“Boom…!”
Just as Hades looked at the Demon Stars, feeling the message they carried, a powerful Microcosm suddenly descended from the sky.
In an instant, the terrifying scorching heat turned all life on the island to ash—even the sea began to boil, and countless streams of vapor rose into the sky.
“This Microcosm—Hyperion!”
Hades looked somewhat shocked; he had not expected the Titan God to find him so quickly.
Just as he was about to flee, he was shocked to discover that the surrounding space had been completely sealed.
The surrounding space-time seemed entirely isolated—locked alone within a barrier!
“Damn it—I can’t leave!”
Hades’s face darkened.
In the next moment, scorching black flames flickered in the sky, distorting space itself.
One of the Twelve Titans, the Sun God—Hyperion—slowly appeared.
Clad in pitch-black battle armor, as he stepped onto the island, the ground instantly melted into lava, making even the air scorching hot.
“You certainly made it easy for me to find you, Hades!”
Hyperion slowly approached Hades, his face full of indifference.
Although, in a sense, Hades also belonged to the Titan gods.
As Cronus’s eldest son, Hades deserved the status of a “prince”!
Unfortunately, Cronus did not recognize other gods!
Hyperion was the mightiest Titan god after Cronus, and the most loyal warrior—known as the “Heavenly Traveler”!
Moreover, Hyperion was not only the Sun God but also possessed the divine aura of a War God, granting him exceptional combat prowess.
Since Cronus had sent him to capture Hades, Hyperion would naturally obey the orders!
He had set up a barrier, sealing the surrounding space-time precisely to prevent Hades from escaping again!
“Despicable Hyperion!”
“Say what you will, Hades!
Since I’ve found you, will you come with me on your own, or shall I escort you back?”
“Do you think you can corner me, Hyperion!”
Hades was enraged, and his eyes suddenly blazed with powerful cosmic energy.
In an instant, a mighty shockwave shattered the island into pieces, sending Hyperion flying into the air.
However, he quickly regained his composure.
Although a faint trace of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, this minor wound healed instantly for a Second-Class God like him.
Moreover, Hyperion wore a battle armor known as a Divine Armament, bestowed by Gaia.
Although Hades possessed the power of a Chief God, he was still an infant and could only use at best one-tenth of his true power.
Plus, he was now in unarmed equipment, without the bonus of a Divine Armament.
Even when his attack struck Hyperion, the Divine Armament neutralized most of its power.
That Hades could even wound Hyperion was already quite impressive!
If it had been Hestia or other newborn gods—let alone fighting—they probably wouldn’t even have known what “battle” meant!
“No wonder he’s the King’s son—born with such divine power!
If you were given another period to grow, among us Titan gods, perhaps only the King himself could defeat you!
But now…
come with me!”
Hyperion spoke, his patience wearing thin.
If Hades insisted on resisting to the end, then Hyperion would have no choice but to strike Hades down here!
Whether Hades could be killed or not—as the most loyal War God under Cronus—Hyperion would surely destroy any being that could threaten the King!
Hades said nothing in response, merely burning the small universe he could currently use.
The battle armors used by the Twelve Titan Gods—the Divine Armaments—were sacred artifacts bestowed upon them by Gaia, the Mother Goddess of the Earth.
Each of these Divine Armaments possessed destructive power and could serve as sturdy defensive artifacts, whose hardness far surpassed the Gold Cloths of the later Gold Saints.
Moreover, these Divine Armaments were not humanoid or other forms, but weapons—divine instruments combining attack and defense.
They were: Cronus’s Great Scythe, Hyperion’s Great Sword, Coeus’s Piercing Sword, Crius’s Scimitar, Oceanus’s Dagger, Iapetus’s Shears, Phoebe’s Curved Blade, Mnemosyne’s Great Axe, Tethys’s Great Hammer, Themis’s Spear, Rhea’s Fist Blade, and Theia’s Crossbow.
Although among these Divine Armaments, only Cronus’s Godslayer Scythe had been forged with the Primordial Light and possessed the power to kill gods—the other Divine Armaments were still sacred artifacts whose power should not be underestimated.
Hyperion’s Divine Armament was a great sword.
Although he was currently only wearing the protective battle armor of the Divine Armament, after the Titans donned the Divine Armaments, they could still use the ability—Imagine Materialize—to create their Divine Armament weapons from thin air without destroying the armor.
Some of the weapons created this way were even stronger than the original Divine Armaments.
However, since most Titan gods preferred to fight using their true power, very few used this ability.
“It seems you’re going to resist to the end!
Then I have no choice but to punish you here!”
Sensing Hades’s rising Cosmos, Hyperion stopped holding back and immediately used Imagine Materialize.
In the next moment, a great sword—the Divine Armament—appeared from nowhere, firmly grasped in his hand.
The blade of the great sword was adorned with symbols resembling patterns.
In the next second, Hyperion’s Cosmos fully erupted.
Behind him in the air hung a blazing black fireball, like a black sun.
Although Hades was a Chief God, at this moment he found it unbearably hot.
His small divine body was involuntarily drenched in sweat, his face pale.
“This is truly incredible, Hades!
You even blocked the King’s Godslayer Scythe, yet you show such a pitiful state under my great sword!
However, perhaps this is for the best.
At least you will be here to face punishment from us Titan gods!
Awaken, Hades!”
“Hyperion!”
Hades’s eyes narrowed, and his Cosmos instantly exploded, then condensed into a massive energy sphere that shot straight toward Hyperion.
In response, Hyperion let out a contemptuous snort.
Indeed, Hades was very strong and possessed exceptional potential.
If he grew up, even without a Divine Armament, Hades could easily handle him!
Unfortunately, there were no “ifs.” Now, Hades before Hyperion was nothing more than a little child—at best, just a bit annoying!
“Pointless resistance—die, Hades!
Solar Sword!”
Hyperion swung his great sword, and in the next moment, the black sun behind him immediately erupted with terrifying black flames.
The black flames directly clashed with Hades’s Microcosmic energy sphere, and in an instant, even the Microcosm was gradually burned away and consumed—completely reducing Hades’s released power to nothing.
