Chapter 1819: Former Netherworld King and Seven Ancestors
Chapter 1819: Former Netherworld King and Seven Ancestors
The blood pool, which had just been calmed by Hades’ blow, started to boil again at this moment.
And the momentum was even greater than before. Within the rolling blood water, it seemed to nurture an extremely terrifying aura. When the water splashed back into the pool, a silhouette slowly emerged from the blood pool.
It was a blonde man, naked from the waist up.
All the muscle lines were as if they were sculpted, appearing extremely perfect.
He didn’t immediately open his eyes, but slightly opened his mouth, and then a blood spring rose from the pool and was completely swallowed by him. As he devoured more and more blood water, a trace of blood finally appeared on his face.
The water level of the blood pool dropped by more than a meter.
However, it still didn’t reach the bottom, and the strange thing was, in less than three seconds, the water level of the blood pool returned to its original height.
"Hades."
"We meet again."
The blonde man slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Hades standing in front of him, there was not a trace of surprise on his face.
Hades also remained indifferent.
However, if the attendants or priests who have long served at the Netherworld King Temple appeared here, they would surely be shocked to see the blonde man. Because this blonde man was the previous Netherworld King, Morren!
Rumor has it that he suddenly died years ago, with the cause unknown!
It was only after his death that Hades emerged and eventually seized the throne of the Netherworld King!
The two generations of Netherworld Kings met here in this underground palace, like a century meeting, full of absurdity and mystery. But neither of their faces showed a hint of surprise.
It was as if everything was so natural.
"You shouldn’t have awakened."
Hades was the first to break the silence.
Upon hearing this, Morren smiled, not at all like the terrifying Demon King who brought ten years of turmoil to Europe: "Hades, after all these years, you are still as cold as before."
"You shouldn’t have awakened." Hades repeated.
Upon hearing her words, Morren was silent for a while before speaking, "The time has come, and I naturally awaken. This blood pool built with Ancestor Blood Essence may protect my soul from extinction, but ultimately it deprived me of freedom, no different from being dead."
"Being able to let you live is already the greatest forgiveness for you." Hades said coldly.
"Forgiveness? Are you talking to me?" Morren opened his mouth and laughed, "I am the previous Netherworld King, your mentor, and also one of the eight ancestors of the Blood Clan. Don’t you think you’re disrespecting me too much?"
"From the moment you awakened, you no longer deserved my respect." Hades paused, then his gaze fell on the pool and said, "Unless you are like the other seven, eternally slumbering in this blood pool."
Hearing this, Morren showed disdain and said, "I am not like those seven fools. Though we are both ancestors, I am far stronger! That’s also the biggest reason I can awaken!"
"Moreover, do you think they don’t want to awaken? They just can’t wake up like I did!"
"Slumbering in the blood pool is your destiny." Hades said, "Go back, and I can pretend nothing happened."
Hearing the words "go back," Morren’s handsome face instantly became hideous.
His eyes flashed with killing intent, and he said coldly, "Go back? Having barely gained a chance for freedom, how could I possibly go back? Don’t be stupid, if you were me, you’d make the same choice!"
"What do you want?" Hades asked.
She was curious about why Morren suddenly awakened.
Upon hearing this, Morren’s face seemed to transform like a performance, with hideousness and anger quickly replaced by excitement: "I have already said! Now, I just want freedom! As long as you promise to help me, letting me be reborn, I can agree to any condition of yours!"
"My condition is only one, go back." Hades said.
Her indifference nearly drove Morren crazy.
But soon, Morren calmed down again, then said with a hint of sarcasm: "The reason you don’t want to see us eight awaken is simply because you’re worried about us competing with you for the position of the Netherworld King."
"I can assure you, as long as you help me gain freedom, I will absolutely not compete for the Netherworld King’s position. I’m serious, the position of the Netherworld King no longer interests me, all I want now is freedom."
"As long as you can help me find a perfect body, I can break free from the blood pool and regain freedom!"
Saying this, Morren paused slightly.
He licked his lips and said greedily, "I think the Evil God’s body is quite nice. If I could seize his body, my power might not decline, but rather increase!"
"How about it? As long as you help me get the Evil God’s body, I can not only promise not to vie for the Netherworld King’s position but also tell you the realm beyond Mid Marvelous Realm! Isn’t this your goal all along?"
"As long as you agree to my request, I can fulfill you!"
Morren at this moment seemed to turn into a demon, tempting Hades with words.
However, he ultimately underestimated Xiao Zheng’s position in Hades’ heart.
Learning that Morren set his sights on Xiao Zheng, a chill flashed in Hades’ eyes, a hint of murderous intent: "You’re courting death, I will definitely not agree with you."
Her resoluteness thoroughly infuriated Morren.
The blood pool boiled, blood surged!
Morren’s expression gradually became hideous and terrifying, gritting his teeth and angrily said: "You dare defy my will, Hades, do you really think that just because I’m trapped in this blood pool, I can’t do anything about you?"
"Since you don’t want to help me seize the Evil God’s body, then use your body as a substitute for the Evil God!"
Morren let out a long roar, his voice wave shook the entire underground palace.
Then his body jumped out of the blood pool, and slapped towards Hades.
At this moment, the aura that Morren exposed seemed to vaguely overpower Hades!
He actually possessed the terrifying power of Mid Marvelous Realm!
However, Hades’ face showed no hint of panic. Her hand extended from the wide sleeve, directly clashing with Morren’s palm!
Boom!
The terrifying shock sounded instantly echoed in the underground palace!
If not for the unique material of the five demon pillars supporting the palace, they might have shattered instantly under their attacks!
