Chapter 82: Rebellion? This Is An Uprising!
“Beautiful, holy, and flawless Justice’s Themis, please forgive my impropriety, but at this moment, I truly cannot restrain myself. You are the incarnation of Justice, the embodiment of the universe’s vastest Order.”
“You are sacred and bright, upright and steadfast in correctness. You are so beautiful, so noble, so flawless. You have always been incorruptible and just, the most beautiful goddess in the universe, and the most kind and just goddess.”
“I can only trust you, only rely on you.”
“Only you forever accompanying by my side, supervising and urging me at every moment, assisting and advising me, can ensure that I do no wrongdoing. Only with you seated beside the God King’s throne can the God King truly govern the universe well.”
“So I have come to seek an audience with you today. It is not for you to help me gain the final victory in the war. I know that would violate your principles, and how could I force Justice to do unjust things?”
“I only hope that you can promise me that after I achieve the final victory in this war, you will come to my side, help me stabilize the universe, and bring true Order and eternal Tranquility to the universe.”
Themis was truly moved at this moment.
Everything Zeus promised completely satisfied all the expectations deep in her heart.
More importantly, there was no bargaining in this, nor did it require any compromise from her.
Even the wise God King Cronus had never respected her so thoroughly.
Everything Zeus said deeply touched her heart, and the Order blueprint he outlined made her deeply yearn for it.
She could not help but sigh inwardly: The Son of Cronus truly has fine Virtue; he speaks so pleasantly, truly different from his Father God!
Zeus, of course, had no such stingy, bargaining mindset.
To deal with Justice, to win Justice, one must be direct and upright, open and honest.
Justice does not mean stupidity; Justice merely holds firm to the expectation of goodness.
Playing mind games with Justice is truly unwise.
Now seemingly abandoning the power of dictatorship is actually because it cannot be obtained anyway.
Moreover, abandoning power does not mean abandoning Power.
When Power is sufficiently strong, power will naturally come obediently.
Justice will of course not yield to any injustice!
But Justice can be well utilized and guided toward the correct goal.
Just as every Order has loopholes.
And there is no perfect and flawless Order in the world, only Order that constantly pursues perfection.
As the guardian of Order, as long as the universe’s Order has not collapsed to the point of completely losing its just core, then the defender of Order will forever be Zeus’s most capable and most loyal Assistant!
However, Justice also fears being deceived.
Thus, the wise Themis’s pair of golden eyes gazed at Zeus, and finally she asked: “Respected Zeus, future God King His Majesty, your magnanimity is unprecedented; your Divinity’s purity also deeply impresses me.”
“However, how will you guarantee that the Promise made today can truly be fulfilled in the future?”
Hearing this, Zeus smiled: “Beautiful Themis, after I win this grand war, all the gods in the universe will gather at Olympus.”
“At that time, I will sincerely invite your Arrival. In that solemn moment, I will personally establish the universe’s Order before the gods and share the universe’s supreme Honor with the gods.”
“If at that time, my actions deviate from what I say today, then please, in the name of Justice, criticize me mercilessly.”
“And now, in the name of Mother Goddess Rhea, in my own name, I solemnly request to swear in the name of Justice: everything I say today, every word and sentence, is true, with absolutely no falsehood!”
Hearing this sincere Oath, a look of recognition finally appeared on Themis’s flawless face.
She slowly rose, slightly bowing her head to Zeus in salute to show respect: “Respected Zeus, in the future, when you truly establish that Sacred Justice’s Order, I will surely go to Olympus to assist you, accompany you at your side, and obey your Sacred Order and Will.”
Zeus also rose in response, his eyes shining with Joy and Expectation: “Beautiful Themis, this day will come soon.”
“Olympus forever welcomes your Arrival; I deeply anticipate your descent.”
“Only with you standing above Olympus can Olympus truly become the universe’s Order Center. Only with you defending the universe’s Justice can the universe truly blossom with Beauty.”
At this point, Zeus’s lips curved into a smile as he added: “Beautiful just like you yourself.”
Hearing this, Themis’s mouth corners slightly lifted, returning a faint smile: “Respected Son of the Goddess Queen, future God King, only under your rule will the universe have true Beauty.”
After Zeus left, Themis quietly pondered for a long time in the Divine Palace, weighing various possibilities for the future.
Finally, she clenched her silver teeth and made up her mind.
She immediately wielded her supreme Authority of Order, in the name of absolute Justice and fairness, solemnly judging Cronus’s existing Order as “Decay and Error”!
Although she did not openly declare support for Zeus, this actual action had already said everything.
She could not betray the principles of Order to blindly support an unknown future.
Even though the future vision Zeus painted for her was so beautiful, full of Hope.
But since she had already seen that beautiful Hope, she resolutely chose to stand completely on the Opposite Side of Decay and injustice!
At the same time, returning to Mount Othrys, Cronus, who was still sulking alone, suddenly felt intense repulsion from the entire universe toward his own Order.
Even as the supreme God King, at this moment he felt his Divinity dizzy, and his tall and majestic body nearly unsteady.
“Themis!!!”
The God King’s Roar, carrying endless Shock and Rage, echoed through the entire World.
The already cold-faced Coeus husband and wife were even more shocked.
They husband and wife exchanged a glance, Despair welling up in their eyes.
Iapetus remained silent in shock, merely clenching his fists.
The entire Universe felt the Collapse of the God King’s Order at this moment.
All things in the universe were repelling this rule judged as Wrongdoing by the Goddess of Divine Order.
Crius, as the Cosmic Framework, was overjoyed in his heart; he immediately gave a hard push to Cronus’s tottering Order.
As one of the embodiments of the universe’s most fundamental Laws, he cooperated with Themis, who governed Cosmic Order, and wielded his Authority.
Under the combined effort of these two Titans of the universe’s most core Laws, the Legitimacy of God King Cronus’s Rule had suffered an unprecedented massive blow.
This was completely different from Zeus’s rebellion in nature.
Although Order and Justice had not yet explicitly stood by Zeus’s side, Zeus’s rebellion had thereby gained unquestionable Reasonableness and Legitimacy!
