Greece: I am the master of destiny!
Chapter 7 Retribution from the God-King
It's not difficult to guess Uranus's preferences.
As the absolute ruler of this world, the celestial king who wields the power of creation, Uranus naturally reveres power and believes that there is nothing that absolute power cannot solve.
This is also the source of His confidence when faced with the prophecy of Prometheus.
Through that brief conversation, Prometheus roughly figured out Uranus's character, so when Atlas was causing him trouble, he deliberately led Uranus to say those words in order to attract the attention of the king of the gods.
At this moment, because of the prophecy, the God-King was extremely disgusted with his twelve children and showed them no kindness whatsoever, but this disgust did not extend to his grandchildren.
So, as expected, after hearing these words, He praised Atlas highly.
This can also be seen as a warning to the twelve first-generation gods who had just been suppressed by Him, reminding them that they possessed supreme power and should not harbor any improper thoughts.
Thus, the hatred that the twelve first gods had for Prometheus was naturally transferred to Atlas.
Poor Atlas was completely unaware that he was being used as a pawn, and he was given the title of the God Who Holds Up the Sky, feeling proud and self-satisfied.
If things had ended there, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but Uranus still felt it wasn't enough.
This newborn world is so desolate, there is nothing there. The gods are all diligently performing their duties, but the king of the gods has nothing to deal with.
Simply put, the God-King was bored.
In the past, at this time every year, Uranus would call his twelve children to him and admonish them, teaching them how to respect their father and how to use the laws to maintain the world, so as to solidify his position as the king of gods.
But after this prophecy was made, the God-King became irritated by these creatures and refused to let them come near him.
Furthermore, the great Earth Mother Gaia also refused to get close to Him, as a way of expressing her dissatisfaction with the violation of the law of procreation.
Bored out of his mind, Uranus summoned Atlas, the god who held up the sky, whom he had appointed himself, to serve him.
Atlas was straightforward and genuinely respected the powerful King of Gods. Surprisingly, after talking with him, he became quite to Uranus's liking.
To gain the approval of the god-king, Atlas even performed the feat of moving a mountain on the spot, thus demonstrating his immense strength.
Upon seeing this, Uranus burst into laughter, his wild and powerful voice echoing throughout the world. All the gods, witnessing this scene, fell silent in fear.
But happiness is fleeting.
As Atlas lifted mountains again and again, the great god-king no longer smiled; He had grown tired of it.
At this moment, countless eyes were watching Uranus's every move. Seeing that He seemed to have finally grown tired of it, one of the gods quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
He is Ourea, the brother of Uranus and the god of mountains, the divine incarnation of mountains and valleys.
In the beginning, Mother Earth Gaia gave birth to three gods: the sky, the mountains, and the sea, and only then did the world have its outline.
It is covered by the sky (Uranus), supported by the earth (Gaia), surrounded by the ocean (Pontos), and supported by the mountains (Uria).
Because Uranus was so dazzling and favored by Gaia, and later became the king of the gods, his two brothers were said to have little presence.
But this is also related to the personalities of Uriah and Pontos. Both of these gods are quiet and down-to-earth, and unwilling to participate in battles.
Atlas repeatedly lifting the mountain was essentially torturing Uriah's body, a form of torture for him, but Uriah dared not say anything and could only silently endure it.
Seeing that Uranus was finally fed up, Uriah thought that this long ordeal was finally coming to an end. But before she could even catch her breath, she heard Uranus suddenly say:
"Heroic Atlas, the god who holds up the sky, I have seen your power, but it seems that this is not yet your limit. Can you throw this mountain into the distant ocean?"
Upon hearing this, Uriah, the god of mountains, Pontus, the god of the sea, and even Oceanus, the god of the ocean, all changed their expressions.
Atlas was taken aback for a moment, then revealed a confident expression and said loudly, "Of course, Your Majesty the God-King!"
Uranus was even more pleased with Him, and laughed loudly, saying, "Good! I knew I hadn't misjudged you! Come on, Atlas, let me see just how powerful you really are!"
Atlas was full of fighting spirit. He lifted the mountain in front of him again, and then took heavy steps toward the edge of the world. Finally, in the horrified gaze of the gods, he threw the huge mountain into the ocean!
In an instant, the sound of surging water and the buzzing of colliding laws resounded throughout the entire world!
The mountain is the embodiment of Uriah's divine body, while the ocean is the embodiment of Oceanus's divine body. Throwing the mountain into the ocean is equivalent to these two gods being collided at the same time!
Oceanus and Uriah felt a surge of their own laws, and pain instantly filled their bodies. The two gods let out a wail at the same time.
But Uranus burst into laughter at that moment, as if he had discovered something extremely interesting and new.
He praised Atlas loudly and asked with great interest, "Can you throw it any further? Can you throw it into the distant ocean?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to give it a try!"
Atlas was also full of fighting spirit and quickly lifted another mountain, while Pontos, representing the ocean in the distance, trembled in fear!
Despite their fear, the massive mountain was still thrown down, and the loud noise and buzzing echoed through the world once again. But this time, it was Pontos and Uria who cried out in agony.
Uranus, watching this scene, revealed a very pleased smile.
He remembered the prophecy that had troubled him.
His relatives will betray him, and his children will raise their knives against him.
His most powerful child is Oceanus, the ocean god with immense and perfect divine power.
His relatives were Uriah, the supreme god, and Pontus, who, due to Oceanus's birth and growth, had half of his power over water taken away and fell from supreme godhood to the pinnacle of great godhood.
These three gods are now a thorn in His side, and He is excited that He has come up with a way to torment them all at the same time!
After all, they displeased the God-King, so how could the God-King let them get away with it?
Uranus even personally lifted the mountain, the massive mountain in his hands as easily as picking up a small pebble, and then threw it into the endless sea.
As for whether it hits Oceanus or Pontus... it doesn't matter! After all, suspense makes it more interesting!
As a result, the world was filled with the agonizing cries of the three gods. Seeing this, the other gods trembled in fear, not daring to utter a single word, lest they be caught in the crossfire.
Moreover, this cruel torture would come from time to time, lasting for several years. The three gods were exhausted and in unspeakable pain from the torment.
Seeing this, Tethys, wife of Oceanus and the nurturer of the waters, could no longer remain seated.
With tears in her eyes, the beautiful sea goddess arrived at the sacred mountain where Iapetus was and specifically requested to see her grandson Prometheus.
"Child, go and save your grandfather."
She grabbed Prometheus's hand, her voice trembling with despair: "Please go and tell the great King of the Gods that your grandfather Oceanus truly had no intention of rebelling!"
