Skyburst.
Huihuo is cultivating hard. He is cultivating very hard. He wants to repay Master Hades' gift and protect his younger brother. No matter what happens, he will never let his brother suffer harm.
But under Hades' gaze, every fighter works diligently. Currently, there aren't many fighters under Hades' command.
Sky Star Boatman: Charon.
Omen Star Datura Flower: Quinn.
Skyburst Bennu Bird: Bright Fire.
Lost Star Satus: Chris.
Earth Yin Star Headless Horseman: Chubb.
Earthwalker Gorgon: Ochs.
In total, there are only six Underworld fighters: four Heavenly Stars and two Earth Stars. Although few, their quality is impressive.
Chubb continues to advance step by step, following the path laid out by Hades. Today, he has cultivated the eighth sense to a commendable level. Ochs and Chris, the two siblings, have also reached the eighth sense, showcasing the dedication of every Underworld fighter.
Huihuo's situation is unique, particularly regarding the fire nymph linked to him, possessing two souls. As the fire seed, it has gradually developed the flame of killing gods and the flame of the Underworld. Alongside Hades, three divine fires have infused the Red Lotus.
The fire nymph has cultivated four types of divine fire, but this is merely the beginning. It has birthed a rudimentary form of the will of the gods, a remarkable feat. Hades never expected Huihuo to progress so far in such a short time.
"Um."
Reflecting on this, Hades decided to let the fire nymph continue on its path. "This is not something I need to focus on."
Every Underworld fighter follows their own complete path, one they must tread alone to return to the Pure Land of Bliss. Hades quietly closed his eyes, assisting the World Tree and Ouroboros in absorbing their respective origins. With their improvement, the Underworld would similarly advance, bringing Hades closer to his goals.
During this time, Hades remained unconcerned about the Titan battle, focusing solely on reaping the benefits of Hyperion.
"Gaze at the price!" Ochs declared, a strange light flashing in his eyes. This was his Gorgon ability; anyone daring to meet his gaze would be instantly petrified.
"Big waves!" Chris responded calmly, channeling her small universe into a monstrous ocean wave. Like an elusive nymph, she vanished within the waves.
"Shock the Bay!" Ochs countered, effortlessly dispersing the waves to reveal Chris.
"Lore!"
"Big brother, not yet!" Chris exclaimed, as she unleashed her attack.
"Big Wave Dolphin!" A strange voice echoed, spurring Ochs to retreat quickly as Chris struck.
"Big waves!" Monstrous waves surged again, condensing into a single point that engulfed Ochs.
"Gaze at the price!" Ochs, undaunted, raised his hand. His special light petrified everything in its path.
In moments, the siblings broke apart, both exhausted from the fierce battle. Their small universes rapidly consumed, revealing the intensity of their training and skills.
In silence, they exchanged glances before engaging in close combat, their small universes flaring up. The skill and prowess of both were on full display. They were well accustomed to such battles, driven by their commitment to fulfill Lord Hades' orders.
Over the years, Chris's small universe advanced steadily, but she felt as if her path forward had been obstructed. Whether she could progress further was something only she could determine.
Ochs, starting from a lower point, had also reached the peak of the eighth sense through diligent effort. Both siblings improved their skills through rigorous training and battle, steadfast in their belief that hard work would yield results.
"Heh heh"
On the Styx River, Charon chuckled, "Ochs and Chris really work hard! As Underworld warriors, they should strive like this. It's a pity their path isn't clear, but that's not my concern; they just need a breakthrough of their own."
Charon, the strongest among the Underworld fighters, had cultivated his small universe to the extreme of the eighth sense and even grasped the will of the gods. He was now at the first stage of the Main God.
As a former Titan Main God, Charon had steadily built his foundation and stepped into divinity. Now, he was not what he once was; he was deep in the comprehension of his own laws and strengthening his divine power.
"Chubb!" "Quinn!" The two stared at each other with sharp intensity, mirroring the sibling duo's dedication to their training.
Though Chubb was an Earth Star, he had been the first to become an Underworld warrior, achieving the peak of the eighth sense through sheer determination. His strength surpassed that of the siblings, but he never claimed superiority, respecting their efforts.
Quinn, though newer to combat, had also reached the peak of the eighth sense, yet he sought to improve further.
"Messenger of Death! Blood Flower Knife Scissors!" Their combat intensified, with Quinn honing his skills as an Underworld fighter.
Once again, Chubb emerged victorious, calmly stating, "Quinn, your small universe is getting closer."
Resting briefly, Quinn, rejuvenated by the magic star's power, replied, "Not enough! I must grow stronger to aid Lord Hades effectively."
"Good!" Chubb affirmed. "Let's become stronger."
"Um!" Quinn agreed solemnly.
And so, the fighting continued. Every Underworld fighter remained vigilant, serious, and committed to improvement, knowing that their growth was essential to fulfilling Lord Hades' mission.
