At this time, Aaron nodded. It seemed that the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, truly knew about the existence of the multiverse.
"The multiverse?"
The Ancient One nodded. At her level, she didn't need a Heavenly Father or a Celestial. Although she had foreseen her own death years ago, she now felt that her demise had become more and more distant. And all of this seemed to have some connection with the man in front of her.
"During our death match, I discovered something was wrong," Aaron said slowly. "The power of this 'Death' was much stronger than mine, yet her sanctions against me had no effect!"
"That's because you possess an energy I can't see through. It's been with you since the moment you arrived. This is related to the multiverse."
"At that moment, I realized my own uniqueness. It seemed as though a power in the shadows was controlling my destiny," Aaron continued, ignoring the Ancient One's gaze. "It wasn't until I discovered the existence of the multiverse within the fragments of Death herself that I understood."
It turned out that the fragments of Death, which Aaron had cut with his sword, had transformed into "death balls." These balls carried the memories and aura of the plane where Death originally resided. Within these memories, Aaron saw five high-level gods. They were all fundamental forces, far stronger than the Titan King Kronos whom he had fought before. Even Zeus was not as powerful as they were. Of course, Aaron couldn't recall how strong Zeus was. The King of Olympus and the Gods' Cloths had disappeared at the end of Mount Olympus many, many years ago.
Now, with this new knowledge of the multiverse, the blood of the God of War that had been dormant in Aaron's heart for so many years began to boil once again.
Looking at Aaron's fiery eyes, the Ancient One smiled faintly. This man was a troublemaker; ever since he had descended into this world, he seemed to be involved in everything. Hades, the King of the Underworld, was clearly not a ruler who would follow the rules.
"That's enough. You can handle the rest yourself." It wasn't appropriate to stay here any longer. The Ancient One feared that if she remained, she might abandon her duty as Sorcerer Supreme and go to this underworld herself. But the time was not right, even if she truly wanted to experience the multiverse.
Watching the Ancient One leave, Aaron smiled faintly. Then he waved his hand and returned to the underworld.
The Underworld
The Gates of Hell. Here, all the revived Specters had gathered at this moment. At the call of Hades, all these Specters converged in front of the Sanzu River.
"Is this the Underworld?"
Many revived Specters still had bodies in the living world and had never personally been to the Underworld. Only the three Judges—Wyvern Radamanthys, Gryphon Minos, and Garuda Aiacos—had the honor of being in the underworld opened by Lord Hades himself.
"Lord Hades has given an order!" Minos announced, stepping out from among the three Judges. "The Underworld's sphere of influence now covers the entire galaxy, but there are many who covet its power! So, to avoid another Holy War, all Specters—regardless of their celestial star—must train in the Small Universe. Those who have awakened the sixth sense will become glorious soldiers of the Underworld Army! Those who reach the seventh sense can hold an important position!"
"Now, with the exception of the Celestial Sword Star, everyone will cross the Sanzu River and head to the First Prison!"
Under this powerful coercion, none of the Specters could even raise a thought of resistance. To build a powerful army, the three Judges were acting ruthlessly. The current Underworld was already vast, having expanded to encompass the entire solar system. However, this was just the beginning. The so-called Underworld was a new world created by the will of the gods, using the power of life and death.
Aaron stood impassively in front of the Sanzu River, staring at the vast sky before him. He suddenly shook his head. Then, an icy, dark Small Universe instantly covered the entire space of the Specters. The ancient cities were perfected, and a series of crisscrossing rivers extended from the Sanzu River. With the will of the gods, the Yomotsu Hirasaka—the Yellow Springs Slope—appeared. This was the true entrance to the Underworld, the road that connected the land of the living and the land of the dead, and no one could pass through it except the gods and those approved by them.
He then rebuilt and expanded the foundations. From the Gates of Hell to the Eighth Prison, the entire Eighth Prison was recreated.
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here," Aaron stared coldly at everyone in front of him before turning his gaze to Cerberus. "Cerberus, from today on, you will guard behind the Gates of Hell!"
"Woof!!!"
As soon as he spoke, a huge amount of energy was bestowed upon Cerberus. In an instant, the dog's combat power was equivalent to that of a Silver Saint. Both the Eight Great Prisons and the Four Great Circles were restored to their original form. An ancient and profound dark aura lingered in this dark hell at all times.
This was the Underworld. A forbidden place for the living, a holy place for the dead. Everywhere, Aaron had done his best to restore the Underworld that had been destroyed in that other world. With the establishment of the Underworld, a thick aura naturally rose from within.
At that moment, the entirety of Easter Island was enveloped in an extreme, freezing cold. The surrounding area, stretching for a hundred miles, was completely frozen. However, the rising darkness still blocked the sunlight. All the planets in the solar system gradually began to align under a great divine power.
Afterward, all the Specters saw a familiar body slowly walking into the depths of their world.
"Lord Hades?"
That's right—it was Hades' true body. After being pierced by Athena, which caused the Pure Land of Elysium to collapse, he had fallen into a deep slumber. This was the body of a god. But even if the body was destroyed, the god would not perish.
BOOM!
The moment the true body descended, the law of the Underworld completely reversed the rules of the entire galaxy. Starting today, all living beings in this galaxy would be under the control of Hades.
"The Underworld!"
In a dimension not far from Earth, a high-ranking Angel stared with red eyes at this sudden intrusion into heaven.
"Sooner or later, this power will belong to me, Michael!"
After his furious declaration, the Angel turned, lifted his holy sword, and left the gates of heaven. On the ground, a low-level angel with severed wings lay in his wake.
Michael was insane!
