Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

Now, it's time to use this dog again, so the woman took the initiative to step forward.

Hephaestus was a truly pathetic fellow.

Seeing the pendant on the table, the woman in black was somewhat tempted and immediately asked, "I have no relationship with your master, so I don't think she intends to give me such a benefit for nothing."

"Tell me, what does she want?"

Adonis bowed slightly and said earnestly, "My master said that as long as the lady helps my master once after she is freed, that will suffice."

Finally, he added one more sentence.

"It's just a simple little thing, I won't put the lady in a difficult position!"

"A small matter?"

The woman in the black veil did not believe it.

Aphrodite was no ordinary woman; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to manipulate the goddess of craftsmanship so easily.

However, for the sake of her own plans, she still chose to accept the pendant that Adonis had given her.

Seeing this, Adonis smiled and said, "Since the lady has accepted the gift, then we wish her a speedy recovery and the restoration of her freedom!"

"I hope so!" The woman in the black veil nodded.

Afterwards, the two gods chatted for a while before Adonis said goodbye and left.

Seeing that the Spring Welcoming Envoy had completely disappeared into the garden, the woman in black took out the pendant, pushed it in front of Wuxin, and said, "Alright, now you don't need to search the whole world for that woman Aphrodite anymore!"

"With this pendant in hand, you should be fine, right?"

As she spoke, she cast a questioning look at Wuxin.

"It should be fine! Hephaestus, the god of crafts, is absolutely obsessed with her!" Wuxin sighed.

"Then, everything is in your hands! Don't let me down!" The woman in black veil waved her hand, instantly opening a dimensional portal in front of her.

Yes, ma'am!

Putting away the pendant, Wu Xin immediately stepped into the dimensional portal.

Upon closer inspection, he had left the Rain Garden and arrived at a place teeming with venomous snakes.

"Looks like I'm in luck this time!" He nodded to himself as he recognized the hell he was in.

This is the Seventh Hell, the Seventh Trench of the Poisonous Serpents, which is adjacent to his destination, the Hell of Fire.

The air was filled with a foul, deathly stench, and the hissing of venomous snakes was incessant, like rain, sending chills down one's spine.

All those who commit theft must be punished here and experience the agony of being devoured by a thousand snakes.

Immediately, Wuxin found the right direction and strode forward, making his way quickly through the venomous snakes.

After traveling at breakneck speed for nearly half a day, he finally crossed the border of hell and arrived at the Eighth Barrier of Fiery Hell.

"We've finally arrived!"

Wu Xin then placed his right hand on the mark imprinted on the breastplate and silently infused it with his own cosmic power.

Immediately afterwards, as he poured his cosmic power into it, the previously hidden mark reappeared, releasing an increasingly bright and fiery red light.

When the light reached its peak brightness, Wu Xin suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, as if he had been grabbed by an invisible hand.

When he came to his senses, he had already left the border of hell and arrived at the place where the God of Crafts slumbered.

"Hey? Why are you back again?"

Upon discovering Wuxin's return, the underground craftsman god reopened its enormous eyes, curiously gazing at Wuxin through the layers of earth.

“We’re pretty lucky! I ran into someone who gave me something that I can exchange with you, sir, for the Blazing Soul Flame!” Wu Xin replied, feigning nonchalance.

"Something? What is it? It can actually be used to exchange for my Blazing Heartfire Seed?" Hephaestus found it somewhat unbelievable.

"that's it!"

Wu Xin carefully took out a fiery red pendant from his pocket, which seemed to be covered with a layer of leaping flames.

But in that instant, he felt the entire canyon suddenly fall silent, as if someone had pressed the time-stop button, and all sound had been lost.

Immediately afterwards, the astonished voice of the craftsman broke the silence.

"How could it be it?"

Why did it end up in your hands?

"Did you just see her?"

The Craftsman God was extremely excited and bombarded Wuxin with questions like a machine gun, leaving Wuxin no time to answer.

Chapter 98 Acquisition of the Fire Seed

Immediately afterwards, Wu Xin saw a beam of light emanating from the Craftsman God's enormous eye.

Then, the flames in the canyon quickly converged towards the beam of light, eventually condensing into a middle-aged man about two meters tall.

The man was of average appearance, even ugly, but Wu Xin dared not make any comment on him.

Because this is the true appearance of Hephaestus, the god of craftsmanship.

Give me the thing!

The master craftsman limped over and snatched the pendant into his own hands.

He examined it from left to right and right, and nodded again, saying, "This is it, this is it, the one I personally forged and gave to my wife back then!"

Tell me, why is this pendant in your possession?

Have you seen her?

The master craftsman asked again.

Faced with a question from a deity, Wuxin dared not be negligent and replied earnestly, "I have not seen the goddess in your heart, Your Excellency."

"I just happened to meet one of the goddess's messengers, whose name was Adonis."

"So it was that annoying guy!" The God of Crafts frowned slightly.

All the men who competed with him for Aphrodite's love were his enemies.

Adonis, especially the guy he hated the most.

Because Aphrodite had stated in public on more than one occasion that she was very fond of Adonis.

"What else did he say?" Hephaestus asked coldly.

Sensing that the master craftsman might be in a bad mood, Wu Xin cautiously said, "He also said that his master instructed us to use this pendant to exchange for a seed of the Blazing Heart Flame from you, sir."

"Is he sure he said that?" Hephaestus asked again, his tone carrying a hint of something unusual.

"Yes, that's what he said!" Wuxin nodded.

"What else did he say?" the craftsman continued to press, his eyes never leaving the pendant in his hand.

Wu Xin composed himself and slowly said, "He also said that his master has an important matter to attend to and it is not the right time to meet with you, sir."

Upon hearing this, Hippocrates, who had been wearing a cold expression, suddenly beamed with joy and exclaimed, "So, she hasn't forgotten me! She still cherishes me in her heart!"

"I will wait, she will eventually come back to me!"

At this point, he burst into laughter, and the terrifying sound waves spread out, causing rocks to tumble down from the surrounding cliffs, forming a landslide in the blink of an eye.

However, with just a flick of his hand, the collapsed mountain was instantly incinerated by a burst of scorching flames, turning into molten lava, which then floated down to the ground like clouds, merging with the underground lava.

"In that case, could Lord Hephaestus please grant us a spark of the Blazing Heart Flame?" Wu Xin asked cautiously, taking advantage of the God of Crafts's high spirits.

"no problem!"

The God of Craftsmanship didn't take it to heart and said, "Since it's her wish, giving you a mere spark is no big deal!"

As he spoke, he opened his mouth wide, and then his face turned very ugly, as if something was stuck in his throat.

"Cough-cough-"

Hephaestus coughed forcefully, as if using all his strength, before finally managing to spit out a fist-sized ball of light.

However, after spitting out that ball of light, the God of Crafts' face turned much paler, and his entire mental state became extremely weak.

"This is the fire you wanted! Take it!" Hephaestus held the ball of light in one hand and handed it to Wuxin.

Only then did Wuxin finally see clearly that there was a tiny flame inside the ball of light.

The flame was pale blue and looked very weak, like a candle flame, but since it came from the hand of a god, Wu Xin dared not underestimate it in the slightest.

He carefully reached out and took the ball of light into his hand.

However, the moment the ball of light touched his hand, it seemed as if it had no substance, and the flame sank into his palm along with it.

In the end, only a pale blue flame-shaped mark remained in his palm.

"This……"

He cast a surprised glance at the God of Crafts.

Hephaestus immediately explained, "Don't worry! The fire is only temporarily fused with you for easier storage!"

"Once you reach that lady, you only need to activate the mark again, and the flame will naturally materialize!"

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, sir!" Wuxin quickly expressed his gratitude.

"All right!"

The God of Craftsman raised his hand to interrupt, saying, "It's nothing, you can go now! I need to rest!"

The Blazing Soul Flame is his natal divine fire. Now that a portion of its flame has been separated, it has already damaged his vital energy, and he will need to rest for a long time to recover.

“Well then, we shall meet again, Lord Hephaestus!” Wu Xin nodded, showing no intention of lingering any longer.

Facing a deity directly is incredibly stressful; it's like a sheep sitting next to a tiger, making one truly uneasy.

"Go!"

Hephaestus said nothing more, and immediately waved his hand, releasing a burst of cosmic power that enveloped Wuxin.

Wu Xin suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, and then he was out of the canyon and outside.

"We've got the spark; now only the final step remains!"
