The Disease Called Love 1/5

"Oh? Tell me about it."

The Goddess of Wisdom slowly stopped, turned slightly, casually sat back down opposite her, and listened attentively, resting her chin on her hand.

"The Curse of Uranus is not specifically aimed at Cronus, but rather at the King of Gods Bloodline!"

"The fate of the succubus is unending. And you... are pregnant now... Your Queen of Gods..."

Samael lowered her eyes to look at the pregnant belly under the loose gauze dress and murmured softly.

Beside her Themis, who also possessed a certain Divinity of Destiny, hesitated to speak, and ultimately did not refute.

"So, in the revelation you received, what is my fate?"

Metis lovingly stroked the pulsating life force and opened his lips to ask a question.

"They'll be eaten, become part of him..."

Samael gave a stern warning, his tone sinister.

To everyone's surprise and astonishment, the Goddess of Wisdom slowly raised her head, her smile carrying a profound meaning.

"Wouldn't that be better?"

"Little guy, you didn't say that he wouldn't kill me. I shouldn't really die. I will enjoy everything he has in another way."

Samael's expression froze, and he looked at the smiling Goddess of Wisdom with a chill running down his spine.

He vaguely sensed that Metis's answer was serious.

But this kind of love has almost become distorted.

In an instant, the ancient snake thought of a certain bloody and lewd term—"Yandere".

"I told you long ago, stay away from that madman with the King of Gods Bloodline! He knew it wouldn't end well, but he still insisted on jumping into the fire!"

"Are you crazy? He treated you like this, and you still love him?"

Themis, Goddess of Justice who raised her niece, was furious at Metis's infatuated smile.

Of course I love it!

"And if I'm willing, I, the King, will definitely give you my heart."

The Queen of Gods, resting her smooth chin on her hand, looked at the now completely devoid of her imposing and elegant aura, her tone earnest and proud, like a rebellious young Goddess of Justice.

For some reason, that confidence made the two people present have no doubt about Metis's boasting and judgment.

What's so good about a scumbag like Zeus?

The ancient serpent muttered to itself, and its lips twitched slightly as the image of a certain King of Gods appeared in its mind.

Okay, he's certainly handsome, and he has it all: status, ability, sweet talk, and shamelessness.

Many women fall for this, otherwise how could he have seduced so many goddess wives?

After suppressing his frustration, Samael glanced at the cold-faced Themis, a hint of annoyance rising in his heart. "I thought the Divinity of Destiny was Ootengu."

The enemy came from behind, and this stab was completely unexpected.

You had already warned her when you were raising her for half a year, but this Yandere and yandere adopted daughter still went ahead without hesitation.

So, that couple might actually like this kind of thing. I don't understand their thought process, so it's best if we don't get involved.

Seeing that the Goddess of Justice, who was both her tutor and teacher, was about to lose her temper, the Goddess of Wisdom immediately changed the subject, looking at Samael with a meaningful smile.

"Little one, if that's all you're trying to say, you're underestimating the gods, and you're underestimating me and him."

This family is such a handful.

Indeed, there was a reason why Zeus, as the only Greek King of Gods who escaped the bloodline curse, was able to perpetuate his authority for so long.

The ancient snake frowned and muttered to itself, feeling a bit of a headache.

At that moment, the fiery Tina rushed into the house, leaned close to someone's ear, and began to describe something in a babbling, stylized manner.

Samael's brow gradually relaxed as he gently stroked Tina's head. He looked at the Goddess of Wisdom with renewed certainty and murmured softly.

"It seems that His Majesty the King of Gods is very worried about your safety and has even dispatched a Hecatoncheires to accompany and guard you outside the swamp."

"You still won't give up?"

Metis rubbed her forehead, rolled her eyes coquettishly, and her opinion of the little guy dropped considerably.

If they really come to blows with Olympus, Auntie's life will be difficult from now on.

"Telling you about the so-called 'evil ending' is just to repay a favor. I never intended to persuade Your Majesty the Queen of Gods Olympus in the first place,"

Samael smiled, his eyes clear, while Metis across from him raised an eyebrow, gradually becoming interested.

"So, what exactly are you trying to say?"

The ancient serpent lowered its head, gazing intently at Metis's protruding belly, and slowly opened its mouth.

"Indeed, you two can do whatever you want behind closed doors..."

But what about the children?

The smile on the Goddess of Wisdom froze instantly, her cherry lips pursed, her expression somber and complex.

"So now, can we talk about the transaction that was completed earlier?"

Samael's lips curled slightly, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

Immediately, the ancient serpent nodded in acknowledgment, Themis flicked her fingers to manipulate the golden scales on either side of the sword hilt. In an instant, the surroundings shifted and transformed, pulling the four figures into a special barrier formed by the starry sky.

"You are a wife, but more importantly, you are a father."

"Your Highness, you should know what this life inside means to Zeus."

"Previously, when Themis or I were summoned to meet Olympus under the pretext of playing chess, it was probably with the intention of accompanying her during childbirth."

"However, something unexpected happened, and we were unable to help."

Samael, with a hint of apology, as if he truly lacked the courage to go through fire and water for the goddess Metis, paused for a moment, then gazed in the direction Tina had come from, his eyes deep and dark.

"Besides, this visit isn't just about mediating on behalf of Zeus, is it?"

"We are weak, Olympus strong. Even if we wanted to show goodwill, there was no need to send you, the pregnant Queen of Gods who is about to give birth, here, was there?"

"The war between the old gods is about to end, and this is probably the only chance you'll have to go out before you move into one of your love nests."

The Goddess of Wisdom subconsciously looked up, her pupils contracting, clearly confirming the ancient serpent hypothesis.

In fact, Samael had never stopped observing the Goddess of Wisdom ever since Metis entered the room.

Although she appeared calm and collected, there was always a hint of prenatal anxiety in her eyes. Several times, when she looked at Themis, her caregiver and teacher, she seemed to want to say something but then stopped herself.

Clearly, Her Highness the Queen of Gods has something she cannot say.

Considering her previous attempt to summon herself, the Goddess of Justice, during her maternity leave, it's highly likely she also hoped to contact Themis.

And through the Goddess of Wisdom's acceptance of her fate, Samael could naturally confirm that her unspeakable secret was mostly for the child in her womb.

She is a wife, but more importantly, she is a mother.

The ancient serpent even suspected that Metis's trip to resolve the conflict between Zeus and Themis was merely a side effect.

Her true purpose was likely to secure a future for her unborn child, and Themis was the best person she could entrust with that.

But the Goddess of Wisdom ultimately hesitated.

Perhaps it was simply that Zeus was worried, or perhaps he didn't want to further escalate the conflict Themis and Olympus, causing Themis to suffer Zeus's wrath for protecting the child.

In contrast, Samael trusted his successor more, and his gaze softened accordingly.

The Goddess of Wisdom gave a deep look at the opposite side, clapped her hands, and threw away the broken cup in her palm due to the loss of control of her strength.

"Little guy, I have to admit, you're even better than I imagined. So, how do you want to trade?"

Wavering implies a flaw, which can be discussed.

"Of course, it's about making things convenient for others, and making things convenient for yourself."

The ancient snake's lips curled up, revealing its dagger as it unfurled its image.

"Themis and I will take care of the child in your womb, and you need to eliminate the hostility of Olympus."
