Greece: I am the master of destiny!

When Prometheus heard the purpose of Oceanus and Tethys's visit, his astonished expression at Metis's sudden attack gradually returned to normal.

He is indeed the God of Prophecy, and if He were to invoke His laws, He could know everything that has not yet happened.

But He is also the god of change. That is to say, what He sees as a certain future event may become a possible future event under the influence of His own variables, and may not necessarily happen.

All of this is predicated on the fact that He used the prophetic principles to see.

Without invoking the prophetic principles, and unless it involves His own premonition, He is not always clear about everything.

For example, Hestia's escape and subsequent search for Oceanus's help.

In the original timeline, Cronus eventually came up with a way to break the curse by eating all the children that had already been born, which even led to the terrifying legend of "Saturn eating his children".

Whether Hestia sought help from Oceanus in the original timeline is unknown, but at least now, Prometheus has figured it out almost without thinking...

Hestia could not be saved.

First of all, the God of Laws cannot die. Even if he is swallowed by his biological father, who is the God King, the God of Laws will not die. He will only be imprisoned in a disguised form.

Including the gods who were swallowed by Cronus in the original timeline, they were all rescued by Zeus in the end. Not only were they unharmed, but they even grew into adults inside the king of the gods.

This means that even if Hestia were swallowed by Cronus, she wouldn't suffer any major losses and would be rescued and still be alive and kicking.

But the ocean and the underworld are different.

If the ocean were to confront Cronus in order to save Hestia, Cronus would probably be laughing in his sleep.

Just when this second-generation God-King was wondering how to deal with the ocean, the ocean presented him with an opportunity. Wasn't this like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy?

The same applies to the underworld. Cronus was already wary of the underworld and disliked Prometheus in various ways, plus the curse was in place.

If Prometheus were to save Hestia at this moment, wouldn't that be blatantly telling Cronus that he was going to help the curse come true?

Even if Cronus didn't want to fight Him, he had no choice but to, since His position as the king of gods, which He found most intolerable, was now threatened.

Keep in mind that Cronus is currently at his peak, and going up against him now would be somewhat unwise.

Therefore, Hestia cannot be saved.

But the Ocean God couple, who possessed such simple truths—power, kindness, and intelligence—could not understand them at all.

They instinctively sympathized with Hestia, felt that Cronus had done wrong, and even wanted to question the King of the Gods on Hestia's behalf...

Prometheus could think of no other way to describe the act of questioning the King of Gods except as "sending gifts to the door."

He was simply relieved that the goddess of wisdom, Metis, had already been born and had done everything in her power to dissuade Oceanus and Tethys from their suicidal actions, and had accompanied them to her.

The moment Prometheus met the gaze of that holy and beautiful white-haired goddess, he understood everything.

The two did not exchange a single word throughout the entire process, but reached a preliminary understanding simply by looking at each other.

Prometheus made no mention of how to deal with Hestia, but repeatedly instructed Oceanus and Tethys to leave the matter alone and to pretend that they had never seen Hestia.

Oceanus and Tethys were somewhat puzzled, but before they could ask any questions, Metis stepped forward to explain, patiently and meticulously recounting the intricacies of the situation to the Oceanus couple.

Oceanus, who was initially somewhat puzzled, grew increasingly serious as he listened, eventually frowning and looking at Prometheus with a hint of guilt.

He clearly realized that his act of coming to find Prometheus might drag Prometheus down with him.

This Oceanus was not one to mince words; he directly admitted his lack of foresight and stated that he would take Hestia away so as not to be a burden to Prometheus.

Prometheus simply smiled and said, "It's alright, I'll handle this better."

"Revered Oceanid, you and the beautiful Princess Tethys should simply pretend that you have never met the goddess Hestia."

Tethys was about to say, "How can that be? It would be too much trouble for you," but before he could speak, Metis gently interrupted him.

"Mother Goddess, let me handle this matter with the God of Prophecy."

The goddess of wisdom, distrustful of the intelligence of her own father and mother, took the initiative to step forward and take on the task.

Tethys wanted to say something more, but Oceanus interrupted him with a look.

Oceanus looked at the god of prophecy and his own goddess of wisdom before him, and thought they were a perfect match. He immediately smiled and said, "Nametis, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Remember to handle this carefully and don't cause trouble for the God of Prophecy. Your mother and I will be heading back now."

Although Metis felt that what he said sounded a little strange, he still nodded.

Then she saw Oceanus give her and Prometheus a meaningful look, then pull Tethys away happily.

Metis: "..."

She pointed out something was wrong.

The goddess of wisdom resisted the urge to facepalm, forced herself to maintain a serious demeanor, and bowed gracefully to Prometheus.

"I have long admired the name of the Prophet God."

"The goddess of wisdom is indeed as beautiful and captivating as the rumors suggest," Prometheus replied with a smile.

Metis remained noncommittal to this exchange of flattery, and instead asked, "Revered Prophet God, how do you intend to deal with Princess Hestia?"

"She should be temporarily unable to be sensed by His Majesty the God-King in the Underworld, but this is not a long-term solution. Once His Majesty the God-King has searched the entire world and still cannot find her, he will definitely be able to guess that she is in the Underworld."

"This matter was caused by Dayang, and Dayang will not stand idly by. If there is anything I can do to help you, please feel free to ask."

Although she was only a few hundred years old, Metis, who had mastered the laws of wisdom, was more tactful in dealing with people than her parents.

She was well aware that Hestia was a big problem and was actively trying to solve it.

She did not show any unusual emotions towards Prometheus, the husband personally chosen by her father, and appeared quite poised and graceful.

Prometheus observed the goddess of wisdom with great interest, and keenly noticed that her ears had turned slightly red after they met his gaze.

"She's not as calm as she seems..."

With a slight chuckle to himself, Prometheus gentlemanly withdrew his gaze and said with a smile, "Then please, Goddess of Wisdom, accompany me to the Underworld."

Seeing that Prometheus was no longer looking at him, Metis secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but steal glances at him again.

Metis was still somewhat curious about her "fiancé".

After this observation, Metis felt...

At least it looks quite pleasing to the eye.
