Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Technique! Coeus Truly Feels a Familiar Scene!
Arrogant?
Conceited?
Proud?
No!
No, these emotions hardly ever appeared on Hades. The current situation almost only represented one possibility: Hades had absolute confidence. Only with such confidence could he be in this state.
Coeus knew Hades must have become stronger. However, strong individuals always have a kind of instinct: an enormous confidence in themselves. Even Coeus, known as the Sage, was no exception.
To be precise.
The wiser a person, the more confident they are. They believe everything is within their control and nothing can escape it. This was Coeus's mindset.
There's nothing wrong with this, but sometimes, as the saying goes, if you hunt geese all day, one day you'll get pecked. This isn't surprising.
"…"
Coeus remained silent for a moment, then moved. Holding a sword in one hand, a thin blade similar to a rapier appeared and swiftly thrust towards Hades.
Rules?
Divine power?
It seemed he used none of these, yet the force exerted was terrifying.
Technique!
This was Coeus's terrifying strength. As a Sage, Coeus was not one to hide behind the scenes and play mind games. Quite the opposite, Coeus was a god proficient in techniques.
In this era, during the Golden Age, apart from Cronus and Hyperion, no god could match Coeus in techniques.
Of course.
This wasn't surprising. In this era, gods primarily focused on mastering rules, harnessing divine power, and forging artifacts. Techniques? They considered them meaningless, not worth their attention.
In the eyes of many gods, what use are techniques? They're just child's play. It's not surprising. To powerful gods, brute strength is what matters most.
In fact!
Most gods have indeed mastered the art of overwhelming force. With their techniques, they exhibit astounding power, perfectly showcasing the principle of overwhelming strength.
This is why most gods disdain techniques; they find them almost useless. If that's the case, why care about them?
But Coeus was different. He was one of the few, or rather the first, to truly develop techniques. As for Hyperion?
Well...
Known as the strongest among the Twelve Titans, Hyperion was a hexagonal warrior, a terrifying monster with incredible power. Such a monster's strength was undoubtedly formidable and terrifying.
This is not surprising. Strong gods don't care about techniques for this reason. What power can techniques really exert?
Techniques!!!
In the future Bronze Age, when humans became the rulers of the earth, they developed techniques to fight the gods, pushing them to the extreme to gain the power to slay gods.
That was the golden age of techniques. In this era, however, it was all about foundation and strength. For gods, no matter what, techniques couldn't reach that level.
Why?
It's not that gods can't match humans in this regard; it's just pointless. It sounds strange, but it's a fact.
For gods, with their various cultivation methods—rules, divine kingdoms, faith—once their divine power is high enough, they can crush you with a single blow. Why bother with all the complicated maneuvers?
It's a matter of personality and perspective, not surprising at all. For gods, it's perfectly normal to disregard techniques.
This is why gods rarely develop exceptionally strong techniques. Because! That's just how it is.
But Coeus was different. He pushed techniques to their limits. Not to say he reached perfection or transcendence.
Similarly, Coeus's techniques were astounding, but fundamentally, he was still a god, relying primarily on divine power and rules. It was unrealistic for him to focus solely on techniques.
Thus, Coeus's techniques, while impressive and terrifying, didn't reach an unparalleled level. It's just not realistic.
However.
Faced with Coeus's techniques, Hades casually raised his hand. A pitch-black divine sword formed from a star of calamity appeared in his hand, and he directly confronted Coeus.
Technique!
Though Hades hadn't focused much on it, he didn't consider it weak. If he had the chance to master it, he would certainly try.
The best way to master a power is either through a teacher's guidance or by fighting a strong opponent, learning through combat.
For Hades, the first option was practically impossible. Thus, the second option was best, and Coeus was an excellent teacher in battle.
Coeus realized this problem. Though he could suppress Hades with his astonishing techniques, completely defeating him was nearly impossible.
In the battle with Coeus, Hades absorbed and grew rapidly, like a sponge. His learning speed was incredible.
So fast!
It was unimaginable. As Coeus watched Hades wielding the pitch-black divine sword against him, he felt a moment of confusion, as if seeing a familiar figure.
