Greece: I am the master of destiny!
Chapter 47 Planning Ahead
With Thanatos's scythe, Uranus's last remaining human form vanished completely.
Just like Uriah, the mountain god whose will He had once erased.
In the final moments before his consciousness faded, Uranus couldn't understand why his curse had failed.
Because He was so arrogant that even on His deathbed He believed that Prometheus had plotted against Him for His throne as the king of the gods.
But the problem is...
Prometheus never intended to become the king of the gods.
Not to mention that becoming a god-king means you can't escape this troublesome curse, the more important thing is...
Being the God-King might not be a good job.
Prometheus was the god of prophecy and change; he could know many things that had not yet happened, including the responsibilities that a god-king would have to bear.
The Chaos world itself has no personal will; the God-King is the representative of the world's will. Therefore, whoever becomes the God-King can obtain the world's great power and control the power of the creator god.
The power of creation also represents the authority of the God-King.
Now that we've covered the advantages, it's time to talk about the disadvantages.
Gaining global support means taking on the responsibility for global development.
The reason why Uranus was overthrown is ultimately because he violated the law of reproduction. He suspended the development of the world, which made it possible for him to be overthrown.
Torture of the Twelve Titans is actually not a very big problem for this world.
From the moment Uranus became king of the gods, fearing that his position would be challenged, he used his divine power to prevent the gods from procreation, thus halting the development of the world.
The absence of new gods means the absence of new laws, and without laws, this nascent world cannot be perfected.
He went against the original intention of the world's will, and as the god-king who was elevated by the world, he would naturally be rejected.
This is the fundamental reason why He failed.
This was the God-King personally chosen by the World Consciousness, and His end was so tragic. One can only imagine how much worse it was for the gods who later ascended to the position of God-King through force.
I'm afraid there's a slight problem with the world's development, and no matter who caused it, the God-King will have to bear this enormous burden, and who knows what might happen next.
Under these circumstances, Prometheus would not dare to easily covet the throne of the gods.
At least for now, He is not ready.
If Uranus hadn't been so reckless, dragging the world out of control, Prometheus wouldn't have been prepared to deal with him so quickly.
But since this God-King is no longer capable, and he himself is not prepared to become God-King, then who will become God-King is a very serious question.
The new god-king must be easy to control, not become a second Uranus, and certainly not become an intractable problem.
After much deliberation, Prometheus finally chose Cronus.
The reason is quite simple: Cronus is cautious by nature; in short, he tends to overthink.
Prometheus could easily use this trait to do certain things.
Moreover, only when Cronus became the king of the gods would Prometheus's subsequent plans have room to be implemented.
After much deliberation, Prometheus selected the candidate for King of the Gods, and then proceeded to weaken him.
Thanks to His behind-the-scenes manipulation, Cronus is now pitifully weak. Even with the support of the world's will, he is not powerful enough to be irresistible.
He might not even be as powerful as Uranus, who lost the support of the world's will. Perhaps he will gain more power later by driving the world's development, but that is too far in the future, probably many years from now.
This means that Cronus's weakness will persist for a long time, which gives him more room to maneuver.
Finally, with the addition of Uranus's divine prophecy, although Cronus had not yet become the king of the gods, Prometheus's confidence in confronting this second-generation king of the gods had reached 98%.
This is what we call being prepared for a rainy day.
Just as Prometheus was pondering his next move, the gentle voice of Hypnos, the god of sleep, rang out.
The gentle god of sleep bowed to Him and said with a smile, "Father, if there's nothing else, we're about to leave."
"Thank you all for your help this time." Prometheus smiled as well.
"Remember what you promised me." The goddess, shrouded in eternal darkness, glanced at Him, her deep gaze carrying a profound meaning.
"Of course I won't forget," Prometheus replied earnestly.
Having received a response, Nyx fell silent, turned and slowly walked into the endless darkness, followed closely by Hypnos, the god of sleep, and Thanatos, the god of death.
As their figures disappeared, the pitch-black night that had completely enveloped and sealed off this place slowly receded, and the twelve Titans and Gaia and the other gods instantly fell silent, watching that space with tense eyes.
Then they saw that Uranus had disappeared.
Only an invisible wisp of gas remained, rising continuously along the aura of the original body until it reached an immeasurable height, where the personified avatar had completely dissipated.
The gods breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Even now, they still feel like they're dreaming. Could something as terrifying as Uranus really be defeated?
The gods couldn't help but look up, but in the dark sky, only that white figure remained.
Upon seeing this, Cronus immediately became somewhat nervous.
He had already convinced the twelve Titans and was practically the undisputed next king of the gods. Now it was just a matter of whether Prometheus would object.
And what exactly is that strange power, like a curse, imposed upon Him?
Kronos needs to figure these things out.
"Prometheus, my child, I knew you could do it, I knew you could!"
Just as the gods were all deep in thought and had different ideas, the Earth Mother Goddess, who had been extremely nervous, finally stepped forward excitedly.
"Great Mother Earth, Your Highness Gaia, I have to thank you for your help. I only did what little I could," Prometheus said with a smile.
The twelve Titans also gathered around at this moment. Hearing His words, the gentle sea goddess Tethys couldn't help but laugh:
"Child, you are too modest. If it weren't for you, how could we have possibly been able to fight against Uranus?"
Oceanus, the god of the ocean, nodded and exclaimed, "I knew I hadn't misjudged you; you are a hero of our seas."
The other gods echoed this sentiment, and for a time they were all praising Prometheus, intentionally ignoring the most important issue at this moment.
Finally, it was Themis, who had no ulterior motives, who spoke up. The straightforward goddess of justice asked directly:
"Prometheus, we intend to make Cronus the next king of the gods. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, all the gods held their breath and turned their eyes to Prometheus.
Kronos clenched his fists tightly, barely daring to breathe.
It seems that, without the gods' knowledge, Prometheus's opinion had already taken on a very important role, though they were not yet aware of it at the moment.
Under the tense gaze of the gods, Prometheus slowly frowned.
