Chapter 160: Ancient God? What is That Sword?

Blazing~~~

Blazing~~~

Pink flames ignited, symbolizing the flames of Kronos. At this moment, Hyperion let out a beast-like roar. As the Divine Crest ignited, it was clear that Hyperion had mastered the Ultimate Power.

At this moment!

It was enough.

Thump!

Thump!

Hyperion's heart seemed to beat violently. With each thump, an aura different from ordinary gods emerged from him.

"Ancient God," Hades said calmly. "With the blessing of the World Tree and the ignition of the Symbol of Infinity, the Divine Crest awakens the Ultimate Power, forcibly elevating you to the level of an Ancient God in a short time."

"Indeed!"

Hyperion's voice was hoarse, indicating that forcing himself to reach this level in a short period consumed an immense and astonishing amount of energy. How long could he sustain it? The answer was obvious.

God-King.

Ancient God.

Though it seemed just one step, it was a vast chasm. Even though Hyperion was hailed as the strongest, he could only sustain the Ancient God's level for a short time.

Therefore, Hyperion knew he had to decide the battle quickly. Dragging it out would lead to disaster.

"It must end."

Hyperion's voice was calm, yet it instilled a sense of terror in all the gods.

Hades watched Hyperion, contemplating. After a moment, he raised his hand and took out the Dark Crest. As it merged into his body, Hades' power surged rapidly, elevating him to the level of an Ancient God in an instant.

The gods watching the battle were stunned. Hyperion's layered efforts had barely brought him to the Ancient God's level, and he could only sustain it briefly. Yet Hades, with the Dark Crest, had so easily reached the same level.

Hyperion, realizing Hades' superiority, knew he still had a chance. It wasn't an absolute defeat.

However, at this moment, Hades' body was covered in a dark battle armor, the armor of the Underworld God, further increasing his aura. Hyperion's expression grew graver. "Hades, it seems everything will end now."

"Naturally," Hades replied quietly.

"Infinite Red Flame!!!"

Hyperion roared deafeningly as the Symbol of Infinity fused into his body. This risky move could cause him to explode. Earlier, he had only used the Symbol of Infinity to enhance himself. Now, merging it fully brought immense strain. Could Hyperion's divine body withstand this terrifying power?

The answer was clear. The Red Lotus Ouroboros reappeared, coiling around Hyperion's right hand. The Red Lotus Flame, imbued with the powers of destruction and rebirth, combined with Hyperion's Divine True Sword. As he swung the sword, the overwhelming Red Lotus Flame burned the astral plane, engulfing Hades completely.

"Hades!"

"It ends here!"

Hyperion was confident in his final strike. He could not afford to lose, nor could he allow himself to.

"Integrating all into oneself," Hades praised. "Hyperion, you truly are the strongest of the twelve Titan gods. But as you said, Hyperion, it ends now!"

Hades drew the Sword of the Underworld from his waist. In an instant, darkness enveloped everything, devouring all the Red Lotus Flame, all the scorching heat, all the divine power.

It was as if the entire astral plane plunged into endless darkness. Even Poseidon, Zeus, Kronos, and other Ancient Gods could not see what was happening within the astral plane.

"Huh?!"

"What is this?"

"This..."

"Is it an artifact comparable to the Great Treasure?"

"How is that possible?"

The Ancient Gods watching the battle were stunned. They never expected such a turn of events. Hades wielded an artifact that rivaled the Great Treasures, items representing the world's essence and the Mythical World's origin.

Why did Hades have a Great Treasure? This was unfathomable.

Unlike the other Ancient Gods, Erebus and Nyx were delighted. Look! Look! This is the god-king we invested all our efforts in. Compare him to your trash gods!

Hades was unaware of the thoughts of the Ancient Gods. He simply swung his sword, seemingly an ordinary strike, yet imbued with his unparalleled divine power, it decided everything.
