Bab 112: Chapter 112: Hunting Atlas and Seizing the Sky-Bearing Origin and Law
The seventy-two Demon Pillars are indeed the most suitable foundation for the Underworld. They are perfect as the pillars supporting the Underworld.
However, this is still insufficient. Hades thought about the problem: while the seventy-two Demon Pillars are very suitable as pillars, they lack a fundamental essence.
Sky-bearing Origin.
Sky-bearing Law.
Sky-bearing Pillar!
Why are they called Sky-bearing Pillars? It's simple! Their essence is the Sky-bearing Law. Although the seventy-two Demon Pillars are very suitable as pillars, they lack the Sky-bearing Law internally. Therefore, they are not enough as they currently are and need to be supplemented with the Sky-bearing Law. And the most suitable candidate for this is...
Hades stood up, opened the gate to the Underworld, and left Elysium. Instead of urgently seeking the Cosmic Furnace, he aimed to find a specific deity.
Atlas!
"Hmm?!"
Atlas narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing something. Turning around, he saw a dark figure already present.
"Hades?" Atlas frowned, "What do you want?"
"Atlas," Hades said calmly, "I need your Sky-bearing Law and Origin. Hand them over, and I will spare your life."
"..."
Atlas showed a look of astonishment, then uncontrolled rage quickly surfaced. Was this a joke? This was absolutely a joke!
"Bastard!"
Atlas roared in anger, "Hades, are you kidding me?"
"No," Hades said calmly, "I don't joke. You followed Prometheus and submitted to Zeus. I can spare your life. With your talent and potential, you could return to this level over time."
Hades was not wrong. Besides being the Sky-bearing God, Atlas was also a God of Strength. Even if his Sky-bearing Origin and Law were taken, he could eventually recover through the Strength Law.
However, in his current rage, Atlas didn't want to hear this.
"Die!"
Atlas roared and attacked Hades.
For Hades, Atlas' refusal didn't matter. It wasn't an issue since he never planned for Atlas to agree in the first place.
Now?!
Heh heh heh~~~
Atlas initiated the attack himself. Regardless of the outcome, as long as Atlas attacked first, Hades could kill him without anyone questioning it. Isn't that right?
This is the core issue, and Hades understood it well. Atlas, driven by anger, especially by Hades' indifferent tone, had lost his rationality.
Hades said calmly, "Atlas, you remain unchanged, but I am now different."
"It's over."
"Cackle, cackle~~~"
With a strange laugh, chains formed from demon stars swiftly entangled Atlas, completely immobilizing him. As the sealing law fully activated, Atlas, representing the attribute of the sky, couldn't move an inch under the chains.
Atlas roared in rage, "Hades! Hades! You damned bastard, let me go, let me go, die! Die!"
Atlas barked furiously like a mad dog, but Hades remained calm, showing no emotion.
Meaningless!
Hades turned away, taking Atlas into the Underworld. Atlas' divine power, soul, and body were gradually devoured by the devouring law.
These were useless for the demon stars but were welcomed by the World Tree. The World Tree could absorb anything, breaking it down into divine power.
In theory!
Even if you fed a pile of garbage to the World Tree, as long as the quantity was sufficient, it could grow. The reason is simple: even garbage is composed of divine power at its core.
Obviously!
A little thought reveals the meaning. However, when you actually try it, you'll understand that it's not that easy.
Feeding garbage to the World Tree to grow it would consume an immense amount of divine power. However, for Hades, nothing should go to waste.
His World Tree wasn't picky. Slowly nurturing it would do; the rest didn't matter.
"Hades."
"Hades."
"Damn it..."
"Bastard!"
Atlas continued to bark madly like a wild dog, while Hades remained emotionless. Under the devouring law, Atlas' everything was being consumed.
Eventually!
Only two special divine powers and laws remained. One was the Sky-bearing Origin, representing Atlas as the Sky-bearing God. The other was the Sky-bearing Law.
Hades carefully integrated these origins and laws into the seventy-two Demon Pillars within the World Tree. Instantly, the previously slow-reforging pillars began absorbing the World Tree's divine power crazily, rapidly transforming and growing. In a short time, they were quickly taking shape. The Sky-bearing Origin and Sky-bearing Law were essential for the Sky-bearing Pillars.
This was the most fundamental and crucial point!
