Chapter 142 : The war of killing gods, blasphemers!
Crack!
The space around Li Yu shattered like glass struck by a heavy blow, revealing dense cracks. An overwhelmingly powerful force tore through the Sanctuary's spatial barrier, exposing a dark void.
The next second, Li Yu's figure transformed into lightning, like a meteor ripping through the sky. Enveloped by purple Chaos Lightning that could tear apart the universe and a frigid current capable of freezing eternity, he instantly traversed tens of thousands of meters, appearing precisely above Hades's Castle.
He hovered directly above the golden Tenbu Hōrin.
During his flight, his coarse Cloth attire had already vanished, replaced by the evolved Aquarius Cloth.
The evolved Aquarius Gold Cloth seemed to have been repeatedly cast from divine gold. Each plate flowed with perfect power patterns.
The engravings on the shoulder armor shimmered with a cold silver light, and the white cape on his back was entwined with purple lightning and cold air, dazzling brighter than stars in the sunlight. Even the air around the Cloth shimmered with tiny ice crystals.
The divinity and soul power within Li Yu surged like a tide, all converting into basic attributes.
The Kryptonian Bloodline, recently plundered from the DC Universe, was fully activated under the radiation of the yellow sun, unleashing the effect of a tenfold increase in attributes without reservation!
Boom!
As Li Yu ignited his Cosmo, the formidable energy transformed into a golden pillar of light that pierced the heavens and earth, completely engulfing Hades's Castle.
Blazing flames ascended on the outer layer of the light pillar, yet within those flames, Absolute Zero, capable of freezing time and space, was concealed. The Hades Barrier trembled slightly under these two extreme forces.
Purple-gold Chaos Lightning leaped and exploded around him, each bolt carrying the furious will to annihilate planets.
Ice, lightning, and sunlight—three ultimate powers—achieved perfect balance within him, exuding a pressure that made even gods feel a chill.
Thanatos, God of Death, and Hypnos, God of Sleep, trapped within the Tenbu Hōrin, instantly gaped, their pupils shrinking to pinpricks.
In their ancient memories, only Father Zeus could possess such terrifying power!
Pandora, in Hades's Castle's temple, saw this scene through a scrying spell, her body trembling uncontrollably.
The current Li Yu was several times stronger than when she encountered him in the Sanctuary. That overwhelming power left her utterly devoid of any will to resist.
She rushed towards the Hades statue, kneeling beneath it, her voice choked with sobs.
"Lord Hades, take me back to the Underworld!"
The statue's eyes suddenly glowed with an eerie green light, and a black vortex appeared at Pandora's feet, instantly sweeping her into the Underworld, saving her from the fate of being crushed by the pressure.
The Three Giants of the Underworld, who had just defeated six Gold Saints, suddenly felt this overwhelming pressure descending from above.
Their Surplices trembled, and their pupils instantly shrank to pinpricks.
A fear originating from the depths of their souls gripped their hearts tightly.
This was the Specters' instinctive fear, etched into their bloodline, when facing a natural predator.
The Terrestrial Specters in Death Forest had long forgotten to attack the Bronze Five. Their bodies trembled violently, lacking even the courage to look up at the sky.
The Gold Saints and the Bronze Five also stopped their actions, gazing at Li Yu in the sky with eyes that worshipped a god.
Camus looked at the evolved Aquarius Cloth on Li Yu, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He could clearly sense that this Cloth, which once resonated with him, no longer responded to his summons, emanating a strange and powerful aura, having completely acknowledged Li Yu as its master.
The Twin Gods, temporarily trapped by the Tenbu Hōrin, for the first time shed their disdain, revealing solemnity and astonishment.
They could clearly feel the unimaginably destructive energy above them, making even the circulation of their divine power sluggish.
The two Twin Gods couldn't help but exclaim, "What a magnificent power this is!"
Li Yu hovered in mid-air, his gaze like lightning, coldly looking down at the trapped Twin Gods. His voice, like a thunderclap from the nine heavens, echoed throughout Hades's Castle.
"Thanatos, God of Death, Hypnos, God of Sleep, you have openly violated the gods' oath, invaded the earth with divine power, unleashed divine calamities, and harmed innocent lives."
He paused, his tone growing even colder.
"Today, your doomsday has arrived! I sentence you to death!"
Only then did the Twin Gods awaken from their stupor. Li Yu's target was not Hades's Castle at all, but the two of them!
Even though they were unwilling to believe that a human could kill a god, the bone-deep fear still made them shriek.
"Lord Hades, save me!"
"Hmph!"
A suffocatingly vast Cosmo directly broke through the boundary between the Underworld and Human Realm, enveloping Hades's Castle like a dark cloud.
Hades's voice, filled with endless majesty and fury, exploded directly in everyone's minds.
"Li Yu, how dare you?"
Li Yu completely ignored Hades's threat.
His dark eyes were as deep as a cosmic black hole, yet within them burned a battle intent capable of incinerating everything.
The supreme pressure, like a tangible sky, crashed down, heavily pressing upon the entire Hades's Castle, causing the black rocks on the ground to crack inch by inch.
He extended his right hand and said faintly.
"Spear, come!"
"Om!"
The spear of longinus broke through the spatial barrier, appearing slowly before Li Yu with a low hum.
He reached out and grasped the shaft. The powerful world-destroying lightning and solar power, like two giant dragons, surged wildly into the spear body!
The sky had, at some point, become eerie. Half of it was sealed by dark clouds, with lightning and thunder, while the other half was clear, with golden sunlight pouring down like a waterfall.
Endless lightning and sunlight surged wildly into the spear of longinus through the spatialrift!
"Crack!"
As the two powerful energies injected, the spear of longinus completely shed its solid form, transforming in Li Yu's hand into a world-destroying lightning spear, golden-purple all over, continuously leaping like a dragon-python, its tip gleaming with a light as dazzling as the sun.
"Hades, watch closely. If your hand dares to reach out of the Underworld again, they will be your fate!"
Li Yu threw the god-slaying spear in his hand with all his might!
The moment it left his hand, the space of the entire Hades's Castle was instantly frozen by Absolute Zero. Only this god-slaying spear could move swiftly through the frozen space, like a golden-purple lightning bolt, heading straight for the Twin Gods.
The Twin Gods tried to dodge, but found themselves like insects caught in a spiderweb, their bodies firmly bound by the frozen space, making every step arduous!
"Boom!"
The golden-purple light, as if teleporting, appeared precisely before Thanatos.
Among the Twin Gods, the God of Death was stronger. Though only a secondary god, he was already close to the power of a main god. Li Yu chose to strike him first!
Even with his Divine Cloth protecting Thanatos, it was as fragile as foam before the spear of longinus.
The spear tip instantly pierced through the Divine Cloth, entering his chest and exiting his back. The spear body expanded wildly within him, spreading like vines along his heart and blood vessels, greedily plundering his divine power and flesh!
Prompts kept popping up before Li Yu's eyes.
[Divinity + 1!]
[Divinity + 1!]
[Divinity + 1!]
In just a few breaths, Li Yu had acquired ten points of divinity from Thanatos!
Even so, Thanatos was not completely dead. A large amount of golden divine blood flowed from his mouth, his eyes filled with extreme horror, struggling and roaring.
"Blasphemer! Lord Hades, he is a blasphemer!"
The power of Hades suddenly descended. The area around Hades's Castle was instantly swallowed by darkness, and a pair of huge golden eyes emerged from the darkness, coldly watching Li Yu.
Hades's voice, filled with threat and unwillingness, directly resounded in Li Yu's mind.
"Li Yu, by treading the path of a blasphemer, you are seeking your own death! This world, after all, belongs to us Olympian Gods!"
"You won't be triumphant for long. Soon I will unleash the Eternal Eclipse. When you reach the Underworld, you will regret what you did today!"
The darkness suddenly dispersed. Hades's Castle, along with the still-alive Thanatos, Hypnos, and the remaining Specters, all vanished without a trace, leaving only a bottomless, enormous void where it once stood.
The entrance to the Underworld disappeared without a trace.
The God of Death used his remaining divine power to forcibly take the entire Hades's Castle back to the Underworld, simultaneously sealing the entrances between the Underworld and Human Realm. This was clearly a declaration of non-engagement, avoiding battle!
Li Yu reached out and retrieved the spear of longinus. The golden-purple light on the spear body gradually receded, reverting to the ancient long spear resembling a dead tree.
Eternal Eclipse, huh?
The nine planets of the solar system aligning, forever shrouding the earth in darkness.
It seems a trip to the Underworld is, after all, unavoidable.
Once the Eternal Eclipse occurs, the Saints will still have to go to the Underworld, attempting to break through the Wall of Sighs and enter Elysium.
By then, driven by the true spirit within his soul, Li Yu wondered if he would burn everything for the goddess.
He didn't have much time left. Li Yu had to go to the Bleach World as soon as possible to try and unbind himself from the true spirit.
