(Merry Christmas, write 2,000 more words today, and I won't post 8,000 words in three chapters)

Scorching flames burst out from all around the earth, reaching into the sky, turning into a chaotic whirlpool of unjust souls in the sky.

The earth cracked, and the scorching storm roared out from all directions like a painful wail.

Carrying flames and lava, it runs through the entire space.

The violent environment in front of him was all caused by the outpouring of Hades' anger.

Flames swirled through the air, and Erica was enveloped in the chaos.

She reached out, trying to block out the firestorm in front of her.

But the high temperature everywhere still made her almost unable to open her eyes.

In the midst of this firestorm, Erica was like a fragile and tiny drifting leaf, struggling to stabilize herself on the ground.

The flames gradually engulfed the world in front of them, and the blazing light enveloped the surroundings.

The intense light obscured Erica's vision, plunging her into a trance-like red world.

As the light faded in front of her, Erica felt the scorching flames finally subside, and silence returned to her surroundings.

Feeling the strong wind breath gradually dissipate, Erica dared to slowly open her eyes.

But the scene that caught her eye made her stunned.

Shock and madness almost filled her eyes.

There was silence all around, but it turned into a huge arena of steel.

And at this moment, Erica is in the middle of the arena.

Heavy and terrifying steel structures are scattered all around, and a circle of pitch-black platforms has been built.

The farther you go, the taller it becomes.

As the light faded, so did the reflection in Erica's eyes.

The dense cyan souls on the high platform around her stood, thousands of pairs of silent eyes all focused on her.

In the next second, a celebratory flame rushed out from the top of the platform, spreading through the arena like a wave. This was followed by the carnival howls of countless souls, and the chaotic and excited cries resounded throughout the land.

Erica looked at the crazy scene around her, and her eyes were in a trance.

She slowly raised her head and looked up at the sky of this crazy land.

Overhead, there was still a dense starry sky of red stars.

And this shows that she did not leave the place just now.

It's just that the cyan giant just now simply changed the world around him.

Now, Erica is also aware of the other party's identity.

She looked up at the giant peeking out of the flames.

He seemed to have stepped out of the distant flame sky and stood heavily in front of Erica.

The master of the underworld - Hades.

The terrifying power he displayed fits the legendary description perfectly.

At the same time, surrounded by the flames of endless hell, Hades raised his spear high and lowered the tip of it slightly, pointing it at Erica.

"Ignorant humans."

He racked his brains and couldn't think of it.

The seemingly weak human girl in front of her turned out to be a brave man who took the initiative to enter hell and came to challenge him.

It's funny.

Could it be that the gods have been gone for so long that even he, the king of Hades, has been forgotten by the people?

Such thoughts caused anger to well-up in Hades's heart.

He wasn't sure if his anger was being challenged by the seemingly fragile girl, or if in his heart, the world had forgotten him.

But now, in the face of the challenge of humanity, he cannot but accept it.

Because as a 'king', he must accept all challenges, no matter who he is.

【King's Battlefield】

This is one of the rules of this world.

Hades is not only the god of hell, he is also the king of the underworld.

He lowered his head and looked at the weak Erica in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze, his eyes narrowing slightly.

This is bound to be a profoundly unfair challenge.

With a single blow, a stream of flame was enough to blow the fragile human girl away.

So

Hades shook the tip of the gun sharply, and his deep and hideous voice became extremely cold:

"You don't deserve to challenge me."

The next moment, thousands of dead souls seemed to emerge out of thin air, like a majestic cyan ocean, slowly flowing in the air.

Fierce and insane, they lined up behind Hades' massive frame.

"You can't even beat them."

As soon as the words fell, the countless ghosts twisted their bodies and swept through the space, rushing towards Erica in front of them.

Hades watched one ghost after another fill the space, shook his head slightly, and turned away.

It didn't seem long for these ghosts to tear the human girl in front of him apart.

Her flesh will remain in the underworld, and her revenant soul will begin to wander aimlessly, like these surging ghosts.

And at that time, Hades will try her again.

Send her back to the world and start her new reincarnation.

Although the appearance of this human is only a small episode of hell, it is undoubtedly a rare pleasure in Hades's long years.

He will remember this somewhat funny and somewhat brave human girl.

Suddenly, from behind Hades, a blazing and terrifying flame rose violently.

Throughout the wide and frenetic arena, a heavy exclamation erupted among the countless ghost spectators.

The shock quickly spread throughout the space, and even the flames on the ground seemed to be swaying wildly.

Hades clearly felt the strange aura coming from behind him.

He slowly raised his head, feeling the vast elemental power surging from behind him, and then slowly turned away.

At this time, Erica, who was not far away, was enveloped in fiery and pure elemental power.

It was like an elemental fire, spreading wildly in all directions.

Erica's eyes shimmered orange-yellow, and the space around her began to distort slightly.

The scorching fire from hell collided with the flames on the surface of her body, erupting in a staggered and terrifying wave of fiery energy.

The moment they approached Erica, the cyan spirits that poured out all of them turned into fiery moths, enveloped in the raging flames and dissipated.

After doing all this, Erica stood there quietly, her eyes firmly locked on the tall Hades in front of her.

"Let me challenge you."

Hades took a deep breath, feeling the pure fire element in Erica's body, and he took a deep breath.

"Interesting, I've seen a human with similar powers to you."

"I was very impressed with him."

Erica's eyes widened when she heard this, and a bright and surprising light flashed in her pupils.

Be...... Professor?

Immediately afterwards, Hades seemed to have exploded his whole body, the hair all over his body seemed to be burning, and the whole person was extremely angry.

Even the body, which was already huge enough, became a little bigger under the blessing of anger.

He gritted his teeth in anger and looked at Erica, endless anger pouring out of him:

"That's why I swore it."

"If I meet him again, I will never let him go!"

The aura of terror rushed straight into Erica's body.

caused her elementalized body to tremble suddenly.

It's as if I've been scared.

What did the professor do to make the Hades in front of him look like this?

After Hades finished speaking angrily, he waved his big hand and threw the trench coat on his left hand to the ground.

At this moment, Erica looked at the darkness that appeared in Hades's hand with some nervousness.

She was pleasantly surprised when the familiar trench coat hit the ground.

Gotta find a way to get that trench coat back!

But then, Erica felt as if she was locked in by a strong and shocking gaze, and her whole body became extremely stiff.

Even breathing seemed to freeze in this oppressive feeling.

"I thought you were the daughter of that human, but now it seems that you have blonde hair, and that human doesn't."

As soon as the words fell, Erica felt a lightness all over.

The majestic and heavy sense of confinement before began to gradually dissipate, and her body gradually relaxed a little.

"Well, you've piqued my interest."

Hades looked at her and continued.

"If you can hold three moves under my hands, I'll let you out of here."

Before Erica could react, Hades had already held out a finger.

In the air, a gesture of "one" was made.

"The first move."

Immediately, with a wave of the tip of Hades' spear, a terrifying slash containing hellfire burst through the air and headed straight for Erica.

Erica's eyes widened, and she instinctively mobilized the forces of nature.

A scorching wall of flames slammed into the ground, trying to fend off the onslaught of incomparable.

But the swirling wind tore apart the wall of fire almost instantly, and the powerful impact hit Erica.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the force of the explosion spread out in all directions, and the smoke and dust soared into the sky.

With this first move, Erica's elementalized body began to flicker.

Her body was exposed, and her skin was covered in burn marks.

She stood on her feet, one arm hanging and gasping.

But her eyes were still full of determination.

Seeing Erica look so hard to withstand this blow, Hades couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.

It seems that after this second move, I am afraid there will be no follow-up.

But he didn't speak, just silently stretched out his hand and gestured a "two".

"The second move."

As his words fell, the spear spun wildly in his hand.

A furious flame swirled in the air, tightly enveloping Hades' body.

Boom!

The next moment, he slammed the spear in his hand into the ground.

Countless fragments of flame spun rapidly in the air, tearing through the scorching air around them.

A sharp and violent wave of qi was triggered, forcing towards Erica.

But while they were fighting fiercely, Hades didn't notice it.

A dark crow had quietly flown to the place where he had discarded his trench coat and quietly picked up the black trench coat.

At the moment when the furious flames approached Erica, her weak body erupted with a majestic magic force again.

The burning flames were ignited again, turning into countless flying flames.

When these shattered fires were torn apart by the winds of hell, they converged in one place.

Eventually, an earth-shattering explosion erupted in the center of the arena, obscuring the surrounding land.

Erica, who was composed of countless flames, reappeared, and actually flew backwards dozens of meters, slamming heavily under the pitch-black steel platform.

At this moment, the pure flames that had enveloped her were gone.

The whole person had lost the strength to get up, and his whole body was covered with purple and blue injuries.

The pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow continued to invade Erica's heart, tormenting her flesh.

The image in front of her began to blur.

The frantic cries from the audience were still tapping on her eardrums, as if mocking her incompetence.

But she still brace herself up, her head raised, and her eyes stared at the tall Hades in front of her.

Looking at Erica, who was covered in bruises and almost fainted in front of him, Hades couldn't help but sigh.

He closed his eyes and raised his spear.

"Last resort."

The majestic cyan arm slammed out, and with a majestic force it passed through the space.

It tore through the scorching wind around it and turned into a red meteor that passed through the arena and sped towards Erica.

But suddenly, a pitch-black shadow slowly fell from the sky and covered Erica's body.

It was a trench coat.

In the next second, the sharp stab was about to touch Erica's body, and a strong flash of light burst out.

Rumble!

The furious sound that filled the whole world completely overwhelmed the whole world, and the blazing light seemed to swallow it all.

In the deep silence, the violent waves of light and sound gradually tore apart the entire space, releasing a terrifying coercion.

Looking at the explosion of flames in front of him, Hades closed his eyes and shook his head, ready to leave this lifeless land,

"It's over."

Next, should we hold a human funeral for this human girl?

Not...... When did he start to be so sentimental?

But as he pondered, a natural energy that was more majestic than before surged out of him.

This chaotic power to the extreme is like a sea of scorching lava filling the entire starry sky.

No, no!

Hades jerked his head up and looked into the dense fog of smoke and dust that had been lifted dozens of meters high.

"What?"

In the midst of his exclamation, his vision gradually blurred.

In front of him, 'Erica' put on her dark trench coat and fluttered in the air with the scorching waves.

Her face was expressionless, and she naturally put her hands in the pockets of her trench coat.

And on Erica's shoulder, there stood a pitch-black crow.

In front of them, a transparent dirt barrier stood majestically.

【Clear and clear earth】

The transparent earthen wall seemed to freeze in the air, and as the smoke and dust around it completely dissipated, the tall wall collapsed and disappeared.

At this time, Erica's gaze was calmly locked on Hades.

Her voice then sounded faintly:

"Is that all there is to it?"

Hades looked at the scene in front of him, and the whole person fell into a daze.

His eyes widened slightly, and a sense of surprise welled up in his heart, and his eyes were fixed on the blonde girl in front of him.

Because he sensed an unusual atmosphere.

It's still the girl in front of her, but the temperament revealed is completely different.

It's like a soul from beginning to end, replaced by another person.

Now, 'Erica' lowered her head, as if looking at her body.

Her gaze focused on her upper body, glancing over the slightly bulging part.

A girl's body......

"It's really uncomfortable."

"Okay."

In the next second, a stream of red flames jumped on Erica's body like an energetic elf.

The flames quickly spread along her limbs, wrapping her whole body tightly.

The pure and bright flames flew up tens of meters high, heading straight towards the quiet and steady red stars.

Bang!

The flames that enveloped his body suddenly erupted, and the chaotic heat almost completely obscured the entire space.

Out of the flames, a man in a trench coat came out.

The black trench coat behind him was covered with red stripes.

And he himself showed a confident posture, with his hands in his pockets, exuding an unquestionable aura.

"Merry Christmas, Hades."

As the words fell, Hades's eyes saw the man in front of him, and his eyes were suddenly bloodshot.

The bright, blazing light flickered along with the flames burning all over his body.

The mad infernal flames and elemental flames collided with each other, setting off a wave of majestic qi.

Looking at the furious Hades in front of him, the corners of Victor's mouth raised slightly.

"And ......"

"Now, we're going to make a substitution."
