—A power that far transcended the limits of human capabilities.

[Divinity] meant that the possessor of this title can use [Divine Power] which no mortals could ever do.

Only Gods, deities and celestial beings can do it and achieve the realm of [Divinity]. For a mortal to defeat those who possess it are nothing but pinhole impossibility.

With abilities and power that reach nearly beyond the scope of mortal imagination, the splendor of those who possess [Divinity] humbles even the greatest of all heroes.

—-for Hein to possess it, no one knows why…

Right now, Hein’s real power is equivalent to that of a quasi-deity or a demi-god.

Hein’s attack had almost knocked Hades out; he was still able to stand firmly on his feet by bringing all the strength and will power in his body to focus on the present.

“You bastard! As I thought you’re …!”

Hades grabbed Hein’s wrist and exerted pressure on it. However, Hein’s wrist didn’t tremble even one bit as his eyes radiating an intense killing intent.

This guy! I will kill him! Kill! Kill! Kill!!!

One could say that Hein have almost lost his senses on anger as he also grab Hades wrist and swung it down.

The impact which was strong enough to shake the Heavens caused the ground to shatter and formed a depression.

The damage was also so deep that it was enough to destroy the palace building.

Having lost all his control in his fit of rage, Hein continued to pursue Hades to launch a flurry of attacks; seemingly forgotten the people in the surroundings.

He who usually spared a thought to avoid posing a hazard to others had now unshackled himself from thoughts of restrain.

The reason for him to abandon his beliefs and self-restrain could only be that one reason.

—To release the pent up frustration caused by the death of a very important friend and family. To exact the right revenge to the one who killed them!

Hein gave a dragon-like roar as he confirmed the bloodied corpse of Hell with his teary eyes while engaging in a melee with Hades. Tears scattered in the wind, accompanied by the cold breeze.

“This… This looks bad!”

In order for them not to be involved accidentally, Leviana and the others hurriedly carried Draig and escaped.

Princess Aura had also pulled Mifuelle to run away but her heart was still in turmoil.

Not just her but also the people who witnessed Hein’s fit of rage, for this was the first time that they had seen Hein in this state; especially Leviana who couldn’t help but to draw a sharp intake of breath while she watched his beloved son raging.

“This… This is really…”

“…. really angry.”

Most of them had long lost the sense of urgency.

An enraged Hein looks as if he was more than enough to deal with the Black haired youth; Hades.

Hein’s flurry of attacks devastated more than just the palace grounds as the damage ran all the way to the city houses, destroying it in the process.

The force of his kick and punch, the slash of his sword, the whip of his fiery tail and wings, all held power to reduce a building to a pile of rubbles.

Just these attacks felt as if a violent typhoon came to cause destruction.

Hein took a step forward with the intention to continue with his attacks as his face was still contorted with anger and sadness.

The corner of his bloodshot eyes was filled with sorrowful tears.

Hades lifted his head to fix a look at Hein—when he suddenly grinned.

Taken aback, Hein stopped his advances.

“As I thought, you were alive–no, you were reborn, Clown of the Gods~”

CHILLS….

Hades glared towards Hein.

His black eyes which looks like it can devour anyone who reflected on it were staring directly at him.

Hearing Hades words, Hein couldn’t help but be perplexed.

He didn’t say anything but only stood there while looking at Hades with vigilance.

“Hahaha so the rumor was true. The well-known ‘Fool’ who once died has actually once again reborn and was reduced to this pathetic state …”

“…What are you talking about …?”

“There’s no need to lie, although your divine power seems less and your presence right now is low but I can feel your presence before me Epimitheas… or should I say, Solomon, punished because of his brother’s crimes and was thrown to the mortal world and became the son of David.

Hailed as a king of Jerusalem who mastered and controlled all spirits and demons, one loved by the Gods… The famous clown of the Gods, am I right?”

Solomon!?——Hein was speechless.

He could only look at Hades with wide eyes as his mind became turmoil of chaos.

—suddenly, a blurry figure of a girl appeared inside his mind.

Hus… band…do you… love… the… lower realm?

As if listening to a broken recorder, a seemingly soft and gentle voice echoed inside him.

The face of the shadow was inconsistent just like magic and then it disappeared, like a fleeting cloud, leaving a pain as if something was tearing his brain.

“AaaaarrghhHH!!”

Seeing the screaming Hein who was holding his head with his both hands, Hades looked at him as if he suddenly realized something, he laughs out loud.

His laughter, like a rumbling earthquake, filled the heavens.

Hades stood up while nonchalantly patting the dirt accumulated in his black robe.

He wiped the tiny blood leaking from the corner of his mouth and walked as if the fight that happened a while ago was a dream.

Hades stopped in front of Hein and leaks a cruel, evil grin.

“Now I understand… It seems like you are still not fully recovered. Your memories, divine power, abilities… all of these haven’t fully returned. So that’s why your power just now is still too weak, a demi-god at best? No maybe lower… hm, well it seems like right now is the best time to kill you when you’re not at your best. It would be troublesome if you regain your full power, besides if you were found by those annoying Gods, it will become more troublesome…”

“Wh.. Who… are you…?”

“Ah! Right! I still haven’t given you my name, did I? Now then, the ‘Fool’ allow me to introduce myself, my name is Hades! One of the three major Gods of Olympus! Ruler of the Underworld!”

“H… Hades? Brother of Poseidon and Zeus?”

Hearing the name given, Hein’s expression changed.

His face as if saying ‘Impossible!’ was directed towards the black haired youth.

“Yeah, I am. Well then, you should curse the women of Fates as they let me be the one who found you first. If only it’s your brothers, especially that trickster; Prometheus, you might have lived. Unfortunately…”

Hades said cheerfully with a smile.

Noticing something, Hein immediately retreated as he prepared himself to fight again.

“Hmpf” Hades black eyes were filled with a cold look as his body flashed, appearing like a purple bolt in the air, arriving instantly in front of him.

Hein was utterly shocked by what happened. Hades speed seemed to change as he became faster compared from before.

It reached to the point that Hein could no longer see his movements, only afterimages.

Hein waved his right arm that held the [Rune Demonic Blade].

From his shoulder to the elbow, and then combined with the force from the wrist, he swung that heavy looking black sword, slashing towards the blurry shadow horizontally.

His movements have almost reached the epitome of swordsmanship. It was also extremely powerful.

In its strengthened form, [Rune Demonic Blade] was sharp enough to cut through concrete, not to mention with the divine power that was flowing through it.

–But even against such an attack, Hades easily blocked it with a golden pitchfork. Not only that, he slashed back… correction, Hades simply swung the pitchfork lightly towards the black sword, but the impact actually made the sword tremble and then…

… it was destroyed.

Hein was shocked beyond belief and his arm that held the [Rune Demonic Blade] has instant lost its strength and become numbed, but he still gathered all his power on his left hand and formed a dragon claw and shot it towards Hades chest.

Hein was sure that the claw would hit but Hades simply evaded these attacks by stepping left and right. He was almost dancing like a butterfly.

“Hoo~ You’re quite strong despite your lack of divine power. I even have a sudden thought that a day will come when you will become a very strong warrior, even stronger than that of Ares.”

He was even able to praise his opponent like that.

“… More the reason to not let you live pass this day!”

Suddenly, Hades expression turned even more serious. Two shades appeared behind his back and flew towards Hein.

Hein wanted to evade but he know that he can’t do it so he immediately focused all his power to strengthen his [Magic Dispersion Barrier ] and cast [Flame Arrows], [Wind Gale], [Fury Wind Rage] at the same time to attack Hades.

However, the [Magic Dispersion Barrier ] couldn’t stop the two shades as they pass through it like it was nothing and pass through Hein’s body.

At that moment, Hein felt that a chunk of his strength was lost. His body began to tremble and lost its strength.

He then experienced something stabbing in his abdomen. It was too painful as he could only fall down on his knees and growled in pain.

“Oh, it seems you’ve got something good there. [Magic Dispersion Barrier ] that only the Dragon species have, excellent. Unfortunately, these two shades are not magic; they’re souls so something like that can’t stop my servants.”

Hades laughed. He then looked at the growling Hein.

“It must be painful. Let me tell you, these shades are special. I called them [Inflicting Shades], when they pass through someone, that someone will suffer the same pain, the same sadness the same feeling when they died. It’s as if they’re inflicting curses to you… wonderful, isn’t it?

Not just that, because they are souls–damned souls specifically, the moment they touch you, you will instantly lose your power as if they’ve been suck out.”

“This… isn’t painful at all!”

Hein’s eyes became a little red but it wasn’t fear, rather it was an angered feeling!

Hein had continuously fought with people older than him back in the real world in the past and when he was trapped in this place, he also fought strong monsters without fear and miraculously survived.

In a sense, he had already received a baptism from those bloody battles. Although his status with the enemy in front of him, their wills and resolution were equivalent.

Because of this, Hein didn’t have the slightest bit of fear when facing such strong opponent whose power exceeded his own by a lot.

If, right now he was to cower on such might then he would have shamed all those he fought in the past, especially all the people and monsters he stepped to become what he is right now, and that is something he cannot forgive!

Hein’s greatest point is that, the stronger his opponent, the braver and the stronger his will to overcome it, becomes!

Refusing to give up, Hein gritted his teeth to stand up.

Hades sneered at his foolish actions and his image rushed like the wind before Hein. His speed was too fast for the naked eye to follow.

Hein didn’t have a time to respond when the pit of his stomach was violently kicked.

Bang!

A muffled bang.

Hein felt his body completely lose control. His entire body ruthlessly rolled on the ground before spitting a mouthful of black colored blood.

“Don’t think of standing out again, ‘Fool’. If you don’t want to suffer anymore then just accept your fate.”

“I… I… refuse!!”

“Haa~ Well then, I shall do this the hard wa—”

“GET AWAY FROM MY FATHER!!!”
