Wearing a dark purple fighting uniform, Koios stepped out of the darkness step by step, his eyes reflecting only endless peace and indifference, as if nothing could change his heart. He simply watched Hades quietly.
"Chu Zhen," Hades uttered.
Indeed! What Koios wore was the ancient Primordial god artifact known as Chu Zhen, crafted by the earth goddess Gaia for her twelve sons. It was second only to the great secret treasure worn by the Primordial god.
Chu Zhen is not merely a fighting garment; it is a divine weapon, a luxurious artifact that integrates both offense and defense. The thin thrusting sword held by Koios radiated an extremely dangerous light.
"Hades!" Koios said calmly. "I haven't had to use Chu Zhen in a long time."
"I should be honored," Hades replied.
"You should truly feel honored to die under Chu Zhen," Koios continued. "You are worthy of the title of Pluto in the prophecy."
Hades said quietly, "Pluto..."
But before he could finish, Koios had already launched his attack again. This time, the speed of Koios's strike was on an entirely different level. The black thunder raced forward in an instant, seemingly intent on completely devouring Hades.
Hades did not move at all as the terrifying black thunder approached, ready to pierce through his forehead. However, strands of dark purple light emerged to block the black thunder.
"Click click"
The skull, with its strange smile, crushed the black thunder and then entwined Hades, letting out a strange laugh. This was the manifestation of the magic star in the outside world; a bizarre dark purple skull.
"Magic star!" Koios narrowed his eyes slightly.
As someone with insight, he knew much that others did not. The three new-generation god kings had been born according to fate, destined to confront Cronus.
These were their own treasures of destiny, containing terrifying power, endless materials, and divine artifacts.
It could be said that this was the true nature that had prepared everything. Among these were Hades' magic star, Poseidon's Atlantis, and Zeus' Thunder Temple, treasures destined for them. As long as they practiced step by step, they could gain the power to overthrow Cronus.
So what was the only obstacle? It was to reclaim their titles of Pluto, Sea Emperor, and Heavenly Emperor from Cronus and unlock their own potential. Once everything was unlocked, there would be no doubt.
And clearly, everything had already begun. What would happen if it continued?
Koios realized that fate had reached a critical point, and if it truly continued, the situation would become very troublesome.
Therefore, Koios chose to eliminate Hades at this moment, not only because of the task assigned to him by Cronus, but also because this was the best opportunity. Not only would Hades be intercepted, but Koios also aimed to eliminate Poseidon and Zeus. As for whether he could succeed? That remained uncertain.
Regardless, Koios showed no mercy in his strikes. With Chu Zhen, endless divine power seemed to have been bestowed upon him countless times, and Hades felt an immense pressure.
However, Hades was not intimidated. One hundred and eight magic stars surrounded him, blocking Koios's attacks repeatedly. At the same time, terrifying divine power surged toward Koios.
Passive defense? That was not Hades' style. In the face of Koios' offensive, he intended to counterattack.
As their powers clashed, the surrounding world was annihilated, collapsing into a void. The recovery of the world itself could not keep pace with their destructive forces. Everything around them dissolved into nothingness, creating a terrifying void.
"Flash Spike!"
The same attack, but this time the thrusting sword of Chu Zhen unleashed a completely different power.
Countless rays of light pierced through the air. Against such rays, the black thunders, infused with divine power were a serious threat. A single misstep could pierce even the Titan Main God.
"Click click"
Yet, accompanied by the strange laughter, the numerous magic star skulls floating around Hades consumed all the black thunders in a short span of time, returning the power intact, as dark purple lightning shot straight at Koios.
Koios opened his hands indifferently, controlling the thunder-light before it dissipated without a trace. Meanwhile, the phantom of the World Tree behind Hades trembled slightly, and pieces of dark purple leaves fell, transforming into a massive sword that plummeted toward Koios.
"Hm?!"
Koios did not take the attack seriously, but he quickly reacted. Almost instantly, he staggered the thrusting swords in his hands, preparing to counter.
"Black Gale!"
This brilliant attack instantly shattered Hades' massive sword, completely consuming it.
In an instant, the offensive of the two fell into silence again. Koios said sharply, "World Tree! I really didn't expect that, Hades. Your kingdom of God is actually formed from the World Tree. If I had been careless just now, I might have been swallowed."
That massive sword contained the power of the World Tree. As the core of the underworld, the World Tree held immense power; death, slumber, and darkness.
These countless laws were all contained within it. If Koios had been careless, it would have been troublesome.
