Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

```

Along the narrow path, Chiron finally left Olympus again.

The centaur's mood was somewhat complicated but also a bit relieved.

However, beyond that, the doubts in his heart gradually surfaced.

Previously, running around, Chiron hadn't thought much.

But now thinking about it, what Achilles said actually made a lot of sense.

A secret passage connecting the inside and outside of Mount of the Gods was indeed built by the God of Sun, and it was nothing unusual if he concealed it from the other deities.

But then the question arose: as the rumored Divine King who achieved great divine power, as the master of Mount Olympus, could Zeus really know nothing about this?

Chiron did not know the answer, but perhaps due to a psychological effect, once he thought of this, he always felt a gaze watching him intently.

However, it was probably just his imagination because even if Zeus really discovered it, the other's gaze would not be something Chiron could detect.

...

"All right, stop watching, he's gone."

"Hehe, indeed, I must say, the so-called 'witchcraft' created by Hecate is quite remarkable, and her achievements in the mental domain even astonish me."

"Even from such a distance, he could sense your gaze. This level of perception is already far beyond what many deities possess."

At some unknown time, at the peak of Mount Olympus, within another layer of space overlapping and crisscrossing with the Golden Palace.

In front of the two, the void rippled gently, and everything within the Temple of the Sun God was so clearly visible.

Without a doubt, being able to so freely observe Mount of the Gods from the Asgard Divine Domain was something only Zeus himself could do.

And the reason he was here was quite simple: since the matter with Heracles required no immediate attention, and the battle between the Divine Court and Athens just started, there was no need for the Divine King to remain on the mountain or go elsewhere.

Moreover, just as Achilles mentioned, since nothing in the Spirit Realm could be hidden from the Lord of the Spirit Realm, and nothing in the Realm of Lightness could be concealed from Erebus, naturally, nothing on Mount Olympus should be hidden from Zeus either.

Besides, even stepping back a bit, Ares's act of stealing thunder in broad daylight was enough to draw the Divine King's attention.

Without his tacit consent, even if the War God was his offspring, he would never have been able to wield the power of thunder.

Even in later mythological records, only Hera could summon clouds and thunder for her journey, as for Ares...

That fool, did he deserve it?

"Hehe, it's quite interesting to speak of, after all, Clymene... his doubts are quite reasonable too."

"As the Divine King, I actually allowed such a secret passage to exist on the mountain— and you must also wonder, how did he find out about this secret passage?"

"Logically, besides you and Helios, no one else should know... Don't look at me, I didn't reveal it."

Speaking with a smile to the beauty in his embrace, Zeus seemed oblivious to her ever-changing expression.

He allowed the existence of this secret passage, on one hand, knowing that a 'secret passage' is as good as an 'open one,' and on the other hand, it was naturally because of this beautiful woman.

Ever since Helios sealed the starry sky, the goddess of fame, who lost her lover, did not hesitate to change her allegiance.

To this day, Zeus still remembered this woman sobbing about her miserable experience before him, narrating how the God of Speech was useless and how Helios had deceived her emotions.

For this matter, she requested the Divine King to confirm whether she was not tainted by the power of the Mother Tree, and Zeus agreed to it.

Then, as happened many times in the past, during the confirmation, the two ended up rolling into bed.

"It's Iapetus, it must be him!"

Slightly gritting her teeth, Clymene ignored Zeus's teasing, focusing instantly on the matter's crux.

So that's it, no wonder the God of Speech always disregarded her and treated her like a clown.

Damn it, wasn't it because of you that I ended up like this?

As a goddess of fame, her desire for higher status and rights was ingrained in her divine nature.

You should understand me and not blame me for letting go!

And if you weren't so obscure, how could I have reached this point today... Most of my actions are because of you.

"Your Majesty, this is an affront and contempt towards you. Beings like humans and deities should be subjected to severe punishment to make the world revere your authority."

Word by word, though he was her nominal husband, Clymene acted as if facing an enemy or a stain on her divine life.

Since you want to retire, why not stay there for life? Why come out?

And if you must come out, why oppose the Divine King?

Clymene was too aware of Zeus's ruthlessness; don't be fooled by how he seemed to treat her well, the fact that he never publicly acknowledged their relationship showed she meant nothing to him in reality.

She didn't want to be seen as a traitor by Zeus... However, in face of the goddess of fame's suggestion, Zeus merely shook his head.
