Chapter 25: Gift of Fate (Additional updates, please give me a monthly ticket)
"I'm very happy with the creation of humanity, so I want to reward you. Is there anything you would like?"
When Prometheus heard this, his first reaction was that Taren really knew everything, and his second reaction was that the name of that kind of life was human.
It wasn't until the end that he realized that Taren was actually going to give him a gift. This immediately made him feel extremely excited, but he still spoke very restrainedly:
"Your Majesty, I simply wish to please you, not to ask for any reward. It is an honor for Prometheus to make you happy."
"Also, I've always felt that the world is too vast. Humanity's vision has existed for a long time. It's because of you that I have the courage to seek out the God King and give it a try."
"So, in that sense, I should be the one thanking you."
Prometheus was indeed a very intelligent god, and his words were flawless. Who could imagine that he was just a child who was only a hundred years old?
Tarun also had a better impression of such a self-aware and visionary person, and said with a smile: "Your wisdom is worthy of the gift of fate."
"I will grant you more prophetic authority, and you will become even more omniscient and omnipotent."
The prophet is originally inferior to fate. Taren only needs to give Prometheus a little bit of the origin of fate to greatly enhance his prophetic ability.
Just like the birth of the three goddesses of fate, all they need is a little blessing.
Prometheus' eyes lit up instantly. He could clearly feel a magical power merging into his body, and the prophecies that were originally a little vague became clearer.
Prometheus was suddenly extremely excited, and he warmly and sincerely thanked Taren for his generosity.
Tarun waited for him to finish thanking him, but his tone suddenly changed: "But I must remind you that being a prophet is not always a good thing. Don't be arrogant just because you are a prophet. Think twice before you act."
Although Prometheus didn't know why Taren said that, he nodded seriously, indicating that he had taken the advice to heart.
Tarun nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Go back. Your parents are looking for you. We will meet again soon."
Although Prometheus wanted to stay in touch for a while longer, after hearing what Taron said, he politely chose to leave.
He hurried back home and found that his father and mother goddess were indeed looking for him. It turned out that not long ago, the queen of gods Rhea gave birth to a daughter.
Rhea was extremely happy about the birth of her first child in hundreds of years. She followed Oceanus's example and held a celebratory banquet, inviting all the gods.
After all, it was an invitation from the Queen of Gods, and they had to give face to the King of Gods. To show respect, the twelve Titans basically had to participate, and a third-generation god like Prometheus could not be absent.
After finding Prometheus, they quickly went to the sacred mountain together.
And the reason why Tarun said they would meet again soon was because Rhea had invited him as well.
Tarun had not originally planned to go, as he knew exactly who the child born this time was.
Hestia, goddess of the hearth and home, symbolizes eternal sacred fire and family warmth.
Compared to the goddess of wisdom Metis, Hestia's fate is not as rough.
As the eldest sister of Zeus, she voluntarily gave up her position as the main god and became the only hermit among the gods who did not participate in the power struggle. She also rejected the courtship of other gods and vowed to remain chaste forever.
Tarun was not very interested in such a god with a smooth fate.
But because he gave Prometheus a gift and consumed some of his essence, Tarun decided to go there after all, but not to see Hestia.
He planned to find a way to remind Kronos of the existence of the prophecy, thereby promoting the development of destiny, so as to increase his divine power and quickly make up for the losses.
At the same time, on the sacred mountain, the king of gods Kronos deeply experienced what it meant to be overjoyed and then be sad.
He gained more recognition from the world and more power because he created the golden humans. However, when he returned to the sacred mountain, he found that Rhea had given birth to their child.
She was a very lovely girl, enveloped in a holy light, and her appearance was even more beautiful and delicate.
Rhea loved the girl very much, and the other gods who came to congratulate her also praised and blessed her.
Kronos listened to their praise of Hestia, saying that she would be smart and brave in the future, and he felt a tightness in his chest, with unspeakable emotions suppressed in his heart.
He could only comfort himself that fortunately this was a goddess who had no right of inheritance and could not pose a threat to his position as a god.
Thinking of this, he felt better and was able to force a smile to face the gods.
But what he never expected was that Rhea actually invited Tarun, and Tarun actually came in person!
Seeing the familiar white figure appear in the temple, Kronos felt something explode in his brain, and unspeakable fear spread in his heart.
Taren, the god of fate, actually came in person to congratulate Hestia on her birth. Is there something special about this girl?
Kronos couldn't help but let his thoughts run wild, and even forgot that Tarun had also gone to congratulate the birth of the goddess of wisdom Metis not long ago.
There was only one thought left in his mind, that is, Hestia must be very outstanding in the future, otherwise Taren, the god of fate, would not come in person.
Even though Hestia is such an outstanding goddess and has no inheritance rights, she may still become a good helper to the rebellious son who dares to overthrow his divine authority in the future.
Just like Gaia once was.
He knew clearly that without Gaia's help, it would be impossible for the twelve Titans to overthrow Uranus' brutal rule. They were still far away.
Because of the fear buried deep in his heart, Kronos had no way of controlling himself from thinking too much. He looked at the white figure that was slowly walking towards him, and felt that his guess was very likely.
It must be like this, otherwise Taren would not come here in person. It has been hundreds of years, and he has hardly left that empty space!
"No, I must do something. I can't just watch these traitors grow up and challenge my divine authority."
Kronos said this in his heart, and he suddenly calmed down. At this moment, those unknown fears became his firm strength.
On the other side, Tarun, who had just entered the temple, felt the divine power suddenly surging in his body, and his expression became very strange.
In just a moment, the loss he suffered from the previous gift disappeared, and even his strength increased. He had achieved the purpose of going out.
But the problem is...
He obviously hasn't done anything yet
