Greece: I am the master of destiny!
Chapter 77 You wouldn't even call me Your Majesty once
Although he had long guessed that Cronus would use Hestia's matter to establish his authority, the question was who he would target.
But Prometheus never imagined that there would actually be a god so foolish as to choose to fight the King of Gods for an unrelated goddess.
And this being who stood up to the god-king was none other than the glorious sun god Hyperion.
Hestia thought it over and over and concluded that, apart from Oceanus, the sun god Hyperion was the most glorious and powerful.
Perhaps due to the laws of nature, this sun god was intolerant of any imperfections and had a rather impatient personality. Most importantly, he was extremely concerned with his reputation.
When Hyperion learned that the King of Gods had eaten his son and Hestia had come to Him in a sorry state for help, Hyperion was furious. The glorious god could not allow such a sordid thing to happen before his eyes, nor could he allow someone to come to Him for help and he to turn a blind eye.
This is incredibly embarrassing.
Therefore, Hyperion resolutely decided to support poor Hestia.
He even felt that if he stood up for Hestia this time, his reputation as the sun god would resound throughout the world.
As for the possibility of offending Cronus... that possibility never even crossed His mind.
The main reason is that Cronus has been so low-key in recent years that Hyperion doesn't even realize he is the king of the gods, and his impression of him is still stuck in the past.
In Hyperion's mind, Cronus was still the agricultural god whose origins had been severed by Uranus, so weak that he had to live at the mercy of the other gods.
Such a weak being, having been troubled by Him, Hyperion, should be trembling with fear and begging Him not to get angry.
Hyperion completely regarded himself as someone of high status, and took it all for granted.
It wasn't just Him; most of the Titan stock market gurus still held this view, including the benevolent Oceanus.
This could be attributed to the naivety and lack of cunning of these early gods, but it also demonstrates the terrifying nature of Cronus, who was incredibly patient and adept at feigning ignorance.
It was for this reason that when Hyperion led Hestia to storm the sacred mountain and questioned the King of Gods under the watchful eyes of the Titans and all the gods of the world, no one noticed anything amiss.
Apart from Prometheus and Metis.
The two stood outside the underworld, gazing in the direction of the sacred mountain, sensing the movements there with their divine power.
Seeing Hyperion's recklessness, Prometheus couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, while Metis looked on with surprise.
This goddess of wisdom, who had never left the ocean since birth, thought her father and mother were the least intelligent people, but now she discovers...
There are also experts among them.
"What do you think will be Hyperion's final fate?" Metis asked with interest, then, as if remembering something, quickly added, "He's not allowed to use the laws of prophecy; that's cheating."
Prometheus glanced at her with amusement, thinking to himself, "Is this the kind of god this girl thinks of me?"
However, He didn't dwell on it. After thinking for a moment, He said, "As a chicken used to scare others, its fate will surely be miserable."
"To kill the chicken as a warning to the monkey?" Metis asked疑惑地问道, "What's that?"
"Simply put, we need to use Him as an example to intimidate the other Titans."
Prometheus patiently explained, "Only when His end is tragic will the other ancient gods dare not offend the King of Gods, and only then can His majesty as the King of Gods be revealed."
"It's about establishing authority, isn't it?" Metis chuckled. "So, how do you think we can achieve that? By defeating Him in front of the gods?"
"That's for sure, but it's not enough," Prometheus said, shaking his head. "He's probably about to lose something very important."
"Oh?" Metis's eyes lit up. "You think so too?"
"Obviously."
"In that case, why don't we write down what we think He will lose, and then see who guesses correctly when the mystery is finally revealed?"
Metis clearly found this very interesting, and Prometheus looked up to see a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.
He didn't want to spoil the goddess of wisdom's mood, so he smiled and nodded, "Alright, let's go back to the underworld and get paper and pen."
Upon hearing this, Metis's smile widened, and even the slight distance he had shown at the beginning gradually disappeared.
Prometheus naturally noticed this change and couldn't help but sigh again...
What use is wisdom if she's still just a young girl experiencing first love?
Zeus, who deceived the little girl, truly deserves to die.
Just as Prometheus and Metis were wagering on this farce, on the sacred mountain, amidst the shouts of Hyperion, the god-king Cronus finally appeared slowly.
"Radiant Sun God, what brings you to me?"
Cronus's words were neither warm nor cold, lacking his usual respect and politeness. Hyperion couldn't help but frown, feeling that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Knowing that all the gods were watching him, Hyperion didn't care anymore. He immediately stepped forward, pointed at Hestia trembling behind him, and said righteously:
"Cronus, do you know what you're doing? Why did you eat your own newborn child, and even Hestia along with it?!"
Hyperion did not lower his voice; his powerful voice echoed throughout the entire sacred mountain, causing the Titans who were secretly watching the area to change their expressions.
Eat his own child?! Cronus actually did something so horrific?!
Over the years, the Titans had all tasted the benefits of procreation, and with Gaia's existence, they felt that the law of procreation was sacred and inviolable.
To eat the child you gave birth to is just as cruel as when Uranus stuffed the Titans back into Gaia's belly!
Faced with the sun god's questioning, Cronus showed no anger and calmly replied, "This is a matter for my family, and I need not trouble you, the sun god, with your concern."
"Now that Hestia has come to me for help, I can't just ignore it!" Hyperion shouted. "Cronus, you must give us an explanation today!"
"An explanation?" Cronus laughed as if he had heard something extremely funny. "You want me to give you an explanation?"
"Hyperion, on what grounds do you expect me to answer to you? What, managing the starry sky isn't enough, now you're interfering with my sacred mountain?"
Hyperion was about to fly into a rage at being addressed by his first name, but the next moment, a terrifying power suddenly erupted from Cronus that shook the entire world.
Feeling the surge and tumultuous power, Hyperion's pupils suddenly contracted, and in that instant, even his soul trembled.
Seeing Hyperion's suddenly changed expression, Cronus sighed:
"Hyperion, I respect you as my elder brother, and I have never said a word about your interference in the affairs of the stars all these years. But you, even now, you are unwilling to call me a name—"
"Your Majesty the God-King."
