[Greek Mythology] Father of the Earth

"Cronus, don't you need to help Oceanus recover his memory?"

In the garden on Mount Olympus, Rhea found her younger brother hiding in a tree basking in the sun.Fragmented blond hair covered his forehead, and Cronus, who was sitting on a tree branch, looked at her. There was a black mark like a crack in the pupil of his right eye, but in the next second, as if the wrong light refracted, the blackness in his eyes The marks are hidden.

"No need." He sat there horizontally shaking his feet, and the gold ornaments on his ankles made a rustling sound.

Rhea didn't ignore this scar, which was the backlash caused by Cronus forcibly foreseeing the future last time.In order to restore Cronus' lost right eye vision, they asked Tia for help. Tia's priesthood is not as simple as the word "brilliant". within range.

Tia made the request as a matter of course-she wanted Oceanus to be the emperor of the sea, and she wanted to be the future wife of Oceanus.

Cronus agreed, anyway, he didn't directly ask to be the God King.

Rhea saw that Cronus seemed to be full of confidence and did not refuse, because they knew, better than any god, that the secret of controlling time is to control the opportunity.So they have only one goal, the god-king godhead in the hands of Eros, and they will not hesitate to eradicate their competitors for this purpose.

"Rhea, they won't know."

Kronos looked down at Rhea under the tree and smiled brightly.

Rhea knew what he was talking about, and returned a sly and bright smile. They would not know that if they became the Emperor of the Sea, they would definitely miss the position of God King.

In the deep sea, the blue spar shimmers under the cover of seaweed, and occasionally there are marine animals attracted by the light, but none of them can touch the spar.Its light is so faint in the ocean below ten thousand feet, but with the changes of the twilight, it affects the rhythm of the entire ocean.

That is--

The most noble godhead of the sea emperor in the ocean lineage.

Pentheus, who was exhausted from falling asleep, suddenly woke up, his heart was beating in his chest, intertwined with the wound piercing his heart to create the excitement under pain.Then he lay on the bed dazedly, and the figure of Uriah appeared in his mind.At this moment, his brother's whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown.

That night, not only Pentheus, Oceanos, and Tesis had dreams about the Godhead of the Sea Emperor, but Gaia, who had just returned from Mount Olympus, also had this dream in the Temple of the Earth.Unlike the attitudes of the sea gods towards the godhead, Gaia was not the slightest bit happy after waking up.

Thinking of her grandson Uriah who lost her life, Gaia sighed and continued to close her eyes and go to sleep.

He murmured softly, "It's none of my business."

As the god of the earth, it is impossible for him to hold the position of the first sea emperor.

The next day, news spread that Tartarus had returned to the Abyss, and Nix and Erebus immediately ran to find Gaia.They sat on the chairs in front of the tea table, and Nix looked curiously at Gaia, who had let the past go, and asked, "Brother, how did you spare Tartaros so easily?"

"It's nothing, Tartarus said to help me give birth to a child." Gaia replied with a cup of hot tea in her hand, not very interested.

Nix was dumbfounded: "..."

Erebus was also confused by the truth of 'understanding'. No wonder Gaia was so angry that he sealed Tartarus before. It turns out that he can be so sultry, even willing to have children!But he didn't dare to say what was in his heart, so he could only continue to keep silent, um... The decoration of the Earth Temple has returned to its beauty.

Gaia glanced at her younger siblings and said, "Don't be so surprised, I haven't agreed yet."

Then Gaia talked with them about the God of the Mountains, which was about the fall of a god. The faces of Nix and Erebus became heavy, and it was the first time they knew that the end of the River Styx was the sleeping place of the father God Chaos. land.But in this way, they thought of a question, "Even if we don't know, how do other gods know that the end of the Styx river can kill gods?"

Gaia said: "I suspected it was a prophecy, but Tartarus told me that 'the River Styx is protected by laws, and no one knows what lies at the end unless you try it yourself.'" The only one who can monitor the abyss Tartarus happened to be asleep during that time, and Pentheus and Oceanos did not have the godhead of the sea emperor and could not monitor the entire sea realm.

After finishing this conversation, Nix and Erebus no longer felt excited about gossip, and looked downcastly at the direction of the mountains.

"What a pity, that child..."

"Well, let's go back."

Erebus took his wife's hand and left slowly. Perhaps in thousands of years, few gods would remember Uriah's name, but...it was enough for them to remember.

In the Temple of the Earth, Gaia was distracted for a long time while holding the tea, until the tea became cold and her heart also cooled down.

He closed his eyes and said to himself, "I'll try again."

After saying that, he got up and went to the Nether Abyss, and went to Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, alone on Mount Olympus.The girl stood in front of him a little timidly, her gray eyes were not good-looking, and there was a gloomy air about them for no reason.Gaia didn't make it difficult for her. After summoning her, she only asked three key questions.

"Can the memory mirror be repaired?"

"Can the sealed memory of the gods be unlocked?"

"When you touch the item, can you feel what happened?"

These three questions made Mnemosyne almost cry, just because she answered "don't know" to the first one, and "can't" to the second and third.

Gaia heard her carefully explaining her priesthood. It turns out that the greatest ability of the God of Memory is not perception, but simple recording.She is similar to a humanoid library in the future, remembering everything she sees and hears in her heart, watching history, and improving her divinity through the experience of time.

"You give me the treasure fragment, and I will find a way to repair it."

"Ok."

Without saying a word, Mnemosyne took out the fragments she carried with her. She was extremely cautious during this time, because she was afraid of being tricked by some brother or sister.

After Gaia left, Mnemosyne, who was relieved of the pressure, had nothing to worry about. Facing the curiosity of the other Titans, she told what happened nonchalantly.The wind quickly reached Pentheus's ears. Since he didn't get out of bed, he leaned on the bedside and looked at Tesis who comforted him.

The younger sister with the priesthood of the sea also had that dream, but Oceanos disappeared the next day, but she came to find herself, showing that she had no ambition to seize the sea emperor's godhead.

"Thank you."

"It's nothing, I also hope to know the cause of Uria's brother's accident as soon as possible."

Tethis's voice was extremely soft, and after finishing what she had to say, she left Pentheus to think about it, and left lightly.

After walking far away, she turned her head and looked at this gorgeous place that was envied by her brothers and sisters. Probably since Uriah's accident, the Sea God's Palace had a more decadent atmosphere due to the owner's emotions.When Tesis was about to leave the area of ​​the Sea God Temple, the goddess of splendor Tia stepped out from the side, and the visitor stared at her unkindly.

There was a flash of panic on Tethis's face, and several thoughts swirled in his mind, "Sister Tia."

"Brother Oceanus went to the ocean. Instead of helping him, you came to Pentheus to inform." Tia sneered. Pentheus was deeply favored by the father, god and mother. He even has a bit of status. In the long run, how could they, the late-born Titans, not be sour, wishing for him to be unlucky a few times.

"Brother Oceanos is so strong, how can I, the goddess of the sea, be needed?"

Tesis didn't make too many excuses, and stood in front of Tia with empty hands, with bitterness and a touch of unwillingness on his face.She approached Tia and said sincerely: "I don't want to fight for the Sea Emperor's divinity. Could it be that I can't even get close to Pentheus, who is from the ocean lineage? God knows what gods will affect our future."

"Tch, don't do this next time."

Tia reluctantly agrees with this reason, after all, she is the same goddess as Tesis, and she also has the troubles of Tesis.

"Why didn't you fight for the Sea Emperor?" Tia and Tesis went back together, walking on the road, and couldn't help asking this sensitive question, "If I were you, I would definitely not let go of this opportunity."

Tesis raised his head to look at his sister, and said, "You don't understand, my priesthood is the sea."

The so-called sea is all within the surface range.Both she and Oceanus knew very well that the Sea Emperor's divinity was at the bottom, with Pentheus occupying the main advantage, followed by Oceanus, the god of oceans and rivers.

Nether Abyss.

Gaia got the mirror fragment of the treasure and went to the long-lost abyss. Well, it didn't take long, but it felt that there were many changes recently and time passed quickly.

He sat calmly opposite Tartarus, and for the sake of restraint, he could pretend that no matter how embarrassing things happened.Tartarus took over the fragments of the mirror. The light refracted by the fragments could not reflect anything, it was clean, and there was an indescribable sense of emptiness.

During this period of silence, Gaia suddenly mentioned the dream he had at night, and then asked: "Why did I dream of the Sea Emperor?"

"It should be the reason why I told you that." Tartarus looked at him with a strange smile in his eyes.Hearing this, Gaia's eyes became even more confused. They only talked in the Styx recently, so why would it affect the Sea Emperor's divinity.

As if afraid that Gaia would not be able to understand, he added: "Actually, I also dreamed about it."

"Say it straight, don't hint."

Gaia rubbed his forehead. What happened one after another made him a little tired, too lazy to guess these riddles.

"If I give birth to a child for you now, there is a [-]% chance that this child will be filled by the law to fill the vacancy of the Emperor of the Sea." Tartarus played with the shards of the mirror, and said leisurely that this would make Olympia The two sea gods on Si Mountain vomited blood: "After all, it is the blood of the two first-generation gods. Pentheus and Oceanus cannot win 'him'."

Gaia: "...I see."

Is this why Getuomeng, the God of the Sea Emperor, discovered for the first time that his child was so sought after!
