In the East China Sea, on a nameless island, three months have passed since Zeus waited for the return of Metis.

Apparently, the young Zeus did not realize in the slightest that his every move was under the observation of others. It is not even clear that the Titan Lord God and his three daughters, who should have been included in the harem, have left him.

Through side knocks, in the mouth of Eurynoma, Zeus easily obtained the news about the goddess of wisdom. The result thrilled him, and as he expected, Metis was indeed a rare wise man.

In terms of technique, she can easily learn things that are difficult for others to understand, and push through the old and innovate; In dealing with problems, she can always accurately judge right and wrong, and solve the occasional conflict between the gods and spirits on the sea.

But for such a goddess, Zeus had some difficulties. He didn't know how to get the other party to be on his side, so he finally chose the simplest and most straightforward way.

He no longer hides his origins, but tells everything he knows about himself. In the face of wisdom, he chooses 'sincerity' and 'weakness'. He told Eurynome how terrible his opponents were, how his brothers were suffering, and how he resented his father's cruelty.

This is something that Eurynomer resonates with. As a rare true god among the goddesses of the ocean, she has also seen the battle between the god king and the ocean god couple hundreds of years ago. For a guy who came to the door, Eurynomer naturally didn't have a good impression.

Perhaps out of sympathy, or perhaps out of other thoughts, after the return of Metis, the goddess of the water-grass pasture met with Zeus to meet her sister.

After Zeus took out Amoni's fur from the goat, Eurynomus told Metis about Zeus's bravery, fearlessness, righteousness, and noble character, and the goddess of wisdom was indeed impressed.

But instead of jumping to conclusions, she spent three months observing Zeus's character. In this regard, the future god-king behaved impeccably. He demanded himself like a golden human, and eventually, Metis decided to support his cousin against his father.

Supporting the new king to ascend to the throne is also a great challenge for the goddess of wisdom.

"I once heard that long ago there were three magical stone tablets in the hands of Mother Earth, and one of them was engraved with a sentence - Know thyself."

Sitting in the shade of a tree by the lake, a confident smile hung on Metis's intellectual face.

Now that the decision has been made, a well-developed plan of action is required. In this regard, Zeus undoubtedly had little idea. So Mortis looked at the young god on the side and asked slowly:

"So, Zeus, what do you think are your chances of winning against your father?"

"Nope." Shaking his head, Zeus said truthfully: "It will take thousands of years for my divine power to reach its peak, and even if I reach the limit allowed by the priesthood, I am far from being the opponent of the god king. ”

"Yes," Metis nodded, "The God-King's power is too strong, and to defeat him, you need to both weaken his power and increase your strength." ”

"Weaken the God King, I don't have a clue yet. But you have a lot to do to strengthen yourself. ”

Looking at the goddess talking eloquently in front of him, Zeus's heart moved slightly, but at the moment of business, he suppressed this thought and continued to ask:

"Strengthen yourself, don't you have any way to increase your divine power quickly?"

"I don't, but you have a chance."

Pointing at Zeus, Metis said, "The legendary golden apple, it can greatly speed up the speed at which the gods can accumulate divine power. If it were someone else, you might not be able to get it, but you're different. ”

"As long as you can show enough ability and swear to Mother Earth to unleash the giants of the abyss for her, she will not skimp on her treasures."

"Mother Earth?"

Nodding, Zeus understood what she meant. The origin of Gaia's conflict with her young son is well known, and she may not support herself against the God-King, but she is certainly willing to do something for the giants of the abyss. But he still had some doubts about what it meant to be 'showing enough ability'.

That's what he thought, that's what he asked, and Mortis didn't disappoint him.

"Defeat your father once, in any field, this is the best way to prove your abilities."

"But I can't do that."

I am a little disappointed, if I have this ability, why bother thinking about it here.

"Of course you can't, but to your advantage, Zeus." Mortis said slowly, "Your mother, the Queen Rhea must be on your side. ”

"The power of the God King is very strong, but he may not be able to resist the betrayal of those around him. With the help of the Queen of God, it is possible for you to do this. ”

Standing up, Metis took a few steps around the lake. She looked at Zeus and suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"You said before that you met a god named Hekate on the way here?"

"Yes," Zeus nodded, "is there anything wrong with her?" ”

"No, I dealt with her."

"A self-proclaimed 'sorcerer' god who walks the sea, skilled in astrology, potions, and illusions, and with her help, things would be much easier."

"She doesn't like me very much, though. Probably because of some past experiences, seeing me teach humans seems to remind her of some bad past. ”

"But it doesn't matter," Metis asked, looking at the ocean in the distance, and again to the gods beside him:

"Zeus, do you know what the greatest advantage of our ocean god system is?"

"How many people are overwhelming?"

After hesitating, Zeus still said the answer in his heart.

"That's right, it's that there are many people, and even the legend says that when the Titan God Clan overthrew the Heavenly Father, they also relied on this."

Nodding, Mortis's words grew more confident.

"This is also the biggest shortcoming of the God King, by his side, there are almost no helpers that he can trust. He is strong, but he is only strong as a person. ”

"So you have to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, Zeus. Paralyze your father and rescue your brothers and sisters who were swallowed by the God-King, they are your natural helpers compared to others. ”

"And all of this depends on your mother goddess, and all the beings you see along the way that may help you."

"I'm sure you'll make it."

Metis's words made Zeus suddenly enlightened, and he felt that he had found a direction to work towards. But compared to these, looking at the goddess in front of him, Zeus felt that she herself was far more valuable than those suggestions.

"Yes, Metis," Zeus said firmly, meeting the gaze of the black-haired goddess, "we will succeed." ”

He swore that a wise goddess like this should always counsel him.
