Pillars.
To support the world, the pillars needed to perfectly match the underworld.
After careful consideration, Hades couldn't find suitable pillars and ultimately decided to set this matter aside for the time being. The transformation of the Ouroboros would take a long time, not something achievable in the short term.
Until the birth of heaven and earth was complete, there was no need to rush in finding the pillars. The next focus would be the Titan War, which was crucial for him and all the new gods. As for everything else?
The future!
The future!
Everything else was for the future. Hades didn't dwell on it and continued to master his laws, solidifying his control and refining his divine power. These were the most important tasks.
In battles, even a simple improvement could bring the greatest enhancement. This was vital; small improvements might save his life in future conflicts.
Unlike facing Iapetos or Mother Gaia, the upcoming Titan War would be a true divine war, where a single mistake could have catastrophic consequences. At that time?
Everything!
The outcome would be uncertain. When both sides chose to fight to the death, who knew what the result would be? Perhaps death would come in an instant, taking his life—an entirely possible scenario.
The time for cultivation always felt long. Hades didn't rush to leave, and Poseidon and Zeus also needed time. They couldn't gather again in a short period, as it would be meaningless.
Three hundred thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three hundred thousand years, the mythical world seemed to fall into silence. There were no movements, no actions from either the Titans or the new gods, both sides maintaining peace. What would happen next?
No one knew!
However!
Both sides were preparing for everything, waiting patiently for the opportunity. The upcoming events were crucial. Timing and opportunity were vital.
"..."
Time passed, and Hades slowly opened his eyes, whispering, "The realm of the God-King, even just a step away, is still so difficult. Even with the support of the origin, otherwise..."
Hades pondered.
God-King!
This level was incredibly challenging, no joke at all. Achieving the rank of God-King was extremely difficult. Even though Hades had retrieved his origin and was born as the Lord of the Underworld, this step was still as hard as reaching the sky.
He was just a step away, yet according to his calculations, it would take tens of thousands of years to succeed. For ordinary gods?
They might never take this step. It was impossible, which explained Mephistopheles' madness and the Twin Gods' excitement.
This path wasn't something easily achieved. True enhancement was nearly impossible. Therefore, this step was extraordinarily difficult, almost reaching an insurmountable level.
Hades, having reached this close, had to acknowledge the difficulty and complexity of this step.
"However," Hades whispered, "it's almost time."
Hades sensed that the time was approaching. He wondered how long Poseidon and Zeus would wait.
At this moment...
"Come in," Hades said, sensing something.
Buzz~~~
With a divine power fluctuation, a door opened, and the Twin Gods, Hypnos and Thanatos, entered, respectfully kneeling on one knee. "Lord Hades! A letter from the Heart of the Ocean."
The Twin Gods respectfully presented the letter. Hades gestured, and the letter floated into his hand. After reading it, he stood up slowly.
"It's time to go," Hades said quietly.
"Yes!"
The Twin Gods bowed their heads and followed Hades out of Elysium.
The underworld remained still, as always. Over time, everything had returned to calm, embodying the essence of the underworld.
For the underworld, no matter the time, it remained perpetually calm and silent. The underworld hadn't fully started operating, thus maintaining its silence.
However.
As Hades reached the Yomi-no-Kuni, he saw a chariot. This wasn't a typical horse-drawn chariot but resembled a Roman chariot. The chariot was dark purple, emitting the aura of the underworld.
At the front were six hell horses, their bodies aflame with dark purple fire, waiting quietly. This chariot was, in fact, a divine artifact, with power comparable to a True God.
Each hell horse had divine power close to a First-tier God, making them worthy of being called horse gods. Combined with the chariot, they were comparable to a True God.
At this moment.
The hell horses waited silently, and Hades stepped onto the chariot, sitting on the prepared throne. The Twin Gods, Hypnos and Thanatos, drove the chariot.
The Chariot of the Underworld!
This chariot was prepared by the Twin Gods for Hades. However, Hades didn't see much significance in it. He wasn't a god who pursued comfort or grandeur. For him, divine power was paramount; everything else? Not very important.
However.
To the Twin Gods, this was unacceptable. As the God-King, Hades deserved such a configuration. Thus, they prepared the Chariot of the Underworld for him.
