Chapter 359 - 181: Lightning Strikes the Temple of Hades, Deathmask! (Part 1)

Chapter 359: Chapter 181: Lightning Strikes the Temple of Hades, Deathmask! (Part 1)

Unbeknownst to them, Athena’s Saints had already infiltrated the Underworld and launched an assault on his divine realm!

"How dare you?"

"Wait, if that is the case, Athena must not be dead either!"

Hades focused his divine consciousness on the head held in Shion’s hands.

Under the probe of Hades’s divine power, the carefully maintained illusory head in Shion’s hands finally revealed a flaw.

Crack...

Under the scrutiny of the divine consciousness, the head completely transformed into translucent ice crystals. It was incredibly lifelike and flawless, yet it radiated a piercingly cold aura!

Right in the center of the head, a purple orb of lightning emitted an endless aura of destruction!

Thanatos and Hypnos’s expressions changed drastically!

"Damn it, it is the power of Chaos Lightning!"

"It is a trap laid by that guy, Alex!"

"Lord Hades, get out of the way!"

The divine power of the Twin Gods instantly locked onto the world-destroying divine lightning in Shion’s hands!

Hades’s fury erupted like a volcano!

The endless Underworld aura within Elysium instantly transformed into a violent, destructive storm!

The Temple of Hades trembled under his wrath!

"Despicable bug! How dare you blaspheme me with such a cheap trick!!"

A frenzied divine will, far beyond Shion’s imagination, pierced ruthlessly into Shion’s soul body like billions of red-hot steel needles!

That Surplice, which was already covered in cracks, turned into flying ash inch by inch under the pure divine might of the King of the Underworld!

Shion gritted his teeth and gathered his final shred of psychokinesis, piercing it into the head. By stalling until this moment, he had already done his absolute best!

"Hades, your rule is about to end. I can foresee your doom!"

Crack!

The head split open, and the purple lightning surged instantly. The blindingly intense power of the thunderbolts tore through space, crashing ruthlessly into the center of the Temple of Hades like a meteor from the sky!

Boom!

The mandala flowers of Elysium were instantly burned to ashes, and the black stone pillars snapped and collapsed.

"Lord Hades!"

Thanatos and Hypnos’s exclamations of shock were drowned out by the roar of thunder. They could only scramble to protect themselves with their divine power, watching helplessly as the temple was reduced to ruins.

...

Meanwhile, the battles in the first seven Prisons grew increasingly fierce. The Cosmos of the Saints were like beacon fires lit across the Underworld!

Countless warning reports flooded into the Eighth Prison like a burst dam.

The Specters guarding this place and Cocytus fell into complete chaos. They had never imagined that the Sanctuary’s counterattack would be so ferocious, silently appearing right in the core of the Underworld!

"Emergency in the First Prison! Lord Minos, the Celestial Noble Star, has been injured by Dohko! The situation is critical..."

"The Second Prison is locked in a bitter struggle! Requesting reinforcements!"

"Two Saints have attacked the Third Prison! The Cosmo of Lord Aiacos has vanished!"

The Eighth Prison was the final prison of the Underworld, as well as the most heavily guarded one. Those who attempted to rebel against the rule of the gods and committed grave sins would all be cast into the Ice Hell!

The souls of the Saints who had participated in previous Holy Wars could not reincarnate; they were imprisoned here forever. Their bodies were frozen by ice, leaving only their heads exposed above the surface. Their eye sockets were filled with frost, long devoid of any signs of life.

But at this moment, the heads beneath the ice slowly awakened.

The panicked shouts of the Specters reached their ears. The ice shards on their eyelashes rustled and fell, and their parched lips trembled slightly.

The terrified voices of the Specters echoed in their ears.

"At the entrance to Cocytus! Two Gold Saints and five Bronze Saints have invaded! Stop them with everything you have! Do not let them reach here!"

"They are finally here..."

A weak voice transmitted from beneath the ice. It was Ox, the Taurus Saint from the era before the last.

"They have finally brought the fight to us!"

"You scumbags!"

Another head roared, his voice filled with hatred that had been suppressed for thousands of years.

"Just you wait! As long as we can break free, I will repay the suffering of all these years!"

...

In Elysium, the Temple of Hades was reduced to ruins. The statue of Hades in the center of the grand hall only had half of its body left.
