Greece: I am the master of destiny!

Chapter 9, First Victim Appears

Prometheus never gave up his goal of changing the fate of the king of the gods.

Although things seem to be getting increasingly out of control, we should still give it a try.

Uranus was arrogant and conceited, and under the influence of the prophecy, he wreaked havoc on the entire world.

Prometheus dared not go up to Him now and advise Him to be kinder to the gods, that oppression would inevitably lead to rebellion or something like that; that would be tantamount to courting death...

Therefore, Prometheus, who felt he lacked the ability to persuade Uranus, decided to entrust the task to someone "capable."

Looking up at the goddess of order, who exuded a sense of justice, Prometheus whispered:

"Your Highness Themis, the world has finally gone from chaos to order, and you certainly don't want it to return to chaos."

"This is of no benefit to the world, and even less so to His Majesty the God-King, but I am powerless to stop it, and I have no other choice."

As He spoke, He sighed, looking at the devastated world around Him with a pained expression and self-reproach in His eyes: "Perhaps, I really shouldn't have come into this world."

Themis looked at the white-clad youth before her, and seeing his self-reproachful expression, the resentment in her heart subsided somewhat, and she could no longer continue to be harsh with him.

She was present at the coronation banquet of the god-king and knew very well that Prometheus had not initially intended to utter the prophecy and had made all sorts of excuses. It was only after being forced by the god-king Uranus that he had no choice but to speak it.

In truth, Prometheus was also a victim of undeserved misfortune; how could she blame it all on this innocent victim?

Thinking about this, the goddess of order, who was full of justice, even regretted what she had just said to Prometheus; it seemed that she had gone a bit too far.

The Goddess of Order wasn't one to mince words, and immediately said, "Don't blame yourself too much. This isn't your fault. I was too harsh with my words earlier. I acted impulsively. Don't take it to heart."

"These things are nothing, but looking at this world riddled with holes, it's hard not to feel a little sad."

Prometheus sighed heavily again, "It's a pity I'm so insignificant, I can't even get an audience with the great King of Gods..."

"It's alright, I'll go and talk to the Father," Themis said immediately.

Prometheus's expression immediately showed worry: "But the current God-King might not listen..."

But Themis was determined to leave. This goddess was not the weak goddess of later generations; she was upright, incorruptible, and unyielding.

Just as depicted in later sculptures, she holds scales in her left hand, symbolizing absolute fairness in judgment, and raises a sword in her right hand, representing severe punishment.

The scales represent her strong sense of justice, while the sword signifies her formidable fighting prowess; after all, upholding justice and order cannot be achieved through mere words…

Seeing this, Prometheus said helplessly, "Very well, then I will accompany you to the sacred mountain. Please do not refuse, as I also wish to do my part for this chaotic world."

This time it was Themis's turn to be surprised. She gave Prometheus a deep look, her opinion changed somewhat, but she didn't say anything. The two of them came together to the foot of the towering sacred mountain.

Prometheus was not lying when he said he couldn't climb Mount Uranus. Uranus disliked him as the god of prophecy and didn't even want to see Prometheus unless he came to offer a prophecy.

So Prometheus could only watch Themis ascend the mountain.

Soon, the furious voice of the God-King echoed from the sacred mountain. He severely reprimanded Themis, deeming her disobedient and unfilial, and banished her from the mountain.

When Prometheus saw the goddess of order again, her resentful and angry expression had turned into despair and loneliness.

Uranus was too arrogant to listen to advice or believe that his actions were wrong.

He is the King of Gods, the whole world belongs to Him, He can do whatever He wants, how can others have a say?

Themis tried everything to correct Uranus's thinking, but in the end, she was ruthlessly kicked out.

Watching this world gradually crumble under the divine power of the God-King, she was helpless, and thus this goddess who represented the natural order of the universe felt despair.

Just then, she heard a soft sigh.

Themis looked in the direction of the voice and saw the boy in white robes standing beside her, handing her a long, spotless white cloth.

"Order will eventually return to this world, but the process will be long."

Prometheus looked at her and said earnestly, "Until then, perhaps it will be easier to not see."

Themis stared at Him, momentarily unable to process what was happening.

Prometheus then gave her a gentle smile and said, "Don't be too discouraged; the chaos is only temporary."

"Will order... really return?" Themis couldn't help but ask, her voice trembling in her despair.

Of course.

The boy spoke with utmost seriousness, but then his tone shifted, and he winked at Themis:

"Didn't you say that I am the all-knowing prophet god?"

Themis was taken aback again, but the boy simply stuffed the long white cloth into her hand, pointed to his eyes, shook his head with a smile, and left.

Themis gazed at the white cloth in her hand for a long time, then finally sighed softly and personally covered her eyes with the flawless white cloth.

In such a chaotic world, perhaps only by being unable to see it can one avoid such despair.

She thought so.

Meanwhile, Prometheus, who had also left, was somewhat helpless.

Although He had guessed that Themis would not be able to persuade Uranus, He still couldn't help but feel a little emotional when this actually happened.

The fate of this god-king is indeed hard to change!

Oh well, if all else fails, we can only respect other people's fate.

At that moment, Prometheus had no idea how much of a change his test would cause in the world.

At this very moment, atop the sacred mountain.

Uranus's face was ashen, and the aura emanating from him enveloped the entire sacred mountain in an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

Themis's admonition not only failed to make Uranus realize his mistake, but also made him feel that these 12 first gods were indeed dissatisfied with him!

The prophecy of Prometheus echoed in His ears again. The more He thought about it, the angrier He became. He got up in a huff and was about to smash some more stars into the sky to vent His anger. He had even decided that this time He would smash the sun with stars, which He thought would be very interesting.

But seemingly sensing His thoughts, the great Mother Earth Gaia appeared just in time and stood in front of Uranus.

Uranus initially didn't want to pay attention to Gaia, but Gaia gritted her teeth and took the initiative to invite her.

This is the first time Gaia has taken the initiative towards Him since the last coronation ceremony of the God-King.

Uranos was overjoyed and temporarily forgot about causing trouble for the children.

In this world, the endless sky hangs down, tightly merging with the earth, and the aura of desire rises—it is the union of heaven and earth.
