As the eldest brother among the Twelve Titans, Oceanus, the Lord of the Ocean, was entrusted with the important task of guarding the ocean when Cronus was in charge of the sky, and fought against the Pontus family on the ocean.
His wife Tesis, also a Titan with the power of the sea, was married into his palace by deceiving the goddess's belt, which made him no longer alone.
For a single child, this pair of Titans as parents is extremely irresponsible. They can't even name many of the children.
But for these six thousand ocean gods and goddesses as a whole, Oceanus and Tesis are extremely responsible parents. They always prevent these children from being harmed.
This can be seen from the country they live in.
The place where Oceanus and his wife Tesis settled was a series of islands in the sea. There are tens of thousands of islands in these island groups, and they look densely packed from a distance.
There are thousands of islands on which their children already live, and the one where the Oceanus couple themselves live is the centermost and highest one in the island group.
In this way, they can always pay attention to the situation of their children to prevent them from being in danger. At the same time, they never go to any child's island. There is nothing they can do about it. It would take them nearly twenty years to go to a child's island in one day.
This time Eurynome returned to the island where his father lived and found that the treatment was completely different. The last time she came to ask for help because of Typhon's problem, her brothers and sisters all made sarcastic remarks, leaving her ashamed, angry and speechless.
But this time, each of these younger brothers and sisters seemed to have honey in their mouths, and the older sisters kept shouting.
Styx has always been a mysterious eldest sister with little sense of existence in the eyes of these younger siblings, while Amphitrite is a convincing and awe-inspiring second sister. Only Eurynome and Clummer Nirvana, a goddess of beauty, a goddess of fame, is the gentle and intimate sister of these sons and goddesses.
But the heart of Eurynome, the close sister, had been completely hurt by them. This time, she was rarely cold and indifferent and didn't pay too much attention to them.
Even so, none of these younger siblings cared, and seemed not to notice Eurynome's cold expression at all.
Only when Clymene, the goddess of fame, came to greet them on behalf of their father, did the three Ocean Daughters of the Star Court finally show a smile.
Clymene is known as the goddess of fame, but the power she controls is destruction and creation. Even when Metis, the goddess of wisdom, was still alive, she was considered the most potential among the many children of Oceanus. One person.
The Oceanus couple had always regarded Clymene as the ruler of the sea after them.
Of course, the reason why Styx and the other three smiled at Clymene was not because of these, but because Clymene was similar in age to them and had always stood by them.
For example, some time ago, although Oceanus did not agree to fight with them against Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, Clymene has always been ready to support them.
"Three sisters, you are finally here. My father and mother have been waiting impatiently."
Walking next to Styx and the others, Clymene said in a very small voice.
Amphitrite smiled, said nothing, and looked at the two sisters walking with her, which was very profound.
Styx was a little embarrassed, but Eurynome sneered and said, "If we had come earlier, our Majesty, Lord of the Stars, might come with us. I wonder if my father is ready to entertain him. "
She did not lower her voice deliberately. She believed that no matter how small the sound was on this island, it would reach his father's ears.
The family gathering at Oceanus' home was held in a place larger than the Temple of the Olympus Gods. After all, the place was not big enough to accommodate six thousand children.
Of course, there are now less than 5,800 left. It is extremely rare to lose just over 200 after so many years of petty quarrels with the ancient Poseidon Pontos family.
"You guys are here, sit down."
With a serious expression, Oceanus pointed to the seat next to him and asked the four eldest daughters to sit next to him. Dione, the ice and sea goddess, Akorus, the river god, and Clytie, the island goddess, these three brothers and sisters were sitting next to him. Stay by your side.
Metis, the goddess of wisdom, was devoured by Zeus, and among the many children of Oceanus, she became the main god, and these were the only seven left.
As for the other children, they were naturally not qualified to sit in the middle. They sat in the distance and listened to the conversation between their father and sisters.
The banquet started with some performances. Oceanus had many children, and naturally many of them had acting talents. They didn't like war and devoted themselves to studying art every day. Sometimes Apollo would even bring the muses over to discuss with them.
Obviously, the song and dance performance here was better than when Amphitrite hosted a banquet for Adros in her own territory. But neither the Ocean Lords Oceanus nor his wife, nor their many children, were focused on watching the show.
"Amphitrite, tell me, how can I allow your younger brothers and sisters who love art to study without any harm?"
When the food, singing and dancing were all enjoyed, Oceanus' words immediately alerted Amphitrite, and the purpose of the banquet finally came.
"As gods, you should have the awareness to create living conditions for yourself. Apollo and Hermes also like to study art, but they never have to worry about being harmed."
Amphitrite smiled slightly. As her father didn't want to say it clearly, she was happy to talk nonsense.
After hearing Amphitrite's words, Oceanus' expression changed and he said calmly: "But they don't have the talent of Apollo and Hermes. They can only become gods like the Muses."
Amphitrite smiled: "Then they need a father like Zeus, or a main god who is willing to accept them and is enough to keep them from harm."
Oceanus was silent for a long time before saying: "Their father may not be as good as Zeus, but their sister is not inferior to Apollo and Hermes. I believe their sister will be willing to accept them and will not let them be harmed." Hurtful.”
What Oceanus said was obvious, he wanted Amphitrite and the others to take in these sons and daughters of gods.
Amphitrite looked at the beautiful goddess Eurynome next to her and chuckled: "Eurynom, helping the Divine Court collect some goddesses like the Muses is what you, the beautiful goddess, should do. What do you think? ?”
Eurynome paused and said, "I don't know. I need to ask our Lord God for his opinion."
After saying that, he drew a starlight from Eurynome's hand, flew directly out of the island, flew over the ocean, and disappeared from the sight of the gods.
Far to the west, Adros and Hecate, the goddess of deception and the goddess of discord, were about to reach the place of eternal silence in the darkness, when suddenly a starlight flew into his hand.
Adros took the starlight, smiled softly, and then waved his hand, and it went back the way it came.
"Is something wrong with Amphitrite and the others?"
As soon as Hecate saw the direction the starlight came from, she knew it came from the sea goddesses.
Adros smiled faintly and said: "It's no big deal, but I have to pay a little reward to the parents of these three subordinates."
"What reward?"
"It's not necessarily a reward. After we open the palace of the Star Palace in the future, we won't have to worry about no one performing singing, dancing and music during the banquet."
Adros did not refuse to take in some performing artists. In the myths of the past life, there were such gods in heaven, dragon palace, and even spiritual mountains. Even in the private residences of some great gods, such gods can be seen everywhere. It is better to use them to perform than to be like Zeus, who often asks his daughter to perform.
Above the seas, Eurynome took the starlight returned by Adros, and then said lightly: "The Lord of the Stars has agreed, but if they study art in the Divine Court of Stars, the Divine Court can take them in and protect them. But from now on, they They belong to God in the Divine Court and must abide by God’s contract.”
Oceanus nodded and smiled: "Okay, let them make a divine contract, and from now on they will be the gods of your Starry Palace."
For these children without any fighting ability, Oceanus was actually very rare. He always kept them by his side, but he didn't know when they would be taken advantage of by some enemy.
If you place it with other gods, you are worried that it will not be safe and you will be bullied, especially among them, the majority are daughters.
But when it comes to his older daughters, Oceanos is still very relieved. As an elder sister, he will definitely not bully his younger sister.
"Okay, you kids, from now on you will follow the three sisters and do whatever they ask you to do."
The ocean goddess Tessis, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up and instructed these sea artists to obey the command. These sons and goddesses nodded in agreement one by one, and then stood directly behind Eurynome and the others, there were about three to four hundred people.
"They went to the Court of Stars and couldn't make any contribution. I feel a little ashamed of Adros. Otherwise, I will send a thousand children who are willing to fight to fight for your side, and also to supplement your side. manpower."
Amphitrite's expression suddenly changed. It was no big deal to raise some younger siblings who would provide singing and dancing performances. But taking in soldiers is not such a simple matter, especially since she knows the virtues of her younger siblings in battle.
Before Typhon arrived, these people had been following them in battles, and after winning the territory, they were basically managed by them to improve their strength. As soon as Typhon arrived, they immediately abandoned the territory they had captured and then took back their hometown. The territories they had finally seized were all advantaged by the descendants of the ancient sea god Pontos and the sea goddess Thalasa.
How could Amphitrite dare to accept such a group of soldiers
"As long as we can establish a divine contract, we will agree. If not, then forget it."
The speaker was Styx, the goddess of oaths, and she showed no mercy at all.
