How was Percival able to see his Fate when no one could?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ignored the thought. It was not important at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure I'm revived?\" he asked Percival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I was able to momentarily pull your soul here since the barrier between the Layers was weakened after the 'illusion' with you died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your consciousness will soon be pulled back to your body,\" Percival explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A plan started to form in Neo's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each Layer had a 'Pillar' that supported the existence of Tartarus' Nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would need to eliminate all Pillars to end the Nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo told Percival about their current situation on Layer 5. They had encountered Hades, or someone who was Hades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival seemed to have lost all hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said in Layer 5, multiple paths were created by Goddess Artemis' Blessing when you tried to locate the World Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You followed one of the paths, and there you found Hades. Doesn't that mean…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, that's the confusing part. If the one we met is Hades, does it mean other subconscious minds' Nightmare have Hades too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Neo was sure the 'Hades' they met was one of the Pillars of Layer 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that his true....\" Percival forced the words out of his mouth. \"We can't defeat even a single Hades. Even if you could somehow manage that, you will still need to defeat the other Pillars – Hades – on Layer 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After that, you need to eliminate Pillars on other Layers too. The Pillars on other Layers might not be Hades, but they will be someone powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no way you can defeat so many enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's impossible to destroy this Nightmare.\" Percival stared at the sky with an empty gaze. \"Tartarus is impossible to destroy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had lost all hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo did not blame him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were crushed by Hades, one of the Pillars of Layer 5. Layer 5 still had more Pillars. So did other Layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, can you guarantee that the Great Disasters are with Tartarus?\" Neo suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am,\" Percival nodded. \"Great Disasters got their name due to their violent actions that killed many in Tartarus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All actions of the Great Disasters led to the loss of great military power that could've been used to empower the Grand Expedition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judging by the intel I collected while I was in the world of Fate threads, the Great Disasters are Tartarus' knights.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival explained in more detail,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tartarus created a complex Nightmare world. In return, it can't interfere directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if the world is so complex that it's impossible to destroy, there was still a chance someone could pose a danger to Tartarus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why it must've joined hands with the Great Disasters. Tartarus can order them to move and attack potential threats. This way, Tartarus gets a direct way to interfere with the Nightmare World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo could feel the pull towards his physical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to explain his plan to Percival quickly before he was forced to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will handle Layer 2, Layer 3, Layer 4, and Layer 5. You take care of Layer 1.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said I will defeat the Pillars that support Layer 2 to Layer 5. But I can't come to the real world, so you need to take care of Layer 1 yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were so baffling that Percival had no reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was defeated by a single Pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now he was saying he would defeat all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can't defeat them all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, don't be so pessimistic.\" Neo smiled faintly. \"Besides, since when did the great Percival become a coward like this? I thought he could do everything he put his mind to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn't the time for jokes, Neo. We can't… There is no way we can defeat Tartarus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry. I have a plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\" Neo nodded. \"The plan is to beat the shit out of them, and win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival heard Sunshine chuckle. The worst part was Percival himself smiled at that stupid joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really have a plan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would like to say yes, but you know as much as I do about the Pillars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since we have zero information, I can only improvise along the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer absurdity of Neo's statement gave Percival a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was something about Neo that instilled calmness and confidence in Percival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way he spoke, the way he carried himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It told Percival he could trust Neo to do what he had said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I….\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival opened his mouth but stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I would deal with Layer 1 Pillar.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not speak his thoughts out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he failed after saying he could do that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burden of millions of lives was crushing Percival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it's too much for you, then it's fine. You don't need to get caught up in this. You are in Layer 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that Layer is in the real world, it's highly possible Tartarus cannot stop you from leaving anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can just leave us behind and go back,\" Neo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival froze when he heard his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bit his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dammit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly punched the tree's bark hard enough that his hands bled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain brought much-needed clarity to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not leaving you guys behind. If you fail, then we all fail together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo could see Percival was still afraid. However, he didn't point it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled faintly and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo's body started to disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as his consciousness had completely left Layer 1, he heard Percival speak,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will try to guide you. I won't promise that it will be of much help, but it should be a lot better. Expect some good luck to follow you soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo's consciousness blanked for an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes snapped open. A quick glance of his surroundings told him he was back in Tyr's subconscious mind Nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera was holding the corpse of Ava.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hades was frowning as he stared at the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth was breathing heavily and covered in sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo apologized in his mind before he grabbed Elizabeth's hand without permission and peered into her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked her memories to see what had happened after he died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth did not resist, which allowed him to see the memories easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Neo died, Elizabeth turned back time multiple times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not the first time Neo's consciousness came back. It was just that he could not recall previous timelines since time was turned back multiple times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time Elizabeth rewound time, Hades killed Neo and took his blessings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this timeline, Ava sacrificed herself to save Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This was a miscalculation,\" Hades said. \"I suppose another retry would not hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time elementals flared around Hades. He was about to turn back time when suddenly Elizabeth tapped into her Avatar state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took titanic amounts of World Energy from Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her presence swelled, and space started to crack around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She used her Concept of Water, Tyrant, and took hold of the River of Time Hades was about to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hades looked more impressed than shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The River of Time could be controlled by Water Users. It was a result of Elemental Clash. The one with higher mastery and rank would win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, winning against Hades in an Elemental Clash was nigh impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was amused Elizabeth could do it, even if only for a few moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry!\" she said, gritting her teeth. \"I can't stop him for long. Do whatever you can, but make him divert his attention from his River of Time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zera wasted no time and deployed her World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Void Elementals started to burst forth into existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beelzebub, stop Ava's time,\" Neo shouted as he stored the corpse in his Shadow Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Ava was a Pillar of Layer 2, she had not known about that. She lived her life as Kane's daughter and sacrificed herself to protect Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was how the Nightmare was created. No 'illusion' knew they were fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo used Pseudo-Gap and appeared behind Hades in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed Hades' neck. Hades did not resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever you are doing is not going to work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We will see about that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo used the Tyrant Concept he copied during his weeks-long training with Elizabeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Concept mastery was still low, which was why he needed physical contact with the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Concept Tyrant allowed him to interact with Hades' River of Time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you going to help the woman to stop me from going back in time?\" Hades said, amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not stop Neo or Zera, who was preparing a gargantuan Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, this will make you unable to use River of Time altogether.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo used Aqua Nihil, his own Concept of Water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It erased the River of Time that was under Hades' control, and for the first time, Hades was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>",1508,"2026-05-30T08:00:57.451Z","2026-06-01T04:30:42.299Z",1,"novelbin.me","4e19ac693fcf3ca54e27af769c7566a081026f4d66b0d13aa2dbd1944b793290","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-464","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-462",839,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-cover.jpg"]
