I Am Hades, Lord of the Underworld!

The effects of the Four Divine Books, for Hades, couldn't be considered top-tier divine artifacts. However, holding onto them himself was undoubtedly better than letting someone else have them. Even if they were useless to him, he could always pass them on to his subordinates, whether to grant them to subordinate gods or even to warriors.

As long as they were in his possession, it weakened his enemies, making it a simple equation.

Hades put away the Book of Knowledge and then departed. The divine war on the surface world was gradually drawing to a close.

"Next..." Hades halted, gazing into the distance and murmuring, "Only one final step remains."

As Hades' voice faded, he too disappeared without a trace.

Surface World!

At this moment!

It was a complete massacre. The explosion of the Earth Temple had taken away many powerful Titans.

If, in the initial stages of the divine war, the Titans had the advantage in terms of elite forces and numbers, the situation had now completely reversed.

The battle had utterly collapsed. When the power of faith was detonated, countless Titans were killed by that terrifying divine power.

The Earth Temple.

Originally the last line of defense, it had turned into a massive coffin for everyone.

Thus, at this moment, the divine war on the surface world had completely fallen into a one-sided slaughter.

"It's over!" Hypnos exhaled deeply, feeling extremely exhausted. Shaking his head slightly, he murmured, "With the Earth Temple detonated, over eighty percent of the Titans have fallen. From now on, everything will be much simpler."

Hypnos knew.

From now on!

All they had to do was quietly advance, and with time, the outcome was inevitable.

"However..."

At this moment, Aether and Hemera, the sibling gods, walked over, their faces showing signs of exhaustion.

Hypnos turned to look at the two gods, asking, "Aether, Hemera, have you finished your tasks?"

"Yes," Aether nodded calmly. "Hypnos, the matters in the star realm have been resolved. Now, we just need to wait for the end of the Titan War, and there will be no further issues."

"However," Hemera remarked with a touch of sentiment, "such actions are incredibly reckless. Are we sure there won't be any problems?"

"There won't be."

"..."

"Lord Hades!"

The three gods, hearing the familiar cold voice, quickly turned and knelt on one knee, their eyes filled with respect.

Hades said quietly, "Although such actions will impact the Mythical World, it will naturally heal itself. There won't be any problems."

"Yes!"

The three gods bowed their heads respectfully, refraining from asking more.

Honestly!

If such actions were taken in peaceful times, or not during the current chaos, no god would dare to do such things. Not even the Ancient Gods.

Such actions were extremely bold, essentially making enemies of the entire Mythical World. Any slight mistake could lead to massive problems.

But the fact was!

Aether and Hemera's actions were very smooth. Despite their exhaustion and weakness, once the Titan War ended, their mission would undoubtedly succeed.

As for the aftermath?

No big deal!

As Lord Hades had said, the Mythical World would naturally heal, filling any gaps, and all the Ancient Gods would do the same.

This issue would not affect the entire Mythical World.

As for whether Hades' actions were selfish? Sorry! As always, for gods, there's no concept of good deeds. Expecting gods to perform good deeds is simply impossible!

Hades didn't see any problem with his actions. Self-preservation is paramount, and for gods, it's the same.

"Hypnos," Hades shifted the topic, asking, "How is the divine war on the surface?"

"Lord Hades!"

Hypnos replied respectfully, "With the destruction of the Earth Temple, over eighty percent of the Titans have fallen. The remaining Titans are retreating while fighting, but it's meaningless now. Clearing them out and taking over the surface world is just a matter of time."

"Good."

Hades nodded indifferently and said calmly, "Hypnos, continue handling everything."

"Understood!"

Hades left, and Aether and Hemera also departed. The sibling gods were already exhausted from their difficult task, and the subsequent matters did not require their involvement.

For Hypnos, he still needed to play the role of commander on the battlefield.

Hypnos, Nereus, and Prometheus.

These three gods, sent by the God-King, also served as commanders. Until the divine war ended, none of them would retreat unless they died in battle.

Otherwise!

The shame wouldn't just be theirs but also that of the one they served.

They shared glory and disgrace with their master.

Naturally!

Hypnos had considered whether he could kill Prometheus during this Titan War. However, Prometheus's situation was quite special. He knew well that both Hypnos and Nereus wanted to kill him, so he worked diligently but never risked his life. On critical matters, Hypnos and Nereus couldn't act against him.

Therefore.

On such a vast battlefield, Prometheus never gave the two gods a chance.

However!

It didn't matter. Success or not, it didn't affect the control over the surface world or the revelry of the new gods.
