Greece: I am the master of destiny!

Chapter 99 Zeus's Laws are actually...

"I think you're playing with fire and getting burned. Aren't you afraid that your puppet will be destroyed by Cronus in a fit of rage?"

In the underworld, Hecate sat in her temple of fate, weaving the destinies of humankind while offering her comments to Prometheus before her.

Because Hecate usurped the laws of the Fates, the original Fates were never born, and Hecate could only take over their work, weaving fate every day.

Especially after the birth of the Golden Humans, there were at least hundreds of thousands of lives, so she hasn't left the Underworld for a long time. After all, it's normal for her to be less efficient as she's doing the work of three people.

Hecate was no stranger to Hades, the puppet created by Prometheus using the Bottle of Life, soil from the Underworld, and a portion of her own consciousness.

Hecate was even present when Hades was born.

Just like the three Fates who would never appear again after their laws were replaced, the original Hades was also like that.

The underworld was created ahead of time by Prometheus, who then claimed it for himself. Hades, the god of the underworld in the original timeline, lost the most important law and therefore had no reason to be born.

Seeing this, Prometheus simply created Hades himself, and then gave birth to him through Rhea's womb.

Because of the magic of the Bottle of Life, Hades, who was created, looked no different from ordinary gods, except that he was weaker and had no laws of his own.

However, it does not have its own soul; all its consciousness comes from a portion of the consciousness that Prometheus initially merged into it, which is why Hecate calls it a "puppet."

The biggest drawback of this puppet is that it will instantly revert to its puppet form when Prometheus is not controlling it. Although it won't stand still like a statue, it's not much better.

However, after Prometheus created this puppet, he kept a close eye on the situation. Although he didn't control it all the time, he was always paying attention to it.

When Hades was swallowed by Cronus and placed inside the belly of the god-king, Prometheus was unable to control him for a long time.

He remained silent, and his other brothers and sisters living under the same belly ignored him when they spoke to him.

This made the gods feel that he was particularly aloof, even Cronus felt this way.

But these people couldn't see through Hades' true nature because the Vase of Life made him seem like an ordinary god, while Hecate understood it very well.

Hecate initially thought that Prometheus sent a puppet to the King of the Gods so that he could monitor the King's movements at all times.

Anyway, Cronus wouldn't pay special attention to one of his many children who doesn't like to talk; being inconspicuous is the best camouflage.

To Hecate's surprise, Prometheus not only didn't hide anything, but actually made Hades attract Cronus's attention, and even revealed the laws of fate.

Is this because they're afraid their puppets won't die fast enough?

With such a cautious and suspicious nature, for Cronus to display his abilities in front of him is tantamount to telling him to kill him quickly.

The laws of fate emanating from Hades originate from the consciousness of Prometheus, not from Hades himself. This means that he is not an immortal god of laws, and he is capable of being erased.

If He were to be erased, Prometheus would also be harmed, since a portion of His consciousness had been separated from Him.

Faced with Hecate's questioning, Prometheus simply smiled. Although he was still manipulating Hades to face the scrutiny of the King of Gods, he was not flustered at all, and even had the mood to chat with Hecate.

"Only forces beyond one's control bring fear. Cronus is suspicious, but the more suspicious a person is, the more confident they will be in their own judgment."

"He just doesn't trust others, not himself."

Hecate raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Then how do you intend to gain His trust? Gaining Cronus's trust is much more difficult than gaining Uranus's."

"And according to you, Philura is weak enough, but even though Philura has been with Him for so many years, He still guards against Philura."

"Because Philylla cannot bring Him any value," Prometheus laughed. "But I am different."

"Cronus, what He most wanted to achieve was the eternity of divine authority."

"Then I will grant Him eternal divine authority; I don't believe He wouldn't be tempted."

Kronos was indeed very tempted.

When he heard Hades say that he was the "Changer of Fate", his heart, which had been dormant for many years, suddenly began to beat fiercely.

Even though He is already the King of Gods, He still lives under the control of fate, whether it is a curse or so-called destiny.

The more powerful Cronus became, the more he felt trapped in a cage.

He was beginning to understand Uranus better. When Uranus was the king of the gods, he never thought about how to make the world a better place; all he ever thought about was how to please himself.

He even had the thought of destroying the world together with it many times. The fundamental reason was that he also realized that no matter how powerful the God-King was, he was essentially just the chosen representative of this world, and was always trapped in fate.

So why make the world a better place? This world is a prison for the gods, or rather, a prison for all living beings.

However, the God-King was too powerful, so he came into contact with the essence of the cage, while the common people, being weak, were unaware of it.

But now Cronus suddenly discovers that those damned, so-called predetermined fates can actually be changed.

Moreover, the opportunity for change has always been sealed inside her belly by her sleeve.

"Hades, do you know what you're saying?" Cronus forced down his excitement and spoke coldly:

'

You say you can change your destiny?

"Yes." Hades nodded. "You've sensed it too, haven't you? Zeus is the destined king of the gods; he was destined from birth to destroy your rule."

"He was supposed to grow up safely on Crete until he became powerful enough to challenge you, fight against you, and finally bring you down from your pedestal."

"But my reminder changed everything. You discovered Him before He had fully matured, and your future has already changed."

"You've already seen my abilities, haven't you?"

Cronus had indeed seen it, and he finally believed Hades's words, a look of ecstatic joy spreading across his face.

It wasn't because of Hades' help that He became the eternal king of the gods, but because—

He had just obtained the laws of Zeus when Hades jumped out on his own, it was practically free!

"Good child, since you want to help me, then give me your laws."

As Cronus spoke, the sharpness in his eyes was no longer concealed, and he grinned as he reached out to grab Hades.
