Chapter 362: Hades’ Possession, Alex’s Ambush! (Part 2)

Hyoga, Shiryu, Ikki, and Seiya’s movements froze instantly. A massive terror, originating from the very depths of their souls, seized them.

They turned their heads in horror, looking toward the source of the power: Shun, who was right beside them.

They saw that Shun’s body had, at some unknown point, levitated three feet off the ground!

His emerald-green hair faded and paled at a visible rate, ultimately transforming into a cold, luxurious pitch-black.

The gentle, worried expression on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by a coldness like that of an eternally frozen lake.

Those clear eyes opened, and within his pupils burned a ghastly green Underworld fire capable of freezing the soul!

Although the body still belonged to Shun, every inch of his skin exuded the divine majesty of a god who controlled life and death and looked down upon all living beings!

“Shun, what in the world happened to you?!” Shiryu cried out involuntarily, his voice seeming incredibly weak under this oppressive might.

“No!” Ikki’s heart felt as if it were gripped tightly by a cold, giant hand, instantly stopping its beat!

Dusty memories were awakened. During his childhood, as he held Shun and fled the orphanage, they were stopped by a little girl.

“Your brother’s body has been chosen by the great Hades. Accept it; this is his destiny!”

Ikki understood what had happened. The divine soul of Hades, the King of the Underworld, had descended and possessed his brother’s body!

“Hmph, trying to use Athena’s blood to melt the Ice Hell? You certainly calculated well!”

“Let me guess, this must be the scheme of that man named Alex!”

Shun—or rather, the human vessel of Hades—spoke with an icy voice, carrying the tone of passing judgment!

His gaze, burning with Underworld fire, landed precisely on the cube hovering in the air that was radiating boundless light.

Under his gaze, the cube actually stopped emitting light. The already melting Ice Hell froze instantly, as if everything that had just happened was merely a collective illusion.

Despair, like the deepest and darkest ice, instantly froze the hearts of the four Bronze Saints!

Before them was the Hecatoncheires pinning down two Gold Saints, and behind them was the true soul of the King of the Underworld descending to possess Shun. Meanwhile, the five of them were already at the end of their ropes!

The flame of hope that had just been kindled was, in the face of absolute divine might, nothing more than a candle that could be snuffed out at any moment!

…

At the exact moment Hades’ divine soul possessed Shun, the Twin Gods had just passed through the Wailing Wall, preparing to rush to the Eighth Prison to suppress the rebellion.

They had passed through the Wailing Wall with their physical bodies; their speed was far inferior to Hades’ teleporting divine soul.

Thanatos, the God of Death, and Hypnos, the God of Sleep, abruptly halted their steps!

An extreme chill that made even their souls feel a piercing pain enveloped the surroundings without any warning!

The space of the Underworld seemed to be frozen; even the Underworld’s divine power emitted by the Wailing Wall became sluggish!

“Is this… Absolute Zero?”

A flash of astonishment passed through Hypnos’s golden eyes.

This was the Wailing Wall, the absolute deepest part of the Underworld. How could Absolute Zero appear here?!

“If I am not mistaken, it must be Alex who has arrived!”

Thanatos, who had previously been injured by this very power, spoke with a voice filled with deep apprehension and icy killing intent.

Hum!

Space trembled violently as a rift was torn open in the divine realm of the Underworld.

Directly in front of the Twin Gods, a figure stood quietly, having arrived at some unknown time.

He wore the Aquarius Gold Cloth, which radiated a profound blue-gold light, his white cape whipping wildly in the wind behind him.

Even in front of the Twin Gods, his imposing aura did not yield in the slightest; instead, it directly overpowered the two gods!

“Lord Hades! Save me!”

Without even thinking, Thanatos immediately sent out a plea for help toward the Temple of Hades in Elysium.

Alex’s words plunged him into an ice cellar!

“Do not waste your divine power. Hades is likely too busy to deal with you right now!”

Alex turned around, his pitch-black eyes exuding a terrifying chill like an eternal glacier!
