The three gods were barking wildly, but Hades didn't care about their situation at all. After fighting Yamata no Orochi, Hades had already formulated an idea. This mythical world seemed to have some issues, not fundamental ones, but!
It appeared that the gods in this world had their own problems.
Of course, Hades couldn't make a judgment on this issue for the time being, but he was in no rush.
In the first step in this mythical world, he had harvested seven or eight souls, and then he only needed to deal with the rest.
Once he dealt with Yamata no Orochi, he could proceed to the final destination, and everything else would be simple.
"Roar!"
Located in Yellow Spring entrance, Yamata no Orochi roared crazily.
Under the shackles of the magic star chains, it couldn't move at all, yet its frantic roars echoed in everyone's ears, causing many souls in Yellow Spring Biliangsaka to shatter instantly, and even some common Underworld fighters were directly obliterated.
No matter what, Yamata no Orochi was a true God King. Even if it was slightly weaker, a god king was still a god king. Even a mere wisp of divine power was something these fragile souls couldn't withstand.
"Lord Hades!"
"Lord Hades!"
The twin gods sensed something was wrong and rushed to the scene.
Upon seeing the raging Yamata no Orochi, the two gods teamed up to unleash an invisible barrier, quickly enclosing the creature to contain its divine power.
"This is...?"
Hypnos was instantly shocked and exclaimed, "This is the power of the Evil God?!"
Hades replied indifferently, "Yamata no Orochi is an Evil God, so there's no need to be so nervous."
With a casual gesture, Hades summoned Kushi Inada Hime and the rest of the family. He had specially created a realm for them in the Underworld, allowing the family to live there, making them one of the Underworld's inhabitants.
When Kushi Inada Hime arrived at Yellow Spring entrance, she was taken aback by the sight of the majestic Yamata no Orochi. She immediately knelt respectfully on one knee, saying, "Kushi Inada Hime pays her respects to Hades!"
The twin gods stopped their inquiries and stood quietly on either side of Hades. They understood how special Kushi Inada Hime's identity was. As a natural blessing, she was a unique envoy, a treasure to any god-king.
The more god-kings like Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus existed, the more they valued blessings that could provide limitless buffs. The identities of blessings were significantly different from mere subordinates.
To be a god! A fighter! A beast!
All of these were just subordinates, but a blessing represented a true identity. Because of this, they symbolized completely different statuses.
Hades flicked his fingers, sending a ray of divine power into Kushi Inada Hime's body. Instantly, she seemed to transform.
Radiant divine power and endless brilliance radiated from her. In a short time, she grew into a perfect eighteen-year-old, exuding a breathtaking beauty.
Her long black hair was elegantly styled, radiating maturity, stability, and perfection.
Wearing a black and red twelve-panel kimono, every movement she made exuded a refined aura.
"See Lord Hades!" Kushi Inada Hime said as she opened her eyes once more, gracefully kneeling in salute. Her beauty was so striking it seemed otherworldly, like a pure lotus untouched by mud, but one that no one dared to approach.
"Um."
Hades nodded indifferently and said calmly, "Kushi Inada Hime, from today onwards, you will be my blessing and the messenger of the entire Underworld."
"Yes!"
Kushi Inada Hime took her place beside Hades, marking her status. The twin gods stepped back, recognizing her elevated position. Compared to other gods, she was of a higher level, especially among Hades' ranks.
Essentially, the difference wasn't too great.
The hierarchy in the Underworld was stable, with no risk of overstepping or greed.
The key point is that the Underworld is primarily composed of souls, a collective of deceased beings staying behind, largely uninterested in such power dynamics.
Hades turned his attention back to Yamata no Orochi, as the golden apple planted within the magic star emitted divine power, gradually absorbing everything from the creature. This time, he was only absorbing its essence, not truly inhaling Yamata no Orochi's power.
He refrained from drawing in the power of nothingness that Yamata no Orochi possessed. The consequences of that could be unpredictable, and Hades was gradually sorting through all of this.
Kushi Inada Hime and the twin gods stood silently. As time passed, a glimmer of realization appeared in Hades' eyes. He thought to himself, "So, this is how it is."
Among the Evil Gods, there are three types. The first type is the Outer Gods, existences that wander in the vast sea of crystal walls. The weakest among them possess the power of primordial gods.
The second type is known as the Old Ones, whose origins are quite unique. Many of the Outer Gods are clones of Old Ones, but most are special entities—not gods in the traditional sense, but rather existences born in newly formed worlds. They come into being when those worlds face destruction, like wraiths born to dismantle reality.
However, it cannot be denied that the Old Ones possess immense power.
The third type consists of Old Gods. Mythology is cyclical, and in the endless cycles of the grand parallel universe and the multiverse, as well as the boundless sea of crystal walls, many gods, like Hades, have long been researching how to restrain themselves.
Additionally, in certain worlds, gods that experience degeneration due to various circumstances may become Old Gods after absorbing the power of nothingness. While they become stronger, they cease to be who they once were.
Both Poseidon and Yamata no Orochi fit this description, but the two are fundamentally different: one has mastered power, while the other has been consumed by it.
As the colossal figure of Yamata no Orochi gradually dissipated, what remained was a divine sword, the Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds, conceived within Yamata no Orochi's body. However, none of this captured Hades' attention.
He lifted it with one hand, feeling the pulsing power within, the essence of the Evil God—a power comparable to the ultimate force, the power of nothingness.
