Chapter 55: Goddess Of Night
The Goddess of Night before him was still shrouded in darkness like thin gauze all over her body, with only the veil over her head dispersed.
The goddess had black hair like inky night and deep black eyes, her lip color a blood-like seductive black-red; she herself was the incarnation of the pitch-black night.
However, her skin was extremely fair and coldly clear, like ice and snow under moonlight, her face stunningly beautiful beyond words.
Her appearance was like a newlywed bride, with a touch of mature charm amid the maiden’s purity.
Her temperament was coldly glamorous and noble, yet carrying a mysterious aura that invited inquiry, making one dare not look directly yet unable to shift their gaze.

Night, oh Night—profound Night, serene Night, hazy Night, clear and cold Night, tranquil Night.
The temptation of Night is always dangerous and mysterious; even knowing that endless dangers might lurk within Night, one cannot resist its temptation.
Because within Night, there might be endless treasures, always so enticing.
Nyx nodded to Zeus in salute, her posture elegant and noble, a faint smile on her lips, her voice clear and cold yet pleasing: “Respected Son of the Goddess Queen, great sacred deity, challenger of the God King, illustrious Zeus, Night salutes you; may your journey be filled with glory.”
Zeus smiled: “Respected Lady of Night, the divine palace is holding a feast; if the gods learn of your arrival, they will all feel immensely honored. I sincerely invite you to feast with us and share in the grand event; that will be Olympus’s supreme glory.”
Nyx smiled faintly, that smile like a fleeting flower blooming in the night, and said softly: “Thank you for your kindness; there will be an opportunity in the future to feast with the gods in your divine palace—I look forward to that day, which will surely be a glorious celebration of the new order.”
She changed the subject: “But today is not yet the time. That former God King does not know we have grown close; this secret connection may be more advantageous for us at present.”
Zeus nodded, showing understanding: “Your Excellency Night, you are right. I considered this very point, so I have not presumptuously visited you, to avoid unnecessary incidents.”
He paused, his tone becoming more solemn, and nodded: “I wonder, since you have come in person today, is there some important matter?”
Nyx restrained her smile somewhat and spoke gently, her tone like a breeze brushing a silent garden: “Respected future God King, I have come today to ask what place Night will have in the cosmic order you envision for the future.”
Zeus’s face grew serious, his expression solemn and grave.
He said earnestly: “Respected Lady of Night, I will forever engrave your help to me in my heart, never daring to forget the slightest bit.”
“In the future new order, Night is an indispensable foundation of the universe, the cornerstone balancing all. I sincerely invite you, Lady, to share supreme honor of the universe with the gods and co-evolve the glory of the future new order.”
Nyx parted her lips lightly without responding, seemingly calmly continuing on her own: “Back then, the Mother of All invited me to resist the Lord of the Sky Dome; at that time, Cronus promised me that the gods would share the universe’s honor.”
She slightly curved her lips, a mocking smile especially clear in the gloom: “He did fulfill the promise, but only I one god could enjoy the honor, and that honor…”
The Lady of Night’s words cut off abruptly; she changed the topic and continued: “Dark Night, in the flow of time, has gestated new gods, but the new gods can only wander in the universe’s Dark Night; the world does not allow their entry.”
“Respected Son of Cronus, how will you formulate the future cosmic order?”
Zeus’s expression grew even more solemn, his eyes filled with sincerity and resolve; he said gravely: “Respected Lady of Night, I assure you, my thoughts have never hidden anything; toward my friends, I never conceal my heart.”
“For the new order I will establish in the future, I have likewise never concealed anything; this concerns all gods of the universe, with nothing that cannot be explained.”
“Here, I tell you my most sincere inner idea: I will construct an order governed jointly by the gods, a more prosperous order, an order where the gods share the universe’s honor.”
“For those friends who helped me, for those deities who construct the universe, I will not stint on my repayment. Every god will surely receive the honor they deserve, the glory belonging to their hardship and contributions.”
“This world belongs to the gods; as long as no one’s honor is harmed, every bit of the world’s beauty will be shared by the gods, without need for contention.”
“The gods are the world’s laws, maintaining the world’s operation and making the universe more beautiful. I will never confine the gods’ nature and creativity; I will support the gods in evolving the world, creating all miracles, making the world more prosperous and beautiful, full of infinite possibilities.”
Nyx smiled and asked: “It sounds far better than the current God King’s order—so, Son of Cronus, if conflicts arise among the gods, how will they be judged?”
Zeus responded seriously: “We have the sacred justice order goddess Themis; her justice is strict and impartial, convincing all gods, witnessed by all.”
“At that time, I will invite the gods to jointly formulate laws conforming to the gods’ intentions, ensuring every rule is fair and reasonable, recognized by all gods.”
“If conflicts arise among the gods, then before me and the Holy Justice Order goddess, let the gods decide together!”
Nyx nodded gently, continuing to smile: “The gods can share the world—how wonderful.”
“However, as the universe evolves, the laws gestated by the gods will multiply, inevitably leading to conflicts and encroachments on other deities’ authority—so how will that be resolved?”
Zeus nodded in acknowledgment: “Lady, you raise a truly crucial point; I have long had an idea for this.”
“One of the most basic principles of the future order is that no deity is allowed to gestate any law encroaching on other deities’ authority.”
“Only laws creating what the world has never seen, enriching the universe’s diversity, are permitted; violators will face severe punishment, even banishment to Tartarus!”
“Of course, if authority is voluntarily granted, that is another matter.”
Zeus smiled: “Lady, is this acceptable? It both upholds the gods’ honor and makes the world more beautiful, prosperous, and colorful.”
The Lady of Night nodded slightly, her posture elegantly poised, her chaos-stunning smile especially captivating; she acknowledged: “Respected Son of Cronus, your plan is extremely reasonable, full of foresight and wisdom.”
