Chapter 10: The Power of the Underworld – The Steal and the Leap
Scene Opens:
The scene opens with a flashback to the aftermath of their battle with Hades. Himothy and Him stand victorious, their combined strength shattering even the underworld king. However, as the moment of reflection passes, they realize that defeating him was only the beginning. They need more power, and the dominion over death that Hades controlled is too valuable to leave behind.
Himothy: "We've defeated him, but we can still take more. His control over death, his dominion… it could push us beyond any limit we've encountered."
Him: "We've defeated gods, but this… this power is something we cannot ignore."
They agree on one course of action: not only will they defeat Hades, but they will steal his power, adding his dominion over the dead to their ever-growing arsenal.
The Return to the Underworld:
They teleport back to the ruins of Hades' realm. The gates of the underworld stand before them, ominous and dark, waiting for their return.
Himothy: "This time, we take everything. His power will be ours."
Him: "He is nothing but a stepping stone now."
They walk forward, passing through the gates and into the heart of Hades' desolate domain. This time, the ruler of the underworld is waiting for them, no longer kneeling, but standing tall, his eyes filled with defiance.
Hades: "You wish to steal my power, after everything I've shown you? You truly think you can handle it?"
Himothy: "We've learned much from you, Hades. Now it's time to take it all. This is our final test."
The Battle for Hades' Power:
The battle erupts once again. Hades summons an even greater army of souls, their power augmented by his fury. The ground shakes, the sky darkens, and the very fabric of the underworld warps around them. Souls flood the landscape, each more powerful and relentless than before.
Hades: "You cannot escape. You are nothing against the weight of death itself!"
But the duo, now empowered with their new abilities, are ready. Their movements blur with speed as they slice through the army, teleporting with ease, and striking with deadly precision. Each soul they cut down only makes them stronger, more determined.
With each passing moment, Hades' power begins to fade as their attacks chip away at his defenses.
Hades: "No… this cannot be! You will not defeat me again!"
In one final act of desperation, Hades unleashes the full might of the underworld. Souls flood the skies, the very ground cracks beneath the immense weight of death.
Himothy: "No matter how many there are, they are nothing but a fraction of the power we already hold."
Him: "Time to finish this."
The Steal:
In one final, overwhelming attack, the duo unleashes a combined blast of Hakai and death manipulation, erasing every soul Hades summoned and unraveling the underworld itself. The king of death, powerless to stop them, succumbs to their might. His essence is absorbed, his abilities stripped from him.
Hades: "You truly are beyond gods…"
With his final breath, Hades' power is stolen, and the once-mighty king is left powerless.
The Search for the Next Portal:
With the power of the underworld now in their grasp, the duo sets their sights on the next universe. A single thought opens the portal, leading them to the One Piece universe.
Himothy: "The sea awaits. A new world full of pirates, treasures, and adventure. Let's see what we're up against."
Him: "We're not stopping until we've seen it all."
They step through the portal, ready for their next challenge.
