Chapter 340: Hades Takes Another Step Forward, Approaching the Peak of a God-King!

Moirae, Ceres, and Karl.

The birth of three God-Kings.

The creation of three new hells.

And this!

The feedback these events brought to the Underworld was immense. At the same time, the feedback was also absorbed by the World Tree, which continued to grow and elevate itself. The entire Underworld was visibly rising in strength at an astonishing rate.

Yet, this feedback, in some sense, was merely a small-scale improvement. While it undoubtedly enhanced the Underworld, these improvements had not yet reached their true limit.

Quite the contrary.

The real breakthrough was yet to come! The Underworld would undergo even greater enhancement, directly affecting Hades. When the Underworld's growth fed back into Hades himself, that would mark the true ascension.

In the Pure Land of Bliss.

Hades sat on his throne, feeling the infinite divine power surging into his divine body. The power, which had long stagnated, was now advancing rapidly, and this growth was terrifying in its sheer magnitude. Just feeling this surge of divine power was enough to sense the overwhelming force contained within it.

"..."

In the silence, Hades slowly opened his eyes. A boundless calm seemed to resonate in the hearts of everyone around him, as though the entire Underworld felt the endless divine power, which seemed ready to devour everything in its path.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

All the gods of the Underworld knelt respectfully, sensing the power of their lord, Hades. Their loyalty was unquestionable, their devotion evident in the face of this immense strength.

Hades gradually opened his eyes, and the divine power instantly receded, restoring peace to the surroundings. It was as if nothing had happened, though the remnants of the immense power still left a lingering sense of destruction.

"A God-King..."

Hades reined in all the power around him, a new understanding dawning within his mind.

The path of a God-King!

Hades had truly reached the pinnacle of it. Yes, he had reached the absolute peak of being a God-King. He could now fully sense the infinite divine power that came with this achievement, representing the zenith of a God-King's might.

At this moment.

Hades truly understood the enormous gap between one God-King and another. The disparity was so vast that it could only be described as the difference between heaven and earth. The gulf between them was so great that it seemed capable of swallowing everything in its path.

The difference was so immense that it was hard to comprehend or even put into words.

If you haven't reached this level yourself, it's impossible to truly grasp just how overwhelming this power is, or how terrifying it can be. Only by attaining this level can one understand the magnitude of the power contained within it.

And now, Hades had reached this level. He fully realized just how astonishing the power he now wielded was.

"The peak of a God-King."

"This divine power..."

Hades' voice was soft. At this moment, he not only felt the terrifying power of reaching the pinnacle of a God-King, but he also understood what it meant to wield the power of a God-King.

God-King!

God-King!

It's just two simple words, but if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you'll never comprehend the sheer strength these two words represent. The power they imply is beyond imagination, and the gap they reveal is truly staggering.

The true nature of the differences between God-Kings was laid bare.

Hades and Aether were both at the God-King level, but for Hades, someone like Aether? 

One strike!

No exaggeration.

It would only take a single strike to utterly defeat him. It was that simple. No further explanation or embellishment was needed—just one blow would be enough to end the battle. Does it seem too easy?

But that's the truth. The power difference was so vast that just contemplating it made the gap clear.

Hades calmed his thoughts, softly muttering, "The difference between God-Kings also proves how vast the gap is between a God-King and an Ancient God."

Hades could see it—the gap was far too large.

Now that he had truly reached the peak of a God-King, Hades fully understood the staggering difference between God-Kings. He also realized the immense gap between a God-King and an Ancient God.

Though it seemed like he was just one step away from being an Ancient God, that single step felt insurmountable. The disparity it represented was enough to inspire endless dread and defy imagination. It was impossible to truly fathom just how vast this gap was.

This unfathomable difference weighed heavily on every god. Just looking at it caused a sense of collapse, let alone actually stepping into that realm.

So...

When you finally experience it firsthand, the enormity of the gap becomes even more daunting.

It's unimaginable!

Yes!

It's truly beyond imagination. The difference is just too vast.

Hades whispered softly, "Father, how did you so easily take that step into becoming an Ancient God back then?"

Of course.

Hades also knew that Kronos' path had not been simple. Quite the opposite—it had been incredibly difficult. However! What Kronos showed to others was only his moment of success.

No one knew what Kronos had gone through before his success. That's why it seemed as though Kronos had effortlessly gained such incredible power.

But in reality!

Anyone with even a little understanding would know that it had never been easy. The ascension and transformation of a god is never a simple matter. Quite the contrary, it's an incredibly difficult path—one as hard as ascending to the heavens.

Only now, as Hades stood at this point, did he fully comprehend just how difficult that journey was.

Nevertheless.

Hades remained calm and composed, collecting his thoughts. Impatience? Anxiety? No! No! For Hades, these emotions would only serve as stepping stones, pushing him to become even stronger.
