Greece: I am the master of destiny!

The second-generation god-king Cronus was far more intelligent than the first-generation god-king Uranus.

Therefore, He clearly knew that arrogance and pride were useless in the face of the curse.

Only by being careful and cautious can one possibly fight against this deadly curse.

So after receiving the contents of the curse from Prometheus, He acted as if He didn't care at all, and even His bedmate Rhea didn't notice anything unusual about Him.

It was as if the curse had no effect on Him.

But this appearance was only for the other gods, especially the god of prophecy.

He was carefully preventing the birth of new children, and he was extremely wary of Hestia, who had already been born. He did this very discreetly, so much so that Rhea, who was with Him day and night, did not notice.

But as Gaia said, as the king of gods, it was impossible not to have offspring, so this damned child still came.

Fortunately, Cronus had already stalled until the moment when he could control all the power.

Feeling the continuous, world-creating power emanating from within him, Cronus's anxious heart, which had been restless because of Rhea's pregnancy, calmed down a little.

Before Rhea noticed anything amiss, His smile returned, gently responding to Rhea's expectations, as if He too were looking forward to the child's birth.

Cronus secretly resolved to find a way to stop the curse before the child was born.

however……

An invitation from the ocean was suddenly delivered to the sacred mountain at that moment.

Oceanus, the ocean god, and Tethys, the goddess of the waters, after so many years of diligent work, finally gave birth to another powerful god.

That is Metis, the goddess of wisdom and strategy.

Her very existence symbolizes wisdom, and wisdom has always been one of the most important principles.

Oceanus was overjoyed at the birth of this beautiful goddess. The delighted ocean god immediately invited all the gods to a feast to celebrate the birth of Metis, just to express his excitement.

Both Cronus and Rhea received invitations.

Now that the oceans surrounding the world are growing ever stronger, Oceanus, the god of the ocean, has become the most powerful of the Titans. The other gods are quite accommodating to His invitation.

Therefore, Cronus was not at all surprised to see the prophet god at the feast.

As He looked at the white figure, He wondered when He should deal with Him.

He has now obtained all the power he could, and although his origin is incomplete, he is already more powerful than the gods.

If He could defeat Prometheus, He would not only be able to resolve His greatest concern, but He might also be able to reclaim the essence He had lost.

It shouldn't be too difficult for me to deal with Prometheus now.

Cronus's eyes flickered as he fell into deep thought.

"Cronus is watching you."

Hecate's voice rang in his ears, and Prometheus smiled and nodded, indicating that he knew.

"He has completely merged with the origin of the world and obtained the power of the God-King. How dare you still flaunt yourself in front of Him?"

Hecate spoke in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, she was so close that Prometheus could even feel the warm air brushing against his ear.

When Prometheus looked up, he met those dark, deep, and inquisitive eyes.

Hecate was Prometheus's attendant goddess and the one who knew Prometheus best.

Therefore, she could not understand Prometheus's "arrogance" even more.

Although Prometheus was invincible in the Underworld, once outside of it, he was only a powerful mid-level god, which was somewhat insufficient in front of the now completely overpowered Cronus.

So shouldn't they retreat to the underworld at this time, leaving Cronus helpless?

When asked about his divine origins, Prometheus simply smiled and uttered one sentence:

"Suspiciousness breeds dark ghosts."

Cronus was suspicious, so the more confident Prometheus appeared, the less he dared to act rashly.

If they were to truly retreat to the underworld, it would be tantamount to telling Cronus that Prometheus was afraid, which would be a true invitation for Cronus to deal with them.

Moreover, with the help of the gods, the underworld has become firmly established in Chaos. As the ruler of the underworld, Prometheus cannot be imprisoned or killed, so…

What's there to be cowardly about?

The principle is very simple, Hecate pondered the words, lost in thought.

Prometheus ignored Hecate's reaction and went directly to Cronus and Rhea.

"Your Majesty the Divine King, Your Beautiful Divine Queen, I congratulate you on the upcoming arrival of a perfect child."

Upon hearing this, Rhea instinctively covered her flat stomach with her hands, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes, because she hadn't told anyone she was pregnant.

But she soon realized that Prometheus was the god of prophecy, so it was normal for him to know in advance.

Rhea disliked Prometheus intensely, so the Queen of the Gods didn't give him a friendly look either, coldly saying, "We will naturally have a perfect child; you don't need to say anything more."

Despite being so bluntly rejected, Prometheus was not angry. He looked at Rhea and said with a smile, "Beautiful Queen of the Gods, I hope you can continue to be so resolute."

After saying that, He ignored Rhea's ugly expression and turned to leave.

Rhea was furious, but Kronos, who hadn't said a word the whole time, couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

He sensed Prometheus's unbridled audacity.

He even dared to come before me and provoke me. Was it because He didn't realize that I had already grasped the complete authority of a god-king?

No, that's impossible. Prometheus is the god of prophecy; how could he not know this?

If He still dares to provoke like this, doesn't that mean He has other trump cards up his sleeve?

What could it be? This damned underworld?

Cronus hesitated for a moment. His initial urge to take action vanished, and he even began to ponder the meaning behind Prometheus's blessing.

What does it mean to be about to welcome a perfect child?

Could this child be the damned child of the curse?

Kronos looked at Rhea's still flat stomach, his gaze growing increasingly deep.

With just a simple blessing, Cronus was thrown into hesitation. Before Prometheus could even appreciate Cronus's beautifully conflicted expression, he was mysteriously called aside by Oceanus, the host of the divine feast.

"Great Lord of the Ocean, what brings you here?" Prometheus asked politely.

Oceanus quickly waved his hand, indicating to Prometheus not to be polite, then leaned closer and asked mysteriously, "Nicholus, are you satisfied?"

"Princess Nike is very good." Although he didn't understand Oceanus's intention, Prometheus still praised her, "She is a very excellent goddess."

"You don't need to make excuses for her. That child is naturally simple-minded and not very bright. Tethys and I both know that." Oceanus smiled helplessly, then lowered his voice and asked:

"Prometheus, it seems you haven't married the goddess yet..."

Prometheus gave Oceanus a strange look, wondering if this ocean god would actually marry Nike to him. Nike was still a little girl in appearance, how could he do that?

Just as He was about to refuse, Oceanus said, "What do you think of the law of wisdom?"

Prometheus: "?"
