Each of these pieces of news was enough to detonate the entire universe.
Soon they spread like the most violent storm, rapidly reaching every corner of the entire universe!
All gods in the universe fell into unprecedented enormous shock at this moment!
Then came various different reactions from each.
Let's set that aside for now.
First, let's talk about Zeus's side.
Zeus, separated from Dione, could only be described with one word for his current mood—joy!
He had finally completed the most crucial final link in his divine essence!
From now on, he no longer needed to deliberately endure anything!
He transformed into a joyful brilliant thunderbolt, carrying lightning radiance that tore through the firmament, returning to Mount Olympus at the fastest speed.
Without a trace of hesitation, he charged directly to Metis's palace.
The hurried Zeus startled Metis, and Eurynome beside her was also startled, then felt irrepressible joy!
As long as she could see Zeus, she felt incomparably happy!
Eurynome, staying at Olympus, often came to talk with her sister.
Of course, her main purpose was to indirectly inquire about His Majesty the God-King's situation and personal preferences.
The sisters had a good relationship, and Eurynome didn't disrespect Metis.
But...
It wasn't that the sister was being ungodly—His Majesty the God-King was truly too tempting!
It wasn't about stealing her sister's beloved either.
Eurynome expressed internally: she was willing to be the God-King's lover!
Great His Majesty the God-King could have another goddess who deeply loved him by his side!
Even without status!
Though Eurynome was extremely powerful, undoubtedly outstanding among the many ocean daughters, unlike other unusually strong gods, she didn't possess an unruly character.
She completely inherited her mother goddess Tethys's gentle and beautiful temperament—she was gentle, kind, loving, intelligent, elegant, virtuous, and extremely, extremely, extremely beautiful, a great goddess of brilliant charm!
Such a goddess would be genuinely liked by anyone. Especially in the already united and loving atmosphere of the ocean god system, Eurynome was the common darling cherished by all ocean gods.
Including on current Mount Olympus, all gods liked her too.
Not only was her temperament truly endearing, but she was also genuinely too beautiful.
The great mother goddess who would later give birth to the three Graces—just thinking about it, one could imagine how wonderful her temperament and appearance would be.
All beautiful words in the world could be used to describe her, whether internal or external qualities.
In this boundless universe, too many male gods were madly pursuing her (whether married or unmarried).
But her heart contained only Zeus.
When she first saw her sister Metis wearing the ocean's unique crown of life, she was very curious about what the male god who gave her sister gifts would look like.
Until later, everything that happened let her know what kind of god Zeus really was.
The more she understood, the deeper she sank, unable to extricate herself.
Even though she already knew he was her dear sister's male god.
But that admiration from the deepest part of her divinity could never be suppressed by reason.
She didn't want to steal her sister's male god, nor did she ever think of possessing Zeus alone.
She wasn't greedy at all.
She only hoped to get just a tiny bit from her sister's embrace.
She didn't mind being a concubine at all!
Unfortunately, great His Majesty the God-King was truly too busy.
The time she could see him was extremely rare.
Now suddenly seeing Zeus, who haunted her dreams, her gaze instantly transferred completely to Zeus.
In her ocean-clear sea-blue beautiful eyes, she instantly forgot everything in the world—they only reflected Zeus's figure.
Beautiful Eurynome just stared blankly at Zeus, even forgetting the most basic courtesy.
No matter how foolish Metis might be, she couldn't possibly not know her sister's thoughts. She had long known about her sister's feelings.
This silly sister's love for her beloved couldn't be hidden at all.
As daughters of the ocean, since she could love Zeus to the point where even the depths of her divinity had completely fallen, then her sister falling in love with this same radiant deity was a perfectly normal thing.
About this, she could only sigh secretly in her heart.
She was both proud that her beloved was excellent enough to make all goddesses fall for him, yet bitter that all goddesses fell for him.
Especially her own sister.
But what could be done?
Metis really couldn't bear to see her extremely gentle and gracious sister only able to frown sadly and be dispirited all day.
Anyway, her beloved was an emotionally abundant amorous God-King who extremely liked beauty and had always been weak-willed in such matters.
Better to benefit her own sister than some other cheap goddess!
Metis looked at her sister staring blankly at Zeus. Even though she was mentally prepared, she still felt an irrepressible sourness surge in her heart.
She coughed heavily twice, finally calling back Eurynome's wandering spirit.
Eurynome's delicate body shook, hurriedly trying to disguise excitement and joy that couldn't be hidden, quickly stepping forward two steps and saying extremely gently and shyly: "Greetings to great Sacred His Majesty the God-King."
Speaking thus, she obediently pressed her chest and bowed deeply.
Zeus had originally charged into the hall wanting to directly embrace Metis, but seeing Eurynome there, he forced himself to restrain.
He looked at this ocean daughter with beautiful figure yet extremely full and voluptuous form before him, smiling and nodding: "It's Eurynome. Haven't seen you for a while—beautiful Eurynome has become even more beautiful. Is there something you need from your sister?"
Being praised so gently by Zeus, Eurynome's heart was as sweet as drinking the most delicious divine wine. She said in a voice so soft it could nearly melt: "Respected Your Majesty the God-King, Eurynome has no particular matter, just hasn't seen sister for a long time and came to chat with her."
The anxious God-King nodded, forcing calm as he smiled: "If there's anything needing help, you can come find your sister anytime, or come find me. We're all family—whatever it is, I can help you."
The gracious goddess nodded her little head repeatedly, incredibly well-behaved. Metis beside them, seeing her sister like this, shook her head secretly.
Her sister... probably, as long as her beloved crooked a finger at her, she would willingly let him do whatever he wanted, without needing to say another word.
Metis stepped forward to lightly embrace Zeus, raising her head to look at Zeus, saying with the gentleness unique to ocean daughters: "My love, coming so urgently—is there something important you need me for?"
Zeus just quietly looked at this ocean goddess full of deep affection and wisdom before him. Infinite tenderness surged in his heart, and the fire long suppressed in his heart instantly burned madly.
This affectionate divine lord, with his masculine magnetic voice, said incredibly gently: "My love, there is indeed something."
The wisdom goddess could clearly feel her beloved's deep affection. Her heart full of softness responded with equal tenderness: "My love, what matter makes you rush here so urgently?"
Zeus couldn't help kissing her smooth forehead, his handsome face full of smiles: "Of course it's because I miss you too much. It's my irrepressible longing for you that made me forget everything, only wanting to come to your side."
The Thunder Lord's words seemed to carry lightning—just this one sentence made the emotional wisdom goddess's entire body tingle.
If not for the last trace of rationality, with her sister still beside them, she would have offered her beloved the sweet honey of wisdom right now.
Eurynome beside them, this poor goddess, was almost about to cry.
Though she didn't mind being a concubine, watching her most beloved male god and dear sister being so affectionate, whispering sweet words while she could only watch from the side—now her originally clear heart lake had become a bitter sea, constantly churning.
She was so envious she almost cried!
Zeus now completely couldn't endure anymore. He looked toward Eurynome, smiling gently: "Beautiful Eurynome, I have some private matters to discuss with your sister. Please go back first."
Eurynome nodded weakly, dejectedly responding: "Yes."
Then she drifted out like a lost soul, even her brilliant water-blue long hair had lost its color.
Eurynome's appearance made even Metis feel some heartache. She helplessly glared at the culprit.
She didn't believe that with her beloved's wisdom, he wouldn't know her sister's thoughts.
But he still stimulated her cute sister like this in front of her—truly terrible!
If Zeus knew Metis thought this way, he would definitely cry injustice.
He truly didn't do it on purpose today.
It was just that with everything ready, he could no longer conceal his heart's most primitive vigorous love.
Being able to endure chatting politely with Eurynome for a few sentences was already tremendous willpower!
Eurynome had just drifted out the palace door, not even gone far, when Zeus was already tightly embracing his beloved goddess, fiercely kissing her, greedily taking the ocean daughter's sweet pure nectar.
Eurynome, reluctant to leave, secretly looked back wanting to see Zeus once more, then regretted it extremely.
Her originally slow pace instantly quickened, transforming into a blue-white flowing light returning to her own temple.
Then this goddess cried very sadly alone.
Zeus's passion today made even Metis feel somewhat strange, but soon she too completely melted into the softest, most charming spring water under her beloved's wildfire-like enthusiasm.
Her divinity drifted to that boundless starry sky. She seemed to see brilliant stars exploding into the most gorgeous fireworks in the depths of her divinity, with endless ethereal tides madly impacting all her rationality and thinking.
When she still couldn't react to anything, she vaguely heard her beloved say: "My love, my Metis, my divine light, my bright fire, my thinking, my wisdom."
After that, whatever else Zeus said, she could no longer hear.
She only felt the starlight-woven garments on her body silently dissipate, and burning thunder brought incredibly clear sensations.
In this moment, the supreme essential wisdom was completely possessed by thunder's master.
Above the entire Mount Olympus, wind and clouds suddenly rose. Endless dark clouds gathered from the void with a commanding presence, completely obscuring the entire sacred mountain's brilliant radiance.
However, in those heavy cloud layers, bright and joyful golden lightning danced like playful spirits, constantly flickering cheerfully. Nine-colored aurora appeared and disappeared in the layered dark clouds.
As time passed, galloping thunder was like countless golden dragons dancing wildly in the firmament. Each roar became sacred rhythm that shook the universe, releasing primitive energy capable of splitting chaos and redefining order.
Those lightning bolts tearing through the sky were like the most brilliant fireworks blooming in eternal night, illuminating the endless layered sea of clouds with transparent brightness.
That was the ultimate symbol of pure power, the indestructible supreme manifestation of the God-King's will.
In this scene full of supreme majesty and power, a brilliant yet gentle, tranquil yet profound light of wisdom proudly bloomed.
She wasn't blindingly dazzling, yet like the brightest star in the night sky, quietly radiating radiance capable of perceiving everything—clear and wise.
Her brilliance became countless invisible sacred threads, gently shuttling through the universe's law networks, perceiving the universe's deepest truths, revealing eternal laws of all things' birth and death.
Even in this truly invincible, mighty thunder belonging to the God-King, this thread of wisdom's radiance remained unextinguished, complementing it.
Wisdom was the power that made strength even stronger; the power that made strength eternally immortal; and the only power in this world that was consciously "alive."
When that supreme "power" and that supreme "wisdom" finally perfectly merged.
An unprecedented, indescribable sacred radiance suddenly exploded! From the cloud center, it instantly illuminated the entire universe!
It was a completely new sacred radiance possessing both golden thunder's supreme majesty and infinite wisdom's clarity and transparency.
This light fell like sweet rain on earth, washing away dust and confusion from all beings in the world.
The dark clouds covering the world's sky no longer became that oppressive, stuffy battlefield at this moment, but instead became the most magnificent stage for a grand celebration.
Countless new light beams perfectly merging "power" and "wisdom" danced freely in the vast firmament like countless ribbons full of joyful atmosphere, weaving incomparably gorgeous, sacred patterns containing all universal principles.
When these two great forces began their deepest convergence, all laws between heaven and earth were being rewritten toward more perfect directions.
Thunder was no longer blind force from then on—each flash contained precise insight.
He possessed eyes capable of penetrating all mist—eyes belonging to "wisdom."
And wisdom's light was no longer solitary contemplation—she was completely ignited by thunder full of infinite vitality.
Between them erupted the most essential vital sparks belonging to "creation."
Lightning full of wisdom tore through all tangible and intangible bonds in the real world.
As time continuously changed, that lightning's supreme strong radiance, in union with wisdom's light's supreme gentle goodness, underwent incredibly magical and wonderful fundamental transformation.
That lightning radiance suddenly changed.
In the real world, that incomparably solid space was silently torn apart by lightning in the rolling cloud layers, revealing the boundless chaotic void beneath.
A radiance purified to the extreme gushed forth from that invisible chaos belonging to "nothingness."
It had no heat, no color, not even fixed form, but it could penetrate everything in this world.
This sacred radiance made everything in the universe appear crystal clear like the purest crystal.
Everything—their life and death, existence and destruction—had nowhere to hide under this radiance.
Next came thunder's roar once again.
Only this time, thunder's roar was no longer full of majesty, awe-inspiring anger, but like the most essential whisper from creation's beginning.
Initially so faint as to be inaudible, like the gentlest sigh of breeze between distant galaxies.
But it expanded and spread at incredible speed, finally becoming sacred resonance capable of shaking the three realms and three domains.
The earth trembled violently, not from fear but responding to life's rhythm; mountains continuously cracked, yet more new crystals grew in the fissures; oceans roared fiercely, yet it was pure ocean water's impact, evolving endless deep-sea creatures.
Sky and underworld played strange creative rhythms. Ocean pure water gushed forth vigorously in unprecedented momentum. The underworld's framework rapidly evolved.
Above the sky, endless life-giving moist dew also began rapidly condensing.
Accompanied by joyful thunder sounds, a sacred rainstorm was ready to pour down at any moment.
Finally, lightning's dance completely overturned all understanding.
That indestructible lightning was no longer purely violent force. Under the fusion of endless "spirituality" and "wisdom" essence, it became an extremely restrained new force.
The supreme master's great thunder formed strange sacred light bands flowing like myriad-colored rainbows.
Each flow of these light bands contained terrifying power capable of making a world instantly born and instantly perish.
Finally, the sweet dew long accumulated in the cloud layers, under this God-King who controlled thunder and clouds, poured down like the celestial river overflowing.
Golden fine rain full of life, spirituality and wisdom, swept by fierce winds, sprinkled toward the vast earth.
On the earth, in just an instant, spring warmth and flowers bloomed.
Countless new beings were being nurtured by the earth and growing vigorously at incredible speed.
The strongest power, after gaining supreme spirituality and completely achieving the supreme ultimate totality, completely gained supreme wisdom.
"Power" and "wisdom"—these two most essential forces in the universe finally perfectly converged in one deity.
The authority of omniscience: all of the past, present existence, future destiny.
Because "spirituality" plus "wisdom" was "omniscience" of "all that happens in reality," and also the most solid foundation leading to "future destiny."
The invincible God-King had gained nearly one-third omniscience.
The invincible God-King became even more invincible.
Though current wisdom was still not absolutely perfect wisdom.
But this was already enough for this already invincible Lord of Gods to take the most crucial step toward "omniscience and omnipotence."
This sacred union between the supreme God-King and supreme wisdom lasted exactly seven days and seven nights.
All gods didn't clearly know what specifically happened in the clouds, but they knew something extremely remarkable had occurred.
This commotion was truly too great.
The Mother of All Things was drenched by golden rain.
Infinite new life was being nurtured on the vast earth, but she completely didn't care about such matters now.
Because from the beginning, within those clouds covering Olympus, she had mysteriously sensed an extremely familiar aura.
That was a feeling that made her both yearn and fear.
She continuously watched those clouds covering the entire Mount Olympus with an incomparably grave gaze, until those clouds completely enveloped the entire world.
That thunder still rumbled; that lightning still danced lively and cheerfully; that radiance became increasingly brilliant yet increasingly gentle and warm.
At this moment, she very clearly recognized an absolutely unchangeable reality.
This newly appointed God-King would inevitably be the last God-King in this universe.
Of course, not only Mother Goddess Gaia felt heavy-hearted.
Many goddesses felt heavy-hearted now, but their reasons for feeling heavy-hearted were completely different from Gaia's.
That melancholy Goddess Hera just stared blankly at those clouds gathering on the horizon. She stood quietly at her temple door for a long time.
Then completely closed the heavy, magnificent palace gates, hiding herself in the deepest, darkest room.
She didn't want to see anything anymore; didn't want to hear anything.
Only her silently falling tears dropped onto the earth outside the temple, finally becoming eternal dead seas full of saltiness and despair.
Warm and kind Hestia—her sunshine-like gentle smile could no longer be seen at this moment.
She also hid herself in her temple where hearth fires forever burned, using the strongest divine wine to numb her sorrows.
