American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

But he was still not satisfied, he longed for more, he hoped that his underworld could become bigger and contain more dead people.

He soon set his sights on a new target, hell. This world, closely integrated with the human world, was the most suitable new territory for him.

He must get it!

"Hespera, pray to me and I can grant your wish."

Hespera didn't hesitate at all. She didn't care who the god who helped her was. She just wanted to defeat Shazam.

"I, Hespera, daughter of Atlas, pray to Hades, the great lord of the underworld, and ask you to grant me the power to kill Shazam!"

"As you wish!".

Chapter 231 Hades X Recruits Fiora

After making a promise to Hespera, Hades' raven ignited the flames of the underworld, and the flames danced and directly wrapped around Hespera.

Tess Adam took a step back calmly. The fire felt very dangerous to him.

Of course it is dangerous. This is the fire from the underworld, the kind of fire that all living beings fear the most.

It should be noted here that Hades has a very special position in the Olympian pantheon.

Although he is generally considered to be a member of the Olympian gods, he does not actually live in the World of Light or on Mount Olympus.

When the gods feasted on Mount Olympus, he would not appear unless he was invited.

The relationship between the three brothers of Zeus' generation is extremely delicate. Although Poseidon, the god of the sea, is nominally the god who rules the sea, the ocean is also an extension of the continent's authority.

Because the land and the sea are under the same sky, and everything covered by the sky is the territory ruled by Zeus.

Therefore, the status of Poseidon and Zeus is not equal. To be honest, he is just a vassal of Zeus.

When Poseidon coveted the ocean territory that accounted for 70% of the earth's surface, he was actually tricked by Zeus. At that time, there was no one in the ocean, and without people there was no faith. There was only a vast territory left.

If there weren't a group of sea-based fishermen and people in the ocean-going merchant fleet who believed in him, he would have fought Zeus on the spot.

But because of this, the relationship between Poseidon and Zeus was very tense for a long time.

In order to improve their relationship, Zeus finally agreed with Poseidon to send him a group of devout believers.

I believe everyone should be able to guess that the Atlantis Empire is the group of believers they agreed upon.

Before King Atlanus's technological inventions led to the downfall of his empire, Poseidon had countless opportunities to remind him, but he didn't.

He watched the sinking of Atlantis and soon after it sank, he gave them the ability to survive underwater.

It all seemed like it was arranged in advance.

But even so, Poseidon was still not strong enough to compete with Zeus in terms of faith because the Atlanteans had low fertility.

Even a toenails can tell that this must be related to Zeus.

His wife, Queen Hera, is in charge of marriage and childbirth. Wouldn't it be easy for her to adjust the fertility rate of the Atlanteans?

But all of Zeus's plans went wrong when it came to Hades.

Because the underworld is not within the realm of humans and gods, it is another dimension that is completely independent of the realm of gods and the human world.

When Zeus thought he had banished him to an uninhabited world, he discovered that his power had no influence over Hades' underworld.

His authority over the sky cannot include the underworld.

So this actually makes Hades the only god in the underworld, and his power in the underworld is almost equivalent to the supreme god in monotheism.

Ever since Hades became the master of the underworld, Zeus no longer dared to set foot in that land, because he could not be a match for Hades there.

Of course, in the divine realm or the human world, the situation is reversed.

Hades' power will be greatly suppressed in the real world.

Zeus went to great lengths to take away Hades' divine power.

He first had Cupid accidentally shoot Hades with a golden arrow, making him desire love.

Then he acquiesced to Gaia giving Persephone to Hades, making her the Queen of the Underworld and successfully dividing the power of the Underworld.

However, Persephone was not ambitious enough. She did not like the underworld and therefore rarely took the initiative to compete with Hades for the power of the underworld.

This allowed Hades, who had woken up from the love trap, to quickly regain power, but this also created a feud between him and Zeus.

Although he promised Zeus at the meeting of gods that he would never get involved in anything related to Shazam, he immediately regretted it as soon as he returned to the underworld.

Anyway, the emperor is far away and Zeus, who is in the new realm of gods, can't care about him who is in the underworld. Even if he wants to make trouble, what can Zeus do to him?

In fact, Dane had guessed one thing wrong before. Zod and others did not escape because of the explosion of Krypton, but Hades deliberately released them.

Neither Dane nor the Kryptonians had expected that the so-called Phantom World was actually the underworld. It was just that the portal opened by the Kryptonians was not under the jurisdiction of the civilized world, but belonged to the no-man's land in the underworld.

And Hades discovered this secret.

For tens of thousands of years, the Kryptonians have been exiling prisoners to the Phantom Zone, unaware that many of those criminals have been taken in by Hades.

Over time, there has been a huge army of Kryptonians in the underworld ruled by Hades.

However, there is no sun in the underworld, so they cannot exert the strength that Kryptonians should have.

Zod and others were experimental subjects deliberately thrown out by Haddish. He wanted to know whether existence like Superman was an exception or a universal phenomenon.

Even during the heyday of Kryptonian civilization, individuals as powerful as Superman rarely appeared.

But Zod's performance surprised him, which shows that the sun can give all Kryptonians the same super powers.

Hades controls an entire army of Kryptonians, and after tens of thousands of years of brainwashing, they have become Hades' loyal believers.

And now, he gave Hespera the authority to command and summon some Kryptonians.

Shazam might be able to easily defeat one Kryptonian, or maybe two or three, but how many can he defeat?

Hespera soon learned the news from the power Hades gave her and was overjoyed.

"I will definitely be able to defeat Shazam this time..."

"He is not alone," Tess Adam reminded.

Hespera simply smiled and said, "It doesn't matter how many helpers he has. Hades has gifted me with an invincible army!"

Tess Adam raised his eyebrows and said nothing. The demon lords thought the same thing at the time.

"Then we now..."

Hespera activated the divine power given to her by Hades, and a blue flame ignited around her. When the flames faded, ten warriors covered in black armor appeared in the temple.

They didn't say anything, but just stared at Hespera. Although she couldn't see their eyes, Hespera knew they were looking at her.

But she doesn't care about these things.

"'I need you to help me deal with someone, but before that, I want to see what you are capable of!'

…………

Dream world.

In the sunlight, Dane is fighting with a Kryptonian.

Every strike of Fiora can stir up countless sandstorms, and every attack can cause huge shocks.

The wind from her fists can create enormous wind pressure, and those with weaker constitutions may even be blown away by the aftermath.

This small fist contains a tremendous force that can shatter mountains and rivers with one blow.

However, her opponent was Dane, and although she tried her best to make every attack perfect, she still couldn't make him move a step.

Fiora's attack left him with only the tiny space beneath his feet, but the very place where he stood seemed more indestructible than anything else in the world.

Fiora's eyes emitted a strong red light, and a huge amount of heat shot towards Dane.

Dane reached out and caught the heat vision from her eyes in his palm. It was warm and felt pretty good.

Fiora flew forward, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Dane.

But he simply thrust his palm forward, reaching forward against his heat vision to grab Fiora's head.

His big hand made Fiora's face look smaller than his palm, and then Dane pushed hard, and Fiora flew headfirst into the distance.

With a loud "boom", a hill in the distance was smashed to pieces.

A few seconds later, Ophira flew out from the rubble of the mountain, but did not continue the attack.

"Not fighting anymore?" Dane tilted his head with a smile on his face.

"I'm no match for you." Fiora admitted defeat readily.

"So what do you mean by that? You neither kill me nor let me go, but just play with me every day?"

This was not the first time that Dane came here to fight her, but each time he beat her until she was exhausted and then left Ming.

After a while, when Fiora felt she could win, he came and dealt her a heavy blow, as if he was deliberately trying to amuse her.

"I want to recruit you to be the commander of my legion." Dane finally stated his purpose.

He thought Fiora's strength was sufficient.

Chapter 232 Surfaced

"Recruit me?" Fiora asked in surprise.

Dane nodded.

Fiora still has potential, and she should be considered one of the stronger warrior genes.

Not only is his physical fitness stronger than the average level, but his mental quality is also much more stable than that of the average Kryptonian.

At least the other Kryptonians weren't like her, daring enough to challenge him again and again.

"And there are enemies that even your abilities can't handle? Besides, isn't Kal-El one of your men? Isn't he enough?"

Dane wanted to explain that Clark was not his subordinate, but then he thought, it didn't make any difference, he just couldn't do the dirty work.

Besides, Clark is a straightforward person and he can't do dirty work. Red Hood is better.

"Clark... Kal-El, as you know him, is too upright. I need a more ruthless soldier."

"You need an executioner." Fiora understood the implication.

"Your words are a bit harsh, but your understanding is very accurate." Dane criticized her statement, but also agreed with her interpretation.

Fiora didn't object immediately, but thought for a moment before saying, "Is General Zod also within your invitation range?"

"In fact, he was the first person I invited."

He is also one of the only two Kryptonians who dares to challenge Dane, and he is more resilient than Fiora.

After every failure, I would try again with full energy the next time.

As a sparring partner, Zod is undoubtedly very qualified, but he is not the kind of person who can be conquered. He has a very strong will in his heart.

Even if he is temporarily inferior to others, he will definitely find an opportunity to stab you in the back in the future, so Dane has basically given up on him now.

Fiora, on the other hand, seems to be the type that is easier to obey and has a high degree of loyalty.

Don't say that joining Dane is equivalent to betrayal. Her loyalty to Zod is not only out of inertia, but more importantly, she believes that Zod can rebuild the Kryptonian civilization. This is Fiora's true inner wish.

Dane didn't just come here to play with her during this period, he was also trying to subtly understand what she was really thinking.

"Your goal is to restore Kryptonian civilization, right?"

Fiora looked at him in surprise. Although this was not a secret, she had never revealed her inner thoughts to outsiders.

Unlike other Kryptonians, they follow Zod either because they are impressed by his powerful abilities or because they hope to follow Zod to seize the enormous power of the Kryptonian Parliament.

Although they are genetically modified Kryptonians, they also have desires and want to pursue power that does not match their current status.

And Zod did promise them a share of his power, even though they failed on Krypton.

But if they could recover the Codex, they could rebuild a new Kryptonian civilization, one that would be subject to Zod's regime.

But Fiora truly believes in her heart that only Zod can lead Krypton to glory again, and this is also the source of her loyalty to Zod.

So as long as we grasp this root, she doesn't necessarily have to choose Zod, anyone who can fulfill her wish will do.

So Dane said to her, "If you just want to rebuild Kryptonian civilization, I can do that.

Furthermore, I will not restrict your freedom, nor will I demand your submission; you and your civilization can be completely free."
