Chapter 780 - 424: The Ancestor Dragon Who Has Lost the Will to Live; The Abyss God Appears [Double-Length, 6k]
Poseidon suppressed his laughter, forcefully patted his chest, and shouted loudly: "Received!"
Hades, wearing his Invisibility Helmet, remained elusive, barely visible in the shadows, refusing to reveal himself.
He only transmitted a message: "Understood!"
Hera and Demeter, along with other goddesses, watched their Divine King with a mix of sympathy and worry.
Xuanqing, the instigator, still maintained a compassionate God-like demeanor, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"I will go with you." He spoke up.
Zeus felt a tightness in the heart of the Ancestor Dragon, almost reflexively wanting to refuse.
[I fear that if you come along, even the Abyss will become an orderly Heaven.]
Yet, the words that came out were:
"According to Article 12 of the 'Team Action Safety Guidelines', bringing in a powerful reinforcement helps improve mission success rate. Your joining is in the highest interest of Mount Olympus and is approved."
The Ancestor Dragon finished speaking, silently shedding a tear in his heart.
Thus, the Olympian Gods set off just like that.
Their target remained the Tartarus Abyss.
Divine light pierced through the void, and they quickly reached the entrance to the Abyss.
It was an enormous dark vortex, as if capable of swallowing an entire galaxy.
A chilly, despairing, and chaotic aura gushed forth, enough to make any god with a weak will collapse on the spot.
"According to the 'Environmental Adaptability Agreement', the current environment has a continuous corrosive effect on the divine body, recommending the activation of the Divine Power Shield." Zeus, with no expression, announced.
The gods all raised their shields, resisting the Abyss's erosive aura.
Hades, however, was like a fish in water, his Invisibility Helmet made him perfectly merge with the darkness.
They advanced along the edge of the Abyss, heading deeper.
Here, there was no light, no time, only eternal downfall and suffering.
Countless ancient monsters imprisoned in darkness emitted silent roars, trying to drag them into doom.
But the Olympus Gods, wielding newly forged Divine Artifacts, exuded divine power, and those petty entities didn't dare approach.
Pídion lightly swung his Trident, and the Holy Spring Water that surged forth purified a large polluted area, accompanied by ethereal hymns of praise in the water.
The imprisoned monsters, upon hearing the song, had much of their pained expressions eased, as if receiving some form of redemption.
Zeus, Ancestor Dragon, was unbothered by what he saw, only focused on leading the team forward.
Soon, they arrived at the area mentioned by the Cyclops, where the Hundred-armed Giants were held.
It was an expansive plain, cast in bronze.
In the center of the plain stood three colossal cages that reached sky-high. The cages were made of unknown black metal, inscribed with powerful sealing Runes.
The three Hundred-armed Giants, Kotos, Briareos, and Geges, were locked within.
Each of them had fifty heads and one hundred arms, their bodies towering like mountains.
At the moment, they drooped their heads, in slumber, yet the terrifying power emanating from their bodies still caused space to warp.
However, guarding this plain was not just a Seal.
Before the three cages lay a giant dragon of unimaginable size.
This dragon appeared peculiar.
It had a goddess's beautiful head, a skeletal body, and thousands of scorpion-like tails.
"Kemp," Hades whispered this name.
"The Prison Director of the Tartarus Abyss, one of the embodiments of the Abyss's will."
This dragon named Kemp evidently noticed the intruders.
It slowly raised its head, with lava-like gaze locking onto Zeus's group.
"New gods of Olympus, you have crossed the boundary."
Kemp's voice was like countless metals grinding together, filled with piercing killing intent and warning.
"No passage allowed here."
Zeus stepped forward, the Thunderbolt Staff in his hand sparking with electricity.
"According to Chapter One of the 'Holy Liberation Declaration', all allies resisting the tyranny of old should be granted freedom."
"Our purpose here is to free the Hundred-armed Giants."
"Please step aside."
Kemp let out a deep dragon roar, shaking the entire Bronze Plain.
"Cronus's order: no one may release them."
"Those who disobey shall die."
Negotiations broke down and war was imminent.
"According to 'Battle Plan B', the target is confirmed as hostile, prepare for battle." Zeus calmly commanded.
Poseidon was the first to attack.
He raised his Trident high and shouted: "By the name of the Sea God, the storm descends!"
In an instant, endless seawater appeared out of nowhere in the Abyss, forming a gigantic vortex that reached the sky and earth, sweeping toward Kemp.
Within the vortex, faintly heard were the stirring hymns of battle sung by countless fish, shrimp, crabs, and shells.
Kemp dismissed it, opening its massive mouth to emit a jet-black Abyssal Dragon Breath.
The dragon breath, filled with corrosive and destructive power, instantly evaporated the seawater vortex, cutting the hymns off abruptly.
"My turn!"
Hera wielded a scepter symbolizing the authority over marriage and family, its tip blooming with a gentle yet tenacious light.
"The holy contract cannot be violated, the betrayer shall be punished!"
An invisible shackle materialized, attempting to bind Kemp's soul.
However, as the Prison Director of the Abyss, Kemp's will was long integrated with this chaotic realm, leaving Hera's Law attack with little effect.
The dragon swung its tail powerfully, akin to a black lightning, with strength that tore through space, fiercely lashing at the gods.
Hades's figure vanished instantly, dodging the strike.
While Zeus, the Ancestor Dragon, took a step forward, holding the Thunderbolt Staff before him.
"According to Article One of the 'Defense Code', the Divine King has the obligation to protect team members."
Boom!
The massive dragon tail clashed fiercely with the Thunderbolt Staff.
Zeus stood unmoved, while Kemp's dragon tail bore scorched marks left by the powerful Thunder Power.
Kemp cried out in pain, issuing an enraged roar.
The battle thus fully erupted.
Poseidon summoned countless sea creatures made of seawater, charging at the dragon one after another.
Hades moved like a ghost to Kemp's blind spots, using his new scythe condensed by the aura of Death to continuously slash deep wounds into the dragon's scales.
Hera, Demeter, and the other goddesses remained at the rear, continuously casting Divine Arts, weakening the dragon's power and providing support for their side.
Zeus, as the main attacker, wielded his Thunderbolt Staff, releasing destructive lightning that pierced through heaven and earth with each strike.
They cooperated seamlessly, displaying overwhelming Divine Power, momentarily matching the fearsome Abyssal Dragon.
Xuanqing, meanwhile, stood on the edge of the battlefield, never making a move.
His gaze pierced through the endless darkness, looking toward the deepest part of the Abyss.
There, an even older, mightier presence was slowly awakening.
That was the true Tartarus, the Abyss itself.
Xuanqing's lips slightly curled into a smile.
"My turn."
He took a step forward, instantly vanishing from sight toward the battlefield's core, a region of absolute 'nothingness'.
A humanoid figure formed of sheer Darkness stood quietly suspended there.
"This is not a place for you!"
"Get out of here!"
