Chapter 17: Goddess Queen Rhea
What a majestic god, with a tall and mighty figure, handsome and majestic, with a head of golden hair and those sacred pure gold eyes, always with a sunny and enthusiastic smile, confident and cheerful no matter when, full of vibrant vitality.
As for power, no one currently knows exactly how powerful He is; His great power is immeasurable.
It is only known that when He had just left the cradle and could freely soar in the sky, playing with the goat goddess Amalthea, He easily broke her hardest horn.
Amalthea is a true deity, and the earth mother goddess personally created by Mother Goddess Gaia; her divine body is extremely strong, and her horn is indestructible.
Yet it was still easily broken during play, and the horn broken by Zeus could no longer grow back.
After that, when there were many people around, Amalthea no longer wanted to transform into humanoid form.
Her original humanoid form was human body and human face, but with added horns on her head, and goat hooves below the knees.
She had always been most proud of her beautiful horns, but now only one remained, which made her feel extremely embarrassed and ashamed.
Zeus looked at the silly goddess who often hugged the broken horn and cried loudly, looking at those resentful big eyes, and also felt quite embarrassed.
He solemnly promised to find a method to restore it for her, so the goat goddess was determined not to transform into humanoid form until it was restored!
Zeus was no longer worried that Cronus would “see” Him; after He could freely wield His own divine authority, He was not afraid—His divine authority could perfectly hide Himself.
Zeus’s eyes looked toward the infinitely distant sky, then at His own broad palm; He knew it was time.
The great goddess Rhea once again descended from the infinitely majestic Othrys Divine Mountain to secretly visit her currently sole surviving child.
Her only hope.
Goddess Rhea’s entity manifestation is an absolutely beautiful and gentle young woman; what is different from the ordinary is that her hair is ceaselessly changing billions of colorful warm lights, representing the flow and vitality of the world, beautiful and full of vitality.

The materialized world is becoming more perfect, more colorful, and more beautiful.
In order for the gods to experience the beauty of all things in the world and fully enjoy the world, the current entity appearances manifested by all gods are the best and most perfect shapes painstakingly created over countless years by Mother Goddess Gaia in union with the gods, working together.
That is, the humanoid form.
It should actually be called divine form, and the humanoid form is inherently superior to other creations of the gods precisely because it is created in the image of the gods, possessing higher talents and potential, and even possibly gaining the favor of the gods due to the identical appearance.
Unlike mortals, the gods add a touch of their own essential characteristics to the initial divine form when manifesting, resulting in varied appearances.
It can be understood that the gods jointly created a universal template, and when the gods themselves create entities, they freely create upon this universal template.
The specific appearance of the externally manifested entity depends on each god’s preferences and creative ability, showcasing the personality and power of the god.
For law gods, who are incarnations of laws, the entity is important to Them, but not crucial.
It is just a crafted body; it is merely a tool for Them to better entertain the world, not Their essence—Their essence is the law itself.
As long as combat is not considered, it is very simple and can be shaped at will.
But it is not unimportant either; the better the entity is created, the more one can enjoy this world, so it requires careful creation.
If combat is considered, then the divine body becomes extremely important, as it directly determines the god’s power and defense.
Repairing damage is easy; the difficult part is the original creation, creation from nothing.
If completely destroyed, starting over is too heartbreaking for a god, as it means a long process of reshaping.
Repair is simple, reshaping is difficult, and original creation is even harder.
In a not very vivid metaphor, it is like building a house for oneself and decorating it; the final result depends entirely on one’s own ability, testing the god’s creativity, wisdom, and power.
Those with insufficient ability must ask other gods for help.
Although law gods are incarnations of laws, this is merely Their essence.
They are born with spirituality from the laws, innately possessing the highest authority over that law, but this does not mean They can completely influence everything.
Especially since many laws are not suited for battle and contention, and some laws require the cooperation of other laws to exert their maximum effect.
Moreover, even among laws, some are completely unrelated, and certain laws cannot influence certain other laws at all. Of course, some can completely suppress others, with laws having relations of mutual promotion and restraint.
When it comes to practice, it mainly depends on how the law gods wield their laws and whether they can exert their power to the extreme.
For many laws not adept at battle, or laws unaffected by one’s own, or even suppressed ones, it comes down to a contest of divine bodies, which highlights the importance of creating a strong divine body.
Moreover, as gods, no matter what kind, in the materialized world, they must take entity form to fully enjoy the world’s beauty and experience all things in the world.
Law gods are hard to destroy, but divine bodies can be. Once the body is destroyed, they can only monotonously merge into the law and cannot enjoy the world’s beauty; for gods accustomed to the world’s beauty, this is also an extremely painful thing.
In summary, for law gods, the divine body is not a matter of life and death, but an extremely precious asset, the carrier for Them to enjoy the world and exert power.
The new laws nurtured by law gods also have different choices: one with a built-in entity, one without.
Those with built-in entities develop more quickly under the god’s gestation, are more perfect, and most importantly, can occupy the law the fastest and fully master its power.
Cronus’s brutality lies here: He could have simply nurtured laws and devoured them before they gained spirituality—that would not be too brutal, just a cold resource integration.
But for maximum profit, He forced Goddess Rhea to create the best children together with Him.
Law incarnations that are innately equipped with entities, spirituality, and divine soul consciousness.
Devouring these hardest-to-digest yet most perfect laws is excessively cruel.
Among the gods, He is the only one who does this.
Additionally, the union of gods can also produce purely life without laws.
The strength and upper limit of such born children depend on the entity power of the progenitors, as well as later various growths.
But such lives are easy to destroy, because they lack the essence of laws as support.
Laws are hard to destroy, and even usurpation is difficult, but pure fleshly bodies are too easy to destroy—there are plenty of methods.
