Chapter 34 God King Hegemony
Following the numerous conflicts between the Ocean Sea and the Far Sea, friction soon arose between some other gods as well.
The Chaos world, which originally coexisted and developed harmoniously, began to fall into chaos because of these changes.
As to why this happened, the gods might have been confused at first, but later almost all of them knew the answer.
The king of gods, Kronos, did not even conceal his actions. He would threaten and induce gods with similar duties to fight for power, and at the same time secretly fan the flames, causing the conflicts between the gods to become increasingly irreconcilable.
The more chaotic the world is, the fewer people can resist him. Moreover, he already possesses the power of the King of Gods. Even if the gods are dissatisfied, they can only accept it.
Kronos finally became the great god-king he had imagined, who had absolute control over the entire world.
After a thousand years of forbearance, he finally got his revenge. He couldn't wait to let everyone see his majesty as a God-King.
At the same time, he also maintained close contact with the three goddesses of fate, through which he predicted what would happen next and whether his plans would succeed.
And every time, the three goddesses of fate gave the correct answer, and everything they said happened, which made Kronos trust their abilities more and more.
He would even use these goddesses to monitor Taren's every move. He would always be wary of Taren. Kronos would only feel at ease if he knew that Taren was staying quietly in the void.
At the same time, he was also thinking about whether there was any way to frame Taren and imprison him forever in the abyss Tartarus.
If Taren was just an ordinary god that not many people knew about, as the King of Gods he could certainly deal with him at will.
But Taren is well known to the Twelve Titans, and seems to have a good relationship with Gaia, the Mother Earth. In this case, if you want to deal with Taren, you have to be cautious and worry about any negative impact.
Of course, this is also related to Kronos' cautious character. If it were Uranus, the king of gods, he would not care about these trivial matters. Making him unhappy is the biggest crime, and he would deal with it on the spot.
But Kronos didn't think there was anything wrong with being cautious. You know, Uranus was defeated by his arrogance, and Kronos didn't want to follow in his footsteps.
We still have to take it step by step. I still have plenty of time. I hope he will be sensible.
Thinking so, Kronos ignored Tarun for the time being. Of course, the premise was that he had to stay in the void honestly.
What Kronos didn't know was that according to the prophecy of the three goddesses of fate, Taron, who had stayed in the void for decades and never left, was now standing outside the island of Crete.
Next to him stood Nyx, wrapped in the star-studded night.
"Is this the child I need to cover up with eternal night?"
Nyx's face was still hidden in the black veil formed by the endless night, and her specific appearance could not be seen clearly, and her voice was as emotionless as always.
"Yes." Tarun nodded and said, "If we want to completely hide his tracks, only you can do it."
"Okay," Nyx said calmly, "but why should I help you?"
"You're not helping me, you're helping Gaia." Tarun smiled and said casually, "If you want a reward, you should ask her."
This is the truth.
Gaia could only protect Rhea so that she could give birth to Zeus secretly without being discovered by Cronus, and used a stone to turn into the appearance of Zeus to deceive Cronus.
But as the child grows up, with his powerful divine power, Kronos will discover it sooner or later.
Only Nyx, who controls the power of eternal night, can hide the traces of this child, but Gaia does not have a close relationship with this primordial god who was born at the same time as herself, and they have not seen each other for thousands of years.
So she went to Tarun for help.
In Gaia's view, Taren is the god of destiny. He must know that this curse will be fulfilled and will even help promote it. Moreover, after their previous interactions and cooperation, their relationship is pretty good.
In addition, since he and Nyx gave birth to the three goddesses of fate together, he thought that he and Nyx should be quite close, so he asked Tarun for help to invite Nyx.
Tarun was indeed able to find Nyx in the Land of Eternal Night through the connection between the three goddesses of fate and his parents, but the relationship between him and Nyx was not yet enough to ask for each other's help.
So he decisively put the blame back on Gaia. Nyx looked at him deeply and said nothing.
But she still raised her hand, and endless darkness enveloped the edge of Crete, obscuring everything there.
After doing all this, Nyx looked at the innocent Tarun again and said calmly: "This won't happen again."
After saying that, he turned and left, quickly disappearing into the darkness at the end of the world.
Tarun didn't know what the other party meant by that deep look and the words "it won't happen again", but it was okay as long as he didn't ask him for any reward.
Just as he thought, Nyx would provide help even for Gaia's sake, he just needed to bring the person here.
And now, he is ready to ask Mother Earth for two rewards.
Gaia was very surprised by Talen's visit and immediately asked worriedly, "Did something happen to Zeus' child?"
"No, not at all." Tarun shook his head and said with a smile, "I have asked His Highness Nyx to cover up his tracks. No one will discover his whereabouts, not even the God King."
Hearing this, Gaia finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was certain that Zeus was the cursed child, not only because he was born powerful, but also because of Tarun's obviously unusual attention.
But before she could completely relax, she heard Tarun change the subject and suddenly sigh.
"It's just that I put a lot of effort into asking His Highness Nyx to help. I shouldn't bring this up, but His Highness Nyx seems..."
He paused deliberately, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Gaia immediately understood and a smile appeared on her face: "Your Highness Nyx, do you need anything?"
"Speaking of which, this is our business. Thank you and His Highness Nyx for your help. I don't know how to thank you."
"It's nothing." Tarun also smiled, a smile that was sincere. "I just hope that if I need help with anything in the future, Your Highness, the Respected Mother Earth, will lend a hand."
"Of course," Gaia said seriously, "but this can't be considered a thank you."
"How about this? When the child grows up, I will tell him everything truthfully and ask him to agree to your two requests as a token of my gratitude for your and His Highness Nyx's help."
Taren showed a surprised look: "This is not good."
"This is what the child should do," Gaia said. "I'll make the decision for him."
Taren sighed helplessly, no longer refusing, and said with a smile:
"Thank you for your generosity."
