At this moment, in the Underworld.
The disappearance of Cronus’s phantom and Hyperion also shocked Hades and Hypnos.
However, when he recalled that the mysterious Nyx was the one who had made this move, Hades felt relieved.
After all, this being was so mysterious that she seemed on par with Chronos.
Controlling a Chief God was naturally easy for her.
“Let’s go, Hypnos!
This time, thanks to your Mother Goddess—Lady Nyx—for saving me, I must thank her personally!”
“Yes!”
Hypnos responded and led Hades to the temple in the Underworld.
He was actually quite puzzled, never imagining that his Mother Goddess could so easily control Cronus.
Although the gods of the Underworld were all children of Nyx and lived with her day and night, they knew that Nyx was very powerful.
But such power—Hypnos had never expected.
Of course, such an outcome was quite understandable.
After all, Nyx was rather reclusive—she had lived in the Underworld since birth and had almost never made any moves.
As her children, it was only natural not to know her true standing.
Frankly speaking, Hades probably knew Nyx far more deeply than Hypnos and his own children.
Soon, under Hypnos’s guidance, they arrived at the temple of the Underworld.
“You’re back, Hypnos!
He is…”
Before the temple gates, Hypnos’s brother—the God of Death, who governed death—Thanatos—looked at Hades in astonishment.
The moment his gaze met Hades’s eyes, a mysterious feeling revealed Hades’s identity.
This sense of connection was exactly the same as when Hypnos had first met Hades.
“You probably know the details without my mentioning them, Thanatos.
Since you and I are twin gods, naturally we share the same understanding.
Barring any unforeseen events, Lord Hades will one day become our master!
Alright, you may go.
I wish to take Lord Hades to Lady Nyx!”
“Mm!”
Thanatos did not stop him; he had only come to greet Hypnos.
Now that they knew of Hades’s existence, they could not help but look at him several more times, and respect gradually appeared in their eyes.
From the very beginning of Chaos, these gods of the Underworld had always been under Nyx’s guidance.
But Nyx was too reclusive, almost never managing affairs.
These Underworld gods were locked in the Underworld—calling them recluses would not be an exaggeration.
Even if they wanted to achieve something great, these Second-Class Gods could not make much of a splash!
After all, the Chief God was the master of the universe; these Second-Class Gods were at best merely his vassals!
“Thanatos, is it?
Since you’re here, let’s go in together!”
“This…
Yes, Lord Hades!”
Thanatos had not expected Hades to invite him, but since he had been invited, he naturally would not refuse.
Although what was about to happen was unclear, the meeting between Hades and Nyx was certainly no simple matter.
For him to participate as well was a great honor!
“You came earlier than I expected, Hades!
I thought you would wait until you grew up before coming to me!”
When Hades and the Twin Gods entered the temple, Nyx, seated in the place of honor, could not help but speak.
Hades looked at Nyx and was involuntarily stunned.
Especially Nyx’s eyes—Hades had never seen such a gaze before.
They were exceptionally clear and penetrating, yet completely devoid of warmth—like staring into an abyss that gazed back.
Hades even felt that the eyes of the dead might hold more life than Nyx’s.
“What’s wrong?”
“N-nothing, Lady Nyx!
Your presence is so striking that it caught my attention without me even noticing—I lost my composure!”
Hades hastily said, though there was a hint of flattery in his voice.
But the goddess before him had just saved him, so a little flattery should not be too much!
Besides, apart from her unique gaze, Nyx was truly a vision of divine beauty—ethereal and commanding, the very embodiment of a primordial goddess.
Hades’s statement was actually quite reasonable!
“Hades, you are even more eloquent than I expected!
However, there is one thing I did not anticipate: your fate seems to have taken a serious turn!”
Nyx stared intently at Hades, and under her gaze, even Hades himself could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.
It seemed as though everything about him was laid bare!
Meanwhile, the Twin Gods beside Hades had not uttered a single word throughout.
Of course, at this stage, neither of them had the right to speak!
Hades was their master, Nyx was their Mother Goddess.
These two were probably little better than servants!
“Fate!”
Hades seemed to understand, and Nyx also nodded.
“At first, I thought fate had changed a little!
Although you escaped Cronus’s seal, fate would still make you walk your path as the King of the Underworld!
But now it seems I was too simplistic!
Hades, your fate has completely changed.
Now, even I cannot see it!
If even I am like this, then Cronus’s words are probably not much better!
In this mythological age, perhaps your presence will completely change its appearance!”
As expected, there is a deep connection between Nyx and Chronos!
Hades’s expression changed slightly.
According to legend, Nyx was actually a Trinity Goddess.
Besides being the Goddess of Night, she fulfilled three other roles:
She was the wife of the Super God Chronos and the goddess of fixed numbers—Ananke;
Also one of the nymphs, the goddess of retribution and the goddess of natural law—Adrasteia;
And the goddess of deeds and fate—Hemarmene, who governed all fate and destiny!
Among them, the most fearsome was, of course, Ananke.
As the wife of the Super God Chronos, Ananke was also one of the Super Gods.
In a sense, she was an existence equal to Chronos!
But at this moment, Hades did not have any particular thoughts about Nyx’s words.
After all, he was a reincarnator with a system, and his status after reincarnation was quite high.
If even that could not change his fate, Hades might as well give up entirely.
Although the system now seemed dormant, Hades knew that in the future, he would most likely still rely on the system’s support!
“Hey, Hades—do you want to be my son?”
“Ah?!”
As soon as Nyx said this, Hades was stunned.
The Twin Gods beside Hades widened their eyes, almost doubting their own ears!
