Chapter 74: The Completely Doomed Goddess Of Wisdom
Seeing the goddess in his embrace hesitate for a moment, Zeus’s eyes flashed with sharp light. He knew well that he must strike while the iron is hot and make her completely fall into the river of love before wisdom recovers rationality!
Otherwise, once she sobers up, the difficulty of strategy her next time would increase far too much!
His slender and powerful arms, which had been tightly encircling the tender goddess in his embrace, now loosened slightly, with the strength and action perfectly measured.
It appeared both sincere and carried a hint of “helpless release.”
His magnetic voice was now filled with deep affection and restrained grief, as if every word was spoken with blood and tears: “My love, please do not torment my heart any longer. If you truly do not wish to accept my love, I am willing to let go, but please do not stay by my side anymore.”
“My heart cannot bear the scorching love burning by my side every day, yet I cannot touch it. That is the greatest torment to my divinity, I cannot endure it.”
Zeus said this as if he were truly about to let go.
But in reality, his arms merely loosened a tiny bit more, without truly releasing the goddess in his embrace.
What a joke—at such a critical moment, letting go was absolutely out of the question.
If her reaction was off, he could immediately hold her tight again, switch to another offensive, and ensure she completely drowned in it!
The goddess of wisdom listened to Zeus’s words filled with deep affection and grief, feeling his arms that seemed slightly relaxed due to pain yet unwavering, her originally soft heart could no longer make any refusal at this moment.
The last dam of rationality collapsed with a crash before the surging tide of emotion, all rationality and wisdom were cast by her to the heavens beyond the clouds.
At this moment, her world consisted only of Zeus.
She mustered courage, her beautiful face carrying a trace of tension and determination, directly boldly proving with action her most fervent decision deep in her heart.
The bright-eyed goddess of wisdom, this noble Oceanid Goddess, slowly raised her head, her bright eyes filled with gentle waves of tenderness and lingering affection, carrying determination and shyness.
Then, she boldly kissed Zeus’s lips directly!
At the instant Metis kissed him, a flash of triumphant joy passed through Zeus’s heart.
His arms, which had been slightly loosened, now suddenly tightened fiercely, pulling the tender goddess in his embrace even closer, leaving her absolutely no chance to escape.
He tightly embraced the goddess drowned in the river of love, giving her a passionate response like a storm sweeping the ocean.
The figures of the two gods intertwined closely atop the Divine Mountain, as if time and space had stagnated for them.
After a long while, the two gods with lips and teeth intertwined slowly parted. Metis’s pair of golden pupils, once bright as stars, were now glistening like spring water, rippling with waves, flowing with inseparable tenderness.
She gazed deeply at Zeus with eyes full of love, her voice gentle like a breeze brushing flower petals, carrying a coquettish plea and boundless infatuation:
“Zeus, my love, how could I bear to leave you? How could I refuse your love? As long as you do not tire of my love, I will forever accompany you by your side, until the end of eternity.”
She made such a firm oath to uphold eternity forever.
Zeus’s profound eyes were filled with doting and tenderness. He said softly: “My beloved, my heart’s goddess, how could I tire of your enchanting and beautiful wisdom?”
“No, never. We will be together forever, forever and ever. In the endless beautiful years of the future, let us share all the beauty of the world together and witness the prosperity of the universe together!”
However, amid the tenderness, Zeus shifted his tone, carrying a hint of “grief,” his furrowed brows seemingly showing a trace of “hurt” expression again.
“But, my dear Metis, my love, please do not doubt my love for you anymore in the future.”
“Please do not hurt me in that way again. Even the slightest distrust from you causes my heart unbearable torment beyond words.”
Metis slightly tilted her head, sculpted like moonlight, gazing at Zeus, staring dazedly at his handsome and profound face. Her gaze was hazy with love, like a river surface shrouded in morning mist, hazy and beautiful.
Her slender jade hand trembled slightly, gently and cherishingly caressing Zeus’s angular, perfect, handsome cheek. Her voice carried deep apology and remorse: “Zeus, my love, my god, I’m sorry, truly sorry. I will never do it again.”
The warmth from her fingertips was her sole faith at this moment.
The eyes of the goddess of wisdom, once filled with wisdom, now held only loyalty and obedience to her beloved.
She said most sincerely: “I swear, I will forever accompany you, forever trust you, forever be loyal to you, until the end of eternity.”
The pure and beautiful goddess of wisdom made the most firm and sincere oath to Zeus, every word branding the goddess of wisdom’s unregretted determination.
She was utterly done for.
Feeling Metis’s utter resolve, Zeus’s powerful arms tightened even more around the goddess in his embrace.
His handsome face bloomed with the gentlest, most doting smile, his tone filled with affirmation and satisfaction: “My wisdom, my heart’s beloved, we will be together forever. Forever and ever, my love for you is eternally unchanging!”
Metis’s heart surged with fierce waves like raging tides at this moment. She gazed dazedly at Zeus’s peerlessly handsome face, as if to etch every detail of him into the depths of her divinity.
She tightly hugged Zeus’s broad and sturdy back, pressing her delicate cheek against his firm chest, feeling his strong and powerful heartbeat.
At this moment, all her wisdom and rationality had melted away.
She was willing to give everything for Zeus.
No matter what, she would not hesitate.
Of course Zeus would not abandon Metis to gain the support of Coeus and his wife—what kind of people were they?
Victory was predestined; everything was under control.
Everything done now was merely to make this victory the most splendid and perfect.
To completely win the heart of the gods, laying the firmest foundation for future immortal rule.
If he abandoned Metis, all this effort would truly be meaningless.
All previous efforts, the mercy and wisdom displayed, the new Holy Justice Order proclaimed, would all dissolve into nothing.
The greatest reason for the God King’s defeat was that he had lost the heart of the gods; few gods wanted to stand by his side anymore.
Even for the God King, when the heart of the gods scattered, nothing could be done well.
Destruction was never the objective!
That was the most stupid end!
Just like Cronus, resorting to any means for victory, sacrificing everything for power—what difference would there be between him and Cronus?
How then to gather the power and wisdom of the gods to achieve supreme omnipotence?
