Chereads / Reincarnated As Hades / Chapter 5 - Kingdom Crisis

Chapter 5 - Kingdom Crisis

Suddenly, all students were summoned to the Academy garden and soon wore a shocked face. The Royal City, Athenta has been attacked by minor evil gods, and as Humanity's strongest warriors, the students must eliminate the evil gods.

The students were in misery, they had only mastered 40% of their god's powers during their 2 years at this Academy, yet they need to fight evil gods? Sure, they might be minor gods and the students had the powers of great gods but still, 40% is too low.

"Don't worry, all students will have a teacher by their side while fighting" The Teacher that was in front of the students shouted, reassuring the students of their fight with literal gods.

Of course, Klaus was not afraid, as he can already control his powers 100%.

"For now, return to your houses, we will be dispatched in 7 days, make sure to train during that time." The Teacher said, and soon after, the Academy was cleared.

...

"Are you sure it's okay to send them? Even if they're minor gods, they're still gods, their power can't be comprehended." A person said, presumably an instructor at the Academy.

"It's fine, they may get injured a bit but they will be able to defeat minor gods, plus, they have us at their side." A person said, the principal of the Academy.

The teacher sighed, before saying, "What would we do if they die?"

The principal chuckled, "Announce it as a sacrifice."

The teacher was disgusted as a smile slowly formed on the principal's face, giving him a mischievous look. Words couldn't describe how much the teacher wanted to neat the principal to a pulp, but he couldn't, the principal was a literal god, and a great one at that. So the teacher could only suppress his hatred.

...

Klaus was laying on his bed, deep into his thought, 'what if I can't beat a minor god? If it gets revealed that I am a god, and one of the three ruling gods at that, the entire world would go into an uproar'

Klaus removed the thoughts from his mind and instead began to exercise.

He did some pushups and stretches before leaving his house, and going to a dark alleyway, where he kept walking until he reached a forest, then started to train with his powers.

Klaus only tried his powers for one time, this time he has to train a lot if he wants to defeat a god, as he was sure they had better control over their abilities.

He first tested out Hellfire rays and shot a small condensed ray at a tree, and in a split second, the tree completely burned, not even leaving ashes, which resulted in an astonished Klaus.

He then tested thermal energy manipulation, He tried to produce heat from his palm, and it worked but only a small amount, equivalent to 48 degrees Celsius.

He then decided it was going to be a long day, and started training all of his powers, except wealth and Underworld authority.

...

The students were anxious, getting ready to fight gods, they needed to wear special armor, made of powerful metal that can't easily be destroyed. Klaus wore the armor and immediately shot a small ray at it, and surprisingly enough, it didn't melt or break, it had a few burn marks but it was powerful for sure.

Klaus and the students assembled at the Academy garden and headed out to Athenta.

....

As soon as the students arrived, they saw a horrifying scene, there was a blazing fire that spread fast, which reminded Klaus of the great London fire that he learned about in primary school, but nevertheless, it still brought misery upon him.

There were countless gods, in each corner of the city, each teacher took 1 student with them and set out for the battle.

"Huh? Where is Klaus?" A teacher asked, Klaus had seemingly disappeared, but they didn't have time to worry, as a fireball was shot at them, causing each student and teacher to get separated from the others.

…..

Klaus was running, running fast. He had heard the scream of a little girl, and a mischievous laugh. He hurried to the direction of the scream which led him to an alleyway where he found a young girl, presumably in the primary stage, holding a little boy in her arms as an ugly evil looking being was slashing at her with a knife, which tortured her, even more so as the knife was covered in a red evil energy.

Klaus immediately created a sword and jumped at the god then slashed him in his shoulder, which didn't even cause a small scratch. 'Huh?' Klaus thought. He should in theory be powerful enough to at least slice off the shoulder completely but instead, he did zero damage, though, he didn't have time to think as the god immediately punched Klaus In his stomach, and unexpectedly, a knife came out of the god's palm which pierced straight through Klaus' body, that on top of the punch's strength caused Klaus to get sent crashing into a nearby building.

Klaus bleeding, literally bleeding, He was confused, he shouldn't bleed. That's when it hit him, he didn't do much damage to the god, and now he was bleeding, could it be that in the presence of other gods, his abilities are weakened?

He immediately tore off the forearm of the armor and took a piece of his underwear, then used it to cover his wound. He was now like a normal human being, 'Universe, do you really need to do this to me?' Klaus Thought ( A/N: Yes)

He stood up while clenching his belly in pain, then created a massive fireball of underworld fire using 10% of the fire of the underworld, then threw it at the god. The throw caused a sonic boom as Klaus used all of his human plus godly strength to throw the fireball. Klaus limped over to the god and saw that the god was knocked out, with burn marks all over his body. 'Seems like even underworld fire gets weak when I touch it' He thought.

Klaus checked up on the little girl to ensure that she had no injuries, she did but only a few scratches. He picked up the little girl to send her to the medic Until he was interrupted by a not-so-friendly party.
