From its appearance, it looked like a gate made entirely of crystal.
The Crystal Wall Gate!
How should one put it...
As everyone knows.
In the Sea of Chaos, there are many naturally born Absolute Gods, and these Absolute Gods have all created their own mythological worlds. These numerous mythological worlds collectively form various pantheons.
But!
How does one travel from one mythological world to another? Mephisto's situation is quite special; his original mythological world was destroyed, and he created the Contract Hell to escape.
However, Mephisto and his Contract Hell were captured by a demonic star. This is Mephisto's subsequent situation, but such cases are extremely rare. Simply put, it's not a reliable method.
So!
What is the proper way to handle this? Clearly, this is the core issue. In simpler terms, how does one cross the Sea of Chaos? In fact, it's quite simple.
You just need to venture into the Sea of Chaos, withstand the dangers of the Outer Gods, and resist the perils of the Sea of Chaos to reach another mythological world.
However!
The Sea of Chaos is vast beyond measure. Even for an Absolute God, finding a mythological world within it is no easy feat. This is the situation in the Sea of Chaos, and it's not easily traversable.
The most crucial point is that in the Sea of Chaos, Absolute Gods and Outer Gods have their own territories and do not intrude on each other. If you cross these boundaries, it will bring danger.
In summary!
Crossing the Sea of Chaos to another mythological world might sound simple, but in reality, it's incredibly difficult. Truly achieving this is extraordinarily hard.
In other words.
Even for an Absolute God, crossing the Sea of Chaos to another mythological world is no easy task.
However...
Nothing is absolute, and there is one divine artifact that can achieve this. This is the only artifact that can connect to other mythological worlds. It is said that when a mythological world is born, the Sea of Chaos naturally extracts the essence of nine mythological worlds, forming the Crystal Wall Gate. It then randomly casts it into the Sea of Chaos, where it drifts and ends up in the hands of some deity.
This is an uncertain matter. Most interestingly, if a mythological world's Crystal Wall Gate falls into the hands of an Outer God, it's like delivering food to their door, only to be devoured.
This is the Crystal Wall Gate. Through it, one can reach another mythological world. Erebus and Nyx, this ancient god couple, presented Hades with the Crystal Wall Gate.
This!
Indeed, Hades did not expect this. Such a Crystal Wall Gate is invaluable to any deity. Although it represents great danger, it also holds the promise of exciting and maddening divine treasures!
Opportunities and dangers always coexist.
Hades, peering through the Crystal Wall at the Sea of Chaos, had experienced this twice and knew it well. There are no free lunches or absolute safety, only the coexistence of risks and opportunities.
"..."
Hades looked at the Crystal Wall Gate before him, fully aware of its value. Without hesitation, despite its immense preciousness, he calmly accepted it.
For Hades and this ancient god couple, excessive words and formalities were meaningless. Unknowingly, their fates were now tightly bound together.
In other words!
If Hades wished, he could involve this ancient god couple in the Titan War. They would not refuse, but it would be unwise to do so.
This is a war between God-Kings. If Hades were to do that, it would provoke significant issues for the entire mythological world.
Therefore!
Hades wouldn't do that. Even with the backing of ancient gods, neither Zeus nor Poseidon would do such a thing. It's not beneficial.
However!
Wars against external threats are different. Hades pondered briefly and asked, "Which mythological world does the Crystal Wall Gate connect to?"
"Uncertain," Erebus shook his head. "We haven't explored it. Once the Crystal Wall Gate is used, it cannot be sealed again. In other words, it will create a two-way gate. If one's divine power is insufficient, it won't be a gain but a problem."
The Crystal Wall Gate.
It's not a one-way gate but a two-way gate. Once opened, not only can one enter the other side, but the other side can also enter this side.
If not handled properly, one might end up being counter-attacked instead of launching an invasion or plundering divine artifacts and resources.
Therefore!
Without absolute confidence or assurance, it's best not to explore it casually. Erebus and Nyx, this ancient god couple, evidently preferred to go with the flow.
They invested in Hades, but only in Hades. This shows they didn't particularly care about other matters.
"I understand." Hades nodded quietly. Since that's the case, he knew how to handle the remaining matters.
Hades was very calm, not finding this situation strange. As always, opportunities and dangers coexist.
He understood this very well. For him, it had always been this way.
Nyx continued, "We wanted to give you the Crystal Wall Gate earlier, but feared you might be too eager. Now it seems..."
"Hehehe~~~"
Nyx didn't finish her sentence, but there was no need. It was meaningless anyway.
