Capítulo 119: Chapter 119: Hades' Artifact: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse! Abyss of the Stars!
The seal of the Cosmic Furnace lies in an abyss within the Star Realm, vast and boundless. To be clear, this place is filled with a massive amount of garbage, true waste in every sense—nothing of any use at all.
For the gods, this mountain of debris is utterly worthless. However, for Hades, it hardly matters. To be precise, he truly doesn't care at all.
No matter if it's garbage, the World Tree will decompose it, and afterward, it will be absorbed as divine power. It's indifferent—anything that can be consumed is fine.
Of course, the core of Hades' interest isn't these remnants. To be honest, they are utterly useless to him. This isn't a joke—their utility is minimal.
That's precisely why Hades' initial goal was never these so-called remnants but something else entirely. He sensed a different aura.
It was a power and law very similar to the seven-headed, ten-horned crimson dragon—a law of annihilation, a destructive divine power.
Under normal circumstances, such power wouldn't exist. The laws of the world represent life, and thus should not nurture such destructive laws.
Finding a seven-headed, ten-horned crimson dragon in the Underworld had already surprised Hades. Now, sensing another unique law, his curiosity was piqued.
Hades quickly ventured deep into the abyss. As the remnants were decomposed, the intriguing law began to emerge. A suit of armor, entirely empty, was missing parts of its white horse's armor.
The armor of this white horse, missing its front legs, resembled that of an undead knight, maintaining its form despite being hollow.
For a moment, Hades was stiff. He then muttered, "The White Horseman, why is it here? Because of some special reason..."
When the world perishes, it manifests in two forms. If a great mythical world perishes, it gives birth to the seven-headed, ten-horned crimson dragon. The dragon itself represents the world's destruction and perishes alongside it, creating a cyclical trap preventing it from becoming an Absolute God.
On the other hand, the destruction of smaller worlds gives birth to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
The White Horseman: Pestilence.
The Red Horseman: War.
The Black Horseman: Famine.
The Pale Horseman: Death.
These four are also known as the Horsemen of Revelation, signifying the impending end of a world.
Yet, the White Horseman before Hades was half-destroyed, which puzzled him. This wasn't how it should be. What was happening here?
Encountering a nascent seven-headed, ten-horned crimson dragon in the Underworld was surprising yet acceptable, given it might represent the future destruction of a mythical world or some unique circumstance.
But what about this? The Horsemen of Revelation don't possess the power to destroy mythical worlds, especially not in such a decrepit state.
Despite his brief confusion, Hades resumed his composure and began searching deeper in the abyss.
Indeed, he found the remnants of the other Horsemen:
The White Horseman missing its front legs.
The Red Horseman missing its rear half.
The Black Horseman missing its front half.
The Pale Horseman missing its rear legs.
All four Horsemen appeared, their knightly figures reduced to mere fragments, with only their horses mostly intact.
For ordinary gods, these fragments were useless, even to a God-King. What could one do with remnants?
However, in Hades' hands, it was different. Don't forget, Hades possessed the power of the seven-headed, ten-horned crimson dragon, making him well-versed in annihilative divine powers and laws.
With a substantial infusion of divine power, the Four Horsemen gradually began to be restored. But that wasn't all—Hades infused them with the divine power of the Star of Calamity. Yes, Hades intended to forge the Four Horsemen into artifacts of the Underworld.
Chubb still lacked an artifact. As a perfect Underworld warrior, such artifacts were essential.
Chubb's original armor was modeled after the Headless Horseman. Now, a Headless Horseman riding the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? Well, it might seem odd, but thinking it over, it also seemed quite fitting.
Thus, Hades quickly completed the creation of the Four Horsemen, then casually sent them into the Star of Calamity. Chubb respectfully knelt on one knee, paying homage.
Hades, without much concern, swallowed the remaining remnants and prepared to leave. Before departing, he glanced at the Abyss of the Stars and, after a brief thought, decided to take it with him.
Though not particularly valuable, if it could be taken, why not? It might come in handy someday. If not, it could still feed the World Tree!
