Zeus, You Bastard, You Set Me Up! 2/4

Several days later, on Mount Olympus, the former god persuaded some ancient deities, including the Metis, Goddess of Wisdom, to return home.

The handsome young god- King of Gods Zeus tenderly helped this influential strategist to the throne, where they each occupied half of it, their deep affection almost palpable.

In the corner, Hera, arms crossed, looked at the Goddess of Wisdom, whose presence, accentuated by the throne, made everything around her pale in comparison, a longing reflected deep in her eyes.

In the divine court, the gathering of all the gods was already used to this exclusive favor.

The reason is simple: the current prosperity of Mount Olympus is almost entirely due to Metis's grand strategy.

Initially, they lacked martial arts skills and divine power, and had few supporters, so they were at a disadvantage in battle, but they managed to gain a foothold.

Zeus, guided by the goddess, went to visit the Earth Mother Goddess and was ordered to go to the Tartarus Abyss, where the laws of death filled the earth.

Inside were three Cyclopes skilled in crafting divine weapons and Cyclops architecture, and three Hecatoncheires of immense strength and proficiency in combat.

They were originally created by Gaia, the Earth Mother, as ancient Titan Gods, and their power was quite terrifying.

However, he was accused of having excessive lust and fearing that his position would be challenged. Uranus, the first Father God, imprisoned him in the Tartarus Abyss on the grounds of "making a fuss," and placed him under the guard of the dragon Campo.

As the chosen one, Zeus lived up to expectations. He led his two brothers to defeat the dragon and personally freed the Cyclops and the Hecatoncheires from their bonds, allowing them to live on the surface of the earth.

So the three Cyclops forged for Zeus the Thunder Thunderbolt Scepter, which controls thunder, and the Goatskin Divine Shield, which can absorb and reflect damage, inside Mount Etna.

At the same time, they also forged the trident that Poseidon could wield the ocean, and created a helmet that could make Hades invisible.

The other gods also received a significant boost in their divine power, and with the addition of the Hecatoncheires, their overall strength gradually narrowed the gap with the older Titan Lords.

But what displeased Poseidon and Hades was that Zeus was the one who personally liberated the three Cyclops and the three Hecatoncheires.

After they joined forces to defeat the dragon Campa, Hades and Poseidon were left outside the prison gates, while Zeus, citing danger, went ahead to scout the way.

Therefore, these six grandfather-generation monsters all signed a contract with this God -King of Gods and obeyed his commands.

In this way, Zeus had three bodyguards of the highest order of the gods, and he also controlled the weapons and craftsmen of the gods, making his leadership position even more unshakeable.

The two brothers were well aware that this strategy of strengthening the trunk and weakening the branches was definitely related to the Goddess of Wisdom.

Despite their dissatisfaction, if they want to win this battle and ultimately rebuild from the ashes, they need to heed this wisdom and enlightenment.

Later, although they received help from the Cyclops and the Hecatoncheires, they were able to stabilize their camp.

However, in terms of strength, both sides are still immature, and there is still a considerable gap between Mount Olympus and Mount Othrys, which has ruled the Greek World for thousands of years.

After all, in the process of the Twelve Titans constantly creating and perfecting the Greek World, their primal and powerful forces had become the foundation of the world's operation.

They are ordered according to basic principles, and are the following twelve Titan Lords.

Oceanus,

Coeus, God of Celestial Bodies

Crius, God of Weather

Hyperion, God of Light

Iapetus, God of Souls and Speech,

Thea, the goddess of vision and light

Rhea, the goddess of abundance and time

Themis, Goddess of Law and Justice,

Memory, language, and writing—the goddess Mnemosyne.

Phoebe, Moon Goddess

Tethys, Goddess of the Sea

Cronus, the god of the heavens and time.

These Ancient Gods were nearly immortal and unprecedentedly powerful.

If these uncles and elders hadn't been wary of each other's brothers and sisters, who might stab each other in the back, even if they fought to the death and obtained divine assistance from the Olympian Gods, they wouldn't have much of a chance of winning.

Both sides were hesitant to fight, so they held back, resulting in a long and drawn-out war of attrition. Until the balance of power was decisively reversed, the two sides slowly wore each other down.

During this process, the Goddess of Wisdom did not stop. She secretly implemented various strategies to specifically divide and weaken the power of the Twelve Titans.

First, Oceanus, Tethys, Goddess of the Sea, created 6,000 rivers and springs, making water the source of life and surrounding the world.

But their favorite child was Metis, whom they had given birth to themselves.

The Queen of Gods took matters into her own hands and easily persuaded her parents to side with their son-in-law Zeus, bringing with them her five most outstanding siblings to aid in the battle.

Secondly, Metis promised the land in the eastern part of the Greek World to the couple, the God of Light and the Goddess of Light, guaranteeing that their offspring, the gods of the sun, moon, and dawn, would not be entangled in war and could enjoy peace.

These two withdrew from the fight and returned to Greece and the East to take care of their child.

Furthermore, because Rhea gods, was imprisoned by Cronus for secretly releasing her children, she would not participate in the conquest of Mount Olympus.

As a result, only 7 of the 12 Titan Lords of Mount Othrys remained.

Subsequently, as their influence grew, more and more young people joined their ranks.

With the pressure on Olympus greatly reduced, the tide of battle began to tilt slightly in their favor, and all the gods were overjoyed, increasingly admiring the Goddess of Wisdom Olympus's strategy.

A few days ago, this wise Queen of Gods quietly left during a lull in the ceasefire and secretly began to persuade the remaining Titans.

However, judging from the results, things don't seem to be progressing as smoothly as before.

Zeus, who had a smooth and successful journey, showed his tenderness and consideration as a boyfriend after his wife returned home.

The sweet, almost flattering words that kept flowing from the mouth of the King of Gods made the Metis, Goddess of Wisdom, beside him laugh uncontrollably and feel extremely happy.

The celebratory feast then commenced, and a joyous and festive atmosphere filled the temple. Below, all the gods raised their cups in tribute to their king and queen.

As the joyous gathering came to a close in its climax, all the gods departed one after another, leaving only the six primordial siblings and two newly Olympus faces.

"Ahem, these are the two sons of Iapetus, the Iapetus Soul and Speech, among the Twelve Titans: Prometheus the Prophet and Epimetheus the Knower."

"The reason we've kept them here today is because these two have suggested a further method to dismantle the twelve Titans."

"Everyone thinks that you're working too hard every day, lobbying and keeping an eye on the war situation. Since things have hit a bottleneck, why not listen to their opinions?"

Zeus coughed lightly and spoke with a considerate expression.

The five siblings, who were engrossed in enjoying their food and drink, suddenly trembled and their faces turned ashen.

What do you mean by "everyone thinks so"? You can decide for yourself what you think, why are you dragging us Lower Waters this?

In this way, he immediately became the focus of attention. The prophet Prometheus stiffened, his scalp tingling, and in his mind, he hurled a torrent of abuse at a certain cousin.
