Chapter 361: Persuade Hades, plot to seize the Underworld King's position, and abduct the Underworld Queen

Luode had a brainwave, thinking of the Underworld King Hades from another world—he was drop-dead handsome.

Of course, the Marvel world should also have a Hades—after all Zeus has shown up, so there's no reason not to have a Hades—but the Marvel world's Hades, Luode thinks better not! That world's Zeus is just a goofball, and frankly his strength isn't necessarily that strong, since among all the gods it's already acknowledged that Odin is the strongest.

But the Hades before me is stronger than my Odin after I powered him up—this world's Hades is the Hades of ancient Greek mythology, and his combat power is beyond question.

"I kind of get what you mean—you want to take me to another world, right? I should have realized earlier, you, like the Norse war god Tyr, also have the ability to travel between worlds." Hades pondered, nodded, and spoke.

The Tyr of the Norse world possesses the ability to carry out duties in various divine realms, and not long ago he even visited their Greece once, receiving a warm welcome from the King of Gods Zeus.

This mysterious and powerful Eastern God-King before me should also possess the same power.

"You guessed right, but my abilities are somewhat greater than Tyr's—I can help you become more handsome, charming and dashing, and gain greater strength, but you must repay me." Luode said.

"Go ahead—if you can bring my beloved back to my side and have her willingly accept me, I'm willing to do anything." Hades looked at Luode, excitedly speaking.

"In the future I will go to that world once; you will obtain the Underworld King's body, while I will obtain his divinity, his divine power, and his sovereignty over the Underworld—I want you to help me seize the position of Underworld King." Luode said.

The bold get fed, the timid starve.

Since I can win over Bright Hades, why not go big? Directly gain the entire Underworld, obtain the highest authority of the God of Death—the position of Underworld King.

During previous world-crossings, Luode had once discovered the universe of the Saints, but back then he was extremely weak.

Besides, neither the selection of the Saints nor that of the Bright Warriors suits me—first, the Saints demand an extremely strong physique, and their training difficulty surpasses that of sinister power and domineering aura, yet there are too many difficulties.

As for the Bright Warriors, they are basically selected through reincarnation, and the Sea Warriors also aren't really suitable for Luode.

Moreover, the waters of the Saints' world are too deep; back then Luode didn't dare set foot in it, and he was even more cautious than when he was in the Marvel world.

Most importantly, Luode wanted to conduct an experiment—as a divine being, as a true god, if he went to the Saints' world.

Could he awaken that world's divine microcosm?

The divine microcosm and the mortal microcosm are completely different; the divine microcosm is of a crushing level, utterly crushing mortals.

So the Saints' world has always been a great treasure trove; Luode previously didn't dare go there, but now he has reached true-god level.

Going there to pull off a big score poses no problem, and moreover he has now confirmed his world-crossing ability.

Even beings above multiverse level cannot stop him.

So Luode intends to pull off a big score; his earlier recruitment of Qutuosi was also based on this idea.

Because Qutuosi is a professional god-slayer, bringing him to the Saints' world would be like adding wings to a tiger, helping Luode better seize some things.

But there's no way—Qutuosi is simply too hard to control, especially now he's gone completely insane, so Luode plans to settle for second best.

Among the three brothers of the Greek God-Kings, Zeus is undoubtedly the most shameless, the most unreliable; as for the Sea King Bosedong, in terms of hard strength he falls short compared to Hades and even Zeus—by a bit.

So Luode plans to choose Hades of the Underworld, have him go help, seize another world's Underworld King's divine power and divinity, and then give Hades that Underworld King's body as payment.

Even if Hades of the Underworld is willing, the Saints' world also has a Goddess of Spring, and in appearance she completely outshines the Spring Goddess of the war god's world.

She is a true beauty—after all, she comes from the Greek gods in Japanese manga, her looks are beyond compare, absolutely a perfect goddess level.

"Moreover, you can also choose another wife; in another world there is also an extremely beautiful Goddess of Spring."

"I guarantee you, that Goddess of Spring's looks are more gorgeous and stunning than your wife." Luode began to tempt Hades.

"You, you really mean it? How handsome is he? Yes, is he as handsome as my brother Zeus? And that Goddess of Spring, is she really more beautiful than my wife?" Hades spoke half-believing, half-doubting.

"Believe me, you in that world are handsome to the extreme! Any deity or handsome man in this world cannot compare to you in that world."

"As for that Goddess of Spring, believe me, as soon as you see her once, you will fall deeply in love with her—she is absolutely perfect to the utmost." Luode said.

"Come on, in the Saints' manga, which deity is ugly? In a licensed game, this Goddess of Spring's looks—Persephone—are absolutely top-tier yyds."

"But, but I still deeply love my wife; I, I think as long as she can accept me, that's fine." Hades spoke with slight hesitation.

Such a powerful god shouldn't deceive me for no reason; since he's spoken up, it shows that my counterpart in another world is indeed extremely handsome, and that world's Goddess of Spring is also extremely gorgeous.

Thinking this over, Hades' heart began to stir with anticipation.

"Hades, what are you thinking? It's perfectly normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines; the Goddesses of Spring are all yours—if I were you,"

"I would say, this world's Goddess of Spring is mine, the other world's Goddess of Spring is also mine, and still mine." Luode said.

"I! I! I agree! If you help me obtain my body from another world, and help me abduct that world's Goddess of Spring and bring her to my world, then I will help you seize the Underworld King's position, his divine power, and his divinity."

Finally Hades looked at himself, as if boiled in scalding water, his body covered in bubbles, bloated beyond measure, and made up his mind.

This ugly face of his makes it impossible for him to reap any love; any goddess who sees him feels nauseous and wants to vomit; as the eldest of the three God-Kings, he's had enough. "I hope our transaction proceeds smoothly; once we reach the other world, you must wholeheartedly help me, not seize that world's Underworld King's position yourself." Luode said.

"Believe me, my friend! I, Hades, value reputation above all; I will absolutely not go back on what I promised you." Hades immediately patted his chest, guaranteeing.

"So we need a safeguard—you must first go with me to another world, and I will help you take a body."

"You help me seize the Underworld King's position, then we will revive your wife, and then help you plunder another wife—how does this deal sound to you?" Luode said.

Luode naturally needs to prepare some countermeasures to prevent Hades from pulling a Qutuosi—abandoning the bridge after crossing—so Luode will not first revive the other's wife.

After he helps me secure the Underworld King's position, seize another world's Goddess of Spring, and kidnap her into this world.

"I choose to believe you, the other world's God-King—then we have an agreement."

"First help me take my body, then I will help you gain the Underworld King's position, then you revive my wife, and then help me abduct a wife back." Hades said.

The other world's Underworld King's position could indeed increase his strength somewhat, but not by much.

Hades had no intention whatsoever of deceiving the other party.

"Then we need to plan properly—your counterpart in another world is very keen on doing one thing." Luode said.

"What does my counterpart in another world like to do?" Hades the Underworld King asked curiously.

In his own world, Hades the Underworld King usually just stays in his Underworld; aside from accompanying his wife, he basically has no other hobbies.

"Your counterpart in another world has a strong obsession with the earth ruled by Yatianna, always wanting to seize control of the land."

"For this you and your niece Yatianna have fought for thousands of years, and each major battle ends with you defeated and your niece Yatianna victorious." Luode said with a smile.

??? Hearing this, Hades looked utterly bewildered.

"What situation makes one eager to contend with one's niece Yatianna for control of the earth? When did control of the earth pass to Yatianna's hands? Control of the earth has always been in Gaia's hands! Moreover, my battles with Yatianna actually ended in my defeat—could there be a mistake! How could Yatianna possibly be my opponent?"

"She is Zeus's daughter; although her divine power is not bad, it's still somewhat inferior to Arisi's, let alone mine—I've fought this little niece for thousands of years and never won once; my counterpart in another world must be utterly useless—could he just be a pretty face with no real strength?"

At that moment Hades harbored deep resentment: "I knew those pretty boys were no good in combat—damn it, why do all the goddesses like that type? Is someone as burly as me not good enough? Is it that my skin is like cream all over and my head looks as if splashed with acid, making me ugly?" In the end, Hades and Luode had a very friendly exchange, they swapped names, and Hades even warmly invited Luode to be a guest in the Underworld.

"Hey, give it a try, Mr. Luode, and Miss Sylvanas, this is the finest wine of our Underworld." Hades raised his cup, smiling at Luode.

Luode amicably picked up his cup and clinked it with the other's; as for Sylvanas, although she wore a smile, her contempt for Hades could not be hidden.

This guy is just too ugly, especially after taking off his headgear—he's practically a monster! Just looking at him makes you want to vomit, okay?

No wonder your wife is dissatisfied with this marriage—if it were me, I'd be dissatisfied too! Although I'm not a looks‑obsessed person, you could at least look a bit more human!

"Mr. Luode, when will we set out to help me obtain a new body? I can't wait to see my wife again." Hades said.

He can't wait to put on a handsome face and then go see his wife; just thinking about it makes him a little excited.

If I become handsome, Persephone should no longer despise me! After all, I'm usually very gentle, and toward this underworld queen I'm gentle to the extreme.

"Mr. Hades! Don't rush this—after all, you lot are also in turmoil!" Luode set down his cup and said.

Luode has been staring at this Ghost of Sparta.

After staying a few days with Hades, Qutuosi over there was already close to clearing the game; this guy fought his way through, constantly regaining some powerful abilities.

First, on a snow mountain, he obtained an ice bow from the eyes of the monster ancestor Ti Feng, and then on the summit he gained Prometheus' blazing power.

Moreover, over the past few years, by fusing and obtaining the power of Titan Hera, Qutuosi can unleash an even stronger Titan's wrath.

Afterwards he acquired the Golden Fleece, Icarus' Wings, Atlas' Earthquake, and a time‑controlling treasure; he has now penetrated the fringe of the Goddess of Fate's temple.

"What kind of waves could that Spartan stir up? He's now just an ordinary mortal—even Zeus can't be bothered to deal with him."

"If he enters the Goddess of Fate's temple, he can use her power to reverse the future! Rewrite the fact that he was defeated and even killed by Zeus." Luode said.

The power of fate in the God of War world is incredibly miraculous—it can alter the future from various timelines without creating a new one.

"Impossible! No one can see the Goddess of Fate, not even we god‑kings, let alone that Spartan." Hades shook his head.

Although this Spartan's combat strength is formidable, Hades doesn't believe he can actually reach the Goddess of Fate's temple.

"Believe me, Hades! The Titan clan has been helping him, especially Titan Mother Gaia; they've always plotted to overthrow your Olympian gods' rule." Luode said.

Upon hearing this, Hades was no longer calm—if the Titan clan helped him, Qutuosi might actually be able to reach the Goddess of Fate's temple! (End of chapter)
