Her voice was firm, but there was tension in her eyes. \"Now move. We need to hurry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo frowned. \"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amelia and the others were attacked by Ancient Dragons,\" she said in a clipped tone. \"They’ve sealed the clone you sent with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo’s eyes widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Ancient Dragons had disappeared from their home base not long ago. Now, it seemed like they were all moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They sealed my clone because they didn’t want to fight the Deathbounds,’ Neo thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The retired Grim Reapers would have intervened if the Ancient Dragons openly attacked a Reaper like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Still... to think they’re moving so openly.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Do they know Hades is dead?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo closed his eyes for a moment, trying to reconnect to his clone, but the connection refused to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clicked his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t forget your promise with me, Hargraves,\" a cold voice interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It came from nowhere and everywhere at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice of Space Elementals echoed through the air, calm but heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Space, this isn’t the time for that,\" the Supreme of Water said, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For me, it is,\" the voice replied. \"My loved one is just as important to me as yours is to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo clenched his jaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t deny the truth in those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had made a promise to the Supreme of Space. But if he kept that promise, he would be abandoning Amelia and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry, Space,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward the control panel of the ship and started guiding it toward Amelia’s location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He half-expected Space to argue, and resist his choice. But instead, there was silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence was worse than anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo tightened his grip on the controls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll send my clone to the leader of the Forgotten Suns,\" he said, trying to fill the silence. \"If I take over control of it, it’ll be as strong as me. You don’t need to worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, there was no answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Space Elementals didn’t speak again. Their presence faded into the background like a cold wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo exhaled and rubbed his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, there was his pride, and the promise he had made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other, the lives of his friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The choice wasn’t hard, but it still hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would save his friends, even if it meant breaking his word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme of Water turned to him. \"Were you fighting Zeus?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression shifted slightly. Her voice echoed in his mind, calm but sharp.Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo didn’t answer right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked again through telepathy,Did Zeus attack you because he thought you were the Devil of Cruelty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo’s eyes widened a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected her to know that name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to look at her and gave a small nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange,her voice whispered again in his mind.Who told Zeus about the Devil of Cruelty, and that you could be him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her question made him frown too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t thought about that yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone had to tell Zeus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head, pushing the thought aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget that for now,\" he said quietly. \"Tell me about the Ancient Dragons that attacked Amelia and the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>",1207,"2026-05-30T08:01:16.233Z","2026-06-01T04:30:42.299Z",1,"novelbin.me","05ef55164bd87aa0995202a19ad094fd486154bcec133fb880975e70394cf3f6","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-746","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-744",839,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-cover.jpg"]
