Chapter 430 -324: Deep into the Underworld_2

But it didn’t matter anymore.

The palace of Hades was enveloped in pitch-black darkness where one could almost not see their own hand before their face. However, Duanmu Huai did not care as he silently pressed on, moving forward into the darkness. As he stepped further into the abyss, he could hear a voice breaking the silence.

“I never expected that you could make it here, outsider.”

With the sound of the voice, a sudden brightness illuminated the surroundings. Duanmu Huai raised his head and saw that he was standing in a huge, cylindrical cage. Simultaneously, Duanmu Huai suddenly felt a gust of wind whistle behind him. As he turned around, he saw twin iron hooks glowing with a purple radiance flying towards him. As though oblivious to the power armor Duanmu Huai wore, the hooks impaled his body effortlessly. Following this, Duanmu Huai felt a sudden burst of cold as his soul was bound by those hooks, trying to tear out of his body!

“Humph!!”

Duanmu Huai roared in anger at this moment, stomping the ground hard, suppressing the pain originating from his soul. Immediately, the black flames of Predetermined Death erupted from his body, following the direction of the chains. Accompanied by a sorrowful scream, a shadowy figure leaped out, the chains that were binding Duanmu Huai were smashed and went flying away from Duanmu Huai’s counterattack.

“I didn’t expect you to put up such a fight…”

“Are you Hades?”

Looking at the giant in front of him, Duanmu Huai grunted lightly, gripping his War Hammer tightly.

His first impression of Hades was… so ugly.

Duanmu Huai remembered watching the Underworld Arc of Saint Fighter as a child, where Hades was very handsome. However, the Hades in front of him was far from handsome. His bulky, obese body sculpted like a fat otaku, layers of adipose tissue overlapping on his stomach, and iron spikes were digging through his flesh all over his body. A mask with burning flames concealed his ugly face. Compared to the War God Ares, Hades seemed to be dressed rather lightly like a wrestler, only wearing a loincloth and a pair of boots – perhaps it was due to the scorching heat of hell?

“Yes, outsider…”

At this moment, Hades held the Soul Twin Hooks tightly and stared at Duanmu Huai. Although Duanmu Huai couldn’t make out his expression, he could guess from Hades’ tone that the latter must have been severely injured by the Predetermined Death.

As expected of the Underworld King, he could actually capture one’s soul. Although he failed, if his opponent had been a mortal, they probably would have died from the attack.

“Who are you exactly? What do you want?”

“The dead don’t need to know that much, Hades.”

Duanmu Huai clenched his War Hammer, with black flames erupting from all over his body. Simultaneously, a crimson radiance emerged from his helmet. Observing the man in front of him, Hades immediately felt an inexplicable dread, as if a terrible sense of fear had swept through his mind.

However, immediately following that, a sense of humiliation and rage surged in Hades’ heart.

He was the King of the Underworld, the God of Death, and yet, he was experiencing fear in front of such a mere mortal?!

An absolute disgrace!

“Since you don’t want to talk, I’ll kill you, then extract your soul and interrogate it slowly!”

“That depends on if you have the ability to do so!!”

As the words fell, a fierce battle between the two once again erupted.

Hades swung the soul hook in his hand and hurled it toward Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai swiftly lifted his war hammer in defense. The soul hook instantly wrapped around Duanmu Huai’s hammer. Hades then tightly gripped the chain connected to the soul hook and pulled forcefully toward himself.

Unlike his fight with Ares, Hades was noticeably more powerful, referring not only to strength but also size. Although Ares could transform into a giant, Duanmu Huai could also counteract his divine power transformation through Predetermined Death. Once Ares lost his transformation, he was about the same height as Duanmu Huai.

But Hades was different. As one of the top three in Olympus, even without transformation, he was easily nearly ten meters tall. Add his chubby, fat-body figure, and his strength was unfathomably strong. Therefore, even Duanmu Huai ended up in a deadlock with Hades, both pulling on the chain, trying to determine the victor through a test of strength.

“Take this!!”

Hades clung to the chain, roared in anger, and abruptly yanked it in his direction. Duanmu Huai faltered, stepping forward. Seeing this, a smile spread across Hades’ face. Clearly, his opponent had reached his limit, and all he needed to do was exert a bit more force———

But just then, a sharp pang of agony from behind interrupted Hades’ train of thought.

In fact, Duanmu Huai had also prepared for this. Upon realizing that he couldn’t overpower Hades with strength alone, he quickly switched his fighting method —— just as Hades pulled on the soul hook, Duanmu Huai rapidly summoned a Soul Card and unleashed magic at Hades!

[Majestic Spear]!

The incredibly hard spear, constructed from rock, rose from the ground and delivered Hades a millennium-scale sneak attack from behind!

“Ahhh!!!!”

The tremendous pain from his rear utterly crushed Hades’ fighting spirit. Crying out in agony, he arched his back, instinctively striving to rid himself of the scorching pain emanating from behind.

However, Duanmu Huai clearly wouldn’t give him that chance!

“Die!!”

The moment Hades let go of the chain, Duanmu Huai’s jetpack on his back suddenly burst forth. Next, like a giant stone from a catapult, he charged straight into Hades, directly hitting his lower abdomen and forcing Hades to stagger backward once again —— and the solid spear thrusted deeper into Hades’ body!

“Ahhhh!!!!”

The pain had nearly driven Hades insane, but Duanmu Huai felt no pity. After delivering another upgraded millennium-scale attack, Duanmu Huai leaped forward. He then grabbed the chainsaw sword, landed on Hades’ shoulder and, like chopping down a tree, raised the chainsaw sword and slashed down viciously at Hades’ neck!!

“Buzzzzz!!!!”

The chainsaw, wildly spinning, shredded Hades’ flesh, severing his neck. Hades tried to break free, but the pain from above and below paralysed his movements. Finally, Hades felt a chill on his neck —— the next moment, he was completely relieved from his agony.

As Hades’ decapitated head twirled in the air, his heavy, fat body collapsed onto the ground. Fresh, bright blood and divine power gushed out from his severed neck, flooding into Duanmu Huai.

“Phew…”

It wasn’t until then Duanmu Huai heaved a sigh of relief, jumped off Hades’ corpse. He looked at his handiwork, nodding in satisfaction.
