I Am Hades, The supreme GOD of the Underworld!

Yes!

Europa is a tool.

This situation is somewhat similar to Apollo and Eris.

Are they God-Kings?

No!

Yet, they can be considered latent God-Kings; when a vacancy arises, they have the qualifications to fill that position. Europa's case is quite similar.

Since she can bring forth an entirely new continent, this alone grants her the qualifications.

In the grand scheme of the mythic world:

Europa inherently possesses the eligibility, and this eligibility will eventually become a reality. Such is the nature of this mythic world, and in such a setup, Europa will inevitably siphon part of the authority of the Earth Goddess and the Earth Lord—even if only a fraction, say a tenth, or even a twentieth.

But!

Even a partial divestment weakens the original holder.

This is indeed advantageous.

Hades noticed this and, upon realizing it, saw that Europa would be the perfect candidate to serve as the Earth Lord of the Underworld World Tree's domain.

If Hypnos and Thanatos have roughly a 60% compatibility, then Europa's compatibility would near a perfect 120%—perhaps even 150%, or potentially 200%.

This is the core.

Thus, Hades, too, has set his sights on Europa.

And the mythic world itself won't obstruct Hades' intentions; on the contrary, it will aid him.

The reason is simple.

Although Hades has engaged in a variety of tactics, it must be acknowledged that he has no intentions against the mythic world. No matter how powerful he becomes, he fulfills his duties.

And this!

Is the crucial point.

It's no joke.

For the mythic world, such a God-King is enough; so long as one fulfills their duties, nothing else matters. As for one's future? That's their own concern, not the mythic world's responsibility.

This is a fundamental truth.

Frankly!

The mythic world's core perspective is entirely indifferent to such matters.

Now!

If Hades can help Europa advance and swiftly divide authority, he may take her without resistance. It's of no consequence.

This is the core reason for Hades' arrival.

And now:

Everything is progressing as initially planned.

The entire continent of Europa, with the aid of the twin gods and Mephistopheles, is advancing at an astonishing pace.

In fact:

Europa is developing even faster than the surface world.

Moreover!

Europa hasn't birthed descendants directly; rather, with her arrival, new humans naturally emerged on the continent of Europa.

It's as though everything had already been prepared; as soon as Europa arrived, everything began to manifest.

This, too, is the arrangement of the mythic world.

Hades is quite pleased with this.

If not for this arrangement, he would have had to manage it himself—a troublesome task, to say the least.

For this reason:

Hades remains unconcerned, finding the situation trivial.

It's simply not a big deal; taking things slowly, handling them step by step. Future matters? They'll resolve naturally over time.

Hades holds this attitude: as long as the end goal is met, the process is irrelevant.

Furthermore!

With the full support of the three Underworld gods, whose abilities are exceptionally formidable, there is no need to elaborate further.

With all factors combined.

Is more explanation required?

Clearly not!

Grasping this core simplifies everything.

It's all too easy! The three Underworld gods, working at a remarkable speed, handle everything swiftly and impressively.

Now!

In just a hundred years,

the entire continent of Europa has made leaps across time, advancing rapidly.

And!

Europa has since been honored as the Queen of Europa.

Additionally,

the faith in the Lord of the Underworld now blankets the entire continent, with nearly every inhabitant a devoted follower of Hades. Every citizen is a loyal believer in the Underworld King.

Under such circumstances, the immense power of faith significantly shortens the time Hades requires to nurture his divine artifacts.

Of course,

these are secondary matters.

The most crucial aspect is:

Europa herself.

Europa is uniquely significant; her faith in Hades is the fundamental core.

…

City of Europa!

This is the heart of the continent.

Here,

the continent's paramount ruler resides—Europa, Queen of Europa.

And with the assistance of the three Underworld gods, Europa has brought the entire continent to a level of transformation unimaginable a mere century ago.

At such a rapid pace:

Everything has utterly changed.

"Huh~~~"

Europa let out a deep breath, having just completed her day's work. A hundred years have passed, yet she remains as beautiful as ever, seemingly unchanged.

Indeed!

Even her pregnancy remains untouched; a century has passed, and Europa's child has yet to be born.

But!

Europa remains unconcerned. Perhaps her child will play a significant role in the future. Stroking her belly gently, she stood and walked toward the Underworld Temple at the center of the city.

There,

Hades' statue is enshrined.

Europa entered the temple, knelt devoutly, and engaged in her daily prayer.

Yes!

Europa is a deeply devout follower; her devotion rivals that of the ancient Spartans, who, like Europa, strived toward the level of God-King.

They belong to the Underworld.
