Next was Hestia, who did the same thing as his mother did; he had to comfort her too before moving onward to the next arrival, who was Hera. She was also worried, but instead of nagging me, she said, "Glad you're back. Next time, don't leave like that."
"Sure thing." He said with a smile, but inwardly, he thought, 'Zeus ruined her; she is such a nice girl, but zeus turned her into a envious little bitch. Hopefully, she'll realize that due to me.' Next to arrive were my brothers. Zeus arrived in a flashy teleportation to which I rolled my eyes and said, "Can you be anything else bright?"
"Nope, can't do, brother." He said with a smile and immediately tried to flirt with Hera. She rejected him and reprimanded him for 'disgracing the marriage blessed by me'; meanwhile, Poseidon looked down, not daring to look into my eyes. Hades sighed as he said, "Look, brother, you were arrogant. I get it, and even if you don't apologize, I already forgive you. I don't keep grudges, I clear them at the movement they apper."
Poseidon looked up and said, "Thank you, brother," and seated himself in his seat. Demeter arrived next, and I just looked at and she did the same thing. She said. "What's up, bro?"
Hades widened his eyes and said, "What, that manner of speaking? Where did you learn this from?"
"Chill, brother, I created it," Demeter said with a smile, to which Hades reprimanded her and told her to sit in her chair. She was angry at being reprimanded by her brother. Hades cleared his throat and said, "Previously, I said that I was going somewhere that is going to bring us a great advantage. Well, I succeed in that."
There was silence at the table as Hades finished his sentence. "Are you going to tell us about it, brother?"
"I went to the underworld, took the throne, after which I went to Tartarus and freed the Hecatoncheires and Cyclops–" Hades began before getting interrupted by someone new, Gaia, as she yelled.
"You did what?" Everyone at the table immediately got up, panic was in everyone's heart as she appeared out of nowhere.
"I thought you wanted your sons to be free," Hades replied calmly, with not a trace of panic, but inwardly, he was anything but calm. 'Shit, this is the mother of everything. The Fucking boss of the world here' He thought, she then said
"I am not mad, child. I was about to suggest that you the suggestion to go and get my sons to help you. I am surprised and excited to meet them."
"They are official citizens of the underworld since they can't just roam the earth. I have taken them into my world. After this meeting is over, I will take you to meet them," Hades said, while Gaia was impressed with how calm he looked. Meanwhile, it took quite a while for everyone to digest this, as Zeus said
"So, you got control over the underworld and its armies, right? Didn't that massively boost our chance of winning this fight?"
"Yes, it did, brother. Now, we went from 30% to a whopping 50% with our combined strength, removing Cronus from the mix." Hera said, calculating all of this in her mind. Hades then took back control and said
"Here, these are your weapons that they crafted for you. Now, with these, you have a chance at defeating Cronus and his armies. First, let's start with Zeus:" Hades began. "This is the thunderbolt, a weapon that acts like a spear. When thrown, you can command it to split into multiple pieces, thus causing massive damage to multiple enemies at the same time. It also can shatter storms and command thunder across realms.
Next, Poseidon. This is the Trident of earthquake; with this, you can command tsunamis, sea quakes, and can part oceans at will; plus on top it is linked to a ancient beast called the kraken that you can summon at will. Hestia, you will get the Radiant Bracer. I kept in mind your preference to not to hurt but protect personality and ordered them to make this with it. You can emit pure warmth and protective energy and also can expand into a radiant shield when defending others, absorbing both physical and divine attacks. Demeter, you get the Living Staff. It is a staff that was born from the first seed in the underworld. It can manipulate plants on a cellular level, Summons sentient plant guardians, and creates temporary sanctuaries of nature even in Tartarus. Finally, Hera, you get the most simple but also the most terrifying weapon: The Scepter of Sovereign Will. When you touch a person with this scepter, you can dominate minds, and it also acts as a glaive in combat." Hades finished his long lecture on the powers of the weapons.
There was yet another silence in the table, "Holy shit, brother." Zeus muttered at this as he couldn't believe the thing that just happened. "Although I get why you gave us the weapons, but why did you give the women weapons too? They are not going to fight, you know."
Hades frowned as he said, "Why is that?"
"Huh? What do you mean? That how it works, men fight while the women handle the house," Zeus replied. Hades let out a chuckle and said
"Zeus, you are trying to establish a new order to the cosmos. Show that your rule will not be like that of Cronus or Uranus. That is when we will truly be under a new leader; otherwise, it is just going to be a change in power with the same rules as before."
The table was again surprised at this, meanwhile, Zeus fell into thought and eventually nodded at me. "Fine, you are right" He said, 'The gods are mature now that there is the sowrd of cronus on their necks' hades thought as he got up, before hera asked him a question.
"You said Zeus rule. Does that mean that you will not fight for the throne?"
"No, from now on, I will be going into the underworld and maintaining neutrality in this war. Cronus wouldn't dare attack the afterlife, so I can live peacefully there while fulfilling my duty. If you guys need a place to retreat or hide for a while, just pray to me, and I will bring you all here," Hades said.
