“Hyperion, if this were anywhere else, I might still be cautious.
But in the Underworld, things are different!”
Hades remained calm.
After all, he was a Chief God.
Although limited by his divine body, he had the geographical advantage.
Facing a Second-Class God might not be impossible!
Not to mention that beside him was another Second-Class God—Hypnos!
Although Hypnos lacked the protection of a battle armor, his combat power was clearly significantly inferior to Hyperion’s.
But together, dealing with Hyperion was clearly not a problem!
“Is that so?
Hades, do you think I would be so reckless as to chase after you alone?”
As soon as Hyperion said this, Hades was momentarily stunned, then his expression drastically changed.
In the next second, above the three of them, a vast Microcosm instantly condensed over the Underworld—it was Cronus!
However, at this moment, Cronus did not appear in his true form, but rather as a phantom!
But even in the form of an illusion, Cronus’s power was unimaginably mighty.
The form of a giant, paired with six arms, his body embodying countless cosmic stars—his very existence was enough to distort dimensions!
And because Cronus possessed an infinite Microcosm, even in phantom form, he remained immortal and invulnerable.
Even if temporarily destroyed, he could instantly restore his infinite Microcosm!
“Cronus…”
“Enough, Hades!”
Cronus’s voice came from the phantom.
Although it was not his true self, even in phantom form, Cronus possessed the power of a Chief God—far surpassing what Hades could currently manage.
Although Hades had already mastered the power of the Demon Stars, before Cronus, the power of the Demon Stars was still far inferior!
This power might not be a problem for fighting a Second-Class God, but trying to handle Cronus was merely a pipe dream!
“My King!”
Hyperion knelt respectfully before Cronus’s phantom.
Although Cronus was now merely an illusion, he could still destroy the other eleven Titan gods!
“Hyperion, you will take Hypnos!
Hades, I will personally punish you!”
“Yes!”
Hyperion responded immediately.
As a Second-Class God with the divine powers of the Sun God and the War God, he was far above Hypnos, who only possessed the divinity of sleep.
With Hyperion’s support and his Divine Armament, dealing with Hypnos would definitely be easy!
On the contrary, Hyperion was somewhat worried about Hades.
After all, in the Temple of the Titans, Cronus had been in his true form and combined with the Godslayer Scythe, yet still could not defeat Hades.
Cronus was only in phantom form here, so Hyperion was actually not sure if he could handle Hades!
Of course, this was because he did not know about the existence of the system.
If Hyperion knew that Hades had already passed the system’s beginner protection period, he would be completely at ease!
“Damn…”
Hypnos’s face darkened, and Hades naturally did not fare any better.
He had originally thought that by arriving in the Underworld, he could finally settle down a bit.
Unexpectedly, Hyperion had not only chased after him but had also brought Cronus along.
The situation was truly dire!
“Enough, Cronus!”
Just as Cronus and Hyperion were about to make their move, a loud voice echoed throughout the Underworld.
In that instant, the sun manifested by Hyperion seemed to dim, its light rapidly fading.
Even Cronus’s phantom body became extremely illusory, as if one breath could turn it to ash.
“Nyx, …”
At this moment, Cronus was both shocked and enraged, full of fear.
He had never expected that with a single phrase, Nyx could almost completely shatter his phantom form.
At this moment, he truly understood just how terrifying this mysterious Goddess of Night was.
No wonder Gaia had repeatedly warned him not to provoke Nyx lightly.
If she truly became active in the Mythological Age, Cronus probably would have had no way to deal with her!
“Cronus, leave!
You are no longer the master of the Underworld.
From the moment Hades seized the authority of the Underworld, the King of the Underworld was born!
From today onward, your divine king’s authority will no longer extend into the Underworld.
Until Hades grows up, I will govern the Underworld!”
“Hmph—as long as I kill Hades here, the authority of the Underworld will naturally return to me!”
Cronus said, and in the next second, a golden dagger immediately appeared in his phantom hand.
This was the weapon that Saga used to kill Athena in the Saint Seiya anime—the Golden Dagger of the Godslayer.
At the same time, it was also the weapon that Seiya used to kill Saturn in the Ω storyline!
This golden dagger harbored the power to kill gods.
Even a Chief God who was killed by it would require hundreds of years to reincarnate.
Even Cronus, in his phantom form, could be attacked and killed by this short sword.
In Ω, the slain Saturn commented that against ordinary gods (all gods except Super Gods), the dagger could be lethal with a single strike.
One could say that to defeat Hades, Cronus had gone all out this time!
“Cronus, do you wish to spar with me?”
Nyx’s voice sounded again, and in that instant, all could not help but tremble.
Suddenly, the darkness of the Underworld flickered with a ghostly light, instantly enveloping Hyperion’s sun.
Without the sun, Hyperion seemed drained, lying on the ground in a languid state.
Meanwhile, Cronus’s phantom form grew increasingly illusory.
The Golden Dagger of the Godslayer instantly slipped from Cronus’s hands and merged into the darkness, vanishing without a trace!
“Damn it, Nyx…”
“Enough, Cronus!
Just consider this a favor to me, so let us end it here!”
As soon as Nyx finished speaking, Cronus wanted to say something more, but in the next second, everything shook.
The scene before his eyes instantly changed.
He—the King of the Titan gods, the second God-King ruling the entire universe, Cronus, possessing an infinite Microcosm—had been forcibly teleported out of the Underworld by Nyx.
This made Cronus gasp in shock!
Beside him, Hyperion lay on the ground like a dead dog.
If not for feeling his breath, Cronus might have thought he was already dead!
“Nyx…”
Cronus’s eyes flickered, but in the end, he let out a helpless sigh.
Nyx was so strange and powerful that even one as proud as he did not dare to easily make an enemy of her.
If he truly angered Nyx, Cronus probably would not even have to wait for the God of Calamity to arrive before Nyx would overthrow him!
Everything that had happened today was the best proof!
Nyx truly possessed the power to easily control a Chief God!
