The raging fire was as dazzling as the scorching sun, and the scorching waves fiercely impacted the darkness of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The orange-gold flame reflected in Victor's deep pupils, like the eyes of fire in the night.

Perhaps hearing Victor's words, the disembodied flame completely unleashed its last power.

It burned even more violently, outlining Hades' clear outline.

Sleeping in the flames, his eyes were closed, and when he felt Victor's breath, he opened them slightly.

His eyes were extinguished with rage, but there was more relief and satisfaction.

A mixture of calm and respectful gaze made the king even more solemn.

At this moment, Hades was speechless.

But it made a gesture of great respect.

The moment it was taken off, the fiery crown miraculously turned into a solid golden crown.

Hades stretched out his arm forged of flame and handed the crown to Victor.

Facing the crown handed by the King of the Underworld, Victor did not hesitate, calmly stretched out his hand, and took it steadily.

After defeating the gods, the gods will give the challenger a divine sign forged by divine power.

Although the cloak given to Victor earlier is also a token of Hades' gods.

But strictly speaking, it was Persephone who gave it to him.

And this time, it was he who really defeated Hades and got Hades's god token with his own hands.

【Hades' Invisibility Helmet】

[Effect: Hidden Shadow - Can enter the stealth state, after entering the stealth state, you cannot attack, you cannot use skills, and attacking or using skills will interrupt the stealth state.] 】

[Introduction: Hades's most important treasure will only be given to those who are truly respected by him - 'its power is imperceptible even to the Titans']

That's right, this is the true artifact that comes with defeating Hades' challenge.

His most important stealth helmet.

This is also an absolute treasure that Hades can confront the twelve main gods head-on and not fall behind at all.

"Then, I'll accept it unceremoniously."

Victor waved his hand lightly, and the golden crown disappeared into his palm like a spark.

And the shadow of Hades, which had turned into flames, was finally satisfied, and the flames rose and disappeared from this dark space.

When Hades faced that attack, he had already run out of health.

The divine power of the three supreme gods, the faith of millions of dead souls.

The power of the six calamities, as well as the amplification of Erica's body.

These forces converged to form an attack that Hades could not resist with his own strength.

If Hades still has the power to unleash another ultimate, he may be able to barely resist this attack.

But his strength was exhausted long before he fended off Victor's second move, and he was borrowed by Victor and turned into endless darkness, engulfing the entire world.

At this point, however, Hades was finally able to free himself from the curse he had placed on the gods thousands of years ago.

That's why it didn't break away after 'death', but stayed where it was.

He waited for Victor, and then willingly gave him his most important treasure.

After doing all this, Hades seemed to have finally ended his obsession.

He sank his body back into the bottom of the underworld and fell into a deep sleep.

When he awakens, he will completely unleash all his powers.

Of course, all of this will be seen by the gods.

Seeing this scene, Persephone, who was hiding on the side, cautiously poked his head out.

After inspecting the Western Zhou, he lifted the white skirt and ran out briskly.

She looked back and forth around the ashes of the fire that Hades had just left,

Finally, she looked at Victor and asked in a surprising voice:

"Dead?"

“……”

Victor was silent for a long time.

Although he understood Possephone's intentions, at this moment, the words always seemed inappropriate.

It was as if he had become some kind of accomplice to Persephone.

But in the end, he nodded.

Receiving Victor's affirmation, Persephone hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief.

patted his plump chest, showed a happy smile and said:

"Great."

"If he hadn't died, all my plans would have been ruined."

This sentence can't help but make the whole atmosphere even more weird.

Vega on the side secretly glanced at Victor, and there was an obvious sense of banter flashing in his single eye.

It's like making fun of Victor.

At this point, Persephone turned his head.

She raised her gaze and saw the crow on Victor's shoulder, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little wary.

She was silent for a moment.

Suddenly realized that the man in front of him was too dangerous.

Defeated and killed almost all the gods in Hell in order to obtain all the gods tokens of those gods.

From a normal person's point of view, Victor's actions are enough to shock the world!

Just one human being, in order to kill out of the underworld, actually killed almost all the gods in the entire underworld.

He succeeded in single-handedly resurrecting all the gods in the underworld except her.

Well, there's a boatman left, but Persephone didn't take that guy seriously.

She knew that Victor might have the strength to defeat Hades.

But she never thought that Victor would kill Hades, who was almost full, in such a way.

The color of the stars is a combination of the power of countless gods and the power of nature.

There was a mixture of various powers, and the final result was a power that even the gods feared.

But this force ......

That's right, it's not just the power of the gods.

It seems that even the millions of dead souls were sacrificed among them.

So, with some hesitation, Persephone asked Victor:

"Those million souls, where did you take them?"

She did allow Victor to use the million dead souls as his power.

But she didn't promise Victor that he could release them as one-off fireworks.

After hearing this question, Victor replied lightly:

"I'll get them back to humanity in a better way."

Victor won't let them reincarnate, as that would cause them to lose their memories.

Correspondingly, they will also forget their faith in Vega.

Once these believers are lost, Vega's million faith power will disappear without a trace.

You can't kill the chickens after laying eggs, and one-time use is definitely not Victor's style.

Hearing Victor's answer, Persephone opened his mouth slightly.

She looked at the man in front of her in surprise.

It seems that he never thought that Victor would have such intentions.

Just, to preserve the memories of their millions of souls, to let them leave the underworld and return to the human world?

Is this possible?

They were people who had already died once.

Especially these revenants, all of them have been remembered by the cautious gods, and they cannot be reincarnated.

If they leave the underworld and lose their protection, will the gods let them go?

"Remember the million souls I brought with me when I first came?"

Victor's indifferent voice suddenly sounded, and Persephone froze in place.

It took a while to react, frowning, and thinking slightly.

She knew what Victor was referring to.

Although she had never seen Victor send millions of undead to hell in the first place.

But she knew that Hades had spent a lot of time and energy trying to capture the wandering souls.

For now, they are still imprisoned in the lowest prisons of the underworld.

Why did Victor mention these ghosts at this time?

"It was a ploy of the gods."

Victor saw Persephone's confusion and began to take the initiative to explain:

"Accepting millions of souls to sacrifice faith, this plan, you should be familiar with it, right?"

Hearing this explanation, Persephone was stunned.

Her eyes widened with disbelief as she met Victor's gaze with trembling.

Does this plan sound familiar?

That's all too familiar!

This is even something she has seen with her own eyes.

Victor created a god with millions of dead souls from hell as his followers.

The power of a million faiths is undoubtedly an important resource for any god.

If it is obtained by those gods, even if it is separated by them, it will be a lot of power.

Divine power can only be obtained by the blessing of faith.

Their underworld is not as good as the heavenly realm, and they can fight with them all thanks to the strength of Hades alone.

But if those gods succeeded, wouldn't they have to suppress the underworld steadily?

Thankfully, Victor brought the crimson souls into the underworld.

Otherwise, she still wants to start a war with the Heavenly Realm and ask for power?

She first prayed that the other party would not come to fight the underworld, which would be a blessing.

"They plan to train these souls to become immortal warriors and instill faith in them."

Victor continued lightly.

"In this way, the main gods can be called back to the world again."

The souls of these dead souls are eternal and difficult to deal with.

Therefore, they can only be left in the underworld to hold on to the hope of those main gods.

At this point, Victor's gaze slipped across the dark and inky abyss, as if he were looking at the colorful starry sky.

"At this time, they should be in the face of that piece of star, anxious and helpless."

This starry color that obscures the sky is not just a manifestation of Vega's power.

It also obscured the vision of the gods, making it impossible for them to penetrate their gaze from the heavenly realm to the human world and to the underground.

"When the time comes, we will make an equivalent exchange, and exchange these million human souls for those million immortal warriors."

"They're definitely willing to make the deal."

This statement made Persephone shudder.

No one expected that the gods were secretly planning such a scheme.

Perhaps after being forced to leave the world, they began to work on this plan.

However, instead of panicking, she wondered how Victor knew.

It's as if he'd been through all of the plans he spoke of.

Just as Persephone was thinking, Victor suddenly turned his back and walked towards the unconscious Erica.

At the same time, the indifferent voice sounded from him:

"It's a pity, even if they do return to the human world, I can let them escape back to the heavenly realm with their tails between their legs."

The confidence shown by this statement stunned Persephone, who stared intently at Victor's black trench coat.

What kind of confidence does the person in front of him have that makes him dare to speak out like this?

She knew the answer.

It is a power he possesses that is fearless of any god.

From his eyes, Persephone could never see the slightest reverence for the gods.

Anyone, any god, is like an equal pig and dog in his eyes.

It's like.

As long as he wants, every person, every god.

may become the object of his slaughter.

As she saw in front of her eyes—

Victor held Erica's body with one hand, and the other supported her neck.

Let the unconscious blonde teenage girl lie quietly in his arms.

Immediately after, the darkness in front of him was shaken by the breeze, which made the darkness in front of him tremble a little.

In the next second, a huge mechanical door enveloped in infernal flames rose up in the darkness.

Just as he first came to Hell, there is no change in this gate of Hell.

Still holding the head of the burning goat, the steel gears on both sides twisted endlessly.

Victor didn't look back, just let the flames burn above the gates of hell grow stronger.

Looking at the surging orange in his eyes, Victor spoke lightly.

In this burning hell of the devil, the last words were left:

"Because I'm back."

"Isn't that enough?"
