Thunder clashed as the laws of death and lightning intertwined. Thanatos transformed death into a monstrous beast, its gaping maw seemingly poised to consume all, while Black Thunder's electrifying strikes repeatedly dismantled the creature. Yet, the beast was immortal, rising anew with each defeat.
"Is this all you have?" Black Thunder taunted, disdain clear in his voice.
Endless black thunder erupted from him, a chaotic display of raw power. Unlike the unpredictable thunder of Koios, Black Thunder's was a relentless force—pure law, unyielding in its might.
The battlefield around them cleared, divine powers igniting the air. It was a struggle that would not be resolved quickly, with both gods channeling their immense energies.
Meanwhile, Hypnos observed the chaos. "This battle is meaningless," he stated.
White Wind countered with a smirk, "Meaningless? Your resistance is simply a sign of failure!"
Hypnos chuckled, calm in the face of disdain. "To you, it may seem like resistance against the Titan God King, but for me, this is merely a necessary journey. With Lord Hades here, victory is already assured."
White Wind narrowed his eyes. "Blind confidence indeed."
Hypnos replied, "As a god, absolute confidence is essential."
As their conversation continued, an undercurrent of the laws of sleep and wind intertwined around them, unnoticed by the masses engaged in battle. Their duel, elegant and subtle, stood in stark contrast to the ferocity displayed by Thanatos and Black Thunder.
"Ultimately, the outcome rests with Lord Hades—not you," Hypnos asserted.
"Is that so?" White Wind retorted with a knowing smile.
Across the battlefield, Quinn, Huihuo, and Chris, the Triad of the Underworld, charged into the throngs of Titan fighters, their small universes flaring with formidable light. The clash of forces was relentless, as they devoured Titan warriors one by one.
"Messenger of Death!"
"Gaze at the price!"
"Giant Jaw Crush!"
With fierce cooperation, Chubb, Ochs, Tyron, and others unleashed their devastating attacks, standing united against the overwhelming numbers of their foes.
Despite the Titans' numerical superiority, the Underworld fighters stood resolute, fighting with a ferocity that kept the tide at bay.
"Thanatos! Damn you!" Black Thunder roared, his anger igniting an even fiercer resolve. A crest flared to life behind him, bathing him in pink flames, heightening his power.
Black Thunder unleashed his ultimate abilities, black thunder coalescing into a colossal dragon's head that barreled towards Thanatos. But the God of Death met the challenge head-on, summoning the vastness of the underworld to bolster his strength.
"Endless death!" he declared, his aura expanding in response to Black Thunder's assault.
The clash of ultimate powers ignited the air, a dazzling spectacle as divine forces collided. Yet, the two gods found themselves locked in a stalemate, each wielding the power of a near-god king.
"Ultimate power?!" White Wind gasped, realization dawning. At that moment, Hypnos ignited his own ultimate energy, merging it with his celestial essence.
"Eternal sleep!" Hypnos shouted, unleashing a wave of power that disrupted the balance between him and White Wind.
Caught off guard, White Wind reacted swiftly, igniting his own ultimate energy to fend off the impending onslaught. Though he suffered minor injuries, he managed to block Hypnos's attack.
With a hint of regret, Hypnos remarked, "So close! Otherwise, your soul would have drifted into eternal slumber."
Feeling the law of sleep encroaching upon him, White Wind murmured, "I was careless."
It was a realization that left him rattled; he had underestimated the Gods of the Underworld, whose prowess now shone brighter than ever.
