I Am Hades, Lord of the Underworld!

Opportunity!

Miracle!

Or perhaps...

It could be called the turning point. Hades was carefully pondering where exactly this path could be found.

"Turning point."

"Or rather..."

Hades whispered softly, "The better opportunity."

Hades understood this very well. The most crucial aspect here was the opportunity. As a God-King, he inherently had this chance, but this opportunity was exceedingly rare.

Even with all of Hades' preparations, his chances had only increased from 0.0001% to 1%.

Undeniably, this was already an astonishing improvement, but it was still not enough. For Hades, a far greater opportunity was needed to move forward.

"Slow and steady."

"Step by step."

"However."

Hades whispered, "I have this one chance. Although it's difficult—extremely difficult—that opportunity is the best one. Seizing that opportunity is the only way to truly break this limit."

Hades' mind was filled with countless thoughts as he carefully considered everything.

Opportunity!

Miracle!

Hades knew he had this one chance. As for whether he would succeed? It was uncertain. No one could say for sure, and it was impossible to predict.

But.

Precisely because of this, it was worth attempting. The path of the gods is never smooth, and it requires continuous progress.

Any slight complacency would have obvious consequences!

Hades considered many things, all very complex and intricate.

Of course.

These were only temporary concerns; there were many more issues to consider and deal with in the future.

"In any case."

Hades temporarily put aside his complicated thoughts and murmured, "For now, let's handle everything in front of us. Opportunities and miracles are just that—opportunities and miracles. Only when truly grasped do they matter."

Hades withdrew from his thoughts and quietly attended to other matters, meticulously arranging each step.

"War and destruction..."

"So then..."

"What will they bring..."

Hades was considering many things.

However!

Hades also knew that all the preparations during the Golden Age were merely initial arrangements. The Golden Age could not bring about any significant changes.

The true actions would only begin with the arrival of the Silver Age.

The Age of Heroes!

This is the most glorious era, where gods, heroes, and humans all shine brightly. 

Likewise, this is the best era because only by seizing this era can one truly move forward. Remember, only in this era is there a real chance.

As for the other eras? Don't kid yourself! The other eras are far too difficult.

And!

Almost all the gods were eagerly preparing because the best era was approaching, and in this best era, the most important things were opportunities and preparations.

...

The Underworld!

At this moment.

The Underworld was steadily advancing and transforming. The entire Underworld only needed time for this steady progression. There wouldn't be any significant changes in the short term.

On the World Tree.

The Ouroboros was quietly sleeping, nurturing its divine powers of sky and earth. It would take time for these powers to continue to grow.

Beneath the Ouroboros lay the Earth Mother Serpent, enveloped in the light representing the earth, quietly awaiting the arrival and return of the other three divine beasts.

Above the Underworld!

Where once there was only the Underworld, now there was also a Star Realm. This small Star Realm contained 365 stars and 108 demon stars.

In short.

The Underworld had now entered a phase of stability and equilibrium.

As for everything else?

In the short term!

There wouldn't be much movement.

Because of this.

The operation and stability of the Underworld didn't need anyone's supervision; it simply needed to continue running smoothly.

The Contract Hell!

Unlike other underworld gods who created planets or small worlds, which required time to gradually transform into true hells, the Contract Hell that Mephist created was a complete hell from the start.

The Contract Hell was part of the Underworld but wasn't considered the main body of the Underworld.

This was normal.

For Hades, the Underworld was the main body, while the other newly born realms in the Underworld were like fiefdoms or vassal kingdoms—important, but not part of the main body.

Their mutual development was more important.

"Mephist!"

"Hehehe~~~"

"Ladies, welcome!"

Mephist greeted the four beautiful goddesses dressed in elegant gowns with a slight bow, a smile full of charm, like a perfect gentleman.

Mephist.

Keres, Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos.

This time!

The meeting of the five underworld gods was straightforward.

Mephist had the chance to go further; he had already reached the pinnacle of the Titan Gods, just half a step away from the level of the supreme God-King.

At this moment!

What stood between Mephist and his goal was a thin barrier. To break through it, he needed the souls of seven heroes, each embodying one of the seven deadly sins.

The four Goddesses of Fate were in a similar situation. Their combined form, the Moirai, was also at this threshold. To advance further, they needed to weave a grand web of fate and compose a hymn of destiny.

But!

This was far from easy. Accomplishing all of this was nearly impossible.

For the four Goddesses of Fate, this task was even more difficult than for Mephist. Mephist only had to deceive seven heroes—a simple task for the master of deception.

However, for the Goddesses of Fate, composing a hymn of destiny was like an absurd joke.

God-King!

To reach the level of a God-King, the hymn of destiny would need to cover the entire Greek Mythological World, at the very least encompassing the Earth Realm, the Sea Realm, and the Sky Realm.

Otherwise!

It would be utterly meaningless.
