A Guide to Conquering the Heavens Starting with Dragon Ball

Chapter 196 Divine War, The First Direct Confrontation with the Gods

As Jiang Chen sensed the aura of the underworld, his heart stirred with emotion. At that moment, the ferryman in the distance had already arrived in front of him.

"Friends from the Sanctuary!"

"I am Charon of the Celestial Star. Lord Hades has sent me to welcome you!"

A smiling voice rang out, and Jiang Chen immediately looked at the ferryman, who was wearing black armor.

Hearing his name.

Jiang Chen immediately realized who the person in front of him was.

If nothing unexpected happens, they should be Specters under Hades, the god of the underworld.

In the original story, Charon of the Celestial Star is a ferryman who carries the souls of the dead across the Sanzu River. However, he charges a fee for each person who wants to cross the river in his boat. Souls without money are left to wander the banks of the Sanzu River forever or fall into the icy water.

"This is troublesome!"

With a smile, Jiang Chen spoke softly, and then jumped onto the deck.

"No trouble at all!"

"Please come with me!"

Charon of the Celestial Star spoke with a smile.

Then he steered the boat away into the distance.

The sky of the underworld is gray, and the world is gray. Amidst layers of gloom, Charon, in his boat, gradually crosses over the celestial star.

A moment later, the group reached the deepest part.

Jiang Chen disembarked.

He was surprised to discover that he wasn't the only one there.

There were also a few familiar figures.

"Sea Warriors!"

She whispered something, looking somewhat surprised.

However, it was only a slight surprise, and Jiang Chen quickly came to terms with it.

After all, Athena's words this time were an order from Zeus, the king of the gods. Since it was Zeus's order, it couldn't possibly be limited to their Sanctuary.

It's not surprising that there are sea warriors.

Jiang Chen even suspected that there might be God Warriors, let alone Sea Warriors.

"A person from the Holy Land?"

As Jiang Chen's gaze focused on him, the Sea Warriors quickly noticed him as well.

Several people frowned involuntarily.

"Oh!"

"The Holy Land is truly useless; they've only sent one person so far!"

One of them spoke with a cold laugh, his face full of mockery.

"Hahaha, those useless trash in the Sanctuary have been around for ages. I wonder what Athena is keeping all this useless trash for?"

"Oh, I forgot, Athena is the weakest of the twelve Olympian gods!"

Another sea warrior echoed this sentiment.

Listening to the two of them say one thing at a time, Jiang Chen couldn't help but frown.

However, he hadn't even taken any action yet.

next moment.

"boom!"

A massive cosmic force suddenly descended, and in an instant, the Sea Warrior who had just spoken was sent flying.

"Didn't Lord Poseidon teach you manners?"

"How dare you comment on Lady Athena?"

A cold voice rang out, followed by a figure clad in jet-black armor, with golden hair, golden eyes, a shimmering pentagram on his forehead, and an aura of terror emanating from him, slowly emerging.

The moment he appeared, Jiang Chen's expression tightened.

"Lord Thanatos!"

"Lord Thanatos!"

The surrounding figures quickly bowed in greeting.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then bowed slightly.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed several other figures beside Thanatos, the god of death.

His attire was clearly different from that of ordinary Specters.

One of them should be the other half of the Gemini gods, Hypnos, the god of sleep.

As for the others, they were probably sent by Zeus, the king of the gods.

And that is indeed the case.

Those individuals are all second-level gods from the celestial realm.

One of them is even a first-level god.

This surprised even Jiang Chen.

At that moment, Thanatos, the god of death, spoke.

He announced the next steps to the crowd.

Their target this time is Osiris, one of the nine Ennead gods in the ancient Egyptian pantheon.

Osiris, one of the Ennead of Heliopolis, is the Egyptian god of the underworld, as well as the god of plants, agriculture, and fertility. In his previous life, he was an enlightened pharaoh, but was tragically murdered by his jealous brother, the desert god Set. Afterwards, he became the ruler of the underworld and the judge of death. He is the giver of civilization, the king of the underworld, and the one who judges whether the dead will attain immortality.

It occupies almost a third of the entire underworld and also controls most of the laws of death.

Hades could reach a higher level of strength if he could defeat this one, even if he couldn't defeat the others.

It might even be enough to forcibly take control of the entire underworld.

It is quite obvious that Osiris, as one of the Ennead of Heliopolis, is the god of the underworld in ancient Egyptian mythology.

Their strength is not so easy to deal with.

Even Hades himself has no time to deal with it now.

That's why he turned to Zeus for help.

Zeus not only sent down several top gods to help, but also conveyed orders to Poseidon and Athena.

That's how we've come together to have this strength today.

Thanatos, the god of death, made arrangements quickly.

Jiang Chen was soon assigned to the Specters.

Their sole objective is to deplete the power of the Osiris Death Warriors.

As for the rest, they don't need to do anything.

They didn't even consider what they could do.

Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't offer any explanation for this.

Even if his strength is greater than that of many others, at his current level, he is probably no less than Thanatos, the God of Death.

But so what?

He was just there to help.

I'm not here to risk my life.

After Thanatos, the god of death, made the arrangements.

Everyone quickly sprang into action.

A large number of Specters, along with three Marine Generals and Jiang Chen, rushed into Osiris's Underworld.

The fighting soon began.

With Jiang Chen's strength, he naturally swept away a large number of death fighters in an instant.

However, to avoid being too conspicuous.

Jiang Chen didn't exaggerate too much.

Even so, he was quickly targeted by the beings of the Osiris pantheon.

"Hades' lackey!"

"You're asking for it!"

A cold snort rang out, and the next moment a vast cosmos instantly enveloped Jiang Chen, the surrounding Hades warriors, and the three Sea warriors.

"Oh no, it's a god!"

The sea warrior who had previously spoken mockingly changed his expression, and his body trembled involuntarily.

He dared to mock Jiang Chen.

But when he actually faced the gods, he couldn't help but show a hint of fear on his face.

Enveloped by a vast microcosm.

Jiang Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

He never expected to encounter a deity so soon.

Moreover, judging from the aura of the deity, it is by no means weak, and is even comparable to a typical second-level god.

At least in Jiang Chen's perception, this person's inner universe is probably no less than that of Thanatos, the God of Death.

"Go to hell!"

The pitch-black microcosm pressed down with unparalleled power.

"Splash!"

The illusory tide swept in, and the next moment...

"boom!"

"Boom!"

Two powerful microcosms collided with a deafening roar.

At that moment, Jiang Chen suddenly moved.

Although he was reluctant to take action, now that the other party had already made their move, he had no intention of holding back.

Two enormous microcosms collided in mid-air. The pitch-black space seemed to begin to shatter layer by layer.

"This force?"

"You're not an ordinary person?"

Anubis's eyes widened, his gaze fixed intently on Jiang Chen.

His expression was one of disbelief.

He originally thought that a casual strike would instantly destroy the few ants in front of him.

Unexpectedly, among these ants was an elephant.

His attack was actually blocked.

He was surprised at that moment.

The people around were even more surprised.

Charon of the Tenma Star, one of the Specters, and the three Marine Generals were especially surprised.

"Gulp!"

The figure who had spoken earlier couldn't help but swallow hard.

The three looked at each other, a layer of cold sweat seeping from their foreheads.

At this moment, they recalled their previous reckless actions.

"How...how can he be so strong?"

One person couldn't help but speak up.

However, no one answered his words at that moment.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Jiang Chen in the distance, and on that divine being.

They couldn't help but feel nervous.

Jiang Chen paid no attention to any of that at the moment.

The eighth sense's cosmos manifested at this moment, the Gold Cloth was already donned, and stars began to light up one by one.

In an instant, they began to connect rapidly.

"Not bad strength!"

"However, you don't seem to be a god."

"snort!"

Anubis snorted coldly, and the vast universe within him expanded once more.

Its power is constantly rising.

Faced with this person's outburst, Jiang Chen remained silent; he simply charged forward to meet the attack.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar echoed, and a powerful aura swept through.

The battle between the two began to spread into the dimensional space.

At the same time, the boundless microcosm continued to expand, triggering a terrifying power akin to a galactic explosion.

One by one, the figures couldn't help but retreat.

"So strong!"

Charon of the Celestial Star fixed his gaze intently on the high sky.

Even he hadn't expected that the figure he was about to greet would be so powerful.

Those are gods.

Jiang Chen was actually able to contend with the gods.

This was almost impossible in this mythical age.

"Could it be?"

Suddenly, Charon of the Celestial Star seemed to realize something, and his heart skipped a beat.

In the age of mythology, mortals could not possibly resist the gods. If they could, there was only one possibility: Jiang Chen was probably a god.

The thought that he had actually welcomed a deity filled Charon of the Celestial Star with even greater excitement.

Of course, Jiang Chen was unaware of all this at the moment.

The battle with Anubis completely captivated him.

His power began to pour out without reservation, and the power of his inner universe was mobilized to its limit.

The void shattered layer upon layer.

The microcosm, intertwined with the laws of death, is constantly colliding with the pure microcosm.

The battle between the two evolved directly into an endless space.

Below, whether they were Death Warriors, Specters, Marine Warriors, or God Warriors, they were all constantly retreating.

The battle between the two has gone on for far longer than a thousand days.

Rather, it is at a level above the Thousand-Day War.

Meanwhile, in a higher dimension of the underworld, an earth-shattering battle is unfolding.

On one side is Hades, the god of the underworld, and on the other is Heliopolis, one of the Ennead, the god of the underworld in ancient Egyptian mythology.

In addition, several other deities are constantly clashing.

Hades, the god of the underworld, is very powerful, but Osiris is equally powerful.

They were completely frozen in place.

"Hades, you are not qualified to obtain my Law of Death!"

"It would be more appropriate to send Zeus!"

A cold laugh rang out, and Osiris's eyes flashed with anger.

He never expected Hades to suddenly turn against him, especially since he had previously helped Hades annex the territories and laws of several underworld lords.

But to my surprise, it was him when I turned around.

An aura swept across the land, the immense will of the gods spreading outwards, and the power to end all things continued to spread.

However, at this very moment...

"boom!"

A blazing sun suddenly plummeted from the sky.

It abruptly interrupted the fight between the two.

"Boom!"

Terrifyingly high temperatures permeated everything, instantly turning the surroundings into a scorching sea of ​​fire. At the same time, an equally powerful will of the gods suddenly descended.

"uh-huh!"

Osiris let out a muffled groan, his figure involuntarily retreating.

A trickle of blood involuntarily seeped from the corner of his mouth.

His breath began to tremble violently.

But at this moment he couldn't care less about any of that. His eyes were fixed on the blazing sun, and his heart was trembling violently.

"Apollo, the sun god!"

With a deep voice, Osiris then abruptly looked at Hades, the god of the underworld.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

He never expected that Apollo, the sun god, would arrive here at this moment.

Apollo, the sun god, was clearly the son of Zeus.

There's no way they could be here.

But it happened at this moment.

Moreover, it didn't just appear; it directly intervened in their battle, assisting Hades, the god of the underworld.

But how could that be?

Zeus and Hades were clearly mortal enemies.

They fought for the power of the God-King for countless years.

Thoughts raced through his mind, and soon, a single idea flashed through his mind.

Osiris's expression changed.

"I see!"

"This is all part of your conspiracy!"

The words slipped out instantly, his expression revealing undisguised shock and horror.

"So, you knew!"

"But it doesn't matter anymore!"

"It's time for you to end this!"

Under the blazing sun, Apollo, the sun god, slowly emerged, his aura surging. At that moment, a massive will of the gods swept over Osiris.

Death permeated the surroundings, and the same powerful will of the gods swept over them.

Apollo's strength was slightly inferior to Hades, the god of the underworld, but only slightly. Hades plus Apollo, the sun god.

The entire surrounding spacetime was completely sealed off.

Even if Osiris wanted to leave, he couldn't leave at this moment.

Moreover, at this moment he already felt an unprecedented sense of impending death.

Gods are virtually immortal.

But it's only almost immortal, not truly immortal.

Especially when laws and authority are devoured, even gods will die.
