Chapter 27 The Myth Begins Henceforth

"You truly are kind and wise."

Once Hestia had finished speaking, Prometheus couldn't help but praise her. The gods nodded in agreement, recognizing it as a great idea, but Hades, who had been silent, expressed a different opinion.

"My sister, your idea is commendable, but how do we measure the proper degree here?"

"Unless mortals stand directly before us, we simply cannot judge to what extent a particular human is devout or faithless. Nowadays, the power of the deities on Earth has been limited."

"Moreover, if a devout human is willing to sacrifice everything for the gods and asks for divinity to achieve eternal life, is that equivalent?"

"For mortals, he has given up everything. But to the gods, no matter how devout a person is, he could never equate to divinity."

The great hall fell silent once again; it had to be admitted, the words of the King of the Underworld made sense.
