Chapter 134: Invisible Helmet, Trident, Thunder

The Twin Gods.

Prometheus.

Their thoughts? Hades and Zeus were unclear for the moment. Of course, Zeus might truly not know, while Hades, even if he did know, would not care about such matters. 

It wasn't anything important. 

Metis, Prometheus. These two were gods of wisdom, standing on the same level as Coeus, just as Coeus was called the prophet. But what significance did it have?

If pure wisdom could overturn everything, should the king of the Titan pantheon be Coeus? Should Zeus' position be expected by Prometheus? Wisdom is merely a means to achieve victory. To think that wisdom alone could reverse everything is only feasible when both sides are evenly matched, or one side is slightly weaker. Any significant disparity renders it meaningless.

The world of gods is incredibly complex, yet at the same time, very simple. Divine power and laws prove everything. This is the essence of the gods. They are essentially a group of beings where the strong devour the weak. 

Otherwise, would the gods be all amiable and friendly? Clearly, this is impossible.

Therefore, while Hades might find Metis and Prometheus troublesome at times, he wouldn't be overly concerned. Gods who exist solely based on wisdom are needed for prophecy, as the goddess of wisdom, as the god of wisdom, or whatever other titles they might hold. But fundamentally, they are insignificant. 

This is the hard truth.

When not needed, eliminating them is easy. In the original stories, Prometheus stood no chance against Zeus.

As for Athena? 

Athena is the goddess of war, wisdom, and victory. Is she merely a goddess of wisdom?

So, Hades didn't particularly care about these two gods representing wisdom. If the Twin Gods wanted to target them, that was fine. If his subordinate gods wanted to work for him, why refuse?

Of course, at this moment, the Cyclops brothers were unaware of external events. They had reached a critical stage.

The Invisible Helmet, Trident, and Thunder. These three artifacts required the craftsmanship of the Cyclops brothers. The process wouldn't take long, with the world's assistance speeding it along. The materials would enhance the artifacts' quality, not the crafting time.

"Alright, let's begin." Ray exhaled deeply, his eyes sharp. "Everyone, present your divine blood. It will sanctify and finalize these artifacts."

"Okay."

"No problem."

"Got it!"

Zeus was excited, but Hades and Poseidon remained calm.

As divine blood floated in the air, it was naturally drawn into the cosmic forge.

Boom, boom, boom! The heartbeat-like sound echoed in the heart of the ocean, as three beams of light—black, blue, and purple—shot into the sky.

The immense divine power surged, and in an instant, everything seemed to return to calm.

Everything had changed.

Ray wiped the sweat from his forehead, speaking calmly, "Gentlemen, your artifacts are complete. These are artifacts that rival, even surpass, those of the true gods. It's remarkable!"

The Cyclops brothers—Ray, Thunder, and Lightning—were visibly excited.

For a blacksmith of their level, capable of being called god-tier, creating top-tier artifacts was of utmost importance. 

And these artifacts, with their divine power, rivaled, even surpassed, those of the true gods. This accomplishment thrilled the Cyclops brothers.

As the light faded, three silhouettes floated silently in mid-air, awaiting their masters.

On the left was a sea-blue trident, plain yet emanating a strong oceanic aura.

In the center was a black helmet, more a headpiece than a helmet by design.

On the right was a purple staff, crackling with endless lightning and crowned with a swirling purple thundercloud.

The Invisible Helmet, Trident, and Thunder.

These were the artifacts of the new generation of god-kings. With the vast materials used, they now possessed divine power that could surpass that of the true gods.

"Hahaha~~~" Lightning laughed excitedly, "Brothers! We've done it! We've forged artifacts that can surpass the true gods. The Titans are doomed!"

"Indeed!"

"Exactly!"

Thunder's eyes shone with excitement, matching the smiles of his brothers.

Ray also smiled. The Cyclops brothers were truly thrilled. These artifacts, this divine power—they had forged them. 

Next, these artifacts would be used to defeat the Titans they despised. The thought alone excited them to no end.
