"As for the losses in the Underworld, I will compensate—"
Just as he was about to make a promise, the Divine King saw the servant beside him step forward.
"Your Majesty, we don't have enough Divine Metal to repair the palace of the Underworld."
Whispering, the servant hurriedly explained the seriousness of the issue.
"The remaining ones are needed for repairing the temples of Olympus. If you promise them away, the palace of Mount of the Gods will have to make do with mortal materials for the time being."
"..."
Feeling speechless, Zeus suddenly remembered that, due to his poor relationship with Gaia, he wasn't in charge of the minerals on the surface.
Hades had always obeyed orders but not commands, so the minerals deep underground were not his either.
Even the minerals traditionally used to repair the temples mostly came from Hades, out of consideration for his elder sister Hestia.
