The entire star realm was illuminated by the two laws' glow, and countless star gods emerged, observing the situation before retreating. They knew well that this battle was beyond their reach. It was better to stay in their own small worlds, enjoying life peacefully.
Many star gods decided to stay out of the way, moving their stars to a safe distance, almost reaching the crystal wall system's boundary, leaving a vast battlefield for Hades and Hyperion.
In the Titan Temple, Cronus opened his eyes from his throne and muttered, "It has begun. Hyperion, do not disappoint me. Or rather, Hades, do not disappoint me." He then closed his eyes again, preparing himself. As the Titan War approached, the suppression from the mythic world would become more intense, and any carelessness could lead to catastrophe.
Simultaneously, Poseidon and Zeus looked up, watching the battle. Their work was momentarily set aside as they awaited the outcome, knowing it would significantly impact everything.
Countless gods and powerful beings watched the battle in their own ways, understanding its immense significance.
Laws and divine power merged into countless blades, forming a shadowy figure draped in a black robe, wielding a dark divine sword that slashed towards Hyperion. Hades' seemingly simple movement demonstrated his mastery over his laws, with the Underworld's laws manifesting in full force.
"Slash!" Hyperion did not retreat but instead raised his hand, forming a giant sword of crimson lotus flame to counter Hades' attack.
As the two laws clashed, a significant portion of the star realm collapsed, turning into chaos. The battle between these two gods was without reservation, purely an all-out confrontation aiming to kill the other. There was no need for testing or holding back; today was all about unleashing their full strength.
The mythic world quickly repaired the damaged star realm, restoring it almost instantly. As the realm was restored, Hades released waves of dark purple Underworld flames, transforming into two fiery dragons that seemed to consume everything in their path. Hyperion responded with two dragons of Solar flame, and the four dragons clashed violently, causing the newly repaired realm to collapse again.
These dragons were not merely flames but were infused with the boundless laws of both gods. As they fought, Hades' black pupils shone with cosmic light, unleashing beams that formed two more dragons of Solar flame. Hyperion, momentarily surprised, quickly realized he had underestimated his opponent. However, it was too late to react, and his two dragons were consumed by Hades' Underworld flames and Solar flames, now roaring towards him.
Hyperion summoned a massive dark purple sword, cutting through the dragons, extinguishing them. Hades was not surprised, recognizing the sword as Hyperion's divine weapon, Chu Zhen.
"Hades, your Chu Zhen is more powerful than Coeus' and Iapetus'. You've refined it further," Hades remarked after a brief pause.
Hyperion responded calmly, "Naturally, with the refining power of the Solar flames. But the battle continues, Hades! Be alert!"
"Solar Whirlwind!" Hyperion raised his hand, summoning a massive flaming tornado infused with Solar laws. He threw his Chu Zhen sword into the whirlwind, creating a terrifying vortex that seemed to devour everything. The star realm, once again, was destroyed by the overwhelming power.
The combination of divine artifacts, laws, and techniques was something even Coeus could not match. However, Hades was prepared. A transparent barrier appeared around him, radiating a black nine-pointed star from his forehead, the power of his Helm of Darkness. Though not fully unleashed, its defensive capabilities were already formidable.
Under the Helm's protection, Hades withstood Hyperion's attack without moving, as silence fell over the realm. Hyperion frowned, sensing the Helm's formidable defense, akin to an impregnable shield.
The Trident could command all oceanic powers, even the concept of 'sea,' which included the Chaos Sea. The Thunderbolt was a powerful lightning artifact. But the Helm of Darkness, beyond concealing presence, soul, divine power, laws, and concepts, had an extraordinary defensive capability.
After enduring Hyperion's strike, Hades released a thought, and one hundred and eight demonic stars began to float in the star realm.
