Greece: I am the master of destiny!

Chapter 90: The First Encounter with Zeus

In this world where time is the least valuable thing, hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye since the God-King and God-Queen broke ties.

For centuries, Cronus's reputation as the king of the gods was known throughout the world.

Moreover, because Cronus learned from Uranus's mistakes, he did not treat the people too harshly and paid special attention to the development of the world. Under his rule, the world became more and more prosperous.

Even so, He still aroused the dissatisfaction of the Titans.

Power is a good thing. If you never had it, that would be fine. But once you've tasted power, you never want to lose it again.

The Titans had enjoyed the feeling of being the masters of the world for hundreds or thousands of years, but then Cronus suddenly rose up and wiped them all out. How could these ancient gods feel at peace with that?

Not to mention that Cronus was once so weak that he had to fawn over them to survive, and now he has risen above them. This contrast is something that the gods find very difficult to accept.

Although Cronus hadn't laid a hand on them since the one time he subdued them, and had even shown them some respect, it was to no avail; it only made them resentful more.

They hated Cronus even more than Uranus.

However, Cronus is now powerful enough that, despite the resentment in the hearts of the gods, they remain respectful in the face of his overwhelming power.

Cronus was incredibly intelligent, so how could he not see the gods' attitude? But he simply ignored it.

They're nothing but a rabble; what He needs to guard against now is that damned cursed child.

Thinking of this, Cronus became even more satisfied with Philura.

This gentle fairy from the ocean was not only kind and considerate to Him, but even the child she gave birth to was not a god.

Not long after Prometheus gave his prophecy, Philyra gave birth to a centaur in the company of the Oceanus couple.

The child had an extremely strange appearance; his upper body was that of a human, but his lower body was that of a horse. His name was Chiron.

With Metis's encouragement and reminders, Ferrura had realized something and was mentally prepared, but when she saw the child's face clearly, she still felt dizzy.

But Prometheus's words still echoed in her ears. Philyra took a deep breath and, trembling, took the strange child into her arms.

She ultimately chose to accept it.

Compared to Philura's inner turmoil, Cronus's reaction was much more straightforward.

He did not find the child's strange appearance disgusting at all; in fact, He was very pleased.

The reason, of course, is that this child cannot be considered a god, not even a demigod. Such a life could not possibly pose any threat to His position as God-King, so He was naturally pleased.

He even wished all his children were like that, but that was clearly unrealistic.

In short, Cronus grew increasingly pleased and fond of Philyra, especially now that Rhea was full of disgust and resistance towards Him. He even became too lazy to return to Mount Meru and spent his time with Philyra taking care of Chiron.

That day, Cronus left the sacred mountain once again. Rhea, who was lying on the soft couch, heard the noise, frowned in disgust, and did not want to pay any more attention to it.

Just as she was protecting her bulging belly, wanting to continue sleeping, a childish voice rang in her mind.

"Mother Goddess."

Rhea was stunned, almost thinking she had misheard, until the childish voice rang out again, even clearer than before.

"Mother Goddess, it is I, your child."

Rhea looked down in disbelief and indeed sensed the subtle divine power fluctuations in her stomach.

Gods are different from humans. When laws collide and give birth to new laws, the god representing this new law has already appeared, but it only needs to develop in the womb for a period of time.

Moreover, due to the inherent power of some laws, these gods developed consciousness even while still in the womb; Prometheus and Hecate are typical examples.

However, even though they are already quite powerful, they can only influence the mother subtly and have difficulty communicating directly with her.

But this child did it.

This is not only because His own laws are powerful, and He has already shown terrifying power even before He was born, but also because Rhea is extremely weak at this moment, and this child's power is already above hers.

"My child, my child..."

Rhea reached out and touched her lower abdomen, her eyes welling up with tears.

Since Hestia, Rhea has never been able to speak a word to her children again. Those newborn babies were eaten by Cronus like snacks before they even had a chance to cry.

Rhea was in so much pain that she was almost numb, and coupled with being imprisoned by Cronus for hundreds of years, the entire goddess was in a daze.

Until that childish voice rang in her mind, it was like a thunderclap, awakening her soul from its numbness.

Tears welled up uncontrollably as Rhea curled up, as if only in this way could she protect her unborn child.

"Mother Goddess, you must save me! Please save me! I can't let Father God eat me!"

The childish voice cried out in terror, which made Rhea even more distressed. Large tears fell from her eyes, and she spoke in a trembling voice:

"Child, I want to save you too, but I can't. I can't even get out of this sacred mountain..."

"I can get you out of here, please save me!"

Rhea's eyes widened in surprise, and she blurted out, "You can help me get out of here?"

"Yes, but my strength is very limited right now. I can only help you get out once, and then I will never be able to speak to you again. Please remember my next instructions."

"Okay, go ahead, go ahead, I'll definitely remember."

Rhea quickly wiped away her tears and solemnly promised, "I will do everything in my power to help you, I will protect you."

"First, after you leave, immediately go to Her Highness Gaia, the Mother Earth. Only she can help you give birth to me faster and find a way to simulate my aura, creating a fake me for Father God to eat."

"Then, you must go with Prince Gaia to plead with Princess Nyx, the goddess of the night, and ask her to use the hidden power of darkness to conceal my existence."

"She will most likely refuse. If she does, you should ask Prince Gaia again about the matter of destiny, and she will not refuse."

"Once my tracks are concealed, you can find a secluded place to give birth to me, and then use a substitute imbued with my essence to feed the Father God."

"Finally, and most importantly, beware of prophets!"

"A prophet?" Rhea was taken aback. "You mean Prince Prometheus?"

"I don't know who He is, but I can feel that He wants to destroy me! Mother Goddess, if you encounter that prophet, don't say anything to Him, and don't believe anything He says!"

"Let's talk about everything after I'm born! Once I'm born, everything will be alright!"

"Remember, you must, absolutely must be wary of prophets!"
