"Speaking of which..."
Sora suddenly thought of something and asked with slight curiosity: "Persephone, what has Prometheus been doing recently?"
Regarding Prometheus's release.
Besides the trade, Sora's initial consideration was more about making the game more chaotic and interesting.
Frankly speaking.
Pure troublemaker.
This!
Recently, the things that should be busy with were basically finished. When his divine power recovered, he'd also search for other worlds on the Dimensional Galaxy Map.
Only then did he remember - how was that guy Prometheus doing now?
"Prometheus..."
Persephone fell briefly silent and said with emotion: "Prometheus has stirred up quite a commotion recently."
"Heaven Realm."
"Sea Realm."
"Underworld."
"Earth."
"After Prometheus recovered his divine power, he was already extremely strong, plus his wisdom as the God of Wisdom. In a short time, he's stirred up many incidents and stolen many divine objects."
"And the effects of these divine objects - no one's certain what they are."
Persephone quietly recounted what Prometheus had been doing recently.
"Huh?"
Sora was stunned and asked in shock: "Earth, Underworld, Sea Realm I can understand - but what about Heaven Realm? Prometheus can actually cause trouble in Heaven Realm?"
Earth needn't be mentioned - if Athena didn't cause trouble, Prometheus naturally wouldn't have any issues.
Moreover.
The relationship between Prometheus and Athena could be called cooperative.
As for the Underworld.
Although.
The Underworld was responsible for the operation of life and death reincarnation, Tartarus, this Primordial God, was in slumber. As long as one didn't touch the abyss depths of the Underworld where the sealed Twelve Titan Gods were, almost no one would notice Prometheus.
The Sea Realm needn't be mentioned - Poseidon's divine body was destroyed, and his soul was in perpetual slumber.
However...
Heaven Realm was different!
Heaven Realm could be said to have strong forces and was well-defended, plus with Apollo presiding over it. For Prometheus to be able to cause trouble in Heaven Realm and leave safely afterward.
"Sora."
"Heaven Realm and Olympus are actually two branches."
"Heaven Realm is vast and rich in resources, with abundant divine objects."
"However."
"Heaven Realm is controlled by Olympus, and Olympus is like the Mount Othrys once controlled by the Titan pantheon."
"Both belong to special small worlds."
"Hmm~~~"
Persephone thought briefly: "Mount Olympus, Mount Othrys, Atlantis, the Sanctuary, the Underworld - they all belong to this type of situation."
"I see!"
Sora nodded in understanding. If that was the case, it made sense.
"However..."
Sora still asked strangely: "Prometheus, stirring up all kinds of trouble so openly - what exactly is he thinking? Or rather, what exactly does Prometheus want to do?"
"Who knows the specific situation."
Demeter lazily entered the study at this time. After yesterday's fierce battle, she had obviously just woken up.
Persephone said thoughtfully: "There's one possibility. For Prometheus, relying solely on his personal power fundamentally cannot change the current situation. Only three methods could change the situation."
Sora asked: "Which three methods?"
"First, revive Poseidon's divine body and let Poseidon recover again to participate in this game."
"Second, release the Twelve Titan Gods."
"Third, awaken all the slumbering Primordial Gods."
Persephone slowly stated the three methods.
"Huh?!"
Sora raised an eyebrow in shock: "That guy Prometheus is sick, right?"
"Poseidon, the Twelve Titan Gods, Primordial Gods."
"Does Prometheus think he can control them?"
Sora was indifferent about it - at worst, he'd just close Hades Castle directly and develop slowly. When he was ready, he'd return.
But you, Prometheus, aren't like this!
What are you, Prometheus, thinking?
"Speaking of which..."
Sora seemed to think of something and turned to ask: "Demeter, is Metis dead?"
Regarding such secrets, the possibility of Persephone knowing wasn't great. The greatest possibility was that Demeter would know.
"Can't be certain."
Demeter thought briefly and shook her head: "Theoretically, Metis is still alive. If Metis weren't alive and connected to Athena, the current Athena wouldn't obediently serve as Olympus's watchdog."
"After all."
"In the mythological age, Athena was a violent goddess of war, not the current gentle goddess of wisdom."
Sora nodded: "That's not strange. So that simp Prometheus probably wants to rescue Metis."
"In the case of rescuing Metis..."
"The best method would be stepping into God King rank."
"Prometheus has already proven he fundamentally cannot succeed. So then! He's placing his hopes on Athena."
"Hmm~~~"
Sora rubbed his temples. This guy really had quite a lot of ideas.
Demeter lazily leaned on Sora's shoulder: "For Prometheus, only chaos can bring better benefits, no matter which kind."
"As long as everything becomes thoroughly chaotic, he can help Athena achieve God King rank through scheming."
"As long as Athena becomes God King."
"Then!"
"Athena will become the chess player. At that time, Metis will be rescued, and Athena will also become a chess player."
"Indeed a good idea."
Sora agreed. The current situation of bilateral opposition brought no benefits to Prometheus.
Neither side could do anything to the other - they'd just keep opposing each other.
How long would this situation last?
Who knows!
A thousand years?
Ten thousand years?
Even longer was possible. In other words, Prometheus needed to make this situation more violently chaotic - the more chaotic the better. This method was the best approach.
"Overall, Prometheus just wants everything to become chaotic."
"However."
"This doesn't matter anyway."
"At minimum."
"For us, it doesn't matter - we'll just watch the excitement."
Sora spread his hands, feeling completely indifferent. Whatever Prometheus wanted to do, he'd just watch the show.
"However..."
Just as Sora finished speaking, he said interestingly: "It looks like the other party has come knocking. Really interesting. Let's go take a look."
"Good."
Persephone smiled, obviously also sensing something.
...
Hades Castle!
Prometheus arrived here. He quietly raised his head, looking at Hades Castle before him. After a brief pause, he stepped into Hades Castle without hesitation.
Instantly.
Prometheus's divine power was reduced by eighty percent.
Hades Barrier!
For any existence, it would weaken eighty percent of their power. According to Persephone's divine power level, unless one reached God King rank.
No matter what god or fighter, entering would reduce them by eighty percent.
Prometheus didn't mind and walked step by step, quietly ascending the spiral mountain-like stairs toward Hades Castle.
Along the way.
Prometheus encountered no obstacles.
Soon.
Prometheus ascended Hades Castle. He knew that Persephone, or rather! The person behind Persephone, was willing to see him. Otherwise, not to mention whether he'd die, he definitely wouldn't be able to reach Hades Castle.
Theoretically.
He wouldn't die. After all, the other party had released him - the trade was secondary. They hoped he'd make this game more chaotic and fun.
"Truly absolute confidence!"
Prometheus whispered softly: "Just to make the game more fun, releasing uncertain factors."
"..."
Prometheus stopped. Before him was a woman's figure.
Albedo's expression was calm, elegant and proper, yet without any warmth: "Mr. Prometheus, this way please."
"..."
Prometheus said nothing and simply followed Albedo's pace.
"A succubus?"
Prometheus sensed Albedo's aura - very weak, hadn't even comprehended Cosmo. Was this humiliating him?
No.
From the other party's bearing, she wasn't someone randomly found.
Prometheus found it increasingly strange. What kind of changes had occurred in the Underworld?
Unfortunately!
This was something no one could know. No one could enter the Underworld - no existence had the qualifications to enter the Underworld.
Inside Hades Castle.
Following Albedo's steps, Prometheus entered and saw Persephone sitting elegantly on the divine throne, proper yet filled with endless majesty.
"Lord of the Underworld!"
"The person has been brought!"
Albedo bowed.
Persephone smiled: "Albedo, thank you for your hard work. Rise."
"Yes!"
Albedo stood up and positioned herself beside Persephone.
"Lord of the Underworld!"
Prometheus also bowed. He knew clearly what he should do when facing a higher existence.
Regardless of the other party's identity, proper etiquette was essential.
Otherwise.
Big problems could arise.
In a sense.
Gods were all about appearances!
Persephone looked at Prometheus: "Prometheus, is there something you need?"
"Lord of the Underworld!"
Prometheus opened his mouth, seeming to want to say something.
But!
Ultimately.
Prometheus still said nothing.
His instincts reminded him that if he spoke those words, he would definitely die. This God King would show no hesitation and would directly kill him.
"Huff~~~"
Prometheus gently exhaled turbid air and said calmly: "Lord of the Underworld, my visit is to hope for some cooperation with the Underworld."
"Cooperation?"
Persephone smiled: "What can you provide to the Underworld?"
What was the purpose of cooperation?
Persephone didn't seem to care, being more concerned with what cooperation could bring.
Honestly speaking.
Persephone's will of the gods was improving extremely rapidly under the dual washing of world force and faith power.
Roughly speaking!
If calculated by worlds.
After conquering about 10 worlds, Persephone could step into the Primordial God level.
And!
How long would ten worlds take?
Calculating at once every three months, it would only take two and a half years.
In two and a half years, Persephone could step into the Primordial God level.
For gods' concept of time.
Often.
Before schemes even began, everything would already conclude and end.
Not to mention!
Persephone also possessed two divine artifacts - the Helmet of Invisibility and the Hades Sword.
Persephone had completely fused the world divine artifact she was born with together with the Helmet of Invisibility and Hades Sword, allowing both artifacts to improve as well. Unexpectedly, in the future, as Persephone stepped into Primordial God rank, they could also synchronously evolve into Great Treasures.
Therefore.
In Persephone's view, there was nothing to fear.
It was still the same saying - at worst, I'll close the door and not play with you. Wait ten or eight years for me, and when I return, let's see if I can kill you all?
"Benefits..."
Prometheus thought secretly: "It seems Persephone has absolute confidence. Where exactly does this confidence come from? Doesn't she care at all about my spreading word of awakening the slumbering Primordial Gods?"
"It seems!"
"The Underworld's waters run deeper than I thought."
Prometheus thought these things secretly, but his expression showed no change. Instead, he continued: "The Fire of Humanity records all civilizations on humanity's developmental path."
"It can be said."
"The more magnificent humanity develops, the more vigorously the Fire of Humanity burns."
"However."
"This is not the true Fire of Humanity. The Fire of Humanity should guide humanity's progress."
"That is the flame called the Fire of Civilization."
"I can make the Fire of Humanity transform into the Fire of Civilization."
Prometheus stated what he could provide.
"Fire of Civilization..."
Sora thought contemplatively.
Undeniably.
The system compendium Prometheus provided had indeed brought great benefits to the Dark World Tree. If the Dark World Tree slowly deduced and developed such things, that would be no problem.
But...
Starting from level 0 versus starting directly from level 100 were two different concepts. The time that could be saved was very important.
Moreover.
For the current Sora, time was extremely important, and obtaining the Fire of Civilization could further compress time.
"Not enough."
Persephone said indifferently: "Prometheus, with your wisdom you can guess much, but for me it doesn't have much meaning. Those things, just by spending some time, can still be easily handled."
Prometheus continued: "The Pegasus of the Sanctuary, as the reincarnation of the horse god Pegasus, possesses God-Slaying Power - this is the power to slay gods. Below God King rank, any existence will suffer severe damage or certain death."
"And!"
"If the holder of God-Slaying Power is also a God King, then equal God Kings would have almost no qualification to face them and would certainly be defeated."
"So?"
Persephone smiled and quietly looked at Prometheus, as if waiting for him to reveal what his next bargaining chip was.
"..."
Prometheus looked at Persephone. This Queen of the Underworld was not easy to deal with.
Or rather.
The other party had sufficient confidence. Everything he said, in their view, was just icing on the cake - nothing was truly sending charcoal in snowy weather, so it fundamentally couldn't draw their attention.
For Prometheus, this was also very troublesome. The other party's confidence was too strong!
