Chapter 20 Rhea is pregnant
For the eternal gods, time is the least valuable thing, and hundreds of years passed in the blink of an eye.
With the guidance of Taron, Kronos led other Titans to create life, which was indeed a great achievement. As the world of Chaos developed rapidly, it also increasingly recognized the new king of gods.
Kronos could clearly feel that his power was growing stronger. With the blessing of the world, the speed at which his divine power grew even exceeded that of Oceanus, who had given birth to countless children.
This increase in strength finally gave him some confidence. At least he no longer had to worry about his brothers and the Titans who were more powerful than him posing a threat to him.
During the hundreds of years of his efforts, his queen, Rhea, the goddess of fertility and time, has always been by his side, and the relationship between the two is extremely sincere.
On this day, on the majestic sacred mountain, Queen Rhea found King Kronos with indescribable excitement.
Rhea looks like a very beautiful and delicate girl. At this moment, her eyes and eyebrows are filled with joy, making her look lively and stunning.
Looking at Rhea like this, Kronos couldn't help but smile a little more. He reached out and embraced his beautiful wife.
"Oh, my beautiful Queen, what happened to make you so happy?"
"Great God King, my love, this will definitely make you happy too!"
Rhea smiled and touched her flat belly with great happiness, her voice full of sweetness: "We are finally going to have a child!"
The smile on Kronos' face froze, and he widened his eyes in disbelief. He was so shocked that he couldn't even control his expression for a moment.
However, Rhea was completely immersed in happiness and sweetness at the moment and did not notice anything unusual about Kronos.
Ever since he learned about Uranus' curse and the prophecy about himself from Taron hundreds of years ago, Kronos has been trying his best to delay the arrival of this curse.
The curse said that he would be overthrown by his own child, so he tried not to be close to Rhea for fear that Rhea would give birth to his child.
But this is only temporary. As the king of gods, and Rhea as the queen of gods, they are destined to give birth to offspring. This is the will of the world, and they cannot resist it.
All of Kronos' efforts were just to make this day come later and later, so that he would have enough time to find a way to deal with it.
But when this day finally came, Kronos panicked and found that he was far from ready.
It has only been a few hundred years, he is not strong enough, and the will of the Chaos world has not yet fully recognized him. How could Rhea be pregnant at this time?
Looking at the beautiful girl in his arms who was already looking forward to the appearance of his future child, Kronos felt a chill all over his body and could hardly control his emotions.
He kept recalling Uranus's last resentful look and Taren's flat voice:
——What has happened will happen again, and what has been done will be done again!
Rhea waited a long time for Kronos to speak. She raised her head in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Your Majesty, we finally have our own child. Aren't you happy?"
Rhea didn't know the content of the curse, nor did she know what Kronos was afraid of and worried about. She was just envious of her other Titan brothers and sisters who had given birth to so many offspring over the past few hundred years.
Now that she finally had her own child, she felt instinctively happy, but at the same time puzzled by Kronos's reaction.
Facing Rhea's puzzled gaze, Kronos forced a smile and said with difficulty: "No, my love, I am very happy. I am just surprised because this is a bit sudden."
"It's been hundreds of years, Your Majesty. It's time for us to have a child," Rhea said with a smile. "It will definitely be a healthy and intelligent child, and as brave as you."
Kronos' eyelids twitched when he heard this. He was in no mood to continue talking, so he found an excuse to send Rhea away, and then sat alone in the huge temple, silent for a long time.
In the quiet hall, Kronos seemed to have turned into a lifeless stone statue.
The last resentful look of the previous generation of gods Uranus has always been like a thorn in Kronos' heart, and has never been pulled out over the years.
He could only try his best to ignore the existence of the thorn, but today, he was still stabbed and bled profusely.
"I can't just wait for the curse to fall. I have to do something."
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Kronos finally made up his mind and decided to take action, because he was the most courageous king of gods, and passive waiting had never been his style.
Kronos left the sacred mountain and came to the earth, to the residence of Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth.
Since the rule of the previous generation of God King Uranus ended, Gaia no longer interfered in the affairs between the gods, but returned to the earth and slowly recovered her own essence that had been consumed over the years.
Gaia was surprised by Kronos's visit, but she still received him and took the initiative to ask:
"My child, the great God King Kronos, what is the matter with you coming to see me?"
Kronos hesitated, not knowing how to speak, but in the end, the fear of the curse prevailed.
He told Gaia the details of the curse, and then asked Gaia to abort the child in the belly of the goddess of time, Rhea, so that his descendants would not overthrow his divine power.
The greatest power of Gaia, the Earth Mother Goddess, is the right to reproduce. She is the only one in the world who can make a conceived child disappear.
This was a solution Kronos had thought about for several days. As long as he had no offspring, the curse would never come true.
But Gaia was furious when she heard this. She frowned and said sternly, "Kronos, have you forgotten why your father Uranus was driven from the throne?!"
"He stuffed the child I had already given birth to back into my body. Those who violate the laws of reproduction are unworthy of becoming the God King, and a God who cannot give birth is even less qualified to be the ruler of all gods!"
"Kronos, put away your ridiculous idea. Not only will I not take away Rhea's child, I will also bless her! She will definitely give birth to your child!"
After saying that, Gaia directly drove Kronos out of the temple without giving him any chance to speak.
Kronos looked at the door that closed tightly in front of him, with a bitter expression on his face, but there was nothing he could do about it.
