Chapter 39 A pile of debts
"His Highness Tarun hasn't seen any other gods in a long time. There were gods who wanted to visit him before and ask for instructions on fate, but they didn't see him."
After Zeus left the void with nothing, he realized that the so-called God of Destiny was not someone he could see whenever he wanted.
It's funny that he didn't want to see it before.
However, he also received a piece of good news, that is, the God King Kronos seemed to be quite wary of Taren, and the relationship between the two sides was not harmonious.
This made Zeus feel that there should be a chance to win over Taron.
But the prerequisite for winning over someone is that you have to meet the person in person.
Under the guidance of Rhea, the queen of gods, Zeus went to see Prometheus, the god of prophecy and foresight.
Because it is said that in the past few hundred years, only this god of prophecy and foresight can still see Taren, which even makes many great gods feel that some of Prometheus's ideas can represent Taren's ideas to some extent.
This greatly improved Prometheus' status among the gods, and the weight of his prophecies increased sharply.
Even in the eyes of the great gods, a third-generation god like Prometheus, who is not very powerful, can only be regarded as a servant or subordinate of Taren at best.
But this is enough. As long as it is related to fate, they cannot ignore it.
After Rhea's explanation, Zeus understood the situation, but he still hesitated for a long time before deciding whether to visit Prometheus.
Because the other party's father is Iapetus, a Titan god who is very supportive of the god-king Cronus.
If Prometheus was also one of those who supported the God King Kronos, then if he went to find him now, he would be walking into a trap.
But he finally chose to go because he had no other choice but to take a gamble.
What he didn't expect was that when Prometheus saw him for the first time, he said, "Son of the God King, you are finally here."
Zeus was startled. It seemed that the other party had known that he would come to visit, and even knew of his existence.
And the king of gods Kronos has not come to trouble him yet, which can only mean that Prometheus has no ill will towards him.
In other words, the god of fate behind Prometheus had no ill will towards him.
This realization made Zeus relax a lot, and his attitude became more polite and courteous. "Respected God of Prophecy and Foresight, you are so perceptive. It is I who was too slow to come and visit you sooner."
"No, everything is arranged by fate." Prometheus whispered. After being with Taron for a long time, he now speaks more and more like a charlatan.
"Respected God of Prophecy, do you have any instructions?" Zeus became more serious. He intuitively felt that something very important was going to happen next.
"You know your mission, that's good." Prometheus smiled and said, "You are so young, brave, and intelligent. These excellent qualities will accompany you and help you accomplish everything you want to do."
At this point, he changed the subject: "But you have to know that one person's strength is not enough. You need the support and help of others."
Zeus nodded very seriously to express his attitude, while waiting for Prometheus' next words.
"Before you, the other two God Kings also received the support of fate to become God Kings."
The hint was very obvious. Zeus didn't know whether this was Prometheus's intention or the intention of the person behind him, but he still expressed his opinion immediately:
"Of course, but I wonder how I can visit His Highness Taren? I went to the void, but didn't see him there."
"His Highness Taron will not see you for the time being," Prometheus said, "because the God King Kronos has been watching him. If he saw you now, the God King would also know you."
"This is not good for you."
Zeus nodded seriously, and Prometheus continued, "But sooner or later you will stand against the God King. When that time comes, you won't have to worry about being discovered by the God King, and you can go see His Highness Taron."
"But have you figured out what you're going to use to convince His Highness? Or rather, why does His Highness want to see you?"
Prometheus's meaning is very clear. He is asking what benefits Zeus can give and why Taron chooses to support him instead of Kronos.
At least so far, from the surface, Kronos's winning rate is far higher than Zeus's.
Zeus frowned. He had nothing now, and he still owed Taron two conditions. What benefit could he get in return?
But Taren's support is very important, and it is no exaggeration to say that it can affect the outcome of the battle.
Zeus had already seen that the ancient gods' trust in Taren had reached a blind point.
Zeus even suspected that after he and Kronos officially confronted each other, Taron would only need to jump out and say:
"Fate is on the side of the God King Kronos."
Those ancient gods who could have remained neutral probably supported Kronos on the spot.
How can this be?
He had to pull Taren to his side no matter what. Although Taren's combat power was not top-notch, his role was more like a weather vane and spiritual leader.
Because everyone believes that whichever side Taren supports is destined to win.
This is far more important than those top-tier gods.
Zeus thought about it again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "If His Highness Taren is willing to meet me, I am willing to agree to his conditions that are not excessive."
Together with the two conditions promised before, there are already three conditions. These conditions are big and small at the same time. If he is just Zeus, then these conditions are nothing.
But if he can become a God-King in the future, then these three conditions will be very useful.
The main reason is that apart from this, Zeus has nothing else to promise because he has nothing now.
He could only promise later.
But the problem is, he hasn't even met Tarun yet, and he's already owed three conditions!
If he wants to convince Taren to stand on his side, he doesn't know how much it will cost.
When Zeus thought of this, he felt extremely bitter in his heart, but he had to do it because he had no way out.
"You are truly a sincere God."
Prometheus smiled upon hearing this and said in a gentle voice, "I will tell His Highness Taren that when the time is right, I believe His Highness will meet with you because of your sincerity."
"Before that, I think you can think about how to show more sincerity and convince His Highness to help you. You must know that fighting against the God King is a road of no return, and no one likes to take risks."
Zeus smiled and nodded, but his smile was very bitter.
He had a feeling that if he wanted to defeat the God King, he would probably have to owe a lot of debt to His Highness Taren, but he had no way to do it.
The only good news was probably that he finally got the position of Metis, the goddess of wisdom, from Prometheus.
He didn't know that it was Taren who was responsible for his failure to find Metis, he just thought that getting the position of the goddess was not bad at all.
His Highness Taren was quite generous and didn't want to see him, perhaps it was really for his own good.
Zeus, who was still young and didn't know how dangerous the world of gods was, thought so and became more determined to win over Taron.
