Until the end, Hephaestus didn't cry, scream or show any sign of weakness. Ryan realized that immense power wasn't the only thing that made the elder gods fearsome. Their pride was equally as impressive. While Poseidon couldn't help but ignore his pride a little and ask for help when Ryan fought some powerful foes, he only did so to protect his pride… After all, it was humiliating for him to stay in that form.
Regardless, Hephaestus eventually passed out due to the exhaustion and the bleed… probably. Ryan couldn't tell since he returned to his normal size after a while. Thanks to that, his wounds began to heal faster, but Ryan wouldn't let that happen.
