Poseidon, carrying an excited heart, readily agreed and drove a divine seal resembling a crown into the back of the guarantor's hand.
As a subtle connection ford between them due to the oath, the previously timid Sea King suddenly burst forth with boundless courage, grabbing the Trident and storming out with a fierce deanor.
"Zeus, don't push people too far!"
"They say the affairs of the sea are none of my business, yet you three co again? I'm fighting back against you all!"
Imdiately after, tumultuous waves surged on the sea surface, divine aura stirred, and the King of the Sea, holding the Trident, charged at the three Hundred-Handed Giants with a face filled with grief and anger; the battle began, and the newly constructed Sea God Temple was once again affected and turned into a mournful ruin.
Poseidon's heart was bleeding, with new grievances adding to old ones. His grasp on the Trident tightened as he greeted the three Hundred-Handed Giants more forcefully.
anwhile, Luo En, who took advantage of the chaos to slip a hundred miles away, held Thetis and amusingly comnted on the grand divine battle in the distance.
Not bad, Lord Bo is quite capable on his ho turf.
The three Hundred-Handed Giants were not using their full strength, it seed Zeus was rely suspicious, without any substantial evidence.
But by his side, Thetis couldn't laugh, her eyes full of worry as she looked towards Luo En.
"You've provoked them all, what will you do now?"
"The more fleas, the less itchy, the more debts, the less worry."
Luo En casually waved his hand, then looked aningfully at the Trident seal on the back of his hand and spoke teasingly.
"When borrowing, it was seeking him; when it cos to collecting the debt, perhaps he will be seeking ."
Thetis didn't grasp his aning, just gazing at the man before her who had risked death for her, even staking his own future, feeling a wave of regret.
"If I knew things would turn out like this, I would never have let you co."
"It wasn't you who let co, I ca voluntarily; no one forced ."
Luo En smiled casually, his face serene.
Thetis nodded slightly, her gaze towards him completely softened.
Luo En glanced at the mariti divine battle, still with no clear winner, and breathed a slight sigh of relief, "Zeus hasn't intervened, it looks like he hasn't paid attention to the Sea of Okeanos, this ti it's just a pretext to put on so pressure, with Poseidon backing Pelius, there's temporarily no problem."
Thetis's eyes still clouded with hidden worries, "So, the real trouble is yet to co?"
Luo En nodded, admiringly looked towards the keen Thetis and instructed gravely.
"You go to the forge at Mount Etna, have a word with Hephaestus, and let that God of Craftsmanship do a few favors."
"Sure!" Thetis nodded in response, then looked towards the man before her, "And what about you?"
"To the Netherworld." Luo En looked down towards the dark depths of the sea and spoke out his purpose in a low voice, "...to borrow debt!"
Thetis looked puzzled at Luo En.
"Just now on the way out from the Sea God Temple, I thought of an interesting question," Luo En said, a playful smile forming on his face, "When you borrow from one or two people, on the repaynt day, the other party can't wait for you to be finished, to liquidate assets and recoup losses. But what happens when the money you owe is enough, and the number of creditors is large enough?"
Thetis thought hard for a mont, ultimately shaking her head helplessly.
Luo En's eyes twinkled, revealing an answer that Thetis hadn't anticipated.
"They can't wait for you to live well."
"?"
"Because if you die, not only the accounts can't be settled, but the entire ga can't go on either, and everyone might face bankruptcy!"
Luo En explained profoundly, then concluded in a somber tone.
"So, when you owe everyone, that ans everyone also owes you."
After leaving this counter-intuitive answer, Luo En bid farewell to Thetis, and with a leap, he dived towards the Gates of the Underworld located in the deep sea.
The transaction with Poseidon had an additional condition, granting him free access to the Gates of the Underworld fashioned by the Sea King himself.
The Trident mark and the Mark of the Dead were enough to let him move in and out of the Netherworld freely.
Next, he needed to make so preparations to et the real crisis head-on.
