Chapter 29 Provoking Trouble
For the God King Cronus, there are only zero and countless times to eat his own children.
After all, doing so can both fight the curse and enhance strength.
Anyway, as long as the child is not born, he will have no descendants, so there is naturally no possibility of being overthrown by his own children.
And those new laws that were born with the birth of the child can also be used by him after being swallowed by him, making him even more powerful.
It's like killing two birds with one stone.
So since he discovered this method, he no longer resisted getting close to Rhea. If a new god was born, he would eat it on the spot.
But the pain of losing her children one after another almost made Rhea collapse.
After learning the content of the curse from Gaia, Rhea finally understood everything. She was completely disappointed with Kronos and felt that he had become a cruel guy like Uranus, the king of gods.
At the same time, she wanted more and more to protect the new life in her belly. Under Gaia's guidance, she came to the endless void alone.
But she was a little nervous.
Her impression of Tarun still remained at the moment when he stepped forward to interrupt Uranus' curse. She felt that this ancient god was too mysterious and she did not dare to know too much about him. She always felt that he was very dangerous and needed to be treated with caution.
When Hestia was born, she invited Taron purely out of respect and never expected that he would actually attend the party.
Thinking about it now, perhaps His Highness Taren had realized something at that time, which was why he left the void that he had not left for hundreds of years and came to visit her and Hestia in person.
"It's a pity that I was too stupid at the time and didn't notice the abnormality hidden in it."
Thinking so, Rhea sighed deeply, looked at the vast empty space in front of her, and finally made up her mind and stepped in.
At this moment, Tarun was not at all surprised by Rhea's arrival, because he had been waiting for a long time.
"Respected Queen of Gods, merciful Goddess of Time, you don't look too well." Tarun's tone was filled with obvious concern, and his expression was as gentle as ever.
This slowly relaxed Rhea's nervous mood. She nodded and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness Tarun, please forgive my intrusion. I would like to ask for your help."
At this moment, Rhea was wearing a black veil, with a solemn and sad expression, no longer the girl she had before.
"It's my honor to help you." Tarun said, "Your Highness, Rhea, how would you like me to help you?"
"I want to protect my poor child. I want the curse of the sky god Uranus to come true. I want to end this painful life."
As Rhea spoke, she became a little excited. She looked at Tarun with eyes full of hope, as if she had grasped the last straw. "Your Highness Tarun, you must have a way, right?"
Tarun sighed softly, and looked at Rhea with a bit more pity in his eyes: "Your Highness Rhea, I am very sad about your experience."
"But please rest assured, fate will put everything back on track. Don't be sad. What you lost will always come back, and those who were separated will be reunited again."
"You mean..." Rhea's eyes gradually lit up: "I can see my poor children again?"
Tarun didn't answer the question, but just smiled with relief. He looked at Rhea's lower abdomen, which she was unconsciously protecting even at this moment, and said softly:
"Because of your kindness and goodness, you will keep this child, and he will become the hope of everything."
When Rhea heard this, her frown finally relaxed, and her joy was beyond words. She asked anxiously, "Your Highness Tarun, what should I do?"
"How can I keep this baby?"
"The benevolent Earth Mother, who holds the divine power of fertility, will help you. Even the God King, under the influence of the Earth Mother, will still be unable to distinguish the specific nature of the newly born life. You can completely use this method to deceive the God King."
"So don't worry, you will keep the child. The Divine King's focus is not on you right now, so all you have to do now is wait patiently."
These words were so confusing that Rhea was completely bewildered: "Wait? What do I need to wait for?"
"The time is not yet ripe." Tarun smiled and said softly, "You have to wait until everything is ready."
"As for when that day will come, someone will tell you. If you're still unsure by then, you can come and ask me again, and I will give you a definite answer."
"Everything that's happening now is inevitable. You just need to follow your heart. Kind Goddess of Time, when you decide to resist tyranny and injustice, fate is on your side."
Rhea's eyes were slightly red, and the man's gentle words calmed her always panicked heart completely, as if she suddenly saw the dawn in an environment full of fog and lost direction.
Rhea finally stopped hesitating and feeling uneasy. She nodded vigorously and expressed her sincere gratitude to Tarun seriously.
Tarun always looked at her gently. Although he looked so young, he gave people the feeling of a kind elder. Although in terms of age, he could indeed be considered an elder.
After sending Rhea away, Tarun did not fall into a deep sleep as usual, but continued to wait patiently.
At the time he had foreseen, he waited for his guest, a strange god whom he had never seen before.
Judging from his appearance, the visitor looked a little old, with gray hair, many wrinkles on his face, and his dark eyes were a little cloudy.
Tarun learned the other party's identity from the hint of fate, the original sea god, Pontus.
This is the child that Gaia conceived alone after giving birth to the god-king Uranus. He is Uranus's younger brother and the uncle of the twelve Titans.
When the twelve Titans were fighting against Uranus, Pontus chose to ignore Uranus's call for help, which led to Uranus losing his last chance and being completely killed.
This is undoubtedly a very ancient god, but he is usually too low-key and almost never leaves the open sea, so many people don't know what he looks like.
Especially as the power of Oceanus grew stronger, fewer and fewer people mentioned this original sea god.
Pontos actually didn't dislike this kind of life. He didn't like fighting for power, nor did he think there was anything wrong with his juniors seizing his sea authority. He just enjoyed being relaxed and comfortable.
In order to express his closeness, he even married his eldest daughter to Oceanus, which is enough to show the peace of mind of this primitive sea god.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with Oceanus being too strong, but some people couldn't tolerate it.
That person was none other than the current God King, Kronos, who had gained full recognition from the world.
With the power, he began to prepare to settle accounts, and the first person he wanted to settle accounts with was Oceanus, the most glorious ocean god in the past thousand years.
