‘Fuck! An escort by the Second Generation Divine King.’
“…”
“…” Qin Muye really wanted to ask if the other was incapable of understanding human speech. Could his abilities really suppress a Divine King? Did he think he was Long Aotian who just needed to utter a few words and give a fierce shake of his tiger body for the Second Generation Divine King to bow his head and submit…
“More importantly, I need to have the means or authority to subdue or even kill them.”
“I have seen the Earth Mother Goddess.” Qin Muye said respectfully.
“It seems we have a new and unique Titan here. Was it the experiences from that supreme game that gave you such a distinct character?”
“Cough, Earth Mother Goddess, I’m too frail to handle Cronus. If he goes berserk, do you think it would be more appropriate for me to become a pancake or a meat spread?” Qin Muye tactfully said.
“Hades has already told me that you’re a good child,” Gaia’s tone was very gentle, and then she continued, “I will persuade Cronus to accompany you to your territory to ensure your safety.”
“I have agreed to your terms. I initially thought the Fourth Generation Divine King would be a descendant of Zeus, but I never expected it to be a descendant of Hades.”
“As long as you’re happy…” What could Qin Muye do about it? You’re the grand Earth Mother Goddess with connections to the Third Generation God King. If you say it’s okay, then it’s okay.
“If there was a divine being who could suppress Cronus, would you agree then?” Gaia asked.
“Three, at least three, and they also need a good enough reputation. Otherwise, I won’t agree to your conditions. Moreover, they must be under my jurisdiction and follow my orders, not act independently and undermine my sovereignty.”
“He is your grandfather, he will protect your territory and expand your domain. You will be the Fourth Generation Divine King,” Gaia immediately said.
“I don’t want Cronus, he’s too unstable.”
“My power is limited, and I can’t suppress Cronus, so for me, having Cronus guard my territory is not a benefit, but a demand and condition.”
“I will calm him down and even make him serve you, but there’s a condition.” Gaia Mother Goddess spoke firmly as well.
“I believe in the feelings between blood relatives, but not in the promises of a ruler,” Qin Muye retorted without hesitation.
“I know the Earth Mother Goddess wants to use me to expand the land for the Titan Divine Race and even restore Cronus, but that has no benefits for me. I could just leave you to play by yourselves.”
“Just because I have the blood of the Titan Divine Race running through my veins doesn’t mean I will identify with a bunch of absurd relatives. They are filled with desire and uncontrollable pleasures. In my eyes, they are nothing but a bunch of trash; even great power will only turn into cruel rule.”
“These are my absolute conditions; otherwise, we can just part ways.”
“As for the terms, they’re simple. I want you to become the Fourth Generation Divine King and rule the entire world.”
After all, Athena’s birth was quite dramatic. She was born from Zeus’s head split open by the Fire God Hephaestus.
After all, the Second Generation Cronus was truly brutal, even more ferocious than the First Generation Divine King Uranos. After ascending, he betrayed his siblings and even devoured his offspring to secure his power, and only Zeus managed to escape.
However, Cronus did not die but was deposed, which then led to the Giant’s Rebellion, which naturally failed, and afterward, Gaia gave birth to the monster Typhon who rebelled.
From this gossip, Qin Muye was well aware of what sort of creatures these Divine Kings were. Having the Second Generation Divine King Cronus come to his territory, might he not try to seize power on the first day?
But Qin Muye was calm. While he was tempted, the question was, would Cronus really listen to him?
However, this was also the only opportunity for Cronus to gain freedom, and even reclaiming his title as Divine King was not impossible.
On this, Qin Muye was quite optimistic about Athena.
On this, Qin Muye was also straightforward. It’s not that there were no Titans with normal personalities, there were, but these were about as common as those on the brink of extinction.
And Gaia indeed cared deeply for the Second Generation Divine King Cronus, otherwise she wouldn’t have foisted him onto Qin Muye.
Anyway, he wasn’t particularly capable—if they really thought he was fit, elevating him to the throne wasn’t unthinkable.
Gaia had once prophesied that Metis would bear Zeus twins. The elder sister would be the bright-eyed maiden, Athena, and the younger brother, the arrogantly divine King of Gods.
Gaia glanced at Qin Muye and then said solemnly, “I will make him understand who the true king is.”
Gaia did not speak, she felt that what Qin Muye had said was unpleasant to hear, but it was also the truth, otherwise the scenario of a son overthrowing his father would not have taken place, not to mention various absurd events that served as proof.
In Greek mythology, the lineage of the Divine King only reached Zeus, and the curse of the Divine King persisted, suggesting that perhaps only his progeny could overthrow Zeus.
Hades returned to his position as Hades, in the Netherworld, where he is supreme and does not need to pay respects to Gaia, whereas Qin Muye does.
The parallels with the second-generation God King Cronos swallowing Zeus and others were striking, after all, Zeus also swallowed Metis, the Wisdom Goddess; indeed, Athena is the daughter of Zeus and the Wisdom Goddess Metis, and Metis gave birth to Athena inside Zeus’s head.
Since Gaia played dumb with him, Qin Muye also spoke bluntly, for he was no match for Gaia, the Earth Mother Goddess who had lived for untold years.
It was just that the prophecy had a slight error, the King among Gods and Men had not been born, presumably having been killed.
Upon arriving at the grand hall, a beautiful woman was engrossed in watching television with Persephone.
The situation between the two was certainly chaotic enough.
Indeed, for Hecate it was just gossip, not any deep secret.
The progress was going smoothly so far, and as long as Cronos’s reputation and character issues were resolved, it was a win-win result.
Qin Muye felt that if he really agreed, he did not know if he would be the fourth-generation God King, but he was sure that the second-generation God King would take him out first, and even if he survived, Zeus would let him experience what it was like to be struck by lightning.
Qin Muye shook his head, “Demands can be made and negotiated, but I do not trust Cronos, what he has done is clear to everyone present, blood ties and emotions cannot restrain his ambition.”
Qin Muye had more than one trick up his sleeve, he could use the Super Space-Time Transmission Channel to send the Titans back to the world of fairy tales, or he could abandon the world after leveraging it as a stepping stone.
Qin Muye gave a speechless look, him, with his power, becoming the Divine King? Unless they directly crowned him, he doubted he could even reach the foot of Mount Olympus.
Qin Muye knew that this woman was Gaia, his own great grandmother… as well as Persephone’s great grandmother.
The person followed along, out of reach of the high heavens and far from the Emperor, what if something happened to Qin Muye.
If there really was a second-generation God King to bolster the scene, Qin Muye could indeed become the strongest force on the Magic Continent, but the problem is that every God King is a pitfall, absolutely not to be fallen into.
Maybe not insane, but definitely neurotic.
Even Chaos Chaos could not pursue the answer.
Although Gaia had her own motives, it was true that the second-generation God King Cronos was very suitable to be Qin Muye’s bodyguard.
Therefore, Qin Muye’s importance was exceptional, as for replacement? That was unlikely, considering that the Supreme Being described by the other was undetectable even by Gaia, the Earth Mother Goddess.
So this prophecy was not very reliable either, as for Metis, the Wisdom Goddess… she was currently still in Zeus’s head, advising him, presumably that turned every one of Zeus’s tasks into more than a single-person affair, even playing out a scenario of willful ignorance; one had to admit, Zeus knew how to play the game.
He was a figurehead at present, a mere idler, so it was better to be cautious.
Upon reflection, it was impossible, for one to become a Divine King, they must surely possess both military might and strategic acumen.
Choosing Cronos over Typhon, the second-generation Divine King, was not preferable, at least Typhon obeyed Gaia’s words and took his monstrous sons up Mount Olympus, although that ended with Typhon’s downfall.
If this was the extent of Gaia’s sincerity, then it would be better not to discuss further, Qin Muye was better off mixing with Hades, at least for now Hades seemed quite fond of him.
If there were no alternative plans, he would not dare to be so reckless.
Besides, the existence of a fourth-generation God King was another matter altogether.
Gaia fell silent at these words, for what Qin Muye said was indeed true.
Qin Muye had learned of these matters from Hecate, this highly independent goddess knew a great deal of gossip.
As for the first-generation Divine King, he still hangs in the sky.
