Chapter 1818: War of the Gods
After the meal, Xiao Zheng proposed to spar with Hades at the Martial Arts Arena.
However, Hades refused.
She recalled the scene of Xiao Zheng’s severe injury before, and even now she still had lingering fears. Therefore, no matter what Xiao Zheng said, she was unwilling to spar with him again. She simply dismissed him with a phrase, "more than enough is too much."
With no other choice, Xiao Zheng accompanied her back to the Temple for a chat.
Supposedly chatting, it actually felt more like Xiao Zheng was talking to himself, as Hades often took on the role of a listener. At most, she would occasionally agree, but most of the time she sat completely still on the Divine Throne like a statue.
However, this was also why Xiao Zheng liked to talk with her, because Hades never interrupted him, and no matter what he said, she never got angry or lost her temper.
Sometimes, to satisfy a mischievous whim, he even told Hades some risqué jokes.
Listening to this made the attendants serving nearby tremble with fright, fearing that Hades might lose control and start a fight with Xiao Zheng.
However, it turned out the attendants’ worries were completely unnecessary.
Hades not only did not get angry but her expression even became somewhat gentle. Although the change was subtle, it still shocked the attendant who served her day and night.
The attendant looked at Xiao Zheng and couldn’t help but feel admiration for him.
Because, besides Xiao Zheng, there was no one else in the world who could make the Netherworld King treat someone like this.
The two of them sat together until late at night.
Xiao Zheng seemed to have endless things to say, and it was only when the attendant reminded him of the time that he reluctantly stopped talking. Then he bid farewell to Hades and returned to the room prepared for him to rest.
The next day.
Xiao Zheng got up early and felt refreshed as he admired the majestic scenery outside the Netherworld King Temple.
When he arrived at the Temple, he found that Hades was already seated on the Divine Throne.
"Good morning."
Xiao Zheng greeted her with a smile.
Hades nodded gently, acknowledging his greeting.
Xiao Zheng stretched a bit and then said, "I’m leaving soon, no need to see me off. After all, I’m familiar with this place, and you don’t need to worry about me getting lost."
"By the way, if you have time, you really should get a phone. If possible, a computer would be even better. Then, whenever we have time, we can video call. If you don’t know how to use a phone or computer, you can have them teach you."
As he spoke, he pointed to the attendant standing nearby.
Upon hearing this, the attendant’s heart trembled and she quickly lowered her head.
What the Evil God said was truly terrifying!
Teaching the Netherworld King to use a phone and computer?
Even if given a hundred times the courage, she still wouldn’t dare!
Xiao Zheng rambled on for quite a while, and only when he seemed to have nothing more to say did he finally say, "Let’s leave it at this for now. I’ll save some words for the next time we meet."
"I’m leaving."
After finishing, he waved at Hades, his silhouette appearing quite suave as he left.
Hades couldn’t help but shake her head, her expression showing some helplessness.
However, soon enough, her face turned cold.
Vaguely, one could even sense a hint of killing intent emanating from her.
The attendant, not knowing what had happened, was so frightened that she kneeled on the ground in horror.
"You leave first."
Hades said coldly.
The attendant, hearing this, quickly got up and left.
Once the attendant was gone, the vast Temple was left with only Hades. She slowly left the Divine Throne and, somehow triggering a mechanism, the throne gradually moved back, revealing a deep staircase leading underground.
Under the Netherworld King’s Divine Throne, there was actually a secret passage!
Should this information get out, it would definitely shock all of Europe!
However, Hades remained expressionless as she walked straight into the passage. Once her figure was completely swallowed by the darkness, the throne moved forward to seal the entrance again.
In the dark passage, Hades walked alone.
The staircase was extremely long and deep, and when the cold wind blew by, it sounded like ghosts wailing beside you, along with the heavy scent of blood in the air. It was as if this staircase led directly to the true Netherworld.
After walking about a hundred meters, she finally reached a corner.
Inside the passage, light finally appeared.
In this second section of the passage, Everlasting Lamps were lit on both sides of the wall. The walls were also carved with numerous murals, and under the dim light of the lamps, one could see that these murals depicted a war.
A war of the gods!
Angels and the Blood Clan fought fiercely across the world, causing darkness to engulf the sun and moon, and the breaking of mountains and rivers. Ultimately, the angels, seen as symbols of light by mortals, were tragically defeated, with bodies falling incessantly on the battlefield!
As for the victorious Blood Clan, they stood triumphantly, trampling on the corpses of the gods, overlooking all living beings!
Having seemingly visited numerous times, Hades did not pay much attention to these murals.
After advancing several hundred meters more, the view before her suddenly opened up.
Hades finally walked into an Underground Palace, constructed with the same grandeur as the temple above, yet equally spacious and empty. Five pillars carved with demons supported the palace, and in the center of these pillars was a blood pool!
The blood pool wasn’t large, about twenty square meters.
Yet at first glance, it seemed bottomless.
The sight of crimson red was harrowing, as if it could swallow a person’s soul. If one were to describe it in a sentence, it would be: When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.
This blood pool before her was like an abyss.
The blood roiled, with waves of violent and terrifying ominous qi continuously emerging in the palace. Occasionally, as a wave rose, one could clearly see grotesque ghostly faces within.
They were howling!
They were roaring!
As if they were forever imprisoned by the blood pool, forced to sink in it for eternity!
If an ordinary person stumbled in here by mistake, they would surely be terrified to the point of being stunned, and might even be bewitched by these ghastly faces to throw themselves into the blood pool, becoming one of their kind...
As Hades appeared, the blood pool roiled even more violently.
Like a tsunami, the blood surged upwards, yet never spilled out of the pool in the slightest.
"Noisy."
Hades waved her robe, and a piercing scream echoed through the palace, as if she had struck someone with that wave, rendering the boiling blood pool immediately calm.
However, soon enough, an extremely terrifying and powerful presence slowly emerged within the blood pool...
