Chapter 38 Can't Get Away With Him
Zeus never imagined that he had already owed a debt at the beginning of his birth, and the creditor was the mysterious god of fate, Taron, whom he didn't want to contact at all.
For a moment, he couldn't even maintain the cheerful and sunny smile on his face, but he quickly collected himself and nodded seriously to show that he understood.
Of course he had to agree, because it was Gaia who made the decision personally. If he disagreed, he would be disrespecting the Mother Goddess of the Earth.
At this time when he desperately needed support from others, Zeus didn't dare to offend this important person easily, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.
And the moment he agreed, the power of the oath contract emerged, which meant that the "debt" was signed and sealed.
However, this made him even less willing to look for Tarun. That is, he felt that he was dangerous, but he also didn't want to face his creditors.
Then, Zeus said to Gaia in a sincere tone: "Now is not the time to go see His Highness Taron. After all, I am still too weak and need to prepare. I can't disturb you with some trivial matters."
"I'll ask His Highness Taren when we're really ready to take action."
Gaia thought about it and agreed with this, so she asked, "Then how do you plan to find Metis?"
"Go look in the ocean again," Zeus said, "you'll always find it."
Gaia nodded in agreement.
In her opinion, these were all trivial matters that Zeus could handle himself. Gaia, the mother of the earth, would not show up before she actually confronted Kronos.
The fact that a male god from land had come into the ocean current was quickly noticed by Prometheus, the god of prophecy and foresight, who happened to be returning to the ocean current. He directly told Taron the news.
Prometheus has been following Taron for many years, and with his enhanced prophetic ability, he knows a few things.
This made him a little confused at the moment: "Queen of Gods Rhea and Mother Earth Gaia should have advised him to come to you, Your Highness, but he still chose to go look for you on his own."
"The ocean currents are so vast that it would probably take him more than ten years to search them all."
Finally, Prometheus concluded cautiously: "He doesn't seem to want to see you."
Prometheus was a very smart and perceptive god, a prophet. Combined with what Talon had asked him to tell Oceanus last time, telling all the Ocean gods to be careful of the male gods coming from land, Prometheus guessed that Talon's purpose was to make Zeus run into trouble.
The purpose of Taron making Zeus hit a wall was probably to make him come looking for himself.
Prometheus felt that it was understandable that Taron wanted to meet Zeus, and only by meeting him could he give some warnings and prophecies about the future and help Zeus bring about that new era as soon as possible.
But it is hard to understand why Zeus doesn't want to see Talon. Although Prometheus has some guesses in his mind, he is not sure.
Tarun, on the other hand, chuckled softly upon hearing this: "It's normal for him not to want to see me. Young children are always wary and cautious."
As he spoke, Taren's face showed some emotion: "This child is really different from his father and his father's father."
In Taron's memory, there were three generations of gods. The third and final generation of gods, Zeus, was said to be an omniscient and omnipotent being, and later almost became the pinnacle of Greek mythology.

He is neither as ferocious and brutal as Uranus, nor as incompetent as Kronos. Zeus has brains and means, and also possesses powerful strength. He can even be regarded as an omnipotent god.
Even though he is only a few hundred years old now, and can even be considered a child among gods, he already knows how to avoid danger in advance, and did not come blindly to ask for prophecies about himself. He is completely different from the previous two gods.
Therefore, to deal with this person, Taren has to adopt methods that he has not used to deal with the previous two generations of God Kings.
"He'll come see me," Tarun said with a smile. "In the near future."
Prometheus didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and even felt that it should be so. After all, how could His Highness Taren not see the person he wanted to see?
…
Zeus wandered in the ocean currents for more than ten years but found no clues about Metis.
In the meantime, he found ways to get close to some ocean goddesses, and relied on his sunny and handsome appearance, as well as sweet words, to coax some information out of them.
After learning that it was the Oceanus who personally ordered all Oceanids to be wary of male gods from land, Zeus, although not knowing why, knew clearly that he could not find Metis on his own.
There are too few gods he can contact at the moment, and because of his identity, he cannot be too ostentatious, and there are even fewer people who can help him.
Apart from Rhea, the Queen of Gods, and Gaia, the Earth Mother, there were almost no gods who could help him.
But the suggestions given by these two were surprisingly consistent, which was to let Zeus visit Taron.
Zeus was somewhat unwilling and even tried to ask Rhea to help him ask other gods, of course, to ask why Oceanus gave such a strange order.
Rhea did not get an answer, and Oceanus did not dare to tell others that it was Taron's suggestion, otherwise he would be discovered to be involved.
Rhea had no success, so Zeus quietly hid his identity and asked some gods questions. However, any experienced god who heard questions he couldn't answer would only say one thing:
——Maybe you can ask His Highness Taren.
Zeus felt that he was surrounded by Taron. This was an obstacle that he could not get around. If he wanted to implement all his plans, it seemed that he had to meet Taron first.
This feeling made him helpless, and at the same time he felt that Taren's ability was too strong, and all the ancient gods would pay attention to his opinions.
This made Zeus realize a problem. If he could not pull Taron to his side, it was very likely that those great gods would be affected and would be more cautious when choosing sides.
The young gods did not know about Taron and were not influenced by him, but it was always the ancient gods that Zeus needed to fight for.
Zeus even suspected that if he offended Taron, the support of the great gods he had worked so hard to gain might turn against him because of a word from Taron.
"This is really a trouble that cannot be avoided." Zeus sighed, realizing the seriousness of the problem.
Zeus was never a hesitant god. Realizing the root of the matter, he stopped hesitating and immediately adjusted his plan.
He even postponed his goal of finding Metis, the goddess of wisdom. The most important thing for him now was—
Visit the God of Destiny and find a way to gain his favor.
