Chapter 36 Zeus hits a wall
Under the cover of endless night, on the island of Crete.
A young god was playing with a golden goat. The goat was extremely beautiful, except that it was missing a horn.
He was a young boy who still looked a little immature, but his body was already extremely majestic and his appearance was even more handsome. He had brilliant golden hair, a pair of sacred pure golden eyes, and his face was always filled with a cheerful smile, full of vitality.
This is why Rhea chose to give birth to Zeus secretly here in order to avoid the newborn being swallowed by Cronus.
Zeus was now several hundred years old, a very young age for a god with eternal life, but Zeus was born powerful.
He could fly freely as soon as he left the cradle, and even accidentally broke a goat's horn while playing.
The she-goat Amalthea is a true god, created by Gaia, the Earth Goddess. Her body is extremely strong, as hard as the earth, and her horns are indestructible.
But even so, Zeus accidentally broke her horn, and at that time Zeus was not even a hundred years old.
Moreover, the broken horn could not be restored. All these proved the power of Zeus. His strength was beyond doubt.
However, the most rare thing is that he is not only powerful, but also good at thinking. He always has various ideas and his own opinions.
Zeus, who was playing, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the distant sky.
Almost at the same time as he made a move, a goddess slowly came from the sky.
It was the Queen of Gods, the goddess of time, Rhea, who had secretly come down from the sacred mountain to visit her only remaining child.
Zeus is her only hope.
When Zeus saw Rhea, he immediately showed a joyful expression. He immediately went up to her and called out affectionately, "Mother Goddess!"
Rhea's eyes were filled with concern and longing. The beautiful goddess couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Zeus' cheek. Her voice was trembling with excitement:
"Zeus, my child, you have grown so big."
In order to avoid being noticed by Kronos, Rhea did not dare to visit her only surviving child often, and her longing for him was suppressed for too long.
Zeus also missed the Mother Goddess. He gently held Rhea's hand, with a bright smile on his face: "Dear Mother Goddess, don't worry, I'm fine."
The two of them supported each other and snuggled up to each other as they returned to the secret cave. Curetus and the fairies kept watch for the mother and son who rarely met.
Rhea looked at the young man in front of her with tenderness in her eyes, but soon, endless worry and sadness surged into her heart, adding a bit of sadness to her flawless face.
She was thinking about the child's future.
As the only hope of the gods, this child carries too much on his shoulders. He cannot hide on this small island forever. His future is destined to be extraordinary, even dangerous.
As a kind mother who truly loves her children, Rhea couldn't help but worry and feel sad when she thought about what Zeus would face in the future.
Zeus knew what Rhea was thinking just by looking at her expression and demeanor. He softly said to her, "Mother Goddess, don't worry. All this is arranged by fate."
"I know very well that this is my mission and I am willing to work hard for it."
"Good boy, my good boy..." Rhea looked at the grown-up Zeus in front of her, tears streaming down her beautiful eyes: "I've suffered so much for you."
"I don't find it hard." Zeus said seriously, "And Mother Goddess, I think I'm ready."
Rhea was stunned when she heard this, and her beautiful eyes stared blankly at Zeus in front of her: "But you were only born a few hundred years ago, you're still just a child..."
"I can't hide forever. The longer I hide, the greater the chance of being discovered."
Zeus spoke seriously, his handsome face very calm: "I now have full control over my divine authority and can ensure that I will not be discovered when walking on the earth."
"Maybe we can make some preparations in advance."
Rhea breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was something to prepare in advance instead of just taking action right away.
As the queen of gods who accompanies the king of gods Kronos day and night, Rhea may be the person in the world who knows best how powerful Kronos is now.
Although Zeus was a born powerful god, he was still far inferior to Kronos.
It was also because she was clear about the gap between the two that Rhea felt relieved that Zeus was so clear-headed and wanted to make preparations first instead of blindly confronting.
She quickly calmed down. As the daughter of the God King Uranus and the Earth Goddess Gaia, she had even personally participated in the plan to fight against Uranus.
As one of the twelve Titans who changed the Titans from weak and cowardly to the powerful and great Titans they are today, Rhea is not the kind of weak goddess who only knows how to cry.
Once she makes up her mind, she will not hesitate at all.
"What are you going to do?" Rhea asked.
Zeus had learned about the current world situation from the fairies who had cared for him over the past few hundred years. He thought for a moment and said, "To defeat the God King, strength alone is not enough."
"More importantly, it depends on wisdom."
"What do you think?"
"Perhaps I should find some allies," Zeus said. "I heard that deep in the ocean there is a goddess who symbolizes wisdom. I can go and ask her opinion."
Rhea soon knew who Zeus was talking about. After all, when Metis was born, Oceanus invited the gods to celebrate, and the reputation of the goddess of wisdom was widely spread among the gods.
Rhea felt that there was nothing wrong with Zeus' idea. When one's strength was not as good as others, relying on wisdom to win was also a way.
But after thinking about it, she said, "You can ask His Highness Taren what he thinks first."
"His Highness Taren's insights are still very useful." Rhea said so. Like Gaia, her trust in Taren reached a blind point.
They feel that Taren is the spokesperson for destiny, and everything Taren says is what will definitely happen in the future, so they can ask his opinion on anything.
But Zeus could not deny this.
He had never met Tarun, but he intuitively felt that relying too much on others was not a good thing. He didn't want to get in touch with them too early, and would subconsciously be wary of a special existence like Tarun.
So he said, "I want to try it myself first."
Although Rhea didn't agree, she didn't say anything. She said, "You can try it first."
She was undoubtedly a very competent mother who would encourage all her children's ideas. With her encouragement, Zeus left Crete and the first thing he did was to go to the ocean current to find Metis, the goddess of wisdom.
But he failed.
He didn't know why, but the first reaction of all the ocean gods when they saw him was to flee.
Not to mention getting information, he can't even be contacted.
In this situation, he could not find Metis, the goddess of wisdom, at all.
He didn't know why this happened, but he understood one fact.
That is, he could not find Metis, the goddess of wisdom, by himself
