Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 745

Chapter 745: Breaking His Promise

Zeus tried to move, but his body remained frozen.

The sheer weight of his existence made the fabric of time groan.

Even his smallest movement sent ripples through the frozen air.

Yet, he couldn’t do much.

Right now, it had become a battle of quantity versus quality.

Zeus stood at the peak of Stage 6.

Normally, no Stage 5 God could affect him, no matter how strong their techniques were.

But Neo wasn’t using a normal amount of energy.

The amount of energy he poured into his time-stop was enormous, so much that even Zeus was being slowed.

"You think this is enough?" Zeus finally spoke, his tone calm and steady.

His energy began to stir.

A faint pulse shook the frozen field, and cracks appeared in the still air.

Then his energy surged.

Neo’s eyes narrowed as he felt the shift.

"You learned my Loan and can already use it? No... you improved the efficiency of the technique."

He wasn’t shocked.

In fact, he sounded almost impressed.

He still remembered their first fight during the Age of Gods.

Even back then, Zeus had copied his technique and refined it in the middle of battle.

Now, it was happening again.

To use Loan, a being needed to spend a specific amount of energy to draw energy from the future.

The more they spent, the farther into the future they could reach.

Zeus had found a way to reduce the energy needed to go father in the future.

As Zeus’s energy climbed, the air trembled.

He began to move, slowly, one step at a time.

It was like watching a glacier come alive.

He was getting close to breaking Neo’s time prison.

But as seconds passed, Neo’s control tightened.

The frozen world around Zeus began to strengthen, solidifying like layered crystal.

Zeus frowned. He could feel himself slowing again.

"How?" he asked.

"How you can’t break free even though you’re using Loan too? It’s simple. I’m just using more energy."

Neo’s voice was calm, but his eyes glowed faintly.

He wasn’t boasting, just stating facts.

His Cosmos was filled with energy, so were his Nine Heavens, and his countless Devil Wombs.

Unless he had to turn back time for the entire Golden Domain, he wouldn’t run out of energy.

"Now," Neo said, raising his hand. "Off you go."

He flicked his fingers, and Zeus vanished, thrown into Neo’s Shadow Space while staying frozen in time.

"I will deal with you later. I’m busy right now."

Neo exhaled and turned away.

The silence of the void faded as he returned to ship.

Moraine was waiting on the ship.

Its hull had cracked and twisted from the earlier collision.

Neo snapped his fingers, and the ship’s surface smoothed over. Within seconds, it was as if nothing had happened.

"Are you sure you want to keep Zeus in your Shadow Space?" Moraine asked. Her tone carried a hint of concern. "You’ll need to use a lot of energy to keep his time frozen, and the longer your technique goes, the more exponentially will the energy demand rise."

"Don’t worry about it. I have more than enough energy to handle it."

Moraine crossed her arms. "Still, you should be careful. If he wakes up inside your Shadow Space, that’s going to be trouble."

Neo chuckled. "I wonder about that."

He paused, his gaze shifting toward her. "By the way, what was that you used against Zeus? You never told me about that summon, and that thing felt—"

"Neo!"

A sharp voice interrupted him.

Neo turned his head immediately.

He recognized that presence.

From the air, a woman appeared.

Her long black hair flowed behind her like a ribbon of ink, and her blue eyes shimmered faintly like deep water under sunlight.
