Chapter 144 - Underworld War: Last Part

--- Chapter 144 ---

Huo Yuhao was annoyed.

He was also a little bit pissed.

Even though Huo Yuhao planned everything and confidently believed in his army's abilities, the opposing forces somehow could counter the devil army.

Of course, everything would be over if Huo Yuhao used his strength from the beginning and went ham on Hades. However, that would be a pointless attempt to show Devil Race's Merits.

That's why Scathach tries to enjoy the fight despite lowering her strength to an awful level. Her spear strikes literally could blow the Realm of the Dead in chaos, which is a big no-no.

After the Underworld War, the Devil Race's training program needed to be changed.

"Don't worry..."

"Hades, You'll follow that insect soon." Huo Yuhao indifferently sighed, staring at the terrified Hades flatly.

"Good for you because I'll break this place apart..."

Huo Yuhao summoned the Chains of Heaven, mentally commanding a thousand black chains with ancient golden characters to destroy Hades's realm from the ground to every corner of this place.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

The realm of the Dead violently trembled as if a massive earthquake had happened in this place. With half his seals released, Huo Yuhao doesn't hold back and flattens everything related to Hades.

Hades' ritual altar.

Hades's Shrine.

Hades Castle.

Even Hades's small garden.

Hades watched everything he had built become flat land, falling to the ground in despair. He couldn't say anything because Huo Yuhao could kill him anytime with this ridiculous power. Those chains' presence is enough to make Hades tremble like his existence is being ripped apart by just standing near them.

Chains of Heaven destroyed not only the ground but also the personal space Hades created in the past years. Any magic barrier becomes useless because Huo Yuhao's 1st Spirit Ring on Chain of Heaven is Spatial Manipulation and Wormhole, so breaking the space is the first thing he learned when getting this Spirit Ring from Quest's Reward.

The devils, who survived Hades's Magic, stared at this scenery with dumbfounded looks. They couldn't believe their eyes because something like this was beyond common sense. Yes, even in the supernatural world's standard.

In the first place, only some individuals could realistically destroy the Realm of the Dead. And they are either god-class or monstrous being like Ophis.

They always saw Huo Yuhao as a tyrannical and cold ruler with incredible strength, but this was the first time the devil could figure out the mark of his greatness. A clear peek into his full power.

After destroying everything related to Hades, Huo Yuhao ordered one Chain of Heaven to wrap around the God of the Dead's neck.

"KUUGH!" Hades groaned in surprise.

He tried to fight back the Chains of Heaven's effect with his divine aura, but it was useless. Chains of Heaven is an Anti-Divine weapon that holds the concept of "Reign over the Gods." the strength and durability of the chain grow stronger with the target having higher Divinity.

Huo Yuhao developed and molded the Chains of Heaven to become the ultimate binding weapon, suppressing everything. Yes, he wasn't satisfied with just subduing Divine Beings. He wanted more than that because his enemy won't be just a god.

There are thousands of monsters with world-destroying strength without any divinity outside there.

Hades began to feel his Divinity getting suppressed and weakened as he was only a magician. Without Divine Aura, he lost or debuffed his magic spell by 200%.

He might have some powerful magic spell, but they wouldn't be able to touch Huo Yuhao. And Erebus's attack was nullified by Huo Yuhao.

"T-This..." Hades groaned on the ground.

"Y-You devoured my magical energy too!"

Huo Yuhao glanced at Hades and replied, "I have quite a big stomach, you see? I can't let you die so easily too, so let Taotie have its meal."

[You have absorbed Hades's Magical Energy]

[You have absorbed Hades's Magical Energy]

[You have absorbed Hades's Magical Energy]

[You have absorbed...]

"Anyway, How is her situation, Kuroka?" Huo Yuhao contacted the black-haired Nekoshou through telepathy.

Kuroka checked Tiamat's condition and replied, "She's okay, the wounds might be big, but her regenerative power is working perfectly."

"It would take 1-2 weeks to cover a hole in her chest, though."

Hearing that, Huo Yuhao shouldn't have killed Balberith so easily and tortured the artificial devil a bit more. He clicked his tongue in annoyance and continued, "Kuroka, accelerate her healing factor with Senjutsu."

Kuroka's eyes widened and nodded, starting to flow Senjutsu Energy from her body to the Blue-Scaled Western Dragon. Even though she wasn't as skilled as Huo Yuhao, she understood more than enough foundation to do this.

After confirming Tiamat's condition, Huo Yuhao overwhelmed the Realm of the Dead with his Conqueror Haki. He stunned enemies that don't have a strong will, breaking their desire to fight. And for the artificial devil who was just recently born, it's very effective.

BOOM!

Hades's skull cracked because Huo Yuhao's presence was much stronger than any Gods he knew. He clenched his jaws, waiting for backups to come.

Erebus is defeated, but Hades has three more powerful Gods as his allies.

"Shishou, finish that rat soon. You can have a better fight here." Huo Yuhao casually commented while sensing three decently-strong presences coming toward him.

He has Leviathan Axe on his back and Guardian Shield ready on his left wrist, ready to sabotage ambush attack. His Haki must have been a danger alert to these guys.

BOOM!

The space cracked and revealed three god-like beings.

"I see... They are your little friends, huh?" He said while observing Hades's allies.

First is a phantom humanoid creature with a jet-black body, a muscular build, glowing fire-like eyes, and horns on his head. His body also gives out a chaotic aura.

The second ally is a hundred meters sphere with numerous eyes and tentacles. This guy's body gives an unbelievable aura, and his presence also gives out a dark mist.

And last, a beautiful young woman with the cute face of a child, long black hair, and pointy ears. She wears a cute frilly dress. Her body also gives out a tremendous dark aura like Erebus. Well, they are obviously related.

"Hades... What a worthless appearance you had there." Angra Mainyu, the phantom humanoid, said while gazing at Hades.

Tartarus stayed in his position without uttering a word and focused on Huo Yuhao. Unlike other gods in the field, he could feel immense danger coming from this blue-haired young man. It's faint, but his innate aura is weirdly similar to Ophis and Great Red.

"Where is Erebus..." Nyx looked around to find her brother. She couldn't discover nor feel his presence in the Realm of the Dead.

"Your brother is up there." Huo Yuhao lifted his finger. "I kicked his annoying face to the upper world, probably Mount Olympus."

"..." Hades.

"..." Angra Mainyu.

"..." Tartarus.

Nyx moved her gaze to Huo Yuhao and returned, "Why did you say?"

Huo Yuhao grinned and repeated, "I kicked your insect-like brother to the sky. He's so annoying, even threatening me to retreat and give my beloved Shishou to him."

Nyx used Magic: Blink and appeared on Huo Yuhao's side, ready to blast him away with her darkness. However, Huo Yuhao lifted his elbow and slammed her face.

"You-!" Nyx trembled in anger.

BAM!

"Too slow, Kid." Huo Yuhao kicked Nyx's left rib before she could even finish her word.

Angra Mainyu charged toward Huo Yuhao, preparing Light Magic and Dragon Slaying Magic. A weakness of Huo Yuhao because he was a Dragon God and also Devil God.

Still, Angra Mainyu forgot something.

Huo Yuhao wasn't just Dragon God or Devil God. These are merely the title of his true self.

"Light Dragon Slayer Magic: Evil Banishment." Angra Mainyu let out a white light. It traveled toward Huo Yuhao so fast and illuminated the area.

BOOOOOM!

A cloud of dust flew everywhere, but Huo Yuhao still stood on the spot without any injuries. He brushed the dust off his clothes and heard Evo's notifications.

[You have resisted Angra Mainyu's Attack]

[All Light Elements nullified by Child of Genesis's Passive]

True Ruler of Dragons' Perk has nullified 75% of Dragon Slayer Magic]

[Solomon Blessing has absorbed excessive Magical Energy]

"IMPOSSIBLE!!" Angra Mainyu shouted in disbelief.

"My magic is a literal archnemesis to you!!!"

"Well, you clearly don't know anything about me." Huo Yuhao commanded the Chains of Heaven to seal Angra Mainyu's movement, sealing the Evil God of Persian Mythology in place.

CRACK!

The gravity around Angra Mainyu increased by 200%, locking him there until Huo Yuhao allowed him to move. It caused the ground to crack and left a dent.

"Don't look down on me!" Nyx furiously charged her magical power and divine aura into this attack. Darkness began to form a spiral current in the area and swallowed everything before it.

She looked at Huo Yuhao and shouted, "DIE!"

Nyx laughed madly because Huo Yuhao wouldn't be able to survive this attack. She wanted to see his frightened and despairing expression.

Huo Yuhao doesn't even bother to stare at Nyx's expression and waits for Scathach to appear. The spiral of darkness was about to swallow him, but it abruptly disappeared into nothingness.

SWOOSH!

Nyx's attack was "literally." replaced with thin air.

"N-No way..."

"My Darkness..."

"It's not even worth absorbing..." Huo Yuhao's cold eyes gazed at Nyx.

Nyx dropped to the ground and saw an ax stabbing her chest, freezing her in solid ice. Her expression is priceless, showing one's despair and the loser's will.

"Dragon God, let's peacefully settle this matter. I'll show you Lilith's place and Hades's laboratory." Tartarus suddenly said. "I allied with Hades because we have a common enemy, a rampant Longinus User. So, fighting you weren't part of my promise."

"Too late, you stand on his side. You're my enemy." Huo Yuhao responded emotionlessly.

"And don't worry. I won't fight you, Tartarus."

"Someone is on her way here to beat the shit out of you."

BOOM!

Scathach destroyed the ground and ascended with blood wings on her back. She saw Tartarus and immediately dragged the Primordial God of Abyss into her domain, a killing ground of warrior queens.

Huo Yuhao walked to Hades and dragged the Chains of Heaven with his hand, pulling the God of the Dead to the upper realm. He walked there and tortured Hades with a burning Thunderfire.

It was a slow burn, turning Hades's soul into ash gradually.

Hades's cries could be heard in the entire Realm of the Dead, praying for forgiveness. And Huo Yuhao ignored him.

"Oh, river? I hope you can swim, Hades." Huo Yuhao kicked Hades to the Styx River, drowning him with a burning sensation that never disappears because Thunderfire is a flame that burns all evils.

After several minutes, Huo Yuhao finally arrived on the border between the Realm of the Dead and Earth(Greece). He could see a temple and dragged Hades with a smile on his face.

Everyone stared at them but couldn't move for some reason. It's fear.

Huo Yuhao arrived at Mount Olympus and saw several Gods dropping from the sky. "What a warm welcome I have here?" He greeted them while tossing half-dead Hades to the ground.

BAM!

"Hades has been proven to imprison Lilith(Mother of all Devils) and use her flesh to create Artificial Devils. His criminal record is as clear as the sky."

"In conclusion, I'll execute Hades in front of you to make an example. Don't mess with my people."

"Do you have a problem with this, Zeus?" Huo Yuhao stared at the most powerful God among the gods before him. It was a middle-aged man with a white beard and mustache, wearing a plain toga.

Zeus looked at Hades and then Huo Yuhao, sensing an incredible danger coming from this blue-haired youth. His presence alone is suffocating him and other Olympian gods.

They couldn't stare at Huo Yuhao's eyes, leaving only Zeus, Poseidon, Apollon, and Artemis in a tight spot. Those demonic blue eyes are terrifying.

"No replies means Yes." Huo Yuhao summoned a Golden Sword from his Fifth Spirit Ring. A golden field with countless Golden Swords manifested around him, covering 2 kilometers radius of Olympus's land.

"Hades, The God of the Dead."

"Your Divinity is based on Souls."

"You have consumed millions over millions of dead souls, increasing your strength to do evil deeds. And with my sword, I shall bring justice forth!"

Huo Yuhao swung his Golden Sword clean, leaving a half-moon arc that slays Hades's skull off his skeleton body. Hades's Divinity of Soul "completely." was stripped when Huo Yuhao activated his fifth spirit ring, making him no different than a mortal.

The Olympian Gods closed their eyes, staring at the skull on the ground turning into ashes. Zeus and Poseidon are the only ones who look at their brother's slayed head. They are sad but also relieved.

[You have killed Hades and Saved Lilith]

[You have finished a Quest]

[You have received Ashborn's Spark(Brilliant Light), and 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket]

"I'll be back to Mount Olympus later. You have two choices." Huo Yuhao turned around, wanting to finish his job at the Underworld.

"Surrender or Experience the same fate as Hades."

SWOOSH!

Huo Yuhao disappeared from the Olympian Land, erasing the suffocating presence. They finally could breathe at ease.

"What should we do, Brother?" Poseidon asked Zeus.

"Should we..."

"Don't even think about avenging Hades, Poseidon." Zeus closed his eyes and sighed in defeat. "As the Chief God of Olympus, I could feel several divinities from that person's body."

"Just one of his Divinity enough to burn us into ashes."

"It's an unknown yet monstrous source of power that I couldn't recognize."

"Then, we should surrender..." Athena finally opened her mouth. "We can call other God Factions, but they wouldn't hear us. Olympus has been in a difficult spot after Uncle Hades left us."

"As that person said, He's not a very clean God. He has done atrocities left and right."

"Athena..." Poseidon rubbed his temple.

Zeus looked at the other Olympian Gods and said, "We will surrender Olympus to him. It's not a matter of pride as you have witnessed that person's strength."

"Any complaints?"

...

Zeus nodded and stated, "Prepare for that person's second advancement toward Olympus."

Huo Yuhao returned to the Underworld and saw Tartarus getting stabbed by Scathach's Gae Bolg Alternative. The Primordial God of Abyss's size has been reduced to small slime, losing so much of his power.

"You're back?" Scathach used Soul Breaking Spear to lean on.

Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "We are over with Hades."

"With this, I have conquered the Underworld." Huo Yuhao sighed and told the devil kings to clear this place. "And there is more awaiting me out there."

He looked at his subordinate and declared, "Everyone, this is our Victory."

"GLORY FOR THE UNDERWORLD!" They responded with high spirits.

"GLORY FOR THE DEVIL!"

"GLORY FOR YOUR MAJESTY, GOETIA-SAMA!"

At the same time, Huo Yun'er sipped her tea and looked at the Chinese Mythology's Faction. "So, you wanted me to help you guys defeat the Blue-Eyed Dragon God?" She wanted to confirm their request.

"Yes." The representative named Hou Yi replied firmly.

Huo Yun'er laughed in amusement and slapped her hand on the chair a few times. It's hilarious.

"Hou Yi, do you know my name?" She questioned the man with a bow on his back.

Hou Yi frowned and answered, "The new Ruler of the Shinto Faction. Yae Sakura, isn't it?"

Huo Yun'er shook her head, shutting down every possible escape route with her illusion. "That's just a facade I created." She commented while lifting her finger.

"My real name is Huo Yun'er."

"The Mother of Huo Yuhao."

"That can't be!" Hou Yi was ready to draw his bow, but Huo Yun'er flicked her finger and created the illusion that swallowed Hou Yi's entire well-being.

"It can be, moron." Huo Yun'er giggled while staring at the corpse on the floor. "You can't even endure 10.000 years of cold illusion.

"How weak..."

"You wanted me to help you defeat my beloved Hao'er?"

"Kept dreaming... No one shall touch my Hao'er."
