Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

However, it seems that Her Majesty the Queen dislikes this god of fire, or rather, she dislikes all the gods in this world.

“I’ll stay in the Underworld!” Sylvanas said.

Rhodes nodded upon hearing this. Since the Queen didn't want to go, he could go alone. Upgrading the equipment could be done after he brought him back to Azeroth.

That's right, Rhode doesn't intend to use Vulcan as a tool even once; he wants him to be a tool for life. Of all the Greek gods, Rhode believes Vulcan is the only truly talented one.

After sending Sylvanas to the palace of the underworld, Rhodes, carrying the Holy Sword of Olympus and the rare metals he had prepared, passed through the Gate of Hyperion and arrived at the place where Hephaestus, the god of fire, was imprisoned—a huge lava cave.

Vulcan is a giant tens of meters tall. His appearance is extremely ugly, he is lame in one leg, and he has a problem with one eye.

"Who are you? How did you manage to pass through the Gate of Hyperion? Are you a god? What are you doing here?" Hephaestus, the god of fire, asked Rhodes.

The aura emanating from this god was very strong, even comparable to that of his father Zeus. However, he could not sense any divine power or divine essence from the god. It was very strange!

"Let me introduce myself. I am not a god of your Greek people. I come from another world, belonging to another wondrous deity. I have come to your world to find the best craftsmen here to forge weapons for me," Rhodes said.

“Oh! Just like Tyr, the god of war who visited our world a few years ago? I can tell you are indeed from another pantheon. If you want me to forge weapons, you should go see Zeus first,” Hephaestus, the god of fire, said, fiddling with his forging table.

"Your Mount Olympus is now suffering an unprecedented calamity. I possess some prophetic abilities, so I am quite certain that the rule of your Olympian gods is coming to an end."

"Don't you ever consider finding yourself a new ally? Perhaps my pantheon would be willing to accept you; I am also a god-king level being," Rhodes said.

"You want to recruit me and make me one of your people?"

“That’s right. I know some things about you. Your daughter Pandora has been imprisoned by Zeus. I can rescue your daughter.”

"And if you'd like, I can bring your beloved wife back to you," Rod said.

When Kratos first emerged from the palace of Aphrodite, Hephaestus, the god of fire, thought his wife had returned to him! But instead, he saw Kratos.

It's easy to see that this Vulcan still harbored feelings for his lover, Aphrodite's wife. (The most bizarre thing is that after Kratos killed Vulcan and controlled him to return to Aphrodite's palace, he could even play games with Aphrodite. Holy crap, that's practically killing his spirit!)

“You can rescue Pandora? Impossible. Pandora is already imprisoned. As for Cupid, my appearance will not change his mind,” said Hephaestus, the god of fire.

If his wife were willing to pay attention to him, he wouldn't have placed his distorted affection on his daughter Pandora.

“I’ll go up and talk to your wife, Cupid, myself in a bit. Trust me, I can make him change his mind,” Rhodes said.

"Hmph! How would I know if you're just another one who's after my wife's beauty?" Hephaestus, the god of fire, said with a disdainful look.

The god before them was extremely handsome, tall and robust, and exuded a powerful life force.

Based on her understanding of Cupid, Aphrodite would immediately make her move upon seeing the other person.

“To be honest, I’m not that interested in buses,” Rod said.

That time with the Red Dragon Queen was already an exception! As for the Goddess of Love, forget it! Rhodes doesn't want to mess with this Greek public bus; riding on her occasionally is fine.

"Really? Then how do you plan to get her to accept me again?" Hephaestus, the god of fire, asked.

"This is my business. You don't need to worry about it. Just agree to my conditions."

"Come with me to the country where I reside, and become my personal craftsman. I will rescue your wife and your daughter," Rhodes said.

"Can I trust you?"

“You can trust me, I can do all of this, and you can take a look at the top-quality materials I brought you first!” After saying that, Rhodes took out the three rare metals he had prepared, as well as the Holy Sword of Olympus.

Upon seeing the three rare and magical materials, Hephaestus, the god of fire, had an eye-opener. With his discerning eye, he could naturally tell that these three materials were top-tier materials for forging divine artifacts.

Moreover, as a top-notch craftsman, he was also itching to forge weapons after seeing good materials.

These materials can be used to forge incredibly powerful artifacts, but when Vulcan saw the Holy Sword of Olympus, he immediately lost his composure.

Why is this divine sword in the hands of this foreign god? This divine sword was previously kept by his father, and then it fell into Kratos's hands.

But Kratos was previously defeated and banished from Mount Olympus, meaning that at that time, this foreign god obtained the Olympian sword!

"You actually came to me with the Sword of Olympus? It seems you're really sure my father Zeus is not going to live," said Hephaestus, the god of fire.

“That’s right, Zeus is doomed this time, and I won’t even need to lift a finger,” Rhodes said.

“You expect Kratos to kill him? Impossible. That Spartan can’t do it. As long as the Olympian fire doesn’t go out, he can’t do it,” Hephaestus said, shaking his head.

As long as the sacred flame of Olympus remains burning on Mount Olympus, Zeus will be invincible.

“Trust me, I have a way to extinguish the Olympian flame,” Rhodes said.

"No, no, you mustn't touch her, you mustn't even think about making a move on her!" Hephaestus, the god of fire, seemed to realize something immediately and roared at Rhodes.

There was only one way to extinguish the Olympian flame: to sacrifice his beloved daughter, Pandora.

“I can assure you that I have a way to extinguish your Olympian flame without sacrificing your daughter,” Rhodes said.

My Homite creations can also extinguish the Olympian flame, and they absorb it directly.

Hearing this, Vulcan and Pistos's emotions calmed down.

“I want you to help me reforge the Holy Sword of Olympus, and to incorporate these three special metals into it,” Rhodes said.

“If you want to reforge this divine sword, it’s impossible for it to be melted by any flame. The flames here won’t work either. At most, I can use the three metals you brought to forge weapons,” said Hephaestus, the god of fire.

If Zeus could melt this holy sword, he would have had it reforged long ago, since his forging techniques could have further enhanced its power.

"Don't worry about it! You don't need to worry about melting this holy sword. I have my own way of melting it. You just need to forge it," Rhodes said.

"So what specific plans do you have?" Hephaestus, the god of fire, asked.

To be honest, he really didn't want to work for Zeus anymore.

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Rod's lips.

Chapter 367 Reforging the Holy Sword: Sunfire, Creation Thunder, Orichalcos

Just as he had expected, there were practically no gods on Mount Olympus willing to work for Zeus.

“I need you and me to put on a show. Soon, Kratos will come to you, and all you have to do is say this to him,” Rhodes said.

Rod is planning to give that bald guy a good scare this time, to teach that bald guy a lesson for lying to him. I hold grudges.

“Understood, let’s begin reforging the Holy Sword now!” Hephaestus, the god of fire, said with a knowing expression.

Rhodes smiled and nodded, then entered his private space and released Helios, who was serving as the sun.

This planet cannot survive without the sun's rays for too long, but if the sun is away for a few hours, it will not cause any problems for the planet, since some areas also experience night.

“Great master, is there anything you need me to do?” Helios asked.

For the past few months, he has been acting as the sun, and he has done a very good job. During his time as the sun, he shines on the earth every day, bringing the source of life to all things, which has given him a completely new understanding. His entire soul and power are undergoing a qualitative change and sublimation.

However, it will take a very long time to fully complete the transformation, and he is well aware of this. In order not to disappoint his master, he has been working hard.

“Helios! I have good news for you. Soon, a sun god will fall, and I will give you his divine essence, his body, and the sun chariot he drives. Then you can become a true sun god,” Rhodes said.

Besides absorbing the sacred fire of Olympus, Helios, the sun god of this world, is also one of Rhodes' targets. Rhodes plans to have his sun Homies absorb Helios' power.

After all, they share the same name. They chose this name to seize the power of the Sun God, the Sun God of the God of War world.

In terms of prestige and strength, it is far inferior to some sun gods in other worlds, but it is the most suitable for itself and Miz's creation.

"Thank you so much, my great master. You have always thought of me. I will not let you down. I will become your sun god, shining upon the earth and all things, and burning all your enemies to ashes," Helios said with a determined expression.

Hephaestus, the god of fire, stared at the enormous humanoid sun before him, his mouth agape.

The power emanating from the other party was indeed the very essence of the sun. It was in no way inferior. How much weaker was the sun god here? And the two of them even seemed to have the exact same name!

(To make it easier for readers to distinguish, one Helios is the sun, a creation of the protagonist's Homies, while the other is the sun god in the world of God of War.)

It seems this person is indeed a powerful god-king, capable of commanding the sun god's loyalty; how could he be ordinary?

"Alright! Helios, I now need you to melt the blue greatsword in front of you. Can you do that?" Rhodes said, pointing to the Holy Sword of Olympus in his hand.

“No problem, Master, leave it to me! I will melt it with the most powerful flames,” Helios said.

Melting a sword is nothing to him. It's extremely easy. After all, he can melt powerful Uru steel and super Titan iron. He possesses the flames of a neutron star, plus the Eternal Flame.

Hephaestus brought a huge container, and Rhodes put the Olympian sword and the other three metals into it. Helios also transformed into a reddish-white fireball and entered the container to begin melting them.

The scorching heat appeared, and the metal inside the furnace began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye. The temperature that Helios could generate far exceeded the imagination of Hephaestus, the god of fire.

This small sun didn't seem very powerful, but the intensity of its flames far exceeded my expectations!

These three materials can melt using their own flames, plus the power of the lava here, but definitely not as quickly as the other side.

The materials melted quickly, and the Olympus Sword, under the intense heat, finally showed signs of melting. The blade began to slowly turn into a liquid state, and a pale blue energy began to appear.

This was a thick pillar of lightning, seemingly possessing a life of its own.

"Don't let this power leave Lord Rhodes! This is the first lightning bolt generated at the beginning of time, the key to forging the Holy Sword of Olympus," Hephaestus, the god of fire, hurriedly said.

Rhodes nodded and used his own power to fix the lightning bolt in place. This lightning bolt was extremely violent and holy, possessing unimaginable power.

"This is lightning that was generated when heaven and earth were born. Why did Zeus get it?" Rhodes turned his head and asked.

If it was created at the beginning of time, then it should have been the primordial deity who received it, such as Gaia and several other primordial deities.

If it were Gaia, since a battle had already taken place back then, she probably wouldn't have given the primordial lightning to Zeus.

"It's a long story. Back then, Gaia and the first god-king Uranus were at odds, and Gaia then instigated his youngest son to castrate his father."

But the first generation of gods did not die; instead, he returned to the sky when Zeus rebelled against his father.

His grandfather, Uranus, the god of the sky, also helped Zeus, and it was Uranus who provided the primordial lightning. "Hephaestus, the god of fire, revealed a secret story.

In the beginning, Gaia raised Zeus, originally just wanting to discipline her youngest son.

But unexpectedly, under the instigation of her first husband, the god Uranus, Zeus gradually turned his attention to the entire Titan race.

Although Uranus was born from Gaia, he was also a creator god, possessing divine power that was in no way inferior to Gaia's, and perhaps even slightly stronger.

It was because of the birth of heaven and earth that this world came into being. Uranus, as the sky, naturally possessed the first lightning bolt.

Rhodes nodded, said nothing more, and used his power to freeze the primordial lightning.

After a while, the entire Sword of Olympus melted, and four special metals intertwined together.

"Very good, very good, that's it! This time I'm going to forge a divine weapon that will make the heavens and earth pale in comparison." Hephaestus, the god of fire, took out his hammer and said excitedly.

Rhodes couldn't help with forging divine artifacts; that was entirely up to Hephaestus, the god of fire.

After completing his work, Helios was sent back to his private space by Rhodes to continue serving as the sun, waiting to devour the sacred fire of Olympus and the sun god.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of hammering echoed throughout the cave as Hephaestus, the god of fire, forged a brand-new model of the Olympian sword.
