I Am Hades, Lord of the Underworld!

The meeting concluded.

One by one, the underworld gods departed, each with their own matters to attend to, especially Aether, who not only had to handle the upcoming events but also needed to consolidate his new status as a God-King.

However!

Among these underworld gods, Hestia seemed to be the most relaxed.

"Ah!"

Hestia lazily sprawled on the bed, yawning, "Mother, how about you transform into me and attend the next meeting in my place?"

"Hehehe~~~"

Hestia laughed happily.

Rhea, watching Hestia's antics, gently shook her head and said warmly, "Alright, no more laziness. There's still much to be done. Once everything is settled, you can rest properly."

"Ah!"

Hestia pouted cutely, feeling quite displeased, but she didn't slack off. Instead, she got up and prepared to continue her work.

Although Hestia didn't particularly enjoy being involved in these matters, she wouldn't shirk her responsibilities either. Despite her laid-back nature, she knew that some things could only be handled by herself.

Hestia understood that many tasks couldn't be taken on by other underworld gods. Or rather, they were simply unable to manage them.

Some things were beyond their reach, just like what Hestia was currently dealing with.

"Go ahead," Rhea said kindly, "Once you're done, there won't be anything else to handle, and you can rest as much as you like."

"Fine, fine, fine."

Hestia gazed at her mother and sighed. It sounded simple, but these tasks were far from easy. Who knows how long it would take to get everything done?

Nevertheless!

Hestia didn't continue to laze around. She stood up and left the underworld.

"Honestly," Rhea remarked, watching Hestia leave, "this child, what a personality."

Rhea shook her head. She couldn't understand why all her children had such peculiar personalities.

Hera was obsessed with her position as queen, to the point of madness, while Zeus had an insatiable thirst for power.

Poseidon was a god who valued emotions, whereas Hades was driven by reason over sentiment. As for Demeter? She seemed the most normal, but in truth, her personality was the strangest and most twisted of all.

And then there was Hestia, who had a completely laid-back attitude.

In summary! 

Rhea felt that none of her six children had a normal personality, and there was nothing she could do about it.

"Sigh!"

Rhea shook her head in resignation, while on the other side, Hestia had already left the underworld.

"The Earthly Realm, huh!"

Hestia once again arrived on Earth, leaving the Palace of the Underworld.

From today!

The underworld had connected its entrance to the Palace of the Underworld, meaning that all underworld gods needed to pass through the palace to leave the underworld. This was now a rule.

"However," Hestia mused as she observed the surrounding area of the Palace of the Underworld, where a massive city was gradually taking shape, "Sparta's construction speed is impressive. At this rate, the city will be completed in no time."

Hestia sighed in admiration before continuing her journey, leaving the far north and heading to the location her mother had given her.

The Twelve Titans!

After the Titanomachy ended, they were all slain or sealed. Zeus personally sealed them in the deepest part of the underworld, where no god could reach.

The reason was simple!

Even Zeus could only enter with Tartarus's permission. Otherwise, ordinary gods had no chance of entering.

Or rather!

Only with Hades's permission and under his protection could one step into the depths of the underworld. Without it, it was utterly impossible.

However.

Among the Twelve Titans, Rhea's statue remained in the underworld. Although time had eroded it, leaving only a remnant, this was a testament to Rhea's unique status.

Besides her, there was another—a survivor of the Twelve Titans, the goddess of memory, Mnemosyne, who had allied with Zeus and was the only one still alive.

All ten other Titans, including Cronus, were dead and sealed in the underworld's deepest part. Even Rhea had succumbed to the passage of time, effectively dead.

Only the last one, Mnemosyne, who had sided with Zeus, survived, living quietly in the Earthly Realm.

This point is crucial!

Mnemosyne could only live in the Earthly Realm. As for other places?

Sorry!

In this new era, the Twelve Titans were rejected and forbidden by the Mythical World. Mnemosyne could only live here, under the protection of her mother.

However!

The location where Mnemosyne resided was known only to Zeus and theoretically to her mother. Other gods shouldn't be aware of it.

Yet now, in a valley filled with the chirping of birds and fragrant flowers, there stood a simple temple. This temple was where Mnemosyne had taken refuge.

"Hmm?"

Mnemosyne lifted her head slightly. She stood up and walked out of the temple, gazing into the distance, murmuring softly, "This aura? Hestia? She's here? But why…"

As the goddess of memory, Mnemosyne could theoretically see the memories of any god.

However!

This was only in theory. In reality, Mnemosyne couldn't see everything. She couldn't peer into the memories of gods above the God-King level, nor could she access sealed memories.

Most importantly, she dared not look into the memories of underworld gods, celestial gods, or sea gods. The reason was simple—her status was one that couldn't be exposed!

Given such a status, Mnemosyne didn't dare to casually pry into other gods' memories. If something went wrong, it would spell trouble.

For this reason, Mnemosyne found Hestia's visit both strange and unsettling.
