Hades' chariot slowly stopped at the Heart of the Ocean.
Now, with Poseidon having perfectly mastered the sea realm, the Heart of the Ocean no longer needed to remain hidden. Hades, accompanied by the twin gods, was just about to enter the Heart of the Ocean.
At that moment!
"Hades!"
The voice alone made it clear who it was.
Hades calmly turned around and looked up, seeing Zeus with his long golden hair blowing in the wind, rushing towards them. Hades calmly gazed at Zeus.
What could be said!
Zeus gave off a very different feeling now. He seemed extremely confident, exuding an air of enthusiasm. A little thought made it clear what had happened.
The God-Slaying Thunder!
Moreover, this journey had allowed Zeus to break through the level of a God-King. Coupled with the God-Slaying Thunder and many other gains, Zeus indeed had every reason to be full of confidence now.
As for Hades?!
Sorry!
Hades had passed that stage long ago. He had grown step by step over such a long time. Now, having reached this level and with his personality, he maintained a calm attitude towards all this.
Naturally!
Hades wouldn't have too many emotional fluctuations because of these things.
Hades stood quietly, watching Zeus with his pitch-black eyes, which made Zeus feel helpless.
Come on!
Give some reaction, will you?!
My brother, your reaction is really hard to deal with! You are making me so frustrated!
What are you doing?
Sigh!
Zeus felt exhausted. His two brothers were always like this. What could he do? He felt helpless and desperate!
For a moment.
The once enthusiastic and triumphant Zeus felt like a withered eggplant, with his head aching intensely.
Witnessing this scene, Metis and Prometheus smiled, quietly watching as if they had no emotional waves.
In fact!
The two were very pleased with this scene. They knew their Lord Zeus had gained a lot recently. Such immense gains naturally made Zeus' personality swell again. But this was Zeus' nature. Of course, he knew it too. He just wouldn't change.
In Zeus' view, when he was powerful enough, he should show that stance. Pretending to be weak when he was strong made no sense to him.
Playing the fool?!
Come on!
If one pretends to be a pig too often, they might really become one.
Hades was rational, thinking through everything with absolute logic.
Poseidon was cold and emotionless, with no deep feelings, focusing only on himself, an absolute cold-hearted person.
As for Zeus?
Zeus had the most complex personality, being arrogant, proud, and self-conceited but also able to accept humility. This was Zeus' nature, wasn't it great?
Hehehe~~~
It wasn't bad at all. In the eyes of Metis, Prometheus, and other gods, Zeus' personality was almost perfect, the most likely to reach higher levels.
That's why they chose Zeus.
Of course.
For Prometheus, he had excluded Poseidon from the beginning. As for Hades? Hades didn't need him. Prometheus wanted to assist a God-King to the top from scratch, not to add to the glory.
This was the core reason, Prometheus' consistent thought, and Zeus was the most suitable candidate.
"Sigh!"
Zeus sighed helplessly and shook his head, saying, "Alright! Alright! No more discussing this. Hades, have you prepared the materials and divine items? Have you brought back the cosmic furnace?"
"Prepared." Hades quietly uttered four words.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
Zeus waved his hand helplessly, and the two parties headed towards the depths of the Heart of the Ocean. As they entered, the Heart of the Ocean was sealed off again. After all, forging the artifact was the most crucial. Any mishap would be terrible.
Sealing it off when necessary was a must.
Walking this path, Hades silently noted, "The Heart of the Ocean has changed a lot, as if it has been activated. It is very dangerous now."
Hades' heart grew heavy. Previously, no matter what Poseidon did, even if he tried to seal the Heart of the Ocean, Hades could leave at any time.
But now, it was different. He sensed great danger. Yes, if Poseidon attacked now, the Heart of the Ocean would be fully sealed, putting him in extreme peril.
Although, theoretically, Poseidon wouldn't do this, precautions were still necessary.
At this moment, Zeus glanced at Hades, and Hades looked back at Zeus.
Both gods nodded in agreement, sharing the same thought. Poseidon might not do such a thing, but taking precautions was essential. If something really went wrong, it would be a disaster.
Certain things needed to be guarded against.
Quickly!
The two gods led their respective followers to the center of the Heart of the Ocean, where Poseidon was already waiting on his throne. The two gods sat down in their places without ceremony.
Suddenly.
The atmosphere seemed to become silent.
"..."
Zeus felt this strange silence, feeling very uncomfortable. This kind of situation always made him speak first.
"Sigh!"
Zeus sighed inwardly, then calmly said, "The three Cyclopes brothers, I have rescued them. Hades has also retrieved the cosmic furnace. Poseidon, how are things on your end?"
