Chapter 105: Chapter 82 Metis’s Suggestion

Translator: 549690339

Atop the East Sea, on a Nameless Isle, three months had passed since Zeus waited for the return of Metis.

It was clear that the young Zeus had not noticed that his every move was being observed by others. He would be even less aware that the main Titan Deity and her three daughters, who were supposed to be taken into his harem, had already distanced themselves from him.

Through hints and implications, Zeus easily learned about the Goddess of Wisdom from Eurynome. The result excited him, as Metis was indeed a rare sage, just as he had hoped. NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

In terms of skill, she could easily grasp what others found difficult to understand, always innovating; in problem-solving, she was also able to accurately judge right from wrong, resolving occasional conflicts among the sea deities.

However, Zeus found himself at a loss when it came to such a goddess. He did not know how to get her on his side, so ultimately, he chose the simplest and most straightforward method.

He no longer concealed his origins but laid out everything he knew about himself. In the face of wisdom, he chose ‘sincerity’ and ‘vulnerability’. He told Eurynome about how formidable his opponents were, what kind of torment his brothers were undergoing, and how much he resented his father’s brutality.

Eurynome felt a deep resonance with this. As one of the few True Gods among the Oceanides, she had seen the contest between the Divine King and the God of the Ocean couple hundreds of years before. Naturally, she had no fondness for an invader who had come knocking on her door.

Perhaps out of sympathy or due to other thoughts, after Metis returned, the goddess of the seagrass meadows met with her sister alongside Zeus.

After Zeus took out the pelt of Goat Amalthea, Eurynome told Metis of Zeus’s bravery, fearlessness, justice, and noble character, and the Goddess of Wisdom was indeed moved.

But she did not jump to conclusions rashly and spent three months observing the character of Zeus. In this regard, the future Divine King was impeccable. He held himself to the standards of the Golden Humanity and, in the end, Metis decided to offer strategies and support to her cousin in his struggle against their father.

Supporting the new king to ascend to the throne was also a great challenge for the Goddess of Wisdom.

“I have heard that, in the distant past, Mother Earth once had three magical tablets, one of which bore the phrase ‘know thyself’.”

Sitting under the shade of a tree by the lake, Metis’s intellectual face was adorned with a confident smile.

Having made a decision, a comprehensive action plan was needed. In this aspect, Zeus undoubtedly had little to offer. Thus, Metis looked at the young deity beside her and slowly asked:

“So, Zeus, facing your father, what chances do you think you have?”

“Yes,” Zeus nodded and said, “Is there a problem with her?”

“No, I’ve had dealings with her.”

“A deity who walks on the ocean, who calls herself ‘Wizard’, skilled in astrology, potions, and illusions. Having her help would make things much easier.”

“However, she doesn’t like me very much. Probably because of some past experiences, seeing me teach skills to humans seemed to remind her of some unpleasant memories.”

“But that doesn’t matter,” Metis looked towards the distant ocean, then asked the deity beside her again:

“Zeus, do you know what our greatest advantage as the ocean god clan is?”

“...Numerical superiority?”

After hesitating, Zeus still spoke his mind.

“Correct, it is numerical superiority, and even the legends say that when the Titan Deity Clan overthrew the Heavenly Father, they also relied on this aspect.”

Nodding, Metis’s words grew more confident.

“This is also the greatest weakness of the Divine King. He nearly has no trustworthy helpers by his side. He is very strong, but it’s just the strength of one person.”

“So you need to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, Zeus. Distract your father and rescue your siblings who have been swallowed by the Divine King. Compared to others, they are your natural allies.”

“And all of this relies on your Mother Goddess, as well as every potential ally you’ve encountered along the way.”

“I believe that you will succeed.”

Metis’s words enlightened Zeus, making him feel as though he’d found the direction for his efforts. But compared to these, looking at the goddess before him, Zeus felt that she herself was far more valuable than any of the advice.

“Yes, Metis,” so, meeting the gaze of the dark-haired goddess, Zeus said resolutely, “We will definitely succeed.”

He swore that such a goddess full of wisdom should always be there to contrive strategies for him.
