Chapter 303: Hestia Finishes the Final Preparations – The Sublimation of Spirits and Destruction!

The Underworld was preparing.

The Ocean Realm was preparing.

And!

Both sides knew that the other was preparing as well. However, no one knew exactly what the other was up to, nor did either side intend to interfere with the other's plans.

This was a special kind of tacit understanding.

After all!

Now that the Heavenly Realm had been eliminated, both sides were making their own preparations. Since that was the case, there was no need for further discussion.

The first place in the Holy War would go to the Underworld.

The second place would go to the Ocean Realm.

Both sides had already calculated and accepted this outcome. They also respected each other's actions and had no intention of disrupting them.

Otherwise!

It would lead to full-scale war. Maintaining this mutual understanding was crucial, as breaking it would only lead to massive problems, and nobody wanted that.

Hestia quietly walked down the road, smiling with a hint of amusement in her eyes as she made her final arrangements.

"Ahh~~~"

After a long while, Hestia exhaled deeply, a note of exhaustion in her voice. "It wasn't easy! Finally, most of it is done. Such a hassle!"

"Hestia, please be careful..." Kere said softly, full of concern.

Kere was genuinely worried, despite the tacit understanding that had been reached.

During the Holy War, the Heavenly Realm would never interfere with the affairs of the Mortal Realm. Doing so would be a violation of the rules.

In this era, when the world of myth was ruled by the Three Kings, once rules were set, they had to be followed, no matter how troublesome they were.

Because!

If even the established rules weren't followed, would that mean the peace and order they had maintained would no longer be necessary? If that were the case, they might as well go straight into all-out war.

Why worry about the consequences? Just fight.

It was for this reason that both the Underworld and the Ocean Realm understood that if the Ocean Realm discovered what Hestia was up to, they would undoubtedly try to stop her.

This was no joke. If the Underworld's plan succeeded, it would mean the birth of not one, but three God-Kings.

If that happened!

Then!

Under Hades' rule, there would be four God-Kings. How terrifying would that be? In fact, much of what Hestia was using now had originally been prepared by Kronos for his Titan subordinates. No one had ever expected that the era of the Titans would end, and that Rhea would reveal these preparations to Hestia, allowing her to use them for the Underworld.

If everything succeeded, just how powerful and terrifying would the Underworld become?

The answer was clear.

Because of this!

Kere was deeply worried and nervous. They couldn't afford any mistakes. If something went wrong, it would be a huge problem, and everything could fall apart.

"Hahaha~~~" Hestia giggled, "Relax! Relax, Kere. There's no need to be so tense. It's no big deal! Relax, everything will be fine."

"Sigh..." 

Kere sighed helplessly, looking at Hestia, who seemed so carefree. There was nothing more to say.

What could she do? Just follow along obediently. There was no other option. This situation was truly unavoidable.

Kere followed Hestia diligently. Her role wasn't to protect Hestia; the difference in their power levels was vast.

Her real task was to assist Hestia and ensure that destiny unfolded without any issues. Although it was unlikely that any problems would arise, if they did, it would be a major disaster.

That's why!

Kere was accompanying her.

The two gods moved neither quickly nor slowly. Ten years passed, then twenty, then thirty...

As time trickled by, the Holy War reached a fever pitch. The Underworld had completely suppressed the Ocean Realm, and it seemed as though they would soon drive the sea gods back into their realm.

When that happened...

The Holy War would be over. But! Wasn't it obvious that this was all just a show?

Even though!

If they truly fought for real, there would be no issue, but this performance—wasn't it a bit over the top? Were they taking it too far?

But!

Even though everyone wanted to complain, they obediently watched the spectacle. After all, since they were putting on a show, the least they could do was play along and applaud at the end.

It was better to just treat it like theater. After all, even though it was clearly a show, they did put some effort into the performance.

So...

It was best to leave it at that. There wasn't much else to say. Who would dare interfere?

And...

As time passed, Hestia finally finished her preparations.

"Phew~~~"

Hestia exhaled deeply, whispering, "It's done! The paths of Spirits and Destruction are both ready. Now, all we have to do is wait for the Spartan War and the destruction of the world to unfold."

Hestia wiped the sweat from her brow.

For a Titan Chief God like Hestia to break a sweat, it was clear that what seemed like a simple task was anything but easy.

In theory!

It should have been enough to simply make the preparations. However! This was a method that could allow a Titan Chief God to ascend to the level of a God-King. Was it really that simple? Far from it!

Hestia couldn't afford to be careless with any of these arrangements. Even the slightest misstep could lead to failure.

Moreover!

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they failed, it would be an irreversible disaster.

Hestia didn't dare to be careless. Every step required her full concentration, and the mental strain was immense. Naturally, after so much tension, exhaustion had set in.
