Chapter 125: Brothers (1)

As Celestia had taken the same height level as the demons, the latter unfolded their defensive formations in preparation for her move. They were confident to block whatever she would release at them and then return to their lands through the black hole carved behind them.

Celestia's strength was also not what anyone had ever expected.

As the sun shone above them, her sun spirit bloodline was growing hotter and hotter. She was also bringing the sun closer to herself, making it into an imminent threat. It soon would kindle the entire domain in flames, further strengthening her bloodline and strength.

Her demonic bloodline also went mad, forming wind black winds rolling across the clouds. Should the sharp wind and the sun's prowess blend together, her power would eclipse everyone gathered at the scene.

However, the numbers were still against her. In addition to demons, humans weren't on Celestia's side as well. All of them would stop her from causing more chaos. Also, it was the union's domain, and the life of the elven spirit was at stake now that she had exposed so much power.

If the domain were to disappear, The First Hunter Union would lose their sturdiest protection and would be exposed to monsters, demons, and other threats wanting to gobble up their power!

That was bad, yet Celestia didn't seem to care about it.

As the sun had grown larger, her first move was to seal the black hole. The sunlight poured into it, going through the demon's defensive formation like a laser. It burned through their defenses, then sealed the black hole by simply filling it with too much hotness.

She distorted the space! Worse, as the sun provided so much nutrients to the forest, she had also taken control of it, taking over the mountain proudly perched in this domain. In truth, that tall mountain was a sheathe of the elven spirit's world tree, which Celestia wanted to use to kill all demons gathered here.

'Sorry, Charlotte, but this is a chance I can't let slip by,' Celestia whispered in her heart.

The World Tree elongated from within the mountain, tearing through the grounds. It rose and rose toward the sun as though desperately yearning for it.

Which was the reason the elven spirit was so shocked to find out that Celestia had the sun spirit bloodline! Those spirits had an absolute advantage over elves, and she alone couldn't seize back control over her own domain!

All was in Celestia's hands right now.

"In this form, all my skills are SSS. Lucifer is gone, and so is my mother. I have their inheritances within me, making me the second strongest here," Celestia declared to the demons and humans. The former was trying to protect themselves against the sun by moving the clouds, which were inhabited by demons and monsters subservient to them. nOve-Lb-1n

The latter was just bemused by this might of power.

'She's the second strongest? Who's the first?' Everyone thought.

Meanwhile, the wind and sun power blended and worked in tandem to get into the clouds. The wind tore through the clouds with its sharpness and hotness, and then blazing sunshine streamed in to kill all demons. All seemed to go according to Celestia's wish, but she knew that the demon lords weren't so easy to kill.

All of them were about to unleash their might and oppose her.

Which they did, creating an outburst of purple mana. Their wings heightened, warding off all wind and sunshine. For a moment, darkness flickered in the domain, only to be overwhelmed by the sun again. Their mana was still in the zone; the demons sent their remarkable skills at Celestia in their own shapes.

Whips, heads of creatures of hell, swords, and more were zooming at her.

Celestia fended them off with a combination of wind and sun.

At the same time, she used her free hand to take out an element that turned Hunter's blood cold. The madness' screams reached their highest when Celestia took that out.

That item was a lightning bolt. She, for a second, doubted her choice but then threw that lightning bolt into the World Tree, allowing it to sink into the tree.

A moment later, the world tree withered. It was so full of vitality and power, yet whatever was now lodged within it had stolen all of it in a mere second. The elven spirit had also lost her life because of her connection to it; her life force was now in someone else's hands.

That change hadn't stopped on the tree and the elf. Next, the mountain lost all colors. It became gray and lifeless, with silver dust rolling on its form. Trees and the rest of the domain soon followed suit, changing the entire vibrant forest into a withered land.

Before long, the lightning bolt soared to the skies in thunder. It easily tore through the demon's defenses that were on its way. The lighting bolt shone golden before dispersing into a man with a muscular and chiseled body. A white vesture went down his left shoulder to his knees, forming a unique robe that didn't cover much of his form.

He had golden hair and blue eyes sparkling with lightning.

This man, who appeared to be only in his early twenties, had drowned the entire crumbling domain in his presence. He suffocated demons and humans, and even Celestia found it hard to float in the same skies as him. She needed to expose her demonic wings and rely on them instead of wind skills to stay afloat.

Asmodeus whispered, "You gotta be shitting me." He knew this man.

And he hated him, for he was known to have more women than anyone else in the entire universe. The best of the best was in his harem eons ago, and he was one of the three highest divinities. He was a part of The Highest Order that formed the universe and allowed it to function like it was meant to be.

His name, however, still couldn't be said by him.

The rest of the demon lords thought the same. Their hopes weren't utterly crushed, however. That man was doubtless dead, and his strength, albeit higher than theirs, was not what it used to be. It meant that he was at least a part of himself, and the chance to survive was still there...

The man's eyes sparkled as he sensed something.

Ignoring all demons and humans looking his way, he cast his gaze onto the ground on which a young man with silver hair and shocking similar eyes stood. Those eyes held coldness.

The coldness that was so familiar and lovely.

Lightning in his eyes sparkled more, and he coated himself with them, too, as his excitement rose.

"Hades..." the man said, taking in the sight of his brother.

On the ground, with the madness invading him with memories of the past and his inheritance turning cold, Hunter gritted his teeth and uttered the name only he could, "Zeus."

The Black Castle in Hunter's World shook.

The Emblem etched on the skies shone.

The Mountains trembled.

And skeletons of the silver desert emerged from the depths, howling.

The Madness' Origin flashed in Hunter's mind.

It came to exist after Hades was met with a cruel truth. His two brothers, Lord Of Heavens and Lord Of Waters, Zeus and Poseidon, had become deities worshiped throughout the entire universe. Their powers were essential for everyone to live, so most turned to them as though that was natural.

The third brother, Lord Of Underground, was said to own death and give people new lives. Since people were dying and getting conceived in millions every second across the entire universe, it might have seemed that he would be worshiped and feared as much as his brothers.

The difference was that Zeus and Poseidon were active in people's lives.

On the other hand, people hardly could remember Hades and his underground.

When the lesser gods had started their schemes and shared more and more of their secrets with the mortals, the wars between divinities and their servants erupted.

More and more conceited souls stepped into the underground.

At some point...

"Bring me to Lord Zeus!"

"Have been Lord Poseidon's loyal servant for years! I must be by his side again! Guide me to Lord Poseidon now!"

"Reincarnate me!"

"Give me a second life in Lord Zeus' presence!"

No one paid any respect to Hades, and more and more began to order him in his own place.

When Hades had taken a voyage to the worlds of divinities, he realized that even the lesser gods hadn't paid any respect to him. Only Zeus and Poseidon's lands had some mentions of him, but those were only to encourage their servants to die for them, for the person responsible for Death was their brother.

That seemed to have reached other divinities and their servants, and they started to believe that return was but given.

That was all.

On that day, Hades developed madness.

He joined the war between the gods.

And his laws were buried deep within his soul.

At some point, he calmed down and realized that it was all their brothers' fault. He then blamed himself for not staying relevant outside his underground as much as he should have. Only a few had received his blessings through Death's Honor, after all, and that wasn't even a mere drop compared to the sea of influence Poseidon had or the heavens of influence Zeus wielded.

He was late in his realization, however.

And so he had taken his victims' souls to his souls and began what only he could.

Reincarnation.

The rest of the gods turned their souls into items, scattering them across the worlds.

Which was the reason spirits and demons had taken over the world.

It was funny, however.

"To think that a bastard child had scored the divine item first," Hunter, with Hades and his madness memories filling him up, muttered. "Servants of divinities that now deem themselves spirits and demons are sore losers. Nothing seems to have changed. Zeus,"

Hunter continued, "I don't want you to be back, Zeus. The universe seems just fine without us. Erebus Gate!"

The battle between the brothers began.
