Ryan couldn't help but frown. Those new skills were way too useful. He began to think that Merlin was right, and he only knocked down Zeus by a miracle. After all, how can you defeat someone that can gain your skills and their levels when they defeat you? While it wasn't at the same level as Ryan, Zeus could obtain some power-ups just by defeating weaklings. They just had to have different fighting styles.

"Those skills are way too useful, as expected of the power you gained by defeating the strongest Olympian god," Femradiel said.

"Speaking of that, I am curious about something…" Ryan said and then summoned his magic weapons, in which he sealed the elder gods.

"Zeus… even you were defeated," Poseidon said, visibly astonished. "I can't believe it."

"You sound less displeased than I expected," Zeus said. "Did you grow used to this, Poseidon?"

"... Tsk," Poseidon clicked his tongue after a few moments of silence.

"Zeus," Odin said. "I watched all the fight, and I am disappointed that you have fallen so far to the point that you tried to use those who you allied with."

"So, it was true…" Thorn said. "I knew something smelled fishy when you decided to offer an alliance. Still, I imagined that you had some pride as a warrior. You are pathetic, Zeus."

"Silent, you snot-nosed brat," Zeus said. "If you weren't so hot-blooded, we could have defeated him with our first plan of attack."

"That isn't like you, Zeus," Thanatos said. "To rely on cheap tricks and then complain after failing."

"Nevertheless… it seems that the destiny of the world is in the humans' hands now," Hypnos said. "The free elder gods won't make any moves now that they have our powers. We assumed from the very beginning that we wouldn't lose to them and that their only option was to be ruled by us, and thanks to it, we failed. Now a single human is on the path of mastering the power of one demon, two Norse gods, and five Olympian gods."

"This war is far from over," Zeus said. "I only let my efforts of the last thousand years go to waste. I will escape from this prison and force each one of you to cooperate with me or face the consequences. You will be the first, Hephaestus. I won't tolerate you showing your back to the Olympus again."

Hephaestus didn't say anything. He was far too quiet, after all. In any case, it was quite something to see those people talking as if Ryan wasn't hearing them. Inside spatial storage, they couldn't talk since time didn't pass there, so they could only think of something in situations like those.

"If you guys are done, I would like to ask some questions," Ryan said. "You guys didn't want to become rulers of the Earth again just for the sake of it, right? Odin mentioned that he had a goal. What is your goal?"

"You worked with some elder gods, and they didn't tell you anything?" Odin asked.

"No, I suppose they imagined it wouldn't be worth sharing for the time being since we didn't know if we would succeed in defeating you guys," Ryan replied.

"Why don't you ask now then?" Odin insisted.

"I will, but first, I want to hear your side of the story," Ryan said.

Instead of an answer, Ryan only received silence. It seemed that he would have to be more persuasive. Odin seemed more reasonable than Zeus, but he wasn't that eager to share the things that he knew.

"I have nothing to say to someone who threw so much mud and the name of the Olympian gods," Zeus said.

"You had thrown enough mud when you planned to stab me in the back," Thor said.

"You guys can argue about this later," Ryan said. "Odin seems the most reasonable one. Can you answer my question?"

Once again, Ryan received silence instead of an answer, which was troublesome, but he didn't let that bother him. Since they didn't want to cooperate, Ryan put his weapons away. Putting them in a prison where time doesn't pass is actually a good way to handle those who didn't want to cooperate, even after they caused so much trouble to Ryan.

Regardless, instead of asking to Femradiel summon more monsters, Ryan decided to level up some classes to the max level. He had three of them that were in the nineties, but Ryan decided to use them later and level up some that were on a lower level. They were Celestial Bard, Celestial Archer, and Celestial Warmage. He had a feeling that something good would come out from those… and Ryan's guess wasn't wrong.
