[Greek Mythology] To bind a lover or not to break up

This first born child is definitely the center of attention, and the gods want to know how Kronos will treat him.

However, even they didn't expect that the newly born child was swallowed by Cronus before he could open his eyes.

For a time, the gods kept secret.

It is said that it is a goddess. Judging from the revealed information, her name is Hestia.

But this child was swallowed by her cruel father in one gulp.

In the Palace of God Kings, Rhea stroked her stomach, looking dazed. In front of her, Kronos put on a fake face and was comforting her.

"Why would you do that?" she murmured.

Before that, Cronus was her everything, and the child she was about to give birth to was what she was most looking forward to, and the child she was going to be bound to.

But now, Cronus has ruined all of this.

"Rhea, we don't need these children, do we?" Kronos said, "Or do you need them more than me?"

Rhea's face was pale, and she didn't know how to face her problem.

No doubt, Kronos was good to her and she loved Kronos.But the image of him swallowing the child has been lingering in Rhea's mind, making Cronus in her eyes completely different.

Her consciousness seemed unaffected, and she asked tearfully, "But when the curse was revealed, it would be a boy, and Hestia is a goddess, why should she be punished?"

"Because I was so worried that I didn't see her identity clearly for a while." Kronos was distressed, "Riya, do you take the child who wants to break us up and overthrow me so seriously?"

He looked at Rhea with disappointment, as if she had done something heinous.

She struggled to explain: "Of course not, but Cronus, if we treat that child well, he will definitely not do such a rebellious thing, right?"

"You are underestimating the power of the curse." Kronos lamented her innocence, put his palms on her cheeks, and said, "This is putting my life on the tip of the knife, waiting for the blade to come and kill me. Take it away?"

Rhea was forced by him, her fingers were clutching his clothes, her fingertips turned white.

Cronus said one sentence at a time, not caring whether she would feel embarrassed about it at all, every sentence forced her to the edge of a cliff and made her make a choice.

The balance between the newborn child and the long-accompanied husband was constantly shifting, and finally fell towards Cronus.

"Okay." She said with downcast eyes.

Getting a satisfactory answer, Kronos smiled.He won't keep persecuting Rhea like this, but he still wants to give her some hope.

"I'm sorry, so next time, I will definitely think about how to treat the next child."

Gaia raised her eyes in surprise, grabbed his clothes and asked, "Really?" Kronos was willing to change his way, and Rhea wept with joy.

"Of course." Kronos looked at him with affectionate eyes and said, "Of course I am willing to change for you, Rhea."

This conversation seemed to grow wings, and flew to Gaia's temple and the land of the far west at the same time.

"He's really my good son. He still likes to talk sweetly as always." Wasn't she deceived by Kronos' disguise back then, thinking that he was really thinking of herself?

Facts have proved that this is just an illusion shown by Kronos. Deep down, he is still the ugly guy who is extremely hypocritical and only thinks about himself.

"Should I expose my dear daughter's fantasies?" Gaia asked.

"Wait a little longer." Uranus stopped her with dark eyes, "The current Rhea has not been disappointed with Cronus." If he acts in advance, he may have to scare the snake away.

Gaia thought for a moment and admitted that what she said was indeed reasonable, so she suppressed the urgency in her heart, nodded and agreed.

"Since Uranus came, Gaia has really calmed down a lot." Nyx waited for a long time without seeing Gaia move, so he knew that she had calmed down temporarily, "Maybe this is the power of love. "

Erebus frowned, somewhat disapproving.

"Of course I'm not talking about Gaia's love for Uranus." Nyx pointed at the hand-painted pattern of heaven and earth, and explained, "Love taught Uranus to learn to understand Gaia, and understanding her is the only way to control her." The key to her behavior, isn't it?"

That made sense, so Erebus nodded.

Nyx felt the touch of Rhea in the temple, and asked: "Do you think Rhea will not be able to bear it after the first child?" As for Cronus's consideration, he farted at the time. As far as the guy is concerned, there is only Rhea who is extremely dependent on him.

Erebus Fu came to his heart, and suddenly asked: "Is this also a bet?"

Nyx was taken aback by asking this question, and after reacting for a while, he seemed to complain and said: "This is an inch."

Erebus didn't say a word, just looked at him like that, and smiled at the right time.

Confused by the beauty, Nyx was speechless for a while, and said, "All right, I agree."

With his downcast eyes suppressing his smile, Erebus guessed and said, "Then, six."

Now Nyx was really confused. After thinking for a while, he still asked: "Why is this number?" He used to know Greek mythology, so he knew the specific number, but how did Erebus know it? of.

"Of course it's because I did my homework." Erebus gave a specious sentence.

But this is not something that can be understood by doing homework, and Nyx did not deduce how he did it in the end.

Erebus had just made a breakthrough in his divine power recently, so he just stared at him in a mood to make guesses.

Judging from Nyx's attitude, he seemed to be right.It looks like not only his powers are improving, but so is Nyx.

It can be seen that he has to work harder.

Unaware of Erebus' mentality of being a bully, Nyx, like all the gods, looked at the top of Mount Otris.

At the same time, news of Prometheus also reached him.

"Great God, since the child has been swallowed by Cronus, how can we fulfill our agreement?" There is a little joy mixed with the cautious words, after all, if the child does not show up for a day, Pu Luo Mitheus can enjoy the benefits brought by the agreement, and he does not have to fulfill the agreement, and is mixed in the war of the primitive gods.

"What's the rush?" Nix noticed his thoughts, but didn't care.

Anyway, in the end, he, Prometheus, must honestly fulfill the agreement.

"It's still early, what should come will always come, don't expect it so much." The voice passed with a smile, but Prometheus, who received the news, just wanted to strike.

I really don't want to play with these primitive gods, but I can't.

Sighing, he put away the slate and honestly went to Gaia to report on the growth of human beings.

I don't know what Gaia thinks, but she cares so much about the situation of human beings.

This kind of concern is not the kind of extremely perfunctory concern shown on the surface, but bit by bit, carefully and carefully asked about their growth.

To be honest, if Gaia's attitude was not felt to be wrong, Prometheus' attitude towards her could only be described as flattered.

He still has a very clear understanding of human beings. Even if human beings are all good in his heart, they are just weak creatures in the eyes of most gods. The attention of high-ranking gods, especially Gaia, can be said to be It's a good thing, but it always makes him uneasy.

There may be something in human beings that Gaia needs, but he doesn't know it now.

With the help of Gaia, Prometheus had a lot of time to create humans. The more humans there are, the happier Gaia will be, and the greater the gift he will give them.

Feeling the increase in the number of humans and the growth in strength, Gaia waited contentedly for Rhea to come out of her forbearance.

She believes that this time will not be too long.

So, after the second, third, and fifth children were also swallowed by Cronus, Rhea finally felt hopeless.

Every time a child is eaten, Cronus will say that this is the last one, but at the end, there is no last one, as long as a child is born, it will not escape the ending of being swallowed by Cronus.

Consolation again and again will only make Rhea feel bored, and the original impression of Kronos is finally shattered in Rhea's mind, replaced by this cruel and heartless God King.

At the moment when she had a premonition that the sixth child was about to be born, Rhea finally found Gaia without telling Cronus.

Nyx still kept her pawn, and immediately observed the surrounding situation through Rhea's eyes after discovering that she had made a move.

After all, Rhea couldn't bear it anymore, and no amount of love began to disappear under the consumption of Cronus.Maybe this kind of love is still there, but it is not enough to make Rhea willingly sacrifice her own children to make his god position safe and secure.

After hesitating for a long time before Gaia's temple, she still stepped in.

In any case, she couldn't let Cronus kill her next child again.

When entering the temple, it was obvious that Gaia had been waiting for a long time, and then facing Rhea, she put on a puzzled expression and asked, "Riya, why are you here?"

From Rhea's perspective, Nyx sees the complacency in her eyes that has everything under control.

Rhea didn't speak, just cried quietly, and when she finally calmed down, she gritted her teeth and said what she had thought before.

"I hope you can save my next child," she said, stroking her stomach.As soon as she sensed that a child was about to be born, she came to look for Gaia.It's just that her love for Cronus still made her hesitate for a long time before the temple.In the end, the mother's love, which was late and finally arrived, finally made her walk in with steps.

Nyx could feel the strong self-blame in Gaia's heart. This kind of self-blame is not given to an existence alone, including Cronus and her children who were swallowed by their father.

Seeing her struggling there, Nyx yawned and pushed her secretly.

Rhea finally came out of the entanglement, and said to Gaia: "I hope you can hide this child's information and let him grow up safely."
