Greece: I am the master of destiny!

Rhea never imagined that someone could speak of such cruel acts with such sincerity.

It was as if He truly had no other choice but to do it.

That helpless expression was so similar to how He looked when He was still weak and poured out His sorrows to Rhea.

They are exactly the same.

Rhea once felt immense heartache for Him because of His appearance, and even developed a strong protective instinct towards Him. It was through these unconscious acts of care that she fell in love with Cronus.

But now she suddenly realized that those expressions of pity she once felt were nothing more than Cronus's hypocritical gestures.

This means that from the very beginning, Cronus was scheming against her, plotting to get her to help Him, plotting to make her fall in love with Him; it was all just a scheme.

This discovery sent chills down Rhea's spine; she suddenly realized that she might never have truly understood Cronus.

Almost subconsciously, a sentence came to her mind.

Those were the words Prometheus spoke to her back in the Underworld, when she was attacking the prophetic god for Cronus's sake—

"Do you really understand Cronus?"

At the time, Rhea thought the other party was just trying to sow discord, but now she finally realized what those words meant.

The prophetic god had been warning her from the very beginning, but she only just realized it now!

Cronus had no idea what Rhea was thinking. He still had some affection for Rhea, the goddess of time who had taken great care of him when he was weak.

So He softened His voice and said softly, "You should rest well on the sacred mountain during this time. I will come back to keep you company after I have dealt with those traitors who defied the God King."

After saying this, He smiled gently, turned and left.

Rhea felt a chill run through her body and couldn't come to her senses for a long time.

She finally realized that she had to do something.

Just as Prometheus had predicted, Cronus began to gradually reclaim control of the world and clashed with the Titans, and Rhea also took action.

She quietly left the sacred mountain and came to the earth.

Rhea's first reaction was to seek help from the great Mother Earth, after all, she was the most primordial and ancient deity, and she possessed the laws of fertility.

At this moment, the goddess of time was no longer young and energetic. She looked extremely tired. She secretly came to the palace of the earth mother goddess Gaia without telling anyone.

Gaia was not surprised by her arrival, after all, the news that Cronus had devoured his own child had already spread throughout the world.

Gaia had guessed that Rhea might come looking for her, but when she saw how weak Rhea was, she couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache: "Rhea, my child, you've suffered so much."

Upon hearing Gaia's words, Rhea, who had been barely holding back her emotions, could no longer control herself. Her face was filled with pain, and large tears streamed down her face as she cried out in anguish:

"Merciful Mother Goddess, Great Mother Earth, please protect me, please help me..."

"That cruel god-king Cronus devoured our children! Demeter and Hestia have already met a terrible end. I couldn't protect them; I could only watch helplessly. There was nothing I could do, nothing I could do..."

As Rhea spoke, she choked up. The thought of her child being eaten alive made her so distressed that she almost fainted. Tears streamed down her face, and she was overwhelmed by immense grief and sorrow.

Gaia felt terrible seeing Rhea so badly tortured.

She had been through something similar, so she deeply empathized with it and knew how desperate and painful it was.

At the same time, Mother Earth, who governs the laws of fertility, felt unparalleled rage.

It was one thing for Cronus to disrespect her in the past, but years ago, she explicitly stated that violating the laws of procreation was not allowed, yet Cronus still ate his own child.

This is blatant disregard for her! This is even worse than provocation!

"Cronus has completely forgotten his duties as king of the gods; he has become exactly like his cruel father!" Gaia angrily rebuked, "How can such a god be worthy of being king of the gods?!"

Looking at the enraged Earth Mother, Rhea asked tearfully, "Great Mother Goddess, what should we do? How can I save my children who have been devoured? How can I protect my future children?"

"If Cronus wants to remain the king of the gods, he cannot remain childless, but all the children born will be eaten by him. I absolutely do not want to see such a scene again. What should I do, Mother Goddess? Please tell me what I should do..."

Gaia's expression changed upon hearing this. She remembered the fertility blessing she had given to Cronus. She had only intended to use this blessing to curse Cronus, but now it had become the root of Rhea's suffering.

Are Rhea just going to stand by and watch as Cronus eats her children one by one?

Even when Gaia tried to come up with a solution, she couldn't think of anything suitable.

Although she was an ancient earth goddess, she was not good at fighting, and Cronus did not give her any face at all, and never even took her seriously.

In this situation, she had no idea how to help Rhea.

But looking into Rhea's hopeful eyes, Gaia simply couldn't refuse.

What's more, this scene was so familiar that Gaia was almost in a daze. Looking at the suffering Rhea, she felt as if she were seeing her former self.

She once faced a similar predicament, and the one she had to rebel against was Uranus, the king of the gods and lord of the heavens.

Thinking of that tyrannical monarch, Gaia's previously bewildered heart suddenly felt a little calmer, after all...

Uranus back then was far more brutal and powerful than Cronus is now, and seemed invincible, yet Gaia still won.

The reason she was able to win was entirely due to the guidance of that prophetic god.

Gaia's eyes lit up when she thought about how Prometheus had guided her when she was lost, ultimately leading to a miracle.

If Prometheus was able to help her defeat Uranus back then, why can't he help Rhea defeat Cronus now?

Upon realizing this, Gaia's expression changed instantly. She looked at Rhea and spoke with utmost seriousness:

"Perhaps we should ask fate."

"Fate?" Rhea looked at Gaia blankly, not knowing what she was talking about.

Prometheus was not only a prophet, but also a man of destiny, known only to a select few gods, including Gaia.

Gaia offered no explanation, only saying:

"That wise and kind prophetic god surely has a way to resolve your current predicament, Rhea. Why don't you go and ask Him?"

Rhea was taken aback by what she heard.
