He glanced at Neo, and spoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You shouldn't use anything reckless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo tilted his head. \"...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm saying,\" Yaleth said, \"don't try to use your River of Time to regress. It won't work anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've officially participated in an interplanetary battle, and your combat strength has crossed beyond Stage-3. The crutch that Time has been giving you until now has been taken away. You should be able to feel that too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already had a bad relation with Time Elementals, so they haven't bothered to tell him they were taking away his regression ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Neo felt no different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed he could regress like normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there had to be a reason why Yaleth warned him. He decided to heed to the Outer God's warning and not use abilities that allowed him to move through time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A split second later, the universe responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fracture tore open just beyond Jupiter, wide and deep, spilling colors that didn't belong to mortal sight. Through it, they came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velgrath, the Weaver of Void-Silk, descended first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His many arms spun silent webs of dark threads that pulled starlight into strange shapes around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyeless gaze settled onto Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Myzrul followed, wings carrying scattered constellations across his massive body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His horns framed a burning crown of suns, and in his presence, the orbits of nearby asteroids shifted without a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came Vaedrex, the Maw of Silence. A colossal shadow rippling with rings of teeth, he dragged with him a suffocating darkness that swallowed even the solar light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lastly, Lurial, the Clockwork Bloom, unfolded her mechanical petals in a slow rhythm. Time warped around her with each motion, making the stars nearby flicker and stutter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Outer Gods' presence made reality itself seem fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo remained still. So did Yaleth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gods watched him. Their gazes were trying to gauge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long breath, neither side moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood the threat immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo's aura was sharp, heavy, and filled with scent of Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't raw power alone that gave the Outer Gods a grim feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his gaze, his absolute confidence in facing four Outer Gods alone that gave them a pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velgrath's arms paused mid-weave. Myzrul's wings shifted subtly, cautious. Vaedrex's abyss churned a little faster. Lurial's petals clicked into a new formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were old, older than many stars, and they knew the weight of 'Divinities' when they saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divinities were the energies Gods created at Stage-4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Outer Gods could do so from Stage-1, and it was what made them fearsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This human was clearly only Stage-2 but the strength he radiated said he was far stronger, and the Divinities radiating off him made it clear he was an Outer God himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, they remained composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could sense his strengths—yes—but also the limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was alone, and far younger than them. Any technique he learned from a backward planet like Earth could not be compared to theirs who had lived for millions of years and seen the Cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were not reckless either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless they were sure of their victory, they would not foolishly engage in war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quiet calculations unfolded between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many divinities had this human had? What was their rarity? Has he had access to Universal Codex System?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he achieved Spirit Fusion Transformation with his true soul spirit already?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People who could break the Gene Limit of their planet weren't rare. Fusing with a Sacred Treasure was enough to do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that also meant, this human had conquered another world – or his own world – and taken the Sacred Treasure for himself, then used it to break his gene limit to reach a rank that was higher than his world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that alone made the Outer Gods wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, confidence radiated from them like a second sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velgrath shifted first, his body rippling through folds of void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You called us,\" he said, voice deep and threaded with many echoes. \"You demanded to meet us. We are here. Tell us—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Myzrul's wings blazed brighter. \"—are you prepared to go to war against us, O Young God?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The solar system itself seemed to shrink under the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo stared at them. His hand rested lightly on the hilt of Obitus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"War?\" Neo said in a cold tone. \"Haven't we been at war already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, and though he moved only a few feet, space creaked under his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My planet has suffered for centuries,\" Neo said. \"Because of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Outer Gods exchanged glances—or their equivalent of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suffering is the language of existence. Your pain is not unique. Countless worlds have screamed, and yours was but one among infinite.\" Lurial said while her gears spun lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo's eyes stayed cold. \"And that justifies it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is not about justification,\" Myzrul said, wings brushing light into patterns that meant nothing and everything. \"It is about inevitability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough of this farce.\" Velgrath folded one arm back into the void and said, \"You are strong, O Young God. But you are still one man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no chance of your victory. Give us the True Spirit Weapons we desire, and we will let you walk away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alone?\" Neo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo's aura rose sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shadows stretched as he used Intent to complete his Incantations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beneath Neo, the space darkened, and a tidal wave of shadows rose without sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three thousand shapes of shadow monsters slithered into existence. Their eyes glowed faintly, and their bodies shifted between as if they had no physical form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the weakest among them radiated Stage-2 strength. Fifteen of them stood taller, stronger, their auras marking them as Stage-3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And finally, the Firmaments came out of the Cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faces of Outer Gods rapidly shifted as they sensed the powerful 'Divinities'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come, Outer Gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo drew Obitus with a clean soundless motion, and pointed the blade at the gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of escaping while leaving his world behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while it was Arthur's fate to fight these eldritch beings, this tragedy had continued for long enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Neo would break the shackles binding his world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is time you pay the price of what you've done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1105,"2026-05-30T08:01:09.214Z","2026-06-01T04:30:42.299Z",1,"novelbin.me","956d9beaaf01b603aa2ac5b1b52a192d61670e3e864906ed375e98b2556f1a1f","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-549","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-547",839,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-cover.jpg"]
