Xin admitted it: "As expected of God Hephaestus, he can predict things like a god."
"It goes without saying that it's a compliment."
Hephaestus waved his hands: "In front of you, I have no status advantage."
Because of being invited as foreign aid.
Tsubaki, who also experienced the fairy clone incident, told Hephaestus everything after returning.
Naturally, she came to a judgment similar to Loki's.
The opponent is only one step away from the gods.
"Being able to grow to this stage in such a short period of time, you can be regarded as letting me see the possibility of children from the lower world."
"Just treat it as an early investment, and if you need any help from me, just say it."
"As long as it's not too much, I can agree."
"You're more eloquent than | thought."
Glancing at Hestia beside him, Xin, who was still thinking of breaking the relationship, went straight to the topic.
"In fact, I've recently wanted to build a growable weapon that fits itself perfectly."
"But due to certain technical limitations, I would like to ask you for advice."
"Are you looking for me to learn forging skills?"
As if thinking of something, Hephaestus looked at Xin thoughtfully.
"I have relatively little time, so I can't teach you for too long."
"It's ok."
Xin 's face was full of confidence: "As long as you are willing to demonstrate it once, that's enough."
.....
The ninth floor of the man-made maze.
"Yo~ Isn't this Ishtar?"
Thanatos, who was tossing a ball with a hard-shelled mouse, stopped his movements and greeted the goddess who was walking towards him.
"Why are you here suddenly?"
"Just asking about your progress."
Ishtar glanced at the armored rat hiding behind Thanatos.
"Tell me what you're doing."
"If I'm not mistaken, this guy is the monster you call a heretic."
"Why didn't close it properly, and suddenly released it."
"Well~ when you were not around, I also experienced a lot of weird things."
Thanatos shrugged: "The process is more complicated, and I can't explain it to you for a while."
"In short, the end result is that I was ordered to take care of these guys temporarily."
"Order?"
Ishtar grasped the key words precisely: "Who else would dare to treat you like this?"
"Well, it's a rather special child from the lower world."
Thanatos replied: "He said that if I don't cooperate, he will kill me directly."
"What?"
Ishtar looked at the other party dumbfounded: "So you agreed to come down?"
Thanatos touched his chin: "Although he sounds like a joke when he speaks, I always feel that he is serious."
Ishtar couldn't hold back anymore: "What the hell are you talking about? It's a mess."
"Is it hard to understand?"
