Chapter 314

Chapter 314

C314

YuWon had thought of Tartarus as a world for the dead.

A vast ocean composed of mana and numerous souls swimming within it.

YuWon's soul had glimpsed it, dipped a toe into Tartarus, and saw the surface of the world.

However...

Once he fully stepped into Tartarus, everything was completely different from what he had known until then.

Crack, crack...

["The 'King of the Dead' wishes for you to break the wall"]

The true name of the "King of the Dead" that YuWon possessed turned out to be Tartarus.

Tartarus was the King of the Dead. He was the owner of that small world where YuWon found himself; he was the very world itself.

Here, he was like a God.

And YuWon, with the power he possessed, was the same.

The power of the title within Tartarus was absolute.

The cage in front of him was a wall built by Uranus. But with the power he possessed, breaking that wall was not such a difficult task.

Puff-.

The remnants of the cage turned to dust and dispersed.

Uranus's eyes flickered as he saw it, and Chronos and Odin, who held him back, rejoiced internally.

'Good.'

'It's true.'

The cage vanished.

The Giants of Tartarus cheered.

-I can't believe it, it's true...!

-The cage has disappeared!

-We are free!

Thump, thump, thump...

The Giants stepped out with heavy strides.

It was at that moment that Chronos's ability was deactivated...

Whoosh...

Uranus turned his body.

Boom!

A golden lightning bolt burst toward the rushing Giants.

The Giants were pushed like waves. Although some Giants managed to resist, Uranus's lightning was too powerful to be endured by the body alone.

However...

-Uranus!

-There's Uranus!

-Kill him!

The number of Giants was not just one or two.

Thump, thump, thump...

The disappearance of the cage and the Giants that opened their eyes in the darkness were like a great wave.

It was unknown from where they had emerged, but with clubs the size of their forearms gripped in their hands, they charged toward Uranus.

YuWon felt the momentum of the Giants passing by his side.

Countless years had passed, difficult to measure in time.

The accumulated resentment during those long years could not be simply judged by levels or values of Arcane Power.

"It has finally come to this."

Thud...

Chronos approached YuWon's side.

While his gaze remained fixed on the Giants, he spoke with a concerned voice.

"The victory or defeat in this fight is no longer as important."

The frenzied cries of the Giants resonated in his ears. The Giants moved driven by their desire for revenge against Uranus and Olympus.

Even if Uranus won this fight.

Once the Giants were out of Tartarus, bloodshed would reign once more.

But...

"Don't worry."

YuWon thought Chronos's concern was unwarranted.

"How can I not worry..."

"They can't leave anyway."

"What?"

Chronos seemed baffled, as if he didn't understand what that meant.

Unfortunately, there was no way to answer that question. YuWon also didn't have a clear way to explain it.

'Alive, but not really alive.'

That's what YuWon saw in their eyes.

The King of the Dead. The souls of the Giants trapped in Tartarus.

'Foolish and wretched souls who believe they're still alive.'

Once the Giants were trapped in Tartarus, there was no way for them to leave. They were already dead.

Tartarus was a refuge for the dead. The time the living could spend here did not even exceed a day.

The Giants had been trapped here for thousands of years.

They were already on the border between the living and the dead.

Unless the King of the Dead in Tartarus allowed it, there was no way for them to leave of their own volition.

Uranus's arrival in Tartarus walking on his own was a unique opportunity for the Giants.

'Susanoo.'

Thrrr, thrrr-.

Uranus's magic crackled, creating a net.

The net entangled the Giants. At the same time, Odin's spear flew towards Uranus, aiming for his head once again.

At that moment...

Crack-.

Uranus firmly held the spear flying towards him and returned it to Odin with all his strength.

Bang!

"...!"

Odin's body staggered as he narrowly dodged the spear. It would have been a tragedy if he had been a little slower and lost his life on his own spear.

But the calmness lasted only for a moment.

"First...".

Right in front of him, Uranus reached out his hand.

"I'll devour you."

Crash-!

"Kuck!"

Gripped by the throat, Odin was slammed into the ground. He felt Uranus's hand tightening, experiencing such intense pain that it seemed his neck would break at any moment.

He had to free himself.

But he simply couldn't do it in any way.

It wasn't just because Uranus's power was strong.

'Arcane Power...'

Odin's Arcane Power hadn't moved from the moment he was in Uranus's clutches.

What the hell?

A question mark formed in his mind. As he ascended along the arm gripping his neck, he could see Uranus's face.

His eyes gleamed violet.

Every time he used magic, he felt his Arcane Power being absorbed through his hands.

At that moment...

Bang!

A Giant's fist slammed down on Uranus's head. A water barrier protected Uranus's head, but it only lasted an instant.

The barrier protecting his body broke. Uranus no longer had time or space to hold onto Odin's neck.

The fist didn't stop with just one hit.

Crack!

"Guh!"

Odin spat blood from his mouth from the punch that struck his body. It was such a powerful blow that it felt like his back would break.

-You move quite well to dodge punches.

"You're slow."

-We'll see how long your arrogant mouth can keep yapping.

Thud.

The Giants weren't afraid.

No.

Anger consumed their fear. They moved solely in search of revenge against Uranus.

As if that was the sole meaning of their existence up until now.

"What a headache."

And this madness was precisely what worried Uranus the most.

Those beings who weren't afraid of death were much more dangerous than their original power.

The Giants before him were blinded by the desire for vengeance, having been betrayed by Uranus and imprisoned in Tartarus.

"The dinner I was expecting has turned into a disaster."

But it didn't matter.

Either way, they would all enter his belly.

He would devour them all, sating himself on them.

What he desired to have would soon be in his hands, in the not too distant future.

And so, it began.

Gulp-.

Before them stood the largest Giant.

"For now, just one."

Creak-.

Something opened deep within Uranus. A strong appetite surged, and Uranus's pupils turned completely violet.

It was at that moment that Uranus attempted to move...

Crack-.

Something grabbed his foot and wouldn't let go.

They were heavy and powerful claws.

"This is...".

Uranus looked down and saw the hands gripping his foot.

Thousands, tens of thousands of tormented souls.

They clutched Uranus's foot and dragged him towards Tartarus.

And in that precise moment when he discovered it...

"What have you done?"

In Uranus's eyes appeared the one who had become the King of this world.
