Explosions began to occur frequently around the gate. The gate did not exist in this space; it existed between illusion and reality. Hades shattered the space in which it existed, greatly weakening its ability to interfere with reality.
Hades put in considerable effort to achieve this, and his expression was completely different from his previous casual demeanor.
To be honest, after this action, the situation of Death and Hypnos was relieved quite a bit.
"In that case, I'll go even higher."
Yi Shuihan had this idea, but before he could put it into practice, Hypnos, the god of sleep, made his move. That's right, not Thanatos, the god of death, but Hypnos. Compared to Thanatos, Hypnos was clearly smarter, assessing the situation and launching a counterattack before Thanatos could even react to what he was about to do.
"Eternal Sleep"
He used a deadly technique from the very first move, aiming to make Yi Shuihan lose consciousness.
Yi Shuihan felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him, like someone who had been online for three days and three nights. He didn't want to think about anything but sleep.
Caught off guard, Yi Shuihan was caught off guard and paid the price of his gate temporarily disappearing.
Faced with the Sleep God's deadly attack, Yi Shuihan concentrated his mental energy and launched a full-force attack, quickly breaking free. The Sleep God, however, let out a muffled groan, suffering a backlash, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Without the gate, the deathly aura once again clung to Yi Shuihan, attempting to summon the gate again. However, Hades immediately struck again, or rather, he unleashed his eyes. His eyes released a powerful shock that destroyed everything in its path, even space itself. The effect presented to everyone was a spatial rift that stretched straight to Yi Shuihan's face.
"Hades is a master of killing with his eyes!"
The power of this shockwave was more than enough to annihilate a god of the level of a killer god.
"Should I dodge or..."
Of course, he took it head-on. He threw a punch, and his fist collided violently with the impact, producing a huge roar.
"Crack, click..."
A streak of light flew out from Yi Shuihan's body, and in an instant, Yi Shuihan transformed, donning his own unique divine robe. This divine robe was made entirely of armor stone and was no less impressive than the divine robe worn by Hades. The divine robe automatically resisted the invasion of death energy, making it seem quite effortless.
To be honest, this divine garment is still an unfinished version. There are some things that even Yi Shuihan's strength can't easily acquire, and he doesn't want to compromise. If nothing unexpected happens, this divine garment will be with him for a long time.
Even the unfinished version is already this impressive; it's hard to imagine what it will be like when it's truly finished.
Hades was greatly surprised that his blinding attacks could not harm Yi Shuihan. Finally, he chose to use his weapon, swinging his sword at Yi Shuihan in mid-air. The sword light, which was gathered with his inner universe, slashed at him. It seemed less powerful than before, but it gave Yi Shuihan an even greater sense of crisis.
Chapter 846, The Delayed Battle
An attack is not necessarily the most powerful or the most spectacular. At the advanced level, battles often occur silently, seemingly without any visible fire or smoke, but in reality, they are extremely dangerous. Those who are not strong enough simply cannot understand what is happening.
The sword light is commonplace; even someone with a small universe and sixth sense can use it. However, their sword light is completely different from Hades's.
Even from a distance, Yi Shuihan felt a stinging pain on his skin; it was his body warning him of impending danger.
For Yi Shuihan to feel this way, it must be an attack powerful enough to annihilate a Silver 7-star.
At this moment, Yi Shuihan could no longer hold back and used his strongest power, the Tribulation Lightning Divine Power, for the first time in this world.
Thunder roared in the void as a red lightning bolt struck the blade light, annihilating it.
"The power of lightning?"
Poseidon exclaimed in surprise and looked at Zeus, the king of the gods. He knew that Zeus's power was mainly lightning, and no other chief god controlled a similar power. He wondered if Yi Shuihan and Zeus might have some kind of relationship.
"Could he be one of Zeus's illegitimate children?!"
These gods couldn't help but think this way, after all, Zeus was notorious for his amorousness and had many offspring, with illegitimate children appearing from time to time being commonplace.
Zeus occasionally failed to notice the strange looks from the other gods, but he didn't explain. Explaining such things only made things more complicated. He knew he had absolutely no connection with Yi Shuihan, but that didn't mean others believed him! Feeling a familiar gaze, a gaze that always brought him bad luck, Zeus felt quite annoyed.
Yi Shuihan had no idea what the gods were thinking. If he knew that the gods believed he was Zeus's illegitimate son, his face would probably turn very dark.
Hades used his divine sword, and Yi Shuihan also used his tribulation lightning divine power. It seemed that a truly earth-shattering battle was about to break out. It was estimated that if either of them couldn't withstand the attack, the Earth would be destroyed. Even though the Earth is now a hundred times larger than before, it cannot change its fate.
"Perhaps all it takes is one great battle for me to break through again and advance directly from Earth Immortal to Celestial Immortal. At that time, every time Zeus breaks through to the Gold level, the victor will be me."
As this thought surfaced in his mind, Yi Shuihan also had a corresponding feeling, which made him instantly understand that this was the so-called opportunity for a breakthrough.
A breakthrough opportunity is something that appears when a cultivator reaches a certain stage of cultivation. Once the opportunity is fulfilled, one can achieve a leap in strength without having to painstakingly accumulate the power for a breakthrough. In general, it's a matter of luck.
Yi Shuihan would normally need at least ten years of cultivation to reach the Celestial Immortal level, but this opportunity allows him to save that time. It's not exactly a meteoric rise, but it's certainly a huge benefit.
With such a huge benefit right in front of Yi Shuihan, it would be a great pity not to seize it. However, there is a huge problem at hand: Earth must not be destroyed because of the battle. Therefore, a different battlefield is needed, or is there any way to reduce the destructive power of their battle?
Changing battlefields sounds simple, but it's not easy at all. You have to understand that we're still in the midst of the God Assembly, and things haven't been completely resolved yet. The other gods won't just watch Hades leave. They didn't mind before because they thought Yi Shuihan would be dealt with quickly. But if Hades and Yi Shuihan were to switch battlefields now, who knows how much time would be wasted.
Among the main gods, there are still those who don't care much about Hades and Yi Shuihan's situation.
"Wait, we'll call later. Let you finish this first; everyone's waiting!"
This wasn't what Yi Shuihan truly thought, but he still said it aloud. There was no other way; he didn't have the strength to sweep everything aside for the time being.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the other gods looked at Yi Shuihan a little more gently, thinking that Yi Shuihan was quite sensible and knew how to consider the big picture. In comparison, Hades was much more annoying.
"If you want to fight, how about adding me to the mix? All my guards have been ruined by you."
Ares, the God of War, suddenly interjected. As the God of War, he was a complete battle maniac who loved fighting. However, due to his limited strength, he rarely had any opponents and often couldn't fully enjoy the battle. Now, he was interested in Yi Shuihan and felt that perhaps Yi Shuihan could let him experience the joy of fighting. As for the few subordinates who died because of the door, he didn't really care. All gods are ants, which is the mentality of most gods.
"can."
Without hesitation, he agreed to Ares's request. After all, even if he disagreed and the other party wanted to fight, he couldn't just run away.
Hades alone might not be enough to make the opportunity come to fruition; adding Ares would be much safer.
Ares's strength ranks in the upper-middle range among the twelve Olympian gods. Even if Ares and Hades were to fight together, Yi Shuihan felt that they could handle it, so he was naturally not afraid.
"Hades, what do you say?"
Ares's actions earned him a thumbs up from Yi Shuihan. Hades might have ignored Yi Shuihan's words and wasted time, potentially leading to consequences Yi Shuihan didn't want. But now, Ares's words gave Hades a way out, allowing him to move on.
"I'll let you live a little longer."
"Lord Hades."
"kindness?"
"Yes."
Thanatos was somewhat dissatisfied, but he still dared not disobey Hades and could only look at Yi Shuihan with resentment.
He glared back without hesitation, which made Danadus feel even worse, and he desperately wanted to kill Yi Shuihan.
Hades put away the world of the dead and sat back on his throne. The atmosphere immediately eased, as if the sun had finally come out after the rain.
The guardians of the gods had all recovered from the immense pressure, and each one of them looked like a survivor.
Zeus, the king of the gods, resumed presiding over the assembly, while Yi Shuihan and the goddess of beauty continued to exchange glances.
Because of Yi Shuihan's performance, the other gods also paid more attention to him and noticed the situation between Yi Shuihan and the goddess Aphrodite. However, they did not say anything, as they knew Aphrodite's personality and thought it was normal.
Aren't you worried about him?
"What's there to worry about? It's just Hades!"
"Do you want me to cheer you on? There's a reward if you win!"
"What reward?"
"You know!"
This is a partial translation of the eye contact between Yi Shuihan and the Goddess of Beauty.
Chapter 847, The Battle on Mars
Battle on Mars
When Zeus announced the end of the conference, the previously peaceful atmosphere instantly became tense, and Hades and Yi Shuihan soared into the sky almost at the same time.
"Hey, wait for me, you're too cunning, I want to come too."
The warmonger Ares, his face full of excitement, flew out without saying a word.
The other gods looked at Zeus, who smiled helplessly.
"Now that the conference is over, everyone can do whatever they want. I'd like to have a chat with my precious daughter, Athena."
"uh-huh!"
Upon hearing Hera's words, Zeus's expression froze, and he said with a blank look, "Never mind, I'll just stay here quietly."
"I don't care what you do with me, I'm leaving anyway."
As the provider of the venue, Athena, who could be considered the host, showed no concern whatsoever and left the venue on her own. Saga and Aiolos followed closely behind. As for Iori Yagami, after thinking for a moment, he also left with Athena. Although he preferred to wait for Yi Shuihan, he didn't want to face the remaining gods even more.
Of the remaining main gods, Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, was arguably the most concerned about the battle between Yi Shuihan and Hades. However, she didn't rush to watch the battle. These gods could easily ascertain the situation through Hades's cosmos, and even without witnessing it firsthand, they could get a general idea of what was happening.
condition.
While these gods were either leaving or staying, Yi Shuihan and Hades had already broken out of Earth and arrived on Mars, which was not far away.
The Martian environment is extremely harsh, with various impact craters and volcanoes, clearly not suitable for human survival. However, none of this matters to Hades and Yi Shuihan.
"Show me what you've got, and I'll make you submit, body and soul."
Hades gripped his divine sword, pointing the tip at the ground at a 30-degree angle, and said with a smug look on his face.
"If you want me dead, your strength is a bit lacking. I have a suggestion: you and Ares should come at me together. If that's not enough, Death and Hypnos can join in as well. I don't mind."
Yi Shuihan kindly offered the suggestion, but Hades, who was being kind, refused to accept it and instead ignited the powder keg.
His figure vanished instantly, launching an attack at a speed far exceeding the speed of light.
"They've already started fighting; those two are really impatient."
When Ares arrived at the scene, he saw Yi Shuihan and Hades clashing at a speed that ordinary people could not even see. Yi Shuihan had somehow produced a pair of gauntlets in his hand, which firmly blocked the sharpness of the divine sword.
"I can't take it anymore, it's too exciting, just looking at it makes me..." Ares' face was flushed, and anyone who didn't know better would think he had been... you know.
Suddenly, Ares reached into his pants and pulled out a 1.7-meter-long spear. Yi Shuihan didn't notice this, otherwise he would have been bewildered by the bizarre scene. How could a supposedly serious battle world turn into a world of... well, you know?
It has a very funny art style!
"I'm here too."
With a roar, Ares joined the battle.
A voice faintly echoed from the void: "Come on, let's have some fun, we have plenty of time anyway..."
Ares's involvement wasn't to fight Yi Shuihan alongside Hades; he also considered Hades a direct opponent, aiming to take on both of them directly.
In an instant, the 2-person solo battle turned into a 3-person free-for-all.
The battle between the gods was earth-shattering, but precisely because the level was so high, those with lower strength didn't feel anything. Only those with the seventh sense of their cosmos could barely sense the fluctuations of this battle. The stronger one was, the clearer their sense of the battle became, and the more they could feel the danger and terror within it.
The monsters on Earth have become much quieter because of the battle that took place across planetary distances. Humans who went out hunting were surprised to find that some of the powerful monsters they used to run away from were now standing there blankly, as if they had lost their souls. Even when they swaggered right in front of them, they completely ignored them.
Some daring humans took advantage of this opportunity to attack those powerful monsters, and surprisingly, quite a few succeeded.
"What should we do? Should we intervene?"
Death and Hypnos were not far from the battlefield. The two gods were somewhat unsure about the current situation. The main reason was that the level of the battle had now completely escalated to the level of the main gods, which was beyond the reach of second-level gods like them. If they were not careful, they could be instantly killed.
"cough cough"
The God of Sleep covered his mouth with one hand. He was not in good physical condition. He had been attacked by Yi Shuihan before, and now his face looked very pale.
"Now we can only trust Lord Hades. Lord Hades is the King of the Underworld, and he absolutely cannot lose."
"Of course, that is Hades, the god of the underworld, our king."
Death had complete faith in Hades, and after Hypnos's words, he was immediately reassured.
"The only pity is that I can't kill that guy with my own hands. Damn it, how could he have such strength? Where did this guy come from?"
Although Death was reluctant to admit it, he knew he was no match for Yi Shuihan. The strength Yi Shuihan was displaying now shocked him greatly. Ares was one of the twelve Olympian gods and the God of War, so it was only natural that he could fight Hades. But Yi Shuihan, a nameless guy whose name he had never even heard of before, was now showing power that was even greater than Hades'.
At first, the three attacked each other while dealing with the other two. But later, as Yi Shuihan's strength exploded, Hades and Iris were gradually forced to unite against Yi Shuihan, and the situation unfolded exactly as Yi Shuihan had planned.
Lightning crackled around Yi Shuihan's body, and the power of the tribulation lightning not only did not weaken with its use, but instead showed a tendency to become even stronger.
"Come on! Be more intense, it's almost over, the opportunity to break through is about to be fulfilled."
"Hades, did you skip dinner? Push harder! With that little strength, are you even a woman?"
"Ares, you call yourself the God of War, yet you only have this much strength? Does that mean your full title as the God of War is the God of Defeat?"
Each provocative remark spurred Hades and Ares to unleash even greater power, significantly increasing the pressure on Yi Shuihan.
Chapter 848, Celestial Immortal, Achievement
Celestial Immortal,
Deliberately provoking Hades and Ares to unleash their full power was exactly what Yi Shuihan wanted, and the current situation is clearly unfolding as he predicted.
"In the name of Ares, the God of War, shatter space!"
