Seeing such a situation arise during his first deification, Shen Mu naturally couldn't stand idly by.
He also wanted to know why Zod appeared in Hell.
Immediately, he directly unfolded his vast consciousness and began to retrace and observe. A moment later, Shen Mu already knew the reason, but his expression was somewhat unusual!
It turned out that the place Zod initially went to was not Hell, but the Underworld controlled by Hades, because the Kryptonian Phantom Zone was in the same dimension as the Underworld.
Zod, who was exiled, accidentally stumbled into the territory of Hades, the God of Death of the Greek Pantheon, and was naturally detained.
However, for some unknown reason, a mere Zod actually aroused the interest of Lucifer, the Lord of Hell.
Faced with Lucifer's request, Hades didn't even dare to breathe heavily, and immediately respectfully offered Zod, so Zod ended up in Hell again.
"Is this deliberately guiding me to Hell?"
Shen Mu saw the problem at a glance.
According to common sense, an existence of Lucifer's caliber, unless he allowed it, it would be almost impossible to read any information left by him.
However, at this moment, Shen Mu clearly saw the beginning and end of the matter.
More importantly, this event happened before he started creating gods, and even before he killed Rao.
If it wasn't a coincidence, then it could only mean that long ago, Lucifer had already foreseen everything that was happening now.
In other words, everything Shen Mu was doing now was actually foreseen by him!
And now, he deliberately left these easily visible pieces of information, seemingly to guide Shen Mu to Hell.
"A bit interesting. I wonder what he's up to."
"However, since you've extended an invitation, wouldn't it be impolite if I didn't go!"
Shen Mu didn't have too many worries about this.
Because for an existence like Lucifer, among those currently walking the world, perhaps only Death of the Endless Family could pose a threat to him, and not even destiny!
After all, he was an existence who had torn up the book of destiny right in front of everyone.
Although Shen Mu was now considered a top-tier powerhouse below the Unique God, if Lucifer truly harbored ill intentions towards him and wanted to deal with him, there would be no need to specifically lure him to Hell.
He was called the Lord of Hell, which didn't mean his influence was only that great in Hell!
While Shen Mu was deep in thought, Zod's promotion was also completed!
Although he directly entered the Multiverse, he was not a perfect Unique God. If he didn't reclaim that missing piece, then he would be no different from ordinary Multiversal Gods.
"Lord God, Zod has failed your expectations!"
At this moment, Zod, who should have been happy about being promoted to a Multiversal God, had a face full of shame.
When he received the infusion of source and divine power, he had already felt the arrangements Shen Mu had made for his promotion, that he would become the new face of Kryptonian was not just talk, but he didn't expect the current result to be like this.
Without being a Unique God, he would merely be one among the masses in the Domain of the Gods.
In terms of combat power, a Unique God was not necessarily superior to an ordinary Multiversal God, but a Unique God was more like a qualification, a qualification to glimpse beyond the Multiverse.
According to common sense, these Multiversal Gods in the Domain of the Gods should all be trying their best to promote themselves to Unique God.
However, in reality, the difficulty involved was considerable.
First, the source required for promotion to Unique God was the first difficulty. It was already difficult to obtain source now, because this was no longer the era of ancient gods' chaotic wars in the Second Epoch!
Moreover, it was almost impossible for Multiversal Gods to kill each other with overwhelming power, let alone obtain a complete source!
The second difficulty was like Zod's current situation, with external interference.
Although not every one of them could be targeted by an existence like Lucifer, even interference from ordinary Multiversal Gods was a huge trouble, after all, in the long years, who could remain unscathed and have no enemies?
Even someone like Shen Mu, who kept killing, would still have fearless scoundrels jumping out to cause trouble.
"Zod, this matter is not your fault. It's just that a great existence wants to talk to me, and you merely became an invitation from him through circumstance!"
Shen Mu didn't hide anything and directly explained the reason.
"This, Lord God, who exactly is he, and will he be unfavorable to you?"
When Zod heard the words "great existence" from Shen Mu's mouth, his heart churned violently.
In his heart, Shen Mu was the most powerful God, but for someone to be described by Shen Mu as a "great existence," how powerful must that God be?
"No matter, if he had ill intentions towards me, he wouldn't have waited until now. You don't need to worry, I said you would become the new face of Kryptonian, that is beyond doubt."
Shen Mu waved his hand at Zod, signaling him to step aside, as the deification was not yet over.
"Fiora!"
Hearing her name called, this Kryptonian warrior, who had always been Zod's adjutant, was somewhat incredulous.
"Lord God!"
However, in just an instant, she reacted, her expression fervent but respectfully performed the most solemn etiquette towards Shen Mu.
"You, like Zod, are warriors born to protect Kryptonian. Therefore, I bestow upon you the divine authority of protection and vengeance."
After saying that, Shen Mu once again differentiated a divine authority of the God of Protection and Vengeance within his Pantheon, and at the same time, with immense divine power, inscribed Fiora's name and divine authority onto the foundation of the Multiverse.
Subsequently, he poured all the source that Quantum Superman had seized after killing the Moon God and Beauty God into Fiora's body, and a storm of divine power swept over once again.
"Mad, mad, that Kryptonian God is truly mad. He failed to create that Unique God earlier, is he going to try again now?"
"How can he have so much source in his hands?"
"Alas! Are there still few Multiversal Gods who have died by his hand? I dare say he hasn't run out of source yet."
The Gods who were still watching the excitement were secretly laughing at Zod's failed promotion to Unique God, but the next moment, the same promotion fluctuation came again.
And this time, Fiora's promotion was smooth sailing, without any hindrance, directly entering the Multiverse, and perfectly unifying all her timelines into one, achieving Unique God status.
At this moment, the Gods in the Domain of the Gods fell silent!
They didn't expect that after one failure, Shen Mu would succeed so smoothly this time!
However, it wasn't over yet.
"Metron!"
Shen Mu spoke again, this time addressing the God of Knowledge whose prestige outweighed his actual power.
"Lord God!"
Metron uneasily got down from his chair and saluted Shen Mu.
"You were originally a New God, but now I want to formally incorporate you into my Kryptonian Pantheon and make you the true God of Knowledge. Are you willing?"
Shen Mu asked him.
"I am willing."
Not hearing what he feared most, Metron breathed a sigh of relief, then agreed without any hesitation!
Shen Mu nodded with a reluctantly satisfied expression, then separated one-third of the vast source from Anti-Monitor and infused it into Metron's body.
Instantly, the promotion fluctuation swept through the Domain of the Gods again. New Gods were inherently unique, and Metron's title as the God of Knowledge was not small, so the sensation he caused was the greatest.
"No, why him, Metron!"
Immediately, some Gods broke down, especially those on New Genesis who had once wanted to crusade Metron.
