"Is it really okay to let him go just like that, my king?" Hypnos asked, looking up at the demon progenitor.
Hypnos and Thanatos stood to the side, below and in front of the thrones of the king and queen of the Greek Underworld.
Damian was seated upon the king's throne. Beside him stood two additional thrones, as two of his wives were present. He summoned another throne at his other side for Gaia and Demeter to sit upon, while Persephone was struggling to remain seated on Demeter's lap, her face flushed a deep red with embarrassment.
Damian let Hades go, but not before taking away a massive portion of his divinity. In an instant, Hades fell from a god-king level deity to a low-level god, no, even weaker than that. The only things he had left were his life and a tiny fragment of divinity, not even enough to truly call himself a god. For Hades, it would take years just to be considered an actual god again, and several more years beyond that to regain any meaningful power.
