Soon, under the gaze of several gods, Aston's potion successfully took shape.

At the moment of formation, the crimson test tube emitted a jade-green glow.

Yes, it was a jade-green glow.

The potion was red, but the emitted light was jade-green, representing the vital green color. It was quite peculiar, and as time passed, the radiance became more dazzling. Eventually, the entire underground cathedral was filled with this glow, turning the entire church into a jade-green sea of light.

"Uh, Hestia, was it like this when Aston made the breast enhancement potion for Loki before?" After being astonished for two seconds, Hephaestus pulled Hestia's hand and asked, finding the scene before them somewhat beyond their expectations.

"Uh, no, there was no such situation before; it was entirely normal. After making it, there was no emitted light." Hestia was also surprised at this moment, shook her head, and denied.

"This change has entered the realm of gods." As the god of medicine, among the present individuals, Miach was the most knowledgeable about potions. And, at this moment, he showed a shocked expression and said aloud.

"Huh??" Miach's words immediately drew everyone's attention, each wearing an expression that seemed to say, "Are you serious?" Even Aston was no exception.

"Ah, I am very certain. This potion can already be compared to the divine potions I made when I was in the heavenly realm, and its effects may even be stronger." Miach nodded solemnly, affirming.

His affirmation left Aston a bit dumbfounded.

Wasn't it supposed to be at the level of Grandmaster and above to compete with gods?

How come the potions I'm currently making at the Master level are considered potions of the divine realm?

Inwardly, Aston called upon the system.

"System?"

"This system has never said that Grandmaster level is equivalent to the gods in this world."

"Master level skills are already in the realm of the gods in this world."

"Before, it was all the host's imagination, speculation, and self-righteousness." The system quickly gave a response, and Aston seemed to detect a trace of disdain in the tone.

Listening to the system's answer, Aston's eye twitched.

"So, it turns out it was all my fault before."

"I thought my previous potions were effective for Loki. It turns out that the potions I made before were already divine-level potions."

"However, it's not entirely my fault. The term 'Grandmaster' is too deceptive, making people associate it with the divine. Who could have thought it was a level surpassing the gods."

"Speaking of which, things that even gods in the heavenly realm couldn't change have been changed by me. Does this mean that my proficiency in potion-making has surpassed those medical gods in the heavenly realm?"

"In other words, I have surpassed the gods?" Aston's thoughts gradually drifted, expanding, but the next moment, the system woke him up.

"Wake up, host, don't daydream."

"All you possess are life and auxiliary professions. The host itself is still weak; please don't think of rising to the heavens."

"It's not even worth thinking about." Having his daydream shattered by the system, Aston felt a bit displeased in his heart. Then, Aston curiously asked the system, "System, since Master level has been compared to the gods, what level is Grandmaster?"

Aston was very curious about this; the system had said before that above Master level is Grandmaster. Now that Master level has been compared to the gods, what kind of brilliance would Grandmaster level, which is above Master, have?

"The levels vary in each world, and the legacies acquired by the host are also different. The legacy obtained by the host, Master level is equivalent to the gods in this world, while Grandmaster level is the world level of this world," the system quickly replied.

"So, the Divine Blood Potion is considered a creation at the Grandmaster level?"

"Yes, host."

"I see, I understand now."

After asking these two questions, Aston did not continue to inquire with the system. Instead, holding the potion he had just made, the Vital Spirit Potion, he approached Hephaestus.

As the name suggests, the Vital Spirit Potion can revive the dead and heal living beings. No matter how severe the injury, as long as one is not dead, it can be cured. This kind of potion is rare and can only be created by a Master-level alchemist. It can be said that it's using a sledgehammer to crack a nut to use it for treating a scar.

However, Hephaestus's scar is not an ordinary one but an innate one for her as a god. In this unchanging world of gods, it is an incurable disease, impossible to change.

Aston didn't know if his potion could take effect.

In theory, since the Master-level breast enhancement potion he made before could have an effect on Loki, the Vital Spirit Potion he made now should also be effective for Hephaestus.

"Here, Hephaestus, give it a try." In Hephaestus's excited emotions, Aston handed over the potion in his hand.

Taking a deep breath and forcefully calming herself down, Hephaestus took the potion and drank it all in one gulp, under the scrutiny of everyone.

The next moment, as the potion entered her stomach, a change occurred in Hephaestus. A jade-green glow emerged from her body, especially dazzling in the area where she wore the eyepatch.

Everyone could tell that the potion's effect was taking place, attempting to repair the scar on Hephaestus's face. However, they were unsure if it would be successful.

Everyone looked on with hopeful expressions, including Hephaestus herself.

After consuming the potion, she felt a warm sensation throughout her body, very comfortable. However, in the next moment, she felt an intensely hot sensation from the area under the eyepatch, causing her to involuntarily close her other eye, with a slightly contorted expression.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers felt a moment of concern. Did something go wrong?

However, soon after, they saw Hephaestus open her eyes, the eyepatch naturally fell off, revealing what was underneath.

After seeing the condition under the eyepatch, everyone remained stunned in place, silent.

"How is it? Did it work?" Hephaestus asked somewhat anxiously.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sound next to Hestia, followed by Hestia's excited exclamation.

"Hephaestus!!!"

"It worked, it worked! Hephaestus, the scar on your face has finally disappeared!!!"

Hearing this, Hephaestus dared to place her hand on the area she hadn't touched for a long time. The smooth skin shocked Hephaestus, and tears silently rolled down from the corner of her eyes.

"The scar, it's gone!!!"

The next moment, Hephaestus abruptly pushed away from Hestia, took big steps forward, and directly embraced Aston.

Being suddenly embraced by Hephaestus, Aston didn't dare to move for a moment, holding his hands up with nowhere to put them.

Then, Hephaestus's voice sounded in his ear.

"Thank you, Aston."

Hearing these words, Aston finally lowered his hands and hugged Hephaestus.

Observing this scene, the onlookers didn't say anything, just smiling as they watched the two embracing each other.
