Japanese Pantheon · Mythical Great World!
Yellow Springs!
As the Crystal Wall Gate opened, two figures emerged from it.
It was Yama and Eris.
"This place..."
Yama looked at her surroundings and whispered softly, "Is this the new Mythical Great World?"
Eris nodded lightly and replied, "Princess, this is the Japanese Pantheon · Mythical Great World. This mythical world is encased in the Yellow Springs and Astral Realm. Because of this, there is no realm here that represents the Nether."
"Understood!"
Yama nodded knowingly and then quietly closed her eyes, seemingly sensing something.
Eris said no more. She simply stood silently, guarding the area. That was enough.
Eris trusted that her little princess knew what to do and how to proceed. At this moment, all she needed to do was wait patiently. Trusting her princess was all that mattered.
Soon enough, Yama slowly opened her eyes and murmured softly, "This mythical world is, in fact, welcoming my arrival. However, what it doesn't realize is that my arrival is not a blessing for it. Quite the contrary, it's a curse."
A faint smile curled at the corners of Yama's lips, and her gaze flickered with a unique light.
At this moment, everything seemed to be settled.
Indeed.
The Japanese Pantheon · Mythical Great World welcomed Yama's arrival, eagerly anticipating it. It seemed as though the world had been waiting for her, believing her presence would bring forth a realm representing the Nether. This would complete the entire Mythical Great World, an incredibly significant event.
But the problem lay in the fact that...
This Mythical Great World, driven purely by instinct and devoid of consciousness, didn't understand that Yama's arrival was far from beneficial. Instead, it posed a huge threat.
This was an undeniable truth.
"Princess," Eris spoke softly. "Shall we return to the Netherworld now?"
Eris knew what she should do.
At this moment, the initial investigation was complete. Logically speaking, it was time to head back. After all, the purpose of this mission had been fulfilled.
This was the primary goal.
As for whether to continue further... Eris felt it would be wiser to wait.
After all, regardless of the situation, there were many aspects she shouldn't overstep. If she were to act impulsively, it would truly be crossing a line.
Moreover, Eris had no intention of crossing that line. It was unnecessary and meaningless.
In Eris's view, since the initial exploration was complete, the next step should be to advance steadily and prepare everything. Once the realm representing the Nether was fully established in this Mythical Great World, the Netherworld would firmly root itself here, transforming this world into a fallback base.
That would undoubtedly be a good thing.
"No."
Listening to Eris's words, Yama shook her head and said, "Eris, I'm afraid we can't return, discuss, and then revisit this Mythical Great World to handle its matters."
"This..."
Eris immediately became alert, her expression grave. "Princess, does this mean there's been a change? Has the Creator God of this world noticed us?"
Eris's demeanor turned serious in an instant. If they had been noticed, she was prepared to sacrifice herself to ensure the princess remained unharmed.
"That's not it."
Yama shook her head at Eris's question and said softly, "Rather, this Mythical Great World is currently evolving. Based on the timeline, if we do not intervene, within a hundred years at most—though the exact timeframe is uncertain—this world will naturally give rise to a realm representing the Nether, which would be Hell, truly coming into existence."
"This..."
Eris had not anticipated such a scenario. Thankfully, they had arrived in this Mythical Great World at the right time. Had they been any later, once the world naturally birthed this realm, their preparations in the Netherworld would have been meaningless. In fact, at that point, there would have been no benefits to reap at all.
Just imagining such a possibility...
Eris's expression grew even more solemn.
Yama spoke softly, "For this reason, we cannot leave now. We must prepare to continue forward."
"Prepare to continue forward?"
"Precisely!"
When Eris inquired further, Yama nodded and said, "I will create a brand-new Hell and become the true King of Hell. Only then can we resolve this issue. Otherwise, wasting time will lead to even greater problems."
"I understand."
Eris nodded respectfully and stepped aside, releasing her divine power to assist her princess.
Decisiveness was key!
Time was of the essence now. Naturally, Eris understood there was no time to return to the Netherworld and revisit the matter. The best course of action was to address everything here and now.
This was the most critical task. For this reason, Eris knew she had to fully support her princess and stay by her side.
As for anything else...
It was insignificant.
Eris understood that her ruler would likely make the same choice. Knowing what needed to be done at the right moment and acting accordingly was essential.
After all, plans were ultimately just plans. They were not immutable and could be adjusted as necessary. Plans were not set in stone.
Thus, plans required flexibility. If changes arose, rigidly adhering to the original plan would lead to failure. Handling matters carefully and thoughtfully was paramount, ensuring no oversight or complacency.
"Hu~~~"
Yama sensed Eris's actions and exhaled deeply. Her expression turned serious.
For this reason, Yama understood that her next steps were crucial. This was her responsibility. Eris was merely there to assist; nothing more could be done.
In fact...
If Eris were not the Netherworld's deity of death, she might not even have been able to assist Yama.
"Father..."
"Mother..."
Yama took a deep breath, her focus sharpening. She extended her hands, and an immense surge of divine power erupted from her body. This boundless divine power proved Yama's extraordinary might.
Even among God-Kings, Yama stood at the pinnacle, far from being a weak God-King.
This was the divine power born from Yama as the child of Hades and Persephone. Her divine essence was incredibly formidable, an unparalleled force that few could rival.
For this reason, all Yama needed to do was steadily grow. Beyond that?
Nothing else mattered. Once she reached adulthood, she would naturally become a God-King, not just any God-King, but one of immense strength. With diligent cultivation, she would eventually ascend to the ranks of the Ancient Gods.
Hehehe~~~
Indeed.
This was Yama's essence. Just thinking about it revealed how terrifying she truly was.
This was an undeniable fact.
After all...
Hades and Persephone had sacrificed over half of their own divine essence to bring Yama into existence. How could she possibly be weak? To ordinary gods, such favoritism might seem unfair.
But really...
Among the gods, where was fairness ever found? This was simply the reality of their existence.
This was undeniable.
Such was the nature of gods.
Fairness?
Justice?
Don't be ridiculous! Gods were beings ruled by survival of the fittest and reverence for the strong. Expecting fairness and justice from them was laughable. Clearly, a little thought would reveal the problems inherent in such an idea.
This was something every god understood.
Now...
The divine power Yama unleashed was proof that she was far from being a mere decorative figure. She was a true top-tier God-King. The sheer magnitude of her divine power even made Eris feel immense pressure.
After all...
As an assistant, Eris's role could be compromised if her princess's power became too overwhelming.
That said...
For someone like Eris, this wasn't too concerning. She was a seasoned God-King herself. If she couldn't handle this, it would indeed be disgraceful.
"Hu~~~"
Eris exhaled lightly and thought to herself, "Princess, you're truly remarkable. Without realizing it, you've grown to this level."
Eris's gaze softened with nostalgia.
She remembered the first time she had met her little princess—a small, delicate child, obedient and lovely, like a porcelain doll.
Now...
In what felt like the blink of an eye, standing before her was a majestic and graceful figure, tall and commanding.
Yes.
Unknowingly, her little princess had grown into such an outstanding individual.
"Hehehe~~~"
Eris smiled faintly and thought, "Your Highness, all you need to do is move forward. No matter what you choose, we will always follow you!"
Eris's divine power surged around her, resonating with her princess, releasing even more fearsome energy.
Clearly...
Eris was fully prepared. No matter what happened, she would not let her princess down. She would handle everything with care and precision, ensuring all was in order.
Meanwhile, Yama continued channeling her divine power, gradually connecting with the Yellow Springs.
Indeed.
In this Mythical Great World, creating a realm to represent the Nether required the Yellow Springs. This was an absolute necessity. The divine power of the Yellow Springs was highly unique.
For Yama,
using this power as a catalyst was essential.
It wasn't that Yama couldn't create the realm without the Yellow Springs.
But...
In this Mythical Great World, without the Yellow Springs' divine power as a foundation, failure was inevitable.
For this reason, Yama had to be meticulous and leave no room for error.
"Next..."
Yama, sensing the strands of divine power from the Yellow Springs being drawn forth by her, recalled her father's words:
"Become the true King of Hell!"
Yama's divine title was King of Hell, much like Hades was King of the Underworld. In essence, these were equivalent divine roles. However, Yama had never truly embodied the full authority of the King of Hell!
