Gaia’s refusal of Prometheus’s prophecy wasn’t just because she was angry about what happened to Cronus — more importantly, it was her pride as a primordial god.
She was the first living being in this world, the mother of all gods, the nurturer of all things — even the King of the Gods Uranus was born from her.
But Prometheus?
He was just her junior.
Why should a junior solve her problems?
So Gaia turned Prometheus away and secretly decided to use her own powers and methods to fight against Uranus!
Her actions also gave hope to the twelve Titan gods, who had been deeply oppressed by the King of the Gods for years.
Uranus was so strong that it seemed impossible to resist — but that didn’t mean the twelve Titans didn’t hope for someone to stand up to him.
It was just that they had endured such a bitter, miserable life for so long that they had gradually become numb.
And in their eyes, the only one who could go head-to-head with the mighty King of the Gods — who wielded the power of creation — was Gaia, the Mother Goddess of all things.
So even before the Cyclopes were born, the gods were already eagerly waiting.
But what they didn’t expect was that although the three Cyclopes were powerful, they were still far from enough against the King of the Gods.
They had barely been born — before they could even see what they looked like — they were already sealed away forever.
The King of the Gods’s power was simply despairing.
But soon they realized Gaia hadn’t given up — she began to unite with Uranus again, trying to nurture even stronger life.
What’s more, this time, the rhythm of the cosmic laws was even stronger than when the three Cyclopes were conceived!
This meant that the god Gaia would give birth to this time would be even stronger than the Cyclopes!
So the gods — who had been disappointed by the Cyclopes’ sealing — once again began to look forward to it.
They were so eager that they couldn’t help but gather to discuss what kind of divine power Gaia would give birth to this time.
“With the laws shaking like this, it must be supreme divine power from birth!” After carefully sensing it, the ocean god Oceanus said, his eyes full of surprise.
“This time, the outcome might be very different!”
“Even supreme divine power might not be enough against the King of the Gods…” Coeus, the god of wisdom and foresight, couldn’t help but say.
“What if it’s a material god with power above supreme divine power?” The sun god Hyperion said.
“As long as a few more come, even the King of the Gods couldn’t handle them so easily.”
“Yes — isn’t the King of the Gods also born from the great Mother Earth?
Since the Mother Earth could give birth to someone as powerful as the King of the Gods, she must also be able to create an existence that can oppose him.” Iapetus said.
The other gods couldn’t help but nod silently when they heard this, their eyes filled with even more eager anticipation.
They seemed to see their hard days…
finally coming to an end!
But just as the gods were eagerly awaiting and celebrating, a voice suddenly appeared:
“Your Highnesses, do you really think this matter can be solved by the great Mother Goddess alone?”
The gods were startled by the voice, then looked over and saw a face that made their emotions extremely complicated.
It was Prometheus.
The gods had a love-hate relationship with this god of prophecy.
They hated that his prophecy had brought everyone into such a situation — yet they couldn’t deny that every prophecy he spoke came true.
Except for one god with an extremely faint aura — that one felt pure hatred.
“Who sent him here?!”
Cronus, who had been standing silently in the corner, couldn’t help but scold Prometheus upon seeing him.
“I did.”
A cold voice rang out.
The Goddess of Order — dressed in a white gown, with dazzling golden hair and a layer of white cloth covering her eyes — stepped forward and said calmly:
“I think we need more prophecies.
Is there a problem?”
Cronus gritted his teeth and said nothing more.
There was no helping it — after all, his aura was so weak at this moment.
After being split into four parts, Cronus had completely become a “useless god.”
The other gods looked at each other, but in the end, it was the ocean god Oceanus who spoke, asking, “Themis, what do you mean by this?”
“Don’t you want to know what the future holds?”
Themis’s voice remained calm, but carried a force of law that was hard to ignore: “Don’t you want to know when order will return?”
The gods fell silent.
How could they not want to know?
However, when it came to Prometheus, they still felt a bit reluctant to accept him.
After all, he was just their junior — and because of the previous prophecy, their feelings toward him were even more complicated.
In the end, it was still Prometheus’s father — Iapetus — who spoke up somewhat irritably: “Then what prophecy do you have?
Go ahead!”
Prometheus felt a bit helpless toward his father, who had always been the most restless.
Seeing all the gods looking at him, he cleared his throat and said:
“I have two prophecies.”
“The first prophecy is that the King of the Gods Uranus will rule the world for a hundred years.
After a hundred years, he will be overthrown, and a new era will arrive.
Everyone present here…”
At this point, he smiled and said deliberately, “Will all become the strongest and noblest beings in the new era.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the gods all widened their eyes.
Almost as soon as Prometheus finished speaking, the twelve Titans sensed the power of destiny — making it clear to them that this prophecy was true.
So they couldn’t help but rejoice.
But it wasn’t because of future honor — it was because such oppressive days were not eternal.
They even found Prometheus much more pleasing to the eye now.
“Then what is the second prophecy?”
Just as the gods were cheering and celebrating, the calm and composed ocean god Oceanus — not blinded by delight — cautiously asked.
“This rebellion by the Mother Goddess Gaia is doomed to fail.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the gods who had been rejoicing froze in place, each staring blankly at Prometheus.
This new prophecy was like a bucket of cold water — completely extinguishing the hope they had just ignited.
The impatient Iapetus blurted out: “How is that possible?
If even the great Mother Goddess Gaia can’t stand against the King of the Gods, then who can?”
“If that’s the case, then the ‘new era’ you’re talking about — aren’t you just deceiving us?”
Prometheus smiled helplessly at this: “Gaia can’t stand against Uranus — so…”
“The one who will ultimately end Uranus’s rule will be Uranus’s eldest son.”
As soon as these words were spoken, all the gods turned to look at Oceanus the ocean god — and Oceanus…
was completely stunned on the spot.
“I…
Me?”
Oceanus pointed at himself, his face full of disbelief.
