Chapter 32 The Birth of Zeus
Above the endless ocean, Pontos took a deep breath, trying to dispel the hesitation in his heart before taking action, but he subconsciously looked up at the distant sky.
In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the conversation he had with Tarun not long ago.
Today was the day they had agreed to take action. Because Pontos was really worried about the consequences, he asked Taron to testify on his behalf.
Pontos could see that Oceanus still gave Taron a lot of face. If Taron was willing to act as a middleman to mediate the conflict, proving that he had no intention of fighting and that it was all coercion from the God King, Oceanus would probably believe it.
Tarun agreed.
Only then did Pontus have the confidence to take action.
Pontus took another deep breath and raised his hands. His old face became solemn. As he moved, the entire sea surface began to boil. Something on the seabed was collapsing.
Pontus, the original sea god conceived by Gaia alone, symbolizes the barren saltwater area at the "bottom of the sea". Pontus' authority is more inclined towards the ocean itself at the geological level.
He could easily detonate the "bottom of the ocean" and cause a large amount of sea water to drain away, and that's what he was doing now.
He created a huge crack on the seabed at the edge of the ocean. In an instant, countless seawater poured back in, and a terrifying sound echoed throughout the ocean.
These seawater poured into the eternal abyss Tartarus through the cracks and disappeared in an instant. The most direct damage this brought was that the power of Oceanus, who symbolized the ocean, would decrease.
The Oceanus, the god of the sea, realized the problem almost immediately. Without any hesitation, he rushed out of his temple and headed straight for the location of the anomaly.
The other ocean gods all trembled in fear at such a terrifying movement and hid under the protection of Thesis in fear.
For a moment, the commotion in the ocean was so loud that it even attracted the curious gazes of many gods, but they did not act rashly and were still watching.
Oceanus, who came in search of the sound, soon saw Pontus taking action, and was shocked and angry for a moment.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind at once. His first reaction was that he had been deceived. Pontus's peaceful attitude over the years was all an act! His purpose was just to paralyze him!
But he soon realized that something was wrong. If Pontus had long wanted to fight for power, why did he not act until now?
The best opportunity was a thousand years ago when they had just defeated Uranus.
At that time, he had been seriously injured for a long time due to the disintegration of his body and had lost his fighting ability. If Pontus had taken action at that time, he would definitely have been seriously injured.
But Pontus did not do that. He even married his eldest daughter to the Titan as a gesture of friendship.
It was this kind of behavior that made Oceanus relax his vigilance against the primitive sea god and believe that he really did not like fighting. Over the years, the two sides have kept their distance from each other.
So why did Pontus start this dispute out of nowhere?
At this moment, the doubt in Oceanus' heart even surpassed his anger.
When Pontus saw Oceanus coming, he was also nervous. He didn't know how to explain. If he said it directly, he was afraid that it would arouse the dissatisfaction of the God King. If he didn't say it, he was afraid that Oceanus would take action directly.
He could only look into the distant void again, hoping for Taren's arrival.
What he didn't know was that at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Taren, blocking his way to the ocean.
"Your Highness Taren, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you doing well?"
Looking at the familiar white-robed figure in front of him, the God King Kronos smiled and spoke. He was still very polite, but he no longer had the fear he had when facing Taron before.
This is the confidence that the mighty power of the God King brings him. This unparalleled power makes him feel that no god in this world can be his enemy.
What he represents is the will of the world!
However, his character is destined. Even if he has great power, he will still be wary of those he should be wary of, and will find ways to suppress them, instead of being blindly arrogant like the great god-king Uranus who looked down on everyone.
From this perspective, the second-generation God King Kronos learned a lot of lessons from the first-generation God King Uranus.
"Your Majesty, I hope you are well."
Taren showed a hint of surprise at Kronos's appearance, which made the smile on Kronos' face even more obvious.
"Where are you going in such a hurry, Your Highness Taron?" Kronos asked casually, as if he just happened to meet Taron and chatted with him casually.
"There seems to be some unusual movement in the ocean. I'm going to take a look." Tarun answered truthfully.
"I've heard a little about this matter, but I think it would be better to let them solve it themselves. Your Highness Tarun, am I right?"
Tarun did not answer immediately. He frowned slightly and seemed a little hesitant.
His expression pleased Kronos even more, and his opinion of the three goddesses of fate also improved.
The primordial sea god Pontus will take action today, and Tarun will go to the ocean to mediate. These were told to him by the three goddesses of fate, so he came here early just to intercept Tarun.
Of course, he couldn't let Taren ruin his plan, so he would keep an eye on Taren here until he showed up on the other side of the ocean.
And when everything happened as the three goddesses said, Kronos felt extremely relieved.
It turns out that this mysterious Taren can also be predicted.
It's not that great.
Kronos was happy that he had finally found a way to restrain Taren, and his mood became cheerful.
Seeing that Taren seemed to have no way to deal with him, and a helpless expression on his face, Kronos felt extremely satisfied with the feeling of being in control of everything and playing with others at his will.
Especially since the other party was the God of Destiny whom he once feared so much.
Because he was too immersed in the feeling of "revenge", he did not notice that behind Taren's embarrassed expression, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Ignoring the complacent God King, Tarun silently counted down the time in his heart.
At the moment the number was reset to zero, in a cave on Mount Dictet on the island of Crete, very far away from here.
Amidst Rhea's painful groans, a loud baby cry suddenly rang out.
The cry was so loud that it could echo throughout the whole area. Almost at the moment when the baby was born, a thick bolt of lightning streaked across the sky of this world, followed by a huge thunder.
Covered by lightning and thunder, the baby's cry seemed inconspicuous, and no one knew of his birth except a few people.
At this moment, the God King Kronos was still confronting Taron in the distant sky, immersed in the pride of his power, and had no idea of all this.
Tired Rhea looked at the baby in her arms and couldn't help shedding tears of joy. She named the baby -
Zeus.
