Gaia returned to Mount Kinabalu, but her emotions remained unsettled.
Theron, that weak God of Prophecy, was actually the father of the Three Fates?!
Even after witnessing it with her own eyes, Gaia still found it incredible.
This discovery reminded her of many things she had never considered before: Why had Theron been born before the other Primordial Gods yet remained so weak?
And how could such a weak deity have foreseen the fate of the God-King?
Because he was Fate itself, and fate was something that could never be controlled.
Only things that had already happened could be considered fixed.
Anything that had yet to happen could only be called a prophecy.
This also explained why Theron had been able to grow from a weak existence whose divine form could not even stabilize into a deity possessing Weak Divine Power within just a thousand years.
That rate of growth was actually astonishing, because he had been continuously pushing the development of fate.
From the moment he gave her the Prophecy to the guidance he had given her now, he had already anticipated everything that would happen.
He was not the God of Prophecy at all.
He was the God of Fate!
The divine office he had been unable to control, the one that had required the God-King’s recognition to solidify, was not the insignificant divine office of Prophecy.
It was the supreme and mysterious authority of Fate itself.
That was also why he had been able to give birth to the Three Fates together with the noble Goddess of Night.
Their ability to glimpse the threads of destiny had come from Theron’s gift.
Ironically, Uranus had no idea what a generous gift his casual remark had created—a gift that would eventually cost him his throne as the God-King.
He knew nothing of this and still regarded Theron as an insignificant existence, someone who was not even worthy of a second glance.
His arrogance and pride would eventually make him pay the price.
Having understood everything, Gaia was amazed by the unpredictability of fate, but even more so by the unexpected joy it had brought her.
She finally believed Theron’s words.
If he truly was the great God of Fate, then the Prophecy he had spoken a thousand years ago would surely come true.
Uranus would be overthrown by his own child, and one of his relatives would help that child.
Gaia’s initial doubts about Theron’s weakness completely disappeared, and she chose to firmly believe in the guidance of fate.
Meanwhile, the Twelve Titans, once again tormented and humiliated by Uranus, desperately came to Gaia, the Earth Mother Goddess, seeking her protection.
For thousands of years, this had always been the case.
Whenever they reached their limits, they would seek Gaia’s protection, and Gaia would always step forward, enduring Uranus’s demands so that her children could have a brief respite.
But this time, she did not do so.
Uranus did not want to completely sever his relationship with Gaia, especially with the Prophecy still weighing on his mind. Get faster updates on g.com.
Instead, he had gone to the Temple of Fate again to await the Three Fates’ response.
Unbeknownst to him, while he was away from the Sacred Mountain, a conversation that would shake the entire world was taking place.
Gaia looked at her twelve children, their bodies covered in injuries, and felt an overwhelming ache in her heart.
She carefully healed their wounds, her expression filled with uncontrollable sorrow.
“My poor children.
Your injuries are heartbreaking.
How could your father, that merciless God-King, treat you with such cruelty?”
The Twelve Titans were all suffering terribly from Uranus’s torment and were in extremely poor condition.
Only by relying on Gaia could they obtain even a brief moment of respite.
“Children, I have had enough of these miserable days, and I believe you have as well.
So why don’t we put an end to this wretched existence?”
The Twelve Titans’ expressions changed instantly.
They stared at the benevolent Earth Mother in astonishment, as though they could hardly believe that such words had come from her.
“That tyrannical monarch has harmed you, violated my laws of fertility, and imprisoned your brothers within my body for eternity.
This goes against nature and the will of the world.
He is no longer worthy of being the God-King!”
Gaia coldly recounted everything.
The love and sweetness of the past had completely vanished.
Nearly a thousand years of suffering had left her with nothing but hatred and resentment toward Uranus.
The Twelve Titans sensed Gaia’s determination.
They had never expected that the relative who would help them according to the Prophecy from a thousand years ago would actually be this benevolent Earth Mother.
But then again…
What relative could be closer than their mother?
However…
“Our power is too weak.
We are no match for the God-King.”
Oceanus, the God of the Ocean Current, could not help speaking, his voice filled with unconcealed fear.
He was one of the strongest among the Twelve Titans, yet just as when he had faced Theron, he had absolutely no courage to defy Uranus.
The other Titans fell silent as well, and none dared to speak.
After nearly a thousand years of torment, their fear of Uranus had become ingrained in their very souls.
Moreover, the difference in strength between the two sides was simply too great.
Uranus was the God-King recognized by the world.
His divine power had surpassed that of the Primordial Gods and reached the level of Creation Divine Power.
Even if the Twelve Titans and Gaia joined forces, they would not be enough to withstand a single hand of Uranus.
What difference was there between resisting him and throwing away their lives?
Gaia’s gaze swept across her twelve children one by one.
Every Titan who met her eyes lowered his head, unable to meet her gaze.
Gaia immediately felt deeply disappointed.
She neither urged nor blamed them.
Instead, she calmly said, “You may choose to remain silent, but you must understand that your Father God will never allow any powerful being to exist.”
“In merely a thousand years, you have already reached the level of Greater Divine Power.
What about the future?
How long do you think that tyrannical God-King will allow you to continue existing?”
“One day, the God-King will feel threatened and move against you.
You will be imprisoned for eternity, just like your brothers.
At that time, even I will be unable to save you.”
Gaia spoke the most brutal truth in the calmest possible tone, and those words completely shattered the Twelve Titans’ self-deception.
They all knew very well that if they did not resist, there was only one outcome.
Sooner or later, that God-King would imprison them for eternity.
And that day would not be far away.
Seeing the change in her children’s expressions, Gaia softened her voice and spoke with firm conviction.
“Do not be afraid.
Fate is on our side.”
“We will definitely succeed.
There may be setbacks along the way, but we will definitely succeed.”
The Earth Mother’s confidence encouraged the Titans and eased some of their anxiety, yet no one had the courage to step forward.
Just when Gaia was about to give up completely, someone finally spoke.
“Mother Goddess, I can give it a try.”
