Chapter 326: Deep Into the Underworld
"Speaking of which, this is my first time in the underworld."
Walking to the river and looking at the city of Hades in the distance, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, he saw a boat slowly coming towards this side, and then docked at the pier. So Duanmu Huai strode up.
"Excuse me, can you give me a ride?"
Duanmu Huai raised his hand and spoke to the boatman of the Soul Boat. The latter stared at him and was silent for a long time.
"This is the River of Death, and the living are not allowed to enter."
"Well said, what if I say I must go in?"
"That depends on your sincerity."
"Sincerity........."
Hearing the boatman's words, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, nodded, and then he suddenly raised the Thunder Hammer, "whoosh" swept across, and the huge hammer head stopped steadily in front of the boatman's nose.
"If you take me across the river, I'll spare your life, how about that? I think this deal is still worthwhile."
"……………………"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the boatman swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but his old face still looked calm.
"It's stupid to threaten the boatman on the Styx, stowaway, although I don't know where you come from..."
"Bang!"
However, before the boatman finished speaking, Duanmu Huai swept out with a hammer and knocked him out. The latter bounced back and forth on the Styx like a skipping stone, and then sank heavily into the water.
"Stupid idiot."
Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, put down the war hammer, and then walked to the front of the boat.
"I rowed it myself."
Soon, under the control of Duanmu Huai, the Soul Boat slowly crossed the scarlet Styx and came to the city where Hades, the king of the underworld, was located. Then Duanmu Huai jumped up and jumped off the boat. Then he raised his head and looked at the void in front of him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a cold smile emerged.
Then, Duanmu Huai retracted his gaze and strode towards the gate of the underworld.
"Who is he?!"
At this moment, on the top of Mount Olympus, a white-haired old man was staring angrily at the water mirror in front of him, looking at the back of Duanmu Huai reflected on it. And beside him, the gods of Olympus stood around, looking at each other in surprise, and remained silent.
No wonder Zeus was so angry. At the beginning, he, like Ares, thought that Duanmu Huai was a rescuer sent by Athena, but when Ares was killed by Duanmu Huai, his divine position and divine power were absorbed by Duanmu Huai, and Zeus found that something was wrong.
You know, generally speaking, after the death of a god, his divine power will directly burst out and return to the world, and his divine position will be vacant again and left to others. However, this man not only killed Ares, but also took away his divine power and priesthood! ?
Even if the divine power belongs to Ares, the priesthood is not!
This means that after Duanmu Huai took away the priesthood of the God of War, Zeus will never be able to grant the position of the God of War to others!
This made Zeus very unhappy.
It has been said before that Olympus is simply a family business, and all kinds of close relatives and distant cousins are family members connected by blood. But now, a guy who appeared inexplicably from nowhere actually took away the glory that originally belonged to the gods of Olympus. Can Zeus tolerate this? If he could tolerate it, he would not be Zeus!
So Zeus angrily exiled Duanmu Huai to the underworld, and at the same time found Athena to ask her what was going on.
However, facing Zeus's questioning, Athena was also confused, not knowing where this man came from.
This is a serious matter.
An outsider mixed into the family business and robbed the family's property. This is absolutely intolerable!
"Kill him! Imprison his soul in the underworld and let him never reincarnate!!"
Zeus gave Hades an order, and Hades did send his men to try to kill the invader.
However...
"Bang!!"
The thunder hammer whistled down and hit the head of the three-headed dog of hell directly, smashing its head into pieces and exploding like a firecracker. The two-headed dog, which had lost one head, wailed and turned around to try to escape, but Duanmu Huai broke its hind legs with another hammer, and it immediately collapsed to the ground like a dead dog. Then Duanmu Huai jumped up, raised the hammer in his hand, and hit the other head of the three-headed dog of hell with force!
"Bang!!!"
As the last head of the three-headed dog of hell exploded, its huge body suddenly became silent. Duanmu Huai did not even look at the bloody corpse and continued to walk forward.
The gate of Hades Palace was locked, but this was not a problem for Duanmu Huai. He came to the huge iron gate and pushed and pulled it, then raised the hammer and smashed it hard!
"Bang!!!"
The next moment, the iron gate that was originally closed was suddenly smashed open by Duanmu Huai's hammer like a door curtain. The lower half of the door panel was directly lifted up, and then the upper door panel also broke and exploded, whistling forward and disappeared into the darkness, with only a heavy crash.
……………Okay, it turns out that this door is lifted.
But it doesn't matter.
It was pitch black in Hades' palace, and you could hardly see your hand in front of you. However, Duanmu Huai didn't care. He just walked forward silently, and just as he walked into the darkness, a voice rang out.
"I didn't expect you to be able to come here, outsider."
Along with this voice, the surroundings suddenly became bright. Duanmu Huai looked up and saw that he was in a huge, cylindrical cage. At the same time, Duanmu Huai suddenly felt a gust of wind whistling behind him. When he turned around, he saw a pair of iron hooks emitting purple light suddenly flying over. They seemed to completely ignore the power armor Duanmu Huai was wearing, and easily penetrated his body. Then Duanmu Huai felt a sudden burst of cold air, and his soul was bound by the iron hook, trying to be pulled out of his body!
"Humph!!"
At this moment, Duanmu Huai also roared, and he endured the pain from his soul and stomped the ground suddenly. Then the black flame of doomed death instantly erupted from Duanmu Huai's body and rushed out along the direction of the iron chain. With a wail, a black shadow jumped out of it. The iron chain that bound Duanmu Huai in his hand was also smashed away by Duanmu Huai at this moment.
"I didn't expect that you still have some skills..."
"Are you Hades?"
Looking at the giant in front of him, Duanmu Huai snorted and clenched the war hammer.
His first impression of Hades was... so ugly.
Duanmu Huai still remembered that when he was a child, he watched the Hades chapter of Saint Seiya. The Hades in it looked very handsome. However, the Hades at the moment was not handsome at all. He was bloated and fat like a fat house, with layers of fat on his belly, and iron spikes coming out of his flesh all over his body. He wore a mask burning with flames on his head, covering his ugly face. Compared with Ares, the god of war, Hades was dressed very coolly, like a wrestler, wearing only briefs and a pair of boots - well, maybe the heat in hell was one of the reasons?
"Yes, outsider..."
Hades was holding the soul hooks at the moment, staring at Duanmu Huai. Although Duanmu Huai couldn't see his expression clearly, from his tone, Duanmu Huai could guess that he must have been trapped by the destined death just now.
As expected of the Hades, he was able to hook his soul. Although he failed, if the other party was a mortal, he would probably be hooked to death.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"The dead don't need to know so much, Hades."
Duanmu Huai clenched his war hammer, and black flames burst out all over his body. At the same time, a scarlet glow appeared in his helmet. Seeing the appearance of the man in front of him, Hades' heart suddenly trembled, as if a terrible sense of fear passed through his mind.
However, immediately afterwards, immense humiliation and anger surged into Hades' heart.
He was the king of the underworld, the god of death, and now, facing such a guy, he was actually afraid? !
What a shame!
"Since you don't want to say, then I will kill you, and then extract your soul and slowly torture you!"
"That depends on whether you have the ability!!"
As soon as the voice fell, the two sides started fighting again.
Hades waved the soul hook in his hand and threw it towards Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai raised his war hammer and blocked it in front of him. The soul hook instantly entangled Duanmu Huai's war hammer, and then Hades grasped the iron chain connected to the soul hook and pulled it towards himself.
Unlike the battle with Ares, Hades is obviously stronger than Ares, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of size. Although Ares can transform into a giant, Duanmu Huai can also break his divine incarnation through the death of destiny, and Ares who has broken the incarnation is only about the same height as Duanmu Huai.
But Hades is obviously different. As one of the three bosses of Olympus, even without an incarnation, it is nearly ten meters tall. Coupled with the bloated body of a fat house, its strength is even stronger. Therefore, even Duanmu Huai is only competing with Hades on a 50-50 basis at this moment. Both sides are pulling each other tightly, trying to rely on strength to decide the winner.
"Hah!!"
Hades grabbed the chain, roared, and pulled it hard towards himself. Duanmu Huai couldn't support it and took a step forward. Seeing this, Hades smiled. It is obvious that the guy in front of him has reached his limit. Next, he just needs to make another effort---
However, at this moment, the severe pain from behind instantly interrupted Hades' thoughts.
In fact, Duanmu Huai was well prepared for this. When he realized that he couldn't use his strength to defeat Hades, he immediately changed his fighting style. Just as Hades pulled the Soul Hook hard, Duanmu Huai quickly summoned a Soul Card and released magic on Hades!
[Majestic Spear]!
The extremely hard, rock-constructed spear rose from the ground and gave Hades a Thousand Years of Death directly from behind!
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
The severe pain from his buttocks completely defeated Hades' fighting will. He screamed and raised his body, instinctively trying to break free from the burning pain from behind.
However, Duanmu Huai obviously wouldn't give him this chance!
"Go to hell!!"
Just when Hades let go, the jetpack behind Duanmu Huai suddenly sprayed, and then he rushed towards Hades like a boulder from a catapult, hitting him directly in the lower abdomen, forcing Hades to take another step back—and the hard stone spear penetrated into Hades' body again!
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Hades was almost tortured by the pain and lost his mind, but Duanmu Huai would not pity him. After giving Hades the enhanced version of the Thousand Years of Killing again, Duanmu Huai jumped up, and at the same time he took out the chainsaw sword with his backhand, and landed on Hades' shoulder in one step. The next moment, Duanmu Huai raised the chainsaw sword and swung it down at Hades' neck like chopping a tree! !
"Buzz—————!"
The madly spinning chainsaw tore Hades' muscles and cut off his neck. Hades wanted to break free, but the pain from above and below completely stopped him from moving. Finally, Hades felt a chill on his neck. The next moment, he was completely freed from the pain.
As Hades' head flew out, his bloated and fat body fell heavily to the ground. Fresh red blood and divine power spurted out from his neck and then poured into Duanmu Huai's body.
"Huh..."
Only then did Duanmu Huai breathe a sigh of relief and jump off Hades' body. He looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction.
"It seems that I did a pretty good job."
