Chapter 169 You Symbolize Perfection!

Lemnos island.

Hephaestus could not successfully return to his abode.

He was intercepted by someone, it was Cronus, the former god king.

"Where's Rhea?"

"You should have seen her." Kronos asked.His expression was calm, as if he had already understood.

His tone didn't seem to be asking, but more like verifying.

problem occurs!
Hephaestus was absolutely sure.

But he didn't understand what happened.

"I did," he replied.

"But it seems you shouldn't be asking me."

"No one should know her whereabouts better than you."

Cronus still had a cold face. "It is because I understand that I am here to ask you."

"Now I know the answer."

Hephaestus looked at him.Sadness is hidden in the eyes of the former god king in front of him, will he be sad too?
"What's the answer?" Hephaestus asked. "You seem to need my help, and I am willing to help you now."

Kronos was silent for a moment.

"Nothing to do with you."

He was silent for a moment, and then said:
"When are you going to start?"

Hephaestus knew what he meant, he was asking when to strike Gaia.

Then it becomes clear that this matter has something to do with Gaia.

It's a pity that there is too little news, and Hephaestus doesn't know why.

But this did not prevent him from responding to Cronus, because although Cronus was silent at this time, Hephaestus could see that he was different, and there was fire in his eyes.

As the god of fire, Hephaestus knew no better than this flame, the flame of vengeance.

This made his words cautious: "Not yet."

After thinking about it, Hephaestus continued: "But hurry up, she won't be relaxed for a few days."

Kronos on the opposite side suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, his gaze became extremely aggressive, as if hiding a beast, or...

The king who decides life and death!

His tone suddenly became very cold: "Are you waiting for Zeus? Waiting for him to really become king?"

"Then you know, Gaia is also waiting."

"The longer you wait, the less chance you have."

Hephaestus narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.He didn't like Cronus' attitude.

His tone also became tough: "Really?"

"I think your heart is disturbed, is it because of Rhea? She went to Chaos but didn't come to you?"

"I noticed that you have become weaker, not as good as the you I saw before."

Yep, Kronos got weaker.

Even though he was very strong, he couldn't hide it from his opponent Hephaestus.

Yes, opponents are the hardest to hide, and the Eternal Great has no allies, only opponents.

Kronos hesitated slightly, but his momentum did not weaken at all.

Maybe...he didn't intend to hide it.

But he didn't seem to want to say more.

He just calmed down.

"Indeed, my heart is disturbed."

"But I can wait until Zeus becomes king."

"I will also fight against Gaia."

"But I want to remind you that Gaia is not what you think. Even if you have already regarded her as a difficult opponent, she will only be more difficult than you imagined."

His figure gradually became unreal, and Hephaestus knew he was leaving.

but……

Kronos suddenly lagged at the moment of leaving, and he suddenly said: "Besides, I have become weak."

"But only because my opponent is stronger."

"You'd better prepare early, your mother's situation may not be good."

His voice was completely illusory, but before he disappeared, he heard another voice, a female voice.

"Then you have to hide Uriah well. Gaia loves him more than me."

Kronos just snorted coldly, and then disappeared.

Hephaestus followed the prestige, and his beautiful mother Hera descended in front of him.

She looked in the direction where Kronos disappeared, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Who do you think you are? My father?"

Hephaestus' eyes narrowed even more.

Because the last words of Cronus were for him, and after the two of them noticed Hera's arrival, Cronus stopped the leaving figure and said it to him specially.

As a great person, he still doesn't seem to know all about the past events of the previous generation of gods.

He couldn't help but look at his mother.

He wanted an explanation.

Seeing this, Hera sighed, and asked instead of explaining, "Have you seen your grandmother?"

These words seem familiar.

Hephaestus nodded: "Yes, she went to Chaos."

"It also took away nearly 3 years of the present world."

"Then why did she leave?" Hera continued to ask.

Hephaestus looked as usual. "I don't know, maybe it's because she saw something incredible."

"She said she was tired and had thoughts of fleeing."

Hera was silent for a moment, and she suddenly asked, "Why do you mention 3 years? Did you stop her?"

She didn't wait for Hephaestus' answer, but continued, "You know, your grandmother is dead."

She paused again: "I don't blame you, you have your reasons, and choosing to escape is her own choice."

"Unfortunately, she still didn't escape."

The light in Hephaestus' eyes became indifferent for a moment.

His expression was also as cold as ice.He understood what Kronos said at the end.

He looked at his mother: "Gaia killed Rhea, and she will kill you."

"Why, because she is the origin of the gods?"

"Is she worthy?"

Hera didn't answer, just smiled: "It seems that you know a lot, tell me, tell me everything you know."

Hephaestus raised his eyebrows, but his eyes were cold: "The sky, the earth, the mountains, and the ocean, the four are combined into one, which is the world."

"Now it seems that I am short-sighted."

"I thought Gaia wanted to achieve one goal, but I didn't expect that she wanted them all."

"The ancient gods who were thrown into the abyss should all be dead."

Hera smiled and shook her head: "Of course not."

"Tartaros is so smart, how could he let him go?"

"Or do you think I'm stupid, knowing the truth and sending my parents into Gaia's mouth?"

She said and suddenly laughed.

"I am my mother's favorite daughter, and she tells me everything."

"Forgive me for not being able to see her off for the last time."

"Fortunately... I still have you."

"my child……"

She smiled and looked at Hephaestus tenderly, her face filled with a divine radiance.

"You are my perfect masterpiece."

"But you know what? Your birth has nothing to do with me."

"It was Gaia who discovered you, and I conceived you."

"I thought I would offer you as a sacrifice, but I underestimated the power of the word mother, even if I sneered at this word before conceiving you."

"But I will tell you anyway, my child."

"The thing I don't regret the most in my life is to tell you not to plunder, so you have always symbolized perfection for this..."

ps: More than 50 kilometers uphill, at this moment I just want to say to myself: "I'm so good!"
