Greece: I am the master of destiny!

Chapter 101 Metis: I must get married as soon as possible

Cronus had been wanting to get rid of Prometheus for quite some time.

His feud with Prometheus can even be traced back to the reign of a god-king.

If Prometheus hadn't directly pointed out his identity as the cursed son, Uranus wouldn't have been so cruel, nor would he have allowed him to fall into such a miserable state.

He would not allow Him to be weak for so many years, or to be looked down upon by those Titans for so many years.

Cronus blamed all his past misfortunes on Prometheus, and one could even say that he owed Prometheus a great deal for making him determined to become the king of the gods.

Because He wanted revenge, but He couldn't take revenge without being the God-King, that's why He was so determined to seize the throne of God-King.

But it turned out He was overthinking it.

Even now, as the true God-King, revered by all gods and feared by all things, the true master of the Chaos world, possessing the power of creation and all the authority of a God-King—

But he found that he still couldn't defeat Prometheus.

Because that damned guy created the underworld.

The underworld is a world unto itself, and the power of Chaos cannot affect its interior. As the lord of the underworld, Prometheus possesses absolute power and authority within it.

Cronus couldn't erase the entire underworld, so to deal with Prometheus, he either had to enter the underworld himself or lure Prometheus out.

Cronus immediately ruled out the option of entering the underworld, for he had not forgotten the taste of death he had experienced there.

He would never allow himself to enter that uncontrollable world again.

Then there's only one way left.

How can we force Prometheus out of the underworld?

Cronus fell into thought. He had been busy fighting the cursed child, so he hadn't had time to deal with other gods or matters.

Now that the threat of the cursed child is completely over, He has only two things to consider.

The first thing, naturally, is how to become stronger. Kronos doesn't think he's reached his limit yet.

He had always felt that he was missing a bit of the essence, and could never reach the level that Uranus had reached. But now, with the law of division, everything is different.

Although He cannot get back His lost origin, He can make up for it with the resources of others!

With the law of division, wouldn't all the gods in this world be at his mercy?

The second thing was how to kill Prometheus, whom they hated the most.

After much deliberation, Cronus finally discovered—

These two things can perhaps be done together.

His gaze fell upon Hades, and his expression softened. He smiled and said, "Hades, I trust your loyalty to me. Now I need you to do something for me."

In the underworld.

Prometheus snapped out of his daze and looked up to see Hecate frowning as she stared at the silk threads before her.

Countless threads were tangled and knotted together, a complete mess.

"The world is about to change," Hecate sighed softly.

Prometheus smiled and did not deny it.

"What? Abandon the entire ocean for the underworld? Metis, are you kidding me?"

:

Deep in the ocean, Oceanus stared in astonishment, but the goddess standing before him showed no sign of joking.

Metis's expression was more serious than ever before, and he repeated with utmost seriousness, "Prometheus foresaw the impending danger to our ocean and specifically sent Nicholas to inform us."

"We must leave for the underworld immediately, or we may face annihilation."

Oceanus's expression grew increasingly puzzled. The ocean god couldn't help but ask, "What kind of danger would require me to abandon the entire ocean and hide in the underworld?"

"Besides, there are so many lives in the ocean; we can't possibly move them all to the underworld. What will happen to them if we leave?"

Tethys also spoke up, his face full of disapproval: "Your father is right. If we leave, what will happen to your brothers and sisters?"

The two gods trusted Prometheus implicitly. When they heard Metis say that it was Prometheus's prophecy, they became alert, but couldn't help but hesitate.

Just as Oceanus said, what kind of threat could force this ocean god to hide in the underworld?

He is the elder brother of all the Titans, and even the ocean currents that circulate around the world treat him with respect.

Not to mention, if there really is such a powerful threat, and they run away, what will happen to their children?

Over the past few thousand years, children of the oceans have been scattered all over the world; we can't possibly take them all to the underworld, can we?

Seeing Oceanus and Tethys so stubborn, Metis looked helpless.

As the goddess of wisdom, she was well aware of the gravity of the situation. Prometheus never spoke without reason; since he had told them to seek refuge in the underworld, the trouble this time must be considerable.

But she was also well aware of her parents' stubbornness, and that she knew she couldn't persuade them by force.

Gritting her teeth, Metis made up her mind and said simply, "Actually, I am preparing to marry Prometheus and want to ask my father and mother to go to the underworld to discuss the wedding date with Prometheus."

Oceanus and Tethys were both taken aback by what they heard, and Oceanus's face showed a visibly delighted expression.

"You're going to marry Prometheus? So soon?"

Metis felt his ears burning, but he still forced himself to say, "Prometheus and I hit it off immediately, and I have grown to admire him greatly over time. I ask my father and mother to act as matchmakers for me, as I wish to marry him as soon as possible."

Oceanus burst into laughter upon hearing this, all his previous doubts vanishing instantly: "Very well, I will go to the underworld with your mother goddess to propose marriage on your behalf and discuss the wedding date."

Tethys was also happy that his daughter had found someone she truly loved. Just as the three gods reached a consensus and prepared to go to the underworld—

A black shadow arrived at the ocean and blocked their way.

"My name is Hades, son of King Cronus and Queen Rhea. I have come to invite Oceanus and the sea goddess to a banquet on the sacred mountain."

"The God-King has said that those who do not go will be considered traitors."

Upon hearing this, the entire Oceanus Temple fell silent. Oceanus's expression was incredibly varied, and Tethys also looked worried.

Metis frowned, about to speak to delay, when he noticed the young man named Hades scanning the temple as if he didn't see them, muttering to himself, "Where are the Oceanids?"

Oceanus: "?"

Meeting Oceanus's bewildered gaze, Hades frowned: "The Oceanid is also gone."

Tethys: "?"

As Hades passed by the three gods without looking to either side, they could even hear him muttering in dissatisfaction, "He ran so fast. It seems that damned Prometheus foresaw it in advance."

"Damn it, how am I supposed to report back to the God-King?"

As He spoke, He turned and left without ever glancing at the three gods.

Metis: "?"

Isn't this a bit too obvious?

As Metis was pondering this, he heard his father ask, "Didn't He see us? Is He blind or mentally challenged?"

"It must be. That's incredibly careless," Tethys said, frowning. "It seems Cronus suffered a backlash for eating his child. I don't have such a foolish child; even Nike is smarter than him."

Hades, who was leaving, stumbled, while Metis—

The goddess of wisdom covered her face, suddenly feeling a little reluctant to admit that these two were her parents.
