King Of Underworld [EN]: Chapter 153

The King of the Underworld is Tired 154

Gigantomachia – (2)

Flash- Krrrrr!

The light from Zeus’s lightning illuminated the battlefield. Giants screamed and hurled rocks and mountains, while gods unleashed their powers and charged forward.

A little further away, Poseidon wielded his trident, summoning the sea around him, and the surging water lashed out at the giants as if it were alive.

“Die!”

“We’re finally ending this tiresome war!”

Kwa kwa kwang! Hwaaa-

In an instant, except for a few isolated spots, everyone was embroiled in a chaotic battle.

The most noticeable thing was King Eurymedon wielding a torch against Zeus, who wielded lightning and Skythe [Zeus’s weapon, likely a sword or spear]. Judging by the fact that the torch wasn’t immediately extinguished even after colliding with Skythe, it must be a torch given by Gaia [the primordial goddess of the Earth].

But it wouldn’t be enough to match the king of the gods. Clearly, unless there was other intervention, Zeus would win.

As Poseidon unleashed his power to sweep the battlefield, several giants I had noticed earlier rushed in and surrounded him.

The largest and most powerful one stepped forward and said…

“Poseidon, ruler of the sea! I am Polybotes!”

“I’m not interested in your name.”

There was also Apollo, shooting shining arrows over there, and Hephaestus, turning into a fire giant and burning the giants to death.

One by one, they were finding suitable opponents. Since the giants had numerical superiority, if the Olympian Twelve couldn’t rampage freely on the battlefield, they would be defeated.

“Haaah- Ugh!”

Kwa kwa kwang!! Kuung-

Heracles wielded a special iron club, forged with all his might by Hephaestus, destroying the mountain thrown by a giant.

As if proving that he became a god through his own power, he was rampaging fiercely across the battlefield. The god of struggle, who had been on par with most deities since he was human, was the strongest except for the three main gods.

The god of strength and struggle, grinning savagely and covered in the gore of monsters, jumped back into the battlefield.

“T-that guy… His strength…!”

“How can someone who isn’t even one of the Olympian Twelve be so strong?”

The snake monsters who blocked him even for a moment had their heads and bodies separated or exploded altogether.

In the current situation, what I had to do was clear. Rather than wiping out a large number of enemies, it was better to create chaos, lower morale, and kill commander-level individuals.

Having quickly finished thinking, I hid myself in Kynee [Hades’ helmet of invisibility] and swung Bident [Hades’ two-pronged spear] wildly.

Puk- Chwak-

The eerie sound of flesh tearing echoed, and giants with holes all over their bodies fell.

Staying in one place would reveal my location. Faster. Like the speed of Hermes, who boasts the fastest speed in Olympus.

Phew-

Hmm. I managed to avoid the spear that Hera shot just now by twisting my body.

The spear, flying at a terrifying speed, pierced through the monsters and caused a sonic boom…

The advantage of Kynee is that it can hide its existence from everyone below the Titan gods.

But in a battlefield where allies and enemies are mixed together like this, it can also be a disadvantage.

After rampaging for a while on the fierce battlefield, the giants shouted out in anger.

They’re starting to notice my presence.

“Kuaaak!”

“King of the Underworld! Where are you!”

“If there are brothers dying, throw rocks there!”

Avoiding the guys throwing rocks and swinging their fists, I skillfully stabbed Bident into them.

Amidst the bloody battlefield, I saw an individual commanding the giants, a guy comparable to the Olympian Twelve.

“Heh. Invisible King of the Underworld. Perhaps you want to take my head?”

I didn’t feel the need to respond to his words, so I killed the giants surrounding him and stabbed the spear into his neck.

Surprisingly, even though he suffered a fatal wound, the giant groped his neck and said, holding Bident firmly.

“My… grrr… name is Alcyoneus! You better be… prepared!”

The giant was guessing where I was and looking.

I could feel intense hostility towards the gods in his bloodshot eyes.

Now that I see it, his regeneration is unusual. Even though the power of the underworld is flowing into his body, he’s still talking, just like the other giants.

Bident has been caught, but it’s not a crisis. He was dying from being eroded by my energy, and this much power is…

“N… ow!”

Drrrrr… Whooong! Kugugugugu!!!

Was it a trap?

He shouted, using his life as shackles, and the giants threw mountains towards me.

The mountain is falling right above my head.

It’s a problem to break through it at once because of the gods and divine beasts fighting nearby, and if I unleash my power, I’ll be caught by the giants…

Hmm. I’ll just have to break through in a straight line.

* * *

When I made a hole in the mountain thrown over my head and came out, the widened battlefield welcomed me.

Not a chaotic battle, but the sight of high-ranking deities or command entities of giants leaving the plains to find their opponents.

The Plessra Plain was too narrow for deities to fight in a tangled mess.

Gradually, the battlefield expanded… and the number of times powers or attacks swept around increased.

Phew- Kwaaaang!!!

A streak of light fired by Apollo pierced through a flying rock, and Artemis’s moonlight infused madness into the giants.

The grape vines summoned by Dionysus covered one side of the battlefield with a sweet scent…

Jiiing… Hwareureureuk!

“Die. This is the torch of hell that even Atlas was afraid of.”

“Ugh! I, Clytios, like this!!!”

Divine power arranged in an orderly manner according to certain rules. Miracles manifested as elaborate figures were drawn.

The goddess of magic, Hecate, was walking leisurely across the plains, burning the giants she saw to death.

Many people called magic the skill of humans imitating the power of gods, but no one ignored Hecate, the creator of it.

I can’t stay like this either.

Tuk. Tutuk.

After returning the divine power and shaking off the dirt and debris on my body, I thrust my spear at the nearest giant.

Wait. Anyway, the number of giant command entities has decreased a lot, and it seems like they are gradually gaining the upper hand…

Ssuk.

It would be better to massacre them with all my might without hiding my appearance in Kynee to lower their morale.

“Black hair. A spear split in two! It’s Hades!”

“Catch the King of the Underworld before he hides again!”

“He took off his invisible helmet himself, what a fool!”

A long time ago, there were people like this during the Titan War…

There were also many who regarded me as just an assassin and thought that killing me would be easy if they could just find me.

Compared to Poseidon’s trident or Zeus’s lightning, which are famous for wielding powerful powers…

The helmet containing the power of an assassin who hides his appearance may seem relatively shabby.

“Return to the underworld, Hades!”

“For King Eurymedon!”

I waved my hand, looking at the giants rushing towards me like beasts that had found prey.

A simple power of summoning. The place to summon is the underworld.

Purrrrㅡ!! Hihing!

A black chariot depicting wailing souls and the figures of sinners being judged.

As soon as I got on the newly summoned chariot and urged the ghost horse with a ghostly aura, they kicked the ground forcefully and ran out.

It is true that my ability to deal with a large number of enemies is inferior to that of Zeus or Poseidon,

But there was one thing they overlooked.

In the past, there were also very many Titans who thought that I was nothing without the invisible helmet, Kynee…

“I’ll kill you before you hide like a rat again!”

“The credit for defeating the three main gods is mine!”

The fact is that all the guys who thought that went to Tartarus [the deep abyss that is used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked and as the prison for the Titans].

* * *

The gods’ war for world supremacy.

Amidst the mountains, rocks, and all kinds of powers flying around and destroying the surroundings.

Saaaaㅡ

“…?”

“Ah.”

Everyone who was fighting fiercely to defeat their enemies turned their heads for a moment.

Zeus, who was fighting the king of monsters in the middle of the battlefield, emitting lightning with a tremendous roar, or Poseidon, who was sweeping away the giants by driving the waves…

Because they felt a chilling energy emanating from another place.

Kwazazazak!!!

A black figure crossing the center of the battlefield.

An energy that cannot be compared to the god of war, who wore red currents all over his body and drove a chariot.

No one did not know the name of the god who was massacring the Gigantes [Giants] and rushing in at the speed of a meteor in the night sky.

“That’s Lord Hades.”

“Is he finally getting serious?”

The King of the Underworld, Hades, began to exert his power in earnest.

Until now, he wore an invisible helmet and went around killing the command entities of the giants, causing chaos.

Now that the victory is gradually tilting towards Olympus, he is showing the majesty of the three main gods by riding a chariot.

As Hades, who was wielding Bident here and there in a chariot pulled by ghost horses, thrust his spear, a streak of light as black as darkness spewed out and erased the space.

The part that the black divine power swept through disappeared without a trace, even if they were monsters who could stand against the gods.

The enemies who rush to block it only die helplessly.

The battlefield was clearly showing the superiority of Olympus.

The god of the underworld rampaging because he did not have the power to block all three main gods. Unlike the immortal deities, the giants, where death exists.

The corpses of countless monsters lay on the ground.

Seureureuk.

All the flesh and fluids of the giants that died like that…

Were seeping into the earth.
