Chapter 366: The Best Craftsman, Winning Over the Fire God Hephaistos

~14 min read 2,683 words

"Gaia! I can't hold on much longer." Gaia, who had fallen from Mount Olympus, grabbed several boulders, stabilizing her body, but Qutuosi behind her wasn't so lucky.

He could barely grab two stones on Gaia's body, just hanging there in midair.

"If I help you, we'll both likely fall together, Qutuosi. You're just a pawn of mine." After saying this, Gaia exerted herself forcefully, continuing to stabilize her body.

The violent shaking caused Qutuosi to lose his grip; he could only draw a massive Olympian longsword and stab it into Gaia's body to stabilize himself.

"Gaia, you said you wanted to take revenge with me?"

"This is the Titans' war; it has nothing to do with you, Qutuosi." After saying this, Gaia exerted herself forcefully and flung Qutuosi away.

After negotiating with this great-grandmother, Qutuosi was mercilessly abandoned, and the Olympian Holy Sword fell with him into the ten-thousand-zhang abyss.

Luode, hiding to the side, didn't go to save Qutuosi but instead appeared and snatched the Olympian Holy Sword.

Really, just fight if you're going to fight! Zeus, why don't you take back the Olympian Holy Sword? Now it's just cheap for me.

And Gaia, you just need to have Qutuosi jump into those woods beside you—wouldn't that be fine? With Qutuosi's bald-headed mobility, letting him grab any tree would let him survive, or you could just speak a bit more kindly! With a bald-headed personality, if you coax him a little, he's still willing to follow you and keep working.

You really can't tell who's the main carry! They're a king, leading you bronzes in an attack on Mount Olympus.

Relying on you bunch of stupid Titans, you can't possibly win this war, and Qutuosi, even if he left you Titans, could single-handedly clean up those Olympian gods spotless.

"Gaia!!" The Qutuosi falling off the cliff let out a voice-changing shout! But unfortunately, he didn't transform into some light giant.

"Face reality, Qutu baldy, even if you shout for Gaia, you won't transform." Luode, hiding nearby, said with a face full of schadenfreude.

Qutuosi's personality is truly detestable; in parts four and five, things were a bit better—although his fighting methods were still violent, at least he could now communicate normally.

In the first three parts and the two side stories, this Qutu baldy was simply evil to the extreme, belonging to the type who kills without blinking an eye, and he's also done plenty of scheming against people.

After Qutuosi and Gaia were repelled, the gods of Mount Olympus began their counteroffensive; the sun god Helios drove his sun chariot into the sky and attacked these Titan giants from above.

The other Olympian gods also began displaying their divine powers, continuously attacking these Titans who had climbed the mountain.

"Hades! After Qutuosi falls into the River Styx, he will surely have his power stripped away; now is the best time to eliminate him.

My brother, you go eliminate him; I'll stay on Mount Olympus to deal with these Titans." Zeus turned his head toward his other brother Hades and spoke.

Poseidon has already been cleaned up; if Qutuosi can also kill Hades, then it would be perfect—by then, all of Mount Olympus would be mine alone to rule, with no one able to oppose me.

Hades, upon hearing this, nodded and swung his two massive Death God hooks, flying straight down from Mount Olympus.

Zeus is truly not trustworthy!

But just as he wished, after falling into his own River Styx, Qutuosi will surely have a large amount of power stripped away; if he can survive, that's already not bad, and then I'll come to deal with this war god.

Luode previously gave me a prophecy, saying I would be defeated by Qutuosi in the underworld; so I want to see if I can break this fate—now the Goddess of Fate is dead, and no one can control fate anymore.

In a space in the underworld, Luode instantly produced the massive Olympian Holy Sword; this sword emitting a faint blue glow possesses unimaginable power, even stronger than my Fel Giant Sword, Worldbreaker.

"Dear, what do you want to do with this sword?" Sylvanas looked at Luode with a puzzled expression and asked.

"What? Of course, I'm going to make it bear the surname Luo; I plan to reforge it, and also make its power even more formidable." Luode said with a smile.

The power of this Olympian Holy Sword is extremely formidable, far surpassing Qutuosi's Chaos Twin Blades; it is a top-tier divine king-level weapon, even stronger than Odin's Eternal Spear.

Luode plans to modify this weapon; first, he took out a large block of super Titan iron generated by infusing white dwarf metal with Sargaras divine power, then also took out Saronite iron with the power of Yogg-Saron's core.

These Saronite irons are the product of Yogg-Saron's power contaminating ordinary Titan iron; although slightly inferior to super Titan iron, they are already top-tier metal.

Besides that, Luode also took out several blocks of Uru god steel metal obtained from Odin; this time, Luode plans to reforge the Olympian Holy Sword and imbue it with life.

Previously, the soul energy of Yogg-Saron, Poseidon's soul energy, and the soul energy of that god from the Final Fantasy world—three gods' soul energy—was enough to bring this weapon to life! "Dear! To reforge this weapon of extreme power, you must have a top-tier blacksmith; are you planning to return to our world? Find the dwarf king Aetre for help." Sylvanas asked.

Wanting to forge such an extremely powerful artifact—only the dwarf race could possibly do it, and even the dwarf race might not be able to perfectly forge it.

"Hahaha! No, no, there's a ready-made blacksmith here, and frankly speaking, his forging technique is even stronger than the dwarf king's." Luode said.

The best craftsman in all of Greece, the god of fire and forging Hephaistos—isn't he just a ready-made choice? Back then, the Olympian Holy Sword was forged during the Titan War era, with Zeus aided by the power of heaven and earth.

But when it comes to forging craftsmanship, Zeus couldn't even catch up to the artisan and forging god, the fire god Hephaistos, even if he whipped his horse.

This forging god is truly top-tier; as long as you give him good materials, he can forge countless divine artifacts.

Qutuosi found a navel stone from the previous divine king Cronos and forged it into the Vengeance Whip; its power even matches that of the Chaos Blades.

And what is the origin of this navel stone? It was just a random stone Zeus's mother found and had this divine king swallow.

As long as you have sufficiently good materials, the fire god Hephaistos can absolutely forge unimaginable divine artifacts, and Luode will also provide assistance.

"Can you convince this fire god with confidence? He's Zeus's son, and you plan to kill his old man?" Sylvanas asked.

"Hahaha! These Olympian gods have one biggest weakness: father-son discord, mother-daughter discord." Luode said.

Even Zeus gave his son, the fire god Hephaistos, a green hat, and his brother Arisi also gave him a hat.

Even more, he was beaten by his own father, who stole his beloved daughter Pandora—this is this fire god's fatal weakness.

Pandora of the War God World is a soul born from the Olympian Holy Fire; the fire god Hephaistos forged her body from his own flesh and blood, giving birth to this special life.

Originally, they should have had a father-daughter relationship, but the fire god Hephaistos continued the glorious tradition of his Greek god clan, developing a deformed love for this lifeform he created.

And as the daughter, Pandora should also have felt her father's deformed love toward her, which is why even if Qutuosi killed the fire god, Pandora said nothing—and even found a new father.

To extinguish the Olympian Holy Fire, originally there was only one method: Pandora jumping into the Olympian Holy Fire; but Luode now has a new method.

My Homunculus creation Helios has already evolved toward the mythological sun aspect.

Not only does it possess the dwarf race's neutron star fire, but also eternal fire and phoenix fire.

Absorbing the Olympian Holy Fire isn't difficult at all; as long as he steps forward, he can absorb the Olympian Holy Fire completely.

"Oh! My heavens, please—these gods here are just a bunch of perverts, so disgusting!

I feel like vomiting—this fire god is just a pervert? Or say, all the gods here are perverts." After hearing Luode's explanation, Sylvanas spoke with a face full of disdain. It's really making me nauseous; she's almost about to vomit—indecency can't even describe how perverted these Greek Olympian gods are! "Hahaha! This might just be their trait! If you don't want to go see this fire god, just stay in the underworld; I'll go see him alone." Luode said.

Originally, I still wanted to have the fire god upgrade Sylvanas's equipment!

But looking now, the queen seems to really dislike this fire god, or rather, dislikes all the gods in this world.

"I'll just stay in the underworld!" Sylvanas said.

Luode, upon hearing this, nodded; since the queen doesn't want to go, then I'll go alone—upgrading equipment can wait until I lure him back to the Azeroth world, and it'll still be doable.

No mistake, Luode doesn't plan to let the fire god be a tool person once; you need to make him a permanent tool person. In the entire Greek pantheon, Luode believes the only talent is this fire god.

After sending Sylvanas into the underworld palace, Luode took the Olympian Holy Sword and his prepared rare metals, passed through the Helios Gate, and arrived at the place where the fire god Hephaistos was imprisoned—a huge lava cave.

The fire god is a giant dozens of meters tall, his face extremely ugly, one leg lame, and one eye also has some problem.

"Who are you? How could you cross the Gate of Olympus? You are a god—what are you doing here?" The fire god Hephaestus looked at Luode and asked.

The aura emanating from this god is very strong, even not weaker than his father Zeus, yet on him he felt no divinity or divine power at all—truly strange!

"Let me introduce myself—I am not a god of your Greek pantheon; I come from another world, belonging to another miraculous deity. I have come to your world to find the finest craftsman here to forge weapons for me." Luode spoke.

"Oh! Just like the war god Tyr who came to our world for tourism a few years ago? You clearly come from another divine system; you want me to forge weapons for you—you should first go see Zeus." The fire god Hephaestus fiddled with his forge and spoke.

"Now your Olympus is suffering an unprecedented catastrophe; I possess a bit of prophetic ability, so I am quite confident that the rule of your Olympian gods has come to an end.

Have you not considered finding yourself a new patron? Perhaps my divine pantheon would accept you—I am also an existence of god-king level." Luode spoke.

"?? You want to recruit me, to make me one of your people?"

"Exactly, I have learned some things about you—your daughter Pandora has been imprisoned by Zeus, and I can rescue your daughter.

And if you wish, I can bring your beloved wife back to your side." Luode spoke.

When Qutuosi first stepped out from the palace of the goddess of love, Hephaestus still thought his wife had changed her mind—until he saw Qutuosi.

It goes without saying that this fire god still harbors lingering affection for his love-goddess wife. (The most bizarre part is that after Qutuosi killed Hephaestus and controlled Quye to return to the love goddess's palace, he could still play little games with the love goddess—I damn, simply killing hearts!) "You can rescue Pandora? Impossible—Pandora has already been locked up; as for the love goddess, my appearance will not change his heart." Hephaestus said.

If his wife were willing to accept him, he would not place his deformed affection on his daughter Pandora.

"I will personally go up later to talk with your wife, the love goddess—believe me, I can make him change his mind." Luode spoke.

"Hmph! How do I know you are not just another one lusting after my wife's beauty?" Hephaestus said with a face full of disdain.

The god before him is extremely handsome, tall and sturdy, his whole body flowing with powerful life force.

Based on my understanding of the love goddess, upon seeing him, Aphrodite would immediately act.

"To be honest, I am not particularly interested in public buses." Luode spoke.

As for the love goddess, forget it! Luode still does not want to provoke this Greek public bus—occasionally riding it is still fine.

"Is that so? Then how do you plan to make her accept me again?" Hephaestus asked.

"This is my business—you need not interfere; just agree to my terms.

Leave with me to my realm, serve as my personal craftsman, and I will rescue both your wife and your daughter." Luode spoke.

"Can I trust you?"

"You can trust me—I can accomplish all this, and you can first look at the supreme materials I have brought!" Luode finished speaking and took out the three rare metals he had prepared, as well as the Olympus Holy Sword.

After seeing the three rare special magical materials, Hephaestus's eyes lit up—with his discernment, he could naturally tell these three materials are top-tier for forging divine artifacts.

Moreover, as a top-tier craftsman, upon seeing good materials, he also gets an itch to forge weapons.

These materials can forge extremely powerful divine artifacts, but upon seeing the Olympus Holy Sword, this fire god immediately became agitated.

Why is this divine sword in the hands of this foreign god? This sword was previously personally guarded by his father, then fell into Qutuosi's hands.

But Qutuosi was previously knocked down from Olympus—meaning that at that time, this foreign god obtained the Olympus Holy Sword! "You actually dare to come to me holding the Olympus Holy Sword? It seems you truly believe my father Zeus is doomed." Hephaestus said.

"Exactly—this time Zeus is surely dead, and I don't even need to lift a hand." Luode spoke.

"You expect Qutuosi to kill him? Impossible—this Spartan cannot do it; as long as the Olympus Holy Fire does not extinguish, he cannot." Hephaestus shook his head and said.

As long as the Olympus Holy Fire remains unextinguished and burns on this Olympus, Zeus is invincible.

"Believe me—I have a way to extinguish the Olympus Holy Fire." Luode spoke.

"No, no, you must not touch her, you must not entertain thoughts about her." Hephaestus suddenly seemed to realize something, shouting angrily at Luode.

The only way to extinguish the Olympus Holy Fire is to sacrifice his beloved daughter Pandora.

"No need to sacrifice your daughter—I also have a way to extinguish your Olympus Holy Fire, and I can guarantee this to you." Luode spoke.

My Homizi creations can also extinguish the Olympus Holy Fire, and moreover, directly absorb it.

Upon hearing this, the emotions of Hephaestus and Hephaestus eased.

"I want you to help me reforge the Olympus Holy Sword, infusing these three special metals into this sword." Luode spoke.

"You want to reforge this divine sword? Impossible—no fire can melt this holy sword; even my fire cannot, I can at most use the three metals you brought to forge weapons." Hephaestus spoke.

If this holy sword could be melted, Zeus would have had him reforge it long ago—after all, my forging craftsmanship could indeed increase this sword's power somewhat.

"Don't rush! Melting this holy sword does not require your worry—I naturally have a way to melt it; you only need to do the forging." Luode spoke.

"Then do you have any specific plan?" Hephaestus asked.

Frankly, he truly does not want to serve Zeus anymore.

Upon hearing this, Luode's mouth corner revealed a hint of a smile. (End of chapter)
