After a pause, Hades added, "Helping Chthon and the others means helping ourselves. After all, sooner or later, we'll have to face the Mechanical Demon King."
Although Zeus was arrogant, he was not yet the God King, and his arrogance had not reached the point of making him forget himself. He thought it over, then nodded. "We'll see how things develop. If an opportunity presents itself, we'll act. If not, we'll stay hidden."
"Exactly."
Hades nodded. Looking at Poseidon, he thought, I've done right by you, talking Zeus into fighting. If we weren't already allies, I wouldn't care whether you lived or died.
Chthon and the others were speechless over Poseidon running off to fight Perseus. The Ocean Tsunami they had pinned such high hopes on was gone just like that. Worse still, the Sea God was gone too.
"Poseidon ran off, and the Ocean Tsunami is completely gone."
The female commander asked with a headache, "Worse still, the Mechanical Demon King knew about this in advance, which means he must have prepared for it. Are we still going ahead?"
"Of course we are. We've come this far. How could we stop now?"
Chthon said decisively, "Although the Mechanical Demon King knew about this in advance, he didn't attack the Undersea City to eliminate the disaster before it happened. What does that tell us? It tells us this was beyond his capabilities.

Death, Set, and Demon all nodded in agreement. They had borrowed their Demon Army from the Strength Demon King Alliance, while Sea God Poseidon had supplied the cannon fodder. In other words, they had invested nothing. Why
