Prometheus broke the seal?
How was it opened?
Who opened it?
Unknown!
No one knew.
However!
All the gods knew that the God of Wisdom who had once used intelligence to scheme against the God King had returned again.
This was already a chaotic era - what would happen next?
Like adding fuel to fire.
The era led by Persephone and Apollo had undergone violent upheaval once again.
Of course.
This had nothing to do with Sora. His divine fire had nearly burned that goddess to ashes, and everything had come to an end.
"Huff~~~"
Sora exhaled turbid air. The portal's cooldown time was about to end.
And.
Demeter hadn't appeared. As for Persephone?
She sat here gracefully. No matter how you looked at it, she was still a God King, naturally more powerful than her mother.
Sora surveyed his surroundings. Almost everyone had arrived.
Of course.
Except for those he called canaries, everyone had arrived.
Sora crossed his legs, surveying his surroundings: "Since everyone's here, I won't waste words. Let's directly handle the fourth world and conclude the first phase."
All the women nodded.
Sawamura Sayuri, Akasaka Akane, and Katou Hiromi.
The three women quietly took notes.
As secretaries.
Now.
This was their work.
Sora rubbed his temples slightly: "First, after completing the Overlord world, the first phase will completely conclude. The second phase is hard to say for now."
"However."
"Right now, the first phase hasn't ended yet, so I won't say more for the time being."
"The attitude toward this world is simple."
"Complete conquest."
"Although."
"Given this world's strength, conquest won't be difficult - it could even be said to be very simple - we still need to be vigilant about what we should be vigilant about. After all, who knows if some troublesome existences might appear in this world."
Sora quietly cautioned them. In worlds with strange settings like this.
Who knew if some background character might suddenly jump out.
Although.
Theoretically speaking!
His Persephone had already reached truly hyper-singular standards. In these worlds, problems were almost impossible.
But...
What's that saying?
It's not the ten thousand you fear, but the one-in-ten-thousand chance. What if something did happen?
So.
What should be prepared in advance still needed to be prepared in advance. All preparations still needed to be made ahead of time.
If real problems occurred, that would be troublesome.
"Mm!"
All the women nodded extremely seriously.
They were all prepared for these things.
"There are no problems with the materials, right?"
Sora swept his gaze over everyone present.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, Najenda, and Kocho Kanae - all three women nodded. These had already been confirmed and there would be no problems.
"Very good."
Sora nodded satisfactorily.
Persephone said gently: "For everyone, this is also training. This world isn't particularly powerful, but! The preparations that should be made still need to be made. After that, this time, you will take action."
"Us?"
All the women were stunned.
It seemed they were somewhat flustered for a moment.
After all.
The conclusion of the first phase was being handed directly to them?
Sora simply took the cigarette that Persephone lit for him and said nothing.
Persephone smiled and said: "Ker will accompany you. Sora and I will also enter subsequently, but! We won't participate in most matters."
"How should it be done?"
"Specifically how to do it?"
"Many things!"
"These are all matters you need to handle yourselves."
"So then..."
Persephone swept her gaze over everyone present: "The time limit is ten days. No rewards, no punishments - everything must be completed within ten days."
"Yes!"
All the women nodded extremely seriously.
Although.
They were somewhat flustered, when it was time to be serious, they had to be serious.
Everyone present wasn't ordinary people either. It was time to take action.
"Mm."
Persephone smiled and said: "The Demon Stars will be distributed to you. Remember! Everything must be handled within ten days. Don't let anyone down!"
"Yes!"
Hearing the women's seriousness, Sora also smiled, stood up, and spread one hand.
Instantly.
The brilliant portal appeared once again.
Without Sora needing to say more, the women had already entered.
"Hehehe~~~"
The corner of Sora's mouth curved into a rich smile.
Persephone said softly: "Sora, isn't this a bit too early?"
Obviously.
Persephone still had some concerns. After all, no matter how you looked at it, it was still too fast.
This was only a few months' time.
For those who joined last like Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri, and Katou Megumi.
This was only three months!
This...
Was there really no problem?
The secretarial team led by Pandora also looked over. They were also curious, though of course, they had no right to voice their opinions.
Sora said casually: "Everything must be faced eventually. I have a feeling that very soon! It won't be long before we can open two portals simultaneously. When that time comes, these experiences will always be necessary."
"Moreover."
"If I manage all world conquests myself, that's not a good thing either."
Although...
Most of the time, Sora was almost in a state of slacking off.
But!
When Sora went to that world to oversee the overall situation, for everyone, their mindset and state would be completely different.
This was an undoubtedly fundamental matter.
Precisely because of this.
What needed to be prepared must be prepared well, with advance training.
Sora was indifferent toward the canaries he kept, but for the dependents he seriously cultivated, his approval was very high. These all needed serious consideration and cultivation.
"Speaking of which..."
Sora said with a touch of emotion: "Everyone doesn't need divine sparks. For them, they all have their own paths. How should the divine sparks in my possession be arranged?"
Sora was also troubled by this point.
God of Sleep, God of Death, God of Dreams, God of the River Styx...
He possessed 3,003 divine sparks.
So many divine sparks.
If arranged properly, in just a few months, he could cultivate a batch of qualified lower gods.
But now?
There were no suitable candidates at all!
As for his dependents?
Don't joke around!
Sora's arrangements for his dependents were very clear. Their futures all had suitable paths - Specters, Demon Imperial Arms Users - these were all paths with very high upper limits. Gradual growth was sufficient.
If these divine sparks were truly absorbed, it would actually cause problems.
Their future upper limits would be lower instead.
Unlike the Ghost God divine spark that Nezuko absorbed, which was dependent on Hell. Don't look at how Hell was still weak - Hell's divine rank was there. It just needed gradual nurturing.
Simply put.
Nezuko's status was basically equivalent to a Yama in Hell.
Taishan Lord.
Yama King.
Yama.
These were Hell's three hierarchical divisions. If Sora was willing, with Hell as the core, devouring and absorbing two worlds, Hell could be directly supplemented. The powerful world force could elevate Nezuko to main god standards in a short time.
The main thing was.
There was no such necessity. It was still the same saying - Hell currently had no helmsman. Such benefits would be completely wasted.
Before Hell had a qualified helmsman, Hell was basically in a state of suspension.
Sora truly preferred quality over quantity. Even if there wouldn't be high benefits temporarily, Sora wouldn't do this. Embarrassing! That would simply be extremely embarrassing.
"Regarding the arrangement of divine sparks..."
Persephone thought briefly: "What do you think of those children from the Ghost Clan?"
Ghost Clan!
The race created by Nezuko, also Sora's first dependent clan. In terms of talent, there was naturally no need to elaborate.
From appearance, they were similar to the Ghost Clan of Mount Ooe in Hyakki Yagyou, but fundamentally, they were completely different.
These Ghost Clan used Blood Demon Arts - flashy, chaotic Blood Demon Arts.
It could be said.
They were more like Ghost Clan who used magic.
"Not quite suitable."
Sora shook his head: "These children's talents are still good, but overall, they are Hell's administrators. In the future! Whether it's Hell or the Underworld, generally Ghost Clan will be needed for management. They're not suitable for inheriting divine sparks as main combat forces."
This was probably the biggest difference between the Ghost Clan created by Nezuko and true Ghost Clan.
Ghost Clan: drinking, warlike, crazy.
The Ghost Clan of Elysium, though each had different personalities, took their duties very seriously.
This was also their inherent character.
They all took their responsibilities very seriously. No matter what duties or work, they were extremely conscientious.
"It seems."
"In the short term, suitable candidates cannot be found. We still need to wait for new worlds discovered in the next phase."
Persephone also shook her head. After brief consideration, this was indeed the case, so she gave up these thoughts.
Sora said at this time: "In any case, let's take it slowly. These all need time for gradual consideration and improvement. Quality over quantity."
"Even if there are temporarily no suitable candidates."
"Then."
"Better to leave them empty than to search randomly."
"Mm!"
Persephone also nodded, naturally agreeing with Sora's thinking.
The two continued chatting for a while.
Sora stood up, stretching his muscles: "Let's go, Persephone. I should also take a look. Although I won't manage anything this time, I should still go see."
"Hehehe~~~"
Persephone covered her mouth and laughed: "Indeed! No matter when, Sora, you are always so gentle."
Sora said nothing, just brought Persephone into the portal.
As for whether leaving would cause problems?
It was still the same saying!
Demeter was still here. Although that beautiful mature woman was sleeping very sweetly now, if real problems occurred, she would awaken immediately.
Besides.
Now all the gods' attention had been attracted by the released Prometheus.
The focus had been completely placed on Prometheus.
"..."
With the two's departure, only four women remained in the living room: Pandora, Sawamura Sayuri, Akasaka Akane, and Katou Hiromi.
The atmosphere became quiet for a moment. The four women looked at each other, seemingly all thinking about something.
"Alright."
Pandora stood up first. She pushed her gold-rimmed glasses and smiled: "We should also work. Whether it's the Underworld or the three subordinate dark universes, they're all very busy."
"Miss Pandora."
Sawamura Sayuri thought briefly, then said: "Regarding Hell, does it need management?"
"For now..."
Pandora thought briefly, originally planning to set Hell aside, but after consideration said: "Let's see about the future. For now, before there's a suitable administrator, Hell won't undergo cultivation and improvement."
"But before that, matters that Hell should handle still need to be handled. These are also our work."
"Akane, Hiromi, after you complete the work for Dark Universe 002 and 003."
"Go handle Hell's matters."
"Good!"
Akasaka Akane and Katou Hiromi naturally had no objections.
These were their jobs to begin with.
Then.
Pandora also considered: "The faith in Dark Universe 002 has been completely arranged. As for Universe 003's faith, Ker arranged it quickly, but it still needs time. The main work is stabilizing faith."
"Besides this..."
"There are Underworld matters!"
Thinking about Underworld matters, Pandora had the urge to die with blackened vision.
Short-staffed!
Short-staffed!
Really quite short-staffed!
The current Underworld, aside from being short-staffed, didn't want to say anything else. It was really too short-staffed.
No help for it.
Faith power was manageable. As faith was laid out, faith nations established, through time's baptism and one or two generations of population reproduction, just forty to fifty years time.
By that time.
Faith nations would be thoroughly stabilized, and faith power would be continuous.
Worth mentioning!
For gods, faith power could bring improvement when present, but wouldn't cause problems when absent.
The reason was simple.
Whether Sora or Persephone, they weren't faith gods. Faith power could bring improvement but wouldn't be controlled by faith power.
Becoming a god first then gaining faith versus becoming a god through faith.
These two had fundamental - no, no, purely essential huge differences. This was completely incomparable.
Besides faith power, obtaining world force required much more consideration.
First, assisting world progress and improvement to obtain world force.
Second!
Intervening in world operations.
For example.
The Underworld controlling life and death reincarnation would naturally obtain world force.
Now.
The life and death reincarnation of three dark universes was all handled by the Underworld. Good, no need to say more. Just thinking a bit, one could know how busy this was.
It could be said...
The entire Underworld was so busy their feet didn't touch the ground. This really wasn't a joke.
"Really gives me a headache!"
Pandora shook her head helplessly: "Sayuri, let's go. We still have much to do."
"Good."
Sawamura Sayuri smiled gently.
The four women also left successively. They had much work to do. Next, various tasks all needed handling.
Underworld.
Hell.
Dark universes.
Various jobs, various matters.
No time to relax here.
"Mmm~~~"
As the women left, Demeter lazily walked in from outside. She lay languidly on the sofa like an imperial concubine, a smile at the corner of her mouth, saying slowly: "Really now! Is everyone getting busy again?"
"Sister..."
"What will your choice be?"
Demeter whispered softly. There was only one goddess that Demeter would call sister.
Hestia!
How had Demeter obtained the Aegis? One could guess - there was definitely someone's help, and who this person was need not be said.
