Chapter 395 The Conspiracy of the Souls of the Gods, a Counter-Espionage Scheme
Poseidon, the god of the sea, observed that there were many divine souls here, but only Hades, the god of the underworld from his own world, and the twin gods.
There is also Hades, the god of the underworld from another world, who possesses a cosmos; the other gods are merely souls with divine power.
Therefore, Poseidon quickly realized that these gods were not from their world, but came from another world, which meant that their defeat was not unjust at all!
This being named Rhodes has likely conquered more than one pantheon! And there may be even more in the future.
But something's a little strange! Why is my condition in this world so bad? Poseidon's soul from the God of War world is also imprisoned here.
However, his condition was already extremely poor, with only a trace of soul power remaining.
"Everyone, does anyone know what happened to me in the other world? Why is his soul power so weak?" Poseidon, the Sea God, looked at the extremely weak soul and asked with a puzzled expression.
"The soul power of Poseidon in our world has been greatly extracted, and the god named Rhodes possesses a very special power."
"He can extract our soul power. He can use the soul energy of us gods to do some terrifying things. We are all just his reserve food," Zeus said.
Zeus had already foreseen the betrayal that had occurred in the Olympian realm, and even the betrayal of some of his adopted son Kratos's weapons.
Rhodes likely used soul energy to give those weapons life, but this was only Zeus's conjecture, so he didn't say it aloud.
"We may not be from the same world, but we are all prisoners in the same cell now."
"So that's how it is. I was just wondering why Zeus had become so cowardly and why his divine power had weakened to this extent. It turns out we're not from the same world," Hades, the god of the underworld, said.
I glanced at Zeus, who was sealed away. Although he was also a god-king, this guy's power was simply too weak.
Having divine power but lacking a divine cosmos is like having gasoline but no engine.
Without entering the will of the gods, the soul loses its immortality.
Unlike Hades, whose soul could not be destroyed even by the primordial gods unless a specific god-killing weapon was used.
"Hades, why do you possess such a peculiar power? We've never seen this kind of power before." Zeus from the God of War world snorted coldly, looked at his elder brother, and asked with a puzzled expression.
Now, almost all of the Greek gods, except for Hephaestus and Aphrodite, are imprisoned here.
Zeus wasn't particularly surprised that Hades was imprisoned here, but what truly puzzled him was why Hades was so powerful and why he had awakened this power called the Cosmos.
"After coming to this world, I joined the ranks of a man named Rhodes. Rhodes awakened my divine cosmos and allowed me to enter the will of the gods," Hades said.
"You've really fallen from grace, Hades actually sided with someone else," said Hera, the Queen of Gods, with a look of utter disdain.
"Hmph, you still blame me? What kind of people were the Olympian gods back then? Don't you know yourselves? We were all disturbed by the curse power of the Titans."
Only I, because I stayed in the underworld to guard those Titans, was exposed to negative emotions for a long time, so I was not affected.
"And when I surrendered, Zeus had already been defeated. If it weren't for saving you, I wouldn't have been imprisoned by him again, and even my physical body wouldn't have been destroyed by him," Hades from the God of War world said.
"This whole thing started with that Spartan. We shouldn't be fighting amongst ourselves now; instead, we should find a way to escape from here," said Athena's soul form from the God of War world.
Although both were spirits, he and Zeus underwent some transformation because they were killed by the Holy Sword of Olympus. Even in their spirit form, they possessed extremely powerful divine strength.
As for Hades, the god of the underworld, he possesses divine power due to his cosmos. In his current state, the three of them are the most powerful here.
"Perhaps we can join forces. With so many gods gathered together, if we can escape, I can help you awaken your divine cosmos."
"I will allow you to enter the will of the gods, and then you can seize human bodies," said Poseidon, the Sea Emperor from the Saint Seiya world.
"Awakening the divine cosmos isn't a problem, but can you help us?"
"Of course, no problem. I can't do it alone, but Hades can. And we have two Hades now. Hades is very proficient in soul energy."
Other gods may not be able to awaken the divine cosmos in a soul, but Hades certainly can, am I right, brother? Poseidon said, looking at Hades.
"Hmph! It's a bit troublesome, but I can do it."
"Poseidon from another world, and Hades, the god of the underworld—if we join forces, we do have a chance to escape! First, help us awaken that power called the Cosmos," Zeus said.
As a powerful god-king, Zeus became mentally unstable due to a curse, resulting in his entire pantheon being wiped out by an outsider god. Zeus harbored a deep grudge about this.
In another world, he had already heard the three gods talk about the microcosm. This power was extremely strong. If he could obtain it, then he could gather the power of the Olympian gods.
With the power of Poseidon and Hades from another world, they will surely be able to defeat that bastard named Rhodes and wash away their shame.
"We should join forces, but what should we do? That guy has us imprisoned here, and we can only stay in this container!"
"We can't even touch each other, so how can we awaken our divine cosmos under these circumstances?" Athena from the God of War world asked.
That's a good idea, but all of their souls are imprisoned separately, and the containers that imprison them are made of divine steel, a very hard metal. The sealing bottles they were cast in, along with the sealing power on them, make it impossible for them to escape.
"Hahaha! The incantations on this are from Athena. I've been dealing with Athena for thousands of years."
"This seal is just a little girl's trick. I can break through it anytime I want," Poseidon chuckled.
After all, he had been playing with that little girl Athena for thousands of years. During every Holy War, Poseidon would only cause a little trouble before being sealed away by Athena.
Although the sealing bottle can seal most of its power, Poseidon could still escape from it if he were desperate.
"If you can break this seal, then why didn't you leave before?" Athena from the God of War world asked.
"Oh! You should know that my dear little niece breaking through this seal will consume a lot of my soul energy. If I don't get it replenished, I will be caught and brought back very soon after I go out."
"And it would also expose my abilities. In that case, I naturally have to discuss it with you and choose the right way before leaving," Poseidon said.
Upon hearing this, Hades, the god of the underworld in the Saint Seiya world, smiled slightly, realizing that his older brother was indeed quite capable.
He was defeated by Athena after each holy war and banished back to Elysium, but Poseidon was not banished back to the sea; instead, he was directly sealed away by Athena.
However, after being sealed too many times, Athena's sealing bottle was no longer a suitable prison for Poseidon, and Poseidon discovered a flaw in Athena's sealing bottle.
Poseidon can break free from this sealed bottle by consuming a certain amount of soul energy; among all the gods here, only Poseidon can do so.
"My brother's meaning is simple: it consumes a certain amount of soul energy, so it needs to be replenished with some soul energy."
"And the Poseidon in your world is already half-dead, so hand over his soul energy to my brother Poseidon!" Hades, the god of the underworld in the Saint Seiya world, made the request on behalf of Poseidon.
"Haha! Hades really knows me well. To break free from Athena's seal, I need to consume a lot of my soul power."
"Perhaps you can give me the soul of Poseidon, the sea god of your world. Anyway, he doesn't have much soul energy left." After saying this, Poseidon looked greedily at the Olympian gods of the God of War world.
The extremely weak soul of Poseidon had only had a large amount of its soul power extracted, but its throne as the Sea King remained intact. Therefore, as long as one obtains that soul of Poseidon...
The energy he expended to break free of the seal will not only be replenished, but his divine power will also increase significantly.
"Zeus! Poseidon is useless now. Even if we escape, he can't be restored to his original state," Athena from the God of War world said with a gleam in her eyes.
"He is, after all, my brother. What do you think of that guy? He is the God of War of our world. Perhaps his soul energy can replenish your strength," Zeus said, pointing to Kratos, who was imprisoned beside him.
"Zeus! I will kill you before I die!" Kratos's spirit roared.
But having lost the power of hope and his physical body, Kratos's soul energy is no match for Zeus.
"No! Father, Kratos cannot be harmed. Kratos is the key to our fight against that guy named Rhodes. Sacrificing Poseidon's soul is worthwhile, since he's already in this state anyway."
"But Kratos is different. Kratos possesses immense fighting power. If he awakens his divine cosmos, he will undoubtedly become our strongest force. Moreover, he is also your son and father," Athena said.
"Hmph! Look at this Spartan! I've forgiven him time and time again, and even made him a god of war. Haven't I been good enough to him?"
"But he was still not satisfied and still chose to take revenge on me. I don't understand what he did to wrong you," Zeus said.
"You don't understand his father, but I can persuade him. Kratos, think about it, don't you want to take revenge on that god named Rhodes?"
He attacked you with despicable means, banished your soul, and even kidnapped your wife and daughter.
Don't you want to rescue your wife and daughter? Do you have such a deep grudge against Zeus? The deaths of your mother and brother were just an accident.
You killed your mother with your own hands, your brother was killed by Thanatos, the god of death, and Thanatos has already been killed by you.
"Your father never intended to harm your brother and mother. If he had truly wanted to kill the assassin, you wouldn't have even had the chance to meet them, you wouldn't have even had the chance to grow up." Athena began to earnestly persuade Kratos.
After hearing Athena's words, Kratos calmed down. He hated Zeus very much, but he also cared about his daughter and wife.
Seeking revenge against Zeus can perhaps be put aside for now. First, rescue his wife and daughters, and then take revenge on that bastard named Rhodes. Kratos's hatred for Rhodes is now no less than that for Zeus.
"Then let's join forces to deal with that guy named Rhodes first, and put aside our hatred for each other for now," Kratos said with a cold snort.
"That's right, Spartan. You must have your own opinions, otherwise you will always be someone else's pawn."
"Believe me, Zeus isn't as bad as you think, especially after he's returned to normal," Athena said.
"Gentlemen," Poseidon said, "if you haven't reached a consensus, I'm about to break the seal. Prepare Poseidon's soul power for me."
The gods of the God of War world nodded to each other, agreeing to Poseidon's conditions.
Since Poseidon from his own world is doomed anyway, let him make some contribution to the Olympian gods!
"Poseidon of another world, now that we gods have lost our bodies, are you sure you can take over human bodies?" Hera, the queen of the gods, asked.
The other Olympian gods nodded to each other, also wanting to know the answer, since now all of them were just souls.
To these gods, the idea of taking over a human body was utterly absurd. What use was a human's weak and cowardly body?
These gods could even use their divine power to create humankind; the humans of their own world were created by Athena and Prometheus.
"Trust me, you can definitely do it. Although it will be slightly inferior to your original spiritual body, it won't be much worse," Poseidon said.
Poseidon had a lot to say about this, and even his brother Hades had a lot to say, when the two of them were waging a holy war against Athena.
Each time, it uses a human body. Although it cannot unleash the absolute power of its original body, it can still unleash about 50% to 60% of its power.
"Wait! Zeus, my son, release your father, and I can help you. Besides, we Titans have a grudge against that guy." At this moment, the Titans sealed in the bottle spoke.
Upon hearing this, the gods of the Saint Seiya world were quite curious about these Titans.
These Titans were rather peculiar, extremely peculiar. They possessed powerful primal divine power, though it was likely concentrated in their bodies. Their souls were even inferior to those of the Olympian gods.
If their souls also possess primal divine power matching their bodies, then Hades and Poseidon would have no choice but to rely on them.
After all, they were primordial gods. Awakening their cosmos meant they possessed ultimate power. In this world, their father, Cronus, was also a primordial god.
The Titans of another world were simply bizarre. Despite possessing primal divine power, they failed to utilize it and instead displayed extreme weakness in their divine souls, making them inferior even to the Olympian gods.
"Hmph! Father, I can release you, but you must obey my commands," Zeus said.
Zeus, the Titan who was his father, had no affection for his ancestors, and the other Olympian gods felt the same way.
"We will not submit to you Olympian Zeus, but we can cooperate and fight together against that one named Rhodes," the Titans said.
"You actually want to negotiate with me now? What right do you have? You defeated Titans!" Zeus roared.
If I leave this place, I can only be the leader myself, even though Hades and Poseidon, the gods of the underworld, are very powerful in another world.
But he was Zeus, the king of the gods, a man destined to rule everything. Even when dealing with Rhodes, he had to prioritize himself as the king of the gods.
"Please! I'm telling you, now is not the time for infighting! The more allies we have, the more opportunities we have." Poseidon, the Sea King from the Saint Seiya world, said somewhat speechlessly.
At a time like this, wouldn't it be better to have another ally?
The soul energy of some primordial gods is indeed very weak, but that doesn't mean they can't awaken. After their divine microcosms awaken, they are at the level of Death and Sleep.
As long as they occupy a suitable human body, they can still exert some combat power. When so many gods attack together, even that guy named Rhodes won't be able to stop them.
"When I served Lot, I learned about the special prisons he built. Perhaps I can find a way to help you escape," Hades, the god of the underworld, said.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!" Poseidon snorted and immediately ignited his divine cosmos and soul energy, breaking through Athena's seal bottle.
It also unlocked the seal of Hades, the god of the underworld in Saint Seiya, as well as the seal bottles of other gods.
Rhodes, hiding in the shadows, smiled slightly. This time, Hades wasn't the only undercover agent!
Hades, the god of war and the god of the underworld, wasn't the only god he had turned against his own side. (End of Chapter)
