Hades looked at Athena with doubt and said:
"Isn't my daughter better?"
Then he added confidently:
"She has the power of death…"
"And your daughter has the power of life…"
Then he smiled slightly:
"Isn't death stronger?"
Odin looked at them calmly—
Then shook his head and said:
"No, Hades…"
"The energies of death and life… complete each other."
Then he continued in a serious tone:
"What matters now…"
"Is to figure out what benefits the children—"
"And do it… so they can become rulers as quickly as possible."
All the brothers nodded in agreement.
But—
Poseidon muttered to himself:
"My son is the strongest… stronger than all your children."
Athena raised an eyebrow and looked at him in confusion:
"What did you just say, brother?"
Poseidon quickly jumped and said:
"No, no! I didn't say anything!"
"You must be imagining things!"
But inside, he was shouting:
"How did she know what I was thinking?!"
"Women are truly terrifying…"
Then he continued sarcastically in his mind:
"I hope you survive, brother Odin, after marrying Forn…"
Athena looked at him for a moment—
She didn't like the expression on his face.
And thought to herself:
"This idiot was definitely thinking something bad…"
At that moment—
Odin decided to end the argument and said:
"Did Poseidon tell you what happened?"
Hades looked at him and said:
"Not exactly…"
Then added while looking at Poseidon:
"I didn't understand anything from this idiot."
Odin raised an eyebrow—
And looked at Poseidon, who was still distracted.
He sighed and said:
"Alright… I'll explain briefly."
At that moment—
Poseidon finally paid attention.
He and the others looked at Odin.
Odin said clearly:
"From today onward…"
"We will train together."
"Seriously."
"To control the power of the world for our benefit."
Then he added:
"I noticed that Poseidon—"
"Doesn't use the world's power properly."
Athena quickly said, with clear excitement:
"Will… you teach us that, brother?"
Odin looked at her—
Then at the rest of his brothers.
And nodded:
"We are a very powerful race…"
"And once one of us becomes a ruler—"
"They can use the energy of the world easily."
Then he continued:
"And fight with it for long periods…"
"Even forever—"
"As long as they don't rely on their inner energy."
Hades looked at Odin seriously and said:
"Isn't this a bit strange?"
Then added:
"What made you suddenly say this?"
"And why does Poseidon know this… yet act like that?"
Odin looked at Poseidon—
With angry eyes, and said:
"Because I saw him—"
"Playing with the giant child…"
"In a reckless and dangerous way."
Hades' eyes widened in shock, and he said:
"Oh my god…"
Then he looked at Poseidon:
"What did you do?"
Then he smiled slightly in mockery:
"Odin must have punished you badly… right?"
Poseidon looked at Hades with sarcasm and said:
"My brother Odin doesn't punish me, idiot."
Then he added confidently:
"He's my brother… and he knows I had good intentions training the child."
Then he looked at Odin and said:
"Right, brother?"
Odin looked at him in surprise—
But before he could answer—
Athena laughed:
"Hahaha!"
Then added mockingly:
"What are you saying, Poseidon?"
"Are you trying to win Odin's sympathy?"
"Are you a child or what?"
Poseidon looked at her in annoyance and said:
"This is none of your business, sister."
Then added sharply:
"My relationship with my brother doesn't concern you."
"And I know very well he won't punish me for something trivial like this."
Odin looked at his brothers—
At their endless, childish arguments…
He sighed slowly.
Then said calmly:
"Be at the shore tonight."
"That's our training time."
In an instant—
He disappeared.
Poseidon looked at the spot where Odin was—
With clear confusion, and thought:
"Strange…"
"He didn't yell at me…"
"He didn't scold me like usual…"
"Am I dreaming?"
Suddenly—
A strong hit landed on his head.
Poseidon cried out in pain:
"Ah!"
Then said while holding his head:
"What are you doing, brother?!"
"Do you want a fight?!"
Hades looked at him calmly and said:
"Did it hurt?"
Poseidon glared angrily and said:
"Of course it hurt, you annoying idiot!"
Hades smiled mockingly and said:
"Then… this isn't a dream."
"You idiot."
Then—
He disappeared while laughing.
Poseidon looked at where he vanished and thought:
"Fine, brother…"
"When we train tonight—"
"I'll show you how to mock me."
"Remember that well."
Athena looked at him with pity and said:
"Oh my god, brother…"
"You let Hades hit you like that?"
Then added mockingly:
"I think you really have become an idiot… just like he always said."
After saying that—
She disappeared too.
But before leaving—
She smiled mischievously.
And thought:
"It will be fun watching Hades and Poseidon fight…"
"Hahaha."
Poseidon looked at where she disappeared and thought:
"She's adding fuel to the fire…"
Then suddenly—
He smiled.
And said:
"But… you succeeded."
Then added with determination:
"Wait for me, Hades…"
"You won't escape what I'll do to you tonight."
In an instant—
He disappeared as well.
Heading toward the village—
To check on the children training…
And see if they needed anything.
