Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 742

Chapter 742: Devil Of Cruelty

The ship spun wildly as alarms blared.

Neo braced himself against the controls while Moraine was thrown against her seat.

Before he could speak, a voice echoed through the space.

"The World."

Zeus’ voice.

The surroundings shifted instantly.

Mountains rose from nothing, towering high into the heavens.

In the center stood a mountain so massive that the others looked small.

Its peak was hidden inside thick clouds.

Golden lightning rumbled across the sky.

Neo froze.

He clenched his jaw.

How did we not sense Zeus coming to us?

It made no sense.

Neo’s senses had reached the level of a Stage 6 God.

Even if he admitted that his sensory abilities were only equal to a Grade 4 Stage 6 at best, there was still Moraine.

Her mastery over Fate was refined.

She should have foreseen danger.

And even if she didn’t, the Elementals should have noticed Zeus.

Wait....

Neo realized he had been thinking in the wrong way.

During battles between the Alliance and the Forgotten Suns, both sides had to hide themselves from the Elementals.

If not, information could be leaked to the enemy through the Elementals.

So, both sides must have way to hide from Elementals.

That method would be what Zeus used to attack without warning.

Neo completed this thought in the blink of an eye.

He stepped forward and appeared beside Moraine.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"Yes," she said, pushing herself up. "I was able to get off lightly since the attack wasn’t targeted at me."

"That’s good. Now I’ll send you to my Cosmos so—"

"I will fight with you," she cut in.

Their gazes met.

Neo didn’t argue.

He knew she wouldn’t leave.

And there was no time to fight over it.

He snapped his fingers.

He used all defensive techniques he could use, and made sure she would remain safe.

White wisps of formed around her.

Then Neo looked up at the man floating in the sky.

Zeus stared down at them, calm and confident.

"You’re being awfully patient for someone who did a surprise attack."

Zeus didn’t answer immediately.

He stayed silent for a long moment.

Finally, he spoke.

"The combat strength you can pull is Grade 3 Stage 6. If we fight, you have no chance of winning."

"We’ll see about that."

Neo unsheathed his sword.

Zeus’ aura expanded.

The pressure in the air grew heavy, and crushing.

"Neo Hargraves," Zeus said, "you’ve done a lot of good. That is why I will give you a chance."

He eyes looked down on Neo as if he was confident that he could never lose.

"Retreat. Stop causing chaos in the universe and stay on your planet. If you do that, I will not kill you."

"It’s been thousands of years since we met, but it seems you still have a stick up your ass, uncle."

Zeus didn’t take the bait.

He simply stared, waiting for Neo’s answer.

Their eyes locked.

Neo broke the silence first. "There’s something I’ve always wanted to know. Why did you kill the Gods on Earth? And why are you attacking me now?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Will you retreat if I answer you?"

I’ll kill him, Neo decided.
