I Am Hades, The supreme GOD of the Underworld!

Aiakos.

Minos.

Rhadamanthys.

The three brothers returned to their respective Demon Stars, preparing to enter rigorous training.

After all, they were fully aware of the heavy responsibility they bore, and with such weight upon them, they had to strengthen themselves.

Otherwise!

If they lacked the necessary strength, they wouldn't just be disgracing themselves, but their mother, and above all, their lord.

As guardians of the Underworld's Eight Hells and as three flawless Underworld Warriors, it would be utterly disgraceful if they were weak.

It would be humiliation beyond words.

It wasn't difficult to imagine what would happen if word got out.

For this reason, the three brothers had no choice but to train intensely, with absolute dedication and seriousness.

Otherwise, their identities wouldn't be justified, and that would indeed be troublesome.

"Hehehe…"

Watching her eager children depart, Europa smiled warmly and murmured, "Aiakos, Minos, Rhadamanthys, as your mother, I trust that each of you will excel."

"Well then!"

"Now it's up to you three to strive even harder!"

Europa gently shook her head, recognizing she needed some rest herself. The birth of these three children had drained her considerably, a far greater burden than typical for other deities.

Europa's children contained a tremendous amount of divine power and essence.

While this didn't affect her own essence significantly, she still needed time to rest and recover.

In the Elysian Fields:

"Hmm…"

Persephone sensed the changes in the Underworld and considered, "My lord, I can feel that the Underworld seems more stable. Is this due to the birth of those three children?"

"Indeed."

Seated on his throne, Hades replied quietly, "The birth of those three represents the guardians of the Eight Hells of the Underworld, similar to how Pandora commands the 108 Underworld Warriors. Each birth brings tremendous stability to the Underworld."

Hades' calm voice underscored the importance of this matter.

In truth!

Hades, the Demon Stars, and the Underworld form a unified whole. Every major figure born—be it Pandora or the three giants of the Underworld—brings immense strength and stability to the realm. This is a certainty.

"…"

Eris, too, was quietly observing the Underworld's shifts.

To most gods, the changes seemed almost imperceptible.

However!

For a God-King level Underworld deity like Eris, the stability was palpable. She could clearly sense the Underworld undergoing a transformation—a deepening, steadying shift.

It seemed as if the Underworld was becoming more solid and unshakable, as though some presence was reinforcing it.

"This is the effect of having born wardens of the Eight Hells…"

"What if…"

Eris pondered for a moment, considering what might have happened if Europa hadn't given birth to Aiakos, Minos, and Rhadamanthys.

Persephone, noticing Eris's thoughtful expression, guessed her thoughts and replied with a gentle smile, "Eris, you're mistaken! In truth, Europa's three children were bound to be born. No matter the circumstances, the Underworld was always destined to have three perfect Underworld Warriors."

"I understand!"

Eris bowed slightly, now understanding the full implications.

Persephone smiled and nodded.

Indeed!

As she explained, for the Underworld and its 108 warriors, as long as perfect Underworld Warriors could be born, three of them would inevitably assume the roles of the Underworld's three giants.

There was no question of it.

Aiakos, Minos, and Rhadamanthys were always destined to exist.

Yet.

Hades saw no need to discuss this matter further; it was irrelevant. The events of the past, whatever they might have been, were inconsequential now.

For today's Underworld, only the present truly mattered. This was the story that now belonged to the Underworld.

With his divine power, Hades forged three Underworld Artifacts, gradually bringing them into existence.

Whenever a perfect Underworld Warrior is born, an Underworld Artifact unique to each is born with them.

These artifacts emerge naturally, needing only Hades' divine power to bring them to fruition.

This is the core principle. Regardless of the circumstances, Underworld Artifacts come into being this way, and now, the artifacts belonging to the three brothers had manifested.

With a wave of Hades' hand, three artifacts took shape:

The soaring wings of the Garuda.

Threads of crystal.

Dark purple wings of the wyvern.

The three Underworld Artifacts revealed themselves.

Underworld Artifact: Soul of Garuda.

Underworld Artifact: Crystal Puppet Strings.

Underworld Artifact: Wings of the Wyvern.

These three artifacts were not forged by Hades' will alone.

In fact!

Even Hades could not create Underworld Artifacts on a whim. Each artifact, like the Demon Star's Underworld Armor, is born through a natural process and only requires Hades' divine power to accelerate its emergence.

That's all there is to it. There are no other variables involved—this is the key factor.

Regardless of the circumstances, Underworld Artifacts always form this way. Now, the artifacts for the three brothers had been born.

With a slight motion, Hades sent the three artifacts to their respective Demon Stars, where they would find their rightful owners.
