Chapter 52: What Am I Supposed To Do?
Does the God King have family affairs? Deciding the Ruler of the Universe, how could that be a family affair?
Not to mention asking Them for help, I’m really afraid They’ll directly turn coat on the battlefield.
As for the Goddess of Order of Sacred Justice, she has long disliked the God King’s order. As the defender of order, she has already left Mount Othrys.
Asking her to help maintain this soon-to-collapse old order is simply a pipe dream.
She is alone as one god, flawless and holy, with no leverage to coerce.
Moreover, Justice yields to no coercion!
Dirty and despicable means will only thoroughly enrage Themis.
The Goddess of Order is too strong; she absolutely cannot be pushed to the enemy’s side.
Otherwise, that would truly be a catastrophic disaster.
As for the Goddess of Memory Mnemosyne, this god who governs all knowledge and the past has always been alone as one god, her wisdom profound like the endless starry sky.
But.
She has always been on good terms with the Goddess Queen Rhea, with deep friendship, close as one god.
This.
For her not to step in to help the Goddess Queen Rhea is already very good; how could she possibly support the God King to oppose her close friend and her offspring?
By this calculation, the only ones qualified to participate in the battlefield left are the Mother Goddess Gaia, the Lady of Night Nyx, and the Sea God Pontus.
But very regrettably, all these few that the God King has offended are deadly enemies.
Begging Them to remain neutral is already difficult, let alone asking Them to step in and help.
There are also the Gigantes, they were born from drops of the Heavenly Father Uranus’s divine blood falling upon the Earth, always obeying only the Mother Goddess Gaia’s commands.
They live under the Mother Goddess Gaia’s shelter on the Earth, and Gaia granted them the trait of immortality.
They are also very strong, a full one hundred fifty in number, but since the Mother Goddess Gaia even pulled away Pontus, she definitely won’t let them participate in this war.
Prometheus, in a corner of the divine palace, pondered alone back and forth, the worry between his brows growing ever heavier.
He finally sadly discovered that, aside from finding a method to ask the Titan couple of Coeus and Phoebe, who govern intelligence and insight, to step in and help, he could no longer find any other great god who might possibly act.
However, this couple has always been low-key and reserved, and as great gods of bright intelligence, with wisdom deep and unfathomable, insight into worldly affairs, and discernment of success and failure, it will probably be very hard to get Them to wade into this muddy water.
Prometheus thought for half a day, nearly pulling out his hair, and in the end quietly exited the divine palace without alarming any god.
He returned home at his fastest speed; he wants to go home to seek help and guidance from his mother goddess.
In this critical situation, within the entire Iapetus Family, the only one who can conduct effective negotiation with Prometheus and provide wisdom support is his mother goddess, the Oceanid Goddess Clymene.
Clymene, this beautiful and powerful Daughter of Oceanus, is one of the outstanding ones among the Second Generation Titans.
She has deep blue eyes like the ocean, ink-black long hair like a waterfall, skin as radiant as pearl, a graceful figure full of the Daughter of the Ocean’s delicacy.
And beneath her seemingly delicate and frail body lies an extremely terrifying power.
Not to mention anything else, if Prometheus wanted to fight her mother goddess, the odds of victory would only be three to seven.
In three breaths, Clymene would defeat him seven times.
If not for Clymene possessing peerless beauty and extraordinarily powerful strength, Iapetus would never have married the Daughter of Oceanus as his wife.
Of course, if not for Clymene possessing extraordinary wisdom, her father Oceanus would not have married her to Iapetus for a marriage alliance.
Her wisdom far surpasses ordinary gods, and only a mother goddess as wise as her could give birth to Prometheus, the God of Foresight.
She has always not wanted Iapetus to participate in this matter, of course because the Oceanic Pantheon is at odds with the God King.
But this wise and beautiful Titan goddess truly feels that the God King Cronus has already lost the heart of the gods, and the current harsh and decadent order will inevitably face destruction.
If the Iapetus Family remains tightly bound to the God King, everyone’s outcome will likely not be good.
But Iapetus’s will is loyally stubborn; he never listens to the heartfelt gentle advice of the Daughter of the Ocean.
Regarding this, Clymene is also helpless, after all, the will of a Titan god is not something others can easily change.
After a few tentative advisements proved fruitless, what Clymene worried about most were her own several children.
Her several sons about to be drawn into the war, their destinies left her constantly furrowed with worry.
After Iapetus took the children to Mount Othrys, Clymene stayed alone at home, worry like leaden clouds shrouding her beautiful face.
Regarding the current situation, she sees it all too clearly; she knows more than Iapetus and the children.
Her benevolent and wise father god Oceanus has already quietly sent someone to notify her, clearly informing her that the entire Oceanic Pantheon, including all river and lake and sea dependents, has fully supported Zeus!
The Oceanid Lineage has completely gone all in on Zeus; all Oceanid gods obey Zeus’s command.
Moreover, in extreme cases, the Oceanus couple does not rule out personally stepping in, even if it requires breaking an oath.
This means the Ocean God has determined that the final victor will be Zeus.
They have bet all hope and the future on the new gods’ side.
That previous earth-shattering divine war, all the gods saw it with their own eyes; the terrifying war left a deep impression on Them.
The Son of Cronus’s hard strength against the God King is already not falling behind.
Strength already not falling behind, what about the rest?
Others may not know, but Clymene knows: her own younger sister Metis is the Goddess of Wisdom.
The Goddess of Wisdom will not make wrong decisions.
The Incarnation of Wisdom, her judgment will absolutely not err, her choice inevitably represents ultimate victory!
This means strength not inferior to the God King’s has gained the aid of profound wisdom.
Then, the scales of victory have undoubtedly tilted toward Zeus’s side.
As for the heart of the gods, um.
Does the God King still have this thing?
Aside from her own silly husband and children.
With their own relationship, jumping to Zeus’s side would still allow them to live well, but the husband and children refuse to jump ship!
Her own husband and children now firmly guarding a ship destined to capsize, and stubbornly refusing advice, Clymene is naturally extremely worried.
Prometheus returned home with a face full of worry; his eyes that discern the future are now filled with anxiety.
He told Clymene everything that happened in the divine palace, also sharing his analysis and concerns with her. Finally, with helplessness and expectation, he asked: “Mother goddess, given the current situation, it’s extremely unfavorable for the God King. What exactly should our Iapetus Family do?”
