Pandora's way of changing the subject was quite stiff.
However.
Sora didn't continue saying anything about it.
Sora asked with a hint of curiosity: "What I'm more curious about is, what exactly is the essence of the Holy War?"
"A Holy War every 243 years."
"Athena and Hades are the two sides of this game."
"Besides that."
"Poseidon and other gods also participate from time to time."
"Is there something special about the earth?"
This was also something Sora had always been most curious about.
Don't tell him something like.
Athena wanted to protect the earth's safety and peace.
That would be pure nonsense.
If gods really had that kind of thinking, they wouldn't be gods.
For gods.
Humans were just sheep that could provide faith.
Besides that?
Haha!
Sora was willing to call them consumables.
"Once upon a time."
"The supreme absolute god, Chaos, created this world."
"After that."
"Gaia, the Earth Goddess, conceived the complete world."
Ker began to explain.
"Among these."
"The earth was conceived first, and on the earth was born the first life, as well as the first of everything."
"Because of this."
"The earth is always filled with endless vitality."
"Over time."
"Every 243 years, the earth will conceive a batch of divine artifacts."
"And this batch of divine artifacts is endless."
Ker's explanation made Sora understand what the specific situation was all about.
Resources!
Don't think that gods are beings that need nothing.
Even the Saints in the Primordial world - ask them if they're interested in innate treasures and chaotic divine artifacts?
To put it bluntly.
No matter what faction or existence, they're always interested in resources.
Even if I can't use them, can't I give them to my subordinates?
"The Age of Myth."
"The fundamental reason for the Divine War of the Three Kings."
"Was exactly this."
Ker described with a touch of reminiscence: "The Earth Goddess fell into slumber, and she brought out the authority over the earth."
"Hades, Poseidon, Zeus."
"The three God Kings launched a prolonged divine war."
"Yes!"
"This was also the first Holy War in recorded history."
"I see."
Sora nodded in understanding. If that was the case, then everything could be understood.
"Subsequently."
"It evolved into what it is now?"
"Every 243 years."
"The Holy War begins, Hades seeks to occupy the earth, while Athena became Zeus's blade, responsible for blocking other gods?"
Sora reached his conclusion.
Ker nodded: "Your Majesty, what you said is correct. This is the origin of the Holy War."
"And besides the divine artifact resources conceived by the earth every 243 years."
"Actually."
"For gods, it's also about competing for faith."
"The power of faith."
"Cannot be provided by just any random life."
Ker paused for a moment, then continued: "For many powerful gods, creating divine kingdoms and creating life isn't difficult."
"However."
"This is a meaningless endeavor."
"These lives cannot truly provide faith."
"Only life that is truly conceived during the world's development process can provide the power of faith."
Listening to Ker's words, Sora was contemplating many things.
Obviously.
Whether divine artifacts or faith.
For a god.
As long as one controlled the earth, that would represent massive resources.
With the support of these massive resources.
One could push their divine power to a powerful level, not to mention the development of subordinate forces.
"Actually."
Pandora said at this time: "Your Majesty, just as you said, why not choose to form Underworld Warriors from geniuses."
"It's not that the former Hades didn't want to do this."
"But he simply couldn't."
"Real geniuses, as soon as they're born, are already locked onto by Sanctuary and taken away."
"Sanctuary manages the earth, and what kind of existences are born on earth."
"They're the ones who truly know."
"Even to say..."
Pandora said with a touch of helplessness: "Many times, Hades' human vessel, as soon as it's born, before the Holy War even starts, is already found by Sanctuary and the human vessel is killed, and the Holy War is already over."
"That's not surprising either."
"After all, it's fighting on their territory."
Sora understood this, especially after becoming the master of the Evil Stars.
He also understood.
The Evil Stars conceived Surplices.
Actually!
Each Underworld Warrior was just chosen by an Evil Star, and after death, the Evil Star would absorb them as pure divine power.
The Evil Stars would be enhanced.
This was a process of gradual accumulation.
Of course.
If the Underworld Warrior was a genius, they could naturally display even more powerful strength.
But from the current perspective?
The Underworld's Underworld Warriors were basically a gathering of random cats and dogs.
No choice.
Plus with the Mokurenji berries seized by Sanctuary, Holy War after Holy War, not only did the Evil Stars not get enhanced, but they were weakened again and again.
"Hades really was embarrassing."
Persephone said with a smile full of meaning: "Hades' failure was destined. His repeated Holy Wars were completely meaningless. In my opinion, it would be better to accumulate strength and then launch a Holy War all at once. The chances of victory would be greater than repeated Holy Wars."
"..."
Pandora and Ker found it difficult to speak.
They also couldn't say much.
Mainly because.
This was fact. Repeatedly sealed, repeatedly weakened.
Hades wasn't without chances of victory, but he squandered those chances himself.
In Hades' eyes, frankly speaking, he never truly regarded Athena as important.
Just a junior, what was there to worry about?
This was probably Hades' thinking.
