Chapter 12 Destiny Guidance
With Gaia's consolation and encouragement, someone finally stood up. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and were shocked.
That turned out to be the youngest of the twelve Titans, Kronos, the god of time and space.
Because he was the youngest and the weakest among the twelve Titans, Kronos was different from his brothers and sisters who lived in dire straits every day. He was tortured the least by Uranus.
Uranus's attention has always been focused on the powerful Titans. He would feel it would be a loss of face to attack a weak guy like Kronos.
Just like he cared so much about the prophecy that would be overturned by his children, but never bothered Taren, his arrogance and conceit made him feel that it would be detrimental to his godhood to bother with such a weak guy.
But it was precisely because of this that Kronos, who had escaped the disaster weakly, was not so afraid of him, at least not like his brothers and sisters, who were filled with fear deep in their bones.
He was still afraid. Facing such a powerful God King, it was impossible not to be afraid, so he did not stand up at the beginning.
But with Gaia's persuasion and comfort, he also recognized the essence of the matter.
There is no point in escaping. If you don't resist now, you may never have the chance to resist again in the future.
If he doesn't want to be imprisoned forever, he has no choice but to stand up.
And when they saw that he was the first to stand up, everyone was more than surprised.
"Kronos, do you know what you're saying?" Hyperion, the god of light and the sun, couldn't help but rebuke him in a low voice, "You are so weak! You have no chance of winning against the God King!"
Not only Hyperion, but other Titans were also whispering, thinking it was ridiculous and an impossible task.
"Enough, Hyperion! And all of you, shut up! You have no courage yourselves, yet you attack your courageous brother?"
Gaia interrupted the Titans coldly. The Earth Mother came to her youngest child and her expression softened.
"Kronos, I'm impressed by your bravery, but I still want to ask you one more question: have you made up your mind?"
Gaia looked at Kronos and confirmed seriously:
"This could be very dangerous. Without enough courage, we won't be able to succeed."
Kronos did not back down because of the other Titans' pessimism. He was a god with strong ideas, and once he made up his mind to do something, he would not change it easily.
He nodded solemnly and said without hesitation: "I am willing to try, even if the final result is failure."
"Besides, we've already run out of options, haven't we? If we resist, we might still have a chance. If not, then there's only one outcome."
Gaia excitedly grabbed Kronos' hand and said, "Good boy, I am pleased with your courage. This is how it should be. You are the one I am looking for."
"Fate is indeed on our side!"
At this moment, Gaia finally understood what Taren meant.
Uranus's power is unmatched. Even the twelve Titans combined are no match for him. Therefore, the strength of the divine power is not important. What is important is the courage to resist even if you know the gap is huge and you know there is a high possibility of failure.
Such fearless courage is destined not to be possessed by everyone, so Tarun said that she would easily find the child in the prophecy.
This is indeed the case.
Kronos didn't know that Gaia had already received the guidance of fate. Although he was courageous, he was not reckless. He looked at his mother and asked seriously: "Respected Mother Goddess, what should I do?"
"I don't have weapons that can fight against the God-King, nor do I know how to defeat him and end his brutal rule."
The twelve Titans nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Ever since the prophecy appeared a thousand years ago, the God King Uranus has issued an order to the entire world that any sword that appears cannot escape his detection.
They don't even have weapons, how can they wield swords against the God King?
"My child, this is not important." Gaia said, "Your brothers, the natural god-smiths, the Cyclops, are already forging weapons for us. They are within my body, and not even the God King can detect what they are doing."
After saying this, Gaia couldn't help but sigh about the fickleness of fate again.
If Uranus had not been afraid of the Cyclops' power and stuffed them back into the womb, they would not have been able to build weapons without Uranus's knowledge.
And they happen to be the most outstanding craftsmen in the world.
"As for how to defeat him, perhaps we should follow the guidance of fate." Gaia looked at her children and said so.
…
At the same time, outside the temple of the three goddesses of fate, Uranus was waiting with rare patience.
Finally, he waited for the returning goddesses of fate, but when he looked at the direction they returned, Uranus felt some doubts.
That didn't seem to be the direction of the Land of Eternal Night where Erebus lived.
But he was too lazy to think about it, so he just went straight to meet him.
"Respected three goddesses, have you received answers to the questions I asked?"
The three goddesses looked at the approaching God King and nodded in unison, their voices echoing in unison: "Great God King, we have received the guidance of fate."
"What is it?" Even as noble as the God King, Uranus couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.
"You already know your fate," said the eldest sister Cloto.
Uranus was stunned for a moment, then frowned. "What do you mean? I already knew my fate? That prophecy?"
The goddess of fate did not answer his question. The second sister Lachesis looked directly into the eyes of the God King and said seriously: "Great God King, your destiny is in your own hands."
Before he could speak, his youngest sister, Atropos, had already summed it up: "You are the God King recognized by the world. Apart from this world, no one can shake your position."
As soon as these words came out, Uranus's frown instantly relaxed. He laughed heartily and said with emotion: "Yes, this is a fact I have known for a long time."
He sincerely thanked the goddesses and felt that the stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
He felt that he was being too cautious and it was totally unnecessary, so he completely put the ridiculous prophecy behind his mind and stopped worrying.
He returned to the sacred mountain and found his queen Gaia, and heaven and earth were reunited again.
He was so happy that he didn't notice that Gaia was very silent today, nor did he notice that the weakest of his twelve incompetent and cowardly children had quietly gone to a void space.
