“...”Are you really that sincere? Qin Muye just casually said, “With Zeus around, do you think it’s likely there’s nothing suspicious going on?”
“That’s enough. You should stay in the Netherworld for the time being. If you’re unlucky and get caught up in some trouble, you might even lose your life,” Hades said.
“Maybe.” Qin Muye expressed his disbelief in destiny. If he really believed in destiny, he would have been gone long ago.
“It could be destiny,” Hades said, his gaze deep.
“Your Majesty, King of the Netherworld, I feel there must be something fishy about this,” Qin Muye replied.
“Oh? Where’s the fishiness?” Hades’ expression shifted as he asked immediately.
“Just lock them up for now; we can talk about it after we see what happens next,” Hades said, unable to see through the situation himself. Although the news had yet to arrive, he understood from Qin Muye’s description that this matter was definitely not trivial—all the trouble involved the offspring of the Ocean God Oceanus.
“What do you think about this issue?” Hades asked.
The local civilization really doesn’t hold much value.
Unless, like this time, when compelled, he had to impersonate the offspring of Hades and Persephone; otherwise, he wouldn’t normally take such a gamble.
After all, it’s not about who can’t afford to gamble; it’s about who can afford to lose.
After crossing the Nether River, Qin Muye, accompanied by Sisyphus, went straight to the Netherworld King Palace to see Hades.
And it’s not about showing off or slapping faces while battling through heaven and earth.
Moreover, the workload has increased. After all, this was several days’ worth of work piled up. When Qin Muye returned, he took Charon’s boat—the two of them were bickering. It’s no longer just about working overtime; now one person has to do the work of several people.
And the Horror Universe must not be revealed to the Titan Divine Race for the time being—any leak of his identity would reveal flaws.
Furthermore, he also discovered that his compatibility with this thing was only about 20%. The strength of the Titan Divine Race consisted of two parts: their innate strength and the Divine Authority they possessed. This is what makes a complete Titan Divine Race; Qin Muye’s version could only be considered a crude imitation.
And now, with Aladdin’s lamp in hand, it seems unnecessary for Qin Muye to gather resources through the three local powers of the Horror Universe anymore.
And Sisyphus is also quite unlucky. At present, his connections are established. After all, he’s related by marriage to Hades now, and with what Qin Muye is bringing, he’s definitely going to suffer, but it’ll certainly be to a lesser degree.
In any case, as long as the blame is pinned on Zeus, there shouldn’t be any major issues.
Or better yet, just obliterate all of Hell... Okay, that’s unrealistic; he doesn’t have the power to accomplish that.
He knew that he should have corresponding Divine Authority; it just wasn’t in this fairy tale world, but rather in the Hell of the Horror Universe.
After hearing Qin Muye’s description, Hades also fell silent, as this matter, in essence, was still caused by Zeus’s lechery.
He could take his time in the fairy tale story, anyway, no matter how long he stayed, it would only be 24 hours when he returned to his territory.
He could completely make a wish; while the Lamp God might not be able to create something out of nothing, if he wished for the Lamp God to collect the resources he needed, wouldn’t that work?
The only interests were probably Hell and extraterrestrial civilizations.
Sisyphus was taken away to be imprisoned, his treatment would probably be a bit better.
First it was the River God Asopus, then his son-in-law Sisyphus, if they kept pressing against a Titan, and if there was no response then, things would get interesting.
Otherwise, how could it be said, to just kick Sisyphus out to take a beating?
If the Ocean God Oceanus truly won and even came down to rescue him, he’d probably be able to return to the land of the living and assume the position of Supreme Emperor.
Sisyphus at his side didn’t dare say a word; he felt that he might not have offended just the Death God, but the entire pantheon of Netherworld Gods.
Therefore, Qin Muye decided that he had to wait at least until he completed the task with the title ‘King of the Ruby’ before he could expose himself.
Originally, he was planning to return to his own Hell in the Horror Universe for further Bloodline transformation once he reached the 50% limit of Bloodline Concentration.
Before that, the paper data and design had already been completed, now it was just lacking a field inspection.
When he bound the Death God, he offended not just Zeus, but the Netherworld Gods as well.
If this really didn’t get settled, then the Ocean God Oceanus might not even be able to protect his progeny afterwards.
This also ended Qin Muye’s idea of directly reverting to the bloodline of Creator God Chaos Chaos.
It was just that in this world, he couldn’t level up and research some projects related to himself, and a lot of research couldn’t be monetized either. Otherwise, why would he want to return if not to convert his gains during this period into actual power?
However accurate the paper data might be, it wasn’t as relevant as the actual data.
As for continuing the research, he was actually nearing a bottleneck now, for a simple reason: he only had paper data without experimental data, which wasn’t much different from armchair strategizing.
As for the subsequent value of the Horror Universe, to be honest, there wasn’t much left. If he could obtain all the benefits at once, why wait for a trickle? After all, the total benefit was just that, and not that significant.
As for the Titan Bloodline, he had made quite a few improvements, it was the only project making progress.
If Zeus couldn’t do it... then perhaps Poseidon, since this time it also involved the Ocean, and if that still didn’t work, then add Hades to the mix, as the three brothers were of that sort anyway.
