I Am Hades, Lord of the Underworld!

Hypnos and Thanatos.

Aether and Hemera.

These four Underworld gods each had different tasks, some more significant than others, but they all agreed this was the best time to act.

Meanwhile, Hades left his temple and walked quietly on the earth. In truth, all three God-Kings had left their temples, each attending to their own tasks. Although they weren't directly involved in the divine war, they were always monitoring the situation.

"The final world chain..." Hades mused. The last world chain was crucial; if it could be obtained, it would allow the absorption of the five world chains' magical energy, leading to a transformation.

However, Hades shook his head. The location of the final world chain was currently inaccessible, even amidst the chaos of the Titan war. The best chance to obtain it would still be in the future.

As Hades walked, he suddenly stopped. The surroundings had changed without him noticing. A perfect array of divine power and laws had formed a barrier, sealing off the area completely.

This happened so quickly that even Hades seemed taken aback—or perhaps he had noticed but chose not to react.

In the silence, three goddesses appeared: Theia, Phoebe, and Themis.

The three goddesses stood before Hades, silent, seemingly unsure of what to say.

Each of them bore divine weapons: Theia with her bow, Phoebe with her sword, and Themis with her spear. These weapons, glowing brightly, had become perfect instruments of battle, enhancing the goddesses' power.

Theia spoke softly, "Hades, you must pay for your actions."

Hades looked at the three goddesses calmly, "Because of you, this uncertain war will completely collapse. Any slim chance your father had may now be gone."

Rhea, Theia, Phoebe, Themis.

These four Titan goddesses, if they survived, would prevent the complete weakening of the Titan Twelve. Even with Mnemosyne's existence, the Titan faction would not be fully diminished.

The presence of these goddesses suggested that their father, Kronos, might still have a chance, given enough time. However, with their appearance, everything had changed. The deaths of these goddesses, along with Mnemosyne's situation, meant that Zeus would likely sever all connections, ensuring that their mother, Rhea, would also die. The once turbulent Titan war was now nearing its end.

Theia spoke coldly, "Hades, I don't deny your strength. But we've come prepared. Today, your fate is sealed; you will not leave here."

Her eyes were sharp and her tone cold, showing her determination to defeat Hades.

From beginning to end, Hades remained calm. The notion of defeating or killing him was laughable. In his eyes, these three goddesses were no threat; he could easily kill them if he wished.

Phoebe suddenly spoke, "We know that to you, the Titan gods are insignificant. You are a God-King, and with the power of the Dark Emblem, you can momentarily ascend to the level of an Ancient God."

Hades did not deny this; it was a fact. But he was curious about the goddesses' confidence in standing against him.

Did they truly believe they could defeat him?

This seemed strange to Hades. Where did their courage come from?

Or perhaps Hades found their determination intriguing, wondering what they planned.

Themis, however, continued seriously, "Hades, we are prepared. Your strength will mean nothing here."

Theia then intervened, "Themis, that's enough."

Clearly, Theia wanted to stop Themis from revealing too much. Hades realized that the three goddesses were not the main threat; there was someone behind them.

Was it their invincible father, Kronos? That seemed unlikely.

Hades understood something and said, "I see. With that one's help, your plan makes sense. But I'm curious how you plan to defeat me."

Hades chose not to stop the goddesses' actions. It was too late to leave once he entered this special formation, and now he could only respond and see what they had in store.

Moreover, this Titan war was an inevitable development for the entire mythological world. Even the one behind the goddesses couldn't intervene openly. Helping the goddesses once was already pushing the limits; there would be no further assistance. The mythological world would not allow such direct interference.
