Chapter 189: Reborn Amalthea
Zeus’s arrangements moved the Lady of Night deeply.
Her eyes, which should have held endless depth and coldness, were now filled with an overwhelming, almost overflowing, sticky affection.
She gazed at Zeus on the throne, lost in adoration, without moving for a moment.
If this were not a sacred occasion with all the gods of the universe present, she would have rushed into His embrace without hesitation.
As a Primal Great Mother Goddess, her love for her children was absolutely beyond doubt.
In Zeus’s sacred and benevolent new cosmic order, her greatest worry was for her six children, born from the shadows.
She herself knew that given Zeus’s temperament and the positive, order-oriented direction He had established, this universe truly had little place for her children, and she was aware of how unwelcome they were.
As their mother, Nyx had always felt deep guilt and worry for these children, conceived from her own past negative emotions, whose divinity was inherently destined to be negative.
However, she was truly helpless in this regard.
One might say that the children of Night are Zeus’s children, but could the meaning and status of children conceived by herself alone be the same as those conceived jointly with Zeus later on?
For this reason, she had been terribly worried, but now, all her problems had ceased to exist.
Her beloved God King had made all the arrangements perfectly.
He had even extended and revised the authority of her children, about whom she was helpless and deeply worried, giving their negative divinity relatively positive new meanings that could shine brightly in the new order.
Goddess Nyx was truly moved to her core.
She silently rejoiced in her heart, over and over again, that the most correct decision she had made in her eternal life was to dedicate herself to Zeus!
*Sniffle, sniffle~ Zeus, my love~*
Zeus knew what Nyx was thinking without even looking.
After bestowing honor upon these children, He cast a seemingly unintentional, loving glance at Goddess Nyx, meeting her gaze in the air.
Though only for an instant, their eyes were filled with a silent, exclusive doting and affection meant only for her.
This single glance was enough to drown Goddess Nyx’s entire divine being in boundless happiness.
These children were also ecstatic. They wanted to integrate into the sacred new order! They wanted to enjoy this infinitely beautiful world!
If one had to stay in the Netherworld forever, who could endure it!
In the very beginning, they didn’t even dare to step outside.
Even after Zeus became God King and their mother was accepted into the new order, few gods were willing to associate with them.
Their innate authority and laws destined them to be unwelcome existences.
However, laws and authority were innate; no one could do anything about that!
But now, everything was good!
Under the direct control of the Great Father God—God King Zeus—their authority had become an indispensable part of the universe’s spiraling progress in order!
They could finally live openly and honestly in this new world!
They joyfully knelt before Zeus again, continuously and loudly calling out thanks for their Father God’s supreme bounty.
Zeus smiled and waved them away, and they each happily retreated behind their mother.
It was at this moment that a sudden change occurred!
In the hall, all the gods saw the God King’s gentle expression instantly transform into extreme sternness and mercilessness, His smile vanishing in an instant.
Endless, dense dark clouds, without any warning, instantly and completely enveloped Mount Olympus!
Furthermore, they began to spread and cover the entire world with a devastating and unstoppable force!
The magnificent hall, which had been filled with a harmonious and joyful atmosphere accompanying Zeus’s continuous bounties, instantly froze and turned cold due to the stern and ruthless divine power that now emanated from the God King.
All the gods in the hall, regardless of their temperament, fell silent at this moment.
The atmosphere in the entire hall had become a terrifying ice cave capable of freezing divinity!
All the gods were deeply horrified in their hearts.
They had no idea what had happened!
Everything had been fine just moments ago; how did it suddenly become like this?
Zeus’s gaze penetrated through heavy obstacles and endless space-time, precisely locking onto the distant depths of the ocean.
Some time earlier, in the distant ocean.
After a long search, Menoetius finally found the place where Amalthea was being gestated.
The diligent Ocean God couple, in order to best gestate this goddess beloved by the God King, did not choose to gestate her within a divine body.
That method was far too inferior, and the resulting divine body would have significantly less power and potential than one gestated by her true form.
They carefully placed Amalthea’s original divinity at the deepest and purest core of the entire ocean’s origin.
Using the origin power of the ocean’s pure water, combined with the power of Tethys, the Mother of all Rivers, the Nurturing Goddess of the World, and the Great Primal Goddess of Freshwater, they were nurturing her to the deepest extent.
These two Primal Titans truly exerted all their strength; they developed three new powerful laws for Amalthea: “Nourishment,” “Healing,” and “Purification.”
These three laws were all extremely powerful and vast branches of the laws of water.
Even just one of them was a supreme authority that ordinary gods dreamed of.
Yet, the Ocean God couple actually developed three for her!
Furthermore, it wasn’t just that they developed many laws or that the laws were important and widespread; these three laws also perfectly aligned with Amalthea’s pure, kind, and gentle nature.
The Ocean God couple had truly put in immense effort; the treatment Amalthea received surpassed even that of their most beloved children.
Moreover, the couple also painstakingly worked on her divine body.
Her overall appearance and form remained unchanged.
However, many intricate details were further beautified, optimized, and strengthened.
Additionally, they removed her hooves, transforming them into normal, perfect, and delicate divine feet.
The beautiful horns were naturally not forgotten; the Ocean God knew how much this young goddess loved her horns, so they were specially beautified and meticulously carved.
These two long horns were slender and winding, with a lustrous surface, and were pure gold in color, designed to complement the Horn of Plenty crafted by Zeus.
However, they were also adorned with various colored crystal gems made from ocean pure water, exuding warm radiance, and were specially reinforced to be absolutely hard, unbreakable by anyone in the entire universe.
Although, for the God King’s power, it was still…
Zeus would probably be more careful, otherwise Amalthea would cry again.
Then there was her divine power, which was also the main reason the Ocean God couple did not use their own divine bodies to gestate her.
With the combined efforts of the ocean’s origin and the Nurturing Goddess of Freshwater, in the deepest part of the ocean, the vast power of the ocean continuously transformed boundless chaotic void into the purest and most expansive origin power.
Over forty-eight thousand Divine Twelve Cycles have passed, infusing immeasurable vast power into Amalthea’s divinity.
The final result is that Amalthea’s current power is no less than that of any powerful Second Generation Titan!
In terms of divine body and divine power alone, she could contend with a weaker Primal Titan for a short period!
She was incredibly strong now!
Even Poseidon, if purely comparing divine power and the strength of their divine bodies, might not hold a stable advantage against her.
However, she herself was not yet aware of this.
In fact, Amalthea could have been reborn long ago.
But the Ocean God couple had been with Zeus during this time, weaving the Heavenly Dao order together, and had no time to return.
Amalthea was constantly guarded by twelve powerful daughters of the Ocean whom they had dispatched, with Styx personally overseeing them.
These daughters of the Ocean dared not rashly awaken Amalthea, who was gestating in slumber, and they only rushed to Olympus to attend the Grand Ceremony of the Gods when it was convened.
The current Amalthea was like someone who had reached maturity in all aspects but was still sleeping within her “parents'” bodies.
And in her sleep, she continued to draw upon the power of the ocean to strengthen herself.
She was only awaiting a single voice to awaken her from her slumber.
This was the main reason her sisters could leave with peace of mind to attend the Grand Ceremony of the Gods.
Such a powerful Great Goddess, in her own home in the ocean, in the deepest and most secure place, and moreover, she was the beloved goddess of His Majesty the God King.
No god, no matter how hard they rack their brains, could fathom how any god would be foolish enough to dare harm her?
However, there truly were such gods.
The foolishness of fools is something normal gods can never imagine; they can make the most foolish decisions with just a “flash of inspiration,” decisions that even the wisest gods cannot fathom no matter how hard they think.
And it’s truly hard to guard against thieves within one’s own household.
This secret information was inadvertently revealed by Philyra to Poseidon while they were “playing games.”
Amalthea’s bestowed favor made her extremely envious!
When she was with Poseidon, she couldn’t help but display her deep envy, which Poseidon secretly took note of.
