Chapter 355 Good Sisters, One Quilt
The Great Temple.
As the theocratic meeting came to an end, the foreign gods and their representatives left one after another, while the goddess of wisdom Athena, the queen of heaven Hera, the goddess of hunting Artemis, the goddess of memory Mnemosyne, and the god of wine Lorn continued to sit in their original seats and started a new round of discussions behind closed doors.
Different from the previous cooperation for interests, this time it was an internal meeting of the God of War Mountain. The five main gods present were all their own people who could use more sincerity and less tricks.
Some things can naturally be discussed openly.
Athena glanced at the black dragon head rolling on the ground and asked in a deep voice.
"Are you sure you can kill Typhon?"
"How is that possible?"
Lorne rolled his eyes at first, then added unhappily.
"The opponent was a God King with [Immortality] after all. After fighting for several hours, I was able to blow up nine of its heads. Then, when the old thing saw that the situation was not good, it slipped directly into the Sea of Chaos. No one could stop it. In order to give you courage, I specially picked up a relatively intact head from the battlefield."
"So, the trouble on the sea can only be postponed?"
Hera raised her eyebrows, recalling her experience in the Sea of Chaos, with a hint of gloom in her eyes.
"It doesn't matter. The Sea God Temple is a big family with a lot of power, and Master Bo has a few good cards hidden. They can hold on for a while. As long as I stop Typhon from going ashore at the critical moment, the old man won't pose any serious threat to us."
After Loen said a few simple words of comfort, he looked up at Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory opposite him.
"You have already seen the Giants and the Titans. How do you feel?"
"The Giant Spirit Clan is still the same, but he seems to be stronger than before..."
"who?"
"Cronus!"
The goddess of memory, Mnemosyne, answered in a deep voice, with deep fear in her eyes.
Artemis couldn't help but look surprised when she heard this.
"That shouldn't be the case. Aren't the Titans imprisoned in Tartarus? And the power of Dreamland has been weakening and suppressing them. After such a long period of consumption, how could they not become weaker but stronger?"
"It's not the Titans who have become stronger, but Kronos."
Mnemosyne corrected in a deep voice, then the shadow of Kronos appeared in his palm and he spoke slowly.
"He seemed to have forged a [Crown] for himself and reshaped theocracy..."
【crown】?
The gods were stunned at first, and then their eyes focused on the halo composed of ten light patterns above the head of Kronos.
Loen looked carefully and suddenly discovered that the patterns in the halo seemed to be exactly the divine emblem he saw in the underground Titan temple.
The ten emblems of the gods correspond to the ten main Titan gods except Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, and Themis, the goddess of justice...
Moreover, they were all imprisoned in Tartarus directly or indirectly and had contact with the Titan King Kronos.
Could it be that...
Luo En's heart shuddered, and he felt a little frightened.
"He devoured them all?" A dry and suppressed voice came from the side. Queen Hera raised her head, her face a little pale, and her mind couldn't help but recall some past events.
Back then, with the support of Gaia, the goddess of the earth, Kronos united a group of Titan brothers, launched a surprise attack, castrated Uranus, the father of the sky, divided the authority of the first father god, and established the order of the Titans.
But at the same time, Kronos, the initiator, was also cursed by Uranus, the father of heaven.
——"You will be overthrown by your own children just like me!"
After being crowned king, Kronos began to eliminate dissidents on a large scale in order to secure his position as the king of gods. He first imprisoned the three hundred-eyed giants and the three hundred-armed giants in the hell of Tartarus.
Afterwards, he still could not feel at ease. In order to avoid the curse of his father Uranus from coming true, he swallowed the child born by his wife Rhea.
The five siblings, Hestia, Hera, Demeter, Hades, and Poseidon, were all swallowed by the father god and strangled in every possible way.
If it weren't for the power of the curse and the divine authority of life that saved their lives and allowed them to survive until Zeus grew up and joined forces with Metis to rescue them, they would probably have been digested long ago.
Although they had defeated the Father God once in the Titan War and overcame the fear of the past.
But being swallowed into the stomach of God the Father, with the shadow of death hanging over one's head all day long, was simply a nightmare.
Until now, Hera still dreams about these things from time to time.
"To be precise, it is the integration of divinity." Mnemosyne sighed and added faintly, "He seems to have forcibly annexed the power of the other Titan gods through some method and dominated their divinity."
No wonder…
There was a thoughtful look in Luo En's eyes, and some doubts that had been brewing in his mind gradually unraveled.
In fact, when he saw Kronos bringing out nine Titan gods to help, he was a little confused.
Among the twelve Titans, it is reasonable for Iapatos, the god of souls and prophecy, and Crius, the god of weather, who are die-hard fans, to stand on the side of Kronos.
It can be considered a normal choice that several Titan gods, including the river god Oceanus and the sea goddess Thesis who lost their daughter Metis, the celestial god Coeus whose divine power was weakened by Zeus's betrayal, the goddess of prophecy Phoebe, and the god of light Hyperion, also joined Kronos.
But Rhea, the goddess of time and the mother of Hera's six siblings, is very caring towards her children. Even if her divine power is constantly stripped away, she may not necessarily continue to follow her husband Kronos to the end.
Before, Loen really couldn't figure out the situation inside. He even had the idea of asking the goddess of memory Mnemosyne to be a lobbyist and find a way to divide and win over the other Titan gods.
But now it seems that it is not that the Titans are choosing sides to follow the old god Kronos and fight to the death with the Olympians led by Zeus, but that they have no choice at all.
I'm afraid that during the time they were cellmates with Kronos, their divinity had been gradually eroded by Kronos in some way, and their power and consciousness had also been dominated by him.
No wonder the eleven Titan temples underground surround the tall tower in the form of many stars surrounding the moon;
No wonder the nine Titans always appear and act together with Kronos;
No wonder the nine Titans didn't say much after they appeared, not even a word to curse Zeus...
It turned out that they had already become puppets controlled by Kronos.
However, Loen was not surprised at all that Kronos could do such a thing.
After all, as the king of the new gods with a touch of humanity, Zeus could barely be described as "anthropomorphic".
As the king of the old gods, Kronos was much more brutal. He had done such cruel things as castrating his father, imprisoning his brothers, and devouring his children.
With these previous records, it was perfectly normal for him to stab his brothers and sisters a few times, consolidate the divine authority, control their power and divinity, and prevent them from betraying him.
Speaking of the integration of divine power, Loen couldn't help but look a few more times at the halo crown with ten divine emblems behind the shadow of Kronos, with confusion on his face.
"He currently only controls the divinity and power of ten Titan Lords. If he is allowed to control the divinity and power of all twelve Titan Lords, does that mean..."
"That's right. Integrating the twelve divine powers and bringing all things together is another way to transcend destiny. At that time, he will at least be on par with Zeus."
Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, nodded, speaking in a low voice.
Twelve is a very special number for the [world]. There are twelve months in a year, and each month can be represented by a god. The old gods have twelve Titans, and the new gods also have twelve Olympian gods. This is a manifestation of [order] and [destiny].
Once the twelve powers that maintain destiny are recovered into one's own body and the order is integrated and reshaped, it will be possible to control the lifeblood of all things and forge a [Crown] to dominate the world.
——This is to return [all things] to [one].
Luo En's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but think of himself.
It seems that his path to becoming a god was also designed by Hecate in this way.
However, his method is to fleece the sheep and give out gold coins to his relatives in a sustainable manner, which is good for everyone; while Kronos directly peels off the sheep's skin and eats the mutton, and in the end, he probably won't leave even a hair of his brothers and sisters, in order to achieve perfection.
Suddenly, Loen seemed to realize something and looked at his mother-in-law opposite him with worry.
"Wouldn't it be dangerous for you to get involved?"
"Will I be safe if I stay on Helicon?"
Mnemosyne waved her hand, looking indifferent.
When Luo En heard this, the guilt that had risen in his heart disappeared.
Indeed, since Kronos has integrated the divinity of the nine Titans except himself and is ready to completely stop being human, then the remaining two Titans are naturally the necessary materials for him to forge the [Crown], and he cannot avoid them.
"Then please stay in War God Mountain for the time being. I will ensure your safety!"
Hearing this solemn promise, Mnemosyne's heart warmed, and the look she gave Loen became softer.
With examples like Hera and Thetis, it is enough to show that the little guy in front of us is a very sentimental person, and he will most likely do what he promised.
This is the difference between him and Zeus and Kronos, and also the reason why I am willing to take the risk of going to Thessaly for him.
Seeing that the atmosphere on the field was somewhat depressing, Mnemosyne showed a gentle smile on his face.
"In fact, the revival of the Titans and the unification of Kronos' divinity are not all bad things."
"for example?"
"The divinity of the twelve main gods is a whole. They are inextricably linked. Since Kronos wants to complete the unification of divinity, he will definitely let the giants jointly sacrifice to all the Titan gods. My divinity and power will also be enhanced simultaneously, so..."
Hearing Mnemosyne's meaningful murmur, a hint of surprise flashed in Loen's eyes.
"Themis is waking up!"
"After all, it's the divine nature that is damaged, so how can it happen so quickly? However, this will definitely greatly shorten the time she spends sleeping."
Mnemosyne chuckled and spoke, then stood up gracefully, smiling and extending her hand to Lorne.
"If it's convenient, take me to see her?"
Of course, Loen did his best to meet this simple request. He quickly stood up and diligently led his nominal mother-in-law into the sanctuary to visit and visit friends.
Hera and Artemis stared in anger as they watched someone escape as smoothly as flowing water.
How come I was seduced by a foreign goddess again? This is not what we agreed on!
"It's just a visit. I won't stay long."
A soothing voice came, and Athena smiled and spoke.
"Once I'm done with this, I'll take you to the Sanctuary to find him. I know that place better than he does."
Hera and Artemis, who were unable to eat meat, could not help but look eagerly at the warm and hospitable goddess of wisdom when they heard this.
Athena responded with a smile, then looked at the empty wine glass in her hand and licked her dry lips.
"But if you want to add me..."
After a brief silence, crisp applause rang out in the hall, and the three goddesses who had once collaborated with each other once again became involved in this crime.
