Therefore, Zeus must make all the gods, regardless of strength, firmly believe that he was a completely new God King worthy of trust, support, and loyalty!
A God King completely different from Kronos!
A God King who could bring righteous order, sacred honor, and bright hope!
Besides the three mother goddesses, Ocean God Oceanus was the first to support him and the most steadfast in his support.
If he could abandon his own loyal followers to win over enemies now, who would dare to follow Zeus?
Abandon Metis today—who would be next tomorrow?
What difference would there be between Zeus and God King Kronos then?
The Ocean God couple would probably be the first to turn against him.
When people's hearts scattered, the team would be hard to lead.
For many future schemes, that would have tremendously negative impact.
No matter how you put it, Zeus could never make such an extremely foolish choice.
Moreover, the great thunder wasn't something that could just be taken. Who would dare pledge their life's loyalty to a god similar to Kronos?
Why would the three Cyclops willingly entrust their most core origin laws to him?
Kronos's cautionary example was right before their eyes.
It seemed like trading small for big, but too much would actually be lost.
What would be lost were hearts, trust, and the future.
One small mistake could even lead to complete disaster!
How wonderful things were now—a more stable reliable divine image, more determined team cohesion, and successfully making the goddess of wisdom completely devoted.
When the time was ripe in the future, he would seize the intellect gods' authority and give it to Metis, helping her achieve supreme wisdom.
What Metis possessed was equivalent to what Zeus possessed, right?
No matter how you calculated this account, it was the most profitable.
Simply winning big time!
When Zeus and Metis returned hand in hand with interlocked fingers to the noisy temple feast openly and honestly, in an instant, all the gods' gazes focused entirely on Zeus and Metis.
As the absolute core of the Olympian camp, Zeus's quiet departure from the banquet with Metis couldn't possibly escape the gods' notice.
Every move of the God King was naturally the focal point of the gods' attention.
The gods' gazes always paid attention to his every action.
As a result, after they went out for a while and came back, they were actually holding hands so intimately!
Actions spoke louder than any proclamation!
In an instant, the banquet hall that had been full of cheerful laughter and toasts suddenly became silent as the grave.
All sounds seemed cut off by an invisible hand, leaving only the gods' stunned, shocked, and varied gazes.
However, the silence lasted only a moment.
Immediately after, the Ocean gods burst into even more excited and joyful cheers, the atmosphere instantly becoming more enthusiastic than before.
They were genuinely happy that Metis had found happiness, and also felt honored by Zeus's marriage alliance with their family.
Styx and Pallas quickly exchanged a knowing glance, their eyes full of joy.
They immediately stepped forward—one went to take sister Metis's hand and lead her toward the sisters' gathering, while the other respectfully and warmly invited Zeus to continue the joyful banquet.
From now on, the Ocean system would never worry again!
All the Ocean system deities were beaming with joy, immersed in incomparable happiness.
The Ocean's joyful clamor instantly drowned out the previous silence.
Well, not entirely—there was still one goddess in the Ocean system whose smile was quite forced.
This unnamed goddess Eurynome was now finding it truly difficult to smile. Even the divine wine nectar in her mouth, originally sweet as honey, now turned bitter on her tongue.
She was so envious she wanted to cry!
But at least Eurynome could still manage a forced smile.
Within the hall, there were some goddesses who absolutely could not smile.
When Hestia saw Zeus return, her originally bright and cheerful smile suddenly turned cold when she saw Zeus's generous hand naturally and intimately wrapped around Metis's small, tender hand—like a dying hearth fire, it quickly became a cold and distant ceremonial smile. She silently looked away and quietly retreated to one side.
Demeter's gentle and bright smile also instantly disappeared, her delicate face deeply shrouded in gloom.
She said nothing, just suddenly grabbed her wine cup and gulped the divine wine down her throat, trying to drown the depression in her heart.
She wouldn't even look toward Zeus, her eyes carrying indescribable loss and sadness.
Clear liquid slid down her graceful chin like tears, but she paid no attention.
This most gentle, bright, and romantic young mother goddess had too tender a nature—she wouldn't explode like a storm, but would only harbor this strong sullenness secretly in her heart, bearing it alone.
As for the absolutely beautiful goddess Hera, her slender jade fingers actually crushed the golden cup in her hand into gold powder in an instant, golden dust mixed with sweet divine wine trickling through her fingers.
Her face that could make sun and moon pale instantly became cold as frost. Her once gentle and beautiful eyes now became sharp and cold, as if they could kill someone directly with a glance, their majesty and coldness even resembling a God King's.
She now felt even breathing had become extremely difficult, with waves of dizziness and darkness in the depths of her divinity.
Proudly enduring the tearing heartache, she forced herself to stay alert, saying nothing, just suddenly turning around and leaving the banquet scene.
You must know that all of Hera's attention had been secretly and obsessively fixed on Zeus before.
When Zeus and Metis quietly left, she couldn't see their whereabouts for a moment and was already restlessly thinking about Zeus, her heart full of sweetness and anticipation—she was nearly mad with infatuation.
As a result, Zeus's return dealt her a head-on blow, letting her experience thunder's bombardment early.
However sweet her heart had been before, that's how painful it was now.
God Queen Rhea took in everything before her eyes, only sighing softly in her heart, the sigh carrying helplessness and understanding.
She reflected: It seemed that being too popular as a god was also not a good thing.
Zeus's essence was the condensation of sky, division, harvest, courage, hope, future, and heaven's vast power laws.
He was naturally born to be a high and mighty person of courage, a supreme ruler.
He was the ultimate embodiment of paternal masculine power, the highest manifestation of masculine laws in the universe.
He naturally had extremely fatal attraction to all other laws, especially the great mother goddess laws that symbolized life and reproduction.
Moreover, Zeus himself was so powerful and handsome. He was optimistic and confident, majestic yet understanding of humility and love.
In several campaigns, he was always the one at the most dangerous front lines, charging into battle and resisting powerful enemies; during retreats, he was also always the one personally covering the rear, using his single divine power to resist the most terrible enemies.
The terrible God King's powerful strength made almost all gods despair.
It was precisely because of Zeus's existence that the gods could firmly believe victory was possible!
