Just as Hades was contemplating his options—how to explain away his earlier threat to Michael—Zeus stepped forward, his fist crackling with lightning as he delivered a silent blow to Hades's stomach.
"Ugh! You...?!" Hades doubled over, staring at Zeus in disbelief.
"Brother! What's wrong? Is your old injury acting up again?" Zeus cried out, feigning concern as he helped Hades to his feet.
Hades, realizing Zeus's ploy—a desperate attempt to escape—played along. He clutched his stomach, groaning. "Yes... it seems... it's flared up again..."
He turned to Michael, his voice filled with false regret. "Michael-sama, my deepest apologies. I require immediate medical attention. The Greek pantheon will... withdraw from these proceedings."
The other Gods exchanged glances.
They saw through Hades's charade. 'He was trying to run.'
Michael, who had been diligently taking notes, looked up, a sweet smile on her face. She picked up a stack of documents, and with a flash of light, distributed them to the Gods.
"Don't be so hasty. We're almost finished. These are the agreements we've reached regarding the redistribution of faith. If there are no objections, please sign."
