Chapter 75 Reactions of Zeus and Hera

Mount Olympus.

The story of the God of Fire Hephaestus accidentally letting go of the Moon Goddess Selene was told exactly by the Goddess of Hatred Styx and the Goddess of Violence Bea.

This set off a storm of discussion in certain circles.

Facing the God of Fire who still maintained a neutral tendency, some people were relieved, but some people's hearts were still hanging in the sky.

Zeus was also troubled by this. He complained to Hera on the side: "Your eldest son is not of the same mind as us..."

Hera glanced at him: "Metis and we are not of the same mind."

Zeus only felt that his head hurt even more. The fight between Hera and Metis had already begun, but it was not difficult to see from Metis's fate that he was leaning towards Hera.

Metis is still imprisoned in his mind.

He knew that he was in the wrong, so he did not argue with Hera, but talked about business.

"The person who was hiding in the dark that day was still not found, and there were no traces left for tracking."

"But there are actually not many people who are capable of playing hide-and-seek with us. Who do you think it will be?"

Hera was a little surprised: "Didn't your thunder hurt Him? Didn't you even recognize you?"

"No." Zeus shook his head. "He didn't use his roots at all. In that light, there were also chaotic forces that were forcibly gathered together, including jealousy, war, anger, water, and everything else."

Hera frowned when she heard this, and then she seemed to have thought of something, and looked at the "lightning" placed sideways next to the throne of Zeus, which represented the authority of his god-king.

"Lightning" is not alone now. Beside it are placed the trophies belonging to Hera - two other "spears" from the same origin as it.

The names of these two spears are "Thunder" and "Thunderbolt" respectively. Together with "Lightning", they are all from the hands of the three Cyclops brothers, the descendants of the god Uranus.

So Hera could reasonably suspect that the god Ouranos was not clean.

She also said this: "Is it possible that Uranus did it? After all, "Thunder" and "Thunderbolt" are both his descendants."

Zeus looked stunned when he heard this. He yelled at Hera: "It should... have nothing to do with Uranus..."

"'Thunder', 'Lightning' and 'Thunderbolt' were all mine in the beginning, but later...you also know that during that time I had nothing and relied heavily on the wisdom of Metis..."

Hera had nothing to say. She was already saving face for Zeus by not pointing it out, but it was impossible, absolutely impossible for her to pretend that nothing had happened.

The atmosphere seemed to be subtly awkward for a moment...

Fortunately, over the long years, Zeus had gotten used to it and found a step for himself.

He said: "Actually, I doubt the Knicks."

Hera glanced at him and responded as she wished: "Why?"

Zeus: "Do you remember, Hephaestus had a fight with Nyx."

"Although none of us saw it with our own eyes, the fire that fell from the sky that day has confirmed his identity."

"Furthermore... the new gods bred by the Knicks have never been restless. They have been secretly competing for their faith. This has something to do with her."

"So I hope it's her, she will be a formidable opponent."

Hera thought for a moment and quickly agreed with Zeus' statement. She replied: "Since I can't find anyone, I'll let her be her for the time being."

"It's just that it's difficult for us to effectively restrict her. The god Ouranos still has the earth goddess Gaia as his enemy. What should she do?"

"Are you going to talk to Tartarus, the god of the abyss?"

Zeus shook his head: "No need."

"Nix has almost no enemies, so we may not be able to provoke Tartarus."

"And Hephaestus, depending on your son's attitude this time, he may not take action against Nyx."

"But just because Nix is ​​difficult to deal with, it doesn't mean that the children she gave birth to will be the same."

"I don't believe that none of the new gods granted authority by Nyx is unmoved. At least, I don't believe that Ouranos can endure it."

"In this endless secret war, Ouranos, he has plundered more than us. There is no way he can look back."

Hera nodded, and she suddenly said: "There is one more thing."

"Nix, when did she join us? Why is she also plundering? Also, who are she plundering? Why haven't we received any news at all?"

Zeus: "I'm also wondering about this. The authority she gave to those new gods has nothing to do with the origin of the night, which means that she is also a member of the secret war, but how did she do it so silently?"

"I have already asked Athena to investigate, but no clues have been found."

Hera couldn't help but show fear when she heard this: "She is an old antique after all."

"It's better to leave some of those new gods for her, otherwise if she dies, she may not be willing to stop fighting for faith."

Zeus nodded: "I am measured."

"But you still need to discuss matters with Demeter about Artemis. I have some conflicts with her daughter Persephone, and it is not convenient to see her now."

Hera asked him: "Are you going to let Selene go?"

Zeus pondered for a moment, and then explained: "Selene has gone to the underworld. Counting the days, Hades should also recover."

"And over the years, during the days when Persephone became the Queen of Hades, Selene has been deliberately staying close to her."

"I didn't react at that time..."

"But the bottom line is still the same. You ask Demeter to tell Persephone that Selene can stay in the underworld, but the authority of the moon must stay in Olympus!"

"I understand." Hera stood up from the golden throne and walked around the huge space in the palace.

She suddenly looked back and asked Zeus a question: "My husband, do you think the faith started and promoted by us will be the next secret war?"

"When we withdraw from the secret war and choose to embrace faith, will we step from one quagmire into another?"

Zeus lowered his head after hearing this. His expression was stern, and he looked down through the clouds at the earth beneath his feet and the humans on the earth.

"It will be like this." He replied. "In fact, we have personally started another secret war, but its name is called the War of Faith."

"The only essential difference between it and Secret War is one point."

"We lead the war of faith, just like Ouranos leads the secret war."

Hera looked at him: "This is a brand new path, and it may not be better than the secret of Uranus."

Zeus: "But it can't be worse, can it?"

"You also know that the current upper limit of the hidden path is Ouranos, but as for him, he has not even been able to restore his old glory."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Hera with piercing eyes: "Instead of being unable to see the future on the secret road, it is better to fight on the road of faith."

"I have a hunch that I will be another person who sets foot on greatness after Ouranos and Hades!"
