Chapter 143 - Underworld War: Part 3

--- Chapter 143 ---

"This is going to take a while." Minamoto no Raikou slayed Hades's subordinate with her katana, ripping through a wave of reincarnated devils.

She breathed out and watched the neverending horde of the enemy stepping out from a hole. She frowned and contacted Huo Yuhao about this, telling the blue-haired young man to check it.

"I'll be there in a moment." Huo Yuhao casually responded while facing Hades. The God of the Dead, one of the Trinity Gods of Olympus.

Even though Huo Yuhao faced the Biblical God in the Great War before, the concept of divinity in this world is very vague. Is it the origin of all things or the literal embodiment of it?

Hades is not weak.

He possessed the power of 2nd Class God based on Douluo Dalu's standard, but something about him was weird. According to Eluxia, Hades's Origin Soul is far different than other divine beings.

It's not related to death, for sure.

"Blue-Eyed Dragon, no Bat God. What the hell do you think? Do you think my place is so simple to attack?" Hades suddenly screams, making Huo Yuhao smile a little.

Huo Yuhao crossed his arms and returned, "Don't play dumb with me, Hades. You not only imprisoned Lilith and used her for your disgusting personal gain! No way in hell Devil will leave you alone."

"I, the Supreme Ruler of the Devils, declared war against the God of the Dead, Hades!"

Hades's burning eyes flickered and laughed because a mere leader of bats dared to threaten him. He lifted the skeleton staff and whispered a magic spell, causing the space to warp around them.

Huo Yuhao flicked his fingers and canceled the magic spell, creating a spider web-like crack in the air. He twisted his left hand slightly and used Chaos God Slayer Magic to swarm Hades with demonic-powered light.

BOOM!

Hades frowned because Huo Yuhao had canceled his magic twice at this point. He thought the first cancellation was a fluke as the magic circle couldn't form in time.

'Huo Yuhao, or what these disgusting bats knew as Ars Goetia, probably possessed all the devil clan's abilities. That includes Lucifer's powers and Belial's troublesome Worthless.' He dodged the demonic-powered light and got caught off guard when bullet-like energy pierced his shoulder.

BAM!

Hades staggered on the spot and cursed, "Damn bat... He used a blindspot in these flurry of attacks."

Unknown to Hades, Huo Yuhao was never serious about his offense and lowered his overall strength. He didn't use anything special besides Chaos God Slayer Magic, powered by his True Daemon's demonic power.

Not to mention, Huo Yuhao still sealed his power.

Hades was about to prepare another magic spell and felt a breeze on his left side. Scathach struck Soul Breaking Spear into Zeno's skull and killed the grim reaper permanently, destroying the soul of Hades's subordinate.

"Y-You..." Hades was angered when seeing this.

Scathach pulled the black spear from Zeno's skull and commented, "This is not fun. Bring me a stronger opponent, Hades."

"I, Scathach, demanded a joyful battle."

Hearing that, Hades released a massive divine aura and made the Realm of the Dead tremble violently. His skeleton staff shone brightly with purple light, causing Scathach to smile a little.

"Grim Curse..." A magical scythe appeared and slashed the air near Scathach.

Scathach tilted her head and sensed something spiritual from Hades's attack, kicking the Soul Breaking Spear at him.

BAM! CLANK!

Hades placed the skeleton staff and received the Soul Breaking Spear with defensive magic.

Crack!

The defensive magic cracked because of the sheer pressure, but that wasn't enough to make Hades nervous. He added another divine-powered magic spell and sent the spear back at Scathach.

"Gravity Cannon!"

Scathach caught the Soul Breaking Spear and watched the air around them shaking. She breathed in, feeling an invisible force sweep over the area like a tsunami.

BOOM!

The invisible force also swept everyone in a one-kilometer radius, attacking foe and friend blindly. This attack also scattered the devil army to different places in the Realm of the Dead, separating every group randomly,

Scathach quickly called for her Gae Bolg Alternative and struck the ground firmly, not allowing a gravity cannon to push her away. She used Universal Breathing Technique and manifested a white half-mask on her face.

Hades lifted the skeleton staff and declared, "Pluto, Thanatos kill that purple-haired wench for me!"

"Yes, Hades-sama!" Two cloaked grim reapers appeared from thin air.

"Oh, two-on-one now? Well, It becomes pretty interesting." Scathach stretched her hand, grabbing the black and red spears to fight Hades's Subordinate.

BAM!

Scathach kicked the ground and appeared on Thanatos's side, thrusting an intent-powered red spear at the grim reaper's chest. We are talking about one hit kill spear thrust.

"Gae Bolg."

BOOOOM!

Pluto reacted instinctively to save his fellow grim reaper and placed a scythe on Scathach's spear path. He underestimated the power of Scathach's Gae Bolg.

Hades's eyes widened in realization.

"That spear!" He shouted in horror.

"Thanatos, abandon your body now!"

"Too late." Scathach's Gae Bolg Alternative flew through Pluto's Scythe and pierced through Thanatos's chest, placing a deadly curse on the grim reaper.

Thanatos was struck clean into a wall, coughing blood profusely because of a thorn-like sensation spreading from his chest. He couldn't breathe nor utilize his grim reaper's power too.

"1st Spirit Ring: Immortality Severing." Scathach clenched her hand into a fist, causing nine red spirit rings to manifest on her back.

"ARGH!" Thanatos screamed, trying his best to survive this torture.

However, it was a futile attempt.

Scathach now is far different compared to her past self.

She grew stronger after meeting Huo Yuhao and developed a compact of deadly techniques to secure her victory. So, No matter what or who her enemy is, she'll slay them with her spear.

Her first spirit ring alone allowed her to sever one's immortality and caused cursed wounds.

The cultivation of Douluo Dalu's Universe boosted Scathach's former strength to a greater height, allowing her to do many things she couldn't do in the past. It's starting with new martial arts and an undiscovered field of magecraft.

"Is the Celtic Faction also part of this attack?" Hades grumbled while glaring at Scathach. He finally recognized the famous god-slaying weapon wielded by Warrior Queen Scathach.

Everyone believed the legendary treasure weapon had disappeared alongside the owner, knowing Scathach didn't have a descendant or disciple to pass it away. Hades also heard a strange rumor that Gae Bolg had the same value as True Longinus.

"Drive her to Cocytus!" Hades ordered his grim reaper.

"We can't let someone with Gae Bolg escape the Realm of the Dead. It would be a vital mistake and error for our plan later."

Pluto nodded and approached Scathach solemnly, having jet-black energy covering his body. He picked up the death scythe and clashed with Scathach.

BOOM!

Scathach was amused and countered every move from Pluto. She pulled out a new Gae Bolg Alternative and started to play around with this grim reaper, moving far away to the Realm of the Dead.

Hades sighed in relief, forgetting something important.

"You shouldn't have forgotten about me, Hades." Huo Yuhao suddenly grabbed Hades's shoulder. "What makes you so confident and arrogant to move your eyes from your opponent."

"Huh?"

Hades felt an unknown pressure and groaned in pain, having Huo Yuhao's willpower overwhelm everyone in the area. It's not a simple presence but a declaration of a true ruler.

Huo Yuhao's Conqueror Haki flared like no tomorrow, flooding every corner of the Realm of the Dead. No one could move as they could sense a literal Death on their neck.

Hades shivered and gazed into Huo Yuhao's eyes, feeling something weird in his head. "How..." He suddenly whispered in fear.

"This is impossible."

"Just what are you??"

Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "Well, that's not important for someone who is going to die soon."

"I had to say... You're quite strong, Hades."

"But not strong enough."

Releasing his seals, Huo Yuhao caused the Realm of the Dead to become wrecked ships. His power exploded through the roof and alarmed everyone in the area.

"Die, Hades." He grabbed Hades's neck and lifted him.

Hades abruptly laughed and dropped his skeleton staff, having one brief moment before his death.

"Me, Die? What a joke."

"I'm not alone here, Bat God."

Huo Yuhao slapped something because his Observation Haki weirdly reacted.

BAM!

Hades was released from Huo Yuhao's grasp, hovering in the air with a weird-looking book. There are also two individuals with Super Devil's aura rivaling Grayfia Lucifuge before her martial soul awakening.

"They are... Artificial Devils?" Huo Yuhao commented while looking at his hand. A faint demonic power was "weirdly." left behind by the new subordinate of Hades.

The first Super Devil is a muscular youth with bronze hair.

The other Super Devil is a girl in her late teens with long jade-green hair.

"Why are you two taking so long?" Hades indifferently questioned.

The muscular youth kept an emotionless face and replied, "Sorry, Master. We have to fight the Chaos Karma Dragon on the way here. She is stronger than I expected, so I had to use 30% of my power."

The teen girl nodded and added, "Yes, Yes. Fighting Tiamat is a lot of surprises."

Huo Yuhao tried to contact Tiamat using telepathy but couldn't gain any response from the other side. He used his divine sense and saw a blue-scaled Dragon with a hole in her chest.

...

...

"Oy..." Huo Yuhao's voice is unbearably cold for some reason.

"Grit your teeth."

Hades, Balberith, and Verrine gasped on the spot. They couldn't muster the strength to stand up properly, feeling a heavy weight on their bodies.

Huo Yuhao walked to Balberith and punched the artificial Super Devil in the guts. Hades blinked and watched his long-created product turn into blood mist.

"Hakai..." The Concept of Destruction erased Balberith from existence

Verrine mindlessly stared at her brother getting killed instantly and felt the warm blood running down her face. Huo Yuhao doesn't even stare at her eyes, but those devilish eyes seem to kill her over a thousand times.

"Stop." A firm hand grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand.

Huo Yuhao glanced at the person, seeing a handsome young man appearing in his mid-twenties with black hair. He wears a black cloak, and his body gives out a dark aura.

"Erebus!" Hades shouted the handsome young man's name.

Erebus stared at Huo Yuhao and said, "Stop Blue-Eyed Dragon. It's your defeat."

"I don't care about your motive, but hell isn't a place you can invade so easily. As long as I'm still patient, I order you to retreat with your army."

"Oh, but... I wanted that red-eyed woman with Gae Bolg to stay. She killed one of my creations."

"Are you done?" Huo Yuhao returned indifferently.

"Hmm?" Erebus tilted his head.

"I see... Just another insect to kill." Huo Yuhao lifted Erebus's hand and caused the Primordial God of Darkness to furrow his brow. His other hand grasped Erebus's face and slammed him to the ground.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The sheer strength Huo Yuhao used to slam the Primordial God was enough to shake the whole Realm of Hades.

Erebus never felt so humiliated and wanted to pay Huo Yuhao back by killing him with a dark spear.

CRACK!

The spear made of darkness shattered upon meeting Huo Yuhao's skin.

"WHAT??!"

[The Child of Genesis was in effect]

[Reduce Darkness Elemental Attack by 90%]

"Harden your face." Huo Yuhao lifted his feet off the ground.

BOOM!

Huo Yuhao kicked Erebus and sent him to the upper domain, shaking Mount Olympus. Several gods approached the source and saw The Primordial God of Darkness, Erebus, with a broken jaw and disfigured face.

He grinned coldly and turned around, "Don't worry."

"Hades, you'll follow him soon."
