Chapter 211: Silly Child, Why Are You So Useless?
She fundamentally didn’t want to, nor dared to think too much about it, yet because of this, she felt an unprecedented deep sense of crisis.
Never having possessed it, even losing it wouldn’t matter.
However, since she already possessed all these long-cherished things, she could no longer accept losing them.
Even someone as powerful as the Goddess of Night was no exception.
She, who had long drowned in the river of love, simply couldn’t imagine how terrifying and unbearable the days would be if Zeus’s companionship were no longer by her side.
Even so, the greedy Night still wanted to possess more, more, and the most love from the God King.
Besides, Mnemosyne and Themis had all married Zeus, so what was her own matter compared to that?
After thinking too much, the Goddess of Night’s expression flickered, and she finally decided—go all out!
Her most beloved God King, His love was the most important! Nothing else!
If the little ones of Olympus could vie for the God King’s love, then the goddesses of the Night God’s line could naturally do so too!
The Goddess of Night kept comforting herself in her heart like this, allowing herself to accept this thing that she originally couldn’t accept at all.
She took a deep breath, then finally slowly said to her daughter before her: “Hemera, my treasure.”
“Back then, that detestable Uranus forcibly and ruthlessly took you from my side, making me endure the pain of torn divinity, and fundamentally forcibly changed your essential root.”
“But now it seems, this may not be a bad thing.”
“Mm.” The Lady of Night tried to organize her words, then continued slowly: “After all, your origin is already that of Hyperion and Theia’s child. If—if you fall in love with Zeus, it’s not a big deal.”
“You’re not my biological daughter after all, are you?”
Hearing the Goddess of Night’s words, which were clearly finding steps and reasons for herself, Hemera immediately understood the Lady of Night’s meaning.
Her heart was instantly filled with immense ecstasy, even forgetting how to speak.
The Lady of Night continued: “Moreover, being in Olympus, you can get even closer to Zeus, which is also a good thing.”
“There are simply too many little, little goddesses in Olympus. I ultimately reside in the Netherworld most of the time. Zeus, He spends most of His time in Olympus after all.”
“With you watching Him, watching the situation in Olympus, letting Zeus know at every moment that the Goddess of Night is always waiting for Him, always by His side. This is also a good thing for us, for us.”
Hearing this, Hemera could no longer suppress her emotions and suddenly threw herself into the Goddess of Night’s embrace, hugging this former Mother Goddess tightly.
Joyful tears had already slowly flowed down her cheeks. She said excitedly: “My dear Mother Goddess, thank you for your tolerance, thank you for your bounty. Sorry. Really sorry.”
The Goddess of Night sighed softly in her heart. She gently stroked Hemera’s pure white bright hair that emitted a soft radiance, and smiled faintly: “Silly child, what thanks, and what sorry?”
“Of course the Mother Goddess wants to give you everything best in this world. Even love, sharing it with you, the Mother Goddess does so willingly.”
“Anyway…” The Goddess of Night slightly furrowed her beautiful eyebrows, then lightly hummed: “There are simply too many goddesses sharing that greedy God King!”
“Us taking this love for ourselves is better than handing it over to those other little, little goddesses.”
Hemera clung tightly to the Goddess of Night’s embrace, her heart full of filial piety and attachment.
The Goddess of Night, in a tone full of earnest concern, instructed her beloved child: “Hemera, my treasure, you must know that there are simply too many goddesses watching Zeus.”
With that, the Goddess of Night slowly raised her exquisite head and gazed toward the direction of Olympus.
The brilliant and dazzling moonlight radiance had now enveloped the entire Mount Olympus.
The light of that bright moon was almost about to overshadow the sun!
During this time, whether Daylight or Night, the entire world was radiant and bright.
Her expression turned serious, and she continued: “So, Hemera, you must act quickly too.”
Hemera’s cheeks flushed slightly, with a touch of shyness mixed with deep-seated timidity.
She slightly lowered her eyelids, not daring to look directly at the Mother Goddess, and said timidly in a voice almost like a murmur: “Mother Goddess… I, I don’t dare.”
“My interactions with His Majesty the God King on ordinary days have been far too few.” At this point, the bright eyes of this Goddess of Daylight involuntarily showed deep loneliness.
Seeing this, the Lady of Night glared at her in frustration at her lack of steel.
But in her heart, she felt even more heartache and even more guilt.
Aether, Hemera, this pitiful pair of siblings, had been unable to control their own fates since the era of Uranus, only going with the flow like rootless duckweed.
It was precisely these too long helpless years that had shaped Their current cautious, timid nature when facing things.
This was not Their fault.
Nyx composed her expression, gently embraced her cherished treasure, and comforted in an extremely gentle voice: “Silly child, you must remember, you are one of the universe’s root Primal Laws, you are the eternal incarnation of ‘Daylight’.”
“Your status, across the entire universe, is undeniably great. Even compared to me, though your power is still not as strong as mine, your status is in no way inferior.”
“You are Daylight, and Zeus is the Sky. You two are a match made in heaven!”
“Moreover, look at yourself, my most radiant treasure, how bright and brilliant you are!”
“How could there be any god in this world who wouldn’t love you? Especially, especially that greedy God King we all know.”
“Silly child, you don’t understand Zeus, but the Mother Goddess does. A goddess like you, so bright and brilliant yet gentle and delicate, is exactly what He loves the most.”
The Goddess of Night spared no effort in encouraging her timid child. She gently held Hemera and said softly: “The Mother Goddess and Him have privately discussed you siblings before. Zeus has always had a favorable impression of you. Whenever He talks about you, His words are full of praise.”
Hearing this, Hemera instantly perked up.
She suddenly lifted her head, gazing at her Mother Goddess, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.
Seeing this, the Goddess of Night continued with a smile: “Silly child, although Zeus is sometimes too majestic and domineering. But He is also a gentle and passionate great God King. This is beyond doubt.”
“As long as you are willing, He will certainly be deeply attracted to you and will certainly fall deeply in love with you.”
“My beloved treasure, you must not be afraid. When it’s time to act bravely, you must act bravely. You must know, our God King is not some reserved or unappreciative god.”
At this point, the dark red corners of the Lady of Night’s lips curved into a smile full of disdain.
She extended her slender jade finger and gently pointed toward the sky dome, saying in an extremely disdainful tone: “Look, isn’t that the most typical example?”
“Everyone says that Selene is so aloof and proud, indifferent and distant, never showing favor even to her own family. Have you ever heard of her being close to anyone?”
“When have you ever seen her close to Zeus? But now, look again?”
“Hmph! Zeus had just left me, and she immediately pounced on Him! And Zeus…”
“Zeus! He! Sigh! This god of His has always been unable to hold Himself back!”
“Now, that Selene can be considered your sister too. What are you afraid of? Since she dared to do it and succeeded directly, if you take the initiative, how could you not succeed?”
“You must know, you are the eternal Daylight, far greater than her clear radiant light!”
The Lady of Night had earnestly persuaded for so long, but mentioning Selene at the end instead thoroughly extinguished the tiny bit of confidence Hemera had just mustered.
Although Selene’s temperament had always been aloof, she was the child most, most doted on by the Lord of Celestial Bodies Hyperion and the Mother of Radiance Theia, without a doubt.
Even in the era of Cronus, though Selene and her two siblings were not granted any honors by Cronus, Selene still did as she pleased, and even Cronus turned a blind eye to it.
For this point, Hemera, who had become the nominal child of Hyperion and Theia, saw it all too clearly.
Selene’s aloof independence, her transcendent purity, her impartiality to all and free-spirited posture in doing things—these were what Hemera had always deeply envied.
Because she had never possessed such a free-spirited style.
She had never had such confidence.
Hemera once again lowered her head deeply and said in an extremely timid voice: “Mother Goddess, I… I still don’t dare.”
After the Lady of Night said so much, only to get this response, she immediately felt a bit dizzy.
To think, she herself had been oppressed by the Celestial Pantheon for so much time.
It could even be said that the pressure from the Celestial Pantheon had to be endured head-on, whether she could bear it or not.
Even under various oppressions, she remained unyielding, fighting repeatedly despite defeats, never truly submitting（ submitting to Zeus doesn’t count）!
After setting her sights on Zeus, she launched the fiercest offensive without hesitation! And achieved the most glorious success!
How come when it came to her own child, she didn’t even have this bit of courage?
If she weren’t protecting her from behind, even if she really became Zeus’s goddess, she would probably be bullied to death by those little ones of the Celestial Pantheon!
