Apollo: .....

Chapter 863, The Second Battle Against Hades

Rematch with Hades

"Why aren't you saying anything? Hey! Say something!"

Apollo looked dazed, while Yi Shuihan's clone looked at him with a puzzled expression, waving his hand in front of his eyes.

Unfortunately, Apollo was already determined to feign madness and remain unmoved no matter what Yi Shuihan did.

Yi Shuihan didn't really want Apollo to fight Hades; he was just teasing him. Once he saw that Apollo had behaved himself, he stopped focusing his energy on him.

"Is one clone enough? Why don't you come along as the main body?"

Poseidon suggested to Yi Shuihan that if he hadn't lost his physical body and hadn't yet developed a new one, he probably would have already confronted Hades upon seeing his great enemy.

Even without a physical body, Poseidon is still very powerful, but he is no match for Hades, who is even stronger than Poseidon. He would be no match for Hades. If he were to be sealed away again, Poseidon would be devastated.

Therefore, Poseidon is now determined not to make a move unless absolutely necessary. Ideally, Yi Shuihan could also reduce Hades to a spirit state so that he could then show off his skills.

As a tragic figure whose original physical body was destroyed countless years ago, Poseidon has been ridiculed by other gods, both openly and secretly, for this reason. Therefore, he desperately wants a companion who has also lost his true physical body. If this companion were Hades, the guy who has even fallen in love with his true body, Poseidon would feel like he would be laughing in his dreams.

"Just watch and see. I'm ready to make a move at any time."

Yi Shuihan said calmly that he was indeed prepared to take action at any time, but not against Hades, but against the main gods who had not yet appeared. Among them, the most important was Zeus, the king of gods. Poseidon's soul form was also within Yi Shuihan's defense range.

Despite the honeymoon period between Poseidon and Yi Shuihan, and their seemingly excellent relationship, they both know it's an illusion. Poseidon only shows goodwill to Yi Shuihan because he feels it will be easier for him to take revenge. If they ever disagree, they could turn against each other in an instant.

Above the void, Yi Shuihan, wearing his incomplete version of armor, looked at Hades, the King of the Underworld, with a rather nonchalant expression, as if all other beings had been ignored.

"Hand over what you got from Apollo, and serve me for a million years, and I'll spare you today."

"Calling you an idiot isn't enough. If you were in that situation, would you agree to these conditions?"

"So, there's no room for negotiation?"

"Screw you, let's get started! I'm waiting to get a godlike streak!"

The pre-war negotiations ended there, and the atmosphere became tense.

"Danadus"

"Yes"

"Proceed according to the original plan."

Upon receiving the order, Thanatos waved to the Specters behind him, and they scattered. What were they going to do? A little thought revealed that they were going to find someone, after all, the last incident was still fresh in their minds.

Hypnos left with the Specters, leaving only Thanatos and Hades behind. Thanatos was just standing around doing nothing.

Yi Shuihan, who witnessed all of this, remained completely unmoved. If he could actually find it, he would consider it a loss. This battle was unfair from the very beginning. Not only was it impossible for Hades to defeat Yi Shuihan, but even if he did win, he wouldn't gain any benefits.

Forget about the benefits, he'd probably lose even his initial investment. After seeing Hades bring out almost all of his fighting power, Yi Shuihan had an idea: to secretly take advantage of the situation and steal the Origin Raiders that originally belonged to Hades from his lair.

Centered on Hades, the Death Realm instantly expanded, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles. At the same time, Hades' form underwent a significant change. Most noticeably, death energy continuously swirled around his body, and then his body turned slightly dark, giving him the appearance of a corpse and exuding a deathly aura.

"Don't think I'm scared just because you added special effects. It's just a corpse effect. In terms of special effects, I will never lose. Watch my Super Saiyan effect."

Golden flames ignited around Yi Shuihan, turning the surrounding death energy into nourishment, igniting anything that came near.

"Last time, Ares was there, which allowed you to barely escape with your life. Let's see how you escape this time."

Hades' voice was icy cold, like a chilling wind from the abyss, sending shivers down one's spine.

"I'll say the same thing to you. If it weren't for Ares last time, I would have beaten you to a pulp. Do you believe me?"

A verbal rebuttal without hesitation.

Hearing Yi Shuihan's words, Hades's eyes grew even colder. He stopped his pointless verbal sparring, picked up his divine sword, and charged forward.

In just a fraction of a breath, it arrived in front of Yi Shuihan. The divine sword, gleaming with black light, slashed down vertically. Following the trajectory of the divine sword, one could see a thin black line, a sight of space being torn apart by its extreme sharpness.

In less than a fraction of a breath, Yi Shuihan found a path to dodge. The sword barely grazed his clothes. While dodging, he also used a sword that had transformed from his armor to sweep horizontally, and at the same time, he kicked Hades' lower body at an extremely tricky angle.

Hades' expression changed slightly. He cherished his body to the extreme and would not allow Yi Shuihan to attack his vital parts.

The black mist surrounding him suddenly condensed into a sword and slashed at Yi Shuihan's leg. Its power was slightly less than that of the divine sword, but not far off.

In the blink of an eye, Yi Shuihan and Hades had already exchanged countless blows. Even Thanatos could only see the black and yellow lights flashing continuously, and he couldn't even see the real battle situation clearly. He was extremely horrified.

"Lord Hades is one thing, but even that guy..."

Even if Danadus was unwilling to admit it, he knew that Yi Shuihan was far beyond his level and was an opponent on the same level as Hades.

After a few breaths, the two separated, their momentum having surged significantly compared to before.

"That's enough for the warm-up. Are you ready to die now?"

"Aren't you Hades? Death is your destiny; face reality!"

Chapter 864, Let them fight for a while first.

Let them fight for a while.

"Something's not right here. Hades, such a prestigious profession, is using Armament Haki?"

Looking at Hades, who was completely black and whose face was no longer recognizable, Yi Shuihan still had the mood to complain.

Hades was putting considerable pressure on Yi Shuihan at this moment, giving him the feeling that he might capsize if he wasn't careful. After all, Hades was just an avatar and his strength was still a bit lacking. Of course, he wasn't without the ability to fight back, and the outcome was probably evenly matched.

Hades held a divine sword in one hand, while the other hand was engulfed in black flames. The flames exuded an ominous aura, and one could faintly hear the howls of countless ghosts.

"It's Netherfire. Never let yourself get touched by it. Even a divine body is only able to defend itself against it. It can directly affect the soul."

Poseidon explained from within the barrier.

"Although I'd like to see if it's true, I'll pass this time. I can't get cocky!"

After learning about the Netherfire from the main body, Yi Shuihan's clone shifted three-tenths of its attention to the flame.

"Since you're using Netherfire, I'll use Thunderfire."

Yi Shuihan's other hand was burning with purple flames. Although it was called a flame, it was actually lightning composed entirely of tribulation lightning, only appearing to be in the shape of a flame.

Hades' eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing Yi Shuihan's lightning and fire; he sensed danger emanating from the lightning and fire.

In essence, Yi Shuihan's tribulation lightning is superior to Hades's Netherfire. However, because Yi Shuihan's cultivation level is insufficient, the power he unleashes cannot overwhelm the Netherfire for the time being. Nevertheless, he will definitely not be at a disadvantage.

The battle resumed, and this time Hades was significantly stronger in every aspect than before. His speed, strength, attack power, and even reaction speed were completely different. If you had to say, his strength had increased by nearly double.

Above the sky, three colors of light appeared: black, yellow, and purple. It looked very dazzling. If you removed the astonishing battle pressure and noise, it could be regarded as a beautiful sight and was quite worth watching.

Many eyes were silently watching the battle. Even though the view wasn't very clear due to the nature of the dead realm, the gods could still judge the situation based on the two people's auras.

"Impossible! What kind of lightning is this? Even the lightning controlled by Zeus wouldn't have this kind of power."

Hades exclaimed in surprise, completely unable to understand why his Netherfire had failed in a direct confrontation with Yi Shuihan's tribulation lightning.

"As the great man said, whether it's black thunder or purple thunder, as long as it can win, it's a good thunder."

That's really awful!

Hades looked bewildered, as if pondering who this great man was. From Yi Shuihan's words, he could tell that Yi Shuihan held the great man in high esteem, and that this great man was definitely a powerful figure.

But who exactly is this great person? Why does it feel so shameful not to know who this great person is?

Yi Shuihan didn't give Hades time to figure out who the great man was. He was unyielding and kept attacking from his slight advantage, gradually gaining a slight upper hand.

Gradually, the black light above the void was completely suppressed by the purple light, and Hades was more on the defensive than on the offensive.

"Lord Hades, keep it up!"

Thanatos's heart leaped into his throat. He never expected that Lord Hades, who had given his all, would encounter the same situation as last time. No matter how he looked at it, Hades was at a disadvantage!

"If this continues, it will probably take several years to determine a winner!"

Yi Shuihan's true form watched the battle in the void and sighed. Hades' strength was truly formidable when he got serious. Even his fighting instincts far surpassed those of the Gold Saints. The reason he was defeated by the Gold Saints in the original story was probably because he was too careless. Now, facing a powerful enemy like Yi Shuihan, this was his true nature being on full display.

It would take a thousand days for the gold-plated forces to determine a victor, mainly because when their strengths are roughly equal, it's a test of endurance, and their endurance is generally quite extraordinary.

As Hades, there are probably only one or two people in this world whose fighting power truly surpasses Athena's. Zeus is one, Athena is half, Apollo is probably about the same, and the current Yi Shuihan clone is about the same as him.

The gap between the two is really not that big, and it would be normal for either side to win. Under such circumstances, considering the terrifying endurance of both sides, a war that lasts for a thousand days is a small case, and it is possible that it could last for a hundred years!

The reality is that they can't fight for a hundred years. Even if they fight for a few months, it would be too late.

"We need some external force to break this deadlock."

As he said this, Yi Shuihan looked at Poseidon, his meaning clear: he wanted Poseidon to launch a sneak attack.

"Don't look at me, I'm not going. If you're talking about who's more suitable, wouldn't it be better for you, the real you, to go?"

"coward!"

"Who's the coward? I'm just being cautious. Besides, if I go, what if it attracts the attention of the other gods? They'll think I'm colluding with outsiders to trick them!"

"Aren't you colluding with outsiders to scam them?"

"What are you talking about? I didn't do anything!"

Poseidon would never admit his actions and looked at Yi Shuihan with an innocent expression.

"No rush, let them fight for a while first."

Poseidon looked at Yi Shuihan speechlessly. It seemed like you were the one who was in a hurry just now!

And what's with that expression on your face that says the clone above has nothing to do with you? You two are the same person, aren't you?

Poseidon was internally ranting and raving, almost driven to madness by Yi Shuihan's inconsistent attitude.

At the place where Apollo was imprisoned, Apollo looked at the scene above and cursed Hades in his heart. He had originally thought that Hades was strong enough to defeat Yi Shuihan or force his clone to fight, but Hades was being overwhelmed by one of his clones, so his plan could not be implemented at all.

"Useless, trash. You call yourself the King of the Underworld, yet you're so weak. It's one thing to be weak, but you don't even know how to call for help. If you can't beat one, just call a few more."

Are you thinking about something strange?

"No, absolutely not! I'm cheering you on in my heart right now!"

"Is that right?"

"Of course that's true, absolutely true."

Chapter 865, Becoming Acquainted Through a Fight?

No fight, no acquaintance?

"Aphrodite, your man is amazing! He's got good taste this time!"

"It's you, Artemis. Why aren't you staying in your own little nest? What are you doing here?"

Aphrodite was startled by Artemis's sudden appearance and said irritably, "Judging from their conversation, I can tell that their relationship isn't very good."

"They've come to see your man."

Artemis spoke in a flippant tone, wearing medieval women's armor that revealed most of her beautiful figure. Compared to Aphrodite, who was known as the goddess of beauty, she had her own merits. She lacked a bit of the alluring charm but had a bit more determination, displaying the temperament of a strong woman to the fullest.

Although Artemis is just as revealing as Aphrodite, people would never think of her sexually when they first see her.

As the goddess of moonlight and the hunt, Artemis is more inclined towards combat, with a solid Silver 9-star strength, which is also among the top tier of the twelve Olympian gods. Even Hades, the god of the underworld, has great respect for her.

"I'm so envious! You should find someone like that if you're so capable."

In every other aspect, Aphrodite was no match for her opponent, so she could only bring up the Yi River Cold.

Artemis didn't react much to this low-level boasting. She glanced at Aphrodite, then parted her red lips slightly and said with a half-smile, "I think yours is pretty good. What do you think about me taking it from you?"

Aphrodite's expression changed. She was very confident in her body; if she were a pure goddess like Artemis, the outside world wouldn't...

She felt that Artemis could never compete with her in matters of gossip or scandals, but the current situation was different. She felt a great sense of crisis and was even afraid that what Artemis said would actually happen.

Artemis was somewhat surprised to see Aphrodite remain silent. In the past, Aphrodite would have directly asked Artemis to seduce her in such situations, but this time she was unusually quiet.

"Could it be that he's actually fallen for her?"

The thought startled Artemis herself, and she looked at Aphrodite with astonishment.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen me before?!"

As if her little secret had been discovered, Aphrodite said with a hint of embarrassment and anger.

"I've never seen you like this before."

Nodding, Artemis spoke in a serious tone.

"you…"

Pointing at Artemis, our goddess of beauty was speechless for a moment, and finally snorted coldly and simply ignored Artemis.
