It was indeed through Metis' wisdom and the Magic Potion she concocted that Hestia, Hades, Hera, Demeter, and Poseidon managed to break free from their dark prison and become the pillars of support for Zeus in establishing the new order.
Thus, by exploiting the loophole of the twelve Titan Gods not abiding by the bond of life, Zeus almost effortlessly divided one third of the Titans.
"Whose brilliant idea was this?"
As Luo En listened to the unknown secrets of the Titan war, he couldn't help but ask, his expression subtly betraying whether he wished to praise or mock.
Back then, Metis was still the lawful Queen Goddess beside Zeus. Who would dare to seek an affair with Zeus in front of the Goddess of Wisdom?
Wouldn't they fear that Metis would later turn her attention to whip that person to death?
According to Circe, in the early establishment of Olympus, the original Goddess of Wisdom made quite monumental contributions.
At first, Olympus lacked weapons and divine power, and with few supporters, they were often at a disadvantage in battle.
Guided by Metis, Zeus went to visit the Earth Mother Goddess and was tasked to venture into the abyss of Tartarus, filled with the laws of death.
Confined there were three Cyclopes proficient in forging divine weapons and grand architecture, and three Hekatoncheires with immense strength and battle prowess.
They were ancient Titan Gods singularly created by Mother Earth Gaia and were quite formidable.
However, they were imprisoned in the abyss of Tartarus by Uranus, the Father God, who had a strong desire for control and feared challenges to his status, using their "noise" as an excuse, and guarded by the dragon Campe.
As the chosen son of fate, Zeus did not disappoint. He led his brothers in defeating the malevolent dragon, personally freed the Cyclopes and Hekatoncheires, and allowed them to dwell on the surface.
Thus, the three Cyclopes forged for Zeus the Thunderbolt Scepter capable of controlling thunder, as well as the Aegis Shield that could absorb and reflect damage, in the heart of Mount Etna.
Simultaneously, they crafted for Poseidon the Trident which reigned over the sea, and an invisibility helmet for Hades.
The rest of the gods also received weapons that significantly enhanced their divine power, and with the addition of the Hekatoncheires, their overall strength gradually began to close the gap with the older generation of Titan Gods.
Because Zeus was personally responsible for liberating the three Cyclopes and the three Hekatoncheires, he gained their gratitude.
Furthermore, after they defeated the dragon Campe together, Hades and Poseidon were left to guard the gates while Zeus, citing danger, went ahead to scout.
Consequently, these six grandfather-level monsters all signed contracts with the new Divine King, obeying his commands. Your journey continues on empire
This way, Zeus had three Chief God-level bodyguards and controlled the weapon craftsmen who could curb the gods; his leadership position was increasingly unshakable.
And this strategy of empowering the strong and weakening the branches was naturally Metis' doing.
In addition, the five siblings were all released from Kronos' belly because of this original Goddess of Wisdom, so even if Poseidon and Hades were displeased, they still had to hold their noses and accept the situation.
Thus, Olympus, with the addition of the three Cyclopes and the three Hekatoncheires, plus the wisdom of Metis, were finally able to stand firm in the early battles of the Titan War and grew stronger step by step.
During this process, the Goddess of Wisdom did not rest on her laurels, she secretly implemented various strategies, aiming to continuously divide and weaken the power of the twelve Titans.
First, the God of the Great River Currents, Occhanos, and the Goddess Thetis, though they created 6,000 river and spring gods, making sources of life flow around the world,
They favored no one more than their own daughter Metis.
The Queen Goddess herself easily persuaded her parents to stand by her son-in-law Zeus and brought her five most outstanding siblings to join the fight.
Furthermore, Metis promised the land of the east in the Greece world to the couple of the God of Light and the Goddess of Light Rays, assuring that their progeny, the gods of the Sun, Moon, and Dawn, would not be entangled in the war and could enjoy peace.
Thus, these two also withdrew from the conflict, retreated to the eastern world, and focused on raising their children.
Additionally, the former Queen Goddess Rhea, who was under house arrest by Kronos for releasing her children, indicated in secret after Metis' persuasion that she would not participate in an assault on Mount Olympus.
With these developments, of the twelve Titan rulers on Mount Othrys, only seven remained.
And after Zeus' successful seduction, he also won over four Titans.
After several cuts and reductions, Olympus actually only had to face the former Divine King Kronos, the Titan of Soul and Words Coeus, and the God of Weather Crius.
This was almost a sure win.
But with the war not yet over, letting Zeus court other goddesses was tantamount to undermining the goddess Metis' exclusive status, wasn't that like rubbing salt in the original Goddess of Wisdom's eyes? Who was so bold, not afraid of Metis settling accounts in the autumn?
"It was the good son of the Titan of Speech and Soul, Prometheus, the soothsayer."
Athena, who was indirectly one of the aggrieved, replied wistfully, her expression somewhat helpless.
"To prove himself and pledge allegiance to Olympus, he gave the Divine King the suggestion of division of power, and to ensure that the seduction was foolproof, he also advised the Divine King to seek assistance from Uranus, the Primordial Ocean, the Heavenly Father..."
