Chapter 158: Dark Star vs. Sun Guardian Star, Hades Ouroboros vs. Red Lotus Ouroboros

"Gahaha~~~"

Each dark star transformed into a skull, emitting eerie laughter. Following this, dark purple chains emerged, spanning the astral plane, heading straight for Hyperion.

"Mm!"

Hyperion frowned slightly, raising his sword, the Divine True Sword, and swung it down. However, even with the blessing of Hyperion's divine laws and power, the strike had no effect.

At some point, the nine-pointed star glowing from Hades' forehead had already attached itself to all the dark stars. Under the power of the Helm of Invisibility, even the Divine True Sword could not easily break this layer of defense.

Initially, the Helm of Invisibility and the Divine True Sword might have been evenly matched, perhaps slightly surpassing each other. However, Hyperion's Divine True Sword had also surpassed an ordinary Divine True Sword.

This balance could have gone either way, but the situation was not so simple! Hades' Helm of Invisibility, combined with his armor and the Sword of the Underworld, formed a new whole. The power generated from this combination was beyond question. The outcome?! There was no need for further words.

The power of the Helm of Invisibility had surpassed its original limits. Under its influence, the defense of the dark stars was such that even Hyperion's Divine True Sword could not break through.

"Troublesome!"

Hyperion frowned slightly, feeling the complexity of the situation. However, he remained calm. In an instant, countless rays of light burst forth. These were stars burning with the divine fire of the sun, resembling miniature suns, gifts from the Earth Goddess to her children—the Guardian Stars, each of her children had one.

However!

Only Hyperion, besides the Titan King, could fully unleash the power of the Guardian Stars. In Hyperion's hands, these stars turned into roaring Sunbirds.

The Sunbirds fearlessly faced the dark star chains, burning with divine fire. Whether it was sealing laws or devouring laws, under the boundless sunfire, they were incinerated, unable to manifest.

"..."

Seeing the stalemate between the dark stars and the Sun Guardian Stars, Hades and Hyperion simultaneously increased their divine power and law intensity. If the situation was evenly matched, they had no choice but to confront it head-on! 

The dark star chains once again transformed into eerie dark purple skulls, which clashed fiercely with the Sunbirds burning with divine fire.

In a short time, half of the astral plane was being destroyed, while the other half was ablaze, leaving the star gods trembling. What were these powerful beings trying to do? They pleaded, hoping not to be annihilated, seeking to distance themselves from the chaos to avoid being dragged into the destruction.

At this moment, both Hades and Hyperion, caught in such a fierce battle, had no time to pay attention to anything else. Any distraction could lead to their demise!

Both gods understood the strength of the other. In this almost evenly matched battle, any mistake could lead to death!

At this moment, divine power began protecting all the stars. This power came from the sky, and all the gods were shocked. Wasn't this the power of the Sky God?

However!

The actions of the Sky God were beyond their understanding or authority. It wasn't surprising. After all, if all the stars and star gods were killed, the astral plane would become an empty shell. If the Chaos Sea encountered a problem then, the action of the Ancient God was inevitable. The fact that the Sky God intervened was not unexpected.

Hades and Hyperion, sensing their father/grandfather's intervention, were not concerned. Without worries, they decided to go all out in battle!

Hyperion didn't hesitate, as the burning divine fire behind him began to evolve, turning into a crimson fire.

"Red Lotus Flame."

Hades recognized the phenomenon. The divine fire of the sun could evolve into Red Lotus Flame, a challenging feat. Such a top-tier divine fire could not be easily achieved.

Hyperion's evolution was not surprising. However, this wasn't the end. Amidst the blazing Red Lotus Flame, an Ouroboros—a serpent biting its tail—emerged, enveloped in the crimson flames. This sight excited all the Sunbirds.

"Ouroboros..." Hades observed the serpent. The appearance of an Ouroboros meant something significant...

Without more thought, Hades unleashed his power. Behind him, dark purple light symbolizing the laws of the Underworld appeared. Alongside it, an Ouroboros, similar in shape but different in color, emerged.

This Ouroboros, infused with the laws of the Underworld, was attached to the dark stars, making them even more formidable.

Hades Ouroboros! Red Lotus Ouroboros!

What this represented was clear to those who understood. The two gods, recognizing their similarities, knew there was no need to hold back. Any further restraint could mean death.

Both gods revealed their trump cards simultaneously.
