“”…So, the overall events roughly transpired like this, Your Majesty.”

Under the power of the Divine King, the struggle between the gods above the great sea seemed to come to a temporary halt.

But this was only temporary, and almost everyone could see that, after a bloody clash, both parties in the divine battle had deepened their conflicts.

No one knew in what form these conflicts would erupt, nor when… but this was of no concern to the Wind Gods.

In response to Zeus’s query, Zephyrus simply skirted around the main issue as he narrated the reasons for the conflicts among a few deities. For example, at the beginning, it was the Heavenly Empress who initiated the attack.

His statement was very objective, and Zeus was equally pleased with this impartial assessment.

“So Hera, are you still dissatisfied with the ownership of the Golden Apple? But this was the result we agreed upon beforehand,”

“The victor among the mortals shall determine the owner of the Golden Apple, this was the promise I made before all the gods, and naturally, I will not violate it. As my Heavenly Empress, you should understand me,”

Zeus gave a slight nod to Zephyrus, as if he had just learned of the incident or as if he appreciated the latter’s attitude. Immediately after, his expression turned stern as he spoke reproachfully to Hera.

“Zeus, what do you mean?”

With her eyes wide and gazing at her own wounds, Hera could hardly believe it.

No matter what, I am your wife, and I am the injured party, am I not? Shouldn’t you be standing by my side at a time like this?

With a fierce sweep of her sleeve, Hera pointed in the direction where Keto was.

“Zeus, if it were someone else, it would be another matter, but what is she, that you question me for her? What about the pursuit you just engaged in, who was that behind her—colluding with outsiders in secret, shouldn’t she be taken down by you immediately?”

“Hera, I was never part of Olympus, nor is it your place to judge me. Who I associate with is none of your business to question. What’s this? The Divine King invites deities from all corners of the world to attend my niece’s wedding, yet you want to exclude me, the host? That would truly be a colossal joke!”

With a scoff, at this moment, Keto was fearless.

The Goddess of Life can have dealings with the Lord of Darkness, so what’s wrong with her liaising with the king of the Nine Hells? Yes, Zeus could disregard all this and take her down directly, but if he did, wouldn’t the Divine King’s grand drama have been in vain?

So, just as she expected, Zeus hesitated only for a moment before suppressing the rage in his heart towards Hell.

He simply looked at Keto deeply, and then said indifferently:

“Hera, there is no law in the Divine Court that prohibits deities from making acquaintances with outsiders; as long as she herself has not violated the order of the Divine Court, then no one has the right to judge her.”

“And she is right, the lineage of the Primordial Sea God may have supported Poseidon in the past, but that doesn’t mean they belong to Olympus.”

“Zeus! Don’t you know, whatever fair decision, she is just—”

“Enough!”

Hera was blindsided, having never imagined that the instigator of the divine conflict would inexplicably turn out to be her.

Frustration and dissatisfaction exploded within her heart, as this was the first time Zeus had ever shown her such little regard.

However, to Hera’s wrath, Zeus spoke calmly:

“Hera, I know you are dissatisfied, but in Olympus, I am the Divine King.”

Boom—

As if releasing the frustration brought on by the previous embarrassment, in that instant, the sovereign domain of the ultimate authority descended upon the great sea with Zeus at its center.

In the Mortal World, within the true arena of Zeus, at this moment, even the gods outside the Olympian Pantheon felt the power as vast as a sea of smoke; at this moment, Zeus in their eyes was like the only one in heaven and earth.

“All Gods, let’s stop here. In the name of the Divine King, the wedding shall proceed as usual, and the matter of the Golden Apple will also be concluded. There have been too many incidents today, Nereus, I am deeply sorry for all these unexpected events.”

“Finally, Hera, and my most intelligent daughter, regardless of who’s right or wrong, that you’ve come to blows, as the people closest to me, I truly cannot bear to see you at odds with each other. Come back to Olympus with me, where I will personally mediate your differences.”

With a measured declaration, Zeus withdrew his power.

As his Heavenly Empress, Hera had enjoyed powers, and she should share his concerns. He might support her every vengeful act in secret later on, but today, he wanted this conflict to end.

So, without giving any chance for further arguments, with a flash of lightning, in an instant, the figure of the Divine King disappeared once again.

Only, compared to his previous marital demeanor, Zeus now left with the other deities outside the Divine Court another impression.

Decisive decisions, strict adherence to promises, and formidable strength. No one cared about Zeus being lured away by the mysterious aura anymore, at least not until the news from the Underworld arrived, they all felt, upon leaving this place, the Divine King must have achieved the results he desired.

…

Zeus had left, but the events here were not yet over.

The gaze of those present then focused on Hera and Athena, even the usually unrestrained Poseidon did the same.

Zephyrus did not mention him, but Zeus had issued a silent warning with his aura. Poseidon might scoff at this, but considering that Zeus was admonishing his own wife, he decided to overlook it for now.
