"That's enough for today!"
Shi Yu said, looking at the considerably dimmer Divine Sword. The contract had been signed two days ago, so there were no worries about living expenses for the time being. Thus, Shi Yu began to focus on absorbing divine power from the Divine Sword. Because she had accumulated a lot of manuscripts beforehand, Shi Yu could now concentrate on restoring her divine power, but…
"Here it comes again."
Hearing the 'familiar' sound, Shi Yu couldn't help but cover her aching head. This sound had been occurring almost every time it was close to mealtime for the past two days, so Shi Yu knew who was responsible even without going out.
"Tohru, how many times have I told you not to use your dragon's breath to cook?"
"Eh! Yes!"
As soon as Utaha exited the room, she saw the smoking kitchen and that strange piece of meat—it was tail meat again! She didn't know why Tohru was so fixated on it; it was the same in the original story, always trying to get Kobayashi to eat it.
Did Tohru forget that if an ordinary person ate dragon meat, the immense energy would cause them to explode? It was fortunate that Kobayashi had a strong will and didn't eat suspicious food; otherwise, Kobayashi would have long since met Hades.
"It's your tail meat again. I'll pass."
Although her body could handle it, Utaha still didn't eat the strangely colored meat.
"How can you say that? It took me a lot of time to detoxify it!"
Utaha ignored Tohru's complaints. Suddenly, she stopped, seeing Tohru use magic to instantly restore the completely ruined kitchen. A possibility struck Utaha.
"Tohru."
"Yes! Do you have any commands, Utaha-sama?"
"Is your magic innate or learned?"
"It's innate. When we dragons are born, we eat our eggshells, and the inherited magic on the eggshell activates. We gain our parents' magic inheritance, and we can use it once we have enough magic power. That's why other races can't learn our magic. Why are you suddenly asking about this, Utaha-sama?"
"It's nothing. Lunch is up to you. Let's go shopping together this afternoon!"
"Really? That's great, a date with Utaha-sama."
Ignoring the excited Tohru, Utaha returned to her room, lost in thought. "Is it impossible to learn?" Utaha, feeling a bit amused, took out two containers from her earring space.
Inside were two somewhat terrifying eyeballs, kept active by green life-sustaining liquid. Anyone who liked anime would recognize these eyes; the pupils weren't sclera but red pentagram magic circles. These eyes were called 'Copy Eyes' and could analyze and learn any magic they saw.
"As expected of the core of the Main God's Space, it's unimaginably vast inside, and there's an abundance of items. The most important thing is that I don't have to do missions to exchange for them.
Considering you've helped me with such a big favor, Alaya, I forgive you for that XX thing you did to me, but I will never compromise on having your child!"
While Utaha was contemplating, she didn't notice that the weather outside suddenly changed. It looked like it was going to rain, which instantly made the happy Tohru's face fall. Suddenly, she had a good idea.
She instantly flew into the sky, transformed into her dragon form, and opened her mouth to blast dragon's breath. In less than ten seconds, the dark clouds in the sky were gone. However, this action was witnessed by a tiny figure hiding in the shadows.
"Found her!"
Judging by the voice, it was a very small girl, her voice soft and cute. But all of this had nothing to do with Tohru, who was currently being lectured by Utaha.
In another world, Hades silently watched her second sister, Poseidon. She hadn't expected her to be severely injured doing such a small task. Now, her entire head was wrapped up like a zongzi, only her blue eyes visible, making Hades frown.
Meeting this person was the biggest failure in her Hades's divine life.
"How did the task I gave you turn out?"
No longer paying attention to Poseidon's comical appearance, Hades closed her eyes to calm the urge to punch her twice. It was driving Hades crazy, while the three (gods) next to her had already started laughing heartily.
"It should be, almost, probably!"
Because of the severe bandaging, Poseidon's speech was a bit unclear, but her stammering suggested the task wasn't completed. At this thought, Hades's face instantly darkened.
How could such a simple thing not be completed? Wasn't it just finding a hidden place, putting a few barriers on herself, and starting to resonate with the sea? That way, no one would discover it; only Gaia herself appearing might reveal it.
Hades couldn't imagine that her simple-minded sister was openly causing a great flood while fighting Athena. She was truly a rare oddity in the divine realm.
"What else hasn't been cleaned up?"
Calming her anger, Hades asked.
"Athena's city of Athens hasn't been cleaned up yet. All other areas have been cleared."
Looking at Hades's visibly displeased face, Poseidon said cautiously.
"Alright! Let's leave it at that! Let's start the Second Generation Human Cultivation Plan!"
Hades, too lazy to argue with Poseidon, gave up the 'beautiful idea' of punching Poseidon and began to speak.
"This time, I'll go, Big Sister."
Demeter suppressed her laughter and walked up to Hades, saying.
"With your divine authority and some assistance, you should indeed be able to make humanity prosper instantly. By then, our worshipers can increase significantly. I'll leave it to you, Demeter."
Hades thought for a moment and agreed. In her opinion, among her Five Sisters, only Demeter's intelligence could rival her own. The Second Generation Human Cultivation Plan required someone meticulous and intelligent.
Hestia, that muddled one, was out. Poseidon was the first to be dismissed. As for Hera, she wasn't meticulous either, and Hera was quite impulsive, so she was also out.
Finally, only Demeter remained. Her divine authority and intelligence were sufficient, and her thoughts were very thorough. She should be able to deceive Athena and Gaia.
Only this sister, whose combat power wasn't high, could act under their noses.
"Everything for Zeus, I will do my best."
Demeter said with a smile. As expected of a goddess who held divine authority similar to Gaia, her gentle temperament made people involuntarily trust this understanding Big Sister.
"By the way, the statue was stolen. Do we need to make another one?"
Hestia, who had been ignored for a long time, said a little confusedly. She wasn't good at these crooked methods; she preferred more straightforward approaches. Unfortunately, they were too weak to fight for their own happiness.
"No, if it's stolen this time, it will be stolen again next time. Moreover, the statue appearing repeatedly is like reminding the enemy where the fruit of victory is.
If it happens again, the other party will probably observe what we are doing! Then, they will seize our success."
Hades said, denying it. She was very uneasy now, hoping the other party hadn't discovered her true intentions, otherwise, Zeus would be in danger.
"Then, let the Second Generation Human Plan begin! Poseidon, go recover from your injuries! I will notify you when your combat power is needed."
After making this announcement, Hades, still worried about her thoughtless second sister, gave her some instructions. Then, she sent her four sisters away.
