Hera was the embodiment of the feminine aspect of reproduction and fertility in worldly existence—Zeus's attraction to her was naturally the strongest.
Moreover, if Zeus were to become the great father god in the future, the most suitable one to stay by his side would be Hera, this great mother goddess among great mother goddesses who represented all reproduction and procreation!
But now, benevolent Hera only felt like she had become a clown.
Her good girlfriend had just suddenly stolen away the Zeus she deeply loved!
Even with Hera's gentle and merciful character, she was now extremely angry. Her inherently proud nature made her immediately leave the scene.
Zeus wasn't thinking that much at the moment.
In his view, women—including goddesses—were all the same. They'd be angry for a while, then it would pass. Small problem.
The immortal delicacies in the temple always had to be tasted slowly, bite by bite—no need to rush.
No panic, not a big problem.
On the contrary, he even felt this wasn't a bad thing.
Metis's "getting there first" would actually stimulate the competitive spirit in many goddesses' hearts, making them feel stronger urgency and crisis.
Peaceful times couldn't win goddesses—stirring their emotions and initiative was the way to go.
How could he rely entirely on launching his own offensives? It was time to give the goddesses some sense of crisis.
Especially Hera, this proud and chaste great mother goddess—if he didn't properly temper her character, the future days would probably be just like the original.
Goddesses were all proud.
So they must be thoroughly disciplined!
This was just the beginning!
After the feast dispersed, the gods temporarily rested to recover divine power and spirit.
Having achieved all his purposes, Zeus wasted no time and prepared to visit the sacred goddess of order.
He had no time to indulge in romantic affairs now.
After the great enterprise succeeded, there would be plenty of time for pleasure and enjoyment—now was not the time.
Although Metis, having just confirmed her feelings, was now filled with love and attachment for Zeus and didn't want to separate from her beloved for even a moment—
But on matters other than Zeus, her intelligence was still online. She naturally understood priorities and gently saw Zeus off.
Now only the last two Titans hadn't chosen sides—Themis and Mnemosyne.
Among these two goddesses, Themis, as the goddess of sacred order and justice, had long been unable to tolerate God King Kronos's decaying order.
If not for this, she couldn't possibly have watched Zeus lead the gods in rebellion with her own eyes, yet stubbornly bit her teeth and declared this was merely the God King's family affair, thus remaining neutral and non-interfering.
You must know that as the maintainer of order, her ability to remain neutral was already the greatest help to Zeus.
As for Mnemosyne, this goddess of memory and civilization had always been on good terms with mother goddess Rhea. She was low-key by nature, indifferent to fame and profit, and disliked conflict.
This time, having God Queen Rhea personally seek her help—even if she ultimately didn't want to directly participate in battle, as long as she remained neutral, it would be enough for Zeus.
The problem with the goddess of civilized memory wasn't big. No matter what, the possibility of her helping the God King was minimal.
Most important was still Themis.
Her authority over order was crucial.
For Zeus to establish a new cosmic order in the future and completely replace Kronos's old era, he couldn't do without her help and recognition.
Moreover, Themis's power was truly very strong, extremely strong, extremely extremely strong!
In this world, those without sufficient power could not maintain order.
Though also a Titan, in terms of combat power, Themis could defeat the combat-inexperienced Coeus couple.
Not two individuals—two couples!
Among the twelve Primordial Titans, purely in terms of combat power, she was definitely in the top three competing for first place, the undisputed number one among Titan goddesses.
Otherwise, she couldn't have scolded Iapetus with just a word, leaving him unable to speak back.
You must know, the death god who could give birth to violent Atlas and arrogant Menoetius brothers was not good-tempered.
He didn't dare speak back—wasn't this because he couldn't win and thus didn't dare speak?
Goddess Themis held scales in her left hand because she was a goddess who reasoned, pursuing justice and order.
But when facing her, it was best to only reason with her.
Otherwise, the sharp sword of justice she gripped in her right hand would make you deeply understand why everyone hoped to reason with her.
Naturally, Zeus wasn't the only one who knew the importance of the great goddess of justice.
Now, God King Kronos had also personally descended to the justice goddess's residence.
After the battle, he had done nothing—neither boosting morale nor stabilizing military spirit.
After instructing Iapetus and the others to clean up the aftermath, he came directly to find Themis.
Themis had moved away from Mount Othrys years ago.
She was truly fed up with Kronos's foul and decaying order!
Originally, as the embodiment of order, guardian of law, and defender of justice, she should have stayed beside the supreme ruler to assist and ensure cosmic order's stability.
Why must the sacred goddess of order necessarily be the sacred goddess of justice?
Because the order established by the supreme ruler should naturally represent justice, so the goddess of order was necessarily the sacred goddess of justice.
But now, even this staunch defender of ruling order could no longer tolerate the God King's order.
When order served only the ruler alone, when it was twisted and no longer just—was it still sacred order?
When order no longer represented justice, justice would naturally choose to leave.
And departed justice would seek order worthy of possessing justice!
Thus, Themis, unable to endure Kronos's decaying rule any longer, unhesitatingly left the God King and chose independence.
Perhaps from that moment, God King Kronos's end had already begun, destined for decline.
God King Kronos, descending at Themis's residence, maintained the highest respect for the sacred goddess of order, not exercising his divine kingly authority at all.
At this moment, the God King understood humility again.
He truly dared not lose the goddess of order's help now.
He didn't even go directly to the justice goddess's palace, but humbly landed at the foot of the mountain, using the God King's gentle voice with a trace of pleading to call upon the sacred goddess of justice.
"Respected sacred order, goddess of justice Themis, I, God King Kronos, son of Uranus, come to request your help."
Within the temple, the goddess of justice Themis in spotless white robes had deep weariness on her absolutely beautiful face.
She sighed deeply, the sigh filled with disappointment in the old order and helplessness about the current situation.
However, she ultimately chose to leave the palace to receive Kronos.
With her characteristic solemnity and meticulousness, she said to the God King: "Respected Your Majesty the God King, please enter the hall for detailed discussion."
