In the lofty ocean palace, Amphitrite looked up at the hazy sea surface with a sense of meaning. As the wife of Poseidon, the god of the sea, she actually realized immediately at the moment of the incident that her husband had completed the punishment given to him by Zeus.
She had known that this day would come, but she had never expected it to arrive so soon.
Since Poseidon lost his power and status and left the sea, Amphitrite, as the Queen of the Sea, has not only rediscovered her past freedom and happiness, but also established her own majesty and status in the sea.
By chance, for her sake, the powerful hundred-armed giant even agreed to let his long-missed daughter come back to see him while he was asleep. This was something Amphitrite had never dared to think about in the past.
After all, Poseidon didn't care about his offspring, especially those who were of no use to him. He would never ask his daughter to return to the place where she was born and raised.
However, the more Amphitrite saw her child, who was even more pitiful and helpless than herself, the more she felt the misery and pain of being vassals of the gods when they parted.
Therefore, when Amphitrite realized that Poseidon was about to return, she inevitably felt panic. The freedom and isolation during this period made her almost forget the pain and sadness she had suffered in the past, and she even couldn't help but anxiously think about how to face Him.
And then there is...Medusa.
She knew that her husband would want to look for Medusa as soon as he came back. After all, he had loved her so much. But she had left long ago, and she didn't know how he would vent his anger on other innocent people.
Amphitrite knew very well what Medusa had brought to their family, but to be honest, she did not have much hatred for her. She even felt a little grateful to her for helping her understand what she wanted.
Even though her son Triton had been in a depressed state since Medusa left, she thought he would gradually recover with the passage of time, but it seemed that time had ignored him and never healed the child's wounds.
She didn't know what Medusa had said to Triton, but Amphitrite could understand that a woman who had been hurt would never accept the child of her perpetrator.
If possible, Amphitrite hoped that Medusa would never come back. Even more so, she hoped that Poseidon, the god of the sea, would never come back...
However, Amphitrite waited for a long time. She unilaterally believed that she would face punishment from Poseidon, but she waited for a long time and never got what she wanted.
What she never expected was that when she realized something was wrong again, the whole world had changed.
The entire sea began to surge and roar uncontrollably, but this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that she felt that the power of the gods was gradually declining. Perhaps it cannot be said to be declining, but rather that the power controlled by the gods seemed to have returned to the world itself.
She really didn't understand what was happening outside.
For Amphitrite, although she became more powerful in the ocean, power and status were actually not that important to her.
She had wanted to leave her husband a long time ago, but as the wife of the powerful sea god, separation from her husband was simply not allowed, and even her powerful father would never agree to it.
Perhaps in her heart, there has always been a vague thought that everything that bound her should have ended long ago.
In this painful marriage, Amphitrite did not feel any fear about losing power and status at this moment, but instead had a glimmer of hope for liberation.
Not only did Poseidon not come back, but such weakness even affected the Hecatonchus, who inevitably fell into a deep sleep in the ocean. However, unlike before, he never woke up after his sleep.
It seemed as if the world finally saw the pain and hardship they endured and chose to favor them with the rest of their lives.
But it was a long time before she realized that this was actually a revolution, a man-made struggle.
To be honest, Amphitrite felt it was unexpected, yet also reasonable.
But she couldn't stop regretting that perhaps she could have done more and better, and made everything happen sooner.

The sea goddess Tarasa suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the sea with mixed emotions, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect...you actually did it."
For the gods Pontus and Thalassa, who were closer to the ocean itself, the decline of the ruling Olympian gods had little to do with them.
They are still ancient gods that symbolize the world itself, but from their perspective things become much more objective.
However, the sea goddess Thalassa was not as "selfless" and "tolerant" as Pontus. As an ambitious god and a mother who hated her children for not being able to live up to their expectations, she felt strongly unwilling to accept this, which prompted her to choose to stand on the opposite side of the Olympian gods.
In her opinion, choosing to help Medusa was nothing more than an illusory investment by Tarasa. He never thought that a tiny ant could really rely on the power of hope in its body to fight against the entire Olympian gods.
But the fact is, all this really happened.
Was it fate that things would turn out as she wished, or was it the so-called power of hope that took effect? Or was it that her mortal body was inherently filled with the power to change the world?
To be honest, Tarasa is more inclined to the latter, because fate is no longer the shackles that hang over all life. Perhaps Medusa is the right person, and therefore she can exert the power of hope to the greatest extent.
It is impossible not to sigh. Medusa is just the offspring of Phorcys and a human woman. Perhaps she has experienced too much and has done much better than the naive Hylia.
Fortunately, Hylia has come to her senses from her obsession with Poseidon, the god of the sea, and those ignorant and arrogant Olympians have paid a price, which is enough for Thalassa, the goddess of the sea.
At this moment, Helia had no idea what was happening above the water. She looked up at the sea in confusion, then smiled sweetly. "You look very happy. Did something happen?"
Finally, Thalassa simply withdrew her gaze and spoke calmly and slowly, "It's nothing, it's just that the weather is going to change."

Triton had not seen Medusa since she left.
It’s not that he didn’t want to find her, but when Medusa left, her words were like a needle piercing into his bone marrow, constantly creating wounds in his heart.
She said to herself, 'Since I came to the sea, every day has been painful. For me, there is no place here worth staying.'
For a long time, Triton kept thinking about the meaning of her words.
In fact, he had understood it a long time ago, but he couldn't help thinking about it over and over again... It turned out that Medusa had never had any feelings for him, and even his existence was a source of pain for her.
Triton couldn't help but even imagine, if all that had happened in Medusa in the past had not happened, would there be any different possibilities between them?
Unfortunately, there is no if, and for Triton, he had no chance or room for choice from the very beginning, just like he would always be the offspring of Poseidon, the god of the sea, which was a fact that could not be changed at all.
However, when he realized that his powers seemed to be fading, Triton could no longer bear to waste his time in the dark and quiet seabed, unable to accept the consequence that he might never see Medusa again.
Triton wanted to tell her that he knew he had not been doing well all along. It was not until Medusa left that he realized how much harm his cowardice and hesitation had caused her. Every time he thought about it, Triton only felt more intense pain.
So Triton rushed out to the sea regardless of everything. Even if Medusa was at the end of the world, he would find her.
Even if it's just watching her from a distance.
