I Am Hades, The supreme GOD of the Underworld!

Underworld of the Earth.

At this moment, three radiant lights emanated from Europa, shining brightly as they gradually descended to the ground.

Then!

As soon as these lights touched the earth—

A strange laugh echoed, "Kekeke~~~"

Three Demon Stars descended from the astral plane of the Underworld, merging seamlessly into the bodies of the three children.

"As expected!"

Europa, clad in a pure white dress and holding a golden scepter, murmured softly, "As expected, these three children were extraordinary from the moment of their birth. Three perfect Underworld Warriors—and they're truly born of the Underworld!"

She couldn't suppress a gentle, proud smile.

How wonderful! As the devoted follower of her Majesty, Europa's deepest wish was that her children would be exceptional enough to genuinely support him.

And indeed!

Watching her three children undergoing transformation by the Demon Stars, Europa felt a profound sense of pride.

Just then, a divine aura appeared, and a figure cloaked in a pitch-black robe gradually emerged.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Europa quickly bowed in respect. The newcomer was none other than Hades.

Hades cast a calm gaze over Europa, his neutral expression conveying everything he wished to say.

Europa rose and stood quietly to the side, saying nothing more, as everything was already self-evident.

Hades watched in silence as the three children underwent their transformation, seemingly lost in thought.

As time passed, the transformation process was swift.

Moments later, three young figures emerged, each adorned in dark purple Underworld armor.

"Heavenly Hero Star: Golden-Winged Roc · Garuda: Aiakos!"

"Heavenly Noble Star: Gryphon · Griffin: Minos!"

"Heavenly Fierce Star: Two-Legged Wyvern · Pterosaur: Rhadamanthys!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The three figures respectfully knelt on one knee, their every movement radiating boundless reverence.

The Heavenly Hero Star.

The Heavenly Noble Star.

The Heavenly Fierce Star.

Among the Underworld Warriors, they were extraordinarily unique, not only as three of the finest warriors but as three perfect ones. Their demeanor was solemn and full of reverence.

Hades nodded in silent approval.

The three warriors stood, and Hades addressed them with calm authority, "Aiakos, Minos, Rhadamanthys, you three brothers will serve as the wardens of the Eight Hells of the Underworld. However, you are still too weak. In the time to come, you must strive to improve. When the wars on the surface come to an end and peace is restored, I expect that none of you will disappoint me."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The three brothers exchanged glances, their eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Turning away, Hades vanished with a sweep of divine power. The three brothers looked at one another, then respectfully knelt on one knee before Europa.

As always, in the Underworld, perfect Underworld Warriors and Underworld Gods hold equal status. Neither is inherently superior or subordinate to the other.

This equality is crucial!

And in this context, perfect Underworld Warriors do not need to kneel before any Underworld God. A slight bow of respect suffices.

However—

"Mother!"

In front of Europa, the three brothers exuded boundless respect. As their mother, Europa naturally deserved such reverence.

"Good children."

Europa's smile was gentle and full of pride as she looked at her three children.

Look!

Look at them!

These are my children—three perfect Underworld Warriors. What a concept! No words are needed to explain it further.

Although Europa herself was the honored ruler of the Underworld's earth, her pride in her three children far surpassed any title.

A mother's pride?

Well—

It wasn't quite that. Rather, Europa was simply proud of her children, as her love transcended the cold and indifferent realm they inhabited, radiating a warmth of kinship and friendship. 

What a beautiful contradiction.

And yet, this contradiction, in some ways, was a blessing.

Europa shook her head, settling her emotions, and spoke warmly, "Aiakos, Minos, Rhadamanthys, your birthright is indeed strong, but you must work even harder. You are not yet capable of fulfilling His Majesty's expectations. Remember that, won't you?"

"Yes, Mother, we will remember!" 

The three brothers nodded earnestly. They understood their responsibilities well and knew exactly what was required of them.

For now!

They were indeed too weak; in the Underworld, they were far from adequate.

Although the three of them were born to manage the Eight Hells, if their strength was not enough to command respect, it would be a disgrace.

With such low power, would they be worthy of managing the Eight Hells?

In short, the three brothers were well aware of the weight of their responsibility.

"Good!"

Europa was pleased by their determination, her smile gentle and warm. How wonderful that her children were so diligent; that was the best outcome.

As for her children's future, what would it hold?

Wasn't that a foregone conclusion?

Truly—

There was no doubt. Any one of her three children was outstanding in their own right, and as long as they continued to grow, they would succeed. There was no need to question whether they would mature into formidable beings.

This...

Was there really any room for doubt?

None at all! Europa had complete confidence in her children.

Likewise—

Aiakos, Minos, and Rhadamanthys.

The three brothers were equally confident.

Born under such extraordinary circumstances, how could they fail to reach their potential? That would be far too shameful.

In short!

Though the three children of Europa were still very young and fragile, they were destined to grow into pivotal figures of the Underworld.

After all!

As natural-born wardens of the Eight Hells, their innate talent and potential were a given.
