Chapter 147: Relying On Others Is No Match For Relying On Yourself
Although Leto was filled with worry, Asteria’s clear face still maintained an extraordinary firmness.
Unlike her sister who was almost drowned in sorrowful anxiety, she instead gently shook her head and said in a calm and steady tone: “My dear sister, please don’t worry too much. I believe that the Goddess of Reproduction and Fertility—she will not leave Olympus.”
“His Majesty the God King will not allow it. And Goddess Hera’s own heart will likewise not bear to part with it.”
“Hm?” Leto doubtfully looked toward her younger sister, and immediately, she too fell into deep thought.
The clear Asteria calmly analyzed for her sister: “Today, did you hear His Majesty the God King’s address to the Goddess of Reproduction and Fertility?”
Leto’s cherry-like little mouth slightly opened, her eyes full of shock: “You mean”
Asteria nodded heavily, her gaze filled with affirmation.
“But hasn’t His Majesty the God King already has Goddess of Wisdom Metis?”
“It is said that They are deeply in love, and His Majesty the God King even directly declared at the grand Ceremony of the Gods, in front of the entire universe, that the Goddess of Wisdom is His beloved.” The pure young goddess still had some confusion.
The corner of Asteria’s mouth slightly curved upward, carrying a hint of imperceptible sarcasm toward love: “His Majesty the God King is always able to do as one pleases.”
“The Great God King, what He wants, is always far too much. As long as He desires it, what is there that He cannot obtain?”
“The Goddess of Reproduction and Fertility’s low mood this time, her mind often wandering, now it seems the root is because of the Great God King.”
Leto sighed lightly again, full of sympathy: “Goddess Hera is such a good goddess, but”
Asteria’s expression remained cool, she said faintly: “Who wouldn’t like His Majesty the God King?”
“His Majesty the God King has accomplished incomparably magnificent feats, He is the supreme master of this boundless universe, single-handedly establishing the new cosmic order and changing the entire world.”
“He is the most courageous, the strongest, the wisest god, the god among gods, the King of the Gods. In every past war, it was always He who bravely took the lead, charging at the forefront.”
“In such brutal yet glorious battles, His figure captured the hearts of the goddesses—isn’t that only natural?”
Hearing this, Leto couldn’t help but nod in recognition: “You’re right. It seems His Majesty the God King also deeply loves the Goddess of Reproduction and Fertility. Our Mother Goddess, when she first participated in battle and was so severely wounded by His Majesty the God King, it must surely be for this reason.”
“No wonder the Civilization Memory Goddess said that only Goddess Hera can help us, that only with her help do we have hope of rescuing Father God and Mother Goddess.”
Asteria nodded: “Today, His Majesty the God King unhesitatingly forgave us. All of this was only for the sake of Goddess Hera. Look, Goddess Hera didn’t even need to say a word—her existence itself is the most powerful plea.”
“The spring of memory was indeed right; Goddess Hera is an extremely special and extremely important goddess in the God King’s heart.”
On Leto’s soft and charming face, unconcealed envy flowed: “Goddess Hera is truly lucky; with the God King’s love, in this universe, there should be nothing that can trouble her anymore.”
She suddenly realized, “Indeed! If His Majesty the God King also loves Goddess Hera just as deeply, then He absolutely will not allow Goddess Hera to leave Olympus! If His Majesty the God King does not want something to happen, then it cannot possibly happen.”
Asteria helplessly glanced at her naive sister, saying in an even more helpless tone: “Sister, what His Majesty the God King loves is not just Goddess Hera alone. Right now, the one openly declared to the entire world is Goddess of Wisdom Metis!”
“The Goddess of Wisdom is His Majesty the God King’s rightful wife at present.”
She paused, lowered her voice, and continued: “Even more, not just the Goddess of Wisdom and the Goddess of Reproduction and Fertility. From my secret observations, several supreme goddesses on Mount Olympus have recently been in low spirits.”
“Logically, with the new order just implemented, the gods all enjoy supreme glory and honor, and should be in pleasant and comfortable moods. Yet they are all instead dejected.”
“Now it seems all the source is because of our Great God King.”
Leto waved her slender little hand carelessly, saying: “Those things aren’t important. That’s not something we can control, nor something we can discuss.”
“Although we have been pardoned by His Majesty the God King, here on Mount Olympus, our sisters’ status remains so insignificant as to be negligible.”
“We only need to know one thing. Goddess Hera is the most special one in His Majesty the God King’s heart. And the only one we can rely on is also Goddess Hera.”
“So, we must serve Goddess Hera with all our hearts. Goddess Hera is our only hope now. As long as we have Goddess Hera’s help, in the future, rescuing Father God and Mother God may not truly be impossible.”
Asteria was stunned for a moment, then slowly nodded.
Sister was right; she had been thinking too much and too far ahead.
In this Olympus at the center of cosmic order, what were she and her sister after all?
Being able to live openly in this world now was already a tremendous improvement.
The melancholy haze on Leto’s face dissipated quite a bit; she smiled, her beautiful peach blossom eyes flowing with an indescribable charming allure.
“His Majesty the God King’s amorous nature, for us, perhaps is not a bad thing at all. On the contrary, it might even be a good deed.”
“Tomorrow, we’ll go pay respects to Goddess Hera again. By then, we should know the outcome. If Goddess Hera truly gives up the idea of leaving Olympus, then we can be sure our hopes are even greater.”
Asteria nodded heavily.
Leto turned her head to look out the window.
At the horizon, sunset had arrived.
The lord of the world’s light was about to hand over to His cool younger sister.
The bright and pure moonlight would soon take over from the warm sunlight, illuminating the entire world.
The order of the world now was indeed much better than before.
Relying on others is ultimately not as good as relying on oneself.
And His Majesty the God King is an amorous God King.
Perhaps
Gentle Leto, her charming peach blossom golden eyes, under the glow of the sunset and the approaching moonlight, became even brighter and more radiant.
And Asteria also had unspoken worries in her heart: ‘If the Goddess of Reproduction and Fertility truly clashes with the Goddess of Wisdom, then we sisters as Goddess Hera’s attendants will likely not have easy days either.’
‘The Goddess of Wisdom can’t do anything to the Goddess of Reproduction and Fertility, but can she not deal with us, the problematic attendants by Hera’s side?’
As for Zeus, after leaving Hera, He did not return to the palace. Seeing that night was falling, He headed straight to the Underworld, preparing to soothe the already extremely impatient Nyx.
The matter of the Heavenly Dao System and Divine Network also needed to be communicated to Nyx in advance.
By the way put Atlas and his two brothers into the Ocean.
This matter didn’t require Him to do it personally; it was purely convenient.
Mainly, since the end of the Ceremony of the Gods, He hadn’t seen Lady of Night again.
The Lady of Night, fallen into passionate love, was now like a lovestruck young girl, thinking of Him day and night, and had already sent Him longing several times via the night wind.
And in the most recent two times, the messages brought by the night wind already clearly carried some resentment and displeasure—She was very dissatisfied.
If He didn’t go see her soon, this Lady of Night who had just tasted the flavor of love would surely make a fuss.
During this time, Lady of Night had worked hard constructing the netherworld, and it was time to comfort her hardship.
After the netherworld was established, Hades guarded the Underworld, tirelessly combing through the newborn world day and night.
After all, it was a newly opened world, and as vast as the world itself; to fully comb it and set it on the right track would definitely take hundreds or thousands of years.
Lady of Night was also enthusiastically constructing this world that the Night God had fully integrated into. Though the netherworld was silent and desolate, Zeus had already introduced the ocean current into it—as long as it was well constructed, the potential was limitless.
Lady of Night felt everything was good during this time, the only thing not good was—unable to see Zeus!
As for Hades, He was purely a tool god, silent to an extreme degree.
Nyx, as the primordial Great Mother Goddess, naturally had her own pride; she would only think of Zeus as the main body.
She could accommodate other things, and grit her teeth to endure them, but on this matter, the Goddess of Night declared she couldn’t tolerate it at all!
Taking advantage of the night, Zeus quietly（crossed out）openly arrived at the netherworld, and seeing the current Underworld, He nodded in satisfaction.
After the hard work of Hades and the Goddess of Night, as well as Styx and some helping Ocean Gods, Their busy efforts this time had made the newborn Underworld take initial shape.
Although overall it still appeared rough and empty, at least the skeleton was in place, and it could barely operate normally.
Before Zeus could carefully inspect, accompanied by a fragrant breeze of night dew, the Lady of Night who sensed Zeus entering the netherworld had already come to His side.
This coldly glamorous and proud Goddess of Night, beautiful to the point of suffocation, her flawless delicate face now carried full resentment and displeasure.
Then she unhesitatingly threw herself into Zeus’s embrace.
Nyx, bumping into Him with her pregnant belly, made Zeus’s mind sway; Zeus hugged the exquisite Lady of Night tightly in return, showering sweet talk freely: “My dear Nyx, what unhappy matter dared to provoke my beautiful Ruler of Night, making your mood so displeased?”
