Chapter 89: Hah! After All, She’s Just A Goddess
The Lady of Night was the first to break the silence, her clear and indifferent voice slowly emerging from the depths of her black robe, like a whisper of the night wind: “Respected Son of Uranus, Your Majesty the God King, may I ask what brings you personally to my realm of dead silent night at this moment?”
Facing the Lady of Night’s posture of asking despite knowing the answer, Cronus showed none of his usual arrogance as God King, nor did he dare show any dissatisfaction.
On His majestic face, there was instead a trace of amiable smile: “Respected Lady of Night, I seek an audience with Your esteemed self this time to request Your assistance.”
“Nothing in the universe escapes Your all-encompassing gaze. You should know that now there is a group of rebels seeking to overthrow our sacred order, shamelessly attempting to seize our honor. They have brought terrifying disaster and disorder to the entire universe.”
“I have been schemed against by conspiracy, and many Great Gods have been deceived by these petty thieves. Now the order of the universe is in complete chaos, and I need Your help.”
“Only You, respected one, great Lady of Night, primordial foundation of the universe—if You act to assist now, we can bring the sacred order of the universe back on track.”
As the God King’s words fell, the profound darkness of the cosmic starry sky fell into a long and oppressive silence.
After a long while, the Lady of Night’s transcendent voice finally rang out: “Respected Your Majesty the God King, I am but the insignificant night, and I dare not overstep and intervene in matters concerning the universe.”
“Moreover, this is ultimately Your family affair, the family affair of the divine family and God King Family. I dare not participate or overstep into it.”
“Great God King, please forgive me. On this matter, I am truly powerless.”
Cronus was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly: “Respected Lady of Night, I know that in the past, some things I did were not quite proper, even wrongful.”
“But now, I have deeply recognized my past shortcomings. Vast and great night, You are the indispensable noble foundation of the universe.”
“I sincerely invite You to join my sacred order. I promise You that in the bright future, the honor of the universe—Your share will only be greater.”
The night once again fell into silence, but this time, her tone carried a bit more “human touch.”
She said slowly: “Respected Your Majesty the God King, the past is the past, and those things are no longer important. I am very satisfied with everything I possess now, and very grateful for Your bestowal.”
“But regarding Your current request, I truly cannot give any promise. This is not something I can participate in.”
Although Cronus felt extreme unwillingness in his heart, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That the Lady of Night would not act against him was already a great fortune amid misfortune.
But He still wanted to strive for it, so the God King continued mildly: “Respected Lady of Night, please have no reservations. This is an invitation personally extended to You by me, Cronus. What is there for You to worry about?”
The Lady of Night shrouded in darkness secretly curled her lip, her eyes full of mockery.
The God King continued: “In the past, my Father God, the Master of Spirituality Uranus, did something extremely cruel to the darkness.”
“I have been trying every means to salvage the terrible consequences brought by this matter and make amends for my Father God’s past wrongdoing.”
“But before I could succeed, those despicable rebels suddenly appeared, completely disrupting all my plans and arrangements.”
“However, this does not mean total failure. Everything can still be salvaged!”
“Respected Lady of Night, I promise You—by my sacred name as Cronus, I promise You that after victory in this war, I will hand Erebus over to You for disposal.”
“You may dispose of him as You wish, however You like.”
Upon hearing this, Nyx’s heart jolted suddenly, a deeper disgust and hatred instantly surging to her heart, feeling utter revulsion at Cronus’s hypocrisy and cruelty.
But she still said nothing, merely letting the black veil conceal her true emotions at this moment.
Having spoken, Cronus quietly awaited the Lady of Night’s reply.
However, He waited a long time without receiving the answer He wanted, feeling extreme disappointment in his heart.
He had no choice but to continue: “Solemn incarnation of eternal night, regardless of whether You assist or not, I make this eternal promise to You. Please rest assured, I will never change this promise.”
The God King paused, then continued: “However, my promise can only be fulfilled after I achieve final victory.”
“If those rebels flukily seize my honor, then what those insidious, cunning, greedy, and despicable rebels might do to darkness and night is truly unimaginable.”
The universe’s profound curtain let out a soft sigh, and the Lady of Night’s voice slowly rang out: “Generous Your Majesty the God King, thank You for Your promise and bestowal, but I truly have no other thoughts and dare not participate in this change affecting the universe.”
“Please allow me to quietly remain outside the world. This war, I truly lack the courage to participate in it.”
Cronus said no more, his face indifferent. He slowly nodded, and finally said generously: “Respected Lady of Night, I will always respect You, and this promise of mine will always stand. Please consider it carefully. Mount Othrys will always welcome You!”
The Lady of Night nodded slightly in salute: “Thank You for Your tolerance and generosity. I will consider it carefully and make the most correct choice.”
Cronus likewise nodded in return salute, then turned and left this profound starry sky.
In any case, at least the Lady of Night not participating in this war was a good deed.
‘What a pity, such a good opportunity to possess part of the authority of darkness, and yet the Lady of Night does not seize it tightly.’
The God King sneered inwardly: ‘She didn’t dare before, but now she can even hold back. It seems she truly has no ambition.’
‘Hah! After all, she is just a goddess.’
After coldly watching Cronus depart, the Lady of Night’s enveloping darkness quietly dissipated, revealing her flawless exquisite curves and peerless beauty that outshone the universe.
A contemptuous scoff escaped from her stunning lips, carrying extreme mockery toward Cronus.
Her tall figure then turned, quietly vanishing into the profound night, silently awaiting the news of Zeus’s final victory in the decisive battle.
Cronus’s promise?!
Whoever believes it again is the biggest fool!
The night will never stumble twice in the same pit!
Likewise, the night must avenge any grudge!
On Zeus’s side, when Zeus returned to Mount Olympus from the ocean’s edge, the gods’ feast was still continuing.
