Chapter 193 vs. Hades
"Just a mere mortal!"
"Have you noticed that the fires of hell are burning brighter than they were two years ago?"
"I knew that as long as I trapped this female magician, you would come to rescue her!"
"Beat the wrath of hell!"
Hades, the "King of the Underworld," grew to be hundreds of meters tall in the underworld, with outward-spinning goat horns on his head, bones protruding from his skin on his face, ears standing up like bats, and a mouth full of sharp teeth like a demon.
This guy seemed to have been waiting for Connors for a long time, and roared the moment he stepped into hell, as hellfire surged forth.
"What is Lao Ledao saying?"
Connors picked at his ear, a thick black cloak billowing behind him, colliding with the crimson flames.
"Black Smoke," also known as "Fallen Warhorse," one of Connors's rewards for watching the show, is the only ability besides "Green of All Things" that can be upgraded.
At first, it could only transform into a black smoke horse, then it could transform into a black smoke cloak, and now it can transform into countless other forms.
Faced with the scorching inferno of the entire hell, the black smoke firmly protected Connors' body, and countless gaping mouths appeared from all directions, frantically devouring the flames.
Connors didn't even need to take action himself; the flames controlled by Hades, the "King of the Underworld," had already lost their power.
"Puff".
Hades also noticed the disappearance of the hellfire. Instead of continuing to burn blindly, he withdrew the flames that filled the sky.
Then, he pulled out a skyscraper-sized longsword from somewhere and smashed it at Connors.
Connors: "."
It seemed that without dealing with Hades, his plan to find Zatanna couldn't be completed, and he rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.
Connors took Zatanna from Earth Zero into the hellish Earth Zero for a stroll, treating it like a horse ranch, letting the black smoke carry the mysterious house around freely.
Earth-3 Hell, and now Connors is back again. This time he's not with anyone, but the person he needs to find is still Zatanna.
Having decided to eliminate Hades, the "King of the Underworld," Connors dared not be careless in the face of this deity from Greek mythology.
"Polymer chain mimicry" quickly simulated Hades' appearance, and Connors' figure also rapidly transformed from an ordinary mortal into the image of a skyscraper giant.
Aside from his face, Connors disliked Hades so much that he kept his own appearance, but his armor and bone spikes were exactly the same as Hades'.
Even the black cloaks behind them were quite similar.
Hades' black cloak was burned two years ago when he transformed from a refined middle-aged man into a demonic figure.
It became dilapidated and remains so to this day.
Connors' "Black Smoke Cloak" itself has no fixed shape and is an ethereal existence.
"Looks like you've learned quite a few new skills in the last two years?" Hades sneered, continuing to tighten his grip on the longsword.
What was once a threat to Connors, which was like a skyscraper falling down on him, was now no longer a threat. He neither dodged nor avoided it, letting the sword strike him.
Its massive body was instantly cleaved in two diagonally.
"You know what? Two years ago, my 'reverse healing magic' couldn't be used on you."
Connors, whose body was split into two uneven halves, seemed unaffected and slowly recovered. On the contrary, Hades, the "King of the Underworld," had the same wound on his body.
Thick blood, like oil, flowed from Hades' body and then burst into flames.
Then, to Hades's somewhat incredulous gaze, his body rapidly recovered, and his wounds healed automatically.
"But now, my reverse healing magic can work on you," Connors said.
"Is that so? Don't forget who the master of Hell is." Hades brandished his longsword. "You seem to be able to transfer the damage you suffer onto me?"
"But in hell, I am immortal. More than three thousand years of imprisonment have almost numbed me to the pain hell inflicts on me."
"But as a mortal, you must feel pain, right?"
Upon hearing this, Connors felt that Hades, the "King of the Underworld," made sense:
"Indeed, although the damage can be transferred, the pain will still be there."
Hades let out a laugh that was hard to decipher, and Connors couldn't figure out why this guy laughed so much:
"You want to rescue that female mage? You two can stay in hell!"
Connors was thinking about something else at that moment:
"If I kill Hades, will those Greek gods swarm me like flies?"
When Hades saw that Connors was ignoring him, he shoved his longsword into the ground, clenched his fist, and charged forward.
With his massive size, huge bone spurs on his fists, and the thunderous sound he made when he ran, Hades clearly wanted to inflict endless pain on Connors.
Connors was too lazy to hide. He wanted to watch the drama unfold, but he didn't want to become the drama himself. If he killed Hades, and the Greek gods kept hunting him down, wouldn't he become their source of amusement?
As for the Reed Council, it's easy to deal with them. A single Reed can't beat me, and a group of Reeds will fight among themselves. Even if they do form an organization, I'm not too afraid.
However, Connors really couldn't be bothered with those old monsters from Greek mythology, except for Wonder Woman.
He didn't intend to dodge, but Hades' fist still missed, instead making a strange turn in mid-air and striking his own face.
Metaphor~
An almost transparent protective shield protected Connors.
Just as Connors poked the protective shield in confusion, and Hades reached out to pinch the jaw that he had knocked askew, lightning and thunder suddenly struck in Hell.
Hell was originally a realm of crimson flames, where the sky and earth were filled with fire, and the air was filled with black ash.
This should have been a scene that would never change no matter how much time had passed, but at this moment, dark clouds loomed overhead, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Amidst the rumbling thunder, a magician named "Zatanna," wearing a magician's hat, a white vest and shirt, and fishnet stockings covering her ample thighs, descended from the sky and stood on Connors' enlarged shoulder.
Without uttering a single unnecessary word, Zatanna waved her magic wand:
"Lightning!"
Click!
That wasn't lightning at all; it was clearly a thick pillar of lightning from the sky that struck Hades from above.
"Impossible! I clearly locked you in the deepest part of hell, where there's nothing at all; you have no way to escape."
After the lightning, Hades, the "Lord of the Underworld," exuded the aroma of meat, his eyes, whose eyelids had been burned away by the lightning, stared intently at Zatanna.
"Yes, there was nothing there, so I could use magic without worry and find 'The Flash'—especially since you were focusing all your energy on Connors just now, which allowed me to find him successfully."
Zatanna waved her magic wand gracefully, speaking with an air of ease.
As soon as she finished speaking, a golden lightning bolt rushed from the distance of hell, circled Hades a few times, climbed up, and stood on top of Hades' head.
Then, seemingly disgusted with Hades' bald head after being struck by lightning, the golden lightning bolt landed on Connors' other shoulder.
Hey buddy!
"The Flash" Barry greeted Connors as if it were the first time they had met.
"Barry? Are you in hell?"
Connors was pleasantly surprised, saying that he originally thought he wouldn't be able to find "The Flash" in Hell and would have to go to Heaven to look for him, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't need to make an extra trip at all.
"What heaven or hell? In front of the fastest man in the world, it's just a matter of running a few more steps, right?" the sunny boy Barry said with a smile.
