Chapter 197: The Referee and the First Assistant

"Hera, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

"If Themis were here, I'd be happy to consult her opinion, and have her measure the true Goddess of Beauty with the Golden Scales. But if you ask me to make the judgement—I'm afraid I'd struggle to put aside my feelings for you all and make a truly just decision."

Raising his hand, he suppressed the burgeoning power, and Zeus once again silently showcased his authority. Yet faced with Hera's request, the Divine King resolutely refused.

Whether he really had such deep feelings was one thing, but since he said so, it was considered true.

"Unable to make a 'truly just decision'... Does that require thought, Zeus, shouldn't your Heavenly Empress be the most beautiful?"

Completely disregarding Zeus's evasion, Hera's words remained sharp, pressing step by step. Watching this scene, Aphrodite couldn't help but sneer coldly from not far away.
