Greece: I am the master of destiny!

Prometheus knew that it was irresponsible of him to only speak halfway.

But Uranus was arrogant and conceited. If he had actually told all the prophecies at once, he might have been implicated.

In this situation, let the gods suffer, and let Him bear the blame.

Not to mention that if everyone is guilty, it is the same as if no one is guilty. Unless Uranus wants to sit on the throne of the gods alone, the gods are still safe.

Uranus looked at the gods, but he did not speak, and the gods dared not speak either. The entire mountain fell into an eerie silence.

In the end, it was Mother Earth Gaia who spoke, breaking the eerie atmosphere.

"It's just a prophecy; it might not be unchangeable," she whispered to Uranus, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at the children.

Uranus remained silent, pondering the prophecy.

To be honest, Uranus did not feel that anyone could threaten his rule. Although his children were powerful, they were still no match for him.

But right after Prometheus finished speaking the prophecy, He sensed that preordained aura, a power that even the King of Gods could not resist.

Therefore, He had to consider which child would become the traitor who betrayed Him.

His first suspicion fell on his eldest son, Oceanus.

The reason is simple: Oceanus, due to his prolific and rapid reproduction, had already approached the pinnacle of divine power, making him the most powerful of the twelve primordial gods.

But He was in no hurry. He would wait for Prometheus to give a specific name before taking action. Uranus did not think this was a difficult prophecy to resolve, and He had even already come up with a solution.

No matter which god's name comes out of Prometheus's mouth, He will divide that god into four, keeping only one part in the world to maintain the laws, and throwing the other three parts into the abyss, darkness, and the depths of the earth.

In this way, the child will never be able to be His enemy.

Even though He had figured out a solution, He still felt very dissatisfied at the thought of someone daring to challenge His authority in the future, and the aura emanating from His body became increasingly oppressive.

Oceanus, who was being watched by Him the whole time, was covered in cold sweat. This usually calm and composed Lord of the Ocean could no longer bear the oppressive atmosphere and the cold, scrutinizing gaze of the God-King, and stepped forward.

"Father, I will never betray you," Oceanus knelt and said. "I swear here and now that I have absolutely no desire for the throne of the gods!"

As His solemn voice faded, the world responded to Him.

But Uranus remained silent; he did not believe in such a so-called oath.

The god of oaths has not yet been born, although the world will punish those who break their oaths.

Divine power will decrease significantly, and some authority may even be revoked, but as long as one ascends to the position of God-King and receives the blessing of the world's will, none of this matters.

As Oceanus knelt, the other gods immediately followed suit, kneeling down and swearing that they would never betray Uranus.

In the blink of an eye, all the gods knelt down, but Uranus remained silent. However, the oppressive aura emanating from him became even more terrifying, as if he were deliberately trying to warn the gods.

Uranus, who symbolizes patriarchy, is an absolutely unchallenged being in front of his children. This suppression comes from their status, not just from the difference in divine power.

Under the oppressive power of the god-king, the gods felt their souls being torn apart. They were filled with fear and trembled with dread.

If they, as the first generation of gods, were like this, one can only imagine how their descendants, the second generation of gods, were.

Prometheus felt as if his heart was being squeezed, the terrifying pressure making it hard for him to breathe, but he was, after all, a powerful god, and he was still able to resist.

Epimetheus, who was born with Him, had turned bluish-purple and would probably have suffocated to death if not for God.

Atlas, the eldest son of Iapetus and Clymene, the elder brother of Prometheus, and a god of moderate strength, was also pale and sweating profusely.

Even so, no one dared to beg for mercy. Everyone could see that the God-King was in a very bad mood, and no one dared to provoke him. They could only struggle on.

The merciful Earth Mother, seeing this, could not bear it any longer. She felt sorry for her children and tried to comfort Uranus:

"Your Majesty, my beloved, they are our children, not our enemies. Perhaps things are not so bad. How could you treat them so cruelly?"

At this time, Gaia was still a very kind mother. She was kind and gentle, and deeply loved Uranus and her children. Naturally, she did not want to see them fighting each other.

After repeated pleas from the Earth Mother, Uranus finally suppressed his aura.

Gaia breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the gods who seemed to have been granted a pardon, but before she could even fully relax, she heard Uranus finally speak.

"Since there are traitors among you, traitors are naturally not worthy of living in this world, nor are they worthy of leaving any bloodline."

He paused, his sharp gaze sweeping over the uneasy gods, and said coldly, "Since we do not know who the traitor is, from this moment on, I, by the authority of the God-King, declare that no one shall conceive new offspring."

This was the solution that Uranus eventually came up with.

Since all the gods are becoming stronger by having offspring, no one is allowed to have children until the traitor is found.

By cutting off the path for the gods to become stronger, even if all their divine power were combined, Uranus would not bother with them and could suppress them with a wave of his hand.

He even felt that even if the traitor was found, the gods would no longer need to reproduce, only in this way would His divine position be forever safe!

As for the world being imperfect, requiring the emergence of new laws?

What do these things matter before His divine throne?

Not to mention that He can continue to reproduce, and as He grows stronger, the other gods will remain stagnant, making Him even safer.

But before the gods could react, the gentle and kind Mother Earth was the first to change her expression.

"No!"

Gaia spoke decisively and firmly. This was the first time she had disagreed with Uranus since they got together, and the first time she had disagreed with Uranus's actions.

"This violates the laws of reproduction; you can't do that!"

Despite Gaia's rejection, Uranus persisted in his decision, leading to their first argument.

Hearing Gaia's angry accusations, Prometheus, the instigator of all this, sighed deeply.

He wanted to pull Uranus along to see if he could change fate, but now it seems that he has accelerated the gears of fate instead.
