Chapter 12: Amphitrite, Queen of the Sea
The death-like eternal silence filled the vast ocean.
The vast sky seemed covered by a black dress, and the sun, moon, and stars had all disappeared.
In horror, Oceanus looked at the endless darkness with a deathly hesitant expression.
The main god rank was already standing at the top of the gods.
Even in the face of Olympus, the king of the gods, although he was afraid of the three, also had the courage to confront them.
But even in the glorious era when the Titans ruled the world, he never dared to offend this incredible being that symbolized eternal sleep.
Nyx, the goddess of the night, was one of the five primordial gods. She was the oldest, most powerful, and unfathomable existence among the gods.
Even her mother, the grandmother of the gods, Gaea, the Lord of the Earth, also needed to be afraid of three.
Since the end of that ancient age of obscurity, three kings of the gods have ruled the world. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Among the five oldest primordial gods, except for the mother Gaea, three had never appeared again.
Only this goddess of the night, the master of the night, still had occasional activities.
But why would one’s mere lecturing of a few descendant gods trigger the appearance of her power?
For a short moment, Oceanus thought a lot in his mind.
The endless darkness engulfed his body.
In the eternal sleep-like silence, a single moment was as if thousand years had passed.
When the darkness faded, Apollo and the others just felt stunned.
But they saw the original imposing ocean god, quivering and kneeling on the sea’s surface, with a pair of fearful eyes, and the entire person instantly aged a lot.
“This is simply a piece of divine power left in me by Goddess Nyx,” Hecate replied, “but if you, Lord of the Ocean, continue to bully us, the descendent gods, then I will have to go to the Underworld, and ask Goddess Nyx to administer justice.”
Asteria said, “Uncle Oceanus, although my father god only has two daughters, my sister and I, which is not as vast as the Oceanic God system’s six thousand gods, if you want to press us with your prestige, then I have no choice but to ask my father and mother god to step in.”
Oceanus stared at the two of them, and his face was filled with solemnity.
Not to mention Nyx, the goddess of the night, with Asteria’s father, mother, and sibling, were one of the twelve Titans of the past, and their strength were not inferior to other gods.
Asteria’s husband was also the son of one of the Twelve Titans, the weather god Crius, although he and Crius were both imprisoned in Tartarus.
But he also had two brothers, Persis, the god of war, and Astraeus, the god of the stars.
The former was a famous wise man among the gods of Titans in the past, alongside his own daughter, Metis, and the god of foresight, Prometheus.
The latter was the father of the star god and the wind god, the ruler who ruled the starry sky and was at the top of the main gods.
If he really provoked so many powerful gods, then his oceanic gods could not bear it.
Feeling Oceanus’ hesitation, Apollo was also a little stunned. He never thought that there were so many powerful gods in his mother’s family.
In reality, the Greek gods were one family; if you identify any god to pull the relationship network, you can extract many powerful gods.
It’s just that the gods often had many descendants. If they were not close, they would not care about the younger generation.
Just like Oceanus, when his daughter Metis was swallowed by Zeus, he didn’t show up at all.
Because he had the most descendants of the gods, with 3,000 sons and 3,000 daughters.
Metis was only one of the three thousand daughters, and naturally, it was not worth his confrontation with the king of the gods.
However, Apollo’s mother, Leto, whose father was the celestial god Cronus and his mother was the goddess of light, Phoebe, had just two daughters, Leto and Asteria.
If they had not already retired for many years, Hera might not even have had the guts to persecute Leto.
The anger of those two Titan gods was not something that anyone could bear.
“So my background is also very strong.” Apollo smiled inwardly.
Instead, his eyes glanced at Hecate.
“I have long heard that she is very close to Nyx, the goddess of the night, but I didn’t expect that she was so close that Nyx especially left her divine power on her body.”
She seemed to sense the surprise in Apollo’s eyes.
Hecate wiped the stain on her face and winked at him proudly.
Asteria asked again: “Uncle Oceanus, if you don’t explain what Achelous did to Apollo, we will never stop with the ocean gods.”
“You… Achelous has been punished, and nothing happened to your sister’s son. This matter is over.”
Oceanus was full of anger.
He thought he had already given face to these younger gods.
If not for the dark and profoundly terrifying image that just remained in his mind, he would have gone straight out and used his strength to teach these juniors a lesson.
“Apollo was not hurt; this is because of his strength. But Achelous, a powerful god who has been famous for a long time, attacked a god who was just born ten years ago. Does the God of the Ocean think we are easy to bully?”
Asteria’s face was full of chills.
She was angry at what happened to her sister and at the persecution of Apollo.
Apollo couldn’t help but be moved by Astrea stubborn appearance.
All along, this aunt had helped her family too much.
“Damn, I’m your elder, the ruler of the gods!”
Seeing Asteria’s attitude, Oceanus was annoyed.
At that moment, a graceful and gorgeous figure suddenly appeared from the depths of the sea.
“Father, it’s true that my brother did something wrong, so let me apologize to Sister Asteria.”
