Gold's sun flames transformed into dark purple flames, and the screaming Bennu fused with dark purple underworld crystals to form dark purple battle attire, exuding strange and terrifying power.
"Skystorm Bennu," Hades named it, as the Bennu bird, now a dark garment, soared into the sky and landed on the pedestal in front of the temple.
This was how the first Underworld garment was born.
Withdrawing his gaze, Hades left Skystorm and continued his journey toward the other magic stars.
The Underworld garment and magic stars complement each other; the magic star will continually refine the Underworld garment and infuse it with strength. Underworld fighters are, in essence, mere puppets of the Underworld garment. As long as the Underworld garment exists, a powerful army of Underworld fighters can be formed at any time.
Although the Bennu bird Underworld garment was born, it remained uncertain when the Underworld fighters would emerge or who they would be. Hades was not one to leave such matters to chance.
Having traveled through one hundred and eight magic stars, Hades encountered many gods, treasures, and even precious artifacts, all trapped within the magic stars. Why did they appear here?
Some were blocked by the magic star when they were just born. Others were trapped during the process of the magic star devouring other magic stars. Some simply fell onto the magic star.
In short, there were all sorts of strange occurrences.
After a while, Hades finally understood the extent of Zeus's cruelty. If history followed its original course, nothing would be left for him, perhaps just ten percent? No! Zeus left behind only scraps, having looted almost all the fetishes and artifacts.
But that was all in the past. Hades left the magic star without dwelling on it.
Returning to the chaotic starry sky, Hades transformed into a streak of light, swiftly penetrating the void and returning to Earth.
"To defeat the Father God, I need stronger divine power."
"And if I want to grow stronger, I must delve into the Underworld and Hell."
Hades was clear about his purpose. Only by becoming stronger could he defeat Cronus.
Peaceful coexistence? Nonsense!
Due to the prophecy, Cronus would never allow his children to live, and Hades was unwilling to depend on others. If understanding was impossible and unification unachievable, then conflict was inevitable.
Now, although Hades had discovered the magic star, this was just the beginning. Next, he needed to find stronger divine power to enhance himself quickly. Most importantly, he sought the authority of Pluto.
This was the core of Hades. Only by finding the authority of Pluto could he truly grow. Otherwise, no matter how hard he tried, there would always be an upper limit.
The authority of Pluto was like a key; only by holding it could Hades unlock his limited potential and rapidly improve.
Lost in thought, Hades returned to Earth.
Compared to when he left, he was now immeasurably faster. Having reclaimed the magic star and received its feedback, his divine power surged exponentially.
"Hades!"
"That's right!"
"It's him!"
Just after returning, a multitude of gods surged from all directions.
Wind gods, fire gods, earth gods, water gods.
Countless deities; nearly a thousand, both great and small; surrounded Hades from every angle.
Looking around, Hades didn't fell surprised. Given Cronus's control over the world, his appearance would inevitably attract the attention of the Titan gods.
The number of Titan gods in this world was overwhelming. Although many believed there were only twelve main Titan gods, that was a misconception! The Titan gods represented the second generation of deities.
In fact, this generation of gods was the most formidable.
Doesn't a certain island nation claim to have eight million gods? Eight million Titan gods in this era were unstoppable, their numbers reaching an extreme.
Mountains, rivers, rocks, singing birds, fragrant flowers; everything imaginable could give rise to gods. All of them were Titan gods, all subservient to Cronus.
In this age of Titan gods, humans were a rare species, while the Titan gods ran rampant.
At this moment, following the discovery of Hades' presence, thousands of Titan gods emerged within moments. And this was just the beginning, even more terrifying Titan gods were approaching from all directions.
"Trouble."
Hades uttered these two words coldly; it was indeed a significant problem.
If these Titan gods could not be eliminated quickly, their numbers would only grow. Eventually, too many ants can overwhelm an elephant. If delayed by these Titan gods, Hades knew he would soon face one of the Twelve Titan Gods.
With his current divine power, he had no chance of victory against them.
"Die."
Hades contemplated briefly, then softly uttered the word.
An invisible breeze swept over each Titan god, decaying their divine bodies and annihilating their souls. In an instant, all the Titan gods met the end of their existence.
However, before Hades could depart, an equally large number of Titan gods besieged him again.
They showed no fear, nor did they fear death. As long as they could kill Hades and receive Cronus's favor, they believed they would ascend to heaven in one step!
"Greed is always a harbinger of death."
Hades opened one hand, and instantly, with himself as the center, dark purple flames ignited spreading rapidly around him.
