Greece: I am Zeus!

Chapter 71 Poseidon: What could possibly be wrong with me?

After separating slightly from Demeter, Zeus looked around at the gods, revealing a gentle and confident smile. "Please rest assured, everyone. I am confident in everything. I will be fine."

"My dear brothers and sisters, my dear comrades, we never need to worry about temporary gains or losses. Temporary victories and defeats are not important. Everyone's safety is the foundation of Olympus."

"Only when everyone is safe can I confidently charge into battle on the front lines. You are my strongest support!"

Then Zeus turned his gaze to Poseidon, who was still not in good condition, his eyes filled with concern and comfort, and asked gently, "My dear brother, Poseidon, are you alright now?"

Poseidon, who was clearly not in good condition, forced out an awkward smile.

In this battle, He was the most severely injured; His divine body was blasted beyond recognition by Coeus.

Of course, as long as it is not completely destroyed, it can be recovered very quickly.

The physical body of a God of Law is ultimately not the fundamental issue; the difficulty lies in raising the upper limit, not in restoring it.

Although He was the one who suffered the most severe injury, the gods were most concerned about Zeus. He was neglected and inevitably felt a little jealous, but Zeus's concern warmed his heart.

Seeing that all the gods' gazes were fixed on Zeus as he spoke, He naturally retorted defiantly, "It's just a minor injury. What could possibly happen to me? It's nothing to mention!"

At this point, Poseidon gritted his teeth, filled with hatred, and his resentful voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth: "I was merely ambushed and betrayed by those two despicable scoundrels who had no honor whatsoever!"

"They are primordial Titans, noble sons of Uranus! Yet they have no honor whatsoever, acting so despicably and launching such a vile sneak attack!"

"Next time, I will make them pay the price! I will make them pay an unforgettable price for their despicable acts today!"

Upon hearing this, Zeus abruptly stood up, raised his arms high, and let out a hearty and powerful laugh, a laugh full of confidence and strength that reverberated throughout the palace.

"Yes! It will definitely happen! My dear comrades, I assure you, all those gods who dare to oppose us will ultimately choose to pay the most terrible price!"

"Everyone has worked hard in this battle! What could be more important than a celebratory feast after the war?"

Zeus opened his arms to all the gods and extended his sincerest invitation: "My dear comrades, let us begin our feast! Let us use the finest divine wine and the most delicious celestial food to relieve your fatigue!"

Words that encourage God came from His mouth: “A temporary setback is only because the opponent has given up glory! But they will only have this one chance to succeed with such despicable tricks!”

"After today, they will never have another chance!"

"Victory will surely belong to us! It will only belong to us!"

As soon as Zeus finished speaking, thunderous cheers erupted throughout the entire Temple of Olympus.

The slight gloom cast by the defeat was completely dispelled by this declaration full of hope and strength, and by the atmosphere of the upcoming feast.

The gods regained their divine radiance and were filled with confidence once more!
After the gods had indulged in their feast, Zeus keenly noticed that Metis seemed somewhat downcast and melancholy.

He subtly gave Rhea a wink, and Rhea immediately understood, quietly taking over the reins of the banquet and gracefully presiding over the temple's jubilation. Amidst the commotion, Zeus quietly approached Metis, his tall and majestic body bending slightly, and in a whisper only they could hear, gently invited her: "My dear, bright-eyed goddess, would you like to leave this clamor with me, go for a walk outside, and clear your mind?"

Metis nodded slightly and followed Zeus out of the noisy temple.

The two gods walked side by side on the magnificent and sacred Mount Olympus.

In this short period of time, Gaia, the mother goddess of all things, has used her supreme power to repair the world that was ravaged by war.

The cracks that tore the earth have been healed, the collapsed mountains have risen again, and all kinds of flowers, grasses, and trees have once again covered the earth.

However, those lives that were utterly destroyed in the terrible war of the gods could never be recovered.

Flowers bloom in profusion, grass and trees are lush and green, and a rich fragrance permeates the gentle breeze. Yet there are no birdsong, bees, or butterflies; the whole world is unusually quiet, so quiet it feels empty.

Zeus, with a gentle smile on his handsome face, gazed at Metis, who was clearly depressed, and spoke first, saying softly, "This time it was just a minor setback, but the advantage is still with us, and we have also tested out the hidden assistance of the King of the Gods."

"In reality, we haven't really lost anything, and victory is still more in our favor."

"Then, my dear goddess with bright eyes, what heavy worries prevent a smile from appearing on your exquisite face?"

Zeus paused, his voice deep and magnetic, filled with boundless comfort and tenderness: "How I wish you knew that not seeing your radiant smile hurts me more than this small setback."

Zeus's sweet words of comfort successfully stirred deeper ripples in Metis's heart, but instead made her feel even more melancholy and guilty.

She gently furrowed her beautiful brows, her delicate lips, as tender as cherry blossoms, pursed slightly, and her voice was as soft as a breeze across the ocean, yet carried a distinct bitterness.

"Zeus, the King of the Gods, has suddenly appeared as an ally this time. Perhaps, it is because of my existence that he has appeared."

"The two great gods of intellect were originally low-key and rarely involved in disputes. Their relationship with the God-King was not particularly close."

"With their all-seeing wisdom, they would certainly not fail to understand the current situation, nor would they be unaware of how dangerous it would be to help the God-King now."

"However, this time they unusually stepped in to help the God-King."

"It must be because the God-King knew of my existence and exaggerated my threat that he asked the two Titans to take action."

“With the help of the gods, it will be very difficult for us to win this war.”

Zeus thought to himself, "This silly girl is actually feeling guilty about this little thing, even though she has no responsibility at all."

However, outwardly, He nodded in agreement and subtly echoed, "Yes, that does seem to be the real reason they took action. They must have felt threatened by you, which is why they had no choice but to help the God-King."
