Chapter 33 Chapter 10 The Move

Unlike the offspring of the Primordial Gods, the progeny of the second generation of divine beings needed to develop. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

They no longer matured in a mere half-day after birth, like their parents did. Some took months, others an indefinite period; their growth rates varied.

At the same time, the new gods did not possess innate, powerful divine powers. Even the ancient Titans had at least weak divine power at birth, but these new gods, except for very few, mostly started from Divine Power Level 1 and slowly grew from there.

Now, Metis before Laine’s eyes was just like that. Her newborn skin was as smooth as milk, and her pair of black, lustrous eyes didn’t resemble those of a newborn at all. But without a doubt, it would take decades for her to become an adult deity.

This was not only because this was how it should be for the third generation of gods, but also because her origin was not strong.

When she was born, “Wisdom,” “Thought,” and “Strategy” automatically scattered throughout the heavens and the earth, much like “Memory” once had, leaving her with only hydrology.

Unlike Mnemosyne, however, the third-generation gods were not born with knowledge, so she would not realize that she was meant to have these powers.

“Metis… Athena…”

“Perhaps I should take her away?”

Muttering softly, Laine was not worried about being discovered.

Oceanus and Thaesis were indeed strong, but as long as he didn’t show himself near them, it was hard for them to detect him.

This was the absolute nature of Divine Authority, when Laine hid within ‘History’, and with the Spirit Realm as cover, even if there was only a room apart, no one could sense his presence.

“…Never mind. Although destiny has been altered, I still hope the world remains ‘familiar’ until Zeus ascends the throne.”

“Moreover, in the original trajectory, the Goddess of Wisdom didn’t seem all that clever.”

Shaking his head, Laine eventually gave up on his plan.

With Metis’s potential, if he took her back to the Spirit Realm and nurtured her carefully, she would be capable of holding some powerful godhoods.

For instance, “Script,” its origin flowed towards the Spirit Realm every moment. Normally, the presence of the God of Script would to some extent block Laine’s absorption of “Script,” but unfortunately, the Oracle Stone Tablet possessed an even more orthodox source power of script.

Under these circumstances, having another person in charge of a godhood would not only accelerate the Spirit Realm’s absorption rate but would also bring Laine a powerful subordinate in the future.

But in the end, he abandoned this idea. A Goddess of Wisdom who couldn’t even discern her own safety – how was such ‘wisdom’ any different from Prometheus’s ‘forethought’?

In comparison, perhaps her daughter would be a more fitting spokesperson for wisdom.

Having made his decision, Laine stretched out his hand, and three Multifaceted Crystals silently appeared before him. The Spirit Realm’s absorption of the three great godhood origins had just begun, but that did not prevent Laine from solidifying the corresponding godhoods.

Even though they were weak now, as the Spirit Realm absorbed all the scattered origins, they too would return to their rightful heights.

With a gesture, the three crystals fell into the body of the infant girl before him. Simultaneously, Laine’s figure vanished in an instant.

The next moment, the Ocean Deity Sovereign appeared directly beside the bed. He looked around, but found nothing.

The instant Laine conferred the godhoods, he returned from ‘History’ to the present. Oceanus immediately sensed something amiss but was incapable of tracking Laine’s presence.

“What is it?”

Soon after, Thaesis also appeared here. The goddess wasn’t previously in The Temple, but sensing her husband’s sudden burst of Divine Power, she quickly rushed back.

“It’s nothing, might have been my illusion.”

Shaking his head, Oceanus prepared to return. But as his gaze swept over his daughter, his expression suddenly froze.

“Is this… the aura of the Godhood of Wisdom?”

A bit uncertain, Oceanus picked up his daughter, carefully sensing the aura within her. Soon, he not only confirmed his previous sensing but also discovered additional auras of Strategy and Thought.

“Was Metis gifted with other godhoods by the world? Did you sense the presence of Chaos just now?”

Thaesis also noticed the anomaly in her daughter. But since Chaos had never shown the phenomenon of transferring godhood outside of the Sub-Gods, she instinctively thought it to be a gift from the world.

“Perhaps, but that’s not important anymore!” The Ocean Deity Sovereign was not entirely sure, but he was indeed very surprised.

Unlike Pontus’s selective breeding strategy, he was synonymous with casting a wide net. Among his many children, only Styx had a godhood that allowed her to reach Intermediate Divine Power level, while the rest like Clymene and Metis, with Fame and Hydrology, found even achieving Weak Divine Power level a challenge.

But now, with Wisdom, Strategy, and Thought, Metis was destined to become a powerful being like her eldest sister. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

At least Intermediate Divine Power level, and in the distant future, possibly even a mighty Divine Power level—that would be much stronger than many of the ancient Titan gods.

“My brother Iapetus once sought a wife from me, and though he made no demand, my daughters who are less than True Gods do not match his status.”

“I was initially inclined to choose between Clymene and Metis, but it seems now that I don’t need to choose.”

Oceanus was very pleased, and Thaesis nodded in agreement. Bearing many children and spreading the influence of the Ocean god’s lineage across the world, forging alliances with deities through marriage—this was their plan from the beginning.

The mythology of later generations also proved his success. Unlike his other brothers, besides Rhea and Themis, the Ocean Deity Sovereign was the only ancient Titan god who still retained some influence in the era of Zeus.

“I will discuss this matter with Clymene. As the Goddess of Renown, marrying a noble Titan also suits her godhood well; she will be satisfied with this.”

As Oceanus’s wise and supportive wife, Thaesis voluntarily took on this task.

“Good, I hope she can bear my brother a powerful deity. In this way, when we face my uncle in the future, we will have one more ally.”

Nodding to his wife, Oceanus got up and headed to the front hall.

His abrupt departure had surely sparked much speculation among the guests, but now, he could cheerfully share the good news with them.

From this day forth, the name ‘Metis the Wise’ would resound throughout the sea, and no one could criticize him anymore with ‘only quantity, with Styx being just an exception.’

Behind him, Thaesis took another look at her daughter, and then she too left the grand hall.

She had been previously monitoring the currents, preparing to extract the essence from her husband’s domain to combine with her godhood, nurturing a Divine Artifact.

This primitive method of artifact creation was quite ordinary, not as powerful as those made by the Cyclops who had special talents in smithing, but it was still sufficient to serve as a symbol for the Ocean Deity Sovereign.

Thaesis was going to continue preparing for this. As for her daughter Metis, gods are immortal; she did not need to be looked after all the time.
