Chapter 1002: Chapter 421 “Thunder Pool

The conversation with Styx turned out to be an unexpected event, yet upon reflection, it also seemed quite reasonable.

After all, the world does not revolve around any one person, and as one of the only three deities in the vast Underworld with partial control over the domain, the River of Vows naturally craved greater strength.

It was also no surprise why Styx had sought out the Great Serpent’s incarnation, for she was the only one that the other side could communicate with.

Such matters involving the transfer of Divine Power Level strength certainly could not be entrusted to a being who hadn’t even reached the status of a True God.

As for Hell’s current power supply, it might be enough for the few partitioned Lords, but there was no extra strength to create new Divine Level Great Devils.

Under the circumstances where the limited power was each assigned its own duty, either presiding over affairs in the Mortal Realm or commanding armies in the Asura Field, or still trapped in the Land of Eternal Night, the Eight-Armed Snake Demon split from the Great Serpent had, in recent years, become the only quasi-god existence from Hell that Styx had seen.

Thus, Styx naturally did not hesitate to choose this demon masquerading as a devil, even though she was not aware that it was actually an incarnation of the Great Divine Power of Hell.

“…To show my sincerity, before meeting with Hell’s Monarch, I shall tell you another matter concerning the Underworld.”

“In recent years, the Origin of the Underworld has been in constant turmoil. This interface, which is partially independent from the material world, has substantially intensified, and the domain of the Underworld that I control has also significantly strengthened.”

With an indifferent expression, Styx calmly recounted the changes in the Underworld. But the Great Serpent was disinterested.

On one hand, it was because it currently had no interest in the Underworld, and on the other, due to the Underworld’s unique situation.

This interface, mixed among the Four Great Primordial Gods, different from starry skies and seas, and with its semi-independent spacetime, was able to give birth to its own Interface Power.

However, the mixture of such great strengths also meant that the Underworld lacked a real substantial entity, making it impossible for it to condense a complete symbol for itself.

If the conventional myths of the Underworld could still barely struggle and aspire, attempting to reach into the domains of ‘afterlife’ and ‘soul’s final resting place’, and thereby further perfect the concept by creating Purgatory to punish the wicked and the ‘Elysian Garden’ to reward the righteous, becoming a significant part in the cycle within Chaos, the current Underworld had lost even that ability.

The Underworld was merely a transit for souls, not a final destination; the three Judges of the Underworld that rewarded good and punished evil had ascended as Heroic Spirits, not struggling for survival within the netherworld.

Wraiths might be considered a path, but unless Hades could find another channel for the birth of wraiths beyond the Nether Moon, his efforts would also be meaningless, which is why no one had ever contested with him for dominion over the wraiths.

Under these circumstances, the prospectless ascent to a grand Underworld was not even worth the Great Serpent’s consideration.

Under absolute power, all schemes are meaningless.

“I understand, it’s not just the Underworld; the Abyss is the same.”

“The world’s power is rising, so every part of it is lifted along with the tide—so this is what you wanted to tell me?”

“Of course not.” Seeing through the Great Serpent’s indifference, Styx slowly shook her head: “Indeed, the Origin of the Underworld is rising with the world’s strengthening, but aside from that, other forces have also flowed into the Underworld’s Origin… However, that too is not what I want to say.”

“What I really want to tell you is that these ‘other’ forces that have flowed into the Underworld, they haven’t truly remained within the Underworld’s Origin, but have been transferred elsewhere by the ruler bestowed by Olympus, Hades.”

“Although I do not know what exactly he wants to do, as neighbors of the Abyss, you might find his movements of interest.”

“Transferred?”

“How do you know this?”

The Great Serpent’s mind stirred, not expecting such a piece of news.

It seemed Liana had never mentioned this in the Spirit Realm, and if the Nether Moon had not noticed such things, could the Styx River really achieve this?

“How I know is irrelevant to you.”

“If the subsequent cooperation truly materializes, then it will not be too late to discuss the specifics.”

Styx, standing on the river water, coldly declined to explain.

Indeed, by rights, she should not have known this matter, and what Hades did was quite secretive.

Yet as the original river of the Underworld, Styx had some sensing of the other Styx rivers, however slight, including the half River of Oblivion that meandered above the Underworld land; it was through this that she detected some clues.

But there was no need to tell the being before her of such things; after all, their cooperation was still only on paper, and Styx’s so-called reminder merely demonstrated her value.

“Very well, if that’s the case, then as you wish.”

With a slight nod, understanding the other’s intentions, the Great Serpent did not press further.

When she became a new member of Hell, it would eventually come to know the details.

Generally, it was still inclined to accept Styx’s proposition, but it had other ideas about how specifically to implement it.

For example, this union of powers could have more participants, thereby completing the missing piece of its puzzle.

Additionally, considering the current relationship with Hades was relatively insignificant for it… So instead of focusing on Hades’s minor activities, the Great Serpent was more interested in finding the incarnation of Zeus that had breached into the Abyss.
