Chapter 126: Brothers (2)

Zeus' memories were shattered as he wasn't in a proper version like Hades. n/-O-/v((e))l)(b(-I/(n

While Hunter had a proper inheritance and memories within himself that had given him a lot of strength to match Zeus' fragment's might, Zeus searched his memories to find the reason for his brother's hatred. He quickly came to understand that he was just a mere fragment and that something must have caused him to be weaker.

But that didn't change his love for Hades.

At least this fragment of memories had the early years of their brotherhood. He couldn't find anything but love and their struggles to become divinities. It didn't mean his power of lightning was gone.

"I will have to put you in your place, Hades. I'm your big brother, after all," Zeus smiled, raising his hand. Thunder and lightning cracked from his palm, quickly spreading across the white clouds. All demons and monsters dwelling within those clouds that had survived Celestia's assault were struck by that power.

They hadn't died, however.

Their forms started changing.

It went without saying that demons and monsters who could accompany the lord demons were humanoid and closer to them than anyone else. But once they were struck with that lightning, all demon powers evaporated into nothingness, turning them into angels.

Men and women alike turned into handsome and beautiful existences with fluffy white wings flapping behind them. The sun was no longer a trouble to them, for all that hung in the heavens belonged to Zeus. There was no exception to that rule. The bright wave of the new army had warded off all demon lords who couldn't believe their eyes.

They ran off to the side, for the ground was also no longer open for them.

Standing on the silver soil, Hunter had opened Erebus Gate, ushering the silver desert from his inheritance to the withered domain. From those sands, skeletons of various existences, including animals, monsters, demi-humans, humans, giants, and more, had emerged, howling.

He swept his hand, forming Blood Origins above him. Countless thick red orbs coalesced around him, each extending tendrils of blood to the skeletons.

"Death's Honor," Hunter muttered. He didn't say what type of undead he wanted to create, for right now, he had everything unlocked. He would just create every type of undead he had under himself. In the blink of an eye, skeletons began getting weaved with tendons, blood, and flesh. The flesh varied, for some turned into rotten undead, and some were as pale and smooth as humans.

Some turned into ghosts, too.

Nakisha and Brandi had come out from Hunter's world as well. They were behind him in their maid uniforms.

"Get Celestia," Hunter ordered. Nakisha couldn't be more glad to excel in her entire power. Now that Hunter had become this strong, she indeed could showcase the extent of her potential. Brandi was the same, but she was more loyal than thrilled to fight the miracle of spirits and demons.

She followed her master's order, disappearing from the scene.

Left alone, Hunter summoned his Lord Of Underground Robes from his inheritance. It was a black robe with his emblem on the back of it. It was quite long, however, and it swayed on the silver desert like a snake. Hunter's strength surged.

He glared up, ready to deal with Zeus.

Zeus chuckled, "Off I go, Hades!"

The defying thunder roared across the heavens. All angels turned into lightning bolts that descended onto the undead monsters whose forms were already stretching toward the skies to bring those bastards to the ground. They met in the middle, shaking the entire domain.

Zeus tore like a meteor, heading straight for his brother. No undead would ever be able to stop this charge, so Hunter didn't even bother wasting his forces. He used the divine might to lift himself off the ground and flew at Zeus in a bold move to intercept him in the middle.

Their fists met.

And only one had his arm cracking open with flesh blossoming to expose bones—Zeus.

He was shocked by it for a mere second before turning the swirling blood around him into lightning bolts. He sent them straight for Hunter's eyes. Alas, Hunter's blood turned into roses, which gobbled up all lightning. It was still lightning of the divine god, so their forms unfortunately dispersed.

But Hunter was still intact and smiling.

He threw another punch, once again tearing through Zeus' flesh. The same attack followed, but with fewer lightning bolts, for Zeus stopped trying to rely on quantity and increased his quality instead. All those thick bolts were devoured by Hunter's cold blood.

The exchange carried on.

Brothers threw punches and kicks at themselves, each beefed up by their elements. Hunter had lots of coldness and blood dancing around him, while Zeus had speed and lightning hurtling against his foe. Alas, the former didn't mean anything, as Hunter still could read Zeus just fine.

All attempts to wound him ended up with his blood moving around him like a protective snake to devour Zeus' elements. Even better, Hunter's undead had already grasped most of the angels and threw them onto the ground to pluck out their wings. They trampled on them, ending their lives.

Up above, the battle between brothers was slowly turning one-sided.

Which was a development no one could really be surprised about.

After all, Zeus was just a mere fragment of his power. It was a fragment that Celestia had found in this world and saved as a trump card to deal with demons and anyone threatening her life. On the other hand, Hunter had reincarnated with the entire of his inheritance.

His undead monsters came from better and more developed worlds as well. It was all because Hades wielded the power of Death. The power that had allowed him to mess up with other divinities after they had killed themselves in the divine war!

For eons and even more, he was not much mentioned at all.

His brothers and other divinities were gathering praises and kept raising their fame across the world. They were respected, loved, and honored by everyone. And they reciprocated those feelings appropriately with their servants, but not Hades.

He was left alone in the underground, convinced that this was how it should be.

No normal person could be in the underground except for his pet, whom he had unfortunately lost.

That conviction had hushed up Hades' real feelings—the feelings of loneliness. He never wanted to be alone.

It wasn't like he wanted to be praised and surrounded by servants, nor did he want a harem like his brothers. All he wanted was... just a few precious people that would make his life merrier. The presence that would keep him from turning mad, only to realize he was the one wrong all the time.

"H-Hades... why?" Zeus asked, his handsome face swollen and drenched in blood. The same went for his body, which had bruises, rippled flesh, and exposed bones. He was sparkling with lightning bolts because his blood carried the very core of this element, but he was by no means able to defeat Hunter.

In a way, it could be said that Hunter was born to overwhelm all those divine fragments and end the era of gods for once. After all, his real desire was quite mortal-like, and he wanted to have a family. It was similar to shedding his divinity.

"You don't want to kill me, that's first," Hunter said, "You want to put me in the proper place, but only I know what I truly want and where I belong. Second, you had your time already. A really good time, right? Time to sleep for an eternity, Zeus. The universe's just fine without gods."

"I can't understand you," Zeus replied, his eyes narrowing with hatred. Even with such a beaten face, he was still looking quite intimidating.

Alas, Hunter only saw a dead man—at least a fragment of him dead.

"Yes, we're brothers. But when push comes to shove, we are at each other's threats. That's how it is," Hunter smiled, raising his hand, "Hellmouth!"

Hunter spread his palm wide, and an image of hell's mouth appeared on it. It expanded to swallow Zeus in its entirety. Since he was so defeated, Hunter easily sealed him within his place. Then, he sent his consciousness there and used his powers to erase that fragment all for once.

Zeus was not needed.

And so, the first fragment shattered and died.

A sense of satisfaction swelled within him now that he had done it.

Soon, Hunter returned back to his body and looked around.

The threat of Zeus was gone.

But his powers still remained activated.

No one could threaten him.

Celestia was also busy with Nakisha and Brandi, so Hunter turned to demons and cast them a bright smile.

"Give me Asmodeus, and then you're all free to go."

Without saying anything, all demon lords united against Asmodeus, kicking him away from their group as though he was trash.

And well, trash he was.

"You fucking bastards!"

"Hellmouth!"

"Shit! You! All of you! Fuck you! Let me tell you something! I fucked all your women at least once! Haha! Have them tell you how great I was and how they screamed how much better I am than all of you!"

"Fucking lustful dog! You think we haven't had a share of your demonesses?!"

"The demonesses that you loved and never shared with anyone! Guess who had filled them when you were busy with some cheap mortals?!"

"You treasured them, maybe even loved them, yet we passed them along like they were the dirtiest of the sluts! Serves you right, dipshit! Have fun in—" a demon lord tried to say Hades' name but ended up getting a headache. He smiled and just dropped a middle finger at Asmodeus.

"I WILL RETURN TO KILL YOU!" Asmodeus roared!

"COME! I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF!"

"Nah, I will!"

And with that, everyone bid farewell.
