Chapter 358: Chapter 180: Shion’s Persistence, The Battle Erupts! (Part 2)

Thanatos snorted coldly. The aura of death swept past like a cold current, nearly freezing Shion’s soul.

But they did not forcibly seize the head. In their hearts, the will of Hades, the King of the Underworld, was above all else.

Inside the Temple of Hades, the statue shrouded in the deathly aura of the Underworld seemed to come alive.

Green Underworld fire danced in the statue’s eyes, and his voice echoed through the grand hall.

"Bring it forth."

Hades’s voice was calm and devoid of emotion.

Shion kept his head lowered. Holding Athena’s head, he took step after step toward the statue that represented the divine consciousness of the King of the Underworld.

Time seemed to stretch infinitely; every step he took felt as if he were treading on the edge of a blade.

Only one thought echoed in Shion’s mind: ’Steady! Just get a little closer!’

Just as Shion was about to step onto the stairs of the divine throne, a distinct fluctuation—like a stone tossed into a tranquil lake—instantly stirred the laws of the Underworld. The source originated from the Eight Prisons of the Underworld!

The Eight Prisons of the Underworld erupted with earth-shattering energy shockwaves almost simultaneously!

Because of the strategic errors made by the three Underworld Judges during the previous battle at Hades’ Castle, thirty-three Celestial-tier Specters had been frozen on the sacred mountain by Alex and had yet to resurrect.

The Underworld’s forces were unprecedentedly weak. At this moment, those guarding the Eight Prisons were not all Celestial-tier Specters!

The most crucial first three Prisons were guarded by the three Underworld Judges: the Celestial Noble Star, the Celestial Fierce Star, and the Celestial Heroic Star!

The subsequent five Prisons were temporarily guarded by powerful Terrestrial-tier Specters!

.....

The First Prison: The Court of Judgment!

Libra Dohko, wielding golden weapons and disguised as a deceased soul, suddenly cast off his tattered cloth garments. The Cosmic Marionation threads of the Celestial Noble Star, Minos, were directly severed by the Golden Sword!

.....

The Second Prison: The Hell of Heavy Rain!

The roar of the golden lion deafened the ears. The Celestial Fierce Star, Radamanthys, was struck directly by Aiolia’s Lightning Plasma and sent flying high into the air!

....

The Third Prison: The Hell of Rolling Stones!

The roar of Gemini Saga and Kanon’s Galaxian Explosion resonated. The two powerful, galaxy-destroying forces directly tore apart the Surplice of the Celestial Heroic Star, Aiacos.

....

The Fourth Prison: The Feather-Sinking Lake.

The lake water gleamed with a dark green luster, containing a soul-corroding power. A scarlet poison needle flicked from Scorpio Milo’s fingertip. With a flash of cold light, it directly pierced the butterfly wings of the Terrestrial Fairy Star, Papillon.

Just as Papillon was about to release his scales, the poison needle had already pierced his heart. His pupils instantly lost their luster, and he plummeted straight into the lake.

...

The Fifth Prison: The Burning Hell.

The ground was covered in flowing magma. Capricorn Shura swung his Excalibur. A sharp slash tore through the air and directly cleaved the earth. The ugly tentacles of the Terrestrial Hiding Star, Laimi, lunged fiercely from underground, only to be severed by a backhand slash from Shura. The tentacles let out sizzling, burning sounds as they fell into the magma.

.....

The Sixth Prison: The Three Valleys.

Consisting of the Pool of Blood, the Forest of Hell, and the Desert of Hot Sand, this prison was guarded by three Specters! The Terrestrial Violent Star, Gigant, was the strongest among them!

Camus’s Absolute Zero instantly froze the boiling sea of blood. Gigant’s massive body was also thoroughly encased in ice. As Camus walked past him, he could clearly see the shock in Gigant’s eyes. Then, Gigant’s body exploded into pieces before him!

"Hmph! Even without a Gold Cloth, I can still kill you instantly!"

The corners of Camus’s mouth curled up slightly. He felt as if the gap between himself and Alex had narrowed just a little bit!

The Cosmos of the Saints transmitting from the Eight Prisons were like a collapsing dam, instantly washing away the tranquility of Elysium.

Inside the Temple of Hades, the green Underworld fire in the statue’s eyes abruptly flared up, instantly shifting to a furious dark blue. A world-destroying wrath swept across the entire hall!

"Damn it!"

Hades’s voice was no longer calm, carrying monstrous fury.

"I’ve fallen into a trap!"

Hypnos and Thanatos’s expressions changed drastically as they whipped their heads around to look at Shion.

At this moment, Shion still kept his head lowered, holding Athena’s head, but the corners of his mouth had curled into a barely imperceptible smile!
