Chapter 22: Zeus’s Divine Authority
After a long while, Metis said: “Noble Son of the Goddess Queen, please state your plan.”
Zeus moved closer to Metis, his expression even more solemn, and said: “I need to put the God King into deep sleep completely, without any ability to resist, even if just for an instant, that would be enough.”
Metis asked: “What is your honor?”
Zeus was silent for a moment, then slowly said: “Severance, of everything.”
Metis’s heart shook greatly, even her golden pupils contracted for an instant, she chuckled lightly, and slowly said with a light laugh: “What a great and terrifying authority.”
“Son of the God King and Goddess Queen, indeed terrifying.”
“But is that all?”
This was the first time she showed a smile in front of Zeus, though it was a meaningful smile, it still stunned him.
Along this journey, he had seen hundreds and thousands of ocean maidens, but never had any goddess’s smile been so captivating.
This was the flawless smile of supreme wisdom.
What sentient being could refuse wisdom?
Zeus laughed heartily: “Of course not just that, sky, dominion, future, hope, these are all authorities granted to me by the Mother Goddess.”
The Goddess of Wisdom neither affirmed nor denied, suddenly asking: “Noble Son of the Goddess Queen, what do you think of the current cosmic order?”
Zeus sighed inwardly, this Goddess of Wisdom’s thought was too fast, and too erratic.
But He still answered following Metis’s question: “Whatever your view is, that is my view.”
The indifferent Metis’s inexplicable smile faded, and she said coldly: “I want your view.”
Zeus frowned, seriously replying: “A terrible order, Son of Uranus, just following the old path of the Ruler of Spirituality.”
The wise Metis immediately followed up: “And what about you? How would you construct the cosmic order?”
Zeus lowered his head in thought, Metis quietly waited, after a long time Zeus looked up with a sunny smile: “Since it can’t be stopped, then actively embrace it.”
“The current world, all gods isolated from each other, the world lifeless and stagnant, I don’t like such a world.”
“I hope all gods can connect with each other, let laws freely collide and unite, all gods together make the world better, I won’t allow any god to destroy this world.”
The bright-eyed Metis listened to Zeus’s words, silent for a long time, suddenly blooming into a smile, even her indifferent tone dispersed without a trace.
“Noble Son of Rhea, I hope you remember everything you said today.”
Without waiting for Zeus to speak, the Goddess of Wisdom continued: “The Goddess Queen’s authority itself can control the God King, but the God King is too strong, even if controlling the God King for an instant, the God King won’t be without reaction, let alone without ability to resist.”
“When the God King is slack, the Goddess Queen can slowly restrict the God King’s connection to the movement of heaven and earth, restricting the God King’s power.”
“The God King loves most to drink honey wine brewed by flower nymphs, I can mix pure water blended with void to prepare a cup of honey wine.”
“After the Goddess Queen makes the God King’s perception dull, have the God King drink this special honey wine, it can make the God King silent for an instant, disconnecting Him from the world.”
“Remember, only one instant, there won’t be a second opportunity.”
（PS: The Wine God invented wine, for mortals to drink. Before that, gods had their own wine, called Nectar（Nectar）, this is a transliteration, meaning: divine wine/nectar, close to honey, the god wine drunk by gods, also called honey wine, a liquid state divinity carrier, with the effects of granting gods immortal flesh undying, maintaining eternal youth and divine power, containing divinity and immortality.）
At this point, the serene Metis paused, then continued: “The God King’s essence, your current self probably still can’t sever, what you can sever is only the laws the God King has already devoured.”
“Though the laws have been devoured, spirituality isn’t so easily devoured, divinity is vast and resilient, it should still exist.”
“After you sever the laws, you won’t have a chance to devour them either, I suggest you let them return to their original owners, so you can immediately have several powerful helpers.”
Zeus nodded repeatedly, this external brain was so useful, no need to say anything himself, everything was arranged, clear and logical, scheme clear, high feasibility.
The scheme was correct, same as the original, the original process of defeating the God King was already the best, no need to change, just optimize the details a bit.
And this most important key point, also the sole choice that must be done, absolutely needs Metis’s help.
The current God King is really too strong, strong to an absurd degree, truly invincible in the universe, without weakening, this battle can’t be fought at all.
Look at the God King’s body full of laws now, if directly confronting now, whoever goes up dies!
Try it and you’re dead. Guaranteed death.
No fear of old tricks, as long as it works, it’s already the optimal solution answer, insisting on showing off would be losing wits, pure fool seeking death.
‘Now gaining you is truly like fish getting water! Hearing your words is like clouds parting to reveal the sun, suddenly enlightened!’ He thought inwardly.
Then he said very straightforwardly: “I understand, all as you say.”
The doubtful Metis lightly furrowed her brow, tilting her little head curiously asked: “We only met for the first time today, and you really trust me this much?”
Zeus threw his head back and laughed: “Naturally, I trust you.”
Saying so, He gave Metis a gentle yet deep smile, looked up toward that incredibly towering and majestic mountain peak within the world, and said with a sighing smile: “Because we both hope to see a better world.”
Metis looked at the young god before her, somewhat absent-minded, perhaps the God King long ago was like this too.
Full of courage and confident optimism, even on first meeting, possessing a convincing charm.
The Son of the God King before her eyes will succeed, will become the next generation God King.
The decadent order will always be overthrown, won’t it?
Zeus didn’t know when he had come before the absent-minded Metis, even the beautiful Goddess of Wisdom’s purple long hair floating with the water was about to drift onto Zeus.
“Then next, everything is entrusted to the bright-eyed goddess.” Zeus’s sudden words brought back Metis’s thought.
Metis startled for an instant, then pretended as if nothing happened and nodded, hurriedly turning to swim toward the distance, the direction where the ocean connects to the universe.
Zeus followed closely, Metis asked without looking back: “Son of the Goddess Queen, why are you following me?”
“Many of my sisters miss you very much, making honey wine still needs time, you can go find them first, I will find you.”
Zeus smiled: “But I can’t find you, so it’s better to follow you.”
“Ah, right, I have another question I want to ask you.”
“Hm?”
