章節 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?"

章節 260: Chapter 260: Forbidden Chapter

"What did you say!" Hades' indifferent eyes sitting on the throne made of corpse sharpened into focus, staring at Steppenwolf sitting proudly.

Becoming an independent individual with freedom, not becoming food for the True Body, is the ultimate desire of every divine avatar in every universe.

Including Steppenwolf, Highfather, and even Darkseid, who is desperate to find the Anti-Life Equation.

They all long to become free and independent individuals, even after the end of the universe, to still dominate their own will and freedom, and survive.

But what each divine avatar needs to break free from the main body, energy, and rules is different.

For example, Darkseid eternally pursues the Anti-Life Equation, as it gives him a chance to break free from the main body. Therefore, Darkseid in every universe will spare no effort to pursue the Anti-Life Equation.

This is not only about power but also about becoming oneself eternally free, even in death, to die according to one's own will.

But many divine avatars actually don't know what they need to break free from the true body and avoid becoming food for it.

Athena is an example. From the moment she was thrown into this universe, she has been searching in confusion, yearning, and hoping for a hope whose direction she doesn't even know.

She doesn't know what she needs to become independent from the main body, to become herself, to possess the will to control her own survival.

It's a pursuit without hope.

Even now, although she has placed her hope in H'el, she hasn't felt a glimmer of hope.

Although the pursuit of having independent control over one's survival is the ultimate desire of every divine avatar, there are also those who have long recognized the facts, don't resist at all, and live happily as their lives pass by.

The chaos and indulgence of the Olympus god system are the best examples. They truly enjoy their lives in this universe and dare to play all sorts of tricks.

Steppenwolf is also like this, but he places everything on Darkseid.

"You heard me right, do you crave freedom, Hades?"

Steppenwolf voice was deep, like the low roar of a lion, rare with a mixture of envy, anger, and sadness in his heart.

He envied Hades for clearly understanding what he needs to pursue to gain freedom.

And Steppenwolf himself is not clear about what he needs to chase to gain freedom; he can only rely on Darkseid.

Hades stood up abruptly from the corpse throne, his face filled with anger as he roared, "None of us can exist without longing!

Tell me what you know, Steppenwolf, or else I will bury you in this realm even if Darkseid comes!"

In an instant, the dark sky of the underworld churned with rolling dark clouds, as if the entire sky of the underworld was about to collapse, overwhelming every ghost and creature of the underworld.

This was his domain, Hades' underworld.

The entire underworld sky changed color, surging with Hades' anger.

Steppenwolf had completely enraged Hades. If Steppenwolf didn't say what Hades wanted to hear, he would bring about the burial of the entire underworld.

"Death comes in many forms, as release, as mercy, as pity.

Inevitable death.

There is a side of death that has always existed in this universe, across all universes." Steppenwolf's face remained expressionless as he continued in his imposing posture, seated on his throne.

"The last page of the Book of Oa, created by the Guardians of the Universe, there's a forbidden chapter that's called 'The Blackest Night,' which records a death force. It is a death power that's the opposite of life itself."

Hades' angry expression subsided, his black eyes turning as he said, "I know that a death force is recorded by the Guardians of the Universe, never explored by the gods who possess the authority of death.

After the end of the ancient cosmic war, I proposed to see this death force, but was rejected. The Guardians of the Universe left no room for negotiation."

"That's because this death force will destroy all life in the entire universe, returning everything to darkness. If you obtain it, it means the end of all life in this universe. The Guardians of the Universe will not let you have it," Steppenwolf said.

"Is that so? Then what does Darkseid want to do? I've heard that your Apokolips wants to attack Oa, destroy the center of the universe, and bring an end to this universe," Hades sat back on the corpse throne, sneering, his black eyes mocking Steppenwolf.

As a member of the Olympus Gods system, Hades, the ruler of the underworld, had always known that Earth was the center of the universe.

Darkseid's targeting of Oa was just a ploy by the Guardians of the Universe to divert attention and protect Earth.

This secret must never be revealed.

"Darkseid will definitely destroy this universe," Steppenwolf asserted firmly.

This was non-negotiable; Darkseid would undoubtedly destroy this universe. He would seek the Anti-Life Equation, the only hope for Darkseid in this universe. He would not give up.

"Hahaha... then why have you come to me again? Do you want me, Hades, to end my life in this universe prematurely to help Darkseid destroy it?" Hades laughed with a hint of sorrow.

This sorrow was something all divine incarnations couldn't escape.

"I'm just here on behalf of Darkseid to tell you one thing," Steppenwolf glanced at Hades and said lightly:

"Before the destruction of Oa, this death force will emerge before the universe is destroyed, harvesting all life in the universe."

Hades' sad smile faded, his black eyes constantly turning, his thoughts swirling.

What does this mean?

Both Steppenwolf and Hades understood.

It meant Hades had a chance to capture this death force, to obtain it, to become it.

It might be possible to achieve what all divine incarnations desperately desired—to become a being with true freedom and independent will.

"Join forces with Darkseid to attack Oa!" Steppenwolf said with determination. "You will get the death force you desire, and Darkseid will get the chance to enter the antimatter universe."

Hades fell into deep thought.

To be honest, as long as he didn't do anything stupid or cause any major changes, the universe's structure would remain the same; it was already fixed and unlikely to change significantly. Darkseid wouldn't easily conquer Oa either.

Maintaining the status quo until the end of the universe wouldn't be difficult.

But eventually, he would still die.

Now, Darkseid's side had presented him with a choice.

Should he wait until the end of the universe and die as food for the True Form, or should he join Darkseid in attacking Oa, seizing that mysterious and unpredictable force that is death force?

"I'll consider it," Hades said expressionlessly.

Steppenwolf chuckled.
