Chapter 122: Hades' Monstrous Growth, Coeus's Trump Cards

The leader of the twelve Titan Major Gods.

The second-generation God-King.

Titan God-King: Cronus.

His own younger brother. Indeed, in Hades, Coeus saw the shadow of Cronus. To be more precise, it wasn't just a shadow; it was as if he was seeing the same person.

In the past, Coeus was the first to begin training in techniques, gradually developing them step by step. Over time, Coeus had reached an extremely impressive level of mastery in these techniques.

However, whenever Coeus faced Cronus in battle or sparring, the scenes were almost identical to the present. No matter how hard he tried or how powerful his techniques were, the result was always the same.

Cronus, in their encounters, absorbed everything like a massive sponge in a short period. This feeling was peculiar, leaving Coeus at a loss for words.

At this moment, Coeus looked at Hades with a slight sense of astonishment. It wasn't due to any other reason but the sheer familiarity of it all—it was almost too similar.

A flash of sword light swept past. Although Coeus was distracted, he instinctively dodged all attacks, retreating quickly while Hades, holding his sword with one hand, did not pursue.

Hades spoke quietly, "Coeus, the next time you lose focus, it will cost you your life."

His voice was cold and emotionless, while Coeus stared deeply at him, silent for a moment as if unsure of what to say.

At this moment, Coeus looked deeply at Hades before finally speaking slowly, "You look so much like him."

"You mean our father," Hades replied quietly. "Coeus, you think I resemble our father greatly."

"Yes!" Coeus remarked with a touch of emotion. "Too much alike, it's as if…"

"Haha…"

Coeus trailed off with a wry smile and a shake of his head, not continuing, but the meaning was clear—Hades was extremely similar to Cronus.

It was even as if Hades, in Coeus's eyes, was almost the same person as Cronus. This feeling was bizarre, leaving Coeus in a state of silent reflection.

"It's time to begin," Hades said without attacking. "Coeus, don't waste any more time."

"Indeed," Coeus replied, smiling slightly. He once again gripped his sword with one hand, charging forward. This time, there were no more tests—Coeus launched a ferocious assault, each strike powerful and relentless, completely suppressing Hades.

However, after a brief period of suppression, Coeus noticed something amiss.

Something was wrong.

Coeus looked deeply at Hades, realizing it wasn't just Hades's monstrous growth. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't inflict further harm on Hades.

A hair's breadth of difference!

Every time, it was the same—no matter how hard Coeus tried, he could never go beyond a certain point, as if they were stuck in a stalemate. This was extremely strange, to the point of being bewildering.

"Why?"

"What's going on?"

"This is…"

Coeus keenly sensed something was off. Hades's situation was too odd, and Coeus could also detect that Hades's progress was shockingly rapid.

It had reached a level that was simply astonishing. In a short time, Hades had gone from being completely suppressed to being at a disadvantage, then to an equal footing, and now gradually starting to overpower Coeus.

And this!

This was an extremely terrifying thing. These were techniques, after all, and such techniques in Hades's hands seemed incredibly simple. Coeus thought that even Cronus in his prime couldn't achieve such a level.

After some thought, Coeus quickly retreated, narrowing his eyes with a sharp expression, saying, "Hades, are you no longer a Titan Major God?"

"..."

Hades didn't answer Coeus. No one would reveal their true strength, especially when unnoticed. Why should he expose everything?

Hades simply held his sword and attacked again. The techniques in his hands were already surpassing Coeus's power, and given more time, he might completely surpass him.

And Coeus wasn't surprised by Hades's silence. It wasn't unusual; Hades had no obligation to answer him. Coeus's expression grew grim.

If his suspicions were correct, then this battle would lose all meaning, and all his preparations would be for nothing.

"Hades…"

"If that's the case!"

Coeus's eyes flashed with seriousness. He raised his hand, summoning stars to appear—his guardian stars, like those of Iapetos. These stars were Gaia's gifts to her children.

These were the powers given by the Earth Goddess, nothing unusual, but with the summoning of his guardian stars, Coeus didn't hesitate. A dark purple light flickered—that was the power of True Divinity.

Coeus summoned True Divinity once more, and without pause, summoned the God Emblem, ready to ignite his own God Emblem.

Clearly, Coeus had no hesitation, revealing all his trump cards at once, understanding the situation completely.
