Chapter 429 -324: Deep into the Underworld_1

“Remarkable, this is my first time in the Underworld.”

Standing by the riverside, gazing at the distant City of Hades, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but sigh. At that very moment, he saw a boat gradually approaching and docking at the pier. Thus, Duanmu Huai strode over to it.

“Excuse me, could you give me a lift?”

Duanmu Huai raised his hand and spoke to the ferryman of the Soul Boat, who was staring at him in silence for a long time.

“This is the River of Death. The living are not allowed to enter.”

“Well said, what if I insist on entering?”

“That depends on your sincerity.”

“Sincerity, eh…”

Upon hearing the ferryman’s words, Duanmu Huai pondered for a bit, nodded, then abruptly lifted his Thunder Warhammer and swept it horizontally. The massive hammerhead came to a halt just in front of the ferryman’s nose.

“Take me across the river, and I’ll spare your life. Does that sound like a good deal? I think it’s more than fair.”

“………..”

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, the ferryman swallowed, but his old face remained calm.

“Threatening the ferryman on the Styx is foolish, stowaway. I may not know where you came from…but…”

“Bang!”

However, before the ferryman could finish, Duanmu Huai swung his hammer, sending him flying into the Styx, bouncing a few times like a skipping stone before sinking heavily into the water.

“Stupid idiot.”

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, put down his warhammer, and then walked to the front of the boat.

“I’ll row myself.”

Soon enough, under Duanmu Huai’s control, the Soul Boat slowly traversed the crimson Styx and arrived in front of the city where Hades resided. Then Duanmu Huai leapt up, jumped off the boat, looked up at the void in front of him, revealing a cold smile.

Then, Duanmu Huai turned his gaze away and strode toward the Gate of the Underworld.

“Who is he anyways?!”

At this moment, atop Mount Olympus, an old man with white hair was staring at the water mirror in front of him angrily, watching Duanmu Huai’s retreating figure. The gods of Olympus were standing around him, exchanging astonished glances, speechless.

No wonder Zeus was so angry. When everything began, like Ares, he thought that Duanmu Huai was a backup brought by Athena. But when Ares was killed by Duanmu Huai, and his divine power and position were absorbed by Duanmu Huai, Zeus sensed that something was not right.

Usually, when a god dies, their divine power would explode and return to the world, and their position would be vacated, ready for someone else. But this man didn’t just kill Ares, he even usurped his divine power and position!?

Even if the divine power belonged to Ares, the position didn’t!

This meant that once Duanmu Huai usurped the War God’s position, Zeus had no way to grant the position of War God to anyone else!

This made Zeus very uncomfortable.

As I’ve mentioned before, Olympus is basically a family business, and all kinds of kinfolk are blood relatives, and now, a stranger from who knows where usurped the honor of the gods of Olympus, could Zeus tolerate this? If he could, he wouldn’t be Zeus!

So, Zeus angrily banished Duanmu Huai to the Underworld, sent for Athena, and asked her what was going on.

Nevertheless, Athena was just as clueless when confronted with Zeus’s question, not knowing where this man came from.

This escalated the matter.

An outsider infiltrating the family business, and even seizing the family’s assets, is intolerable!

“Kill him! Confine his soul in the Underworld to prevent his reincarnation forever!”

Zeus gave Hades this command, and Hades did indeed send his minions to try and eliminate this invader.

However……”

“Bang!”

The Thunder Warhammer roared down, striking directly on Cerberus, the Hellhound’s head, instantly shattering its skull as if it were a firecracker. The two-headed dog, missing a head, howled and tried to flee, but Duanmu Huai swung his hammer, smashed its hind leg, and it collapsed on the spot like a dead dog. Afterwards, Duanmu Huai jumped up, raised his Warhammer, and fiercely struck it at the other remaining head of Cerberus, the Hellhound!

“Bang!”

As Cerberus, the Hellhound’s last head burst open, its massive body went silent. Duanmu Huai, not even glancing at the bloody corpse, simply continued on his way.

The doors to the Palace of Hades were securely locked; but that was no issue for Duanmu Huai. He pushed and pulled the colossal iron door—then lifted his hammer, and smacked it into the iron door with all his might!

“Boom!”

In the next moment, the firmly shut iron door was smashed open by Duanmu Huai’s hammer just like a curtain being parted, its lower half twisted upwards, followed by the upper half also erupting into shattered pieces, hurtling into the darkness. Only a heavy impact sound could be heard.

…Alright, turns out you are supposed to lift this door.
