Capítulo 259: Chapter 259: Hades
The Divine Realm, Sea of Death.
This is a Sea of Death created by the leakage of deathly aura from the Underworld, vast and endless, where the pitch-black waters, contaminated by the death aura year after year, churn with the corpses of creatures tainted by death.
The Sea of Death is connected to the territory of New Krypton in the divine realm. In fact, this Sea of Death also belongs to the territorial waters of New Krypton.
However, it was contaminated by the aura of the underworld a long time ago, and grotesque undead monsters emerge frequently. Ordinary life forms cannot survive here, so New Krypton uses this place as a training ground.
A squad of New Krypton's magical legion warriors wield colorful elemental magic energy as they battle invading undead fish along the coast of the Sea of Death.
The abundant energy around them begins to fluctuate unstably.
"What's this?" A warrior of the magical legion looked up and saw white vortexes of air currents twisting and gathering, seeming to be on the verge of erupting into something.
"Back off! Back off! Activate the protective barrier, activate the concealment magic, report to the higher-ups, there's an anomaly at the border of the Sea of Death!" The captain of this thirty-man team quickly issued combat orders, and the entire team skillfully activated concealment magic, hiding their figures and sending a message to the Magic Academy.
Boom!
With a boom, the white vortexes in the sky churned, and at the center of the vortex, a rift in space gradually formed.
A pair of war-worn boots, stained with the blood of countless battles, gradually descended, clad in bloodthirsty and sturdy iron armor. A huge axe of earth-shattering proportions was held in his hand, and his bloody cloak floated half-black and half-crimson, until his entire figure descended from the Boom Tube.
"The Divine Realm is still as difficult to enter as ever."
The Steppenwolf descended from the Boom Tube, his body clad in armor, exuding a domineering and bloody aura. He surveyed his surroundings and saw the hidden squad of the New Krypton magical legion.
These crude magical concealment effects were like child's play in the presence of powerful beings like him.
Upon seeing the emblem of New Krypton, Steppenwolf immediately recalled unpleasant memories. A sense of frustration flashed in his eyes as he casually swung his axe, tearing through the air to create a massive air blade, slashing towards the concealed squad of the magical legion.
"Scatter, everyone run for your lives!" The captain of the magical legion squad issued orders in panic. He recognized the enemy as the first-tier powerful being recorded in the army's enemy database, possessing the power to destroy stars. They were no match for such a powerful force as this training magical squad.
The protective barrier constructed by the members of the magical squad was torn apart like paper by the air blade wielded by Steppenwolf. With a speed they couldn't react to, the air blade cut down twenty people, leaving only ten trying to escape. However, with a cold snort from the evil New God, their hearts exploded like thunder, and they died on the spot from heart ruptures.
The Boom Tube slowly disappeared into the sky.
With a slightly irritable and suffocating anger, Steppenwolf turned his head towards the Sea of Death, his eyes flashing with contemptuous coldness, and roared towards the Sea of Death, "Hades, open your gates of death and welcome my visit.
Don't make me go to the Gates of Hell myself and kick your dog."
Steppenwolf roared wildly, his voice causing huge waves in the Sea of Death, waves of ink-black seawater rolling over a kilometer high, forming a tsunami.
The sea surface of the Sea of Death was swept by raging waves, and the clouds changed color.
However, soon, the tsunami caused by his roar subsided, and the Sea of Death continued to emit a chilling, calm atmosphere as usual.
The aura of death was gradually drawn out from the seawater of the Sea of Death, forming a huge face on the sea surface, with a hooked nose and deep eye sockets, eyes filled with darkness staring at Steppenwolf, cracking a sneering smile:
"What a rare guest. Steppenwolf, there is no connection between Olympus and the Apokolips. What do you intend by activating the ancient war coordinates passed down to the divine realm?"
The magnificent face formed by the aura of death appeared on the Sea of Death and spoke.
"It's not the Apokolips seeking Olympus, but I, representing Darkseid, have come to find you."
Steppenwolf slammed his axe heavily into the ground, his chest held high, curling his lips meaningfully.
He was just here to find Hades.
It wasn't a meeting between two factions.
Understanding the meaning behind Steppenwolf's words, the face of Hades on the surface of the Sea of Death hesitated for a moment, squinting his black eyes and looking at Steppenwolf with a fearless gaze.
After a moment of silence, Hades finally said, "Come in."
Hades was curious.
Curious about what Steppenwolf, representing Darkseid, wanted from him.
In terms of strength, he was not the strongest in the Olympus god system, and in terms of intelligence, many things could be guessed at this stage by everyone involved.
It was probably about his identity and authority.
He slightly thought it might be related to his identity as the God of Underworld, but Hades still wanted to see what Steppenwolf intended to do.
Hades's face turned into black smoke on the sea surface, forming a dark vortex that led to the gates of hell.
Steppenwolf, without hesitation, hoisted his axe onto his shoulder and stepped into the dark vortex created by Hades.
The darkness slowly disappeared from the Sea of Death.
A gateway to hell, engraved with terrifying scenes of all beings, slowly opened heavily.
Steppenwolf ignored Cerberus, who was hiding in the corner with his six dog eyes, and strode straight into the gateway.
Normally, after entering the Gates of Hell, there would be a rushing black river of pain, but Hades manipulated the Gates of Hell, so as soon as Steppenwolf entered, he arrived directly between the Elysian Fields and Tartarus, where a magnificent palace stood on the gray plain.
It was the residence of Hades, the King of the Underworld, and Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld.
"What a spacious palace."
Steppenwolf smirked, hoisting his axe and walking through the palace gates.
When Steppenwolf mentioned the spacious palace, what he actually meant was that only Hades lived here.
Persephone had long been sacrificed by Hades in the ancient cosmic war, used to block the cannons of Kryptonian warships.
Entering the hall of the palace, Steppenwolf saw Hades sitting on a giant corpse.
The terrified head of the corpse wailed, its legs serving as a chair, its wrists stretched open by black iron chains.
Hades leaned against the corpse, his deep eye sockets containing a pair of all-black eyes with a disdainful gaze directed at the approaching Steppenwolf.
Although this was Hades' domain, Steppenwolf was not polite, taking a seat without ceremony, and facing Hades without losing his aura, said:
"Hades, do you want true freedom?"
