EBE Chapter 3823 Threat
Chapter 3823 Threat
"A temporary relocation? So it's been temporary until now? You can't even fool three kids with that." The Underworld Emperor sneered, staring coldly at the group. "If I were still in prison, I probably would never have known about this."
Knowing he was in the wrong, Ajax only wanted to appease the Underworld Emperor, so he said, "Underworld Emperor, this was not the original intention of the God Clan. Moving the Underworld Clan into the God Realm was also to preserve the Underworld Clan."
"Hmph! If you hadn't shifted the Netherworld vortex, why would my people have been forced to migrate?"
A young member of the divine race standing beside Ajax, already displeased by the Hades Emperor's insolent words, sneered and said, "Hades Emperor, so what if it was us, the divine race, who did this? The victor is king, the loser is villain; it's always been this way. What more do you want now?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
The Underworld Emperor laughed loudly, "The victor is king, the loser is villain? Interesting! If I'm not convinced, I'd like to fight again. What do you think?"
Ajax's expression changed slightly, his face becoming solemn, and divine power surged around him as he warned in a deep voice, "Emperor of the Underworld, please be careful with your words."
"Listen carefully. The Netherworld Vortex can remain in the God Realm, but I have three conditions. First, I want you to break the seal on the Netherworld. Second, I want you to release the restrictions on the Netherworld Vortex and let all the power of the Netherworld's source flow back into the Netherworld. Third, my people and I must all return to the Netherworld. If you do not agree to these three points, then let us fight."
Ajax listened to Hades' words with a solemn expression and said, "Hades, this matter is of great importance, and I cannot make a decision on my own. Please give us some time."
"Alright, then take my words back and discuss them properly. Come back to me when you've reached a conclusion."
The Underworld Emperor chuckled inwardly upon hearing this.
He had long known that the gods would choose to stall for time, and said coldly, "Go, your time is running out."
Ajax frowned slightly as he listened to the warning in Hades's words, sensing that something was amiss.
It was as if the Underworld Emperor was warning him something.
Seeing that Hades was resolute, Ajax did not want to provoke him into doing anything rash, so he led everyone back to the outskirts of Black Isle.
The members of the God Clan quickly gathered around.
"What did the Underworld Emperor say?"
A young god, his face contorted with anger, repeated the conditions that the Underworld Emperor had just proposed.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding members of the divine race were instantly enraged.
"Who does he think he is? None of these conditions are acceptable! We won the battle back then. If we could defeat the Underworld once, we can defeat it a second time..."
"Shut up!"
Ajax shouted a stern rebuke to stop them.
The young member of the divine race immediately fell silent, daring not to speak further.
"Elder, what do you think should be done about this?"
"The Underworld Emperor is quite powerful, and he has already taken control of the Underworld Vortex. If he really goes all in and detonates the Underworld Vortex at the cost of his life, the God Realm will also be affected."
Ajax pondered for a moment, his expression growing even more serious, and said, "Don't rush, it hasn't come to that yet. Judging from the Hades' behavior, he may not really want to perish with us. Let's negotiate with him slowly, and I believe he will make concessions."
"You all stay here and keep watch. I'm going back to the central temple to report the situation to the royal family in person."
"Yes."
Ajax immediately brought the news back to the Central Divine Court, leaving a group of gods to guard the Black Isle.
In his view, the Underworld Emperor was also unwilling to sacrifice the entire Underworld Clan and the God Clan to the death.
For now, we can stall and wait for things to change, and slowly negotiate with the Underworld Emperor.
If negotiations fail, it won't be easy for the Underworld Emperor to achieve a desperate, all-or-nothing outcome by gathering the power of the entire divine race.
But for some reason, Ajax still felt uneasy.
The Underworld Emperor is not stupid.
He must have already anticipated the gods' response.
So what will Hades do next?
……
Underworld.
The outer perimeter of the Valley of Sinking Souls.
Two weeks ago, Soul Valley was attacked by the God of the Underworld. Even though it turned out to be a false alarm, the God's Chosen Ones strengthened the defenses around Soul Valley, doubling the number of guards.
For some reason, Calvin, who was in charge of guarding Soul Valley today, had a bad feeling.
Could it be that he's run into some bad luck again?
Calvin shuddered involuntarily and looked up into the distance.
Upon seeing this, Calvin's heart began to pound wildly. He instinctively rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen wrong.
You read that right.
In the distance, a dark cloud of mist could be seen rapidly approaching the entrance to the Valley of Sinking Souls.
what?
Hades?
again!
Several of the chosen ones nearby also noticed the approaching undead mist in the distance and exchanged glances.
No one speaks.
run!
Without any hesitation, Calvin immediately activated the teleportation portal and fled.
We tried it last time, and we couldn't even defeat more than ten elders and hundreds of eighth-tier battle spirits. What can they possibly do against this little bit of trash?
Led by Calvin, the other chosen ones around him quickly activated the teleportation channel.
Seeing how quickly Calvin and his group ran, Fang Heng thought to himself that they were quite self-disciplined. He then walked out of the black mist with Rodney and arrived at the sacred barrier outside the Valley of Souls.
"This time, we won't need to go through all that trouble."
Fang Heng looked at the sacred barrier blocking his way, raised his hand and gently tapped the barrier.
"call out!"
The three-element fusion spiral energy flew out from the fingertips, emitting a loud buzzing sound in the air, instantly piercing through space and striking the sacred barrier.
"boom!!"
The sacred barrier surrounding the Valley of Sinking Souls trembled violently, and countless cracks spread wildly outwards from the point where the spiral energy landed, before finally shattering completely with a loud bang after half a second!
A myriad of sacred rays of light fell from the sky.
Rodney looked at the scene before him, and for a moment his breathing became heavy.
"Let's go."
Fang Heng spoke calmly, then stepped into the Valley of Sinking Souls.
……
A world of faith.
Calvin and his group hurriedly returned to the world from the underworld and appeared in the teleportation hall, still looking shaken.
Several priests guarding the underworld teleportation passage saw Calvin and his companions looking utterly bewildered again and quickly stepped forward to help them up, asking, "What happened again? Or is it the God of the Underworld?"
"Yes, we've encountered Hades again."
The priest immediately ordered his men to inform the elders.
The elder of the Chosen Ones in charge of the teleportation hall listened with some doubt and muttered to himself, "The God of the Underworld has appeared at the entrance of the Valley of Sinking Souls several times in the past few days. Is it because something unusual has happened in the Valley of Sinking Souls? Could the God of the Underworld have been attracted here?"
Several priests nearby nodded slightly in agreement, saying, "Very likely."
Calvin's face darkened.
He encountered Hades twice in a row, and both times it just so happened that he was the one who ran into him.
He doesn't plan to do this guard duty anymore.
This is risking your life.
Just as he was pondering this, suddenly, the heavy hum of a holy bell resounded throughout the entire teleportation temple. (End of Chapter)
