"Hah~~~"
Mephistopheles exhaled deeply, regaining his composure and elegance. He respectfully said, "Lord Hades, my apologies for letting you see that."
"No matter," Hades replied calmly. He was always very lenient with his subordinate gods.
To be precise, this is the difference between a God-King and a mortal king. In the eyes of a mortal king, subordinates do not have absolute guarantees, and thus any mistake can be fatal. However, for a God-King, the lives and deaths of subordinates are at their whim.
Moreover, for gods, cutting off someone's future is worse than killing their parents. Mephistopheles' frenzy was completely understandable and not strange at all.
For Mephistopheles, who had spent countless years and effort, from the destruction of the Mythical Great World, his capture by the Demon Star, and becoming Hades' subordinate, he had reached his current state step by step. His determination had been tempered to the extreme. Although he had a momentary breakdown, he quickly recovered, and there were no further problems.
Hades turned and left, while Mephistopheles squinted his eyes, a strange look flashing in them. He murmured, "With the end of the Titanomachy, the era of heroes will begin. I need to carefully plan for the seven heroes, the seven souls containing deadly sins."
"Hehehe~~~"
Mephistopheles let out a strange laugh. As a contract demon god, he was fully prepared. Let the preparations begin. He could hardly wait to see what the realm of the God-King looked like.
Hades left the Contract Hell, but the changes in the underworld were far from over. In fact, they continued rapidly.
The transformation of the underworld was happening at an astonishing rate, with changes that could be described as earth-shattering in a short period.
However, the core transformation was the metamorphosis of stars into hells. These stars, created by various underworld gods, were now transforming into hells.
With time, these stars would undergo significant changes, ultimately transforming into individual hells. Like the Contract Hell, these hells would be the divine kingdoms of each underworld god, yet they would remain intertwined with the underworld as part of it.
Simultaneously, as each star transformed into a hell, it wouldn't be an overnight success. The recent enhancement of the World Tree initiated this transformation.
Once transformation begins, everything becomes much simpler. Over time, step by step, they would grow and evolve. This wasn't strange; once the first step is taken, everything else is just a matter of time.
Moreover, as the stars began transforming, all the underworld gods felt their divine power and laws soaring.
"..."
Hypnos and Thanatos, the twin gods, felt their powers rising and the connection to their newly forming hells. They withdrew from the battlefield, steadily enhancing themselves.
Hypnos.
Thanatos.
Aether.
Hemera.
These four titan gods experienced significant but not monumental improvements. They remained titan gods without advancing further.
In contrast, the other underworld gods experienced earth-shattering enhancements.
Ker, Keres, Eurynomos, and Karl, originally at the level of main gods, had already reached their peaks through successive enhancements of the underworld. This recent massive boost finally pushed them into the ranks of titan gods.
Moros and Momus, originally true gods, advanced to the peak of main gods, on the verge of grasping the titan god level.
Additionally, Erebus, Nemesis, Apate, Philotes, and Kakia, initially at the first-tier god level, experienced tremendous transformations, leaping two levels to reach the main god tier. However, they were relatively weaker compared to their siblings.
The first two were at the peak of main gods, while the latter five were at the early stage of main gods.
Nevertheless, reaching the main god level was a significant milestone for each underworld god, representing a dramatic transformation.
At this point, among the children of Erebus and Nyx handed over to Hades, almost all had reached the main god level, with eight achieving titan god status.
Furthermore, there was the unique case of Moirai, the goddess of fate, who inherently possessed titan god power. As a collective goddess, she was a four-in-one entity.
Klotho, Lachesis, Atropos, and Keres, the four fate goddesses, usually had their consciousness dispersed among themselves. When they united, Moirai would awaken.
This time, the enhancement of the underworld led to Moirai experiencing the greatest boost. The four fate goddesses advanced from third-tier gods to first-tier gods, while Moirai herself reached Mephistopheles' level.
Surpassing her siblings, Moirai fully stepped into the pinnacle of titan gods.
Currently, Moirai was just one step away from the God-King level, although this step could be very challenging.
However, being at the threshold made it much easier compared to others.
