After a very long time, so long that the sky and the sea gradually calmed down, the violent storm that covered the sky finally stopped, and the sun completely parted the clouds, Medusa stretched her neck, trying to see the ultimate victor of this rebellion.
But at this moment, the seabed suddenly began to tremble strangely, and the tide became turbulent again. Medusa, who was anxious to know the outcome, was caught off guard and was hit hard by the huge waves under the sea. The sea water instantly submerged her completely. Fortunately, the strength in her body allowed her to struggle out of the water quickly.
However, it was precisely because of this wave that Medusa, who was swept by the current, was keenly discovered by Triton not far away. He naturally would not let her bear the danger alone, so he swam towards her quickly and then held her in his arms.
Medusa was in no mood to flirt with Triton, so she didn't bother pretending and pushed him away forcefully, "Don't touch me!"
But at this moment, a huge and shocking object suddenly rose from the vast ocean, and the sea water quickly slid down from its body, splashing waves.
Medusa's eyes widened in surprise. In front of such a giant, with such a huge difference in size and strength, she could not help but tremble all over.
"It's... it's the Hundred-Armed Giant!"
At the same time, Triton didn't care about Medusa's ruthless rejection and exclaimed in disbelief.
After hearing what Triton said, Medusa realized that the other party really had fifty heads, a hundred hands, a hideous face and ferocious power.
But it was this powerful monster that unexpectedly jumped up in the next second, then flew to the towering Mount Olympus, and disappeared into the deep clouds.
Perhaps the monster's appearance was too sudden. After a while, when the sea finally calmed down, Medusa finally came to her senses. She turned to look at Triton who was holding her, and was a little surprised and confused for a moment.
Triton didn't know where Medusa's strength to push him away came from, but seeing how panicked she was, he suddenly hugged her and whispered to her, "It's okay, Medusa, it will be okay."
Medusa just felt funny in her heart. She knew the situation on Mount Olympus very well at that time, but she was afraid that Triton had no idea what kind of situation his father was in and was still confused.
But facing such a sudden monster, she felt a little uneasy and couldn't help asking, "The Hundred-Armed Giant... What is its relationship with your father?"
Triton's body stiffened slightly, and he seemed hesitant. "Why do you ask this question?"
Naturally, she wanted to know who the hundred-armed giant was helping. Seeing that Triton didn't seem willing to answer, Medusa's attitude suddenly changed. She raised her plump and rosy lips, stretched out her hand to hook his neck and move closer to him, and her legs naturally hooked around his strong waist.
They were bobbing up and down in the sea water. If Poseidon, the god of the sea, saw with his own eyes that his lover was so shamelessly seducing his son, he might have killed them immediately in anger. But fortunately, he was in danger himself and naturally did not care about such a shame.
"But...I just want to know."
Triton looked at Medusa in surprise. Although he was surprised by the change in her attitude, he had never experienced such entanglement and intimacy with her before. His desire rose rapidly due to her teasing. The Adam's apple on his neck rolled back and forth, and even his breathing became heavy unconsciously.
After a long pause, he finally spoke with difficulty, "This hundred-armed giant is Briareus. My father married my sisters to it. I think their relationship should be pretty good..."
Medusa was stunned at first, but then she thought of the monster she had just seen, huge and ugly, deformed and terrifying, and she felt cold and creepy all over.
What kind of father and brother would marry their sister to such a monster and let her be tortured by him day and night?!
She couldn't help but feel extremely absurd and angry, and her tone was filled with sarcasm, "You... are really good fathers and good brothers."
As she spoke, she loosened her arms and legs around Triton in disgust, wanting only to leave these horrible gods and their descendants immediately.
Even the most gentle and kind among them are superior and cruel to Medusa.
"That's not the case!" Triton argued anxiously, hugging Medusa tightly in his arms, almost completely restraining her. "I don't agree with what Father is doing at all, but... but you know, He is so powerful, I really can't do anything..."
She was in no mood to argue with the ignorant Triton at the moment, and just obediently rested her head on his white chest, trying to think about it all calmly.
Medusa has not yet avenged herself, and in fact does not have the extra time to care about other people's affairs. If she regains her freedom and becomes powerful in the future, she may go to save Poseidon's daughter, but at least not now.
The most important thing now is this sudden rebellion. She had thought about this problem before. Whether she wins or loses, Medusa hides behind and watches their infighting. As long as one of the gods, Poseidon and Athena, pays the price for it, she will be the winner.
Therefore, this hundred-armed giant that suddenly appeared, no matter who he came to help, actually had nothing to do with Medusa in essence.
But……
Medusa stretched out her hands and covered her chest tightly. Why was she so panicked?
Thinking of this, Medusa remembered the sickle that Triton had mentioned before, which was used to castrate the first king of heaven, Uranus. Since she had already done such a seductive thing, she might as well take advantage of it all at once and ask for all the information she wanted.
Then, she raised her eyes guiltily and cupped Triton's cheek. "I'm sorry, Triton, I misjudged you. I know you're not as arrogant, presumptuous, and sentimental as your father. I was just too sympathetic to your sister."
Hearing Medusa's understanding, Triton, who had been feeling sad, seemed to have calmed down a lot. His strong hands tentatively moved down, tremblingly holding her hips, and easily lifted Medusa up. He buried his handsome cheek in her milky white and soft chest. Even just smelling her body fragrance, he could feel a hidden excitement and happiness. "I'm glad you... think so."
The smile on Medusa's face grew even wider. She clung to Triton with a soft, boneless embrace, raising her slender, delicate neck and letting his lips tentatively caress her chest and neck. She panted softly, but tears seemed to well up in her eyes, and her tone was filled with intense sadness. "My dear Triton, I truly despise your father. He forced me, humiliated me, and vented his anger on me. But you are completely different."
Triton's movements came to an abrupt halt. Medusa's heart was indifferent, but her words were filled with irresistible temptation and almost heartbreaking sadness. "I really want to make your father pay the price, so that I can live a happy and pure life with such a gentle and kind person like you. But, perhaps... this day will never come..."
She choked with sorrow, "I don't know what that sickle you mentioned before is, let alone where it is. My power is too small. It seems that I can't get rid of Him no matter what."
Triton also raised his head with a sad expression at this time. The handsome man looked deeply at Medusa, his thoughts surging rapidly. At this moment, Triton only wanted to dedicate all the good things to this fragile, helpless, yet beautiful woman, and wanted to bow down to her.
So, he confessed everything he knew, wishing he could reveal everything he knew. "Kronos' sickle was imprisoned with Him in Tartarus, where the Hecatonchus was guarded. It was surrounded by three layers of darkness and three bronze gates made by my father. It was a terrible hell. Mortals could not even reach it, let alone find that sharp sickle..."
"—But, didn't the Hecatonchi already leave? In other words... is Tartarus in that direction on the seabed?"
Medusa, who seemed to be lost in thought, suddenly interrupted Triton. Triton was stunned for a moment and did not react to the meaning of her words.
At this moment, Medusa realized that this might be the perfect opportunity for her to find Tartarus. After all, gods are immortal. No matter how severe the punishment Zeus gives him, it is not as humiliating as castration. If Medusa wants revenge, this is the best way.
Facing the gods, she must make every possible attempt, even if this path of revenge requires Medusa to struggle and sacrifice almost like self-abuse, but she will do it at all costs.
Thinking of this, Medusa ignored the danger and immediately pushed Triton away, diving into the turbulent sea and swimming towards the direction where the hundred-armed giant appeared before.
But Medusa's swimming speed was really not as fast as Triton, the son of the sea god. Soon she was grabbed by the wrist by Triton who caught up with her in time and they became entangled in the sea.
He looked at the moody Medusa with almost pain and confusion, trembling with fear at her stubbornness and crazy behavior. "What are you doing?! It's dangerous there!"
Medusa was extremely annoyed and too lazy to say anything more to him, so she used the power in her body to push the shocked Triton away and headed towards her destination with determination.
*
The appearance of the hundred-armed giant Briareus completely broke the deadlock. As the offspring of the first king of heaven and the earth goddess Gaia, his power was naturally incomparably powerful.
Although it is the son-in-law of Poseidon, the god of the sea, as Triton said, before that, because of the Titan War that year, the Hecatonchus was released from Tartarus. It owed a favor to Zeus and must submit to him forever.
Therefore, the situation became very difficult. It had to help Zeus, but at the same time, it had to protect its father-in-law, Poseidon, the god of the sea, so that he would not be punished too harshly.
As a result, the rebellion of Hera, Athena and Poseidon completely failed because of the appearance of the Hecatonchus. Apollo did not participate in it at first, but after he fell into the sea because of Athena's spear, he did not reject Hera's proposal and benefits, but pretended that nothing had happened, so he was also implicated.
However, it was precisely because the conversation between Hera and Apollo in the sea was overheard by Zeus's beloved lover Thetis that Thetis had the opportunity to find the Hecatonchus and help Zeus quell the rebellion.
Zeus looked at his wife, daughter, son and brother, and was very angry, but when he thought about how he had betrayed his wife countless times and devoured his daughter's mother, he felt a little guilty.
But that kind of guilt was actually not that great. What Zeus cared about most was always his own power, and the goddesses could not sit on the throne of the king of gods after all, and they could not threaten him at all.
Not only that, Hera shared his rule over Olympus, and Athena was as powerful as himself, so he could only win her over and appease her, and could not blame her too much, lest he turn them completely to others.
As for Apollo, he did not join the rebellion from the beginning, but just happened to see everything. However, Zeus did not expect that he would choose not to report it and did not help his father, which really disappointed him.
As for his ambitious brother, Poseidon...
The nearly overthrown God King Zeus sat atop his majestic golden throne, his eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed upon the utterly bewildered yet expressionless Poseidon. He couldn't help but seethe with rage as he thought of how Poseidon had previously used his power over the seas to suppress his power over the skies. He couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. How could Poseidon not have guessed that all this was caused by him?!
Therefore, at this moment, Zeus wished he could immediately throw the ambitious Him into Tartarus!
But he could not vent his anger completely because of the hundred-armed giant. Not only that, Poseidon was his brother after all, and handing over the ruling power of the ocean, which was comparable to the sky, to other gods made him even more uneasy.
Zeus couldn't help but feel a headache.
…
Poseidon, the god of the sea, never expected that he would eventually be defeated by his own son-in-law. He felt secretly resentful but helpless.
Seeing his brother Zeus return to the throne of the king of gods, he gritted his teeth and despised him in his heart.
Fortunately, he was not the only one involved in the rebellion, but also his closest wife, daughter and son. Poseidon, the god of the sea, did not have the ruling power of Hera, nor was he as powerful as Athena, so he would not be punished too severely.
But at this moment, perhaps the God King Zeus finally figured out how to deal with their rebellion. A distant voice echoed, revealing his broad-mindedness and generosity. "My wife Hera and daughter Athena, none of this is your fault, so I forgive you, but I hope... this won't happen again."
Although Zeus looked very peaceful, the words "not this time" were emphasized, and he warned them lightly with his wise eyes.
Queen Hera's eyes were filled with emotion and shame, and she quickly lowered her head, while Athena looked at her father calmly without saying a word.
Zeus was dissatisfied, but felt guilty when he saw his powerful daughter looking at him. He really owed her and her mother, so he looked away and looked at the other two gods.
Poseidon suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Since it was not Hera and Athena's fault, then whose fault was it?
As expected, Zeus' tone became harsh and angry the next second. He stared at his brother and son, sneered, and his voice became loud and majestic, lingering and spreading over Mount Olympus, as if he was deliberately letting other gods who were unaware of the situation know the ins and outs of all this.
"Poseidon, God of the Sea, and Apollo, God of Light, your betrayal has betrayed my trust in you and filled me with extreme disappointment and disgust. I, Zeus, King of the Gods of Olympus, will punish you. You will be forced to use your mortal bodies to build the walls of Troy. Until then, all your divine powers will be stripped away until the walls are completed!"
Poseidon's eyes widened in disbelief, and he turned to look at Athena beside him angrily. He couldn't believe that Athena would be pardoned, while he would be stripped of his divine power to build a mortal wall!?
So, when will He return to His own territory and resume His position as Sea God?! When He returns, will He still rule the ocean?!
Yes, for Poseidon, apart from power and status, there is actually not much to worry about in the heart of the cold-blooded god. Even when Amphitrite, the Queen of the Sea, returned to her father's home, he did not even have the slightest thought or other emotions.
All this is unknown. The expression of the king of gods Zeus is indifferent, and he seems too lazy to even look at Him.
Fortunately, the fifty mouths of the hundred-armed giant Briareus added to smooth things over for Poseidon, "You must complete the punishment of the God King Zeus well. After you return to your divine duties, you must never betray the merciful God King Zeus again."
Zeus looked at the hundred-armed giant very coldly, but ultimately did not refute. It seemed that as long as Poseidon could complete the punishment, he would be able to restore his status and ruling power.
However, despite such a guarantee, facing such harsh punishment and realizing that he would not be able to return to the bottom of the sea for a long time, Poseidon could not help but think of a person, a humble and dissolute yet tough and charming mortal.
Of course, he would not admit that he had unknowingly developed such a concern for Medusa. Poseidon just felt that he had not yet made her pregnant with his child, nor had he obtained all her love.
Not only that, he even began to worry. When he finally completed Zeus's punishment, would Medusa have already forgotten him and turned to someone else's arms? Would the weak Medusa, having lost his protection, be persecuted by the despicable Athena?
...No, wait.
Poseidon, the god of the sea, suddenly felt puzzled and amused by his own thoughts. By then, Medusa would have become an old and ugly woman. For such a mortal who was destined to die, falling in love with him and giving birth to his offspring would have long lost its meaning! Even if she was persecuted by Athena in the future, what would it have to do with him?
But why did He feel regret and reluctance towards such a woman at this time, even to the point of worry and sadness?
But Poseidon couldn't argue here, nor could he spend enough time to explore the truth that led to this problem.
The king of gods Zeus waved his hand mercilessly, and the next second, his brother and son fell from the towering Mount Olympus, facing the wrath and punishment from the king of gods.
