Chapter 169: This Younger Sister, Why Does She Look So Much Like My Husband?
No wonder Zeus was silently attracted by this younger sister of his, even gestating the first child with her.
Such attraction was also normal.
She didn’t know what laws were on her body, but it actually made her feel an inexplicable desire to get close, a feeling of being deeply attracted.
And
Metis’s clear brows slightly furrowed. Clearly it was their first meeting, but on Dione’s body, there was always an extremely familiar feeling.
This was a feeling that was extremely familiar, extremely likable, even one of wanting to depend on her, wanting to get close, originating from the depths of her divinity.
This feeling
Metis just quietly stared at Dione and did not speak immediately.
Meanwhile, the Ocean Gods around her were all uneasy and silently keeping quiet. In this divine palace that should have been filled with laughter and cheers, not a single sound dared to be made.
The return of the Goddess of Wisdom Metis to the Ocean was certainly good news, but at this delicate moment today, it might not necessarily be good news.
She returned with such a grand procession and astonishing movement. Who knew if she had come to trouble her rival in love?
Even if the rival was her own younger sister, and everyone didn’t think Metis was some goddess with a harsh temperament, when it came to dealing with a “rival in love,” what exactly a goddess would do, who dared to be certain?
Even the Ocean God couple were now secretly preparing. If the situation turned bad, they would immediately step forward to mediate.
Metis stared for a good while and suddenly discovered something that extremely surprised her, filling even her wise heart with shock and doubt.
This new younger sister of hers.
Seemed
to still possess virginity!
How was that possible?
Hadn’t she already had a child with Zeus?!
Could it be that after gestating offspring, she recovered her virginity?
But that didn’t seem quite right either.
Her aura was simply too purely yin and soft, without the slightest impurity, and even without the mature charm of motherhood!
Even if she had truly recovered her virginity, there was no way the divine aura would lack any trace of “yang” at all.
One must know, Zeus was the extremely rigid and extreme yang Thunder God King, Master of the Sky. After union with Him, it was impossible not to be tainted by Zeus’s aura.
Since the gods had already united and given birth to a child possessing laws, it must have been a deep fusion at the level of laws and divinity.
If so, it was impossible not to have Zeus’s aura. Like Metis now, inside and out, she was fully marked with Zeus’s imprint that could never be erased.
So the Goddess of Wisdom truly felt doubt upon seeing Dione’s such purely flawless aura.
She didn’t know the inside story, but she immediately understood that the matter between Zeus and this younger sister of hers was certainly not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
There must be even deeper secrets hidden within.
No, her name. Dione.
And deep in her divinity, that inexplicable
Metis temporarily set aside the myriad doubts in her heart and, to the mysterious goddess before her, revealed a very gentle smile filled with goodwill, softly saying: “Hello, my dear younger sister, Dione.”
Hearing this, Dione also stepped forward gracefully.
Just in these short few steps of advancing, she had already displayed that endless gentleness and holiness to the fullest.
She too returned a soft light laugh, and with a voice that seemed able to soothe all chaotic thoughts, softly said: “Hello, my dear Metis.”
Even though Dione did not call her sister but addressed her directly by name, in Metis’s heart, not the slightest displeasure arose.
On the contrary, in her heart, a wondrous sense of familiarity arose, as if this name had been called by the other countless times.
This feeling of intimacy and closeness was so natural, not at all like a first meeting.
Even less like facing a “rival in love” who had just taken away her husband’s doting.
The two equally beautiful and equally wise goddesses thus smiled at each other, filling the atmosphere with tacit understanding and harmony, instantly dissolving all the tension around them.
The Ocean Gods also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Seeing this, the Ocean God couple hurriedly called the gods to hold the grandest feast already prepared, and the atmosphere in the entire divine palace became lively accordingly.
Metis took the initiative to step forward and held Dione’s perfect and flawless hand, asking in an extremely close tone: “My dear Dione, where is your lovely child? I heard that you and the Great Zeus together gestated the most beautiful and lovely child in this universe.”
Dione smiled slightly, then softly called over Aphrodite, who was being surrounded at the center like stars cupping the moon by numerous male gods and goddesses.
This Goddess of Love and Beauty, gestated jointly from the Origins of “extreme yang” and “extreme yin,” herself represented the ultimate manifestation of “union” in the universe.
Therefore, whether male gods or goddesses, all would genuinely and involuntarily love her from the bottom of their hearts.
Metis, upon first seeing Aphrodite, also felt fondness in her heart.
There was no way around it, for all living beings always shared an irresistible longing for the supreme “beauty” and “love.”
She marveled inwardly, originally thinking that Dione alone was already the most perfect and flawless goddess within these Three Realms and Three Domains.
But she never expected that her daughter was in no way inferior in beauty to her.
Moreover, the temperaments of these two goddesses were completely different.
Though Dione was beautiful, she carried more of a sacred nobility and majesty.
Even though she was so beautiful, no god could ignore the innate majesty and dignity on her body.
She was the kind of existence that was truly sacred and inviolable.
But Aphrodite was extremely delicate and soft. Her temperament was gentle and purely beautiful, filled with charm and vitality, making anyone want to get close to her and hold her in the palm of their hand.
Aphrodite showed no trace of unfamiliarity, nor any awkwardness.
She boldly displayed her smile that could make all things lose color, stepped forward to hug Metis intimately, and smiled sweetly: “Respected Goddess of Wisdom, it is my honor to meet you.”
This smile of hers made even Metis feel a moment of daze.
Holding this Aphrodite filled with the aura of love and beauty, Metis sincerely praised: “What a good child. Dear Aphrodite, I am also very happy to meet you.”
“You are as beautiful as the rumors say. This entire universe has become even more beautiful because of you and your mother’s existence.”
Hearing this, the Goddess of Beauty smiled charmingly again. Showing no reserve, she happily kissed Metis on the cheek and said: “Dear incarnation of wisdom, thank you for your praise. Your beauty and wisdom are the truly indispensable, eternal radiant charm in this universe.”
Soon, Aphrodite was again excitedly playing with the gods present.
She was always so carefree, always filled with the purest vitality and joy.
Dione gently watched her child’s figure and softly said to Metis: “Dear Metis, my love, I am not your enemy.”
“I also do not need that so-called title of ‘Zeus’s wife.’ Of course, I know you may not care about these things, but I still want to tell you in advance.”
As she spoke, Dione playfully winked at Metis, her eyes filled with unconcealed cunning.
Hearing this, Metis just nodded lightly, then returned a smile equally full of deep meaning.
She stepped forward to gently hug Dione and said no more.
The Goddess of Wisdom was, after all, the Goddess of Wisdom.
At the Ocean feast, Metis formally announced in front of all the Ocean Gods that she would take Dione and her daughter Aphrodite to settle in Olympus.
The Ocean Gods, though somewhat unexpected about this, also felt it was reasonable.
After all, if Dione stayed long in the Ocean, that would truly damage His Majesty the God King’s face.
It was just that they hadn’t expected Metis to personally come to receive her this time, and with such a grand and imposing procession.
This clearly declared to all the gods of the entire universe that she, the Goddess of Wisdom, did not mind that the Great God King had other wives.
The Ocean God couple’s emotions were extremely complex.
Though this outcome was within their expectations, they could also imagine the grievances their beloved daughter would endure and the pain she would suffer deep in her heart.
But regarding this, they had no method at all.
After all, all of this was what their daughter willingly chose.
And for that Great God King, who could control him?
Besides, it wasn’t just one daughter who was devoted to the God King. Both the palm and the back of the hand were flesh—what could they do?
They could only pretend to know nothing.
Let everything take its natural course.
After the grand banquet ended, Metis again made a grand show of it, escorting Dione and her daughter back to Mount Olympus with an extremely grand procession. The vast and imposing scene was known to all gods.
When Dione and Aphrodite, these two newborn goddesses, descended upon Mount Olympus, all the gods on the entire divine mountain were completely shocked.
Even the knowledgeable Olympus Gods, with their vast and resilient divinity, were still deeply attracted by the incomparable beauty of these two goddesses.
They were all lovesick, their hearts and minds intoxicated.
If not for Zeus having just severely punished those gods for negligence of duty, it would surely cause too many gods to rather temporarily abandon their own duties just to stay on Olympus.
