Chapter 16: Hades’ Secret!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The creature that appeared was extremely terrifying. It was even more bizarre and terrifying than the Hecatoncheires. It had a hundred dragon heads, but its body took the shape of a snake. Its mouths were filled with snake tongues, and it sometimes spoke in human language, and at other times, it spoke in the voices of various animals. It was ever-changing, and there was a ball of fire in its eyes, producing an extremely strong sense of oppression.
"Why are you here?"
Typhon was a demonic singularity, the source of evil. As he was so powerful, Gaia was afraid that he would destroy the world, so she joined hands with the God of Creation Tartarus, preventing him from taking even half a step out of Tartarus.
Of course, he wasn't pleased with this decision. Why couldn't he go to the beautiful world outside, instead, he had to be imprisoned in this dark hell! Thus, he did everything he could to escape from this place.
However, even though he was very powerful, there was nothing he could do after being sealed by the two Gods of Creation.
To think that he and Hades were on talking terms. If news of this spread, it would shock countless people.
"Things have changed!"
Hades was not afraid of Typhon. He unraveled his plans. "Now that I've given Zeus and the others something to argue about, the inner strife within them will definitely continue to erupt. When a great battle breaks out, who knows how many lives would be lost! By then, you should be able to gain even more power, right?"
Typhon spoke in a language only gods could hear. "That's right! As long as there is an endless stream of blood and evil thoughts, I will only become stronger! When that time comes, no Titan or Zeus will be my match. When that time comes, I will be the new God-King!"
Typhon knew that his main body would remain trapped here, so he thought of an idea, which was to represent himself as a humanoid avatar in the outside world. Thus, by chance, he found Hades.
"That's good! Let them continue the war! But now that the Titans are gaining the upper hand, I also need to be stronger to maintain the balance!"
Hades continued to speak in a deep voice.
It was also an accident that he knew Typhon. Many years ago, when he was training in Tartarus, he came across a powerful demon. Just as he was about to flee, the other party stopped him and introduced himself as Typhon.
He naturally knew Typhon, the ancestor of the demons! The source of evil. At that time, he was still a righteous god, so he was naturally very afraid. However, the demon only told him that in the future, if he encountered any difficulties, he could come and look for him. Then, he left the black stone behind and disappeared.
Hades quickly left the place after that. He told no one about this. As he fell at the mercy of a Titan, he thought of Typhon. At first, he was a little hesitant, but in the end, he still used the stone.
At first, he wanted to use him to defeat the Titans, but the other party told him that he could help him become the new God-King. He began to refuse his offer and said that he did not need it, but the other party told him that.., even if he defeated the Titans, his situation would not be good. Zeus would become the new God-King, and he would grow paranoid of those who stood beside him.
Of course, he did not believe it. Zeus had personally saved them, so how would he betray them? But as time passed, Zeus gradually revealed his true nature. He was arrogant, petty, narrow-minded, and so on. He finally agreed to Typhon's conditions.
The two began to work together.
"That's simple! I think your current strength should be at the peak of the main god level, right? I will help you break through to the true god level! But don't you forget our agreement!"
Typhon warned him.
Although the two were in a cooperative relationship, they remained suspicious of each other.
"Don't worry! Your avatar would be free soon!"
Hades was not stupid. Typhon was very powerful. If his true form was ever released, it would be the end of the world. Thus, he only agreed to allow his avatar out.
"Alright!"
Typhon agreed. He spat out a dark crystal, telling him that after absorbing this, he could advance to the true god realm.
"Oh right, Athena followed me when I came here. I suspect that she knows something, so I need you to get rid of her!"
Hades was delighted after taking the crystal and said.
"Hmm? You were not vigilant enough! Don't worry! I'll send someone!"
Typhon agreed.
He looked at Hades with disdain. When my avatar leaves, the position of the God-King will be mine! How could I give it to Hades? When that time comes, he would open the seal and release his main body. At that time, no one would be able to stop him!
...
Lorne, who was refining the divine runes, had already reached the final juncture.
Suddenly, he let out a loud shout. His power was released into the divine runes one after another, engraving his own divine power into the divine rune in one go. After that, the divine sword shone brightly. Lorne could feel that the power of the divine sword in his control increasing by a little.
"Haha!"
Then, Lorne opened his eyes and laughed loudly, feeling very happy.
His strength had increased by a little, and when he felt the destructive aura of the divine sword, he could not help but want to release it again. However, his divine power was so powerful that even the slightest force would destroy everything within tens of thousands of kilometers.
Thus, he decided to go to Tartarus.
It was the ideal testing site. Most importantly, no one was watching over it. In addition, there were countless magical beasts and monsters. It even came with free target practice.
He left as he willed it. He disappeared in an instant and drilled into the earth. Finally, he came to the entrance of Tartarus. Sensing a somewhat familiar aura, Lorne did not stop. He planned to enter the core.
He crossed tens of thousands of kilometers before finally arriving at a place with a very strong evil presence.
"There shouldn't be anyone disturbing this place, right?"
Lorne did not believe that there would be any gods coming to this place. They had always avoided places like this.
Then, the divine sword suddenly materialized, and Lorne held it tightly.
The divine power in his body flowed into the divine sword, and the sword gleamed with power. At that moment, the aura around his body changed completely.
"Slash!"
Lorne spun and rose into the air, instantly slashing out at the mass of miasma in front of him.
Instantly, a golden sword aura with endless power flashed out.
Wherever it went, the evil miasma and darkness were purified, and the space was shattered like glass.
Boom!!!
The sword aura arrived in an instant and eradicated the miasma mass that was hundreds of miles wide. The miasma mass immediately broke into pieces and quickly dissipated, like a pot of boiling water that had been poured on ice.
There was a huge tremor nearby, which attracted a mutated lizard that was thousands of feet tall. Because it had a pair of wings on its body, it was very ugly.
After seeing Lorne, the mutated lizard even opened its big mouth that emitted a foul smell. Its row of sharp teeth looked extremely sharp.
Many magical beasts and monsters that were born in Tartarus were mostly unintelligent. They would crush everything they saw into pieces and then eat it.
In their minds, the concept of differing power and strength did not exist. That was why when it saw Lorne, it immediately spat out a blue flame that was hundreds of meters long.
"Good timing!"
Lorne's body spun and disappeared from where he was. He appeared at the side of the mutated lizard and slashed at it with his divine sword.
He directly cut off one of its wings.
