Chapter 50

The one who blocked Hades's strike was none other than anyone else—it was the Deva Path of the Six Paths, Pain.

The instant Konan was sealed off, Lin Cheng directly teleported the Deva Path over, using Shinra Tensei to repel everything around him, easily keeping Konan safe.

"How could this be?!"

The flashy young man Lu Xi Luo Si swallowed a gulp subconsciously at the scene before him.

Just how terrifyingly powerful his own president Hades was, he, as a core member of the Devil's Heart, knew all too well—even a casual strike from him was something almost no one among the entire Seven Fiends of Purgatory could take head-on.

Let alone now, taking it on without a single scratch.

"What exactly happened just now?"

"Someone actually took the president's Amaterasu: Twenty-Eight Styles unscathed."

Ultear looked at the scene before her, her expression equally solemn.

'And...'

'That person's eyes—so bizarre.'

Looking at the Deva Path's eyes, the parts that should have been sclera were all occupied by an eerie dark purple.

Surrounding the pupils were ring upon ring of patterns.

Just a single direct glance made one feel an uncontrollable chill from deep within.

Ultear felt that today's matter might not end so simply.

"Interesting."

"And who are you?"

Hades crossed his arms over his chest, not in any hurry to continue his attack.

Hades possessed absolute confidence in himself.

Even though the figure who had appeared before him, along with those eyes that looked bizarre at first glance, both signified that the opponent was no easy matter.

"Deva Path, Pain."

The Deva Path's reply was equally concise.

After finishing his self-introduction, the Deva Path slightly raised his palm, swept his gaze—which others found extremely bizarre—around the area once, and said: "Shinra Tensei."

The next instant, everyone could clearly see that, taking Konan and Pain as the origin point, the surrounding space silently became instantly covered in dense, fine cracks.

Then, the space shattered, revealing a hollow world behind it that was darker and more profound than a black hole.

Watching the moment the space shattered, even Hades's expression could not help but become solemn.

"Three Pillar Gods."

In the instant before the shattering space reached the crowd, Hades used terrifying magic power to construct three pillar-shaped magic circles, firmly restraining the Shinra Tensei unleashed by the Deva Path.

This was the defensive magic circle Makarov had once used against Hades in the original work, possessing extremely strong defensive power; used by Hades now, its defensive power was only stronger than the original version, not weaker.

'BANG!!!!'

The collision between the Three Pillar Gods and Shinra Tensei produced no sound at all.

But at the instant the Three Pillar Gods and Shinra Tensei collided, everyone present felt as if their very spirit, even their soul, had been forcefully hammered by an invisible great hammer.
