Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus.
The three God-Kings were discussing pertinent matters, while on the ground, the divine war was developing at a different pace with the return of these three deities.
What did this signify? The battle where Hades directly killed Hyperion was witnessed by all gods, and the return of Poseidon and Zeus indicated that both the Sea Realm and the Sky Realm had been handled.
In an instant, the morale of all new gods soared to unprecedented heights. This surge in morale propelled all new gods to launch even more astonishing attacks. The Titan gods, caught unprepared and demoralized, were forced to retreat continuously.
Sleep!
Death!
These two laws, empowered by boundless divine energy, swept through numerous Titans before them. Some were caught in their sleep, while others were utterly decayed in death.
Subsequently, their corpses fell into the Underworld, becoming nutrients to feed the entire realm over time.
This is the uniqueness of the Underworld. Under Hades' development, the Underworld had formed a near-perfect cycle. Anything that was born, even impurities, could be broken down into pure divine energy, albeit in very small amounts. Even industrial waste from the technological era, though seemingly useless, could be transformed into energy in the Underworld.
But! This is extremely important for the Underworld. While other gods might see waste as useless, for the Underworld, everything could bring enhancement over time, which was the greatest benefit.
For the Underworld, the Titan war provided the most significant gain. Everything from the surface world to the Titan gods was a vital resource.
Moreover, the Underworld, represented by Hades, was the first to arrive in the surface world. Poseidon and Zeus came later, meaning they could not absorb as many resources.
Additionally, the Underworld was not picky about resources. As long as it was a resource, they would consume everything, without any hesitation.
"Phew~~"
Thanatos exhaled deeply and said softly, "Hypnos, with the new gods' battle fervor ignited, and the return of the Sea Emperor and Sky Emperor, the battlefield on the surface world will rapidly advance in the short term."
"I understand," Hypnos nodded, "However, this is just one aspect. More importantly, we must seize resources. No matter what the resource is, we cannot miss it. It is crucial for the Underworld."
As the commander of the Underworld forces, Hypnos knew that the real decisive factor in the Titan war was not the gods' battle prowess.
New Gods!
Titan Gods!
The battle between these two factions had its significance, but the true outcome hinged on the battle between the three God-Kings and the Titan God-King.
If the three God-Kings won, even if the new gods were defeated, it wouldn't matter. Conversely, the same would apply if the Titan God-King won.
Why continue the divine war then?
Well, because Mount Othrys was blocked by the Titan Pantheon. Without defeating the Titans, one couldn't even enter Mount Othrys.
In simple terms, defeating the Titans was necessary to open the entrance to Mount Othrys and face the Titan God-King. Failing to do so meant lacking the qualification to face him.
Apart from that, everything else was relatively simple. The reason why the three God-Kings didn't personally intervene was because it would be disgraceful for them. While war was a serious matter, for the God-Kings, doing something disgraceful would be remembered forever.
Reputation matters greatly to gods, especially at the level of God-Kings. Besides the Ancient Gods, the three God-Kings were the highest rulers of the mythological world.
If these rulers acted disgracefully, they would be mocked forever. The poor reputation of the Western Two Sages in the prehistoric world was due to their shameless actions for the development of the West.
Thus, reputation is very important, even for the future.
Currently, everything was developing positively. With the forces of the Underworld, Sea God, and Sky God leading the charge, the battlefield was not being completely flattened, but the tide was turning significantly.
Especially with the Titan gods' morale low and the new gods' morale high, the stalemate at three-tenths of the surface world was completely broken.
The newfound strength of the new gods, combined with the Sea God and Sky God joining the battle, rapidly pushed the battlefield to cover four-tenths of the surface world, and it was still advancing quickly.
"Hmm~~~"
Hypnos thought for a moment and said, "Ker, make arrangements. Notify all Underworld gods to prioritize resources. As for everything else, we can advance slowly. The divine war on the surface world won't be simple."
"Understood."
Ker nodded and then left. As the head of the Four Fates, she did not participate directly in the war. Instead, she and the other Fates handled various tasks. If necessary, the Four Fates could team up to deal with critical issues on the battlefield, akin to the top-level power of the Titan god Malcador.
This was crucial, as it ensured the war could be managed effectively.
In a short time, the new gods' side had already taken control of over half of the surface world, while the Titan Pantheon was being steadily pushed back.
