Chapter 141 Before Hephaestus' Prophecy
The foster mother of Hephaestus, the goddess of water plants and pastures, Eurynome, came here for this simple sentence.

After saying this, she saluted the Emperor of the Sea who gave birth to her, and then left with a cold face.

As hastily as her arrival.

It wasn't until Eurynome walked out of the palace that Tesis, the goddess of the sea, sighed: "Tell me, what do you think?"

"Hephaestus has never treated you badly."

Thetis didn't say a word, but just looked at the goddess of the sea, Tesis, who was respected as the grandmother by all the sea gods. She was still amiable, and her eyes were full of pity for the inferior.

She can treat this kind and kind grandmother with cold eyes.

But Oceanus, the ocean god beside her, would not tolerate her.

He roared, causing the entire underwater palace to tremble: "Are you dumb? Speak!"

Thetis' swollen cheeks trembled subconsciously.She wanted to raise her head proudly and look directly at the silent "grandfather" that made all the sea gods fear, but she lowered her head from the bottom of her heart.

But her trembling and distorted tone still revealed her unwillingness and unwillingness to give in.

"Because I'm not reconciled!"

"I will never yield to him! Letting me bow to him is even more uncomfortable than killing me!"

"Why can he determine my future belonging with a playful prophecy? I can commit myself to anyone, any time, and I will never accept others to manipulate me!"

"The former is my will, and the latter, I am just a plaything, a tool for giving birth to children..."

"Why can he manipulate my life and wishes?"

Tethis looked at her granddaughter lovingly, and she asked, "When did Hephaestus manipulate you? And how did you do it?"

"If there is something we don't know, you can tell us."

"If what happened is true, even if the target is him, we will seek justice for you."

Thetis sneered: "Don't his prophecies and blessings count?"

"The child born of Thetis will be stronger than the child's father. I bless the child: he will not be burned to death by the flames until he gains true power from the flames."

"Isn't that what he said?"

"It's ridiculous. Just because of his casual jokes, I became a commodity for the birth of children. Everyone flocked to me, like a hungry wolf seeing a bone."

"What's even more ridiculous is that Amphitrine is still arguing with me. What is she arguing with me for, Poseidon's favor?"

"But Poseidon has come to look for me secretly! There is also Zeus, and Pontus, and even people from the dark night have come to look for me!"

"Then what am I? A lowly woman?"

The goddess of the sea fell into deep thought when she heard the words. She was organizing her words so as not to make her granddaughter sad.

But his husband Oceanus, the god of the ocean, is obviously a man who can't speak.

He said quickly: "Then why did you come to us? We recruited you in the first place, and told you about our interests. Didn't you say it's irrelevant?"

"Aren't you overjoyed and thanking us for your position?"

Thetis raised her head boldly. She tried her best to explain, trying to convince her grandfather: "But my personality changes, and I can't be the same all the time."

"Even if you are grandparents, you are the same, let alone me?"

"This world is so big, there are the earth, the heaven, the human world and the underworld. Every time I see more of them, I grow a little. It is impossible for me to make such a stupid choice again!"

"Really?" The ocean god Oceanus snorted coldly.

"I don't believe that everyone will consider the choices they make at that time."

"Even if you could do it all over again, you wouldn't refuse."

"Grandfather, of course I will!" Thetis said, puffing out her chest.

"Okay!" Oceanos sneered presumptuously. "Since you are so determined, then I am definitely not a pedantic person."

"Go back to your small island. What we gave you before, including the so-called contacts you know, you treat as a dream, and I will warn them to give up contact with you."

"Then I will personally go to Hephaestus and ask him to withdraw his prophecies and blessings to you, as if this had never happened."

Thetis lowered her head again upon hearing this.She said nothing, waiting for a new reaction from Oceanus, the grandfather of the ocean.

But it never occurred to her that if she didn't speak, Oceanus, the god of the ocean, would also remain silent.It seemed that he was deliberately embarrassing her.

The atmosphere created by this silence became more and more unfavorable to Thetis, and began to make her feel stressed.

But she doesn't think she did anything wrong.Chasing freedom is the power she was born with.

But it is absolutely impossible for her to agree to Oceanos' conditions.Although the consequence of agreeing to the conditions is nothing more than returning to the previous life.

However, after a person living at the bottom has tasted the taste of power, how do you let her go back to the mud and face her former self and unsatisfactory life?

Thetis didn't think his behavior at this time was shameful.Chasing freedom and beauty is her right.And as the bearer of bad news, Hephaestus deserves to be hated.

The one who freed Thetis from this embarrassing atmosphere was Tesis.

She sighed and said to Oceanos: "She is still a child, there is no reason to be so harsh on her..."

Strange to say, as soon as Tesis opened his mouth, Oceanus, her husband, gave the steps.

He snorted, turned his head and walked to the depths of the underwater palace, hidden in the underwater garden.

Only at this moment did Tethis pull his granddaughter aside, held her hand and comforted her: "I understand you, child."

"Really, I understand you better than anyone."

But her words immediately ushered in a turning point: "But there is one thing you may not know."

"The prophecy about your offspring has nothing to do with Hephaestus. When you were born, we invited the prophet Prometheus to reveal your future."

"The child you bear will be stronger than its father. This is not a prophecy, but a vague interpretation of Prometheus's future events. Before Hephaestus made the prophecy, That's all we know."

"We value Hephaestus' prophecy more, not because of how accurate his prophecy is, but because of his blessing: this child will not be burned to death by the flames until he obtains real power from the flames."

"Son, you should be happy. This is a blessing from a great person. You don't have to use your temper to challenge his patience."

"Do you understand it?"

Thetis, who was still resentful when she heard the word "great one", was obviously taken aback. She turned off the fire all of a sudden, and her words began to twist: "He...he...is he the great one?"

"Why has no one ever mentioned it?"

Tethis sighed: "We all know that Hephaestus doesn't like to be in contact with you."

"We also thought the strength he displayed against Hades was enough to leave you in awe."

"But who knows..."
