28: Chapter 28

Hades's gaze was extremely cold as he glared intently at the four figures in the sky. "Red Dragon Emperor, White Dragon Emperor, Thunder Emperor, Holy Emperor—you four brats have some nerve, daring to attack even the Underworld?"

In midair, the four figures lined up side by side.

A young man carrying a spear stood tall and proud.

A figure enveloped in lightning stood with the majesty of a divine statue.

A young man in silver-white armor exuded a cold aura.

At the very front was a massive dragon, over fifty zhang in size.

...

Hades's roar not only shook the entire Underworld, but also penetrated every corner of the Netherworld.

Countless devils and major sect masters heard it loud and clear.

The same thought popped into everyone's mind simultaneously—something big was bound to happen today.

Something big enough to change the entire landscape of the Netherworld.

The Four Great Emperors had joined forces to attack the Underworld, their target aimed directly at Hades, God of the Underworld.

That was one of the top ten strongest experts in the world!

An existence that countless living beings could only look up to.

Just as these devils and sect masters were still shocked by the boldness of the Four Great Emperors and were watching the battle unfold—

No one noticed.

Two Maous had already quietly left the Netherworld.

Over in Heaven, a few figures of Seraphs could be faintly seen flying out.

In a research laboratory deep in Hell, Azazel put down the "Artificial Sacred Gear" he had just completed and walked out.

In the distant mountain range, a massive black dragon soared into the sky.

On the eastern sea surface, someone came treading on the waves.

One bolt of lightning after another exploded in the sky above Mount Olympus.

Zeus suddenly stood up from his divine throne, his eyes wide as copper bells. The entire sacred mountain was shaking, and the air was filled with the aura of destruction, causing the surrounding gods and divine messengers to shiver all over. "A few ants holding broken Sacred Gears—do they really think they can slay a god just because they inherited the scrap metal of the God of Destruction?"

No one dared to make a sound.

No one knew why the God King had suddenly flown into such a rage.

At this moment, two figures appeared out of thin air in the temple, blocking Zeus's path. "Your Majesty God King, the Red Dragon Emperor and the others can't kill Hades. There's no need for you to be so worked up."

Zeus narrowed his eyes. "Ajuka, Sirzechs."

He glared intently at the two guys standing in front of him.

The strength of these two had long been exposed; both were Super Devils. And neither was weaker than him. Especially Sirzechs, who was enveloped in the Power of Destruction and had completely changed form, making Zeus feel a sense of danger.

It was a threat stemming from life's instincts. "Good, very good." Zeus gritted his teeth. "You in the Netherworld have hidden yourselves deep indeed. Do you really think those four brats can make Hades fall?"

He was so angry his lungs felt like they were about to burst.

But in the end, he held it in and sat back down on his throne.

Neither of these two guys was to be trifled with. If they joined forces, he wouldn't be able to hold them off at all. Let alone fighting a battle between Super Devils on Mount Olympus—he might even lose his pantheon's entire foundation.

The Norse Pantheon.

Odin looked with a smile at Michael, who was blocking his path. "With just you alone, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop me."

"That's why, old man—"

A voice echoed from the sky. "Didn't I run all the way over here just to give you plenty of face?"

Azazel descended from the sky—the Governor General of the Fallen Angels and the leader of Grigori.

Odin glanced at him. "Those two brats from the Heavenly Dragon families really have great luck."

The Hindu Pantheon.

Shiva, the God of Destruction, had just stood up when he sat back down.

The other two Supreme Gods could only smile bitterly.

Blocking the pantheon's entrance were three major deities—Indra, the first-generation Sun Wukong, and Jade Dragon, one of the Five Great Dragon Kings.

Fighting these guys just for a Cao Cao who had offended their pantheon?

It wasn't that they couldn't win, they just felt it wasn't worth it.

As for the other second-rate pantheons, they were either affiliates of the Greek Pantheon or had been harassed by those problem children of the Four Great Emperors. They had wanted to take advantage of the chaos to surround and suppress them.

But instead, a black dragon blocked their path.

An Evil Dragon.

An Evil Dragon of the Heavenly Dragon class.

The Crescent Circle's Dark Dragon—Crom Cruach.

After the sound from the depths of the Netherworld erupted, all the pantheons shut their mouths completely.

Over at the Underworld, the great battle had completely shattered the sky.

One rumbling sound followed another, so violent it seemed as if it would overturn the entire Netherworld.

Luo Yu and the other three tightly pinned down Hades.

This top-tier expert ranked in the world's top ten was surrounded in the middle, his face distorted.

Lightning struck wildly, holy light exploded chaotically, death energy surged, and magic power burst.

Space shattered piece by piece, then healed piece by piece.

Every clash of power carried away thousands of Yin spirits.

The Grim Reapers on the ground were also dragged into the battle.

Cao Cao's faction—Siegfried, Heracles, and Georg—had all gone into a killing frenzy.

Vali's subordinates—Arthur, Kuroka, and Le Fay—were not idle either.

Sairaorg Bael rushed at the very front, taking down one with each strike.

The Grim Reapers of the Underworld were hacked to pieces.

The onlookers around them all gasped in shock.

These Four Emperors were planning to root out the Underworld completely.

Hades gritted his teeth in rage.

These Grim Reapers were the foundation he had accumulated over tens of thousands of years. "Still have time to be distracted?"

Cao Cao seized the opportunity and violently hurled the General Jewel.

The True Longinus in his hand had already entered its Balance Breaker state, and the golden light of the Brilliant Spear of the Polar Night Celestial Emperor surged violently.

The spear pierced straight into Hades.

Hades cried out in pain, his anger burning even hotter.

Death energy instantly surged, sealing off the space around Cao Cao.

He wanted to use the Horse Jewel's ability to flash away, but found there was nowhere to run.

The spear condensed from death energy thrust straight down at Cao Cao's head.

Vali immediately expanded the White Dragon Emperor's domain, cutting both the power and size of that spear in half.

But even so, Cao Cao still couldn't withstand it and was blasted flying. "This guy is just too reckless."

Luo Yu stepped up, blocking a wave of Hades's fierce attacks.

He knew in his heart that if he hadn't been here holding the line, the three of them would have been defeated one by one long ago.

Once Cao Cao caught his breath and returned, they could slowly wear down this skeleton.

Among the four of them, Luo Yu was the strongest.

The other three were, at most, at the early Maou level.

Time passed bit by bit.

Luo Yu and the others completely took control of the battle.

Hades, an expert of the Super Devil level, was pinned down completely.

Vali and Cao Cao's coordination grew increasingly seamless, with any counterattack being neutralized by their combined efforts.

The Zenith Tempest in Dulio's hand had already entered its Balance Breaker form—Speranza Duende.

He pushed the power of his Sacred Gear to the limit, and cooperating with the strongest, Luo Yu, they ruthlessly pinned Hades down and beat him.

After this battle, whether it was the devils of the Netherworld or the spectators from the other Three Realms, everyone re-evaluated the weight of the Four Emperors.

Hades and his group each had their strength soaring to the peak of the Super Devil King Class.

Combined with the special abilities of the Sacred Gears in their hands, they were much more difficult to deal with than ordinary peak Super Devil King Class experts.

Unless it was someone at the Super Devil level, they were truly hard to handle.

These four of the Four Great Emperors were now basically the top-tier combat forces standing at the peak of the Three Realms. "Bastards... Red Dragon Emperor, White Dragon Emperor, you two must die today!"

Being suppressed and beaten by four juniors, Hades completely lost his mind.

Forming hand seals, he directly opened the Seal of the Gods buried beneath the temple ruins. "Not good, retreat..."

Luo Yu's heart suddenly constricted, and a dread akin to encountering a natural enemy instantly surged through his entire body.

He could clearly feel the scales on his body trembling, exuding an instinctive fear.

His strength instantly dropped by several tiers.

Vali beside him was also affected, though not as severely as he was.

Hearing Luo Yu's shout, Cao Cao, Vali, and Dulio did not hesitate for a second. They immediately retreated, pulling back their distance from Hades and confronting him from afar.

At this moment, the terrifying thing sealed beneath the temple ruins finally revealed its true form.

Black miasma surged, and within it appeared a monster with the upper body of a Fallen Angel and the lower body of a dragon.

It seemed to gather all the malice, hatred, anger, and resentment in the world...

It was purely the collection of all negative emotions in the world.

As soon as this thing appeared, Luo Yu's strength was suppressed by several more tiers. "Dragon Eater Samael... Hades actually dared to release it."

"It's out, Dragon Eater Samael. Vali, be careful."

In Luo Yu's and Vali's minds, the voices of Ddraig and Albion rang out simultaneously.

The moment Dragon Eater Samael appeared, the faces of all the onlookers changed completely.

Hades actually dared to openly violate the Covenant of the Gods to release this thing?

"Hades, that bastard!"

Odin blew his top on the spot, disregarding his image to swear loudly right in front of Michael and Azazel.

The three Supreme Gods of the Hindu Pantheon, including Shiva, also looked displeased as they stared coldly at Hades.

After this matter was over, they had to remove Dragon Eater Samael from the Underworld.

Such a dangerous thing had to be handed over to someone more reliable to guard.

Michael of Heaven was a pretty good candidate.

Zeus's face was also so dark it could practically drip water.

He could feel that many people in the dark were casting dissatisfied looks at him.

Who told Hades to be a member of his Greek Pantheon?

As the God King, he had to shoulder this responsibility.

One had to know that dragon species were extremely important members in every pantheon.

Some pantheons were governed entirely by dragon species.

Dragon species held an extremely high status in the Three Realms.

Anyone who dared to release the bane of dragon species, Dragon Eater Samael—

That would be making an enemy of all dragon species in the Three Realms.

Which was equivalent to making an enemy of all pantheons in the Three Realms.

Above the Underworld, the black mist pressed lower and lower.

That aura felt like countless curses slamming onto his body, causing Luo Yu's heart to sink. "Dragon Eater Samael's Dragon Slayer Curse is indeed the most fatal thing to the dragon race."

He stared at Samael's distorted figure, which was still howling desperately, as if trying to roar out all its malice. "Hehe... Red Dragon Emperor, White Dragon Emperor, in front of the Dragon Eater, how much of your capability is still left?"

Hades's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like sandpaper scraping on sheet metal.

His plan was very simple—take advantage of Samael's curse suppressing the two Dragon Emperors to finish them off first.

The remaining Holy Emperor and Thunder Emperor were simply not worth mentioning.

With his strength as a Super Devil, cleaning them up would be extremely easy.

Having fought for so long, Hades had also understood.

Among these four, the most troublesome one was the Red Dragon Emperor.

After that guy reincarnated into the dragon race, his combat power had skyrocketed.

Especially his holy power, which naturally countered death energy, making him even more ruthless than Michael and the others of Heaven. "Hades, did you think I'd be stupid enough to just deliver myself to your doorstep?"

Luo Yu didn't give him any chance to react at all, shouting to the three behind him, "Vali, Cao Cao, Dulio, do it!"

Several spatial chains were instantly pulled out from the hands of the three.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that this thing had not been prepared in just a day or two.

Hades frowned.

He couldn't understand what the Red Dragon Emperor was trying to do.
