Chapter 100 - Chapter 100: Pie in the Sky, Obsidian

Agares stared into their eyes, keenly capturing the remaining pain, fear, and the rekindled light of hope in their eyes.

He knew clearly why the giants agreed so quickly. Although his mother's order was dominant, the giants' deep-seated fear of powerful forces prevented them from having the slightest desire to resist.

The deterrent effect brought by powerful force is extraordinary.

Agares knew that he couldn't further irritate their sensitive nerves, so he comforted them casually: "You just need to do your best to assist me, and the final result will definitely not disappoint you. Moreover, Mother will always pay close attention to our progress."

His words revealed a firmness and confidence, as if sending a reassuring signal to the giants.

"Great! Great and noble God of Earthquakes! You are our most respected uncle! Let's get started! We will definitely not let our mother down!" The giant became excited again and roared at the top of his lungs.

When the giant heard Uncle Earthquake say the words "mother's concern", his heart seemed to be struck by lightning, and he couldn't help but let out a scream like ghosts and wolves howling.

At this moment, Agares always felt that something was wrong in his heart, as if he had become a Greek god of empty promises.

Agares tried to put aside the irrelevant thoughts in his mind, stared at the giant, and took out Uriya's spine from his arms.

Then, he used the divinity of the earth to conduct a comprehensive exploration of the entire depths of the earth, quickly locked onto the target, and successfully removed a piece of underground obsidian of a moderate size.

Agares stared at the obsidian in his hand that was as light as a feather, and a strange yet familiar feeling came over him.

Suddenly, it dawned on him that this was exactly the material of the mysterious black stone pillar held by the mud giant summoned by his mother before!

At that time, nothing was known about it, except that it was extremely strong and not even a powerful being like Uranus could destroy it.

Now the truth is finally revealed, it turns out that this is the underground foundation!

But can giants really forge and hammer this kind of stone?

Agares looked at the giant smiling innocently in front of him, weighed it in his hand, and couldn't help but have a little doubt in his heart: It's so light, maybe they can really do it? Well, let's give it a try first!

"Got it!" Agares no longer hesitated and threw the light obsidian in his hand directly towards one of the hundred-armed giants.

"Ah!" Faced with the sudden and fast-moving stone, the giant seemed a little flustered, but by using hundreds of arms at the same time, he finally managed to catch the stone.

However, the weight of the stone was beyond the giant's expectation, and he and the stone fell heavily to the ground.

"Wow~" Agares raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this. This stone didn't look like this when it was in his hand?

Could it be because of the earth? But Agares didn't need to worry about it at the moment. When he was about to provide some help to the giant, the giant had already stood up again with the obsidian in his hand.

He was just not prepared just now. This time, after the giant regained his strength, he finally succeeded in lifting this not-so-big piece of obsidian.

Judging from his expression, it seems that he has not reached his limit yet.

However, God did not know whether the red faces of the many heads of the hundred-armed giant were caused by strength or because of shame.

Agares did not take this little episode to heart. He calmly took out the Dark Night given by Nyx from his arms and gently waved it above the cave wall.

In silence, the night and darkness blended perfectly as if they were born to be a perfect match. Without a sound, the night quickly spread along the darkness like flowing water until it covered the entire cave space.

It tightly wraps the underground world where Agares and others live.

The earth, darkness and night are closely connected, and together they will guard the secret of "killing the sky".

Observed from the outside, this area underground is still endlessly dark, just like before.

However, the giants fell into an unprecedented silence.

The powerful force that obviously came from the Goddess of Night made these simple-minded giants feel alert - they seemed to have been involved in an unimaginable action.

But this realization made them even more determined. As long as they followed their uncle's instructions and fulfilled their mother's mission, they would be able to regain their freedom!

Agares touched the night sky, but his fingers did not touch anything. Agares sighed in his heart: "It is worthy of being the original night and darkness!"

With insurance in hand, Agares confidently used his divine power to summon a blazing flame in front of the one-eyed giant and the hundred-armed giant.

However, what he did not expect was that these giants, at this moment, were like mice meeting a cat. Their bodies trembled unconsciously and shrank inward.

"Ah? This..." Agares could not help but feel very surprised, thinking to himself: "How can this be possible? You are forging craftsmen, how can you be afraid of fire?"

But Agares thought about it again, it seemed to be caused by him, so he could only helplessly comfort him softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay. The flame is actually like the hammer in your hand, it's just a tool we use to manipulate it. Are you afraid of the power that you control?"

In order to allow these giants to better use this owned flame, Agares decided to give them a certain degree of power.

So he declared: "In the name of the God of Fire, the great giants under the glory of the earth! I hereby grant you the glory of fire! May the flame and high temperature become the most effective partners in your forging skills!"

As if it understood its master's words, the flame began to jump happily and reluctantly agreed to lend its powerful strength to these fledgling forgers.

Thus, the concept of fire, which represents endless heat, like a devout believer, obeyed the will of the God of Fire and descended into the field of forging.

The newly born forging field welcomed this powerful fire force as if it were a treasure and happily accepted it.

After all, why not enjoy such a huge benefit without paying any price? It just needs to enjoy the benefits of this power!

However, this can be regarded as a small trick or conspiracy of Agares, integrating some of his own concepts into the field of forging.
