Chapter 7 - Outcome

Hades woke up in a cave and looked around in panic, but a smooth, calm voice said, "No need to panic, you are in my domain." 

Hades looked to where the voice came from to see a beautiful woman with green hair and a curvaceous body that could break even the strongest wills. Her green eyes hold a wisdom made from ages and power in its purest form. Hades' mind immediately knew who this was: Gaia, mother of all. He then said, "Why did you rescue me?"

"That is a very unique way to say thank you." She said with a smile, which did not reflect on Hades as he said 

"People don't go around helping each other for thank you's. Now tell me, why did you rescue me?"

"*sigh* Yes, I rescued you because I have something only you can do," Gaia said in exasperation.

"What is it?" Hades said, standing up, because of the infinite body and Limitless Progression, not only is he now immune to divine light, but also completely healed. Gaia, for all her wisdom, was also shocked when she found his body completely healed, but only emotionally exhausted. So, she just hid him here until he woke up, just a day later. 

"I want you to help my children, who are trapped under Uranus and Cronus' rule," Gaia said, but Hades interrupted

"Ok, I was planning on freeing them anyway, but I will require them to craft weapons for me."

"Ok, thank you. I will be opening a portal to Tartarus now." Gaia said, a little surprised at the quick response, but she understood that her son's craft was required by Hades if he wanted to overthrow Cronus. Just as she said this, divine energy swirled in existence as a portal was opened from which came toxic air, which hurt even the greatest divine being unless they were powerful enough to resist it. Hades, however, just powered through the pain as if it didn't bother him. 

'Of course, he doesn't feel any pain. He was born into pain, but willed through it, unlike his other sibling, who was too weak-willed to even stay conscious. Even Rhea, a titan, was put to sleep due to the pain. Then, after his escape, the only person he ever loved was also stolen from him, after which he had to fight a titan in the most brutal fight since the beginning of the world. I should be more surprised if he couldn't handle the pain' Gaia thought, as she pitied Hades, who was just 22 years old, a child in terms of immortal being age.

"Don't worry, I will get them back," Hades said, mistaking her pity for worry, as he jumped into he stepped into the portal and started to freefall down into Tartarus. Gaia closed the portal behind her as she sighed.

As for the world when Hades went into death, let's just say that it was chaos. Everyone had a different reaction to this fight, due to the Akashic records, which are essentially a place where all of the world's most important things are recorded. Has taken a particular interest in this fight, titling it 'The most brutal fight to have taken place since the beginning of Greek'. Most people didn't know what Greek was since the age of man had not yet come, thus they just called it the world, which in an odd sense was right.

"Did you hear about the most brutal fight in the world? It was against the eldest child of Cronus, Hades, and Hyperion, the light of Heaven," A minor divine said

"Yes, it was brutal. It was so brutal that even Iapetus had to turn his eyes away, and he is the titan of Violence. Heck, some gods vomited blood and refused to fight after seeing that fight." Another said.

Meanwhile, most of the deities decided to just quit after seeing the fight. It instilled fear into their hearts, which will likely not be shaken by just words. Cronus' army saw a small boost in its size because some of them were disgusted by the brutality of Hades. The resistance nearly doubled its size because the vast majority of them feared that if they were to stay neutral in this war, and by chance the gods won, then Hades might also kill them with the opposing side. 

Now, both the resistance and the army of Cronus were nearly equal in size, with Cronus' army just being slightly better than the resistance. There was no all-out war yet since both sides wanted the war to start. One out of fear, and the other because their leader is missing. That was another thing surprising about Hades that he just disappeared after fighting such a battle. With how fast he regenerated his wounds, he probably had a chance to win against Krios, too, since he was the closest general to the area. They didn't see the annihilation of Ela since the records only record the important details. 

Back with Hades, he landed with a massive shockwave in Tartarus. The river of blood, flesh, and bones was pushed so much that it caused a massive tsunami to hit the entirety of Tartarus. The river, which was now a wave, spread across the mostly empty Tartarus, drenching everything in its path with red blood that burned their skin away. Meanwhile, Hades himself was not harmed and safely stepped out. He felt the air, land, and everything in Tartarus was meant to make him feel pain. 

He, however, felt none. He had already felt too much pain for anything in this world to even give him pain, thus he pressed forward with no difficulty, pushing winds as he flew at speed, reaching 20 times the speed of sound. Everything here was nearly 10 times that of natural earth since here gravity and air resistance are higher. He flew in a direction where he felt the sign of divine energy, not powerful but enough to outline the body which was that was a tall man and a creature with a hundred arms. This was Hecatonchires and cyclops, no one cared enough to memorize their names, just like Hades.
