Undercover [Second Update]

Several decades had now passed since Hecate's ascension to godhood and the great war between the Magic Pantheon and the Olympian gods.

Although the Olympian gods had recovered from the last war, they still vividly remembered how Hecate had faced many alone, while Ye Ting had used the Reality Marble, "Sea of Chaos," to summon pseudo Creator Gods and nearly wipe them out.

At the time, they had been forced to cede territory and pay reparations in order to preserve their lives.
