Cut off my way home? You'll sacrifice the entire other world in return!

The ancestor of Yuanliu has come a long way step by step.

With each step, the ground beneath their feet turned into lava.

His once cloudy old eyes now radiated an aura of majesty that made people afraid to look directly at him.

"monster."

The old ancestor's voice was deep and resonant.

"You have a smell that I don't like."

"That's a stench that desecrates life and toys with the soul."

"What I hate most in this life is people like you who don't respect death."

"What do you take life for?!"

He raised the long sword in his hand.

The flames on the blade were not ordinary fire, but soul fire capable of burning even the soul to ashes.

"All things in the universe will turn to ashes!"

"Blazing Fire!"

"boom!"

As he swung his sword, the flames on it instantly surged, transforming into a vast, all-encompassing sea of ​​fire that swept towards Hades.

Wherever the fire passed, everything, from buildings to the air, was vaporized.

Even the once invincible skeleton soldiers were instantly reduced to ashes in the face of this extreme heat, without even having time to scream.

"Oh?"

Hades looked at the sea of ​​fire rushing towards him.

The red light under the hood brightened slightly, as if the person had become a little interested.

"That's interesting."

"But that's all."

Hades did not dodge.

He rushed straight into the sea of ​​fire.

He let the raging flames, strong enough to burn the heavens, scorch his robes.

The robe caught fire and turned into black smoke before dissipating.

His withered, pale body, yet exuding an eerie beauty, was revealed.

There was an invisible membrane around his body.

That was the shield of death energy, and also the embodiment of the law of death.

"fire?"

Hades' voice came from the center of the sea of ​​fire.

Still indifferent and calm.

"In the face of true death."

Temperature is also meaningless.

He swung his sickle.

The black blade flashed and sliced ​​through the sea of ​​fire.

The black power of death collided with the red flames.

It makes a hissing sound.

The flames were actually...afraid?

Those raging fire elements lost their vitality the moment they came into contact with the aura of Hades, turning into dead flames that quickly went out.

Ancestor Yuanliu's expression changed.

In his two thousand years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen someone who could withstand his Shikai head-on and even suppress the flames in reverse.

"it is good."

"In that case..."

"Then I'll show you what real hellfire is like."

The patriarch of Yuanliu pointed the blade downwards.

Grip the knife handle tightly with both hands.

The soul pressure on his body surged again, and the surrounding space began to collapse on a large scale, unable to withstand this power.

"Real Name Liberation..."

"Ember Fire·Tachi."

hum!

All the flames suddenly disappeared.

They all retracted back into the seemingly charred knife.

The blade was charred black and emitting blue smoke, looking just like an ordinary fire poker.

But at this moment, the knife possesses a temperature similar to that of the core of the sun.

Fifteen million degrees.

"The Sword of Blazing Fire!"

The patriarch of Yuanliu has disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of Hades.

A simple slash.

Hades' hood was completely blown off by the airflow.

He revealed a pale, somewhat effeminate face (the face of a fallen elf from a certain world he had merged with).

He stared at the charred katana that had fallen to the ground.

A hint of appreciation finally appeared in his eyes.

"That was a good cut."

"A flame capable of cultivating such a rudimentary form of rules in this dimension."

"You're a genius."

"pity."

"Your opponent is me."

Hades did not use his scythe to block.

He made a move that left everyone speechless.

He stretched out his withered hand.

He grabbed directly at the blade with a power of 15 million degrees.

"court death!!"

Ancestor Yuanliu roared.

How dare they catch his real name with their bare hands?

This is the greatest insult to him!

"Smack."

A soft sound.

That sword, powerful enough to destroy the spirit world.

stopped.

It was held in the palm of Hades' hand.

It wasn't even broken.

An extremely dense black gas was tightly enveloping Hades's palm.

"What...?!"

Ancestor Yuanliu's eyes widened, and his pupils contracted sharply.

His proud flame was suppressed?

"Fire is a symbol of life."

Hades said softly.

"But everything must be extinguished in the face of death."

He applied a little force.

"Destroy".

Sizzle....……

The charred katana instantly lost all its heat.

The fire law above was forcibly extinguished.

It turned into real scrap metal.

"No...this is impossible..."

Ancestor Yuanliu spat out a mouthful of blood.

His soul was severely damaged when his natal weapon was destroyed.

The despair of a collapsed faith is worse than physical pain.

"That's the difference in power."

Hades loosened the scrap metal.

The sickle in his other hand was raised high.

"Your soul is very strong."

"Full of fighting spirit and fire."

"If I turn you into my undead warrior."

"It should be a great piece of work."

Come on, join us.

"To become part of eternal death."

The scythe fell, slicing through the body of the Yuanliu Ancestor without any resistance.

"Thump."

That strong body collapsed.

An aged yet solid soul was pulled out by the scythe.

That soul was still struggling, still roaring, and still burning with illusory flames.

"Release me! I will protect this place!"

"Be quiet."

Hades took out a black bottle.

They forcibly stuffed the soul of the Yuanliu Ancestor into it.

Then some primordial demonic energy was poured into it.

"The demonization begins."

A piercing scream came from inside the bottle.

That is the pain of having one's soul reshaped and one's memories altered.

After a while.

The screams stopped.

Hades opened the bottle cap.

A ball of black flame floated out.

It fell to the ground and transformed into a tall skeleton.

The skeleton was entirely black, with flame patterns carved all over its bones.

In its hand, it held a bone knife formed from black flames.

It knelt on one knee and bowed its head to Hades.

"Your subordinate... Jin."

"Greetings, Lord Hades."

With the fall and transformation of the captain.

The entire Soul Reaper's will to resist completely collapsed.

Even the strongest gods have become the enemy's lackeys.

What else are they fighting for?

Despair spread.

The undead army marched straight in.

This spirit city, which has stood for tens of thousands of years, has become a dead city today.

Hades hovered above the ruins.

Looking down at the new recruits who had been converted.

Satisfied nodded.

"Master is right."

"This is indeed a good source of recruits."

"Next, we should go and take a look at that so-called Spirit King Palace."

"I heard that was the wedge of this world?"

"What would happen to the world if we removed him?"

A cruel smile crept onto Hades' lips.

He turned around and looked at the floating palace in the sky.

The so-called Zero Squad lives there.

"Lord Taiichi should be arriving soon."

"It's better to leave those tough nuts to crack to him."
