Chapter 368: Chapter 185: Hades’ True Body Awakens, The Final Battle Approaches! (Part 2)

And Alex, that mortal he thought was merely a bit stronger, had actually consecutively slain the God of Death and a God of Dreams before the Wailing Wall, forcing the God of Sleep to burn his origin and flee for help!

’A single misstep, and every step... is lost...’

A cold and humiliated thought surfaced within Hades’s divine soul.

From Shion requesting to head to the Sanctuary to assassinate Athena, to Shion presenting Athena’s head in the Temple of Hades, to the Saints’ surprise attack on the Eight Prisons, and finally the trap regarding his human vessel in the Ice Hell, which made him unable to spare any attention to look after the Gods of Death and Sleep.

The opponent seemed to have predicted all his reactions and all his trump cards!

He, the Lord of the Underworld who ruled over death, was actually being led by the nose like a marionette, falling into a trap with every single step!

"ALEX!"

Hades let out a roar of absolute indignation, the green Underworld fire dancing madly in his eyes.

He realized that continuing to be trapped in this mortal body—which was being suppressed from multiple sides—would not only prevent him from exerting his power but would actually become a burden. He might even give Athena and the others an opportunity to severely injure his divine soul and seal it away directly!

"Athena! Alex! You have done... very well!"

Hades’s voice was filled with venomous resentment and icy killing intent.

"This farce should come to an end!"

Boom!

A divine might of the King of the Underworld, more than ten times stronger than before, forcibly broke through Athena’s purifying divine light and the Virgos’ Buddha-power barrier!

Shun’s body trembled violently, his pitch-black hair instantly reverting to emerald green. This time, it was Hades’s divine soul actively detaching itself!

"Brother... everyone..."

Shun’s weak consciousness only had time to let out a faint call before he completely fainted.

Ikki hugged his brother tightly, feeling the extraction of that terrifying divine might.

A dark green orb of light, condensed to the extreme and radiating the origin of endless death and darkness, suddenly shot out from the top of Shun’s head!

It did not pause, not even sparing a single glance at the battlefield. At a speed surpassing light, it tore through space, instantly disappearing from its spot and heading straight for Elysium!

Hades had abandoned Shun’s physical body. At this point, his true body had to awaken!

The Underworld’s army had suffered a crushing defeat. The first seven Prisons had already been conquered by the army of Saints, and even the Eighth Prison was about to fall!

The Underworld had been turned completely upside down by the Saints. If he did not descend in his true body now, the Underworld would no longer be his divine domain.

Deep within Elysium, above the ruins of the Temple of Hades...

Hades’s pitch-black divine soul orb plunged into the center of the temple like a meteor.

The next moment, the entire Underworld—the Eight Prisons, the Ice Hell, Yomotsu Hirasaka, and even the distant edges of the living world—felt that ultimate oppressive might that made all creation tremble!

Space shattered inch by inch like fragile glass!

Time seemed to sink into a viscous quagmire!

Endless deathly Underworld aura frantically surged toward Elysium from every corner of the Underworld. Deep within the temple, a magnificent stone sarcophagus slowly opened!

A figure emerged from the sarcophagus!

He was clad in the Surplice of the King of the Underworld, as pitch-black as the night and flowing with the brilliance of annihilated stars. Every plate of the armor was engraved with ancient runes of death, radiating a powerful oppressive might that would suffocate even gods.

In his hand, he held the Sword of Hades, a weapon with an ancient design yet containing the power to end all things!

His face was flawless, yet so cold that it lacked even a trace of emotion. Within his eyes, two clusters of deep green Underworld fire, seemingly capable of incinerating the universe, burned fiercely!

Hades, the King of the Underworld, the supreme deity who ruled over death and the underworld, had finally descended in his true body and complete form!

He slowly raised the Sword of Hades in his hand, pointing the tip toward the direction of the Sanctuary’s army. His icy voice, like the passing judgment of universal laws, echoed throughout the entire Underworld, announcing the arrival of the final battle:

"Athena... Alex... and you blasphemous ants..."

"You have... thoroughly enraged me!"

"Today, the Underworld shall be your burial ground!"
