Sweet words flowed from His mouth that had fully tasted the wisdom goddess's fragrant nectar, like delicious divine wine that intoxicated the wisdom goddess and made her unwilling to wake: "My love, how could I not know of your love for me?"
"No matter what you say, how could I bear to have you leave me? How I wish we could merge into one, forever together, forever and ever never to be separated."
The purple-haired goddess sobbed aloud, her soft voice full of love: "Zeus~~~"
She drew Zeus to her front, her abundant delicate body generously burying Zeus within, her unclear murmurs carrying urgency: "My love, please, please possess me. Since having you, I can no longer bear the feeling of being alone."
Zeus, who originally did whatever he pleased, now struggled to break free from the passionate wisdom goddess.
He kissed the wisdom goddess's lovely face, his lips continuously falling on her beautiful eyes, soft cloud-like brows, elegant nose bridge, and most enchanting cherry lips.
With great willpower barely restraining his paternal instincts, He whispered in the collapsed wisdom goddess's rosy ear: "My love, how I want to possess you right now, how I want us to completely become one, how I want to nurture the most excellent children with you."
"Our child will surely possess my strength and your wisdom. He will be the most excellent and adorable child in this world."
"However, we need a little more time. I need to handle some matters."
The wisdom goddess's thoughts soared to the future following Zeus's description. Her heart had become as soft as her current body, even having thought of the child's name.
She fantasized about a cradle woven with love, nurturing a perfect child possessing both thunder and wisdom.
But hearing Zeus's last sentence, she instantly came to her senses. Her misty eyes recovered some clarity, and wisdom's light rekindled.
She asked puzzledly: "What matters still need handling?"
Zeus's gaze was somewhat evasive, slightly guilty. He breathed hotly in Metis's ear, the warm breath brushing her ear as he said in a low voice: "What we do will be known by Mnemosyne."
Metis instantly understood.
Regarding Zeus, she could be confused about anything, but only concerning other goddesses did she have keen judgment no less sharp than the future Queen of Heaven!
Her originally confused wisdom instantly regained rational clarity. She furrowed her beautiful brows, her lovely lips curving in a half-smile like a rose blooming in the wind—both beautiful and thorny: "Why should Your Majesty the God-King fear this?"
"How would the Goddess of Civilization and Memory dare spy on Your Majesty the God-King?"
"Moreover, how could the proper and refined Goddess of Civilization peep at lovers' private affairs?"
Zeus blinked to hide his guilt, deflecting: "Well, maybe not, but, um... one must guard against this."
"Dear, having our private affairs seen by others wouldn't be good. Wait until I solve this problem—then even if you want to escape, I absolutely won't let you get away."
The amorous divine lord spoke while intimately caressing his beloved goddess. This time the wisdom goddess wasn't so cooperative.
She half-heartedly resisted, her pale slender jade hands lightly pressing against Zeus's chest, seemingly forbidding but actually welcoming his intimate caresses on her fair neck.
Zeus never cared about any curses, much less this time when Kronos didn't even have a chance to utter curses.
He mainly still cared about face (currently). If he became intimate with other goddesses, it would be equivalent to giving Mnemosyne a live broadcast, and a pure, complete, high-definition, uncensored version at that.
Not to mention how embarrassing it would be—who knew what kind of trouble the Goddess of Civilization and Memory, stimulated by jealousy, might cause.
The goddesses here were not background decorations, much less stereotypical characters molded from the same template. Not one was a pushover—each had their own thoughts and tempers, ready to cause trouble at the slightest disagreement.
Many things they could tolerate when unseen, but if displayed before their eyes, they would definitely explode.
When beloved goddesses threw tantrums from jealousy, what could he do? Both palms and backs of hands were flesh—both were his wings!
And there was one most important reason why now wasn't the right time to devour wisdom.
He needed to wait a little longer.
Zeus, as God-King possessing supreme authority and being the Great Father God of the sky, was only one final strategic step away from success.
Once that final strategy succeeded, He could achieve this: by mating with any goddess, He could control her authority.
Then the first one to deal with would be Mnemosyne!
I! Zeus! How can I be constantly understood in every move by a goddess!
It greatly affects world reproduction!
Wise Metis didn't believe Zeus's words. Playful light flickered in her shrewd eyes, still half-smiling: "My love, my Your Majesty the God-King, do you know the Goddess of Civilization and Memory looks at you the same way as Lady Night?"
"Ah? Really?" Zeus looked completely bewildered, pure and innocent—a paragon of acting skill.
Metis laughed mockingly, her soft voice carrying a trace of reproach: "My love, it seems you also know Lady Night's gaze toward you is unusual."
"What? Oh~ My love, what are you talking about?" Zeus continued playing dumb.
Metis was quite helpless, spring water flowing in her charming eye-roll as she scolded: "Dear! You're acting too fake!"
Zeus seemed to fall into contemplation, saying nothing.
Metis gave Zeus another charming eye-roll, her myriad charms making Zeus dizzy.
But his beloved goddess's next words made his heart panic.
The wisdom goddess's slender pale jade finger lightly brushed Zeus's cheek, her movement gentle as she said sweetly: "Good! Then I'll go tell them right now that you have no feelings for them whatsoever!"
"I'll go demand that Lady Mnemosyne never pay attention to you again!"
The wise goddess spoke as if to rise, but was shamelessly pressed down by Zeus, who said without shame: "Dear, doing that would hurt your relationships—it's completely unnecessary. Seeing your originally close relationships turn bad would truly break my heart."
The gentle wisdom goddess smiled sweetly, her soft hand gently stroking Zeus's cheek. Her tender gaze was full of cunning as she said gently: "It's fine, my love. I've never been familiar with them anyway. Such warnings, I think, are very necessary."
"Uh..."
Zeus was speechless.
Seeing Zeus's troubled appearance, Metis's heart silently rippled with waves woven of love and sourness, but ultimately couldn't bear her beloved's embarrassment and voluntarily pressed her lips to Zeus's.
It was a kiss light as a feather yet containing deep affection like an abyss—all the ocean daughter's tenderness and sighs condensed within.
Her lips were slightly cool yet carried the secret fragrance of ocean depths.
When their lips parted, she gazed tenderly at Him, her wise golden eyes lingering with deep affection as she spoke in a voice that could melt ancient glaciers: "My love, a God-King as brilliant and dazzling as you, gathering all the starlight of the universe—how could only one star like me orbit and be enchanted by you?"
The wisdom goddess's eyes sparkled with fluorescence: "My love, you are so transcendent and extraordinary, so magnificent and remarkable that in this boundless world, no deity comparable to you can be found."
"All noble goddesses in the universe are captivated by you—who could resist your glory? Their hearts all follow your brilliance."
"They love you, admire you. I only feel supreme pride for you—how could I bear to blame you in the slightest for this?"
Zeus's heart was violently struck by this sincere deep affection, raising towering waves.
Any carefully woven flowery words seemed pale and powerless, beyond description, before his beloved goddess's pure and thorough true feelings.
He could only use the most primitive, most direct actions to vent the love surging in his chest at this moment.
With arms capable of embracing heaven and earth, He held his beloved purple-haired goddess even more tightly, more firmly.
Once again, with an even more burning, deeper kiss, He sealed all her unfinished words.
Two supreme deities lingered entwined together, divine light merging, breaths mingling. The flowing clouds atop Mount Olympus existed for them, and the sunlight in the air seemed to flow with the luster of honey and gold.
At least in this moment, the emotions flowing between both parties were incredibly sincere—the concentrated sweetness penetrating eternal time was so pure, so ardent, without a trace of worldly impurity.
The heat of skin contact ignited flames deep in their divinity; intimate whispers were the soul's most tender symphony.
When love was deep as the sea, two hearts no longer distinguished between you and me.
In the depths of divine trembling and throbbing, it was always thus—perfectly unified.
Two hearts as one, no distinction between each other—when passion reached its depths, the world contained only you and me.
When the lingering breaths finally separated, the misty air seemed to still retain traces of tender warmth.
The wise goddess still nestled in her lover's embrace, gazing infatuatedly at her beloved God-King, looking at His perfect divine countenance while forcibly restraining the bitter waves in her heart.
Incredibly gentle words flowed from her lips like newly bloomed cherry blossoms: "My love, dear Hera hasn't been in a good mood lately."
"She seems to want to move away from Olympus. I think you should go see her."
Hearing this, Zeus's expression showed obvious bewilderment. Before He could speak, the wisdom goddess had already smiled sweetly, her smile seemingly carrying heart-breaking tenderness.
Her slender pale fingers, carrying the ocean daughter's unique coolness and delicacy, gently caressed His chiseled handsome face as she said softly: "My love, how could I bear for you to be unhappy? How could I bear to see the slightest worry cloud your brow?"
"Go quickly, go comfort that noble heart that also loves you deeply. I must also go entertain father god and my sisters."
