When they originally overthrew Uranus, Lady Night had contributed great effort and was an indispensable link of important assistance! But she didn't receive the treatment she deserved. She was squeezed out of the universe's order, and even a deity with the best temper absolutely couldn't tolerate this!
But even if she couldn't tolerate it, she could only continue to endure!
Her only pleasure and psychological comfort was secretly hiding in the deepest darkness of the universe, coldly observing the scheming and brutal internal strife within the celestial divine family.
This was her only psychological solace.
Until she herself became the entertainment.
The second-generation God King's greed was no less than Uranus's, and his cunning exceeded that of his father god.
Kronos set his sights on the dark night, unceremoniously stealing the authority of darkness and night.
He gave birth to the god of gloom, possessing shadow, darkness, dimness, murk, and shadows, stealing a large amount of the source authority of darkness and night all at once.
This was going too far in bullying a god! Not giving honor was one thing, but stealing too!
No, this was outright robbery!
Kronos thoroughly enraged Goddess Nyx, but she had no choice. No matter how unbearable it was, she could only continue to endure.
Until that day when Mother Goddess Gaia came to find her. Mother Goddess Gaia could also no longer endure it. The two supreme goddesses hit it off immediately, just like when they had plotted to overthrow Uranus, and once again reached consensus!
However, God King Kronos was really too powerful. Even wanting to plot his overthrow, she dared not directly face the God King's might.
Until now, Zeus had used his strength to gain the trust of Gaia and Nyx.
Nyx attended today's assembly of gods and, seeing Kronos lose the support of the gods, felt even more confident.
Kronos had already lost most of his assistance—she could go all in!
Going all in was a kind of wisdom.
The wisdom of assessing the situation.
Investment was always better the earlier it came.
But Nyx never expected that she wouldn't be the first to go all in!
Those seemingly honest-looking Titans Oceanus, Crius, and Hyperion had already openly supported Zeus!
This made her secretly mutter to herself: You Titans, are you worthy of the loyalty oaths you swore before Kronos back then?!
Lady Night quickly adjusted her mindset. She secretly comforted herself: It's not a big problem. Although she wasn't the first to go all in, at least she was the first to help. This was acceptable too—full support now was still in time.
Nyx, who had secretly come to Mount Olympus, quietly sent information to God Queen Rhea through the shadows. Upon receiving the message, Rhea quietly came to meet with her.
When she saw Lady Night's hazy figure, Mother Goddess Rhea showed a warm smile full of heartfelt gratitude.
She quickly stepped forward, her voice as gentle as heavenly music and full of respect: "Respected Sovereign of Night, primordial night that is the origin of all things, Your Majesty Nyx, Olympus welcomes your arrival. This sacred mountain is honored by your presence."
"Now my child is holding a feast. If he knew of your arrival, he would surely feel extremely honored."
Rhea extended her white and slender hand, smiling gently in invitation: "Please enter the hall with me and share divine wine and immortal delicacies, so we may fully enjoy this day worthy of celebration."
Nyx nodded in greeting to the God Queen: "Respected daughter of Uranus, great God Queen, mother of sacred Zeus, thank you for personally coming out to welcome me."
Nyx's words now were completely different from those at Mount Othrys. At Mount Othrys, her voice had no meaning or emotion, as calm as the abyss.
But now, before Rhea, although she was still shrouded in darkness like thin gauze, beneath that veil-like night, the goddess's voice became extremely gentle and pleasant.
Like a stream flowing through the dark night, elegant and full of magnetism, carrying a mysterious and hazy allure.
Goddess Nyx continued: "I have come to visit today because I wish to meet your child Zeus."
"I have come secretly—this is absolutely not because I don't respect you and that sacred deity, but to avoid alerting that cunning God King Kronos. The God King doesn't know of our connection, and perhaps there will be surprises later."
Rhea smiled, the loving mother goddess's smile like spring breeze passing over the hundred flowers atop Olympus, blooming with gentle radiance that brought peace to gods' hearts: "Respected Lady Night, please don't speak words that make me so ashamed. I understand all your intentions, and I deeply comprehend your farsightedness."
The God Queen's tone and gaze were full of sincerity. "Your care and help for me and my child—we will forever remember them in our hearts. You protected this child for so long, yet he has never personally visited you to pay you proper respect."
"It's not that he had no intention of visiting, but I stopped him. You have already given too much help. Before achieving sufficient glory, how could we presume to disturb your peace? We didn't want to bring you any unnecessary trouble."
Nyx gently shook her head, her form wrapped in darkness swaying with a rhythm showing understanding. She said softly: "Not coming to see me was correct. Now things are at a crucial juncture—any abnormality might attract the God King's attention. It's best not to expose our connection at this time."
Rhea nodded with a smile: "Respected Lady Night, thank you for your understanding and consideration."
"In that case, please wait for a moment while I have Zeus come out to see you."
At this time, within the temple, the gods were singing and dancing. Sacred and joyful music echoed in the brilliant hall, and the gods together enjoyed pleasant feasting.
Zeus moved among the gods, heartily inviting each deity to drink divine wine. The atmosphere was harmonious and joyful, with divine radiance intertwining with laughter.
Enjoying feasts was the fastest way to draw closer and eliminate unfamiliarity.
Rhea naturally returned to the temple, her elegant figure passing through the joyful gods and coming directly to Zeus's side.
Zeus constantly paid attention to all the gods' movements. With just a little thought, he knew that a guest must have arrived.
And it must be a guest worthy of respect.
Rhea gave Zeus a meaningful look. Zeus understood and quietly left the temple, while Rhea naturally took over hosting the feast.
Zeus estimated in his heart that the visiting guest was very likely Lady Night, because if Mother Goddess Gaia had come personally, she wouldn't have come secretly at all.
When he walked out of the temple and saw that deep and mysterious night color, he thought silently: As expected.
Then he quickly stepped forward. Before his form drew near, his hearty and vigorous laughter had already sounded first: "Respected Sovereign of Night, great primordial night, Your Majesty Nyx, welcome to your arrival. Here, Zeus, son of God Queen Rhea, offers you the most sincere respect and greetings."
Nyx then dispersed the dark veil that had been covering her face, showing respect for this future God King.
Zeus's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but be amazed in his heart.
