"Saori, are you saying that Hades has gone to Olympus now?" Yota asked, surprise on his face.

Saori Kido nodded as if it were only natural. "The vast majority of Olympian Gods find the mortal world incomparably filthy, so they do not remain here for long."

"Of course, that authority has both advantages and disadvantages... Hades previously did not want the other gods
