Aside from the most elite and powerful individuals, individual combat strength is not the entirety of war. The combination of technology with individual combat strength and tactics is what determines the course of a war.

...

"The 3,178th battle group of the Underworld has cleared the Holy Realm enemies in area B2 and is returning to Earth in area A1. Command Center, please convey my sincerest respects to Lord Hades..."

...

P.S.: I'm begging for everything, I'm begging for everything.

I woke up to find the city under lockdown... Who could have predicted that...?

Chapter 152 Thales: Who is the Enemy? (First Update!)

"Command center received. Thank you for your hard work. Lord Hades will watch over every warrior who loves the Underworld."

The command center responded to the 3,178th warship group of the Underworld. This was the umpteenth time the command center had received greetings from representatives of various warship groups to Hades.

Hades' charisma in the underworld is immense, not only because of his immense power, but also because of the many stories about him that circulate in the underworld.

Leading the wolf clan to defeat one powerful enemy after another, and making one race after another submit to the underworld, the footage of Hades' battle against Guigu today will be another chapter in Hades' legendary deeds.

A soldier from the underworld who witnessed this war recorded this photograph.

Bathed in the glow of the massive black hole, Hades, clad in silver-black armor, thrusts his grey-black spear, his head slightly raised as he gazes towards the black hole...

The captured photo was transmitted through various private channels in the Underworld, so much so that the Underworld warriors in the fourth and fifth parallel universes also learned of the prowess of Hades in the third parallel universe.

This seemingly profound gaze is actually Hades searching for Guigu's whereabouts, preparing to use his thrusting spear to deliver a devastating blow to eliminate all traces...

The Lion King, who was directing the battle in the fifth parallel universe, also saw this image data. He also learned that Guigu had died at the hands of Hades. His brows furrowed slightly in his serious expression.

Guiguzi...

If ranked by combat strength, Guigu could be considered the second or third most powerful figure in the Holy Realm, and he was also Hades' right-hand man.

Despite being the second or third in command, he was unable to compete on equal terms... leading to Hades having to confront him. If Snow Queen were to launch a sneak attack, Hades would undoubtedly be in a passive position.

strength...

The Lion King silently clenched his fists, a glint of desire for power flashing in his eyes.

As the elder who has followed Hades the longest, he naturally knows what the underworld lacks most right now.

Cutting-edge combat capabilities.

Top-tier combat forces capable of relieving the pressure on Hades.

Their only disadvantage against the Holy Realm is their elite combat power. The Holy Realm has three Nebula-level combatants, although one has already been eliminated by Hades, but... there is still Yuan Zheng.

As long as the Snow Queen adjusts her strategy and retreats to the Holy Realm, two Nebula-level combatants are fully capable of resisting the invasion of the Underworld... or at least holding out until the day the seven parallel universes split apart...

Perhaps... bringing in Karl, He Xi, and others like him who were pulled from the eighth parallel universe into the underworld to participate in this war would be a clever tactic?

...

At this very moment, Bai Xiao, who is at the center of the discussion, is on Earth.

Earth, a planet plagued by disasters.

What happened to this tiny planet Earth in just a few short hours?

Two cosmic-level civilizations arrived, followed by a chaotic battle. Then, a dog's head smashed its body with an axe, and it seemed like it was going to die, but fortunately, it was forcibly stitched back together.

Although it has changed a lot, it is still at least spherical.

Then... it got even more outrageous. The clash of nebula-level energy nearly shattered him, and then he faced a black hole. Fortunately, the black hole hadn't been there for long, otherwise he would have been completely destroyed.

Without the protection of the underworld, Earth would never have survived this war.

...

"Lord Hades."

Upon seeing Hades appear, Whale Soul hurriedly led his people over. He knelt down before Hades with a thud, and the whale shark clan members behind him also knelt down.

"Thank you, Lord Hades, for saving my entire clan."

"Stand up..." Bai Xiao said calmly, seeing the Whale Shark King about to get emotional.

"Since you are determined to lead your race to stand up and throw off the chains of slavery, then do not kneel down so easily again."

"Make yourself strong, make your people strong, and don't let your people become weaklings imprisoned by servility. This is the meaning of becoming a leader, the meaning of becoming strong."

Well...

As Whale Soul listened to Hades' words, his memory seemed to drift back to that night when he had his conversation with Hades. The first time, it was to strengthen his resolve to lead his people to stand up, and this time... it was to tell him not to kneel down so easily again.

The meaning of being strong...

He slowly straightened up, looked at Hades, and his eyes were filled with respect.

"Lord Hades, I will surely become a leader like you. I will lead my race to firmly suppress our enemies..."

Suppression...

These two words are very meaningful.

Hearing this, Jin Yi, the leader of the Golden Elephant Clan who had miraculously survived not far away, was startled. He hurriedly came over, a fawning look flashing across his fat face, which was stained with a mixture of various substances.

"Lord Hades! My Golden Elephant Clan will also obey your will, and we will certainly stand up and, under your leadership, firmly adhere to the principles of the Underworld..."

"..."

This guy's still alive?

Whale Soul noticed that he raised an eyebrow slightly.

This guy's really tough...

White Owl didn't even glance at the leader of the Golden Elephant Clan.

Like a reed in the wind, swaying with the wind, lacking personal beliefs and a firm stance, constantly wavering between various forces, such a person will ultimately become someone whose heart is imprisoned by servility...

Bai Xiao now understands why the Golden Elephant Clan became slaves of the Whale Shark Clan 100,000 years later in the original story. With a leader like that, the Golden Elephant Clan was doomed...

He neither attacked Jin Yi nor paid any attention to him.

Leave it to the whale shark king to handle; he will not interfere in the conflict between the strong and the weak.

...

Looking at the leader of the Golden Elephant Clan from 100,000 years ago, Taire suddenly understood why his race had been reduced to slaves of the Whale Shark Clan 100,000 years later.

He turned his gaze to Hades, who, after all, was the real big boss of the underworld.

He originally thought the Underworld was the enemy, and that they should stand with the Holy Realm against the Underworld. But now, after traveling back 100,000 years, he saw the hypocrisy of the Holy Realm, which made him doubt his own stance.

Who is the enemy?

The sacred realm, chanting slogans of love and peace, falsely accuses the whale shark clan. Their awakening is also falsely portrayed as being bewitched by the underworld, forcing the whale shark king to submit...

The underworld, which is said to be the source of war and the destruction of peace among races, calls on the whale shark race to stand up and resist the rule of the golden elephant race with dignity and freedom.

In this war, the Holy Realm seems to be the enemy, while the Underworld appears to be the benefactor helping the weak awaken and stand up...

A thick fog rolled in, and he stood in the fog, unable to distinguish who his enemies were.

If leading one's race to rise up in rebellion can be considered a form of underworld indoctrination, then using this ideology as a criterion for judging whether someone is from the underworld, he did the same thing as the Whale Shark King ten thousand years ago...

Does that mean... he also became a person of the underworld?

Chapter 153 People's prejudices are like a mountain... (Second update!)

Seeing that Thales was looking at him, Bai Xiao also looked back at Thales.

He was still quite interested in this super beast warrior from 100,000 years in the future.

Crossing timelines and returning to the past... this is the setting of the Super Beast Dimension, but traveling back to the past using technology is difficult...

Seeing the two gazing at each other, Whale Soul suddenly realized something.

“Lord Hades, although this man is from the Golden Elephant Clan, he just saved me. I don’t think he is an enemy of the Underworld.”

Whale Soul came to Taire's rescue.

"No, I am your enemy."

Terry shook his head. Instead of taking advantage of the whale shark king's help, he sabotaged it.

"Enemies..." Bai Xiao's calm eyes fell on the supernatural lock on the back of Tai Lei's hand: "Why are we enemies? Could it be... that you are from the Holy Realm?"

“I am…” Talley’s tone was clearly not as firm as before.

"Oh?" Bai Xiao found this explanation interesting again.

"Since you are from the Holy Realm, why did you choose to help when the Holy Realm suppressed the Whale Shark Clan?"

This is indeed a question worth considering. Whale Soul raised an eyebrow slightly when he heard Tai Lei's admission.

Could it be that a traitor has emerged from within the Holy Realm?

“If you can’t stand it, you’ll naturally take action,” Talley said truthfully.

"Since you dislike the Holy Realm, why add it to the list of enemies of my Underworld?" Bai Xiao's deep voice slowly rang out.

“Because you’re not exactly a good person in the underworld either,” Thales said sternly.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiao said he had heard it too many times; too many people said that the Underworld was not a good place.

If we judge whether someone is a good person based on helping the vulnerable...

Indeed, they are not exactly good people in the underworld.

Unlike the Holy Realm or Keisha's righteous order, the wolf clan does not support the weak. Instead, they encourage the survival of the fittest, turning the seemingly peaceful order into a crisis.

"When you don't understand a person or a race, don't make judgments lightly. Subjective assumptions often become the seeds of prejudice in your mind."

Bai Xiao took a deep breath, surveyed the traces of the recent battle on Earth, and continued:

“Just like today’s battle, you don’t approve of the Holy Realm’s actions, so you have done the same thing as us, rebelling against the Holy Realm.”

"Can you use this incident to determine whether the underworld or the holy realm consists of good or bad people?"

Bai Xiao did not mean to belittle the Holy Realm. In his view, any idea that can exist for a long time and be recognized by the majority of people must have its own reasons.

He respects the birth of any idea, whether he agrees with it or not is another matter.

This is why he waited until Keisha was offline before choosing to replace the Angel Civilization's rule and unify the entire Super God Dimension.

...

At this moment, Hades and Guigu's attitudes toward opposing ideologies seem to form two stark contrasts.

High judgment.

Guigu repeatedly emphasized how correct the concept of the Holy Realm was, and how seductive the concept of the Underworld was, bringing immense war and disaster to the other parallel universes.

Denigrating the enemy to highlight the superiority of one's own ideology is not a genuine attempt to spread one's beliefs; rather, it is another form of seductive brainwashing.

...

As Thales listened to Hades' voice, he fell silent. Facing Hades, who seemed like a wise man, he once again felt lost.

"Do you understand the concepts of the underworld?" Bai Xiao asked when he saw that he didn't speak.

"The law of the jungle, encouraging war, killing, death, tyranny... a distorted view of life and civilization." Thales subjectively stated his views on the underworld.

"Then how much do you know about the Holy Realm's ideology?" Bai Xiao didn't rush to refute Tai Lei, but instead asked about Tai Lei's understanding of the Holy Realm's ideology.

"Protecting the weak, preventing the malicious expansion of the underworld, maintaining peace in various parallel universes, advocating harmonious coexistence among all races, resolving conflicts with love, and reducing the occurrence of wars," Talley said.

"So that's how you conclude that the Underworld is the bad guy, and the Holy Realm is the good guy?"

"..."

Thales remained silent.

Seeing that Tai Lei remained silent once again, Bai Xiao understood that his understanding of the concepts of the Underworld and the Holy Realm might only be based on the one-sided accounts of certain individuals. He stood with his hands behind his back and continued:

"Prejudice is like a mountain; once it appears, it becomes impossible to judge right and wrong with reason."

"You only see that the underworld encourages war, the survival of the fittest, killing and death, but you don't see the underworld's concept of order. This world has been governed by the law that the strong live and the weak die since its inception."

"Powerful civilizations will eventually begin to explore other planets due to a lack of resources. When faced with weaker civilizations, they will naturally choose to colonize or conquer them. This is a situation that has remained unchanged in the universe for billions of years."
