Chapter 139: Completed Forging! The Cyclops Brothers' Most Perfect Masterpiece!

Hades did not concern himself with the actions of his subordinate gods. Whether they succeeded or failed, it didn't matter much to him. If they succeeded, he would reward them. If they failed, he wouldn't punish them.

After all, even though he hadn't directly participated or commanded this endeavor, he had tacitly approved of it. It was better not to be too heartless. A god-king devoid of compassion would one day be overthrown by his own subordinates.

At this moment.

In the Underworld.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The three Cyclops brothers wielded their eternal hammers, pounding around the cosmic forge. Under their immense effort, a blade was gradually taking shape, nearing its final stage.

In fact, the Cyclops brothers were visibly weakened, indicating that even they found the forging of this divine artifact to be exhausting and arduous.

"..." 

Hades had been quietly observing the Cyclops brothers' actions, silently watching the forging of this divine artifact.

"Hah~~~" 

With a final strike, Brontes panted heavily and collapsed, leaning against the cosmic forge without worrying about being burned. After all, it was his own divine forge, and it wouldn't harm him.

Brontes was extremely weak, panting as he said, "Hades! We're almost at the final step. Be prepared to use your heart's blood to consecrate and quench this divine artifact."

"I understand," Hades nodded coldly.

Heart's blood was extremely precious to any deity. Losing even a drop could take an unknown amount of time to recover from, and it might even cause a regression in their divine power.

However, for Hades, it would only result in temporary weakness. He would just need to stay in the Underworld and not leave until he recovered, which was not a big problem.

Brontes said no more, sitting there weakly.

Steropes and Arges sent the blade back into the cosmic forge, where it needed to be tempered under the forging flames for a while longer.

The Cyclops brothers leaned weakly against the forge, recovering as quickly as possible. At this stage, they couldn't afford to relax even a little. They needed to recover in the shortest time possible.

Otherwise!

Hehehe~~~

The final forging could go wrong. The Cyclops brothers did not want that. The invisibility helmet, trident, and thunderbolt had been considered their greatest masterpieces, but now they realized that this new divine artifact had the potential to be their most perfect creation. 

"..." 

Hades watched the resting Cyclops brothers and, with a thought, sent wisps of divine power from the Underworld into their bodies, helping them recover.

The Cyclops brothers were surprised but did not refuse. Hades didn't want his divine artifact to encounter any problems, and if he had to use some of the World Tree's divine power, so be it.

Additionally, Hades glanced at a piece of divine fire that had been taken. Initially, he had been contemplating how to acquire the forging fire, but it turned out to be surprisingly easy to take.

This piece of forging fire wouldn't affect anything. It wasn't the seed of the fire, just a piece of divine fire that still needed to be nurtured over time to become a true seed of forging fire.

"Phew~~~"

Brontes exhaled deeply, opening his single eye as he and his brothers stood up, seemingly fully recovered.

At this moment, the twin gods, Phobos and Deimos, appeared, standing silently beside Hades. They said nothing, and Hades paid no mind to their presence.

Then!

Mephisto, Aether, and Hemera arrived at the Underworld as well. Unlike the twin gods, they waited quietly around, prepared for anything.

Safety was paramount! The forging of this divine artifact would inevitably drain Hades. If something went wrong during his period of weakness, it could be fatal. 

Thus, five Titan-level gods stood guard, their combined power and laws ready to quell any disturbances from the Cyclops brothers instantly.

The Cyclops brothers noticed this but didn't mind. Distrust was normal! For gods, it was wise not to trust others completely. 

Otherwise?

Hehehe~~~

Things could go wrong! Gods were never a friendly bunch. Absolute trust could lead to unforeseen disasters, possibly even death without understanding how it happened.

This was no joke, and Hades watched everything calmly. As time passed, the divine artifact forged by the Cyclops brothers finally emerged perfectly.

"It's about time..."

"Hades!"

"Prepare yourself!"

The Cyclops brothers, each skilled in their role, moved with precision. They informed Hades to be ready, using three primordial god stones combined with countless rare divine materials.

At this moment!

How astonishing was this divine artifact?

To be honest!

Even the Cyclops brothers were unsure. They had never imagined that they would forge such a perfect divine artifact in their lifetime.

This...

This...

Indeed, forging such a perfect masterpiece could potentially elevate them even further.
