“Um, Lady Nyx, this is…”
At this moment, Hades’s mind was somewhat tangled.
Although he was still an infant and his brain was clearly not fully developed, the consciousness and soul of the reincarnator made it clear what Nyx wanted to express.
But for her to suddenly want him to become her son—Hades still found it difficult to understand!
Nyx seemed to have anticipated this and immediately said: “Hades, are you not curious why Cronus and Rhea chose you—the god of the Underworld?”
“What do you mean, Lady Nyx?”
“Hades, the universe is actually divided into the Light Universe and the Dark Universe.
These two opposing universes gave birth to two deities each: the God of Light and the God of Darkness!
And in the universe, there are eight Primordial Gods, each occupying four of them!
Among them, the four ancient gods of the Bright Universe are Gaia, the Mother Goddess of the Earth; Uranus, the Sky God; Pontus, the Sea God; and Ourea, the Mountain God.
The four ancient gods of the Dark Universe are: myself, Nyx, the Goddess of Night; Erebus, the God of Darkness; Tartarus, the God of the Abyss; and Eros, the God of Desire!
Hades, the God of the Underworld himself, belongs to the dark gods of the Dark Universe—let alone you, the King of the Underworld!”
“Wait—if that’s the case, then why was I born to Cronus and Rhea?
Could it be…?”
Hades looked at Nyx with some suspicion.
Nyx did not argue and directly said: “Correct, it is exactly as you imagine.
I used the power of fate to reincarnate you into the camp of the Light Universe!”
“Why?”
“The exact reason is not something you can know yet, Hades.
All you need to know is that everything is part of an agreement between me and Chronos!
The dominion of this universe will be controlled by the Light Universe.
Reincarnating you into the Light Universe faction also supports this decision!
By the way, to uphold this agreement, I erased Tartarus’s divine consciousness; his divine body became the prison of the gods.
And Eros, the God of Desire, was also destroyed by me—but his soul remained, and in the future he will be reborn in the Light Universe!”
Nyx looked relaxed, as if speaking of something trivial.
Obviously, they were all ancient gods, but compared to Nyx, the other ancient gods were like ants—she could easily crush them without effort!
At this, Hades shuddered, fear appearing on his face.
“If that’s the case, then why are we still…
now?”
“Indeed, because of the agreement, I will support the gods of the Light Universe in ruling the entire universe, and I cannot simply attack the gods of the Light faction!
However, this restriction only applies to me.
If it were a god from the Light faction who came to provoke me, then things would be different!
Hades, your fate has changed beyond recognition, and you have temporarily strayed from its path.
And now you have even run straight before me.
If you are willing, I can change your origins!
Using your power as King Hades as a Dark God is definitely far stronger than when you use it as a Light God!”
“So what will it cost me?” Hades asked.
Reforging his origins would make him stronger, so naturally he would not refuse such a good opportunity.
Perhaps in the main Saint Seiya series, Hades cherished the body born of Cronus and Rhea, but as a reincarnator, Hades clearly did not have such attachments!
Faced with a series of dangers from birth, Hades understood that in this mythological age, power was the key to maintaining dignity and even survival.
Without power, he could not even stand tall when speaking!
From Hades’s perspective, Nyx would definitely not help him without reason.
He did not believe in unconditional generosity—in his experience, such things often came with hidden costs.
Seeing this, a glint of approval flickered in Nyx’s eyes, and she said: “Do not worry—there is no price to pay for this!
If anything, when you grow up in the future, just take good care of my children!
Moreover, becoming a god of the Dark faction will most likely lead to a more difficult path than the path of fate—and that is a true test for you!
It is like escaping from under Cronus’s seal while preserving your Divinity and potential as a Chief God to the highest degree—yet being pursued by the Titan gods!
Crisis is essentially the coexistence of danger and opportunity!”
Hades nodded, silently acknowledging Nyx’s words.
Fortune and misfortune were often intertwined—their shift was indeed difficult to predict.
Some might receive great fortune, only to lose themselves in excess and fall into ruin.
Others might face great hardship, only to emerge stronger than before.
Hades found himself in a similar situation.
The opportunity to break free from the cage of fate was indeed a good thing.
But it also meant that the road ahead would become unknown, and whether he could realize his future—even Nyx could not be certain!
“Lady Nyx, I, Hades, am willing to become a Dark God and be your divine son!”
“Very well…
Erebus!”
Nyx called out, and in the next moment, vast dark divine power filled the temple sky.
Then a human figure appeared in the hall—it was one of the eight ancient gods—the Dark God Erebus!
“Nyx, do you need something?”
Erebus glanced at Hades and the Twin Gods, then focused his attention on Nyx.
Although Hades’s appearance surprised him a little, it was nothing special.
As for the Twin Gods—he completely ignored those two children!
Although he was not as cruel as Uranus, he was definitely not kind to his children!
In response, the Twin Gods did not even dare to breathe.
After all, Erebus was their divine father, so they did not dare to show the slightest disobedience.
In response, Nyx looked at Erebus and said: “Erebus, I want to bring the King of the Underworld into our Dark God system!
That is perfectly fine—now you are useless.
In the end, give everything for Hades!”
“What—Nyx, you want to…?”
Erebus’s face was full of terror.
As a husband and brother, Erebus knew better than anyone just how terrifying Nyx was.
But he had never expected that Nyx had called him here to be sacrificed!
