Chapter 94 – Prometheus (2)
Shock.
Prometheus stole the fire of the gods!
‘I knew that.’
I was already anticipating Prometheus’ crime.
Having knowledge of the original text, I remembered Prometheus’ name exactly from the first time I knew him.
Oh, the guy who stole the fire, was chained to a cliff, and had his liver eaten by an eagle for the rest of his life?
I knew.
I knew everything.
We all know that Prometheus, anticipating Olympus’ victory, made us surrender in advance and made his sister his pretend to surrender.
But he did not rebuke Prometheus.
Without the aid of Prometheus’ prophecy, I allowed Prometheus to assimilate himself into Olympus.
And Prometheus did his best for Olympus.
Even if he was not a prophet, even if the power of prophecy gradually lost its meaning, he tried as much as he could in the best field he could.
So, do you want to beat him now?
That’s not it.
Now that I’ve worked for a long time, I’m not going to ask you to go to Tartarus to spend the rest of your life. Prometheus, who was credited with saving his mother his, Leah, was someone I could do recklessly and had no intention of doing recklessly.
However, the fact that Prometheus was a ‘prophet’ itself became a problem.
I didn’t find him
However, those who knew him from before would go to him knowingly and ask about the future.
– Will my child be a daughter or a son?
-Uh, uh… ?
-Tell me. You are a prophet Could it be your son? He must be the first son of Zeus. Alas, what is talent? Are you handsome? Tell me! My child, you are in the place of Olympus 12?! Yes!? Yes?! Yes!?!!!!!?!?!
-…That, that.
Prometheus suffered.
Even the hair that remained like calyxes on both sides fell out due to the barrage of questions from the goddesses who were curious about his child his, and he became completely bald and complained of his stress.
– Dear Zeus! Save me!
He appealed to me to fix the situation.
-As Zeus said, we have decided not to tell fate in the future! But the goddesses who were impregnated by Zeus secretly visit me and keep asking me! What should I do?
Zeus told me not to speak.
I tried to say that, but to no avail. His mother’s love for her children was stronger and greater than the god’s strict orders.
I understand your desire for the best for your child.
In my previous life, I knew that the percentage of AOS games was higher than the percentage of mock test scores, and I was saddened by beating my heart.
Me too.
As the number of children increases, I hope that all of my children will bloom their talents without being ignored, and they are all my beloved children.
But sometimes it’s unsettling.
What if my child does something wrong?
One day suddenly, what if a nom’s cub can touch one of my pretty daughters and touch it without leaking?
I thought that I would not see fate or the future, but at such times, I kept listening to the temptation of future poetry. How comfortable would it be if I killed the rapist of my child 15 years in advance instead of 15 years later?
But foretelling fate required control.
Currently, there are three people in Olympus who can know their fate and future.
One is Gaia.
One is Moira. They are Themis’ second triplet sisters, but they can be counted as one, as they are always together.
And finally, Prometheus.
-After the day Olympus won, my power to see the future began to gradually disappear. Now, what will the weather be like tomorrow… That’s all we know!
He began to lose his prophetic powers.
However, thanks to the fact that he was the first to support Olympus alone when everyone supported Cronus, he became widely known as a great prophet.
He was also criticized for sucking honey alone.
Thus, Prometheus was under overall stress.
Loss of abilities previously possessed.
A finger-pointing from the surviving Titans.
The goddesses who still visit Prometheus out of concern for their children, even though I told them not to look into fate or the future.
-Knowing the future is poison.
Prometheus eventually wanted to do something special.
He wanted to go to extreme lengths so that no one would come to him anymore and end his life as his as a prophet.
So, I came up with a trick with Metis to make the prophecy impossible.
Yes.
Prometheus stole fire.
In the furnace managed by Hestia, who is not anyone else, she stole embers from the fire of Olympus and spread the fire to humans.
Is this possible? Impossible.
Hestia is always taking care of the hearth, and even when she has sex, she is a goddess who has warm flame sex near the hearth.
No one can take the fire from the furnace without Hestia’s permission. I don’t know how the nuclear power plant was stolen, but the current Olympus has such a structure.
Still, Prometheus stole the fire. And he taught how to kindle fire, and man learned how to handle fire.
I’ve been thinking about spreading fire to humans for a long time.
However, if you just spread the fire, you could buy a misunderstanding that ‘no matter how much Zeus gave the things of the gods to humans’.
I could buy indication that only humans were given the right of fire, the gods.
-Haha, if that’s the case, that’s fine. I’ll take care of everything.
Prometheus.
He wanted to be a sinner himself.
Aware of my concern for man, he himself took up his forearm and ‘distributed’ the fire to them.
The only thing he gets through this is praise from humans.
-Zeus-sama, may I say something blasphemous?
– Speak.
-One day, the era of the gods will come to an end, and the day will come when only humans will remain to manage the world. In the last future I saw, the gods no longer existed, a world full of humans.
– I’m disrespectful, but I’ll allow it. You are the one who deserves to dare to say that.
-Thank you. And when the time comes, humans will praise the Titans and Zeus for their achievements. So, I have a request for you. Do you dare… Steal one of your achievements?
To distribute members to humans without incurring any displeasure with the other titan gods, nymphs, and beasts.
In order not to confuse everyone in the name of prophecy anymore.
And, somewhat disingenuously, for Prometheus’ ‘retirement’.
-Okay. Steal it Sharing the embers with humanity is a theft to the titans, but it would be too great an honor for humanity. You didn’t steal the fire. You have stolen from me the praise of mankind.
– Thank you very much. Mr Zeus.
Therefore.
Prometheus stole fire.
I instructed him to steal the fire.
For my beloved man.

“Whoop, whoop.”
Prometheus was chained to a cliff.
Cuffed and shackled by Hephaestus, he was chained to a cliff. It was the last consideration of Zeus, considering his merits of him, that he was able to wear clothes that were not naked.
Everyone passing by could see his plaque.
All who passed by could see the humiliation of Prometheus.
Not the titans, not the nymphs, not the animals, not least the men he cared so much for could see Prometheus chained to the cliff at a glance.
No matter how far away the footsteps of others are, interest in the fire thief Prometheus has not faded.
“It’s a little sad.”
“What?”
“I feel like I’ve been betrayed.”
Athena, the goddess of wisdom, stood quietly before Prometheus. From a very long time ago, even before Zeus’ power reached Olympus, he felt sorry for him because he had assisted Zeus.
“You’ll feel betrayed. Zeus-sama can’t help you right now.”
“No. It wasn’t Zeus-sama who felt betrayed.”
Prometheus sighed deeply.
“No matter how much Zeus-sama gave permission, I would have stolen fire for the humans even if Zeus-sama didn’t allow it.”
“Why? How many things could it give to humans? It had gills to breathe underwater, and wings to fly.”
“Can you say that, Goddess of Wisdom? Fire was what humans needed. Everything else could have been made by hand, but it was impossible to use fire. I am a prophet. It is our titan’s ability to make humans prosper. I thought it was prosperity.”
Prometheus let out another deep sigh.
“At first, I was happy that Zeus-sama agreed with me. But after that, I became disillusioned with myself. Zeus-sama cared about humans for different reasons than I did.”
“Another reason?”
“I intended to be worshiped by humans for our titans’ authority. There will come a world where humans will worship and pay tribute, and with that, we titans will be able to further consolidate our authority. Hehe, don’t you know? So in advance, to the real exhaust land…Hmmmm.”
“What are you saying? Hmm.”
Athena smiled and ran her index finger across her lips.
“Does Zeus know?”
“Everyone knows. Rather, he even gave us a good land.”
“You’re biased.”
“It’s me.”
“That’s right. Yes. Zeus’s love has no purpose. He loves purely. You, women, goddesses, and… Even humans. Truly, a great man.”
Prometheus shook his head as if he had lost.
“Lastly, I want you to say one word to Zeus.”
“What is it?”
“Exactly 10 years later. Bubbles. Shells.”
Athena tilted her head.
Prometheus merely grinned and raised her thumb.
“Tell me that this is a prophecy and a gift from Prometheus.”
“…Are you a woman?”
“Well. Huhu, I don’t know either. Originally, I should be able to see it well… But it’s been blurry since before.”
“I see. …Ah, here it comes. Work hard. Enjoy the rest of your life.”
“Of course.”
Athena left. Prometheus closed his eyes for a moment and then raised his head to the sky.
Flutter, flutter.
“…Flaw.”
Prometheus licked his lips at the shadows in the sky. From the sky, women wearing hats shaped like eagles’ heads began to descend one by one.
Their arms had white wings hanging from the middle.
“Are you the titan Zeus spoke of?”
“Yes.”
“I’m a little sorry that I did this to you after receiving this as a gift from your sister.”
“It’s okay. It’s what I wanted.”
Prometheus shrugged his shoulders as he leaned back against the cliff.
“Come. I’ll show you the exquisite technique I learned from Zeus.”
“Oh my God, you, being raped by us ‘harpies’. Fuck you.”
Prometheus.
He likes harpies.
* * *
“If the nymph said it was your preference, what would you do?”
“I locked him up on Siren Island.”
A harpy will spend the rest of his life having sex with harpies.
The harpies will be seeded by the titan god and will prosper as a race.
Humans will receive fire and enjoy prosperity.
“It’s a happy ending.”
