[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

The sea is blue and waves, and above the nine heavens is the boundless sky, and the white clouds float on it like strands of silk, which is the skirt of the goddess.

Faced with Metis' questioning, Zeus had no choice but to tell her what happened at that time.

After hearing what Zeus said, Metis still couldn't believe it.In addition to Zeus, who slipped through the net, there were people who escaped from Cronus and escaped from Olympus.

But since Hera hasn't woken up yet, I can only wait for him to wake up.

Those who closed the palace in person, Metis ordered the ocean nymph to take good care of the seemingly young god inside, and then pulled Zeus to his palace to talk behind closed doors.

After placing a sound-proof barrier, she said, "Goddess Gaia can't wait."

"We need to act quickly."

This is the news she got from Gaia.Rhea has completely let go of her friendship with the god king and wants to join hands with the goddess of the earth to rescue those children who have been eaten.

This day is coming.

Gaia still sits on the throne among the two snakes, without a heavy crown or gorgeous ornaments.With loose curly long hair, her eyebrows are narrow and narrow, her eyes are bewitching, noble and extraordinary.

"Zeus' divine power is almost integrated."

"Yes." The always proud Goddess of Wisdom of the Sea can only lower her eyebrows and be pleasing to the eye in front of Gaia.

"Then what about the potion you made?" Her tone was sharp, like the ambiguous words between lovers, sweet and intoxicating.But to Metis's ears, he was a little frightened.

Maybe this is Gaia testing her, she already knew that she had prepared the medicine that could make the God King vomit.

"It's also done..."

After receiving a definite answer, Gaia seemed very satisfied.She folded her legs gracefully, stroking the snake's rough, colorful scales with her slender fingers.

"Very good." Gaia raised her red lips and said.Don't blame the goddess in front of her for being rude if she pretends to be smart and does some small tricks.

Leaving the Temple of the Earth, the stone gates behind him were heavily closed together and made a rumbling sound. The mysterious and ancient complex patterns engraved on the stone gates symbolized the long history of this temple.

Not only Zeus hated Gaia, but even Metis gradually hated her.

Metis, known as the goddess of wisdom, hates Gaia's eyes, the kind of eyes that know everything but pretend to be a bystander.

This is disgusting!Metis thought to himself.

It was only when she returned to the waters near Crete that she forgot the cold and wet discomfort in the Temple of the Earth.

"I see." Zeus said.He doesn't care when he will start the war with Cronus, he already possesses enormous divine power, and he just wants to try his abilities in the current world.

A belligerent fire burned in his heart, and in his eyes was the image of Olympus above the clouds.

He is bound to win!

However, the current god who has the same blood as himself is the troublesome thing, isn't it?

"Metis." Zeus called his wife's name.He wanted to know what to do with Hera, who was still unconscious.

Hera, who fell asleep, woke up and found herself lying in a palace under the sea.

Think back to the last person you saw.With that brilliant blond hair that almost blinded his eyes, Hera felt a pain in her eyes.

Maybe this is the sequelae of staying in Cronus' stomach for too many years?

The luminous pearl was placed on a bracket made of coral, exuding a faint radiance. Hera closed her eyes and secretly absorbed the shallow divine power in the surrounding sea water.

I was saved by a god, and that god still had the hair of a blind man.

Hera made this conclusion in her heart.

He was not in a hurry to meet his rescuer, nor was he afraid of what that person would do to him.It is useless to think about other things now, rather than thinking about these things, it is more important to recover the divine power.

Since he is the brother of Zeus's mother, Metis can't say much.She suggested to Zeus to wait for Hera to wake up and ask how to get out before making plans.

Can come out of Olympus, or come out of the belly of Knoros.Metis really couldn't think of anyone who could help him and make him escape.

At this moment, Metis does not know the birth of the god of creation and destruction of time and space.

Zeus agrees with Metis.

He didn't have much affection for his brother, whom he had never met.If it weren't for the connection from the blood that told him that this was his brother, Zeus might have regarded Hera as the youngest son of some god in the future.

Thinking of this, Zeus asked Metis in doubt: "I haven't heard of Rhea's child after me until now. Is he still older than me?" Later, it was called the Goddess of Time, Mother Goddess, but Zeus was unwilling.

"I heard Father God said that when Heavenly Father Uranus was born at the fingertips of Earth Mother, he was just a baby and after many years he grew up and married Gaia."

After finishing speaking, Metis looked at Zeus, and then said: "But the divine power is scarce in the belly of the god king, and it is possible that he cannot absorb enough divine power and stay in the infancy of the god."

After hearing Metis' explanation, Zeus thought the same as his wife.They all attribute the reason why Hera was young to the lack of divine power.

When they pushed open the closed temple door, they saw that Hera had woken up.

"Hello, I am Metis, the Goddess of Wisdom of the Sea, and this is the waters near Crete." Metis introduced himself to Hera.The Goddess's water-blue eyes shone beautifully.

"Hello." Hera greeted her without saying who she was.

Well, tell the identity, is it to let this seemingly gentle goddess in front of you tell Cronus to live up to Hades and their painstaking efforts?

Hera, who had never seen an outsider, seemed very cautious, but he couldn't show this emotion.Hera, who pretended to be calm, concealed his inner unease very well. He behaved gracefully, with the nobility and reserve of a god.

Hera's eyes moved away from Metis, and the moment he saw the blond god again, Hera was once again caught by his bright golden color.

This color is really ugly.Too bad he couldn't say it himself.Hera didn't know that she had said this idea before she fainted, and the person involved had already known it.

"Zeus." Zeus said his name to Hera.

He raised his lips and smiled, as bright as the sun, extremely dazzling.

"I am your brother," said Zeus.

Let him call the child on the bed brother, the God of Thunder can't do it.

Zeus reached out to touch Hera's hair, but Hera avoided it.Hera looked at him and did not have the joy of meeting relatives as Zeus imagined.

Zeus didn't know how much Rhea's actions hurt Hades and Poseidon's children who were still trapped in Kronos' belly.

This is the child who was exchanged by the mother god.After Hera knew the identity of Zeus, she was a little surprised.I didn't expect to meet this younger brother who was favored by Rhea so soon.

Endless darkness, from the moment of being born to see the light, and then falling into the darkness again, there is no redemption, and I don't even know how much time has passed...

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Hera didn't speak, Zeus wondered if his words had offended his brother.

This was the first real relative Zeus had ever seen.

Suppressing the turbulent thoughts in his heart, Hera looked up at his lucky younger brother with eyes devoid of color in the world.

"My name, Hera." He said flatly.

noble?Zeus chewed the name in his mind and watched Hera realize that the young god sitting on the bed did indeed deserve the name Hera.

He just sat there, with platinum-blond long hair hanging behind him, and his immature face was indeed serious.Obviously not wearing strict and luxurious attire, but still worthy of the word "noble".

"Then, how did you get out of Olympus, Your Highness Hera?" Since the target was Cronus in the sky, Metis didn't want to do unnecessary things.He simply asked her the question she wanted to know the most.

After that, I don't know what I thought of.Metis added another sentence.

"I am now the wife of Zeus."

This identity can always make the god in front of him say the reason without any scruples.

Hera glanced at Metis.Seeing that the goddess had a happy and proud look on her face after she finished saying this.He frowned slightly.Hera was a little unclear why the status of Zeus' wife could make the goddess in front of her so happy.

"My priesthood is Thunder." Zeus said to Hera.He wondered what kind of power Hera belonged to.It was a wonderful feeling that Zeus didn't mind Hera's indifference.He wanted to know everything about the young brother.

"The creation and destruction of time and space." Hera, who never liked to talk in circles with people, directly stated the godhead she possessed.

He is the master of time and space, creation and destruction are only between his thoughts.

Metis secretly thought in his heart that if he remembered correctly, that Cronus as the king of gods, his godhead is the creation and destruction of time and space.It seems that Hera is the child of Cronus and Rhea.

After fully understanding the wishes of Zeus and Metis.Hera doesn't mind who takes the seat of the God King, but the prerequisite for Hades and the others to come out is to defeat Cronus!

"I am willing to help you, but I have conditions." Hera's eyes became darker and he stared at Zeus.At this moment, Zeus seemed to see the galaxy in the night.

She couldn't believe that Zeus agreed to Hera's words so easily, even though Hera was willing to sell one of his allegiances in exchange for divine power growth.

Neither the Goddess of the Earth nor her father, the God of Oceans, will participate in this war of gods. Being able to get the help of the God of Time and Space is undoubtedly the biggest boost to defeating Cronus.

But even so.

"There is no second Eros heart in this world!" Metis said to Zeus.

"I know, so I am willing to give half of my divine power to him in exchange for his allegiance."

Zeus' words were like a bolt from the blue to Metis.

"What?!" With half of the divine power, is her husband crazy?

Zeus watched the seabed, but he didn't pay attention to the shock on Metis' face.

"Gaia keeps urging us, we're running out of time."

Here is the reason for Zeus?Metis took a deep breath.

"But even if Hera helped you defeat Cronus, that only used one chance of allegiance?"

Brushing the hair from his wife's ear, caressing her cheek.

Zeus, who did not answer Metis, really decided to give half of the divine power to Hera the next day.

He's never kidding.

"Are you sure you've thought it through?" Hera didn't believe that Zeus would do this.

Even Hera didn't think she could get such a big benefit in exchange for one help.This really can't make people wonder what kind of intentions Zeus has.

"I need your help, you need my divine power, it's very fair to barter." Zeus answered him indeed.

The night on the sea level is dyed into the sea water, and a huge silver moon is reflected in it.

Metis sat alone in the garden of the palace, restless.

Since knowing that Zeus's identity is the son of Cronus, life has not been peaceful, but waves have arisen.

Metis asked himself if he regretted being tied to a ship with Zeus.

She looked up, trying to see Mount Olympus, which radiates holy light all the year round, through layers of sea water, but after all, the night blurred her eyes.
