Godslayer's Legend

Zeus, enraged, tried to unleash lightning, but Poseidon stabbed his trident down into Zeus’ hand holding Astrape, the centre spike of the fork piercing through Zeus’ wrist and pinning his hand to the ground.

|POSEIDON, YOU DARE?! GET OFF ME!!!|

|SHUT THE FUCK UP, ZEUS!| Poseidon roared back before punching Zeus across the face with a divinity-infused fist.

The impact slammed Zeus back down, and Poseidon immediately flooded the area with divine water before freezing it solid, imprisoning Zeus beneath layers of ice.

Meanwhile, Hades stood there, calmly staring at Hestia as she continued pushing against his scythe.

For a moment, silence filled the space between them, along with the unspoken understanding that if Hades truly wanted to, he could overpower Hestia in an instant and cleave through both her and Poseidon to reach Zeus with his next strike.

However, Hestia also knew that if there was any one of their siblings that Hades did not secretly hold hatred and an intent to kill toward, then it was definitely her.

So she knew that even though Hades could, he wouldn’t kill her just to reach Zeus.

Just then, Zeus shattered the ice Poseidon had imprisoned him within, breaking free and trying to shove Poseidon away, but Poseidon roused his divinity and slammed Zeus back down onto the ground with immense force, ripping his trident out of Zeus’ arm and stabbing it straight into Zeus’ stomach, pinning him to the floor.

Blood spurted from Zeus’ body as he raged, his eyes turning bloodshot as golden blood-lightning erupted from him, spilling out in wild arcs that lashed indiscriminately across the surroundings.

However, Poseidon met Zeus’ blood-lightning with pure water, raising a massive wave of divinity-infused water that collided head-on with the point-blank lightning storm.

The two forces pressed against each other, hissing at the point of contact as the water continuously dispersed and absorbed the lightning discharge while the lightning attempted to tear through the flow, both cancelling and neutralising one another under equal Authority.

Zeus struggled against the trident, pinning him down, blood still seeping from the wound as he roared at Poseidon.

|WHY ARE YOU STOPPING ME?! HADES KILLED OLYMPIANS! HE KILLED MY CHILDREN, AND YOU’RE STOPPING ME!?|

Poseidon’s expression contorted at Zeus’ words, and he poured more power into his trident to keep Zeus pinned down as he snapped back.

|SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!|

His voice cracked with rage as he leaned closer, pressure building throughout the air around him.

|YOU THINK HIS RAGE IS ANYTHING BUT JUSTIFIED?! IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!|

Poseidon grabbed Zeus by the neck, lifting him slightly off the ground as water pressure coiled around his arm.

|I warned you countless times to let the boy be! He’s OUR brother’s son! And you couldn’t think with that empty skull of yours and still went ahead and killed him!|

|Congratulations, Zeus!| Poseidon shouted, slamming Zeus back onto the ground.

|YOU LET YOUR STUPID PARANOIA GET YOU AGAIN, AND NOW YOU’VE DOOMED OLYMPUS TO A WAR WE COULD’VE COMPLETELY AVOIDED!

There are dozens upon dozens of devil universes that have wanted to tear at Olympus for hundreds of thousands of years, and Diablo has been the one holding them back!

Now you’ve given him a reason to wage war upon us! YOU HAVE GIVEN THEM A REASON TO PICK AT OLYMPUS’ TERRITORY LIKE HAWKS!|

Zeus was about to shout back at Poseidon, however, Hades scoffed at that moment, pulling back the scythe and spinning it around before slamming it into the ground.

He forcefully dispersed the cosmic energy within it, then raised his other hand and activated his Authority of Death, and the entrapped souls of Apollo, Athena, Ares, and Dionysus appeared above his palm.

Zeus’ eyes were instantly drawn to their souls, and Hades, with a cold expression, spoke.

"Look, Zeus. The souls of your dear children."

He extended his hand toward Zeus and asked with a raised brow, "Want them?"

Zeus immediately snapped, rage flooding his expression as he tried to lunge forward.

Poseidon barely knocked him back down, forcing him into place again while glaring at Hades. "Don’t taunt him!"

Hades only scoffed at Poseidon and sealed the souls once more before calmly turning away.

|Underworld King’s Authority.|

Divinity seeped out of Hades’ body and merged with the ambient cosmic energy, and then he exercised his rights as the Ruler of the Underworld Dimension.

|By my decree, the Underworld shall be completely sealed off from the rest of the universe as of this instant.|

The moment he spoke, every single one of them present felt the universe weaken as a vital dimension was completely severed from the rest of it.

Their eyes widened, and Hestia immediately rushed toward Hades, reaching out to grab him as she shouted, "Hades, stop!"

However, Hades ignored her and continued his declaration.

|No soul, either mortal or deity, shall find solace. The dead ones shall rise again, walk the earth, and terrorise those who live in the waking world.|

As he spoke, the reincarnation path of the universe, which constantly recycled billions upon billions of souls every second, immediately shut down.

Every soul moving through its channels toward planets froze mid-flow before beginning to reverse course back toward the Underworld.

At the same time, dead souls from the subsectors of the Underworld for each planet stopped moving toward the reincarnation path and began backtracking toward their respective worlds instead, returning to the world of the living.

Poseidon immediately let go of Zeus and dashed toward Hades, and at the same time, Zeus, pushing Poseidon’s trident out of his body, erupted with lightning as he attempted to exercise his Authority as King of Olympus over Hades.

However, the damage Diablo had inflicted on the universe disrupted that Authority, and Hades snorted before his body dissolved into darkness a second before Poseidon could reach him and grab him.

|Even though those four souls aren’t worth it, I’ll be taking them with me. Maybe I’ll toss them into Tartarus and let them spend an eternity with the Titans and giants that they put there.|

|HADESSS!!!!|

Zeus bellowed in rage as Hades’ darkness fully vanished along with his presence, and before he could even think about heading toward the Underworld, his Authority as the Master of Olympus alerted him to an intrusion within Olympus.

His eyes widened as he sensed the powerful presences breaking in, and Poseidon’s expression immediately contorted as he sensed them too.

"Devils?!" he muttered, his tone darkening. "Already?!"

There was no time to process the loss of several Main Entities or the consequences of Hades sealing off the Underworld, as Olympus was already under attack by devils.

The war had already begun.
