Chapter 173: Chapter 175: Starting a Factory in the Netherworld

“It seems that this world no longer requires Spirit Monsters to come over, and I’m in luck too; among the souls of the dead, there are quite a few talents.”
“Of course, wouldn’t it be better if we could attract other Titans and tie them to our chariot for conquest in other worlds?”
“Okay, then I shall take my leave now,” Qin Muye said and left.
“Alright, Dionysus, what do you want me to do?” Hades sighed and spoke.
“That is, when there’s an enemy we can’t defeat, then we’ll have to trouble Your Majesty Hades to take action,” Qin Muye said.
“Just that?” Hades was somewhat bemused.
“Yes, I originally thought Dionysus had no need for power, but now I realize that power to him is merely an accessory, he wants more.”
“You can help him, he is our progeny, our only progeny!” Persephone spoke with a grave tone.
“You mean to say, you were chosen by a supreme being to participate in a game during your Titan Bloodline awakening, and that you own a territory in another world, but can come back because of a Divine Artifact? However, you’re still not out of danger yet.”
“Doesn’t he need mines, Wood, and such resources? I will discuss this with Gaia Mother Goddess, and if we have Gaia Mother Goddess’s support, everything will be simple.”
“Especially those few from the Netherworld, if we can get Gaia Mother Goddess, Typhon, and others, if Hades Your Majesty could convince the King of Gods not to hog everything for himself, wouldn’t many more worlds become a much bigger piece of the pie?”
“Doesn’t my going against the grain prove that I’m a special Titan?” Qin Muye retorted.
“I understand, but one needs sufficient foundation, at least the entire Netherworld as behind them, but he is currently recovering, just... it’s not that easy,” Hades said.
“Or maybe I can show you the brain...” Hades added, dumbfounded.
Take Yahweh, for instance; he holds very little affection for his creations, he drove out Adam and Eve, forced Lucifer to flee and change his profession, and so forth—his methods are quite ruthless.
But he soon calmed down, “I’ll do my best, but the division of interests isn’t so easy, even if you say you control the initiative, the greed of Titans is beyond your imagination.”
If it really came down to it, Qin Muye would have fled long ago.
Unless it’s Dante’s “Divine Comedy” next door, but Dante and “The Divine Comedy” clearly have nothing to do with Ancient Greek mythology, otherwise it would be possible to replace Hades with Satan or Lucifer.
The differences between myths crafted the diversity among gods.
He even managed to create computers and televisions.
All that was left was a complete fairy tale, which was a bit problematic since no fairy tale could really take place in the Netherworld.
All things have two sides; one naturally uses derogatory terms when targeting an enemy.
Therefore, Hades could only sift through options first. It was common knowledge that the Titan Divine Race indulged in luxury, and the innovations that Qin Muye introduced were very much in line with this hedonistic principle.
Right now, he was in a villain mode, strengthened tenfold by the darkness, always at risk of an unknown Hero arising from some nook, seeking justice against him.
He was no fool. Powerful as he already was, owning a third of the world, Qin Muye could bring him even more.
The Titan Divine Race still had family bonds, but these two were different; he was likely to end up a devil if he looked to them for support.
The torments in Tartarus, the Place of Suffering, did justice to the name. Qin Muye had never experienced it himself, but he had seen it.
The kingdom affair was already settled. He could write his own destiny, since he now held the title of son of Hades, and simply drawing a circle on some land was enough to claim it as his own kingdom.
Appear a bit more innocent, and the villainy grows tenfold. Otherwise, how could his power and influence increase so quickly?
Speaking of combat, he was indeed no easy opponent. After all, he had fought along with Zeus and Poseidon to overthrow the previous God King Cronos. Despite being Hades, he was quite fierce in battle.
One must understand that in the narrative, Yahweh is omniscient and omnipotent, which means the opposite party already knew the outcome and yet chose not to intervene, opting for nonchalance instead.
It was just that Qin Muye was unaware of Hades’ thoughts, otherwise, he would have said that this had nothing to do with style, but was simply a transition from Ancient Greek society to a modern one.
Thanks to Qin Muye’s own incredible abilities, the entire Netherworld Palace had already become almost modernized, with arrangements for electricity, hydropower in place, and installations like electric lights and running water.
In the Netherworld, he was the supreme being.
Not even the God of War was likely a match for him.
And all these changes to his Netherworld Palace had happened in just three days...
To Qin Muye, these were the perfect workers, willing to leave Tartarus, the Place of Suffering. Not just to work on assembly lines; they could be banquet servers if they wanted.
If Qin Muye were part of Chinese mythology, he would likely be laden with wicked deeds, possibly already targeted by some great entity for demon extermination.
If one really thinks about it, the Titan gods of Olympus were more human-like, filled with desires and emotions.
He was fully aware of what he was doing and had never considered whitewashing his deeds.
