Pontus stared at Tyche, sat up abruptly, his face contorted with deeper anger.
"You already possess the Sky Domain, and you must have discovered it! The Sky Domain has the potential to birth primordial gods!"
"There is nothing wrong with us pursuing godhood, but the existing primordial gods will not allow us to succeed!"
The primordial sea god's anger vanished instantly, and his fervent, obsessive expression made Tyche's heart pound.
The goddess couldn't help but ask, "How can you guarantee that primordial gods who haven't yet developed personalities will keep their promises? Aren't you afraid they're just deceiving you?"
"The power of primordial gods is indeed immense; even violating the oath of the Styx cannot cause a primordial god's demise." Pontus's eyes gleamed as he murmured, "But my mother, Gaia, the Earth Mother, her threat will make the primordial gods dare not break their oaths. The weakness that comes from breaking an oath will be their fatal flaw!"
Among the five primordial gods, Gaia, who was the first to develop a personality, along with Erebus and Nyx, who shared the same origin, were undoubtedly the most powerful. Eros and Tartarus, when united, were not inferior to them, forming a stable triangle.
The abyss that eroded the earth had always been hostile to Gaia. Naturally, the Earth Goddess would not stand idly by while Tartarus developed a personality. In fact, any primordial god developing a personality would threaten the Earth Goddess's status. The Earth's rejection of the children of the two dark primordial gods was the best evidence.
Tyche left Pontus's temple. Her original plan to observe Eros up close was no longer necessary due to Pontus's candor. Such secrets were enough to satisfy the goddess. The power of the Secret Domain and the History Domain surged, proving that these secrets hidden by the primordial gods indeed held astonishing value.
Upon returning to the island, the goddess also welcomed long-awaited visitors. The nymphs fearfully retreated into their companion trees, and the terrifying Furies withdrew into their caves. Only Cannas and the Rainbow Goddesses attended to this distinguished guest.
After dismissing the nervous subordinate gods, Tyche entertained the ill-tempered deity alone.
Tearing a piece of meat from a lamb, Tyche smiled and greeted, "Rhea, your complexion has improved considerably."
The angry queen of the gods was clearly not here to enjoy delicacies, so Tyche had to savor the succulent roasted meat herself.
"If you've come to accuse me, then please leave," Tyche, unwilling to compromise herself with insincere explanations, immediately issued a dismissal.
"The fact that I haven't told every creature with ears about your mess is enough to save your face!"
The goddess's sharp words pierced Rhea like knives. "I told you long ago that I didn't want to be involved in your disputes anymore. It was Cronus who threatened me to get the prophecy!"
"You're just taking out your frustration on me because you can't stop the King of the Gods. I sympathize with you that your cherished love was defiled by Cronus, but I refuse to accept your misplaced anger! Your powerlessness is not a reason for me to bear the consequences!"
Rhea's face flushed with shame, and Tyche's mockery left her with nowhere to hide.
"Instead of coming to trouble me, you'd be better off dragging the King of the Gods out of some goddess's bed. Clever Queen, you truly impress me."
Unable to bear it any longer, Rhea fled, covering her face, the sound of Tyche's mockery still echoing in her ears: "The King of the Gods is blinded by power, and his wife is dazed by love. There is no one in the world more suited for each other than them."
The goddess chased after the queen, speaking righteously and loudly, "Your Highness Rhea, please do not come to my domain again. Your pain should be directed at Cronus; I cannot help you!"
Rhea's panicked flight attracted the attention of the gods. Tyche added fuel to the fire, "Please also tell the King of the Gods that I have given him what he wanted, and ask him not to come looking for me again. My reputation cannot be tainted by the slightest impurity!"
Casually returning to her temple, Tyche continued to enjoy the delicacies prepared for Rhea. The subordinate gods worriedly gathered around to inquire about the queen's visit. Tyche, with a casual air, recounted the story of the King of the Gods obtaining the prophecy to evade the curse, after processing it, to her handmaidens, who were all astonished.
At Tyche's instruction, the story of Cronus receiving the prophecy quickly spread among the gods. The Starry Night Goddess and the Prophecy Goddess were the first to arrive at the Invisible Island. Astrea, looking at Tyche, who was leaning on her seat with a pale face, solicitously brought her a cup of water. Phoebe whispered, "We rushed over as soon as we heard the news. How dare you give him a prophecy?"
Tyche leaned weakly on the Starry Night Goddess's shoulder, her breath faint. "Cronus obtained my invisibility cloak; I had no choice but to give him the prophecy."
The Prophecy Goddess placed her hand on Tyche's chest and sensed the goddess's dim divine fire. With a face full of anger, she declared, "He dared to force the prophecy of fate; he must accept the consequences of being an enemy to the gods of fate."
Astrea gently stroked her friend's long hair with concern. "Poor Tyche, the backlash of fate has torn away half of your divinity from your divine fire. You will fall into a long slumber once more."
After seeing off the two goddesses of fate, who shared her indignation, Iris came to bring the blessings of the Sea Goddess to the main deity.
Tyche, having finally managed to appease her angry mother, welcomed the Dawn Goddess.
Unable to bear the disturbance, Tyche instructed her subordinate gods to inform all visitors that she had fallen into slumber, thus freeing herself.
Helios's sister sent Tyche various fruits from the land, among which the refreshing lemons and citrus were most favored by the goddess. Using slumber as an excuse, Tyche wandered through the orchard hidden in her temple. The mist on the island concealed the goddess's tracks. She casually planted the seeds of the fruits and listened to her handmaidens talk about how the Prophecy Goddess, with the support of the gods of light and sea, was denouncing the King of the Gods. Phoebe publicly condemned Cronus's actions as a desecration of the glory of the gods of fate, causing the King of the Gods' recently improved reputation to plummet again.
The Rainbow Goddesses recounted another major event to the Furies guarding the temple.
The clever Iris whispered to the Furies, "The King of the Gods' second son has been born. This deity, who controls the Tsunami Domain, has caused considerable worry for the goddess Tethys."
"My sister, following the instructions of the Sea Goddess, went to the outer reaches of the world to search for Oceanus, the god of the sea. Pontus has also emerged from the deep sea. It is said that three powerful deities hope for Prince Cannas to compete for the Tsunami Domain. The prince may soon acquire the domain of disaster."
The Furies were not surprised. Alecto analyzed with mock seriousness, "The main deity will undoubtedly fully support Prince Cannas. The will of the four powerful deities will be able to decide the ownership of the Tsunami Domain."
