Saruto decided to begin his journey to the 72 Demon Realms. He stood before Hades, his eyes blazing with determination, and said, "Hades… how do I get to the 72 Demon Realms?"
Hades chuckled softly and said, "Since you are now a Demigod, you are able to reach them."
Saruto stepped forward hesitantly and asked, "But how?"
Hades slowly raised her hand, encasing it in her Death Energy, then lowered it, creating a rift in spacetime before her. She said calmly, "This gateway leads directly to the Demon Realms."
Then she snapped her fingers and swiftly closed the gateway behind her. She smiled and said, "Now, it's your turn to imitate what I did."
Saruto was confused. "How am I supposed to imitate that without an explanation?"
Hades chuckled softly. "Saruto… you are no longer an ordinary human. You are a Demigod now, and your intelligence far surpasses that of humans. All you need to do is think, and you will know what to do."
Saruto sat for a moment, closing his eyes. He mentally replayed Hades actions, tracing each movement, each method of creating a spacetime rift. Suddenly, he realized something important. He smiled and shaped one of his swords in his hand. "You have enveloped your hand with the energy of a Demigod… I will envelope my sword with my own."
The sword began to envelop him, and a dark, luminous aura flowed around him, as if reflecting his newfound power, the power of a Demigod. Then he focused on his target: the Realm of the 72 Demons, using the world's coordinates. He created a spacetime rift before him, just as Hades had. Hades smiled. "Well done, Saruto… that's what I wanted," she said proudly.
Saruto raised his head and said resolutely, "Now I will go to the demon world. I will ask the king to forge my weapon, then I will return to complete my quest. And tell my father I am going."
Hades shook her head and said, "Very well, I will tell them… but be careful. Demons do not associate with those who are not of their race, due to the persecution they have suffered."
Saruto smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry… I will be careful."
He bid Hades farewell and then stepped through the portal. Instantly, he felt an immense surge of energy surrounding him, as if the entire space were shrinking distances and compressing time and space to compress them. His speed accelerated to its maximum, the energy manipulating him as he passed through the portal. He thought to himself, "This is how we transported Umbra… incredible… these rulers are not to be underestimated."
His speed increased as he approached the end of the portal, until he broke through the final boundary and suddenly found himself in a completely different world.
Saruto landed on the ground, slowly raised his head, and took in his surroundings. The demon king took a few steps, then suddenly stopped before a vast kingdom unlike any he had ever seen, with its colossal towers and black gates inlaid with carvings. He thought to himself, "I come, Demon King… to forge my weapon."
