Zeus decided it was time to revert to his original form. With a swift motion, he removed the Hephaestus mask, feeling the surge of power shift as he placed the Zeus mask back on.
The transformation was immediate, the fiery strength of Hephaestus fading as the thunderous energy of Zeus took over. The Hephaestus mask, now inactive, disappeared back into the system.
He paused for a moment, then asked the system, "Has Lucy finished cultivating?"
[Oh, she's been soaking up that volcanic mana like a sponge,] the system replied, its tone dripping with pride. [She's on her way back now, practically radiating with power.]
Zeus smirked at the system's shameless enthusiasm. "Good," he murmured, just as Lucy appeared in the distance, her expression as cold and composed as ever.
