Dark and silent, sharp and unique black rocks, countless wandering souls.
This was Hell.
The deepest part of the Underworld, Hades' territory. As one of the Greek Pantheon's main Gods, a senior Transcendent in the world, no one should dare come to provoke him.
However, today was an exception.
*BOOM!*
With a loud sound, a straight blue sword light pierced through the space barrier between the human world and Underworld as if coming from beyond Heaven. Souls and Grim Reapers hit by the radiation, regardless of their strength, were all directly vaporized and destroyed by the pure and noble sword intent on it, without even having time to scream.
"Shin Emperor, do you want to declare war on the Greek Pantheon!!!"
The god hall where Hades resided at Hell's center exploded with thick Death power forming a tornado storm, trying to stop the blue sword light from rampaging in Hell. At the same time, a loud angry voice was heard. Soon, a figure wearing a skeleton robe, emanating a unique Transcendent aura, appeared above the god hall, staring at the pitch-black sky.
"Hades, hand over Bident, otherwise, today the world will lose one Transcendent."
Hikaru's cold voice was heard from above.
"Hand over the weapon Bident? Shin Emperor, you're going too far. Want to make me fall? Just consciousness alone is too overestimating yourself."
Hades was very angry.
Never mind Shin Emperor's previous actions like a war declaration, destroying the power and Grim Reaper forces he had accumulated for thousands of years in Hell in an instant. Now, the other party even wanted to seize his weapon Bident. He had taken great risks, arbitrarily tearing up the Gods' covenant, and paid a very great price to merge Samael into it.
What else was this if not going too far? Bident that possessed the Dragon Slayer Curse was related to his plans. How could he easily hand it over.
Moreover, if Shin Emperor came personally, he might have to retreat three steps, because his power was far above his. However, Shin Emperor now only sent formless consciousness. Trying to seize Bident in his hands with just this consciousness was daydreaming.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Meanwhile, the Gods and powerhouses, shocked by Hikaru's sudden attack, slowly awakened.
Unexpectedly, the dragon race hadn't acted against Hades yet, Shin Emperor had already first acted to seize Bident in his hands. It's just they somewhat didn't understand, what did Shin Emperor want to do by seizing the Dragon Slayer Curse.
At this moment, the dragon race, who previously very much hated Hades, instead hoped Hades could give resistance, and not let Shin Emperor seize Bident that carried the Dragon Slayer Curse.
Not because the dragon race suddenly had good impressions of Hades. Because, they understood in their hearts that if Bident was in Hades' hands, the dragon race might be able to use major Pantheons to pressure the Greek Pantheon and Hell, asking him to hand over Bident. But, if it truly fell into Shin Emperor's hands, trying to retrieve it was absolutely unrealistic.
Shin Emperor dared antagonize all the world's Pantheons alone, and he wouldn't fear any threats or pressure.
If someone truly angered him, he might directly bring Bident and forcibly attack various Pantheons, hunting dragon races one by one. Never think this impossible. Look at the previous Egyptian Pantheon's destruction, and Shin Emperor's various previous immoral actions, that was already enough to make anyone shudder.
He was a madman who absolutely didn't care about consequences!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"This person!!"
Cao Cao, gripping the Longinus Spear tightly, observing the situation in Hell, couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Clearly he had already handed Samael over to him and the Hero Faction to handle, now he suddenly interfered, clearly was an insult to his power. How could the arrogant Cao Cao swallow this anger.
"Haaah!"
Siegfried beside him only sighed and shook his head.
Although slightly annoyed at being underestimated by Shin Emperor, the Hero Faction's chances to truly defeat Hades were actually very small. Most importantly was if the battle that broke out with Hades was too big, there was a possibility something unexpected would happen.
Actually it was better if Shin Emperor took Bident from Hades' hands in a quick and decisive way.
Of course, these words couldn't be spoken in front of the angry Cao Cao. Moreover, Siegfried also truly felt that Shin Emperor only separated formless consciousness, and wanted to defeat a Transcendent, wasn't this too excessive?
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"Blue Light Formation!!!"
A majestic voice like shaking past and present echoed in Hell, even above the entire Underworld.
In an instant, hundreds of millions of soul-shaking blue sword lights appeared from who knows where. The scene was extraordinary, and emanated terrifying killing aura.
From ordinary Devils to Demon King-level powerhouses...
Everyone felt fear in their hearts. If one of the sword lights in the sky fell upon them, they might fall or be seriously injured. Impossible to avoid. Moreover, this wasn't just one light, but countless hundreds of millions.
"Shin Emperor!!!"
Even Sirzechs and Ajuka, two Transcendents who were Underworld hosts, showed serious and shocked expressions on their faces.
With their combined power, receiving this attack wasn't an easy thing. If not careful, they could even be seriously injured. It should be known, this was just an attack launched by Shin Emperor's formless consciousness. Hard to imagine how strong he was if he came directly.
All Transcendents truly realized the gap between themselves and Shin Emperor.
"This person might have already reached the Transcendents' final limit!" Shiva said seriously.
"His power is several times stronger than when he fought him at the Indian Pantheon before. Terrifying talent!"
"It seems, his intervention to save the God of the Bible when the Eternal Beauty List was announced was just a small warmup."
Brahma, Creator God, one of the three Supreme Gods of the Indian Pantheon, said with slight helplessness on his face.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"Damn! Death Power, explode!!!"
Hades could feel the terrifying power contained in Hikaru's attack. He felt very pressured. Decisively, he swung Bident in his hand, drawing all Death power that had accumulated in Hell's land for tens of thousands of years.
Black wind howled, and Death power continuously gathered at one point!
*BOOM!*
A light pillar like a heaven-supporting pillar, carrying very thick death aura, pierced through space layers, and even forcibly distorted surrounding space and time, shot upward.
Clearly, Hades didn't want to directly collide with Hikaru. He wanted to attack and destroy Hikaru's formless consciousness in one movement.
"Good plan, but you must be faster than my sword light first!"
Hikaru's consciousness saw through Hades' opportunity in an instant, then waved his hand.
*SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!*
Sword light filling the sky like storm rain fell crazily throughout Hell. The Death power accumulated in Hell for tens of thousands of years was indeed very large, but Hikaru's sword light was clearly more numerous, as if endless.
When the two collided—
*RUMBLE!*
Heaven and earth suddenly became bright!
Sword light and Death power shot and broke each other. The shockwaves caused by their collision leveled all of Hell. Temples, black mountains, souls... all vanished in the shockwaves. The entire Underworld also trembled, as if an unprecedented earthquake occurred, heaven collapsed and earth overturned!
