Chapter 168: The Might Of The God King’s Wife
The objective was achieved so directly that Metis, who had prepared a whole bellyful of rhetoric, suddenly found herself with no place to use it, feeling somewhat stifled and uncomfortable.
She gently pursed her lips, and finally thanked elegantly: “Dear Civilization Guardian, thank you for this leniency and support.”
She paused, then sincerely added: “I also wish you success soon.”
Mnemosyne unhappily let the children follow Metis away; she gritted her teeth inwardly, thinking that when Zeus came again, she must make Him give her a clear declaration immediately!
If she couldn’t be the eternal first, becoming the undisputed second was also good!
On the other side, Metis looked at these nine Muses with brilliant golden crowns on their heads and temperaments each distinct, her heart filled with irrepressible envy.
These children were so lovely and beautiful; although their personalities differed, they were all so wonderful.
Though they still appeared young, they already possessed extremely vast and profound holy authority.
Looking at these excellent children, her heart was filled with both envy and resentment.
Clearly, she was the first wife, yet her own child didn’t even have the possibility of being born among the first ten!
She also secretly resolved in her heart that next time, she must make Zeus quickly give her a child!
Fortunately, all these born children were still goddesses.
Therefore, Great Zeus’s first holy son must be gestated by her, Metis!
The nine young and lively Muses behaved very obediently in front of the Goddess of Wisdom Metis.
As gods jointly gestated by the Civilization Memory Goddess and the Great God King, they had noble origins and were born knowing everything; moreover, the authority they wielded inherently depended on the irrigation and nourishment of “wisdom.”
Therefore, when facing Metis, whether out of respect for her status or awe of her authority, they all behaved very respectfully.
As for the strife between Mother Goddesses…
Hey, what did that have to do with them, these children?
They were just fragile and insignificant children.
Anyway, the Mother Goddess and the Goddess of Wisdom had no irreconcilable major conflicts, so it wasn’t their place to comment, let alone intervene.
And it was during this journey together that they saw with their own eyes for the first time the power possessed by Metis.
This one, their God King Father God’s currently sole publicly declared wife’s power.
Or rather, all gods of the universe had only now truly witnessed the transcendent status of the usually low-key Goddess of Wisdom.
Under the Goddess of Wisdom’s command, the Wind Gods who governed the various hurricanes of the four directions of the universe, the five beautiful Rain Nymphs, and the Victory Goddess representing His Majesty the God King’s glory in the four directions along with her brothers and sisters Four Gods, all gathered entirely by her side, along with over a hundred Flower Nymphs.
Then, the Goddess of Wisdom led this incredibly vast procession composed of numerous powerful gods, in an extremely high-profile manner, grandly heading toward the boundless Ocean to welcome that mysterious Dione Goddess.
Along the way, mountains bowed their heads, rivers parted their waters, and all gods along the path came from afar to pay homage, all bowing in respect without any disrespect.
When the Goddess of Wisdom’s procession reached the boundary of the Sea, even the Ruler of the Sea Poseidon, no matter how displeased he felt, had to personally emerge from the Deep Sea palace to politely nod in salute toward the Goddess of Wisdom.
Although, after meeting once, He immediately returned to the Deep Sea.
But He still had to personally show His face like this to express His respect for the God King’s wife.
When the God King’s wife formally set out, absolutely no god dared to pretend not to see.
This was certainly not because of Metis’s authority or power.
But because of Metis’s identity.
Because she was the God King’s wife.
Therefore, the gods had to show her sufficient respect.
Although the God King had not publicly declared that the Goddess of Wisdom possessed any transcendent power.
The gods, in principle, did not need to obey any commands from the Goddess of Wisdom, nor did she have the power to issue orders.
But once the Goddess of Wisdom truly issued any command, likewise, no god would fail to give her this face.
It was just that Metis was always extremely restrained, never abusing authority, and instead even more humble and gentle, so the gods had no particularly profound impression.
And today, this Goddess of Wisdom suddenly revealed her supreme majesty as the God King’s wife, truly shocking all the gods.
The Four Winds rolled up gales to clear the path for her, making the endless clouds roll aside like docile flocks of sheep.
The beautiful Rain Nymphs continuously sprinkled holy sweet dew into the sky, making the infinite blue sky above the nine heavens as clear as the purest blue gemstone.
By the God King’s side, the four close attendants symbolizing all the God King’s glory loyally and majestically surrounded the Goddess of Wisdom.
Wherever they passed, wondrous lights and colors in the sky continuously illuminated this heaven and earth.
Besides Metis and the Holy Goddess Queen Rhea, no other god had the qualification to be surrounded by the Glory Four Attendants.
Even current Hera could not, nor could Mnemosyne.
There were also the nine newborn Muses, dressed in colorful cloud garments with beautiful golden crowns on their heads, following closely behind her.
Melodious fairy music, solemn odes, and wonderful hymns continuously echoed between the heaven and earth through which the Goddess of Wisdom passed.
Moreover, over a hundred beautiful Flower Nymphs were scattering colorful delicate petals and endless fragrance across this entire world.
This spectacle really made too many goddesses envious beyond measure; their eyes turning red was no longer just a metaphor.
Only at this point did many goddesses truly realize that the God King’s wife was so majestic and inviolable, and the holy majesty she possessed was so vast and world-shaking.
Probably, as long as it wasn’t the God King personally setting out formally, no other god could compare to her.
A certain Sea King unwilling to reveal his name said that this spectacle made Him too envious!
Envious to the point of tears streaming down His face!
If the God King’s wife traveling had this kind of spectacle, then if the God King traveled, who knew what kind of earth-shattering sight it would be!
This Sea King unwilling to reveal his name had already secretly resolved that he must quickly evolve living beings of the Sea; his own Sea King’s spectacle must also be set up!
Absolutely cannot be inferior to Zeus!
The reason Metis was so high-profile was naturally also to demonstrate power.
She wanted to tell all the gods of this universe—she could allow the God King to have other wives.
But that was only because she deeply loved the God King.
And the God King likewise deeply loved her.
She was the sole “principal wife” by the Great God King’s side!
Her position as the main consort was unshakable!
When Metis’s procession finally arrived at the boundless Ocean, the Ocean God Couple had already personally led all the gods of the Ocean to welcome them.
With such a huge commotion, They couldn’t possibly not see it.
This pair of noble and ancient Primal Titans now had faces full of joyful smiles.
Their daughter’s majesty also brought Them face!
In the Cronus era, Ocean gods didn’t dare to enter the World high-profile, let alone such an earth-shattering journey where gods bowed their heads along the way.
They wouldn’t go so far as to salute Metis to show respect, but since their own daughter had become the God King’s wife, They also had to show sufficient respect.
The Ocean God Couple coming out with all Ocean gods to welcome—this was respect for the God King.
Metis smilingly embraced her dear parents, and under the extremely reverent escort of countless Ocean gods, headed to the magnificent Ocean God Temple.
And it was inside this Ocean God Temple that Metis first saw Dione.
Her younger sister.
And
Upon first meeting, Dione’s existence truly stunned even the Goddess of Wisdom.
Surveying the Three Realms and Three Domains, she had never seen such a pure and flawless, yet so yin-feminine and beautiful goddess.
Even among the many Daughters of the Ocean who were incarnations of Pure Water, absolutely no goddess could surpass this newborn “younger sister” before her eyes in being more yin-feminine or more pure.
She was like the most perfect incarnation of the “yin” aspect of the entire universe.
There were no ugly goddesses; they were all incarnations of cosmic laws, inherently containing the Origin of the Universe, each with the most unique charm, the most perfect embodiment of the world’s condensed endless essence.
Even if some gods’ divine bodies appeared somewhat special, that was absolutely beauty, just possibly not conforming to certain mortal living beings’ aesthetics.
However, even so, no god of this entire universe—whether male, female, or neutral—could surpass Dione’s beauty.
All living beings, no matter their preferences, race, or gender, would be deeply attracted by her.
This was an irresistible attraction from the most origin level of the universe.
Even the Goddess of Wisdom, who considered her own appearance unmatched by anyone, now secretly sighed in inferiority.
She marveled inwardly: Ocean goddesses were inherently incarnations of extreme yin, extreme softness, ultimate purity, and ultimate clarity.
Whether Styx, or Clymene, or Pleione, or Eurynome, or herself, all were outstanding among goddesses, yet in front of this younger sister, they still felt inferior.
Not only that, all goddesses would likely feel ashamed of their appearance before her.
She pondered inwardly: Probably only her beloved God King could possess attraction equal to this new younger sister.
Even the origin charm of the Mother Goddess of All Things and the Goddess of Night might fall slightly short.
