Chapter 262: The Way to Dismember the Roots

Under the dim sky, half of the sky was lit up by the glow of the river of fire lava as it flowed. In the vast land, the souls of mortals are full of shadows.

This is a sight that is difficult to see in the underworld in reality. As the lord of the underworld, Hades has been particularly busy recently, because the great war between the human world has brought the hidden contradictions between the Olympian gods to the fore, and the number of human casualties has increased, allowing a large number of souls to flow into the underworld in a short period of time.

However, watching the gods on the ground meet each other, but he watched from the wall, Hades was somewhat happy in his busyness, but now, Hades's good mood ended here.

Looking at the strange visitor in front of him, Hades's face slowly became gloomy.

In many cases, Hades didn't care what outsiders thought of him, so even if he couldn't see a single temple of his on earth, and there were rumors among mortals that he trembled more than once from the power of other gods, he didn't react much to it.

Whether it is prejudice or form, if it does not bring him any practical benefits, then Hades does not care very much. It can be said that in this regard, he is more pragmatic than his father.

The underworld can be weakened, it can be broken, but it can never be destroyed, unless the person who does it already has the power to fight the whole world, or the world itself has no time to take care of anything else, otherwise the world itself cannot allow this kind of thing to happen, just like whoever wants to destroy one of the seven spiritual realms must actually have the power to overcome the entire spiritual realm.

And standing opposite him, Ryan also had to admit that if he didn't consider that this was an illusory world, then what the other party said was indeed not wrong.

Suddenly, Charon seemed to have discovered something different from before. The souls on the shore were indeed looking in his direction, and they were indeed in awe—but with fear.

A little confused, Charon didn't know what was happening, but the inexplicable power just now seemed to come from the direction of the Truth Pastoral. So he looked through the river to the center of the underworld.

"You're right, destroying the underworld has never been done before, and in the real world, I can't do it yet, let alone have any experience to speak of."

Listening to the crisp and melodious sound of metallic tremble, Ryan looked at the underworld beneath his feet.

So under the angry gaze of the gods of the underworld, the seemingly ordinary black sword came into contact with the underworld.

A smile appeared on the old man's face, and Charon picked up the glass from the ship and took a sip. He looked in the direction of the shore, where there was still a dense crowd of souls.

The River of Pain was no exception, the River Styx, which had sunk all who approached it to the bottom, where it howled in despair, seemed to have lost its life, and its waters remained there even when its banks cracked.

With a soft sound, from the void, the black sword condensed by [Death] was drawn inch by inch. In the absence of a single weapon that specializes in combat, this is Ryan's favorite method.

He mustered his strength to make his wooden boat a lot faster, and hurried towards the shore.

As the distance approached, the longing and awe-inspiring eyes of the souls became clearer, which made Charon's mood even better.

"Tell me what you mean...... Or stay here permanently. The Pastoral of Truth may not be Olympus, but it will not allow you to be so rampant! ”

He knew what these souls wanted, and to stay here could only endure the cold wind and hunger, and cross the River Styx, even if their actions were not enough to enter the Elysée Paradise, but at least they could stay on the plains of Narcissus. In this case, they naturally can't wait to get out of here first.

The next moment, the tip of the sword pressed down, and the blade of the sword at the end touched towards the underworld. And in front of Ryan, as early as when he pulled out the black sword, Hades had already made a move.

But this is only the perspective of mortal things, and if you look through the surface and look directly at the root of all things, then Ryan will find that the usefulness of what he has done is extremely limited. The world is material, spiritual, and more conceptual, and everything he has just done has at best destroyed its material structure, and even reflected on the roots, and the impact on Hades is not as drastic as imagined.

Boom –

The power of the interface and an invisible pressure enveloped the entire Truth Garden, but even so, the power shown by the Hades at this moment is actually not comparable to the real self - because of the influence of Lane or not, although he is deprived of the authority to manage the soul, but in fact, the power of the underworld in reality is not decreasing but increasing compared to the original trajectory.

No, at this moment, the Styx crosser, who was wandering between life and death, seemed to sense something, and he would not sleep forever. Because of the falsehood and emptiness that overflows all things......

With the hilt of his sword in his hand and his sword standing in the void, his gaze crossed Hades, across the entire Pastoral of Truth, to the root of this illusory underworld.

Didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, Charon was a little unclear. But this is Hades, and there may be something to fear mortals, but not the incarnation of Styx. So he shook his clothes unhurriedly, and then turned to check.

There were even people shouting or shivering on their knees.

But it's up to me to choose who gets on board first...... With a smile, Charon stood up from the boat, ready to find a few pleasing ones to come out.

Everything is the same as before, and the change of Fang Cai is like a dream. Except for the emptiness of the underworld, there were only black spots in the distant sky......

Of course, corresponding to his busyness, his 'income' has also increased a lot. After all, it was stipulated that everyone who crossed the river had to pay Charon a silver coin as the fare for crossing the river—a custom in the mortal world.

Even if they are afraid of death and do not want to mention the names of the gods of Hades, mortals will still put a silver coin in the mouth of the deceased when he is buried. Otherwise, the soul of the deceased loved one will only wander at the entrance of the underworld, or sink to the bottom of the River Styx, and it will never be able to rest in peace.

"Hey, I really hope that the war on earth will last a little longer, there are not many good days like this."

歘——

It was dark in front of him, and he didn't have time to see anything, let alone react, and in an instant, with a black light sweeping, Charon's divine body was instantly erased from this world. Behind him, the black glow was still spreading across the River Styx at incredible speed, spreading farther away.

After all, although the souls of mortals in mythology exist in the underworld, they will not really bring benefits here. The Titan god Iapetus was the original god of souls, and even the name of the 'Lord of the Dead' was more of a crown on Hekate's body.

This is already the seventh sword. Killed the creatures of the underworld, cut the central axis of the underworld, and suppressed the three rivers of the underworld.

Looking at the illusory underworld as if no one was around, the reason why Ryan didn't go directly to Olympus before was naturally not just to see if the primordial gods existed, after all, it was only a matter of a few steps for him. In fact, the real reason is that he doesn't know how to destroy a world.

Kronos cared at least about some face-saving things, but they were worthless in Hades' eyes. So Hades didn't intend to provoke this strange deity, if he hadn't declared his intention to destroy the underworld.

······

Whoa—

Recently, because of the war between the people, his work has become busy all of a sudden. After all, as the ferryman of the River Styx, only Charon could carry the souls of mortals across this tumbling river.

At the entrance to the underworld, on the river of pain, Akron, Charon sat on his wooden boat and headed for the shore again.

The strength of the other party was unimaginable, he had only tried to stop it once, and the sword light almost did not stop grinding his arm, and then continued to tear the earth apart.

"It's like I've been thinking about what I'm going to do someday, when the collision between the worlds of Kaos and Hermenu reaches its peak, so that the root of that world can be truly destroyed."

"So I know it's probably not going to work, but I'm going to give it a try. How much impact can the disintegration of the underworld have on this world. ”

"Huh?"

Thorn -

I don't know when, a few more streams of light rose from the Hades Divine Palace. The god of destruction, the god of doom, and several other gods, they stood behind Hades, looking at Ryan with a wary look.

However, the current situation is undoubtedly the latter one. The meager power of creation that lingers on memory is not much, and it is already the limit to maintain the existence of this world, and it is impossible to have more impact. So in this case, all Ryan needs to think about is how to truly destroy the underworld at its roots.

As long as it is destroyed, I am afraid that it may not be, and like the complete world, to 'annex' the world from a macro perspective is something he cannot do at present. In this case, the self-contained underworld naturally became the most suitable target.

"Strange gods, I think it's better for you to take back your words."

"Is this some new trick......

Flick the blade of the sword, although it is a black sword with temporary condensation, but at this moment, it seems to have an entity.

But it doesn't make sense, it's obviously right in front of you, but it seems like the end of the world is at hand. Until Ryan pressed down the black sword as if no one was around, Hades was unable to make any meaningful resistance.

As the ferryman of the River Styx, Charon apparently did not just die. It's just that when he came back to his senses from the shock just now, he was still a little at a loss.

A shout of rage interrupted Ryan's thoughts. Not far away, the severed-arm Hades looked at the strange god incomprehensibly.

Take this for the first experiment, and then use the entire illusory world to verify it, and the Hermenu world is the time to finally apply the results of the experiment.

"No, we're different."

"Huh? What are they looking at? ”

The next moment seemed to be a continuation of the previous change, and when the black sword pressed down, the entire interface shook because of it. The Styx splashed out of its banks, the molten slurry of the River of Fire flowed in the cracks of the earth, and then everything came to an end with a sword mark that separated the entire Styx from east to west, as if it were completely dead.

The voice became indifferent, as if realizing that the comer was not good, and silently, half of the authority of the underworld began to converge in Hades's body.

He complained casually, but it was a happy annoyance, so Charon quickly put it behind him.

"Just ...... What happened? ”

Charon's consciousness swirled and danced in the river, and he felt no pain, for he knew that he was about to become another immortal god.

In a few moments, the river rolled slightly. Through the river, an illusory shadow can be seen condensing beneath the surface.

He needed a way, a way to directly harm the roots of the world, which could not be done by simply destroying the material structure. And at this moment, looking at the Hades with a broken arm, Ryan suddenly realized.

As if he had found something, Charon looked sharply into the distance. It wasn't a black spot, it was a figure from the top. Faintly, the figure shook its head in disappointment, then slashed down with a long sword in hand.

Hades couldn't help but recall what kind of grudge he had with this strange god - even now, he didn't do it directly, because he didn't actually believe what Ryan said before. The destruction of the underworld is simply a fantasy.

"The underworld is a part of the world, and even the king of the gods cannot destroy it."

"I don't know—"

Interrupted, Ryan raised his head and looked at Hades in front of him, and his thoughts, which had no clue, were instantly connected.

It will be traumatic, but it will only be traumatized......

An inexplicable warning came to his mind, it was the fear that Styx itself conveyed to Charon, and he instinctively wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to escape.

"I don't know what you're trying to do, Your Excellency, but destroy the Underworld—with all due respect, I'm afraid no one can do that."

Despite the fact that his power was mixed and not leaked, as the god of the underworld, the Immortal King still felt an incomparably terrifying threat on that sword. Even if he still didn't believe that Ryan could destroy Hades, he couldn't tolerate the other party destroying his priesthood symbol like this.

The soul of a mortal disappeared in an instant, and the few plants and trees turned into dust. There is no sound, only 'disappearing', and on the banks of the Akron River, there is no longer a sound to be seen.

Everything was silent, except for the River Styx.

After all, as the god of the underworld, he is a part of the underworld, and destroying the underworld is equivalent to destroying himself - yes, Hades didn't think that Ryan was referring to the whole world, he only thought that the other party was talking about the underworld. Although just as God cannot commit suicide, even Hades himself does not know how Hades can be destroyed.

The voice was calm, and instead of talking to these false gods, Ryan was talking to himself.

In the next moment, Charon's consciousness was completely extinguished. He was the first Kaos god to die in this false world, but never the last, for high in the heavens, Ryan once again raised the blade of his sword.

The power is implicit but not revealed, only the sense of oppression sweeps over. But when it fell on the god in front of him, it seemed to be pressed into the void, which made the Hades King even more vigilant.

"Stop, what the hell are you going to do?!"

"It's just a little bad - in the era of war, it seems that there are a lot more mortals who have no one to collect their bodies after death."

"You can't destroy the underworld, just as you can't kill me...... Your actions will make the whole world angry, just like Typhon, the king of demons who also wanted to destroy the world, you-"

Of course, Charon is also a god anyway, and what he needs is not the silver itself. What he could really get was the thoughts that the deceased's family pinned on the silver coins, and the reverence for him as a ferryman.

······

Zheng –

The gods are the agents of the law, and the origin of the gods is the fastest way to the root. As for the essence of immortality......

There was no such illusory world, and neither did the gods of Hemmanu and Egypt.
