Chapter 385

In the goddess's palace, Athena was now deeply merged, unable to perceive anything from the outside world, with only a barrier protecting her within.

The only one who could freely move in the outside world was Luode himself, and upon sensing the powerful divine cosmos entering the Sanctuary, Luode understood the situation.

This Poseidon really is an old six! He clearly counted on Athena helping him, even threatening that if you don't help me, I'll go find Hades to cooperate.

Luode clearly knew Poseidon's intentions and demands; seeing Athena obtain a divine body, this Poseidon also began to stir with ambition.

But the problem is, why should I help you? I help Athena because she awakened my divine cosmos and entered the will of the gods.

Athena can even play games with me at night—what can you do? Besides, not long ago, the two of us had already agreed to team up against Hades; in this situation, even if we retreat ten thousand steps, Luode has no need to cooperate with Poseidon.

Moreover, Luode had already used Poseidon's body from the Sea God World, feeding it to his cultivated little ten-tailed beast, nurturing god-king-level divine power, and even a Titan God Ten-Tails possessing primordial divine power.

"Athena! If you don't come out now, I'll immediately attack the Twelve Zodiac Palaces—I've brought all the sea generals with me.

And you should know in your heart that Hades' army will arrive soon; when it does, under our combined attack, you have absolutely no path to survival." Poseidon's voice echoed once again throughout the Sanctuary.

He had just used his divine cosmos to sense that the thirteenth Serpent Bearer Palace had not risen.

That is to say, the thirteenth Gold Saint, whom he most feared—the Serpent Bearer—had not appeared, which is good for him; as long as Serpent Bearer doesn't appear, everything can be discussed.

"Shut up! Don't threaten the goddess—if you have the guts, just come storm the palace! We Gold Saints will take good care of you." Mu, guardian of the Aries Palace, spoke.

"Hmph! A mere Gold Saint—don't think that opening Athena's barrier lets you act recklessly before me. Shut up; you have no say here." Poseidon coldly snorted.

His entire body radiated overwhelming aura and divine might, instantly suppressing the majesty of the main god-level Twelve Palaces; his immense divine cosmos even caused all the Gold Saints in the Twelve Palaces to kneel on the ground.

The only ones not kneeling under this divine might were Kaido, guarding the Pope's Palace under Luode's clone Qutuosi, and Luode's true self.

"Sea God Poseidon! As a main god, you're losing your temper over a bunch of mortals—is this what you call divine majesty?"

A terrifying divine might erupted from Athena's palace, instantly canceling Poseidon's emitted divine might, allowing the Gold Saints to regain their mobility.

"Who are you? I came to find Athena—let Athena come out to see me." Sea God Poseidon gripped his golden trident, pointed toward Athena's palace, and loudly questioned.

"Hehe! How to put it? Athena could recover her divine body only because of me.

I restored Athena's divine body and enabled her fusion." Luode instantly appeared before Poseidon via instantaneous movement and said.

At this moment, Luode wore his sacred clothes and held the Olympus Holy Sword in hand. While Athena began absorbing her divine body in seclusion, Luode also used his own blood and divine cosmos to further strengthen the Olympus Holy Sword.

Now this Olympus Holy Sword—putting it bluntly—if Hades dared to appear before Luode wearing his underworld god battle armor, Luode could cleave him in two with a single strike.

At this moment, Luode burned his divine cosmos, emitting a heaven-shaking aura that instantly overwhelmed Poseidon.

Seeing a male deity suddenly appear before him, Poseidon was greatly startled; the divine aura and consciousness emanating from the opponent, along with their divine cosmos, were even stronger than his peak period.

Moreover, the opponent possessed a complete divine body, and the blue great sword in his hand made Poseidon feel absolute danger—it was a weapon capable of destroying his soul.

Damn Athena—when did Athena meet such a powerful male deity? It shouldn't be; why, why did this happen? Such a powerful male deity, whose divine majesty even rivals Apollo's—such a powerful male god.

Poseidon has no reason not to know him, and moreover, the divine power within the opponent's body gives him a sense of familiarity—he should also be from the ancient Greek god clan!

"Then I was rude—I am the Sea God, Poseidon, come to seek Athena for negotiation because I have some matters to discuss." Poseidon planted his Sea God trident into the ground and looked at Luode as he spoke.

Although I greatly fear the opponent, I am still a god king, and as a main god, my majesty cannot fall—especially not before my many subordinates!

"I know what you want to do—you want to take advantage of the situation to rob me. Frankly, Athena's divine body was restored by me, and your body has already been destroyed.

So you shouldn't hope for anything; if you don't want to humiliate yourself, just leave quickly!" Luode shouldered the Olympus Holy Sword and coldly laughed.

Hearing Luode's words, Poseidon's face turned ugly—damn it, how dare he not give this Sea God face?

"You unknown god! Since you can restore Athena's corpse, why can't you restore mine? You should know—if I join forces with Mingguang, you and Athena cannot stop us, especially since Athena can't even move now; with just you, are you sure you want to face me and Hades?" Poseidon spoke.

"Hehe! Talk is useless. Now I give you two options: one—take your so-called Sea God Seven Generals and get as far away from me as possible.

Two—I will shatter your flesh, imprison your soul, and then slaughter your Sea God Seven Generals." Luode showed no intention of giving Poseidon face.

"Eternal Slumber!"

"Terrifying Fate!"

While Luode and Poseidon were talking, two divine cosmos suddenly appeared behind Luode and then collectively unleashed their ultimate moves toward him.

However, the attacks of these two second-rate gods—Luode didn't even bother to dodge; his sacred clothes could completely withstand all attacks, unlike other god clans.

On top of his sacred clothes, Luode could still use Armament Haki for defense; breaking through his sacred clothes' defense is quite difficult.

Luode narrowed his eyes, looking at the two suddenly appearing deities—Death God and Sleep God.

"Sea God, you've seen it too—how powerful is this male god's divine body? Rather than letting him help you restore your body, it's better to seize his body for convenience." Death God Thanatos appeared before Sea God Poseidon and spoke.

"Yes! Sea God Poseidon. Hades is coming soon; when he arrives, we four gods will surround and attack him.

Even if he's incredibly strong, he's absolutely no match for us; as long as we kill him, we can obtain his divine body." Sleep God Hypnos spoke.

"What about Hypnos? And your underworld queen? Won't you come together?" Poseidon gripped his Sea God trident, stood before Hades' two subordinate gods, and spoke.

If the twin gods under Hades helped, then facing this deity would be a stalemate. Poseidon still had confidence.

After Hades arrives, in a four-vs-one situation, we will surely have the advantage and definitely be able to kill this guy.

After killing him, this deity's body will belong to Poseidon; Poseidon can absorb all its essence and then reshape his true divine form.

"The Underworld Queen resides in the heavenly palace on Olympus Mountain, occasionally returning to the Pure Land of Bliss; as for Hypnos, and the four dream gods under me, they currently lack the qualifications to participate in this level of battle." Sleep God Hypnos spoke.

Although the Underworld Queen is also a powerful goddess, she dislikes conflict and has never participated in a holy war—this time will naturally be no exception.

"If so, can you two represent Hades? After defeating this guy, his divine body will be mine." Poseidon looked at Luode, wearing a greedy expression, and spoke.

"Hades only wants Athena's head; other gods, Hades has no interest in whatsoever."

"Poseidon, do you want to team up with us? This is a rare opportunity." Death God Thanatos spoke.

At this moment, large numbers of underworld fighters had already arrived one after another at the Sanctuary, reaching before the First Palace.

"Good! Then let's team up!" Poseidon gritted his teeth, raised his trident, and spoke.

He had already lowered his stance to cooperate, but the opponent's arrogant attitude made this Sea God feel hurt—actually giving him no face at all.

In that case, I'll just cooperate with Hades—after all, cooperating with Hades can also get me what I want." "Hehe! This place doesn't allow deployment—you three come with me." Luode shouldered the Olympus Instantly, smiled at the three gods planning to team up, and spoke.

In a moment, I'll let you know why the flower is so red—do you really think more people mean greater strength? Is the three-vs-one advantage mine? Or will it be four-vs-one after Hades arrives?

Luode had no intention of wasting words—he directly used Mirror Space, pulling the three gods who wanted to deal with him into it.

Before leaving, Luode had Kaido properly guard Athena's palace, then went in to play a while with those three street-bum bears.

"My marine warriors, immediately cooperate with the Underworld Army and attack together, we must capture the Twelve Zodiac Palaces!" Bosedong issued the command to his Seven Sea Emperor Generals.

"So in the end we still have to fight? Then I won't hold back, let me take the lead in breaking through!" A Underworld Warrior snorted coldly and charged first toward the Aries Palace guarded by Mu.

"Hmph! Crystal Wall!" The Golden Saint of Aries, who is made of wood, snorted coldly and waved his hand to directly lay down a transparent golden wall.

This is Aries' famous technique Crystal Wall, which can block enemy attacks and also reflect the enemy's techniques.

The few Underworld Warriors who had just rushed up instantly collided with the pink gold wall, then were shattered by the powerful rebound force.

"Mu! Withdraw the Crystal Wall for me." At this moment, a black-robed person came before Aries and spoke.

"What! You, you!"

"How so, you won't even obey my orders? Now I command you to immediately go to Athena's Palace and bring back her head to me."

"I cannot obey! Even if you issue such an order, I cannot comply." Mu spoke.

"Forget it, anyway this little trick won't stump me." The black-clothed person coldly snorted, waved his hand and dispelled Mu's Crystal Wall.

Then large numbers of Underworld Warriors and Marine Warriors rushed toward the Second Palace, while the Golden Saint of Aries, Mu, tried to block them.

But he was stopped by the black-clothed person, who also revealed his true face—none other than the previous generation's Golden Saint of Aries, Shion, though he wore not the Golden Cloth but the Death Cloth symbolizing death.

"Master!"

"Mu! Come! Let me see, after so many years, have you grown?" Shion spoke.

"Starlight Extinction!"

"Stardust Whirlwind Technique!"

The two Golden Saints of Aries, master and disciple, engaged in a life-or-death duel.

Arudiba of the Second Palace used his oversized horn to block part of the Underworld Warriors' attack.

But as one of the lowest-powered Golden Saints of this generation, even strengthened by Athena's barrier, Arudiba's strength increased little.

When facing a host of notable warriors, he was already somewhat overwhelmed, and now several Underworld Warriors skilled in sneak attacks struck. They directly slew this Golden Saint of Taurus. (Old Bull's combat record cannot be said to have none, only that it is nil!) However, upon entering the Third Palace, the Gemini Palace, the group encountered great difficulty.

A bald man wearing the Gemini Golden Cloth and wielding two Chaos Blades stood before these people.

This bald man emitted an unimaginably ferocious aura, and his Cosmo was ferocious to the extreme.

"Ah!" Qutuosi roared angrily, his Golden Cloth making creaking sounds.

Then he leapt fiercely, like a tiger descending the mountain, charging into the crowd below, wildly swinging the Chaos Blades, harvesting lives.

Not a single Underworld Warrior, nor even a Sea General, was his match in one exchange; in just an instant, over twenty Underworld Warriors and Marine Warriors as foot soldiers died by Qutuosi's hands.

"Damn! Is this guy a monster?"

"Be careful, this guy's aura gives a very ominous feeling." Saga, wearing the Gemini Death Cloth, spoke.

At the same time, he unintentionally glanced at the Sea Dragon General beside him, who is also his younger brother.

"Hmph! Wearing the Gemini Golden Cloth but unable to use any Gemini techniques, you guy also deserve." Galon directly mocked Qutuosi.

Unexpectedly, the one wearing the Gemini Golden Cloth turned out to be such a brute; although the opponent's fighting style was extremely ferocious, he still didn't take him seriously, just a brute! "Ah!" Qutuosi fiercely embraced an Underworld Warrior, then lifted him and charged toward the crowd, leaving both Underworld Warriors and Marine Warriors dazed—what kind of fighting style is this? The ferocious bald head's combat style is completely unlike that of Saints; Athena forbids weapon use, but this guy's two twin blades make him incredibly agile, slicing countless Underworld Warriors and Marine Warriors into pieces.

"Hmph! You can't even use the Gemini secret technique? Take this move! Power that can shatter stars, Galaxy Star Explosion!" Galon snorted coldly and directly demonstrated Gemini's ultimate technique to Qutuosi.

Qutuosi snorted coldly, his arm guards emitted a flash of light, then precisely blocked the move, directly reflecting the massive Galaxy Star Explosion back doubled.

"What! Ah ah!" Galon's Sea Dragon General scale armor instantly shattered, the whole person blasted into the sky.

Qutuosi's Chaos Twin Blades swung directly at Galon; at this moment, as the elder brother, Saga directly stepped forward to block Qutuosi's attack, saving his younger brother.

"Ah!" At this moment, the Golden Cloth was completely dyed blood-red, Qutuosi activated the most violent Spartan Rage, turning the entire Gemini Palace into a field of Shura Hell.

In the Gemini Palace, he slaughtered in all directions!

Even a character-sized Underworld Warrior, or even one of the Three Giants, Radamanthys, in front of Qutuosi couldn't last a single round.

"Is this guy a monster?"

"No mistake, how, how could there be such a powerful guy."

At this moment, Luode was manipulating Qutuosi, violently beating a bunch of Underworld Warriors and Marine Warriors.

At the same time, he wielded the Olympus Holy Sword, madly abusing three gods.

At this moment, the Death God Hypnos' divine Death Cloth from head to toe was completely shattered, the black six-pointed star pattern on his head also dimmed, lying on the ground, life or death unknown.

His chest had a massive sword wound piercing through.

The Sleep God Hypnos also fared no better, having been stabbed through by Luode with the Olympus Holy Sword, just like his brother.

Sea Emperor Poseidon's trident had already been cut by Luode with the Olympus Holy Sword into countless fragments.

"Wait! Wait a moment, I surrender, I surrender." Bosedong wiped the sweat from his forehead, immediately knelt on the ground and spoke.

Damn it, have you made a mistake! The combat power of both sides is not even on the same level.

The Twin Gods, these two useless things, after two rounds came in, were knocked down.

The Underworld King Hades didn't even appear, how can we fight.

"I haven't had enough fun yet!" Luode coldly snorted and said. (End of Chapter)
