Capítulo 77: Chapter 77: Sad Song of Hades
"Hades," Kronos spoke slowly again, "come, let me see your preparation. If you bring out the Song of the Gods, you will reclaim your essence just like Poseidon and Zeus. But have you truly prepared enough over all these years?"
Kronos was well aware that Hades had spent an extensive amount of time making ample preparations. After all, the appearance of the Song of the Gods was itself an unexpected event. It would be strange if Hades had placed all his bets on this anomaly.
"Father," Hades said calmly, "then let us begin."
Hades spoke quietly, his eyes filled with endless darkness, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.

Strands of divine power began to emanate from Hades, and his figure started to multiply. One Hades after another appeared, splitting from the power of the Chief God.
Eventually.
Three Chief Gods and twenty-one First-tier Gods formed from Hades. Kronos did not intervene but watched everything quietly, his eyes calm. "Hades, clones? In my eyes, this is hardly worth mentioning."
"Father," all twenty-four Hades spoke in unison, their voices resonating like a multi-layered melody.
At this moment, the three First-tier Gods, utilizing a triadic battle formation, revealed their prowess. One knelt on one knee while the other two turned their bodies, surrounded by boundless divine power.
Athena's Exclamation?
Very similar! To be precise, this technique was developed by Hades from the crystal of skills created by Pontus, similar to Athena's Exclamation. It was also a triadic battle formation, and with further enhancements from the World Tree, Demon Star, and so on, it became Hades' most perfected preparation. Whether it would succeed, he didn't know.
But he had to try. If he were to directly bring out the Song of the Gods, even if he reclaimed his essence, the outcome would be predetermined. Simply put, if that were the case, what would be the point of everything he had done?
Understanding these considerations, Hades knew that doing nothing and choosing to give up directly was tantamount to dying.
"Triadic battle formation." Kronos, as the Titan King, even as just an avatar of the Underworld King, was at the pinnacle of godhood. He said quietly, "This is meaningless, Hades! Do you think you can defeat me with this triadic battle formation? It's futile."
Kronos' words were indifferent, yet filled with an imperceptible arrogance. This was not a joke but a deep-seated pride. In Kronos' eyes, such a so-called battle formation was insignificant.
"Father, everything must be tried."
"Sad Song of Hades."
The three First-tier Hades spoke simultaneously, their triadic battle formation combining their divine powers. The endless divine power seemed to consolidate into one, surging and gradually devouring everything.
A pillar of black divine power and laws formed, shooting out. Kronos, facing this energy pillar, showed a trace of surprise.
But!
Just this moment of surprise was enough for Hades. There was no need for hesitation or doubt. When the roaring energy pillar struck Kronos, everything fell silent. The damage Kronos received was not much; such damage was nothing.
However!
The powerful pillar of energy formed by the convergence of laws and divine power caused Kronos to freeze momentarily, creating a crucial opportunity.
For Hades, this fleeting chance had to be seized. Following this...
All the other First-tier Hades began to act.
"Sad Song of Hades."
"Sad Song of Hades."
"Sad Song of Hades."
...
Once!
Twice!
Thrice!
Seven times!!!
Seven terrifying energy waves formed by the convergence of laws and divine power proved everything. In an instant, the towering energy pillars began to converge on Kronos.
Crack!
Crack!
With these crisp sounds, Kronos' divine body started to crack under the continuous barrage of energy pillars. Cracks appeared, but these were not significant.
The Underworld King Kronos, as an avatar of the Underworld's essence, would gradually heal any injuries while in the Underworld.
In fact.
The Underworld King, Heavenly Emperor, and Sea Emperor, once they reclaimed their essence, were essentially immortal in their own realms unless attacked by god-killing power. Or, if one could destroy the Mythical World, which was crucial.
However, this was theoretically possible but practically impossible. Hades knew this well, understanding the true significance.
"Father," Hades said quietly, "it's time to end this."
With the repeated energy barrages, Kronos' injuries grew more severe, and Hades' avatars gradually disappeared, leaving only the final three.
Each one's divine power had reached the peak of a Chief God. When the last three Hades formed a triadic battle formation again.
Kronos seemed to know what the outcome would be.
"Sad Song of Hades."
Still the same triadic battle formation, but at this moment, what Kronos once deemed insignificant helped Hades achieve victory.
At this moment, everything came to an end.
