It had only been a mere hundred years.
"..."
Rhea looked at the joyful Persephone and Hestia. These two no longer resembled the Queen of the Underworld or the Underworld's young mistress. They looked more like two happy young girls.
This made Rhea shake her head with a helpless but amused smile.
"However," Rhea thought to herself, "In the beginning, Hestia merely proposed the idea, and even I didn't expect that these two kids would actually succeed, truly creating a device capable of finding the perfect 108 Underworld Fighters."
Rhea was filled with amazement!
It was almost unimaginable!
To be honest, any god would be utterly shocked.
This was beyond anyone's expectations.
Yet, it had happened.
The Perfect Underworld Fighter Search Device.
The impact of this invention on the Underworld was enormous. Anyone with even a bit of understanding would realize how significant this was.
With just a bit of thought, it became crystal clear.
After all, for the entire Underworld, the prospect of having 108 perfect Underworld Fighters—if truly achieved—was undeniably monumental.
Hestia thought for a moment and added, "However, we still need to conduct some experiments to see how it works in practice. Otherwise, it's hard to say for sure."
"That's true," Persephone agreed wholeheartedly with this view.
The two goddesses of the Underworld once again dove into their research, preparing to verify the device's effectiveness.
If the tests revealed no issues...
Then there would be nothing more to worry about.
In Elysium, Hades silently observed everything before him, his gaze calm and composed.
Alongside him were Erebus and Nyx, the ancient god couple.
They were simply chatting.
"I really didn't expect this!" Erebus said with some astonishment. "Persephone and Hestia actually succeeded. With this device, as long as enough time passes, one perfect Underworld Fighter after another will emerge. By that time..."
Erebus trailed off, shaking his head.
Even as an ancient god, it was hard for him to imagine what the Underworld would look like when that day came.
It would be unparalleled!
Incomprehensible!
Erebus shook his head again, feeling overwhelmed, unsure of what more to say.
Because...
It was truly difficult to predict. If the Underworld could be elevated to such a level...
Then...
The Underworld's strength would reach an unimaginable degree.
At this moment, Nyx gently shook her head and asked, "Hades, a million years have passed. Moving forward, as the Second Holy War begins, is there anything we need to do?"
Nyx's voice was soft as she inquired.
The Perfect Underworld Fighter Search Device.
There was no doubt about this device.
That much was certain.
But precisely because of this, now that the device was finished, further discussion seemed pointless.
The key question was: even with the device completed, when would it begin to significantly boost the Underworld? That was something no one could predict.
This wasn't a joke.
It was genuinely hard to say.
After all, the perfect Underworld Fighters would eventually emerge, but where were they? No one knew.
In fact...
Not even the gods knew.
Even the Absolute Gods couldn't know for sure.
So...
It would take an indefinite amount of time to find them. In some sense, this still belonged to the realm of miracles. In the past, they had to seek out these miracles step by step, but now things were different.
Now, they could locate where the miracles lay.
But fundamentally...
It was still a miracle, wasn't it?
In essence, there was almost no difference at all.
Because of this, the whole thing was already a miracle. Continuing to discuss it wouldn't bring any additional clarity.
Instead, Nyx thought it would be better to talk about the events about to unfold. That was what truly mattered—the core issue at hand.
In Nyx's view, they should discuss whether they needed to get involved in the upcoming events.
Hades shook his head calmly and said, "No need. For the time being, the Underworld is stable. Besides, the Second Holy War is nothing more than a game. There's no need to take it seriously."
Hades showed little concern for the Second Holy War.
Or rather...
There was no reason to care.
For the Underworld, with its aid, securing a victory for Sanctuary was a given.
In fact...
If Sanctuary lost even with the Underworld's support?
Then...
The Underworld might as well give up entirely.
Because of this, the victory was all but assured.
Since it was a foregone conclusion, there was no need for excessive discussion or concern.
Put simply...
It was a matter of no significance.
Hades didn't care at all.
Meanwhile...
On the other side, the Underworld also wasn't overly concerned. The true focus now was the upcoming Heroic Age. That was the most important core issue for the Underworld.
If they couldn't handle the Heroic Age properly, then! The Underworld would suffer greatly, and that was no joke.
The only real challenge facing the Underworld was this Heroic Age.
And...
As Hades, Erebus, and Nyx casually chatted, they suddenly lifted their heads.
The three Underworld gods looked toward the location of the Mulanzhi Tree in the distance.
Had the device just finished and already started yielding results?!
