“Lorne, the Titans have begun to suppress us with all their might. Only you can help us. Just like you said, as long as you join us, you can decide the direction of the war and even end it quickly.”
Seeing that Lorne was still as stubborn as usual, Hera became anxious.
Lorne waved her concerns off. “Hera, you don’t have to elaborate on it. Take care!”
With that, Lorne left the place. No one knew where he went, only Hera was left feeling disappointed, while Athena was left embarrassed.
“Hera, I told you, Lorne will not join the war! We will have to rely on ourselves!”
Athena turned to comfort Hera.
Hera smiled bitterly and sighed. “It seems that we have to think of another way. Let’s go back to the sacred mountain first and tell Zeus about this news. I don’t believe that there are so many gods in this world that we can’t find another ancient god!”
With that said, Hera left the Alps with Athena. Hera’s attitude towards Lorne had also begun to change, from her initial enthusiasm to her current coldness.
“Still too young!”
Lorne looked at the backs of the two leaving. Are you kidding me? Trying to use a honey trap? Am I, Lorne, such a person?
Hmm? They may actually be right!
After that, he began to cultivate in seclusion and refine the divine sword at the same time.
He was able to throw shade at these fabled gods, and he was far more powerful than any of them.
After obtaining the divine sword, he began to refine it, but it was rather time-consuming. The stronger the divine weapon, the slower the refining speed. Lorne was in no hurry. On the contrary, he was somewhat happy.
There were a total of thirty-six divine runes in the divine sword.
It was the highest count yet seen among divine weapons.
Even Zeus’ thunder scepter which was also a divine artifact could not be compared to the divine sword. It only had twenty-seven divine runes.
Currently, Lorne had only activated eighteen of those divine runes. The rest could only be refined over time. When they did, he would grow all the more powerful.
It took time, but he finally learned that the gods had a hierarchy of their own. For example, at the top of it, you would find those who wielded divine weapons and divine generals. Most of others were demigods. They possessed divinity and stood higher than mortals, but they were cannon fodder, and Lorne could kill hundreds of them with a sneeze.
Then there were the ordinary deities, which were equivalent to the commoners of the gods. Then there were the lower gods, gods, and high gods, which were the core strength of the gods.
At the top were the main gods. For example, the twelve main Titans, the twelve main Olympians, and some powerful gods could fight on even ground, but there were also some who had broken through to the true god realm, such as Kronos, however, he had now fallen back to the main god level.
There were also current true gods at Lorne’s level. They came far and few between. If one were to go even higher, they would gain omnipotence. Even if the world was destroyed, they would not die.
However, a level did not represent one’s strength. A main God could always defeat a true God in some way.
…
After Hera returned to Mount Olympus, she spoke of the matter. Hades was finally silenced.
Hera then told them what she thought of on the way. “Since Lorne won’t participate, then forget it. As long as he doesn’t join the Titans, it’s fine. We can invite other ancient gods.”
The gods instantly understood what she was getting at.
Their eyes lit up. That’s right! Although there were very few ancient gods in this world, they could get hold of most of them. As long as they persuaded even one of them to side with them, it was fine!
“But what do we have to pay to get them to join us?”
Zeus sat in the main seat and fell into deep thought.
Hades rolled his eyes and thought of another idea.
“That’s simple! It’s nothing more than an enticement, such as offering some positions or a goddess!”
After Hades finished speaking, the gods glanced at Athena without even hesitating.
It made the latter frown, feeling that Hades did not mean well.
“I know that some Titans also really want to overthrow the court of Cronus. We can also start from here!”
Hades continued.
Zeus was surprised. This was a good idea. For example, he could lure the wives of the Titans over.
Thinking of this, his heart was burning. This would not only weaken the power of the Titans, but also increase his power.
He felt that he was slowly losing ground in the hearts of many, and he desperately wanted to scramble back up.
Thus, after discussing for a while, the gods dispersed. Zeus also disappeared at the first opportunity. Athena noticed that Hades even revealed a sinister smile, as if his plan had succeeded.
This made her a little uneasy. She felt that there was something wrong with Hades, but no one would believe it if she said it out loud. She could only suppress this doubt in her heart.
When he left, she subconsciously followed him.
Only after following him did she realize that Hades was not returning to his residence.
They all had their own territories near Mount Olympus. She saw Hades running toward the entrance of Tartarus.
Athena was even more confused now.
“Why would Hades go there? Why did he avoid everyone?”
Tartarus was actually a free land. It was as big as the surface world, and it was boundless. Many Gods had ventured deep within, killed monsters, and obtained treasures from it.
But quietly going there alone was somewhat suspicious.
…
After leaving the mountain, Hades felt that his plan was half completed, so he prepared to go to Tartarus once.
But he felt that someone was following him, which raised his guard, so he pretended not to notice and directly flew in. After all, Tartarus was massive, and masked with the thick, stifling aura of darkness, it was very difficult to follow an individual through it.
As expected, once Athena followed in, she lost track of Hades. She frowned and searched for a long time, but found nothing.
…
Hades hid in a miasma, so he naturally spotted Athena.
“Athena? I didn’t expect her to notice!”
Hades never expected her to realize, of all people. This was not good!
“So you wish to fall like a mortal! Don’t blame me for this!”
As Athena drew further from him, Hades’ eyes flashed with killing intent. Then, he vanished.
He took out a black stone that was filled with darkness. Evil runes were carved on it.
He poured his divine power into the stone. It rose into the air. The runes came to life, forming a floral pattern. It released a beautiful blue light and formed a space door.
Hades was used to it. He took a step into it and disappeared, and the hell flower also vanished.
A moment later, he appeared in a space filled with evil energy. The space was surrounded by miasma, and there was only a huge throne in the middle that remained suspended in the air, like a giant city in the sky.
“Typhon! I’m here!”
Hades shouted in a deep voice. Not long after, a terrifying existence appeared on the throne..
