Ch. 109: Back In The Underworld

Back in the Underworld, the portal before me shimmered with a swirling ring of golden light, its energy crackling softly like distant thunder. The massive circle was eerily reminiscent of the temporal rift generator— no doubt Hephaestus had perfectly imitated its design. Inside the portal, the familiar sight of my room appeared, a place I hadn't set foot in for a long time. It wasn't an illusion, but a direct manifestation, tethered by the intricate weave of space and time.

I marveled at how Hermes had achieved this with just a tap of his finger, when it had taken Hephestus centuries to learn how to replicate such powers. The thought brought a wry smile to my lips.

"About the, you know, alliance thing— we'll be in touch, right?" Aphrodite's voice broke my reverie just as I was about to step through the portal.
