Chapter 51

His entire consciousness was starting to blur.

Even the surrounding space seemed to tremble for a moment, as if unable to bear the collision between the Three Pillar God and the Shinra Tensei.

Crack, crack.

It did not hold for long.

At this moment, the incomparably sturdy Three Pillar God began to show one after another extremely fine and densely packed cracks, and in just a moment, they nearly covered the entire Three Pillar God.

"Good, very good!"

Hades burst into laughter and said, "It has been a long time since this old man has had a proper fight with anyone."

"Today, I have, after a long absence, felt that little bit of excitement once more."

As his words fell, the magic power within Hades's body began to boil completely, like a volcano slumbering at the bottom of the sea for countless years—once it erupted, nothing could stop it.

"Dark Wave."

Hades pressed his palms together, and the wildly boiling magic power within his body seemed to find an outlet, surging out in a frenzy.

A darkness capable of devouring light gathered before Hades.

Then it slammed straight into the Shinra Tensei that was fiercely locked in combat with the Three Pillar God.

"Shinra Tensei."

After seeing Hades's move, Pain had no hesitation whatsoever and immediately used Shinra Tensei once again.

Winds rose and clouds surged in the sky.

Wave after wave of soundless rumbling made people feel a heaviness deep in their souls.

"Damn it, are you all still watching the show over there?"

"I'm about to be unable to hold on—hurry up and reinforce the hull for me!"

Ultear, who had been frantically using Arc of Time to stabilize the hull since the very beginning, finally could not hold on any longer.

Looking at her companions who had been standing by watching the show the whole time, she roared at them loudly.

But this was also perfectly normal.

Although Ultear's strength was quite impressive, compared to Pain and Hades, who had already reached A-Class Two-Star, she was still more than one tier behind.

Even merely withstanding the aftershocks of the collision between Hades and Pain was already beyond her ability.

In less than ten seconds, Ultear had already repaired the magical airship over a hundred times, and the magic power within her body was on the verge of running dry—it was truly terrifying.

Yet in the next second, Hades's Dark Wave collided with Pain's second Shinra Tensei.
