Unless something unexpected happens, everything originates from that Earth Goddess. Who else could accomplish such a thing? Obviously, it's something predestined. Even other Ancient Gods are incapable of this.
In the Greek Pantheon, within the mythological world, aside from that Earth Goddess, no other god is essentially significant. No matter how hard they try, in essence, none of them can compare to her.
Thanatos, even with his hot temper and aggressive nature, wasn't a fool. He would never delve deeper into this matter in such a situation—that would be a truly idiotic move. If he did, it would be a completely senseless act of stupidity.
Hypnos thought for a moment and shook his head. "Although we can't be sure for now, it's impossible to explore this further or investigate it in depth."
Hypnos felt helpless. He wanted to dive deeper into this mystery, but it was simply not allowed.
In fact, it's not just Hypnos—even their Lord, even the Ancient Gods—who would dare to explore the Earth Goddess?
While it's true, she seems like a recluse, staying indoors all the time, rarely showing herself. But if you dare step in uninvited...
Heh heh heh...
You might end up facing that supreme being. Even if she might be injured, that's merely speculation. No one knows what truly happened to the Earth Goddess, what she experienced, or what her current condition is. In other words, this is something that cannot be confirmed.
Since nothing is certain, no matter what is said or done, no matter what you wish to attempt, it's impossible to achieve anything in essence.
Hades' collection of the world chains is only missing one—the chain representing the Earth. And this chain, Hades has never been able to obtain. Why?
The reason is quite obvious. The final world chain is located near the Earth Goddess. If things aren't handled properly, you'll never get this last chain. It's a certainty, unchangeable and inevitable.
Hades is fully aware of this. He knows he has a chance. The crucial question is whether he can seize it. This fleeting opportunity, if captured, will allow him to obtain the final world chain and everything he desires.
But, in the end, it's just a theory. Whether he'll succeed or not, who knows?
In short, this is the situation. Neither Hypnos nor Thanatos could explore or research this further. Under ordinary circumstances, the Twin Gods wouldn't even care. But now that their Lord, the God-King, is essentially hands-off, leaving everything for them to manage, if they fail to figure things out, it would be better for them to just die.
The Twin Gods exchanged glances, their expressions filled with helplessness. After some thought, Hypnos said, "But it's not surprising. Regardless of how those giant-like demi-humans came into existence, in this era, the gods will naturally make their moves and engage in games."
Hypnos' expression grew serious. "In the first round of the game, we in the Underworld gained the upper hand. However, this advantage is just temporary. The game is far from over—in fact, it has only just begun."
Hypnos knew very well what was coming and what the outcome might be.
These events...
In essence, they were all laid out before him. Unlike the Golden Age, which was a time of all-out battles among the gods—a real era of bloodshed—this Silver Age, the Heroic Age, was fundamentally different. It was an era of strategy and calculation.
In this era, physical confrontations were becoming rare, if not non-existent.
From the God-King upward, the Ancient Gods and so on knew that it was almost impossible to act directly in this era. Everyone was engaged in scheming, using strategies to achieve their plans.
This wasn't surprising. And with the emergence of this special race, it seemed to confirm that the Earth Goddess had made her move in this era as well.
"In essence..." Thanatos' gaze sharpened. "This is an extremely dangerous sign. What does her move signify? And why act in this era? What's the reason behind all of this?"
Thanatos pondered these questions. They needed careful thought, not something to be taken lightly.
That figure!
She was undoubtedly the strongest god, the most powerful entity in the mythological world. Even if she didn't act personally, her strategies and subtle actions—what were they really for? This wasn't something that could be understood through simple reasoning or speculation.
Hypnos shook his head again. "It's impossible to know for sure. Everything is too chaotic!"
"Sigh!"
Hypnos let out a deep sigh of frustration and helplessness. The other party was simply too powerful—far beyond their level, beyond anything they could hope to touch or even comprehend.
If this continues...
Just thinking about it felt like an unattainable dream. That's what left Hypnos so frustrated. He knew what the other side was trying to do, but he couldn't dig deeper. The worst part was, no one really knew what the Earth Goddess intended. And that was the strangest thing of all. She was the Creator God, after all! Who could say what her plans truly were?
