"You've finally arrived, Zeus." Still dizzy from the time travel, Zeus heard a gentle greeting. Shaking her head to clear her mind, Zeus looked towards the source of the voice. Hmm! A beautiful young woman, with hair as black as night and eyes like black pearls. Zeus felt a strong liking for her, especially given her intellectual beauty characteristic of Eastern women. Zeus felt quite fond of this girl she was meeting for the first time. She was sitting on what appeared to be a very ornate and expensive throne, looking down upon the world like a queen. If it weren't for the dangerous feeling the girl gave Zeus, Zeus might have chatted and had tea with her. But the girl's cunning and scheming aura made Zeus want to run away immediately.
Oh, right, that letter. And here's the thing: Zeus suddenly remembered something!
"Alaya, right!" Zeus said affirmatively.
"Bingo! You got it right." The girl... no, Alaya, stepped down from her throne. With a bright smile on her face, she came to Zeus and took Zeus's hand tightly.
"My dear, I've been wanting to see you for so long." Suddenly, Alaya shed tears of joy, startling Zeus. Zeus, who prided himself on being a man, had only encountered a crying girl twice in this life and past lives. The first was Rhea, whose meek and submissive nature destined her to be constantly in tears. The second was this girl before him, who started crying at the slightest provocation, now comforting Alaya. Zeus didn't notice the small bottle labeled 'eye drops' in her hand. Had he noticed, Zeus wouldn't have called her a crybaby.
Zeus would run far away; she'd never seen anyone use such tricks on a first meeting. Beneath the white palm, the face covered wasn't weeping; instead, it held a cunning, fox-like smile. Cute little Zeus! So easily fooled, especially when it comes to intelligence! Alaya thought, "I could use hundreds of methods to make Zeus willingly climb into my bed and strike various poses. Humans are truly too cunning."
"Um, you helped Hades find me. And these earrings were your doing, right?" Zeus looked at Alaya, who had stopped pretending to cry, with complicated emotions. She felt she owed her a huge debt of gratitude. But she had never even met this important figure before! She didn't know her, so why would she risk offending Gaia to help her? Zeus was well aware of her own limitations. She had neither great power nor a large influence (she used to, but dared not pursue it now). This wasn't an exchange of interests! And she didn't possess anything that anyone wanted from her. Zeus couldn't understand why Alaya would help her!
"Oh, you'll find out in the future. But for now, I have something to give you," Alaya said with a mysterious smile, refusing to tell Zeus. And to Zeus's astonishment, he produced a magnificent and powerful staff. The staff was crafted from an unknown tree trunk, with a bowl-sized sapphire inlaid at its very top, occasionally flashing with a glint of lightning. It was exceptionally beautiful, but none of this caught Zeus's attention.
"Why does this thing give me a feeling of being connected to someone by blood?" Zeus wondered to herself, even though she had never seen this thing before. But why did it feel so familiar?
Suddenly, the staff slipped from Alaya's hand and flew towards Zeus. Zeus was startled, but she caught it nonetheless. The joy emanating from the staff confused her, yet she lovingly stroked it, a feeling akin to caressing a child welling up within her.
"This is," Zeus asked, looking at Alaya who was smiling beside her.
"This weapon was originally yours, the 'Thunderous Judgment Staff,' but history has been distorted so drastically that it has never reached your hands." Alaya said, glancing at Zeus with a complicated expression, but still slowly trying to clear up her doubts.
"So, Zeus, now you have a path to take," Alaya said solemnly after finishing speaking.
"Please indicate the direction." Zeus was already prepared and said firmly to Alaya.
"Okay." Alaya nodded with satisfaction, hoping that this awareness could continue.
"Your current situation and predicament are extremely bad because your strength is far too weak. The course of fate has become incredibly twisted. Gaia of your world has been corrupted and corrupted by the 'evil of this world' because of this." Alaya paused here, glancing at Zeus, whose face was ashen. Alas! Poor child, her virginity was so brutally taken. And she even had a child! How I envy Gaia! (crossed out)
"Now! I need to reshape you, sealing your divine body and artifact together into a spiritual core. Don't worry! When it's time, you'll create a body to attach to it, powered by the spiritual core. The seal will only be broken when your divine body regains its immense power. This is your decision; during this time, you'll need to use a puppet body to hone and train yourself. If you succeed, the moment the seal is broken, you'll be able to control your power," Alaya explained cheerfully.
"What happened?" Zeus asked doubtfully.
"A mere XXX with no real power," Alaya said with a smile, his words chilling, sending shivers down Zeus's spine.
"Go there to hone my skills, and Gaia won't be able to sense me, will she?" Zeus asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine as long as you don't use your divine power. Once you've chosen your body, go train in one of my worlds!" Alaya said confidently.
"Okay, that puts my mind at ease." Zeus nodded, indicating her willingness.
"Then choose!" A hint of a smile flashed in Alaya's eyes as she waved her hand. Various humanoid shadows appeared around the two of them, and after the shadows dispersed...
"What...what happened?!" Zeus cried out in sorrow; this was not the outcome she had hoped for.
