Chapter 369: The Love Goddess's Special Divine Power, the Fire God's Deformed Love, Pandora

"Impossible, the fire god's appearance cannot change; he was born deformed. If he could change his own body, Hades would have already changed it." Aphrodite said.

Upon hearing this, Luode laughed; Hades actually found a way to change, and he also joined my camp.

"I will take you to another world where there is also a group of Greek gods, and their appearance is even more handsome and their strength even greater."

Moreover, the gods of that world love to shed their divine bodies on a whim, discarding them and instead using mortal shells; I intend to let the fire god Hephaestus occupy a fire god's body in that new world." Luode said.

Speaking of which, in the Saint Seiya world there have indeed appeared many divine spirits, but the fire god Hephaestus seems not to have appeared.

However, we can talk about this later when we get to the Saint Seiya world; anyway, let's first paint a big pie.

"God King Luode! Actually, the fire god prefers that little girl he created named Pandora; give her to him and he'll be satisfied."

"And don't say that; the Greek gods of that world are much stronger, and this fire god merely likes forging. His mental energy and soul abilities aren't that great; if you let him seize a stronger fire god's body in another world, he can't do it." Aphrodite said.

"I value the fire god's forging ability highly; I hope he will serve me." After a moment's thought, Luode said.

"God King Luode! Since you said another world also has Greek gods, why not plunder a love goddess for him?"

"The male gods of that world are more handsome, so the female gods should be even more beautiful, right?" Aphrodite said.

"You say that, and indeed it's true." Luode stroked his chin and said.

As for the Greek gods of another world, in terms of appearance, whether male or female, they absolutely outshine the Greek gods of this world by a mile.

"That's right, great God King Luode, you helped me remove the influence of the Titan Giants' curse; I am very grateful to you."

"Know that I am not just a pretty vase; my divine power is miraculous—I govern love and fertility."

"Sometimes I can be of great help to you; sometimes my divine authority can let you win unexpectedly."

"I govern love, and love is filled with suspicion, lies, betrayal, and disloyalty; I can use my divine power to magnify these things."

"I can even make the person someone loves fall for you, or for someone else, letting your enemies taste the heart‑rending flavor of such love." Aphrodite said.

Upon hearing this, Luode's eyes lit up; this power of love is indeed miraculous, capable of producing unexpected effects—this love goddess doesn't seem utterly useless after all!

If her love‑god power is used well, it will definitely produce unexpected effects.

"I understand, let's go! First come with me to see the fire god." Luode nodded, taking Aphrodite with him as they left her palace and arrived at the Molten Flame Valley where the fire god Hephaestus dwells.

At that moment the fire god hadn't noticed their arrival; instead he was excitedly waving his hammer, meticulously crafting a splendid golden armor.

This armor was made with materials provided by Luode, personally forged by the fire god; its rank is second only to the Olympus Holy Sword, lacking only a powerful core energy.

"Oh! God King Luode, you're back, and Aphrodite too! You seem to have returned to normal." The fire god looked at his wife and said.

Since Pandora's Box was opened, he has already guessed some of the situation, after all he himself forged Pandora's Box back then.

Therefore the Olympian gods were affected by the Titans' curse, which he knows; he, the fire god, and the Underworld King Hades are the only deities not severely impacted.

After his wife, the love goddess, was infected by this strange curse, all her inner desires were magnified countless times.

"Hephaestus, I want to end our marriage; please, I really don't like you." Aphrodite bluntly said.

"Hmm, I think our marriage should also end; perhaps this would be the best outcome for us." Hephaestus nodded upon hearing her and said.

Now in his heart, the love goddess has faded considerably; what occupies his entire mind is his beloved daughter Pandora.

"Don't worry, I've already spoken with God King Luode; once we reach another world we will help you seize that world's love goddess and make her your wife." Aphrodite said.

"Indeed, Hephaestus, I have tried to persuade the love goddess, but she insists she doesn't much like you, so I want to hear your opinion." Luode said.

"Thank you, Lord Luode, for willing to take me in and let me work with higher‑grade materials to hone my forging skills, and also to help me rescue my beloved daughter Pandora."

"I am already content; as for the love goddess of another world, I don't care—as long as Pandora stays by my side, I am satisfied." Hephaestus waved his hand and said.

"See, I told you so! The fire god's mind is now full of nothing but his daughter Pandora." Aphrodite shrugged helplessly and said.

"Hephaestus, are you sure? You really don't want the love goddess of another world?" Luode asked.

"I have decided, Lord Luode, but I would like to ask you for a favor." Hephaestus, while enchanting the armor he was forging, said to Luode.

"Speak up; I'll agree to anything I can manage." Luode said.

"Forcibly twisted melons aren't sweet, and I also used the Sharingan to alter memories, but this trick doesn't work on the love goddess, and now there isn't really a good solution."

"Lord Luode, you just told me that Hades also joined your camp, planning to seize the underworld queen of another world and the body of another underworld king."

"Another world has our entire Greek pantheon, so is my daughter Pandora also there?" the fire god asked.

"That's right, Pandora also exists in that other world." Luode nodded and said.

"Lord Luode, my daughter Pandora was forged from my flesh and blood; her soul was born from the Olympus Holy Fire."

"After her birth, although she does not possess the mighty power of the gods, she is nonetheless an immortal life."

"However, her life is quite peculiar; for certain reasons she will always retain the appearance of a young girl."

"I wonder if, if possible, we could give her a new body so she can escape this cursed form." Hephaestus said.

"The biggest obstacle preventing him from being with Pandora is their father‑daughter relationship; if Pandora could change her body,"

"then this would no longer be an issue, and he could openly pursue Pandora."

"As for the body made from his flesh and blood, it's not really suitable—this is just an excuse. Although he is ugly, he is still a major god; a body forged from his flesh and blood is a vessel that contains divine power."

"Compared to a mortal body, it is vastly stronger."

Upon hearing this, the love goddess's eyes narrowed and a playful smile touched her lips; she is the goddess of love.

At this very moment, the love emanating from the fire god is not paternal love at all, but a deformed love.

Indeed, just as I suspected, this cripple has taken a liking to the girl he himself created.

Aphrodite looked around the fire god's dwelling; the ceiling was hung with all sorts of statues, each one a likeness of Pandora.

At this moment Luode also felt a chill; this fire god's hobby is truly extraordinary! No wonder Sylvanas would find him disgusting!

However, I can accept your proposal; after all, in the Saint Seiya world Pandora does exist, and she is also easy to obtain.

"I understand, Hephaestus; I will give your daughter Pandora a brand‑new body so she can discard the vessel you created for her." Luode nodded and said.

"What are you planning? I know, old man, and I won't spill the beans."

"Really? Then thank you very much, Lord Luode; for agreeing to my request I will wholeheartedly serve you, as long as you don't take Pandora away from my side." Hephaestus, his huge ugly face turned toward Luode, said excitedly.

"After the Olympus incident ends, I will take you to another world; then I will fulfill my promise. For now, focus here on forging armor for me. If Qutuosi comes, just relay my words to him exactly as I told you." Luode said.

Why forge a piece of armor? Naturally it's to bring it to the Saint Seiya world and turn it into a divine cloth! Don't let me down! Fire God Hephaestus.

"Don't worry! Lord Luode, the initial stage of the armor has been forged; after a while I can finish it." Fire God Hephaestus said.

Luo Ze nodded, taking the love goddess and directly leaving her Olympus palace.

"This is why I don't like him; besides his body being a deformed pervert."

"his mind is also a deformed pervert; aside from his skill in forging, he is good for nothing." Aphrodite said.

As a married couple for many years, Aphrodite still has some understanding of her ugly husband.

His inner self was self-abased; when Pandora was just born, he already developed a deformed love for this daughter.

It's utterly disgusting—like father, like son! Your old man Zeus also likes to play this game.

"Then from today on, you'll follow me!" Luode said, looking at Aphrodite.

"Lord Luode, I will use my abilities to help you; the divine authority I control is not combat-oriented,

"but it possesses a very wonderful ability, after all, any life, even gods, will have love." Aphrodite said.

Luode nodded upon hearing that, directly sending the love goddess into his private space; this public bus, aside from occasionally sitting in it,

Now it seems there are other uses; the love goddess's divine authority that she controls, Luode has already figured out how to screw people over in the future.

At this moment, deep in the Underworld, Qutuosi struggled enormously to crawl out from the Underworld River, and encountered a Yatianna who had evolved into a soul state.

But this time, Yatianna changed her original intention; she no longer stops Qutuosi from dealing with Zeus, but instead wants to help Qutuosi, even transforming his Chaos Blade into an Exile Blade.

Furthermore, she gave this weapon a brand-new enchantment, allowing Qutuosi to summon the souls of dead Spartans to fight.

After receiving Yatianna's help, Qutuosi began to roam the Underworld.

Although he was thrown into the Underworld River, the Titan divine power on his body, together with the previous Olympian divine power, unexpectedly fused, truly becoming his God of War's power.

This God of War is constantly becoming stronger; soon Qutuosi came before a statue, and was drawn over by a cry of 'Father'.

Qutuosi first met Pandora, the daughter of the Fire God, and from her learned about the matter of the Olympian Sacred Fire.

Yatianna had just told him that to defeat Zeus, he must extinguish the Olympian Sacred Fire; otherwise, Zeus would be an invincible existence on this land.

Not far from Pandora's statue, a huge sword was planted, flashing with blue light; this was precisely the previous Olympian Sacred Sword.

Qutuosi immediately stepped forward, pulled out the Olympian Sacred Sword, and gripped it once again.

Qutuosi felt a different sensation; this divine sword seemed to have become heavier and sharper, and its power also greater.

"Release your wrath, Spartan; now wielding this holy sword, you can unleash the Spartan Wrath." Yatianna's voice rang in Qutuosi's ears.

"Ah!" Qutuosi let out a violent roar, his whole body emitting an extremely terrifying divine power.

It even caused the surrounding time to pause; wielding the Olympian Sacred Sword, Qutuosi was like a tiger among sheep, madly slaughtering the foot soldiers in the Underworld.

With the help of the Olympian Sacred Sword, Qutuosi's actions in the Underworld began to proceed smoothly.

Soon, in a secret chamber, he killed a fool who had once tried to come to the Underworld to steal the Underworld King's wife, obtaining Apollo's Bow.

Thus he entered Hades' Temple.

"Spartan, I've been waiting here for you, waiting to tear you to pieces,"

"you killed my beloved queen, beat to death my nephew, killed my niece; we have many scores to settle." Hades' form transformed into a giant god several meters tall.

Right off the bat, a killing move: the Soul-Hooking Claw swung at Qutuosi, trying to hook out his soul.

The battle with the Underworld King is about to erupt. (End of chapter)
