Chapter 161: Fight Broke Out!
As soon as her voice fell, she changed the subject, looking at Zeus with a half-smiling gaze: “By the way, don’t tell me you can’t see Eurynome’s affection for you at all.”
“She is lovesick for you every day, so when do you plan to take in my poor younger sister as well?”
Zeus quickly shook his head: “My dear Metis, I really have nothing with Eurynome.”
‘At least not now.’ The amorous God King silently added in his heart.
Metis let out a light hum and said no more.
After Zeus’s shocking divine maneuver just now, she had truly come to see things clearly.
That scene earlier had really startled her and truly made her heart ache beyond measure.
But at the same time, it also made her feel an unprecedented sense of cherished happiness.
Her beloved was the God King after all, yet he had done so much for her—what more could she ask for?
She no longer mentioned Eurynome and instead brought up another matter: “Dione, my new younger sister, Father God and Mother Goddess have sent me a message telling me everything.”
Her gaze became extremely serious, and with the posture of a principal wife, she continued: “Since she has already had a child with you, it is no longer appropriate for her to stay alone in the deep ocean.”
“A goddess, having married a male god, should rightfully stay by her male god’s side.”
“I will invite her to Olympus. The child should also grow up healthily here at the pinnacle of the gods.”
Zeus pondered for a moment and finally nodded gently.
He held Metis in his embrace even more tightly and forcefully, saying in a voice filled with emotion: “My beloved in my heart, thank you for your tolerance and magnanimity. It is my fault for letting you suffer such grievance.”
But Metis lightly raised her jade hand, using her slender jade fingers to once again block Zeus’s lips.
She gazed intently at Zeus, her eyes belonging to the Daughter of the Ocean seeming to well up with endless waves again.
“My love, please don’t say these things anymore. I love you, so I will accept all of you. Rather than let you be troubled and unhappy, I would rather bear this slight pain myself.”
“Zeus, Zeus. You are my master, my king, my father. As long as you are happy, I will be happy. My mood will forever change with yours.”
Zeus could say no more, simply holding Metis tightly in deep emotion, unwilling to let go.
Meanwhile, Metis slowly closed her beautiful eyes, quietly feeling the firm and warm embrace of her beloved, while quietly shifting her strategy in her heart!
Since she could not change her beloved God King’s amorous nature, she would actively accept all of it!
She would create the most advantageous and unshakable situation for herself!
She absolutely could not be like certain goddesses, wallowing in self-pity and only throwing tantrums all day.
Such fussing in the end would not only bring no good outcome but would instead personally push this male god who originally loved her deeply into the arms of those other scheming little goddesses!
The Goddess of Wisdom knew very well that a goddess’s most powerful weapon was always her intellect and tenderness.
This was a weapon that even the God King could not resist.
It did not matter if she was not the sole one, but she must be the greatest! She must be the first!
In the end, the Goddess of Wisdom asked Zeus not to worry about these “small matters” anymore and to leave everything to her, and Zeus gladly agreed.
Anyway, Dione was himself, and even if there were some minor frictions with Metis, it did not matter.
Moreover, Dione was also the Daughter of the Ocean, Metis’s “younger sister”.
Given Metis’s temperament, he believed she was unlikely to do anything unbecoming.
The issue with Metis was temporarily resolved.
After his beloved Goddess of Wisdom left, Zeus began to seriously think about how to appease the furious Lady of Night.
He now knew exactly how egregious a thing Mnemosyne had done.
This really gave him a headache.
Do not be fooled by how charming and obedient Nyx was in front of him.
But she was absolutely not some pushover with a good temper!
It must be known that the ultimate end of the previous two God Kings was directly tied to her!
This Lady of Night was not some magnanimous goddess; she was also a primordial master who avenged every slight.
Mnemosyne stimulating her like this was a great humiliation to her.
Coupled with her already overflowing jealousy and the goddess’s intense envy, she was definitely going to make a huge fuss!
However, Zeus did not ponder this for long. Right after Metis left, he sensed that a fight had already broken out on Mount Olympus!
Nyx, who had been closely watching Mount Olympus, wanted to act immediately upon seeing the thick fog shrouding the mountains and wilderness dissipate.
But she sensed that Zeus was with Mnemosyne at the time, so she temporarily held back her rage.
Until she saw Zeus separate from the Omniscient Goddess and their children, the Goddess of Night immediately charged straight up Mount Olympus with a face full of icy, violent smile!
And just as Zeus had met with Metis here, Nyx had already found her target for this trip—Mnemosyne!
Boundless and endless pure Night filled with oppressive aura, like a massive black velvet curtain, quickly shrouded the entire peak where Mnemosyne’s divine palace was located.
The heart-palpitating dangerous aura seeping from the pure Night scared the newly born Muses into shrinking into their mother’s embrace.
In this absolute darkness, they could see nothing and sense nothing, as if all existence had been stripped away.
However, this little trick could frighten young children but not the Omniscient Goddess who had already seen through everything.
She gently and softly comforted her children, showing an almost disdainful indifference to the hostile night color that was continuously spreading.
And it was precisely this attitude of disregard that further enraged the furious Lady of Night.
The Lady of Night in her gorgeous black starlight gauze skirt had a flawless holy and dignified face now full of murderous coldness, and her originally deep and serene eyes burned with raging fury.
Her figure silently appeared before Mnemosyne.
The Goddess of Night used her last shred of rationality to suppress the impulse to strike directly, instead demanding in an extremely stern tone filled with hatred: “Mnemosyne! You despicable god! Utterly shameless!”
“What have you shown me? What exactly do you want to do?!”
The Lady of Night’s voice trembled with anger: “You despicable and shameless god! How dare you seduce Zeus!”
“You! You! You!”
“How could behavior as shameless as yours be worthy of receiving the God King’s love!”
Mnemosyne merely sneered and said in a condescending tone: “What? Do you still want to bully Zeus’s daughters?”
“Make way and let my children go back first.”
The Goddess of Night’s rage nearly exploded completely in that instant, but she was ultimately a great Mother Goddess and knew the importance of the matter.
She unwillingly let out a cold hum, and the impenetrable darkness parted slightly.
The fearful and anxious Muses looked at their mother with worry but obediently returned to their divine palace upon hearing their mother’s request.
Some nymphs and elemental spirits who originally served Mnemosyne also seized this rare opportunity to quickly slip away following the young mistresses.
They dared not get involved in the conflict between these two great goddesses at all; it would really kill them. Not to mention getting involved—even being a little slow to run might mean death.
Once only the two goddesses remained in the divine palace, Mnemosyne let out another cold laugh and said disdainfully: “Nyx, what right do you have to judge me here?”
“You are two generations older than Great Zeus! And you are merely the Night God!”
“How shameless, still wanting to cling to Zeus like a little girl?!”
“I give you some respect by calling you Lady of Night, but without that face, what are you?!”
The Omniscient Goddess’s piercing words came one after another without pause: “I am Zeus’s predestined wife, the lover eternally inseparable from him!”
“My children, as you saw, are all the crystals of my love with Great Zeus!”
“Hmph, don’t think that seducing Zeus with those despicable means makes you indispensable in this world!”
“Zeus is soft-hearted and gentle, but that is not something you can rely on to act recklessly!”
Mnemosyne hummed disdainfully again, continuing to sever the Lady of Night’s dignity with verbal blades: “Don’t think of having it all. You have already received unprecedented honor, yet you still want to monopolize Zeus?”
“You should stay obediently in your dark underworld! For Great Zeus to occasionally visit your domain and favor you is already your highest honor!”
“I showed you that memory as my gift to you, precisely so you would clearly understand that Zeus’s most beloved goddess is forever on Mount Olympus!”
“Don’t have any unrealistic fantasies. Do you really think you can keep Zeus in your sunless desolate and lonely place? How presumptuous! Know your place!”
“Zeus is the highest Sky, while you are merely the lowest Netherworld; Zeus is the most radiant Lord of Thunder, while you, heh, are just the dark Night!”
“It seems you did not understand this ‘lesson’ of mine.”
“You even dare to come to Olympus and barge into my divine palace to question me face-to-face? What audacity! Such a greedy ‘Night’!”
