章 120: Chapter 120: Returning to the Surface World! The Same Place, The Same Twelve Titans
Whether it's a valuable item or a piece of junk, it doesn't matter much. Hades operates on the principle that if it can't be used, it can be taken and decomposed into divine power to feed the World Tree.
Having retrieved the Cosmic Furnace, Hades left the Star Realm. Over the years, he had prepared everything necessary, reaching the level of a God-King, and doing so perfectly.
Next!
He needed to return to the Heart of the Ocean to forge the invisibility helmet and some other artifacts. As for the Titan War? He would see what Poseidon and Zeus had in mind. Both sides were ready, so it was time to begin.
However.
Upon returning to the surface world, Hades found himself stopping in the same place as before, seemingly waiting for something.
Last time, Iapetus had waited for him here.
This time, another of the Twelve Titans awaited him.
Hades couldn't help but wonder if this place was a refresh point for the Twelve Titans. A respawn point? Of course, this was more of a jest.
His journey to the Star Realm wasn't a secret. Anyone looking could find out, so naturally, a new Titan would be waiting for him here.
After all.
Unlike Poseidon and Zeus, from Iapetus to Coeus now, Hades had always been on the run.
Hades waited quietly, showing no intention of leaving, and calmly said, "Coeus, such barriers and seals are ineffective against me."
"I know." A figure gradually emerged from the void, smiling. "Hades, you've transformed to such an extent without me realizing. If I had waited any longer, if you became a God-King, I wouldn't be able to kill you."
Coeus spoke confidently. As one of the Twelve Titans, the God of Black Thunder, and known as the Sage, his wisdom could see through everything.
But!
Coeus's wisdom failed against Hades, who had already broken through to God-King, though ordinary gods couldn't detect it.
With his entry into the God-King realm, Hades's mastery of the Invisibility Cloak had become even more astonishing. Though not absolutely perfect, the difference in essence was already incomparable.
This fundamental disparity gave Coeus the illusion, and Hades, quietly watching him, said calmly, "Coeus, you've chosen a path to death."
"We don't truly die." Coeus smiled. "Killing you, rescuing Iapetus—today, Hades, it all ends here."
Coeus stared deeply at Hades, not joking. To Coeus, he had always seen Hades grow rapidly.
As Iapetus had said, in Hades, they saw the figure of their king. This was the most terrifying and fearsome thing.
The Twelve Titans, as siblings of Cronus, knew very well how terrifying their brother, their king, was.
Because of this.
They were willing to follow Cronus, filled with respect and seriousness, never betraying him, knowing that only by following Cronus could they rise higher.
Now.
Coeus, Iapetus, and even Rhea had to admit one thing: in Hades, they truly saw another Cronus.
Though they didn't want to admit it, they had to. Hades instilled fear in them, a man so terrifying that he made everyone feel afraid.
That's why they kept attacking Hades, determined to defeat him.
From the beginning.
Hades had been quietly waiting for the Twelve Titans to visit and cause trouble. As for retaliation? Patience! Patience! The time would come for reciprocation, but not now.
Hades had a clear understanding of himself. Arrogance and rashness were meaningless. The path of the gods was clear. One had to walk it step by step.
As for faltering due to arrogance? Hades thought that if he ever became that reckless, he might as well be dead. It was utterly pointless.
Hades believed that food must be eaten one bite at a time and the road walked step by step. Moving too hastily would lead to problems, significant ones.
"Hades..." Coeus looked at Hades, silently for a moment, then asked, "I'm curious, knowing I'm here waiting for you, why did you still stay?"
"…"
Hades remained silent, then slowly replied, "Coeus, you should know that fearlessness means not being afraid. There's no reason—fearlessness is just that."
Listening to Hades, Coeus's expression grew sharp. This indifference and calmness made him take Hades seriously.
The reason was simple!
Coeus knew Hades had defeated Iapetus, but compared to Iapetus…
Well~~~
The Twelve Titans were divided into four tiers. Cronus, the Titan King, was naturally above all. The second tier was Hyperion, the strongest man.
The third tier was Coeus, and the fourth tier included the remaining Titans. Each tier was significantly superior to the next.
Yet!
Hades's attitude made Coeus instantly serious.
