Chapter 299: The Holy War Begins in Full, The Underworld and Sea Realm Join Forces to Directly Assault the Celestial Realm?!

Poseidon had his own preparations.

And!

His preparations were thorough enough—this was beyond question.

For a long time, Poseidon had given the impression of being unconcerned, as if nothing mattered to him. Yet, it's precisely this type of person that warrants caution. You have to wonder if such a person is too dangerous. The degree of threat posed by such an individual could be terrifying. Who really knows what he's hiding?

Clearly!

Poseidon had hidden a lot. He was steadily devouring and surpassing others, inching closer to crossing the most difficult threshold. Once he crossed that, Poseidon's future path might become smooth and easy.

Or, perhaps!

Once that step was taken, Poseidon would face endless dangers, perhaps even directly confronting the supreme Absolute God.

However, Poseidon believed that his actions could not be hidden from the Absolute God. Since that was the case, his continuing down this path proved that the Absolute God simply didn't care about what he was doing.

This was Poseidon's choice. He had made his decision and knew he had no other options. This was the road he had chosen, and no matter what, he had no choice but to continue down it.

Hades had already paved his own path. He was the first to be born, and with the unwavering support of Erebus and Nyx, Hades' World Tree had grown to an advanced stage. It could be said that Hades' path was the most legitimate one, free of obstacles. He only needed to walk it step by step.

This was something that no other gods could match. For various reasons, many gods could never have the kind of smooth path Hades had.

And Zeus?

Umm…

Better left unmentioned!

Better left unmentioned!

Zeus, that disgraceful fellow, wasn't worth talking about. He wasn't even something to pay much attention to, as he was not really a significant issue.

In Poseidon's eyes, Zeus wasn't even a consideration. He wasn't worthy of being Poseidon's opponent. His so-called ambition was full of flaws and problems.

All of this was meaningless to Poseidon. In his eyes, only Hades was worthy of being his true rival.

But precisely because of this, Poseidon knew how dangerous Hades truly was. Was it really that easy to deal with such a god?

Of course not!

It was nearly impossible. Hades was too dangerous, and Poseidon knew he wasn't his match.

That's right!

Poseidon had a clear understanding of his own position and strength. He knew there was a gap between him and Hades, and it was a considerable one. This was undeniable.

Because of this, Poseidon had always kept a low profile, hiding everything about himself. He kept calm, like a massive fish lurking beneath the sea, waiting for its prey to come to him.

This was Poseidon's smartest move. Compared to Zeus, who was all bluster and noise, Poseidon was much stronger. This was the key.

Now!

Poseidon had an opportunity—a chance to overtake. He knew he had to seize it. If he let it go, would he ever have another chance to surpass Hades in the future? That would be impossible.

"Everything."

"Everything."

"The Silver Age..."

"That was truly the best era!"

Poseidon's voice was soft, but the very softness showed his deep sincerity. He didn't say much more. He knew what needed to be done, and there was no point in wasting words.

Poseidon had to continue his work; he needed to finish devouring his prey.

...

The Holy War!

As the Holy War fully unfolded, the gods obediently hid themselves. They stayed out of sight, keeping low profiles. None of them wanted to get involved.

No joke! Who knew what could happen next? If something terrible did happen, what were they supposed to do? Risk their lives?

Don't be ridiculous!

None of them wanted to risk their lives. Because of this, every one of them hid, keeping to the shadows, with no intention of peeking out.

After all!

Who could be sure whether the Holy War was just a conflict between the Celestial Realm, the Sea Realm, and the Underworld? Or, was it just an excuse to wipe out other gods? No one knew for sure.

So, staying hidden was definitely the safest course of action. This was beyond question.

Because of this, the gods stayed out of sight. As time went on, battles between the warriors of the Underworld, Sea, and Heaven became more intense, and everything proceeded smoothly.

The expedition led by Sparta moved at an incredible speed, sweeping across the terrestrial realm.

"This is terrifying! When will this war end?"

"Don't ask me!"

"How would I know?!"

"Exactly!"

The gods were all trembling with fear. This was just too frightening. The three realms seemed to be on the verge of tearing the world apart.

If this continued, what would the outcome be?

It wasn't hard to imagine that if things escalated, even the top-tier figures might step in. Just the thought of it made the lower gods tremble. They were just ordinary deities—why was life so difficult for them?

From the era of the Titans to the current age of the three kings, it had been endless war.

Couldn't they get a break? They were truly at their wit's end. If things went on like this, they were going to collapse.
