章節 78: Chapter 78: Hades: Father, Arrogance and Conceit Will Ultimately Backfire on You
Kronos' body was in tatters. Although it was recovering at a visible rate, the pace was too slow, and Kronos knew well that Hades would not give him the time to heal.
"Gahaha~~~"
With a bizarre laugh, dark purple skulls transformed into dark purple chains, crazily binding Kronos completely. With the addition of sealing laws, no matter how terrifying Kronos was, he could no longer move an inch.
After all, the Demon Star Chain had now fused with the four world chains of Heaven, Sea, Underworld, and Stars, coupled with its own sealing laws. In its current state, even an Ancient God would be unable to break free when severely injured.
Once the Demon Star Chain merges with the final Earth world chain, and in the future, if Hades' World Tree undergoes another transformation, then the world chain, passing through the stages of heaven and earth, water, fire, and wind, would reach a level where even a fully intact Ancient God would have to tread carefully.
One could say.
For Hades, other methods might not necessarily be trump cards, but it was certain that this innate divine artifact, the Demon Star, was one of his most crucial means. Everything else might be lost, but the Demon Star would never be lost.
The Demon Star Chain bound Kronos, and Hades' figure reappeared, his face pale, his divine power severely weakened. Using those avatars was not easy; it was a real cut of his divine power and laws.
In other words, if one of Hades' avatars were truly killed, it would cause him significant damage. Additionally, the cost to Hades himself was extremely high, an indisputable fact.
"Hades," Kronos, bound and suspended in mid-air, though weak, spoke calmly, "you are indeed outstanding. Unlike your brothers Poseidon and Zeus, you have achieved this without resorting to the Song of the Gods."
"Father," Hades' voice was equally calm, "arrogance and conceit will ultimately backfire on you. No matter who it is, facing arrogance and conceit, the result will always be the same."
"Hehehe~~~"
"Arrogance and conceit?" Kronos, with a faint smile, seemingly disdainful, said, "You might be right, Hades, but you do not truly understand the extent of my divine power."
"Heaven, Sea, Underworld—these are not necessarily enhancements for me, but rather shackles." Kronos paused for a moment before continuing.
Hades did not respond to this, only quietly saying, "Father, when you want to cross the abyss, the abyss is also quietly staring at you. This is an unchangeable truth."
"Indeed," Kronos nodded quietly, "then it should end now. I will be waiting for you in the Titan Temple. It's a pity, though, whether you can make it in time. Some things are almost over."
Hades listened quietly to his father's words, understanding well that his father had been taking that step all these years and was nearing the limit.
Hades knew that if they could not defeat his father before he truly took that step, then everything would be meaningless.
If the Titan King Kronos, who truly took that step, transcended the limitations of an Ancient God and reached the level of a Creator God, or even an Absolute God, then everything would indeed be meaningless.
Hades said no more, dragging his father into the Underworld. The Underworld was not safe; who knew what might happen there.
Moreover, in his current weakened state, if he couldn't handle the situation properly, numerous problems would arise, making his actions incredibly dangerous.
Yomi Hirazaka.
"This is..." Kronos, dragged into the Underworld, immediately saw the lush World Tree and the Heaven and Earth that were gradually taking shape—accurately, the Heaven and Earth that had already formed but had not yet fully materialized.
At this moment.
Kronos understood everything. He finally realized how his eldest son could break free from his constraints, stepping from being a Chief God to a Titan Chief God, and why he could achieve all he had.
"So that's it."
"So that's it."
"Indeed."
Kronos, with a tone of realization, said, "Hades, the Demon Star comes from the Sea of Chaos, and you used its power to forcibly traverse the Sea of Chaos, using a small world as the core to search for the world's power, forcibly incubating the world seed, and finally forming the World Tree, building your divine kingdom. This is how you achieved this step."
"Correct," Hades did not deny it, standing on Yomi Hirazaka, he said quietly, "Father, just as you said."
Kronos continued, "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares back at you."
"I succeeded," Hades said calmly.
"Hehehe~~~"
Kronos laughed and praised, "Hades, you are indeed remarkable. Your actions are extraordinarily brilliant. Even I must admit that you have prepared everything thoroughly."
After a moment.
Kronos looked deeply at Hades, saying quietly, "Hades, you know well that I am merely an avatar representing the Underworld King. When I die, all memories will return to the main body. Aren't you planning to hide all this?"
Hades shook his head and continued, "Father, your essence will not return. Everything about you will dissipate, and my secrets will not be exposed."
"Hmm?"
Kronos furrowed his brow, puzzled by Hades' words. But he knew his eldest son well, especially since he was an avatar of the Underworld King's power. He understood Hades' character.
Hades would not lie or exaggerate, so...
Breakups, moving houses, rest, no interruptions in updates, regular updates will resume tomorrow.
