Chapter 38 - Chapter 37: Chaos in the underworld

(Note: I like Hades but for that fanfic, I decided to paint him in somewhat of a bad light, Sorry Hades you are the best Greek god in my opinion.)

...

The underworld was divided into various sectors, the circle of judgment, the circle of the eternal burning pit, the circle of torture, and many other places.

Other than the place where the wicked were punished there are also places where those who lived a virtuous life were rewarded, but the most important place of the underworld is its center, the capital, where Hades resided alongside many underworld gods.

Hades was standing in front of a massive window in his massive black castle, the red sun of the underworld illuminated his tired and wrinkled face. Even now anyone could see from his features that he must have been extremely handsome in the past.

Unfortunately, the actual god of the underworld was a somewhat bloated man, his once beautiful dark mane was now oily and dirty, and his tired and puffy eyes seemed to hold nothing but contempt and bitterness.

Usually, he would be wasting away in his throne room or in his bedroom complaining to his wife, lamenting his fate, and cursing his brothers for tricking him into ruling the underworld.

Today however was different, today something had pushed him to come to that window where he had a good view of the realm he hated that much.

Since the morning his long dulled senses had been screaming at him to be prepared for something but after a long time, he sighed before taking a long sip of ambrosia.

"There is nothing! Of course, there is nothing!" 

With that he walked away from the window "It's not the first time that my mind has played tricks on me,"

And yet it was at that moment that heard something tear through the sky and earth of the underworld. 

"Bramm, Buzz,"

Turning around he saw a massive thunderstrike destroying everything in its wake before crashing not far away from his location.

"Zeus?!" he growled in anger as veins bulged on his face.

'That cunt dare to attack my realm, why!? Does he want a war? Did he decide to take it from me too!'

Many ideas flashed through his mind in an instant, the relationship between them had never been good and it had only worsened over the years due to various reasons so he quickly arrived at one conclusion.

"This is a declaration of war!"

Not only Zeus was the only one capable of using thunder-based attacks he also felt his brother's energy behind it.

Looking ahead he saw the power behind that thunderous attack that only Zeus was capable of. 

He saw a massive burning scar extending from the border of his realm to its center, not only the ground was destroyed but even a hole had been torn in the space separating the different circles of the underworld.

He could now feel how the boundaries of the different circles were merging.

'The barriers were destroyed!' Hades constated, under his eyes the different circles started to overlap and chaos unfolded, not only the infrastructures were colliding but the souls of the dead started to revolt as they saw the opportunity to escape.

"Well done! Very well done!" Hades raged as he felt chaos unfold in his realm 

"Boom," 

Before he could even start to fix the problem Typhoon's massive frame shot out from the hole laughing heartily. 

"Finally I'm free, Hahahaha..."

His dark green energy shouted out in every direction, while his miasma started to sip out of his body. 

Even in the underworld saturated with the gloomy energy of death Typhoon's repulsive energy was noticeably darker and creepier.

"Typhoon,"

"This is Typhoon the god eater!" 

"Run..."

 In an instant, the underworld was in an uproar as the gods that had come to see what was going on started to escape in all directions.

"You aren't going anywhere," Typhoon bellowed as he started to tear into the crowd of fleeing gods.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

In his castle, Hades observed that chaos with greeted teeth, in an instant a dark armor appeared on his body as stood straighter.

With his right hand, he grabbed a bidden who shot toward him before his helmet appeared in his left hand, his powerful energy swept through the underworld reassuring its inhabitant.

"What's happening?" Persephone the beautiful goddess of the underworld came running, his green hair and dark golden robe swayed in the wind.

"We are under attack, I need to go," Hades said putting on his helmet and disappearing from her view. 

Typhoon's massive frame moved at an incredible speed, and everywhere he moved destruction and death followed.

The monster that was Typhoon was slaughtering gods and everything on its path while feasting on their bodies.

'Haa, my powers are coming back, slowly but surely, This accursed Maeron just gave me enough to regain a fraction of my former strength, I need more,' 

While thinking that the memory of Maeron putting him on his knees replayed in his mind fueling his anger and determination.

'I will devour him too!'

'Danger!'

His senses screamed at him when he was about to reap another life.

In an instant, he jumped away. 

"Slash, Splurt," 

Typhoon looked as his left arm flew away before crashing into a nearby house, the part that had been cut of was slowly burning by a dark flame, slowly consuming his limb.

"Well, well, well, if it's not the great Hades himself"

"You look awful and weaker! Hahaha..."

Typhoon mocked as he saw the current appearance of the king of the underworld. Not only his appearance had deteriorated but he could see that even his strength too had waned.

"You disgusting monster you dare to invade my domain. You won't be leaving here alive!"

Hades completely disappeared after leaving those words. 

Typhoon knew that there was no way for him to find Hades after he disappeared particularly with how weakened he is. 

But he also knew that Hades too was weaker.

"If you were in your prime I would already be dead, but you are but a shadow of your former self.

Typhoon jumped to the side avoiding another attack but a burning slash appeared on his shoulder, but using his miasma he managed to extinguish those flames. 

When his instinct warns him from another attack Typhoon manages to retaliate after enduring the strike of the bident.

'I hit him!' Typhoon rejoiced feeling how his massive strikes managed to touch Hades that was cloaked by his helmet kynee.

Soon the place turned into a massive battleground for the two, although they were both considerably weaker than in their primes they were still miles above most gods and the capital of the underworld became a ruin in barely a few minutes of this battle. 

The massive frame of Typhoon continually attempted to avoid the attacks of his invisible enemy while launching counterattacks when the opportunity presented itself.

'It can't go on like that,'

Typhoon initially thought that he would be able to kill and devour Hades, he had already devoured many gods and his strength was returning to him, but the more they fought the more he noticed it.

'He too is regaining strength too, it is unfortunate,'

Typhoon's body was a mare with scars and burns, if had his full strength killing Hades wouldn't have been too difficult after all the last time they fought all the children of Chronos had to join forces to defeat him.

'Things seem to have calmed down a bit. They are coming, Good.'

Typhoons started to grow in size while at the same time glowing green, soon the massive form of the god eater surpassed that of a Titan.

 Hades using that opportunity launched powerful attacks that inflicted large injuries on the glowing figure. 

At the same time, Hades ordered the space around them to warp and from there the judge, Hecatoncrite and powerful gods of the underworld appear around him.

"Sir as you ordered we managed to somewhat regain control of the situation..." 

The gods wanted to make a rapport when Hades cut him of

"Not now, he is preparing something, quickly join me, he is still weak we can use that opportunity to destroy him," Hades said 

 Following his order they started their attack when

"Too late!" the voice of the monster towering above them resounded. 

"Poof," 

Under their eyes, the glowing form of Typhoon broke apart before being shot out in all directions.

"What is he doing!" Tanatos said 

"He is splitting, running away," another responded

Under the terrified eyes of the inhabitants of the underworld, a green rain fell on every corner of the underworld.

"Its-Its blood!" someone realized 

"No, it is not, it's poison," someone else screamed soon they felt their skin burning like acid. 

Soon the blood turned into poison gas, while some part of Typhoon that crashed on the house turned into beasts of all kinds snakes, beetles, arachnids, and other creatures of nightmares that pounced on everything alive or dead, even souls were devoured. 

"ARGHHH..." 

Hades let out a scream of pure rage melted with the screams of fear of his people as he saw the chaos that had just been fixed by the guardians of the underworld crumble once more while another wave of chaos was unleashed in his realm.
