Chapter 536: [King's Treasury (High-End Replica)]

Hades hadn't expected the boomerang to come back so fast. At this moment he couldn't help cursing Samael in his heart as useless — only able to bully the dragons of his own world, turning into a spineless shrimp when facing an outsider dragon.

Of course, he also knew that the reason the other party had set their sights on him was inseparable from how overbearing he had acted earlier.

But there was no helping it — if he wanted to seize the chance to plot against the Infinite Dragon God's power, he had to take the dominant position during the encirclement.

Faster than words could tell, before most of the gods could react, a chilling aura of death erupted from Hades' body.

At the same time, Zeus and Poseidon both struck out toward Li Ang's position.

Although their relationship in the mythological records wasn't exactly good, with a great enemy before them they could no longer afford to care about such things.

"When brothers attack together, what foe could stand against us for even a single exchange!"

But in the DXD world there truly were very few beings who could block the combined assault of Hades and his two companions — unfortunately, the one they faced was Li Ang.

Boom—!

In the deafening roar, a giant wound was instantly torn across the earth. Hades and his two companions, who had just formed a pincer, were sent flying backwards like ragged sacks at a speed the naked eye couldn't follow.

Yet before they could even hit the ground, an even more terrifying force forcibly dragged them back to where they had been.

Although they had only exchanged a single round, the three had already realized just how terrifying their opponent's strength truly was.

"What are you waiting for!? Attack!"

Hades' hoarse roar instantly spread across the entire Mount Sumeru.

Damn it, these useless things only know how to watch — if they keep watching, he's about to die!

Upon hearing this voice, the gods of the other pantheons present immediately came to their senses.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, countless attacks generated from different authorities all bombarded Li Ang's position.

Amid the smoke and dust, Li Ang felt the energy fluctuations coming from all directions and couldn't help curling his lip.

An attack of this level wouldn't even break his defense even if he stood still and didn't move.

Ignoring these attacks, Li Ang turned his gaze toward Hades, who had already been dragged back by the 【Tenseigan】, and at this moment the other party was struggling with all his might against the bindings Li Ang had laid down.

As if sensing his gaze, Hades couldn't help raising his head to look before him, and his heart suddenly jolted.

'This guy isn't even defending?! Is he insane?!'

An attack of such massive scale — even the Dragon God himself shouldn't be able to take it, right?!

But before he could think it through in detail, he saw the Dragon God not far away already raising his right hand toward him.

Accompanied by a familiar golden light filling his vision, alarm bells instantly rang out in Hades' heart.

The fire of the soul in the eyes of this god of the underworld began to flicker wildly — clearly he had recognized this as the very technique that had defeated Samael earlier.

'Tch, can only do it this way!'

'Damned bastard!'

Realizing there was no time left for hesitation, Hades clenched his teeth and immediately unleashed his trump card.

The next moment, a sword-like golden light swept across the battlefield, and countless attacks instantly engulfed Li Ang's position.

Boom—!

Thick smoke and dust blotted out the sky, making it impossible for the gathered gods to see what had happened within.

They also tried to probe through perception, but every attempt to scan the situation inside the smoke was like a stone sinking into the sea — without any response.

The gods could only watch the center of the field with extreme tension, silently praying in their hearts that the joint attack had worked.

Unfortunately, the result was destined to disappoint them.

"How truly feeble."

As a voice that betrayed no emotion rang out, the sky-obscuring smoke and dust was instantly swept clean by a gale.

Li Ang stood in midair, gazing down at the gathered gods below with an indifferent expression.

With his exaggerated stats and a slew of damage-reduction feats bolstering him, the attacks just now were nothing more than a tickle.

Seeing this, the gods instantly widened their eyes, hardly able to believe what they were seeing.

"How could he be completely unscathed!?"

"Monster."

They stared at the figure in midair, murmuring to themselves involuntarily.

One must understand that what was present here wasn't just one or two pantheons, but every pantheon except 【Norse】 and 【Biblical】.

The gods had never imagined that there truly existed a being who could suppress all of them single-handedly.

And Hades at this moment was patting his chest with lingering fear — even as the god of the underworld, in that instant just now he had caught a whiff of death.

Fortunately, he had used in time the contingency he had originally prepared for the Infinite Dragon God.

At this moment, three... two-and-a-half figures stood before Hades.

The reason it was two-and-a-half was naturally because one of them had blocked the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion for this god of the underworld, paying with its life as the price.

But upon closer observation, one could see that the wound on that half-figure was constantly writhing, seemingly attempting self-regeneration.

Yet every time it writhed, the crimson magic clinging to its wound would emit crackling, sizzling sounds of burning, while ice shards radiating a bone-piercing chill also blocked its regeneration.

Just as Li Ang had anticipated, the 【Torment of Randi】 and 【Rylai's Crystal Scepter】 chosen during the class change to 【Abyssal Composite Archdemon】 would produce unexpected effects when facing such extremely life-force-rich beings.

Seeing this, Hades' face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

If he hadn't blocked that attack just now, he would likely have met the same fate by now.

And just as he was secretly feeling relieved, Zeus beside him revealed an extremely astonished expression: "Eros?! Tartarus?! Erebus?!"

That's right — the three beings Hades had summoned to take the bullet for him were none other than the Primordial Triad of Greek mythology.

"Hades, you'd better give me an explanation when this is over."

At this moment Zeus furrowed his brow tightly, saying viciously to his elder brother.

Seeing the king of the gods behave like this, Hades merely replied offhandedly: "Let's talk about it after we survive."

"You?!"

Seeing the Greek pantheon still in the mood for infighting, Shiva and Indra could not help but sigh, then looked up at the sky: "What's with that getup?"

In their line of sight, the powerful Dragon God was now clad in a set of pitch-black armor, his left hand covered by a crimson-red gauntlet, and his already conspicuous left eye was constantly radiating brilliant radiance.

Soon, they recognized the origin of the crimson-red gauntlet: "That's the 【Gauntlet of the Red Dragon Emperor】?"

The chief gods had not expected their opponent to have obtained such a powerful Sacred Gear.

But compared to that gauntlet, they were even more curious about the pitch-black armor and the radiant left eye.

Unfortunately, no matter how they racked their brains, they could not find any matching item in their memories.

Just as they were puzzling over this, three distinct figures suddenly appeared beside Li Ang: a one-eyed old man with a crow on his shoulder, a silver-haired middle-aged man with a gloomy expression, and a massive red dragon.

After clearly seeing the appearance of the first two, Shiva and the others' faces immediately showed utterly stunned expressions: "Odin?! Li Zeweimu?! You're not dead?!"

"."

Facing the questioning from below, Odin and Li Zeweimu did not respond, merely bending slightly toward Li Ang: "Your Majesty, is there anything you need us to do?"

Hearing this, the chief gods on the ground could not help but freeze, and an absurd thought immediately rose in their hearts.

Those two guys up there couldn't have surrendered long ago, could they?!

Just as they were thinking this, they suddenly noticed something off.

"That dragon is."

They found that the red dragon in the sky, radiating tremendous pressure, seemed somewhat familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere before.

Fortunately, this time they quickly found the matching target in their minds.

One of the Two Heavenly Dragons, the Red Dragon Emperor.

After recognizing the dragon's identity, Shiva and the others could not help but exchange glances.

Wasn't he already turned into a Sacred Gear by that Bible God long ago?!

But soon, they realized something.

If the Red Dragon Emperor corresponds to that crimson-red gauntlet, then Odin and Li Zeweimu.

Thinking of this, a hint of horror immediately appeared on the chief gods' faces.

Just as the gods were shocked by the truth they had guessed, Li Ang casually instructed Odin and the others: "Leave everything below chief god level to you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After receiving the order, Odin and the other two immediately flew downward, but with their strength, handling so many gods present at once was ultimately somewhat unrealistic.

Li Ang had long been prepared for this; he would not let the 【Divine Armament】 he had painstakingly forged be damaged just like that.

He only had to slightly raise his right hand, and immediately countless pitch-black ripples appeared behind him.

Blades, spears, swords, halberds—various weapons slowly emerged from the ripples, then aimed at the gods below.

【King's Treasury (High Imitation Version)】!

After forging the strong ones from the 【Bible】 and 【Norse】 pantheons into Sacred Gears, Li Ang could now barely cosplay a certain golden glitter.

The reason it was pitch-black ripples was naturally because he was using 【Yomi no Kisaragi】 as the transmission medium.

And at this moment, upon seeing the 【King's Treasury (High Imitation Version)】, Shiva and the others' pupils suddenly constricted, and they involuntarily cried out: "These are all Sacred Gears!?"

As supreme chief gods, they knew perfectly well just how many Sacred Gears existed in this world.

But now before their eyes appeared Sacred Gears far exceeding that number, and judging by aura alone, they all belonged to the extremely powerful kind.

Combined with the situation of Odin and Li Zeweimu.

Shiva and the others seemed to have guessed where exactly the gods of the 【Norse】 and 【Bible】 pantheons had gone.

Just as they were shocked by this, the Sacred Gears emerging from the pitch-black ripples had already begun falling like raindrops.

Boom boom boom boom—!

Explosions rang out one after another; under such intensive bombing, the space where Mount Sumeru lay could not help but let out wails of agony.

And it wasn't over yet—every time a Sacred Gear fell toward the ground, a figure would appear behind Li Ang, and these figures were naturally the consciousnesses dwelling within the Sacred Gears.

Seeing this, Shiva and the others' expressions immediately turned extremely ugly.

They had originally had no confidence in taking down that Dragon God in the sky, let alone now that he also controlled two powerful pantheons like 【Norse】 and 【Bible】.

But surrendering was impossible—after all, with the cautionary tales of 【Norse】 and 【Bible】 right there, no one wanted to end up in that state.

After exchanging glances, a look of resolve to fight to the death immediately appeared in the chief gods' eyes.

'Looks like we can only go all out.'

'Find a chance to run.'

'Or maybe try surrendering?'
