Chapter 1879
Hades' Time Travel 2
After Hades received the body's memories, he realized that this body was given to him by the original owner.
The original owner really didn't want to play the game of "hero saves the damsel in distress" or "defeat this person and that person to save the world" with a bunch of idiots.
Therefore, upon sensing the divine soul that shared the same origin as him, he readily relinquished his body to Hades.
He then went to sleep without worry.
There's no way around it, the underworld is just too busy.
Especially in the last century, two wars that affected the entire world have made hell overcrowded, and the workload of hell workers is ridiculously heavy.
As the boss of Hell, the original owner spent 24 hours a day reviewing documents and hadn't slept for decades.
Now that someone has replaced him, he immediately quit.
Hades: -_-||.
Hades thought the previous world was bizarre enough, and this world was no less so.
Although gods have many followers and are granted power by them, even if mortals possess the power of gods, they cannot kill them.
But can the so-called Saints of this world actually do that?!
There are also Specters, Marine Generals, Celestial Generals...
What left Hades speechless was that Athena in this world was entangled with a human.
You should know that in their world, Athena is a famous virgin goddess who has vowed to keep her body pure and not have relations with any man.
Hades shook his head and sighed, then put Athena and her Saints aside.
What interests him most right now is the power system of this world: the human microcosm!
Hades devoted all his time outside of reviewing official documents to studying the microcosm, and soon mastered it completely.
The concept of "mini-cosmos" sounds grand and mysterious, but its essence and intensity are far inferior to Hades' original divine power.
Using his original power, he easily awakened his eighth sense of cosmos, and then his ninth sense.
If this ninth sense, also known as Amala consciousness, weren't the ultimate realm in this world, with no higher realms, he could have developed a tenth sense.
Hades was looking through the files when Hypnos, the god of sleep, and his twin brother Thanatos entered together.
They were wearing armor, which looked really cool.
Hades was tempted; these so-called battle suits were really good-looking and cool. When he returned to his own world, he would also get one for himself and the gods of the underworld.
"Your Majesty, Athena has been reborn as a human once again," Thanatos reported to Hades.
Hades raised an eyebrow: "It hasn't even been a hundred years, has it?"
Hypnos: "Perhaps Athena herself has little power left, and she is eager to seize more power."
Although Athena is the chief goddess, she is different from Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.
The last three are the main gods of the rules. As long as the sky, the ocean, and hell exist, their divine power will never perish.
But Athena is different; she still needs to rely on human faith.
Nowadays, humans have little faith in gods, and their divine power is naturally gradually disappearing.
In order to avoid falling into a permanent slumber, Athena must obtain more divine power.
This is the truth behind the so-called war of gods.
Those Saints thought they were fighting to protect the earth, but little did they know that it was just an excuse Athena used to fool them.
Neither Hades, Poseidon, nor Zeus had any intention of conquering the earth.
The sky is above the earth, covering the earth, which can be considered as occupying the earth, right?
Poseidon hadn't even fully taken ownership of the ocean from the primordial gods, so how could he have any intention of conquering the earth?
As for the underworld? Dealing with a bunch of ghosts every day is enough to keep them occupied; they have no energy left to think about anything else.
Hades scoffed, "Many humans these days don't believe in gods anymore, do they?"
The twin deities nodded in unison.
Hades smirked: "Then the earth doesn't need a goddess anymore."
The twins' eyes lit up. Did their emperor intend to completely destroy Athena?
That's wonderful!
They've disliked this woman who likes to cause trouble for a long time.
The twins said, "Your Majesty, we and all 108 Specters are at your command and ready to fight at any time."
Hades: "That's not necessary. The operation of Hell depends entirely on you."
All 108 Specters are very busy.
They are not like the Saint Seiya warriors who are idle and only think about fighting all day long.
The Specters all have jobs; the judgment of the dead cannot be done without them.
Hades remembered that many of the Saints' souls were still in Hell.
Because they are protected by Athena's divine power, they live quite comfortably in Hell, and no one bothers them.
But now, with war about to begin between the two sides, these people can no longer remain in the underworld.
Thanatos: "Those Pegasus guys have already followed Athena's reincarnation, but the Gold Saints are still stuck in the Underworld."
Hades: "Bring them to me."
Thanatos: "Your Majesty wants them to switch their allegiance to you? That's a bit difficult."
Hades: "I will not do such a futile thing. Instead, I will strip them of the power that belongs to Athena and cast them into the cycle of reincarnation."
The twins understood what Hades meant.
Because of Athena's protective power, these Saints, even if reincarnated, will still become Saints again, and may even regain their memories from their previous lives.
Such souls are a nuisance to the underworld.
But the Specters had no way to deal with them and could only let them reincarnate according to the procedure.
They watched helplessly as their reincarnations became enemies of the underworld.
Thanatos and Hypnos were also unable to remove that power.
Hades, as the King of the Underworld, could strip Athena of her power, but it would be quite troublesome for the original owner of this body, so she wouldn't take action.
Hades now possesses the consciousness of Amara and even greater divine power, far surpassing Athena of this world.
Stripping the Saints of Athena's power would be a piece of cake.
Not long after, Minos led several Saints into Hades' palace.
Hades' gaze fell on the two unfamiliar faces.
Minos quickly introduced them to Hades: "Your Majesty, this is Aiolos, the Gold Saint of Sagittarius, and this is Shion, the Gold Saint of Aries, who is also the Pope of the current Athena Sanctuary. They were both killed by Saga, the Gold Saint of Gemini."
Minos chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, that Saga is determined to kill Athena's reincarnation. We can use him."
Hades nodded: "If you have the chance, you can get close to him and give him some support."
Shion and Aiolos had been keeping their heads down, appearing submissive, but upon hearing Yanagi's words, Aiolos couldn't help but raise his head. (End of Chapter)
