Greece: I am the master of destiny!

Oceanus, the god of the ocean, had never been so helpless in the vast ocean.

Before Him, the gentle goddess of the primordial water, Tethys, was comforting a petite and slender figure. She was a beautiful red-haired goddess whose face was streaked with tears and whose beautiful eyes were filled with terror.

Hestia looked terrified, her slender hands gripping Tethys's sleeve tightly, as if it were the last straw she could grasp.

"Your Highness Tethys, please save me! Please save me! My Father God has gone mad! He ate my newborn sister and now he wants to eat me too!"

"My mother goddess Rhea fought with all her might to let me escape, but my father god will not let me go. Please, please save me!"

The goddess's desperate cries for help echoed through the palace in the ocean. Oceanus and Tethys looked at each other, both seeing the surprise and uncertainty in each other's eyes.

"Hestia, good child, don't be afraid, speak slowly."

Tethys's gentle voice soothed Hestia's uneasy heart, but Hestia was like a frightened bird, unable to calm down at all.

"Metis, come and keep Princess Hestia company for a while." Tethys winked at Metis, who was standing to the side, and then walked away with Oceanus.

Once he was sure Hestia couldn't hear their conversation, Tethys asked, puzzled, "What's going on? Has Cronus gone mad? Why would He eat his own child?"

"I don't know. It seems like He's been acting a bit strange ever since He became the God-King."

Oceanus was also very puzzled. The ocean couple studied it for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion.

"Forget it, let's think of a way to help Hestia first. She looks so pitiful."

Tethys said with some reluctance, "We can't just stand by and watch her be eaten by Cronus, that would be too cruel."

Oceanus nodded in deep agreement upon hearing this.

Oceanus and Tethys were a powerful couple with many children, but they were also very loving towards them, which may be why Hestia chose to seek their help.

In short, since the child had come to them for help, Oceanus and Tethys felt they couldn't ignore it.

Inside the temple, Metis, the goddess of wisdom who knew what decision her parents had made with just a glance, sighed deeply.

Although she was only a child several hundred years old at the moment, the laws of wisdom made her clearly aware that this matter was far more complicated than Oceanus and his wife thought.

The king of gods eating his own child couldn't possibly be because he was insane.

With almost no effort, Metis guessed that it might be because of the curse, thanks to Oceanus and Tethys's love for her, who told her everything.

Moreover, Metis astutely realized a problem: Cronus, since becoming king of the gods, had never done anything outrageous, yet now he had eaten his own son alive. Did this mean...?

He has fully mastered the power of the God-King, so he no longer lies dormant?

What would a god-king who has fully mastered power do when faced with a world where he has no power whatsoever?

This is quite obvious.

Thinking of this, Metis glanced at Hestia, who was still crying, and his handsome brows furrowed even deeper.

Metis discovered that Hestia could very well become a pretext for the King of Gods to attack the ocean.

While the idea of ​​the God-King eating his own child is indeed cruel and even horrifying, it is ultimately a matter within the God-King's family. If the Ocean wants to protect Hestia, it is very likely that it will directly confront the God-King.

Now that the ocean is growing stronger, Cronus has probably wanted to deal with it for a long time. If he confronts it now, wouldn't that be handing it a handle to his opponent?

The more Metis thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. After calming Hestia down, Metis approached Oceanus and asked, "Revered Father, have you decided what to do?"

"Metis, my dear child, your mother goddess and I are preparing to go to His Majesty the King of Gods to find out what happened. Would you like to come with us?"

Oceanus was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation and was even asking Metis if he wanted to come along.

Metis was utterly helpless, but could only voice his opinion and offer his advice:

"Your Majesty, I feel this matter is not so simple. It would be best if we, the ocean, did not interfere in the affairs of the God-King's family."

"But Hestia has already come to us for help, how can we possibly send her back?" the kind-hearted goddess of water, Tethys, said with some dissatisfaction.

"But beautiful Mother Goddess, have you ever thought that the whole world belongs to His Majesty the God King? Whether Hestia is sent back or not, it doesn't really affect her fate."

Metis patiently explained, but her words seemed to remind Tethys of something. The goddess's eyes lit up, and she said, "Yes, we can send Hestia to the underworld."

"The underworld does not belong to the Chaos world. If Hestia hides there, Cronus certainly can't do anything about it."

Oceanus nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, saying, "Yes, we can ask Prometheus. He is the god of prophecy and will surely know what to do."

"Let's not delay, let's go find Prometheus now. Metis, you come too. You haven't met His Highness Prometheus yet, it's a good opportunity to meet your future husband."

Metis's expression was somewhat strange upon hearing the Oceanids decide to go to the Underworld to find Prometheus in just a few words.

Especially when she heard the words "future husband," a blush appeared on the young goddess's face.

But she did not refuse, because she understood the complexity of the matter better than the Ocean couple. This goddess of wisdom did not quite believe that her father and mother gods were intelligent enough to handle the matter well.

Hestia was so disoriented from crying that she didn't refuse when Oceanus offered to take her away. She followed him without really understanding what was going on.

Hestia's eyes widened suddenly when she saw the white figure slowly emerging from the entrance to the underworld.

"Prometheus, the god of prophecy? Is this the underworld? No, no, no, I can't go to the underworld. If the Father finds out, He will punish me. He will think I have betrayed Him!"

Oceanus frowned upon seeing this, and Tethys earnestly advised, "Hestia, in this situation, you should go to the Underworld to take refuge."

Hestia kept shaking her head, even trying to run away in terror. Prometheus saw this and was about to speak when a beautiful goddess kicked out without hesitation...

Hestia, who had originally intended to retreat, was caught off guard and kicked directly into the underworld.

Prometheus immediately shut up, and then the beautiful goddess withdrew her foot and said calmly, "Why are you wasting your breath talking to her?"

The gods, having already said all that, were speechless.
