Chapter 135: Underworld! The Cyclops Brothers' Astonishment!

Hades put away the Invisible Helmet. Poseidon put away the Trident. Zeus put away the Thunder. Everything seemed to return to calm.

Then, Hades said quietly, "Cyclops, come with me to the Underworld."

"Alright," Ray nodded. "After handling matters in the Underworld, my brothers and I will work on Poseidon's modifications, and then we'll give Zeus what he needs."

"Fine."

"No problem."

Poseidon and Zeus had no objections. It was reasonable. After all, if they handed Zeus his knowledge first, who knows how it might affect the Cyclops brothers? That wouldn't be good.

Thus, this matter was settled. Hades took the Twin Gods and the Cyclops brothers and left the Heart of the Ocean. The rest of the tasks were no longer his concern. As for the upcoming Titan War, the three god-kings tacitly decided not to discuss it further. They understood that dealing with these matters first was more important. Everything else could be addressed afterward.

In this regard, the three god-kings were very much in sync. They all knew that they needed the Cyclops brothers' help, which was crucial.

Hades opened the gate to the Underworld and led the Cyclops brothers inside.

"..."

As they arrived at Yomotsu Hirasaka, the Cyclops brothers were astonished.

What... what is this?

The Cyclops brothers looked at the Underworld, filled with disbelief. Without entering the Underworld, one cannot comprehend how magnificent and terrifying it truly is.

"This... this..." Electric's single eye widened in shock, his voice trembling, "Is that the World Tree? Yes! It's the World Tree, nurtured to full growth! How... how is that possible?"

Electric couldn't believe it. How could one nurture the World Tree to such an extent?

It wasn't a joke!

Electric couldn't imagine it. What kind of feat was this?

That was the World Tree! In the mythical world, even getting the World Tree to sprout was extremely difficult. To nurture it fully? Impossible!

The sky and earth had been born.

The elements of earth, water, fire, and wind had emerged.

The entire world had begun to operate in full.

"..."

The Cyclops brothers were completely silent. They couldn't comprehend the enormity of the task that had been accomplished.

But the fact was right before their eyes!

For a moment, the Twin Gods couldn't help but stand tall with pride. Did you see that? This is the Underworld created by our Lord Hades. Although the Twin Gods didn't have much to do with the creation of the Underworld, it didn't stop them from feeling proud!

For followers, it's always about the glory of their god. If their god is strong, they can walk with confidence and pride.

As the saying goes: "You should respect the master even when scolding the dog." Would you dare to disrespect Lord Hades' followers?

Hades said quietly, "Hypnos, Thanatos, take care of that matter."

"Yes, Lord Hades!"

The Twin Gods hesitated slightly but quickly understood. Their Lord Hades knew what they were up to. They respectfully bowed and then left.

With the Twin Gods gone, Ray spoke with shock but also seriousness, "Hades, have you built your divine kingdom with the World Tree at its core?"

"Ray," Hades said calmly, "That's not something you need to know."

"Indeed, it isn't," Ray nodded, not pressing further. Knowing too much wasn't beneficial.

Hades continued, "I have three divine stones. I need you three to forge a divine artifact."

Hades revealed the three stones: Darkness, Underworld, and Night. The Cyclops brothers were stunned.

"What is this?" Electric exclaimed, "Brother, aren't these divine stones nurtured by Ancient Gods?"

"Let me see!" Ray shoved his brother aside, carefully examining the stones. After a moment, he confirmed, "Indeed! These are stones only Ancient Gods can nurture."

"But..." Ray seemed puzzled. Such stones had little use for Ancient Gods, but taking them from an Ancient God was nearly impossible.

Ray decided not to delve further. Whether it was the World Tree or these divine stones, it wasn't worth overthinking.

Knowing too much could lead to disaster. The Cyclops brothers understood this well.

Ray then asked seriously, "Hades, do you plan to forge only this one artifact?"

Hades nodded, "Yes, that's sufficient. Here are the materials. Choose what you need."

Hades opened his hand, revealing numerous magical materials, displaying all the necessary resources. The rest was no longer his concern.

As for whether they would succeed? Hades had no doubt. Given the abundance of materials, failure would be surprising.

Hades stood aside, waiting patiently as the Cyclops brothers began their work. The prospect of forging such a powerful artifact reignited their passion, just as their excitement from crafting the previous three artifacts had begun to settle.
