[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

Everyone walked out of surprise and became depressed.Hera knew it was because of her own reasons.He could have chosen not to speak out so no one would be disappointed by his incompetence, but...

"Choose one of you to go out." Hera handed over the right to choose to his relatives.

Trapped in this deep and dark place for nearly a thousand years, there is no sunlight or sky, and I have never even experienced the fragrance of flowers or the sound of wind.They know everything about this world from inherited memory, but they have never experienced it themselves.

They are the sons of the god king, but because of this identity, they suffer pain that other gods have never experienced.

No matter who wants to go out, but only one person can get out of this place.

Knowing that she would never have the chance to leave, Demeter even hated Hera in her heart.

Hades, the eldest son of Cronus, who has been trapped here for the longest time, is the oldest and most powerful god among them. He seems to be the one who the other brothers and sisters expected to leave this place.

But Hades left the opportunity to Hera.

"Why, Hades?!" Hera exclaimed.

Even Hestia and Poseidon didn't understand why Hades did this.

"Why?" the calm Hestia said.She frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and her usually gentle brown-red eyes were full of puzzlement and doubt.

She was aware of Hades' unconditional love for Hera, but she gave up the chance to leave just to spoil her younger brother.Hestia would look down on him, even though her elder brother Hades had been taking care of her since birth.

Several of them were raised by Hades, and in the belly of Cronus, who had little divine power, Hades would even transmit his divine power to them.Hestia and the others will never forget his kindness.

This is one of the reasons why no one would object to Hades going out.

Hades with green eyes raised his hand to stop Hestia from asking any further questions.He slowly lowered his body and gently stroked Hera's face.

He knew how hard Hera worked for this moment.

Hera was never disappointed when Hera said that she could take the gods away, or even only one person.

The divine power in this space has been almost absorbed by the previous brothers and sisters, including himself. It is extremely difficult for Hera's godhead to be so powerful that he can do this.His prolonged lethargy was only for the accumulation of divine power, in order to let them go out.

What's more...

"Hera, you are the god who manipulates time and space. You have a better chance of saving us than me going out." Hades said.

Hades' eyes are like a green lake that embraces everything.

"Hades..."

In order to get along with Zeus for a longer time, Metis always shirked and tried to find reasons to convince him when Zeus asked if the emetic potion was finished.

Zeus knew it in his heart but never showed any dissatisfaction on his face.Like the tiger and leopard hunting in the jungle, he always has endless patience with his prey, because he knows that he will not miss.

When Zeus stopped asking this question, Metis always felt guilty facing him.Therefore, he treated Zeus doubly well and was cautious.This made the nymphs who served them sigh.

Metis was once such a proud and self-reliant daughter of the Ocean Goddess, the Goddess of Wisdom of the Sea!

On this day, Metis went to the Temple of the Earth alone after receiving news from Gaia.

Even though Gaia helped Zeus gain divine power, Zeus, who still doesn't like Gaia or even hates Gaia from the bottom of his heart, never talks to this grandmother, the goddess of the earth, alone.Therefore, Metis became the best communication bridge between the two.

Without Metis by his side, Zeus left his palace under the sea.

He manipulated the cloud with lightning to fly to the earth.

Zeus didn't want to go to the Temple of the Earth to meet that annoying grandmother, but he loved playing on the earth.

The breeze was sent to Zeus with the fragrance of flowers, and he stretched his waist refreshed.Sitting under a tree, looking up at the sky.

In the place covered by white clouds that ordinary people can't see, a majestic and magnificent holy mountain floats on it.

Mount Olympus, which means the place of holy light.This is the place where the gods and their servants live, and it is also the direction where the human race bows down when offering sacrifices to the gods.

On the island of Crete, he never felt that he could set foot on Mount Olympus, because that was the place where famous and powerful gods could live. How could he, the son of a little Nymph goddess, set foot here.

But now everything is different.

Zeus smiled, this smile was brighter than the sunshine in the sky, and anyone who saw it would be fascinated.But besides the trees and grass all over the mountains and plains, there are only deer and hares lying on the ground for a rest, and there are no other creatures.

The moment Zeus woke up, he knew what changes the heart of the god of love and desire would bring to him.In addition to the majestic divine power, his thoughts will gradually merge with the divinity of Eros.The bloodline of the Greek Protoss has longed for power and high status from the moment of birth, and the heart of Eros aroused the desire/thought deep in his heart, and magnified it into a real desire.

This is the desire for power, and even more the desire for the position of the king of gods.

From the moment he absorbed the crystallization of divine power of love and desire, Zeus was no longer an ignorant and ignorant young god on the island of Crete. He would become the most powerful contender for the next king of gods.

Hera, who had consumed nearly all of her divine power, knelt down on the soft grass unbearably.

Cold sweat covered his forehead, and his pale lips were like flowers falling in the wind.

What he saw made him almost cover up and dare not look directly at the sun, and he felt the sound of the wind passing by his ears.

He came out.

Hera, who had consumed too much divine power, finally closed her eyes and fainted to the ground.

Moments before fainting, Hera saw a blond god walking towards him.

"It's ugly..."

"It's ugly?" Zeus murmured these words silently.He thought back to make sure he heard correctly, but the content of the words made him doubtful.

It's ugly.Who is so ugly?

"Zeus, I heard that you brought a child here." Metis, who came back later than Zeus, learned from Nymph that Zeus had brought a child after going out for a trip, so he couldn't wait to come to where Zeus is now. The palace came in to find out.

When Metis entered the hall, he saw a young god who looked like a mortal ten-year-old child lying under the light blue crocodile pearl curtain.Judging from the divine power emanating from his body, it is clearly the same as the blood of Zeus!

Could it be the children of Zeus and those nymphs in Crete? !Metis abandoned wisdom and thought about all this with the head of a goddess.

"you……"

She was astonished and was about to ask, but was interrupted by Zeus who had already seen through her thoughts.

"Metis, take a closer look, how could he be my child?"

Zeus held his forehead, he was a little speechless at the moment.

Metis took a few steps closer and put his hand on the young god's forehead to feel the divine power flowing in his body.

However, the results made her even more surprised and almost overturned this conclusion.

How could a child swallowed by Cronus come into this world?

Metis looked at Zeus with the words "Where did you pick it up?" written in his eyes.
