[Acquired the Deity of Death Position]

[Additional Skill Reward: Soul Hunt (Releasing this skill can hunt mortal souls with a certain resistance chance)]

“Well, how should I put it…it’s not bad, I guess.”

Looking at the prompt before him, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders. Under normal circumstances, the skill of “Soul Hunt” should be quite useful. However, based on his experience just now, Duanmu Huai found this skill rather useless. Clearly, it was this move that Hades used when he sneak attacked him, and at that time, it felt like tugging a rope for Duanmu Huai. In simple terms, if their physical attribute is robust enough, and strength is powerful enough, then this move would be useless.

So naturally, it was useless for Duanmu Huai.

If he is faced with an enemy who could resist his “Soul Hunt”, then it wouldn’t be easy for Duanmu Huai to kill him anyway. But if the enemy couldn’t resist the “Soul Hunt”, Duanmu Huai could send him straight to the Western Paradise with one swing of a hammer, so why bother with all this?

So, this skill was indeed useless.

Well, let it be.

“Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap…”

Just as Duanmu Huai planned to move on, suddenly, applause came from behind him. He turned around and saw a scantily dressed woman walking in as she applauded. She looked at Hades’s corpse under Duanmu Huai’s foot and started speaking.

“I really didn’t expect, you could kill Hades…”

“Who are you?”

Duanmu Huai looked at the woman and asked, and she gazed at him and replied.

“I am Hades’ wife, Persephone, Queen of the Underworld.”

“You’re his wife?”

Looking at the woman in front of him, who is not even as tall as him, Duanmu Huai looked back at the ten-meter-tall corpse of Hades under his feet—well, he decided not to think about how they conducted their relationship.

“So what brings you here? Are you here to take revenge on him?”

“Revenge?!”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s question, Persephone laughed as if she had heard a hilarious joke, holding her stomach.

“Revenge? For this man? What a joke? Ha ha ha ha, I am just here to see his miserable death! To see how lonely he is now!”

As she spoke, Persephone walked up to the decapitated head of Hades, staring motionlessly at the lifeless head.

“Look at you now, you look like an ugly pig! You thought you controlled the Underworld and no one could dispel that. But now, you’re still turned into a corpse! A corpse! Death has come upon you, you never thought you would end up like this, did you?”

“Uh………”

Watching the scene unfold before him, Duanmu Huai scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a while.

In short, it seems that Hades, like his brother, had a troubled family.

No, is there any deity in Greek mythology who has a harmonious family?

After letting off some steam, Persephone turned to Duanmu Huai again.

“So, the brave man who killed the death god, what are you planning to do next? You’ve killed the King of the Underworld, Poseidon and Zeus will inevitably not let you go…”

“I won’t let them go either.”

Duanmu Huai snorted.

“In fact, I plan to head to Mount Olympus and take out those two old freaks.”

“Good.”

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s reply, Persephone’s eyes lit up, and she gestured for him to follow her.

“Come with me, brave man, I will guide you, help you leave the Underworld, and head to the surface…But you must kill Zeus! Completely destroy Mount Olympus!”

“Do you hate Zeus that much?”

It wasn’t news that Zeus was loathed, but seeing a Greek deity hate Zeus so much surprised Duanmu Huai.

Persephone, however, snorted and spoke.

“Of course, I was kidnapped by Hades to this gloomy place, and even my father betrayed me. I lived here all alone, unable to go anywhere. And it was all their doing, I will never forgive them, so… if I could destroy Mount Olympus and kill Zeus, that would be more than perfect for me!”

As she said this, Persephone turned and walked towards the other side.

“Follow me.”

Having someone to guide him was a relief for Duanmu Huai, so he trailed Persephone and listened to her recounting her story.

Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, she never thought of getting married. However, Hades, the lord of the Underworld, was infatuated with her. After gaining Zeus’s consent, he seized her when she was picking flowers and brought her to the Underworld. Persephone cried out for her mother. Upon hearing her daughter’s call, Demeter set out to find her. Eventually, when she found out Hades abducted her daughter, she approached Zeus and demanded Persephone’s return.

Therefore, Zeus had no choice but to persuade Hades to free her. However, Hades had already tricked Persephone into eating the Underworld’s fruit. As a result, Persephone could never leave the Underworld again. In the end, the compromise was that Persephone could leave the Underworld for a few months every year to reunite with her own mother on the surface.

As one can imagine, Persephone naturally despised Hades. Furthermore, since Zeus couldn’t forget her, he transformed into Hades and visited the Underworld in secret, thereby deceiving his brother. As a result, Persephone gave birth to the Goddess of Intrigues, Melinoe…

Well, it’s no wonder Persephone wished to dismantle Mount Olympus and hoped for Zeus’s death. With such deeds committed by Zeus, it seems Olympus is doomed.

“We’re here.”

Shortly after, Persephone brought Duanmu Huai to a platform pulled by iron chains, signaling to him.

“Via this platform, you can reach the surface. This used to be the meeting point between my mother and me. Once you’ve passed through it, you will be on the surface. You must kill Zeus, destroy Mount Olympus! Let it be utterly razed!”

“Without you telling me, I would do it anyway.”

Duanmu Huai stepped onto the platform. The next moment, the towering platform began slowly rising with the movement of the chains. At the same time, Persephone’s crazed laughter rang out.

“Zeus! You must be watching, I know you are! Now, I am sending the man who can kill you! You will die, your Olympus, all of yours will be utterly destroyed! Hahaha! Tremble, fear, despair. I will be here, witnessing the ruin of Olympus and your downfall!”

“Ch-ch-ch…..”

Hearing Persephone’s crazed curses and roars, Duanmu Huai also shook his head.

Zeus indeed seems to be unloved; there are hardly anyone who likes him.

Meanwhile, at the top of Mount Olympus, Zeus became enraged after hearing Persephone’s malicious curse, coming through the water mirror. With a furious sweep of his hand, the water mirror was knocked over.

“Such audacity!”

“He killed our brothers, that’s an unforgivable crime,”

Poseidon briskly walked to the platform’s edge, looking down.

“Leave it to me. I will show him how terrifying the rage of the sea can be!!”

As his words fell, Poseidon leaped off the platform, rapidly plummeting like a missile, straight into the sea below Mount Olympus. Following that, the initially calm sea erupted into a giant whirlpool. From it emerged the Ocean King, condensed from seawater and towering tens of meters tall. Holding up his trident, the surrounding seawater transformed into terrible sea serpents, replete with fangs and talons. Under Poseidon’s command, they dashed towards a corner of Mount Olympus!

“Hm?”

Standing on the platform, Duanmu Huai felt the vibrations from all around. When he raised his head to look up, he saw a stream of water cascading down the passageway towards him.

It seems that the gods of Olympus indeed can’t stay put.

Facing the surging oncoming flood, Duanmu Huai showed no trace of fear. Clenching his War Hammer, he let out a fierce roar. In an instant, a jet-black blaze erupted from Duanmu Huai, shooting straight up into the sky like a sharp blade to meet the flood!

“BOOM!!!!!”

The roaring water flow was instantly pierced by the whistling black flame. Simultaneously, Duanmu Huai leaped up, straight along the hole torn through by the black flame, and landed heavily on the ground. When Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked ahead, he saw the sea roaring in a terrifying swirl before him, rearing high like an impending tsunami. Behind this wall formed by the waves, a massive figure stood, trident in hand.

“Foolish outsider, you’ve committed an unforgivable crime! But your journey ends here, prepare to feel the wrath of the sea!”

With Poseidon’s roar, monstrous creatures, formed by the solidification of seawater, emerged, snarling and baring their teeth, making terrifying noises. In a blink of an eye, a formidable army appeared before Duanmu Huai.

“Hey, do you think you’re the only one who can rally?”

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai spit, then raised his right hand. Before long, a Soul Card materialized in his hand.

First, summon the [Puppet] into the battlefield.

Then activate [Power of Dragonization], convert all the [Puppets] into [Giant Dragons].

Next, remove the credit card from the graveyard, activate [Sacred Knight’s Summon], summon [Sky City] into the field!

Finally, deploy [Electromagnetic Giant Rhino]!

“BOOM!!!”

A roaring black flame erupted. The next instant, hundreds of roaring giant dragons appeared in the sky. On the ground, Sacred Knights riding Pegasus were watching intently towards the front, shield in hand, expressions serious. Duanmu Huai, however, was riding a giant mechanical rhino, jet-black, towering, and burning with black flames and lightning, facing the vast sea with his War Hammer held high.

“Chaaaaaaaaaaaaarge!!!”

The next moment, roaring waves washed over, colliding heavily with Duanmu Huai’s forces.
