--- Chapter 272 ---

Dante, or should we call Thalia now, was shocked inside. 

Her concealing equipment is the best, so how could a native from this world see through it? Not to mention, this planet is the lowest of the lowest star realms in the Primal Chaos Dimension. 

Yes, we are talking about a Divine Tool who could fool gods and demon kings of another world.

Yet the same Divine Artifact couldn't fool this unknown man. 

Thalia was shocked by this unknown man's handsome features as she found them to fit her taste. However, she was more shocked when he called out her secret identity.

Yu Long chuckled after seeing Thalia's shocked expression. Even though she had the face of a messy elderly at the moment, he could see deep shock in her ignorant green eyes.

"Ack!" The rocking chair shook violently, sending Thalia flying to a nearby tree. When she crashed into the tree, her disguise fell off, and a white mask bounced on the ground.

A young woman appeared before everyone. She's around 170 centimeters and wore a loose green robe, revealing skins here and there while still showing off her curves. 

She has greenish-orange hair, a lovely face, brown volcanic eyes, and a small nose. Her beauty wasn't on the same level as Huan Caiyi or Chu Yuechan, but she was still a rare cutie.

Then, again. Beauty is subjective.

Huan Caiyi's eyes widened slightly, 'Such a powerful disguise. It could even fool my senses for so long.' 

'If Yu Long didn't tattle her out, I wouldn't have realized Dante was a young girl.' 

'What a brave lass.' 

Chu Yuechan and Tempest looked down on Thalia, who rubbed her cheek in pain. 

Thaila rubbed her cheeks and realized the texture was somewhat off. Her face paled because the Mask of Proteus fell off. 

She froze on the spot and turned around awkwardly with beads of sweat falling off her cute face, "I..." 

'Run!' 

Thalia turned into a green blur as she used her power to control this pocket dimension, shifting her position to the exit.

Well, she was one step behind. 

Bam!

Thalia crashed against an invisible wall and smacked herself onto it quite hard. 

"That must be hurt," Tempest commented casually.

'You think!' Thalia was mad. 'Also, who put a goddamn wall in my private dimension!'

Yu Long crossed his arms in amusement, "Don't be surprised. I've sealed this pocket dimension when I walk into it." 

"I'm never entering an unknown place without a precaution." 

"Y-You..." Thalia was speechless. Even though Yu Long said it so casually, she knew her pocket dimension was 'actually' made with a Divine Artifact and not something an outsider could seize. 

Yu Long stared at Thalia and added calmly, "Akhilleus Kosmos is one of Olympus's greatest artifacts, allowing one to create a portable dimension and safe haven from others." 

"Unfortunately, what you have is a mere replica." 

"Hephaestus probably didn't tell you, but the replica has one glaring weakness when he makes it." 

"Its inner space is flawed. If your control is too weak, your enemy could seize it. I don't understand why Hephaestus sent his inexperienced daughter to another world like this." 

"He's literally sending you to death." 

"Don't talk bad about my father!" Thalia lashed out. She was angry that Yu Long was belittling her father. 

Yu Long put on a playful smirk, "So, you're admitting you're his daughter now?" 

"..." Thalia knew she was fucked up. She walked right into this unknown man's trap. 

Huan Caiyi bewildered before giggling, "Yu Long, you're so bad. Teasing a girl like that." 

Yu Long shrugged casually, "You don't know this girl took on her father's personality too much. She might look like a cute rabbit outside due to her mother's nymph lineage, but she was stubborn as a mule like her father."

At the same time, Yu Long inwardly sighed, 'When I met Hephaestus last time, his daughter was only 2-3 years old.' 

"Counting the Cosmic Storm's accident and Olympus Massacre, you should be around 28 or 29 years old." 

"Am I right, Thalia?" 

Thalia's eyes widened again, "H-How the fu-!" 

Her father was one of Olympus's survivors. Unlike those self-proclaimed gods, Hephaestus isn't arrogant about his power and has better self-control.

The Sage of Craftsmanship and God of Fire, Hephaestus, is one of the small people Yu Long acknowledged in his past life. That's why Yu Long spared his poor life when massacring Olympus God. 

Yu Long waved his hand, and the Mask of Proteus flew into his left hand, causing Thalia to frown. 

He observed the Mask of Proteus briefly before saying, "I see, so that's why." 

Yu Long used the power of Karma to see Mask's past, permitting him to witness what happened to Thalia and her father. He sighed and stared at her with a sorry gaze, "Thalia, your father, I mean Hephaestus..." 

"Is he really dead?" 

"Don't worry, you can tell the truth." 

"I'm not your enemy." 

"On the contrary, I'm one of your father's old friends." 

"Like I would believe you!" Thalia hissed. She wouldn't fall for the same trick twice.

No way in hell she believed Yu Long's sudden declaration. 

"I get it. You're worried, but I won't harm a single hair on you from now on." Yu Long smiled faintly before tossing the Mask of Proteus to Thalia. 

"That last kick was just to test you." 

Thalia caught it warily but didn't say anything. 

"Prove it." 

"Prove that you're my father's old friend!"

Yu Long tilted his head, "You want a proof? Hmm, that's easy." 

"Let's see..." 

"Let me think of something for a bit." 

"My memory is blurry." 

Everyone looked at Yu Long, who slowly lifted his left arm and conjured a flame by igniting his profound energy. The flame is gentle red but soon transformed into a ghostly white flame.

The surrounding temperature rose rapidly.

Huan Caiyi, who mainly used fire elements, couldn't help but be amazed because she felt the heat in her skin. 

Chu Yuechen wasn't affected much because of her ice elements. 

On the other hand, Tempest and Thalia have problems breathing. 

Tempest wielded the wind element, so she was sensitive when Yu Long fed the ghostly white flame with immense wind elements. She felt slightly suffocated but hurriedly calmed herself down. 

Meanwhile, Thalia felt her world turned upside down when she saw the ghostly white flame. She couldn't be more familiar with this flame because her father was the one who invented it. 

White Flame of Beginning, Prototheus. 

Besides fire-related power and talent, one must accumulate a hundred years' worth of fire essence from heaven and earth-blessed land to rekindle Prototheus. 

And that's only to create a spark. 

To make Prototheus, one must keep supplying the spark with another hundred years' worth of fire essence from heaven and earth. 

One needs to repeat it ten times.

Yes, ten times. However, even Hephaestus could only supply Prototheus for eight times. The requirement is too high. 

Thalia's heart becomes extremely cold. She felt like she plunged into an ice lake because of Yu Long's unexpected action, 'Prototheus is my father's greatest research on creating a man-made Prometheus.' 

'No one should know about this secret besides me and Mother.'

'Not even Zeus knows...' 

Then, Thalia suddenly remembered something. 

She recalled the moment of her father on his deathbed. 

He coughed profusely and sighed, "My greatest regret is not being able to see you grow, Thalia." 

"You have inherited all my knowledge, technique, and powers." 

"However, it's not enough." 

"The Church of Khaos's power exceeded our imagination. Even I couldn't defeat them despite being one of Olympus's gods." 

"Go, go look for Kaiju Maker's power. Only he could protect this world from destruction." 

"After all, my skills are lower than him." 

"That Cosmic Storm..." 

"I believe he..." Before Hephaestus could finish his words, a powerful curse already killed him. 

Thalia sobbed hard, "That damned the Church of Khaos! Just wait, I, Thalia, will avenge my father and mother!" 

That day, Thalia vowed to destroy the Church of Khaos. 

Unfortunately, reality hit Thalia hard. She has no real power to fight the Church of Khaos. 

After fleeing her home, she could only slowly gather Kaiju Maker's power and accumulate personal strength while hiding like a rat in a small hole.

It's not until over a decade ago that Thalia luckily stumbled into the Primal Chaos Dimension. 

"J-Just... Who are you?" Thalia questioned while staring at Yu Long.

Yu Long smiled faintly, "Oh, haven't you heard my name? My name is Yu Long." 

"But I have another name, or should I say title?" 

"People call me the Kaiju Maker."
