The Trump Card Revealed! 4/4

"Lord King of the Underworld, a one-on-one duel, no objections?"

The ancient serpent dragged its spear as it circled Hades, adjusting its attack posture and angle, while casually speaking.

"Can..."

Hades pondered for a moment and nodded. This was the underworld, his home turf. If he could resolve the situation perfectly, the losses here would be minimized. It was worth a try.

Samael grinned, a wicked smile spreading across his face, and bared his head, letting out a loud shout behind him.

"Did you hear that? Lord Hades is going to take on all three of us by himself!"

Artemis and Hecate both twitched their cheeks and turned pale.

Hades, who was trying to calm himself down and focus on locking onto the enemy in front of him, was so flustered that he almost lost his composure and started cursing.

But just as Hades was momentarily lost in King of the Underworld, Samael charged forward, his Cross Spear piercing the air.

"Boom!"

Coming to his senses, Hades hastily raised his sword to defend himself, but was instantly blasted away by the overwhelming force. His lungs trembled violently, and a trickle of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Don't worry, if it's a one-on-one fight, it's a one-on-one fight. Although they're tied to me, and although there will be endless trouble if the news gets out, they will absolutely not interfere, and they will absolutely not shoot you in the back or use Magecraft to ambush you."

Samael charged forward, gun in one hand, and made a smiling promise.

However, even a fool could tell that this wasn't a guarantee at all, but a shameless invitation to join the brawl.

With the advantage of the terrain and his own power as the King of Gods the Underworld, Hades might be able to put up a fight, but because he had to spare some of his attention to guard against the sudden attacks of the other two main gods, he quickly fell into a disadvantageous position under Samael's aggressive offensive.

After several exchanges of spear and sword, Hades, whose mind was wavering, was caught off guard by Samael, who struck him with the shaft of his spear and sent him flying.

At this moment, when King of the Underworld had exhausted his remaining strength and stood up to look around, he was shocked to find that the three Underworld Judge had all lay flat.

The freed-up Heroic Spirit and the Argonaut Expedition the King of the Underworld, with ill intent.

Hades' divine will spread, issuing a call to action, hoping to draw people in to share the burden.

However, Thanatos, God of Death, and Charon, Ferryman of the Styx, remained unresponsive, and even Hypnos, the god of sleep who was supposed to guard Elysium, was nowhere to be found.

A bunch of traitors!

Hades, guessing that his subordinates were likely to betray him, was furious. But at the same time, King of the Underworld felt a weight on his body, and the lingering feeling that had caused him to suffer losses several times before returned.

Hades immediately gritted his teeth and activated the invisibility helmet, removing the suppression of this Authority of Destiny. In the instantaneous sound of air being cut, he raised his sword and slashed upwards.

As the spear and sword clashed, King of the Underworld, who had hastily parried the Cross Spear, was so shocked by the earth-shattering force that his arms went numb and his body swayed. He had to bend his knees and half-kneel, gripping the sword hilt with both hands and desperately blocking the attack, before he was able to stabilize the downward momentum of the Cross Spear.

"Why bother? Even if Olympus causes chaos, it has nothing to do with your underworld. Zeus is not worth your life-risking. Where is the key to liberating Elysium?"

Samael's eyes, etched with a scarlet cross, looked down, offering a silent admonition.

"Shut up!"

Hades frowned and snorted coldly, then turned his head to the side and roared angrily.

Cerberus, what are you waiting for!

"Pfft!"

"Tick-tock..."

Amid the sounds of tearing fabric and splattering blood, Hades stiffly turned his head, staring intently at the pair of dog heads biting into his shoulder blades.

At the same time, the ferocious beast's head in the center was hanging down from above his head, its tongue spitting out saliva that splattered onto his face.

Cerberus... you!

Hades, who had been suddenly betrayed, was filled with disbelief, and his voice was hoarse.

Enraged, King of the Underworld disregarded his physical condition and forcibly unleashed his divine power, temporarily shaking off the spear pressing on his shoulder. He then turned his jet-black sword and thrust it behind him.

"Woof!"

Cerberus was very alert and immediately grabbed Hades and flung him backward. King of the Underworld crashed through countless trees and pavilions along the way, before crashing miserably into a nursery.

Immediately, this traitorous dog, which had turned on its owner, trotted over to Samael with its tongue lolling out, raised its paw in mid-air and gave Samael a high Hydra.

The Big Dog's tail wagged wildly, showing extreme excitement. Its human-like, fawning smile seemed to be seeking praise, giving off a sleazy vibe.

"Okay, after we finish this job, I'll send you out on the surface to have some fun."

Samael smiled and stroked the three dog heads, which still retained the charm of the three Siberian Huskies, one by one, making a satisfied promise.

Cerberus to go crazy from the Issei scenery of the Underworld, suddenly beamed with joy, curled his tongue, and approached his teacher, wanting to become someone's lapdog.

However, the ancient snake, with a dark face, gave the dead dog a good beating, which made it obediently lie on the ground whimpering.

At that moment, a rustling sound came from the nursery, Hades, looking disheveled, barely managed to get up, leaning on his sword.

"I'm giving you this advice one last time. If you're willing to cooperate, the Underworld will still be yours. I can even consider throwing Zeus into the Tartarus Chasm to ensure his life."

Samael raised his hand and lightly wiped the tip of his gun, his tone becoming more indifferent.

Killing Hades and Zeus would not benefit him much, as it would only incite a sense of crisis among the Old Gods.

But if the other party doesn't take it seriously, he'll have no choice but to resort to tougher measures.

"As expected, Zeus was right. The Old Gods cannot be trusted, and neither can you humans!"

Hades rose, leaning on his sword, his sinister gaze sweeping over the assembled Heroic Spirit and gods like Hecate, his tone subdued.

"This thing shouldn't have been used on you, but you forced me to!"

King of the Underworld raised his sword, and with a slight exertion, the blade, wreathed in Death Qi, sliced across his palm, while the pitch-black Underworld King's Sword was gripped in reverse and plunged into the ground.

"You want to know the secrets of the Elysium? Come, see what it really looks like!"

Instantly, Hades swung the hilt of his sword and roared. The divine runes engraved on both sides of the blade lit up one by one. The purplish-black light patterns rippled and spread rhythmically across the ground. The spiritual veins buried deep in the Abyssal Layers immediately became active and boiling. Streams of ethereal light surged out from the Sorcery Array that formed on the ground and pierced through the heavens and the earth.

Not good!

Stop him!

Samael's heart pounded with alarm, his pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately disregarded the peace talks, stretching his body into an exaggerated arc as he decisively threw his Cross Spear.

At the same time, Artemis, feeling a strong sense of foreboding, also bent her sword and fired three silver arrows in a triangular pattern, their sharp points aimed directly at Hades' arms and longsword.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

However, the deafening clang of metal clashing against metal rang out repeatedly halfway through the attack. Both Artemis's light arrows and Samael's javelins were intercepted by the falling stone axes, stone knives, greatswords, and shields.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Like a roar from hundreds of giant mouths, it created a terrifying sound wave that sent grass clippings flying all around.

In an instant, two giants with a hundred arms and dozens of heads of varying sizes emerged from the pillars of etheric light gushing from the earth's core, dragging weapons made of volcanic rock from the earth's core. They roared ferociously.

"Taboo of the Gods, unauthorized entry..."

"...die!"

At the same time, muscular Titans, three-headed lions, winged harpies, giant wolves with one horn, and snake women with long tails emerged one by one from the pillar of ethereal light and stood before Hades, their ferocious auras overwhelming him.

Two Hecatoncheires, the defeated Titan Gods from the New and Old God Wars, and Typhon's demon army!

Having recognized Samael origins of these monsters and sensing their terrifying power, Samael's pupils contracted sharply.

More importantly, without exception, a silver-white Divine Seals of Thunder appeared on their foreheads!

This is a trump card, damn it!
