Ch.92Ep.92 Conquest of Olympus

“Haven’t I always told you, sister! You and I have too much of an elemental mismatch!”

“Kuk!”

Crackle-zap!

The moment Zeus’s lightning bolt pierced through the wall of water, about to strike Poseidon directly.

She barely managed to deflect the lightning with Triaina, avoiding a direct hit.

A battle of water and electricity.

Since water was the most suitable environment for electricity to conduct, it was inevitable that Poseidon would be at a disadvantage against Zeus.

‘This damn guy is just brute force and nothing else…!’

In truth, considering elemental matchups, Poseidon should have been facing Hades.

The problem was that if they did that, allies without divine orders would have to face Zeus.

If Hades was technique, Zeus was pure power.

Naturally, Zeus was the more difficult opponent for those without divine orders.

With technique, one could find ways to attack, but before overwhelming power, everything was useless.

The stronger person should take on the stronger opponent even with an unfavorable matchup, so the rest can fight properly.

Zeus seemed to know this as well, going all out from the beginning once the matchup with Poseidon began.

“Give up! While my brother is resolute, I am willing to spare you if you kneel here!”

“That’s impossible.”

“The cause you speak of doesn’t align with our ideology. Such a worthless cause–“

“The very fact that you think it’s worthless! That’s why I despise Olympus!”

Swoooosh!

As Poseidon swung Triaina, water streams poured toward Zeus from all directions.

He seemed flustered by the sudden irregular attack, but.

“I told you it won’t work!”

Crackle-zap!

He evaporated all the moisture by emitting lightning, nullifying her attack.

But Poseidon relentlessly continued pouring water streams.

Zeus couldn’t understand why she kept up these useless attacks.

All this would do was increase the water vapor–

“W-wait, could it be?”

“As expected of the youngest, your mind isn’t completely rigid yet. Power isn’t everything on the battlefield.”

“Poseidooooon!!”

“Freeze.”

Crack-crack-crack.

Under Poseidon’s command, the water vapor that Zeus had evaporated rapidly condensed, freezing his entire body.

But Poseidon didn’t stop. She continued adding cold water created with her divine water order to the freezing vapor, infusing it with magical power to prevent the ice from breaking.

‘This is the most I can do right now!’

Keeping Zeus restrained like this to prevent him from rampaging on the battlefield was Poseidon’s best option.

No matter how unfavorable her matchup with Zeus was, once frozen, elemental advantages meant nothing.

Of course, normally Zeus would easily break the ice and escape.

But the trap Poseidon had prepared with gritted teeth was an environment even he would find difficult to escape from.

The only option left was for the others to quickly finish their battles and come to support.

“So… hang in there!”

Leaving Poseidon behind with her trembling arms, Hades was facing the combined offensive of those with Orders.

“In about 3 seconds, two o’clock direction!”

“That damned woman!!”

“Where are you looking! I’m your opponent here!!”

“My revenge begins now!”

“Kyaaaaaaaa!! I’ll kill you!!”

Contrary to expectations that Hades would have the upper hand, Kadinant’s joint attack was fierce.

First, Arsia took on the role of commander for the group.

Having developed her foresight to the extreme, she could now see the future clearly.

This allowed her to give precise instructions to her companions.

Those fighting on the front lines were Brina, Elysse, and Serena.

Brina trusted her infinitely regenerating body and kept striking at Hades’ blind spots.

Elysse, finally able to take revenge, swung her scythe with everything she had.

Serena was a bit surprised at being told to fight a god, but she followed her leader anyway.

It was her first time using an Order, but being undead, it was a great help in battle.

Namgung Ihyun and Jirva provided rear support.

The spirit command occasionally succeeded in stopping Hades’ movements.

The sandstorm and underworld legion summoned by Jirva were tremendous help to those attacking together.

Could there be a more perfect joint attack?

People who knew everything about the future and could respond accordingly were tormenting Hades.

Those with mere Orders, and one of them even his former subordinate, were pushing him back.

As unexpected situations continued, Hades felt indescribable rage.

“You worms…!”

[That’s your current state, Underworld King, getting trampled by those worms.]

At Namgung Ihyun’s cold words, Hades continued to grind his teeth.

If he still had Kynee that Radios had shattered, he wouldn’t have been held back by these people.

Of all things, to have it destroyed right before his eyes in such a manner—just thinking about it made him furious.

“Get out of my way!!”

“Kuk!”

“Fall back! You can’t easily block that pattern!”

“Elysse is right. Looking into the future, I see a terrible blade storm coming… retreat for now!”

Elysse could tell what technique Hades was about to use by his stance.

Having once witnessed his battles as a death messenger, she could lead the fight advantageously.

The technique Hades was about to use now was Blade Storm.

If he used this skill with Kynee, it would be a disaster.

One would have to block countless blades flying from invisible directions purely by instinct.

“Blade Storm is divided into two patterns! First is random firing, and getting hit during this is disastrous! After the random pattern ends, Hades directly controls the blades, and that’s when we should approach for a joint attack!”

“Good! I’ll go first!”

Brina compressed her blood mist to launch her new technique, Blood Burst, at Hades.

He deflected her attack with numerous blades as if he had been waiting for it.

Just as Elysse had warned, a barrage of blades descended upon the group.

“Die!!”

Swish-swish-swish!

Countless blades rained down on the group.

[Block them, block them, block them all!]

“Legion of the underworld, throw yourselves at the blades to protect our allies!”

Namgung Ihyun and Jirva protected their allies to minimize damage.

Arsia constantly used her foresight to see the future and adjust everyone’s positions.

After surviving the first pattern without any damage…

“I’ll go in first!”

As the second pattern, blade control, began, Elysse was the first to leap toward Hades.

“Flame Reaper.”

As she swung her scythe forcefully, an invisible energy struck Hades’ entire body.

However, he deflected the attack by controlling his blades as if he had been expecting it.

Brina, who followed closely behind, unleashed the Blood Burst she had prepared.

“Blood Burst × 10”

“..!”

Boom-boom-boom-boom!

Hades couldn’t properly react to the explosion right in front of him, and took effective damage.

Blood Burst was a skill that had inflicted fatal wounds even on Nyarlathotep.

Even though Hades possessed a divine order, the damage was definitely significant.

“Now! Keep attacking!”

Encouraged by the momentum, Arsia also used Will-o’-wisp to launch a fierce attack on Hades.

However, Hades seemed suspiciously calm despite taking continuous hits.

“W-wait! Everyone stop!!”

Arsia, who had seen the future with her foresight, shouted with a pale face, but.

“Haaaaa!”

“Kyaaak!”

“Aaaak!”

At Hades’ roar infused with divine power, everyone in the group collapsed on the spot, clutching their heads.

“As if I, Hades, would fall to such attacks–“

Bang! Bang!

Just as Hades was about to boast of his resilience.

Two gunshots rang out, and bullets pierced through Hades’ body twice.

“Kuluk!”

The culprit was obvious without looking.

“Radios… Magnuuuum!”

He had sacrificed his advantage in the fight with Nyx to hit Hades with god-killing bullets.

Hades began to weaken rapidly after taking unexpected damage.

“Weeeeek!”

From the beginning, god-killing bullets were most lethal against gods.

Having been hit not once but twice, the pain Hades felt was beyond imagination.

Of course, this didn’t mean the collapsed fighters could suddenly get up and deliver a fatal blow to him.

The divine roar was too devastating for beings without divine orders.

But there was one who regained consciousness and charged forward despite the situation.

“You goddamn bastard!!”

It was Brina.

With a goblin’s body, she could quickly recover from the damage inflicted by Hades.

She got up and was able to launch another Blood Burst at the critically wounded Hades.

“You think I’ll just take that!”

Hades hurriedly threw a dagger to split the Blood Burst and prepared to roar again at the charging Brina, but.

“–!”

The moment he tried to shout, no sound came out.

‘Oh no! Silence Order!’

Hades looked at the fallen Elysse with a shocked expression.

She curled one corner of her mouth into a smirk, looking satisfied.

‘If the roar is a one-hit kill, then just block the voice.’

Elysse felt proud that she had contributed significantly to the revenge against Hades.

Thanks to her, Brina, who had reached within striking distance of Hades…

“Blood Mist Style, Final Secret Technique.”

Woooong.

She successfully bought time for the final secret technique of the Blood Mist Style to form.

“Blood Burst!”

“Kuuuuugh!!”

She succeeded in driving her fist, carrying everyone’s hopes, into Hades’ heart.
