upon further reflection, He realized that there were also deities within the rebel camp who possessed the laws of darkness.

If He promises the Goddess of Night that she may also be allowed to devour the laws that arise from the darkness, He might be able to win her over.

After all, what real benefit could the Goddess of Night gain from helping those traitors?

That rebellious son couldn't possibly offer a better price than me, could he?

Cronus pondered this, and immediately made up his mind to go and persuade the gods who might be wavering, in order to win their help.

The God-King is known for his decisive action; once a decision is made, he acts swiftly and decisively.

After discussing with Coeus and the others, He briefly instructed Coeus and Phoebe to handle the aftermath of the battlefield, while He himself set off to visit Themis, the goddess who held the divine order.

Coincidentally, Zeus
That's what I think too.

But before Zeus set out to persuade the gods, there was one more important thing to do.

That means stabilizing morale first.

After Zeus and Rhea returned safely to the Temple of Olympus, Hera, Metis, and the other gods, seeing the two gods unharmed, were finally able to truly relax.

Zeus is now the undisputed core. Anyone else can have an accident, but Zeus and Rhea, the Queen of the Gods, cannot have an accident, otherwise everyone will perish at the hands of the King of the Gods.

However, even though they felt much more at ease, the gods were still somewhat downcast after suffering a defeat in their first battle, and the atmosphere in the temple was somber.

The gods came forward to greet them, their eyes filled with worry and exhaustion.

Zeus was surrounded by goddesses who cared about him. Although he had suffered a slight setback today, there was no gloom on his face.

He maintained that reassuring confidence and composure, a gentle smile playing on his lips, and called out in a clear voice, "Gods, please follow me into the temple and take your seats."

After all the gods were seated, Zeus surveyed them, his steady and powerful voice echoing throughout the hall: "Gods, we have suffered a slight setback this time. It was indeed my carelessness; it was my mistake."

"The God-King is still the God-King. No matter how many wrong things He has done, no matter how tyrannical He is, there are still gods who are willing to be loyal to Him and serve Him."

"Even though we still hold an absolute advantage, this encounter has given us a profound lesson: we must not be careless or underestimate our opponents, especially against such a formidable adversary as the God King!"

His gaze swept gently across the faces of every deity in the hall, and his tone became quite relaxed and optimistic: "However, today we have also seen through the true nature of the God-King, and we can be certain that the God-King is no longer our match!"

"He can only resort to such despicable means, and he can only use this method once today!"

Zeus raised his arm and shouted confidently, "From now on, we only need to proceed steadily. The King of the Gods has no other help, and those despicable sneak attacks will never succeed! Victory will ultimately belong to us! Glory will ultimately belong to us!" Under the influence of Zeus' optimistic and relaxed attitude and powerful words, the gods' slight gloom caused by the defeat melted away, and their mood recovered considerably.

A deafening roar erupted from within the hall: "Victory is certain!"

After calming and stabilizing the morale of the troops, Zeus looked at Hera with tender eyes, his gaze filled with deep concern, and asked softly, "Hera, are you alright now?"

Hera gently shook her head, a tender smile blooming on her lips like the warm spring sun: "Zeus, I'm alright. Thank you for avenging me."

Zeus shook his head slightly. Although he still had a smile on his face, his tone became noticeably cold and resolute. Mentioning this made him instantly angry.

Although everything was under control and the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress strategy worked well, I was still very angry!
Hera will always be Hera of Zeus!
The names Zeus and Hera are forever linked!

He said gently to Hera, "Don't worry, Hera, I made them pay the price this time, but this is just the beginning. I will truly avenge you."

This is a promise from Zeus's heart, the will of the Most High God, which will surely be fulfilled!
Hera, who had long since regained her flawless, radiant beauty, pursed her lips and nodded slightly upon hearing this.

At that moment, her previously gloomy heart seemed to have been struck by a scorching star, instantly melting into a pool of warm spring water.

Her strength was completely melted by Zeus's gentleness and promise, and all her grievances and anger turned into deep trust and reliance.

She was even secretly pleased with Fauci's sneak attack.

Seeing Zeus go mad for her, her heart also went mad with joy.

Hera gazed at the god who occupied her entire heart and whispered, "Zeus, I believe you will do everything you say, but there is no rush. Your safety is the most important thing. We cannot live without you."

Hestia finally found a chance to interject. Her bright red eyes were full of tenderness, and her usually gentle and composed face was now serious. She said, "Zeus, you are the most important. Only with you can the hope of light and the bright future exist forever."

The resilient and intelligent Hestia possessed a reserved yet profound concern, but the gentle and radiant Demeter was quite different.

Demeter moved closer to Zeus, almost touching him. This most gentle and romantic maiden mother goddess's delicate face was overflowing with concern and dependence.

She boldly grasped Zeus's large hand and held it before the harvest, her crescent-shaped eyebrows furrowed tightly as she said with utmost concern, "Zeus, please don't make me worry anymore. I simply cannot bear this torment."

"No matter what, please make sure you take care of yourself first. As long as you're okay, everyone else will be okay too."

Zeus chuckled and nodded repeatedly, giving the most delicate Demeter a light embrace before parting ways, and with great perseverance, he withdrew his hand from the abundant granary of the goddess of harvest.

There are too many gods here right now, trying to calm the troops down. It's really not a good time to get too close.

As soon as Demeter made her move, Zeus keenly noticed that several people's eyes were not quite right.

Although we are not afraid, the timing is not right, there are too many external threats, and the most important thing now is to boost morale.
