Chapter 259: Shameless God King
With so many gods around, thoughts become lively, and it’s inevitable that they start competing.
It can only be said that whether goddesses or women, they are inherently fond of competition.
To have over a dozen women in their prime youth face the same admired object and still coexist in absolute peace—this miracle even the almighty God King Zeus cannot achieve.
Regarding this, Zeus expressed that as long as it doesn’t escalate uncontrollably, minor squabbles are fine; they even count as flirtation.
With Clymene watching now, it shouldn’t lead to any irreparable competition.
Zeus was currently surrounded by two or three circles of little goddesses, filled with melodious voices and fragrant breezes.
Facing these little goddesses, each with ulterior motives and varied thoughts, He could only pinch faces and rub heads one by one, soothing them well to barely get by.
To show support for Maia’s “elder sister” status, in the end, He only held Maia’s little hand and walked together inside the hall.
Gentle Maia, for the sisters’ unity, actually wanted to keep a low profile.
But she couldn’t bear to let go of the God King’s hand, so she comforted herself inwardly: His Greatness insisted on holding it—how could she make His Greatness unhappy? As His Greatness’s little maidservant, this is also to satisfy His Greatness’s needs.
Zeus strolled along, and when He saw the last “head steward” Clymene, his eyes lit up involuntarily.
He saw that in her pair of translucent ice-blue eyes, the once-suppressed sorrow and grief had melted away like accumulated snow, replaced by a clarity like spring glaciers thawing after rain, with skies clearing.
That was the purest, most translucent, most breathtaking beauty—absolutely stunning.
Clymene came before Zeus, bowed in salute, and with a crisp voice like spring water tinkling, pleaded guilty: “Clymene pays respects to Your Majesty, respectfully wishing Your Majesty well.”
“Clymene pleads guilty to Your Majesty. Not long ago, Clymene left her post without permission; please punish her, Your Majesty.”
After a brief moment of stunning admiration, Zeus heard this and merely smiled lightly, saying in an undeniably gentle tone: “What guilt? How would I not know? You left Olympus—didn’t I permit it?”
“Haha, during this time, Olympus has only had joyful events, nothing bad.”
“Beautiful Clymene, seeing you finally untie your heart’s knot, brush away the dust from your heart, and become even more beautiful and relaxed, I am happy for you.”
“You must know, the past is the past. The future is more important. Live well in the present and forge a future with more hope—that is what matters most, isn’t it? Haha—”
Zeus laughed heartily, not taking this minor matter to heart at all.
Hearing this, Clymene felt the softest part of her heart completely enveloped by a warm current, deeply moved.
She gently pursed her pink-blue thin lips, her pair of crystal-clear ice-blue eyes brimming with autumn water.
The Daughter of the Ocean’s most moving words flowed gently from her sexy and beautiful thin lips: “Your Majesty, you are right. Thank you for your forgiveness—Clymene understands. She understands how to face the present and how to create the future.”
“All of this is your kindness. Clymene… thanks you endlessly for your ocean-like generosity.”
Zeus raised his brow at her and chuckled lightly: “All of this is also your own choice. What kind of choice brings what kind of outcome.”
“As for me, what I gave was merely an opportunity to choose. The final outcome always depends on the living being making the choice.”
“However, I hope every living being chooses the correct path, the path of justice. And ultimately, reaps their own happiness and joy.”
“Dear Clymene, this applies to you and any living being in this universe.”
Clymene nodded gently, her bright ice-blue eyes shining with clear radiance, and continued: “Esteemed Your Majesty, great Your Greatness, for all living beings in this world, having the right to ‘choice’ is already the luckiest thing.”
“Your willingness to grant all spirits the opportunity to ‘choose’ is your most tolerant, deepest love for the entire universe.”
“Hahaha—” Hearing this, Zeus burst into laughter again, his laughter like spring thunder rolling over the mountains, full of heartfelt exhilaration.
His smile was as warm as sunlight, his golden eyes carrying a hint of appreciation and mischief, as he said to Clymene: “Clymene, oh Clymene, thank you for your praise.”
“We’ve only been together this short time, and I’m already starting to be reluctant to leave you. After ten thousand years, I’m afraid I truly won’t be able to leave you.”
Clymene’s heart jolted fiercely, her fine lashes trembling lightly, a mysterious palpitation making her instinctively turn her head slightly, not daring to look straight at the God King’s sunny smile.
She replied in an almost inaudible voice: “Clymene also wishes to serve forever at Your Majesty’s side. To be constantly bathed in Your Majesty’s radiance is the glory Clymene… desires most.”
Zeus just smiled and shook his head gently, saying no more. Some words, pointed out subtly, are enough.
Once He returned to his divine palace amid the little goddesses’ escort, He immediately saw Amalthea lying there bored on the divine seat specially belonging to her beside his supreme God King throne.
She was pouting her pink and moist little mouth, like a cloud without wind, listless, her snow-white long legs casually crossed, utterly lacking any poise.
She was absent-minded, lost in thought, not even noticing Zeus’s return.
After all, unless looking out and Zeus not deliberately concealing his form.
Otherwise, when He did not actively reveal his divine power, no one could easily sense his existence.
Clymene very tactfully led the children who still didn’t want to leave away for now. Though their eyes clearly showed unwillingness and reluctance.
But she knew very well that even if all the Atlas Family’s goddesses were tied together, they couldn’t compare to Amalthea.
Though she herself now counted as Amalthea’s sister, and even the Goddess of Wisdom Metis’s sister, the gap was still incomparable.
The God King had a natural affection for this younger sister, personally writing favoritism for her.
Seeing Amalthea lost in a daze, thinking who knows what, Zeus’s playful mood surged.
He tiptoed, holding his breath, silently approaching her side.
“Ha!!!”
“Ah—!!!”
Zeus suddenly shouted loudly, scaring this already timid goddess out of her wits, causing her to tumble straight off the divine seat.
Fortunately, Zeus had calculated the angle perfectly, catching her steadily in his embrace.
Even after falling into Zeus’s embrace, this dazed and cute goddess still looked around left and right, completely baffled.
This made Zeus unable to hold back anymore; holding her, he laughed until he collapsed onto the divine seat.
Hearing Zeus’s unrestrained loud mischievous laughter, Amalthea finally came back to her senses.
She realized she had been pranked by this bad guy!
She immediately got even angrier.
“Zeus!!!”
Zeus naturally laughed even more happily: “Maia, what’s wrong? Don’t get so worked up. What were you thinking just now? So absorbed you didn’t even know I came in?”
Amalthea puffed up in anger, pushing Zeus’s chest fiercely with her soft little hands.
Of course, it didn’t budge him at all.
She huffily turned her head away, looking to the side, pouting silently to express her strongest protest.
Zeus chuckled softly, continuing to tease her: “So dazed, yet such a temper. What exactly are you mad about? Tell me, tell me.”
As he spoke, he unceremoniously pressed his majestic and robust body onto Amalthea’s plump and delicate divine body.
His lips wandered back and forth over her pink tender cheek, graceful jaw, and white smooth jade neck.
Soon, he teased this already extremely sensitive dazed and cute goddess until her face was flushed, and the anger she had been holding instantly dissipated.
She stubbornly ignored Zeus, tightly closing her golden eyes, refusing to speak.
But her long lashes trembled gently and uncontrollably, just like her increasingly rapid heartbeat.
Breathing in the intoxicating body fragrance of his beloved goddess from between her mouth and nose, Zeus’s tone grew even softer.
He pressed close to her ear, continuing to ask: “Maia, tell me, what exactly were you thinking so intently?”
“Mm hum~” The delicate goddess let out two muffled nasal sounds from her nasal cavity, like coquettish kitten mews.
She still said nothing, but this Daughter of the Ocean’s delicate body had truly softened into a puddle of water, gently resting in the God King’s embrace, like a cloud soaked soft by golden rain.
Zeus was even more smug, teasing further: “Since you won’t say, how about I guess.”
“Mm~ My beloved Maia, were you thinking of me? Wondering why I’ve taken so long without coming to accompany you?”
“Wondering why this gluttonous me suddenly stopped being gluttonous? Do you… want to be eaten by me? Is that it, my dear Maia~”
The God King’s shameless words came out, but the cute goddess couldn’t take them in.
Her snow-white jade-like pretty face became even more radiantly flushed.
She suddenly opened her golden pupils, finally turning her head to glare at Zeus “fiercely” with all her strength.
