The twin gods didn't expect much recognition for their achievement, but they knew that their lord Hades had entrusted them with managing the Underworld. Finding a perfect underworld warrior right away was a testament to their abilities.
Look at this!
Isn't this proof of their competence?
After Byak's birth, the Underworld returned to its usual tranquility. The Underworld's operations didn't need any special handling; everything would run smoothly on its own.
Seven hundred thousand years passed quickly. When Hades awoke, his depleted blood had completely recovered. Moreover, after seven hundred thousand years of nurturing, Hades felt an even stronger connection with his underworld armor.
Both the magic stars and the Underworld were core parts of Hades, and their connection to Hades was almost akin to a lifeline.
However, his trinity underworld armor hadn't yet reached that level. Hades needed a long period to nurture the trinity armor to the same level as the magic stars and the Underworld.
"Tianling Star: Necromancer Byak."
"Another perfect underworld warrior has been born."
"In these seven hundred thousand years, the Underworld's connection to the small worlds, managing life and death cycles, has brought the power of the worlds. The World Tree has also grown."
"The seventy-two demon gods have been nourished by the power of the worlds, and their enhancement speed has increased."
"Five million years."
"In just five million years, the seventy-two demon gods will be fully nurtured."
The moment Hades woke up, he grasped everything that had happened in the Underworld over the past seven hundred thousand years, then retracted his thoughts.
In conclusion.
The Underworld had been flourishing for the past seven hundred thousand years. Hades even wondered if, given enough time, the power of the worlds brought by the small worlds could further the growth of the World Tree.
Thus.
This could elevate him to the level of an Ancient God. Now, his initial preparations for the Ultimate Power seemed unnecessary.
But Hades knew that the World Tree's further growth was just one way to advance. His collected Ultimate Power crystals could also be utilized perfectly.
Hades gradually collected his thoughts. These issues weren't urgent. The Titan War was coming to an end.
"Next..." Hades murmured softly, "Everything should begin. The preparations are sufficient. Overdoing it will only give Father more time to prepare."
"Father..."
Hades thought of his invincible father, the Titan King, and said seriously, "Are you ready for everything? This is an opportunity for both of us. Now, I should also test everything!"
Humm~~~
The gates of the Underworld opened, and the twin gods entered, kneeling respectfully. "Greetings, Lord Hades."
Hades nodded indifferently. "Hypnos, Thanatos, is everything ready?"
"Yes!"
Hypnos replied respectfully, "The Underworld is ready, waiting for your orders."
"Good..."
Hades was about to speak when he suddenly stopped. The atmosphere became silent, and the twin gods knelt without a word, not daring to ask questions.
After a moment.
Hades said, "Hypnos, Thanatos, open the gates of the Underworld and bring her in."
"Yes!"
The twin gods didn't ask who it was and respectfully left the Underworld to open the gates for the guest.
Hades murmured softly, "Elder sister, why have you come?"
On the surface world!
At this moment.
A petite figure with a youthful appearance stood waiting quietly.
As time passed.
Sure enough!
The earth opened, revealing a black gate—the gate to the Underworld. The twin gods emerged and were momentarily stunned to see this goddess.
Hestia, the eldest daughter of Kronos and Rhea, and the elder sister of the three god kings, held an unquestionable position regardless of her divine power.
Hypnos stepped forward and bowed slightly. "Lady Hestia, please follow me."
"Hehehe~~~"
Hestia chuckled softly. "Hypnos, no need to address me so formally. I am merely a tool-like goddess."
"..."
The twin gods didn't respond to this and instead led Hestia into the Underworld. As soon as she entered, Hestia was stunned. Although petite, she was a gentle and mature goddess.
From the original stories, Hestia, one of the three virgin goddesses, demonstrated remarkable abilities, strength, and skill.
In the chaotic Greek pantheon, maintaining her independence was impressive.
But.
Even so, Hestia couldn't believe her eyes upon entering the Underworld. What was this? The Underworld was thriving!
Although the Underworld seemed eerie, it was the Underworld, and gods saw the essence beyond appearances. The Underworld was growing rapidly.
Especially...
When Hestia saw the World Tree spanning the Underworld, she was utterly speechless. Was that a fully grown World Tree?
Hestia felt her mind reel. What was her brother capable of?
At this moment.
The twin gods stood proudly. This was their home. If a goddess like Hestia showed such amazement, didn't that mean something?
This was pride.
This was confidence.
This was the confidence of being Underworld gods. The glory of the god was shared with his followers!
