Hades!
As Qin Ziling's voice rang out, an eerie silence suddenly fell over the surroundings.
The crowd looked puzzled, as if they hadn't quite grasped the situation.
Jue was also stunned, his brows furrowing. Hades, why does this name sound so familiar?
"You...you are Hades? Hades, one of the twelve Olympian gods?!"
Suddenly, a deep and solemn voice rang out, attracting everyone's attention.
What?!
The Twelve Olympian Gods?!
In an instant, everyone's expression froze!
His neck stiffened as he slowly turned to the man in black robes, his eyes revealing undisguised horror.
"Hades? You're from the temple?" Jue realized what was happening, his expression changed, and he looked at the black-robed man with apprehension.
He naturally knew about the temple. Moreover, unlike his Holy Court, the temple was extremely famous in the dark world. It was a top power in the dark world, at the height of its power!
It contains the most powerful main god in the dark world! Every one of them who steps into the dark world causes a huge sensation!
Moreover, the temple does not only have twelve main gods, but each of the twelve main gods also has its own forces under its command. These forces are far beyond what assassin mercenary organizations can match. To put it simply, any one of the forces under the twelve main gods could easily crush an SS-level organization like the Black Bear Mercenary Group!
Not to mention the master god of its power!
That's already the absolute limit of skill!
The assassins were utterly shocked. They had all heard of the Temple organization and knew it was a behemoth that they could not afford to provoke!
At the same time, they were also very fortunate that they had not provoked the man in black robes, namely Hades, in the first place!
Blood Spider and the others also had extremely solemn expressions, because none of them had expected that a Western deity would actually descend upon the Dragon Kingdom! For the Philosopher's Stone!
This made them even more worried about Qin Ziling.
Is he capable of dealing with a god-level powerhouse now?
"Hehe, I didn't expect to be recognized. But if it's you, it makes sense." Hades smiled and looked at Qin Ziling, meeting his indifferent eyes.
A thought struck him, and Hades said cautiously, "It is an honor to see you again in the Dragon Kingdom."
Everyone noticed the change in Hades' tone and was puzzled, because he hadn't been so calm when he spoke to Jue just now. The difference was too great.
Could it be assumed that Hades was familiar with this masked man?
Qin Ziling's lips curled up: "The fact that the Supreme God himself is involved can't be solely for the Philosopher's Stone, right?"
The Philosopher's Stone is important, but it's not enough to make a god go to great lengths to come to the Dragon Kingdom, a land teeming with hidden talents!
Clearly, Hades had an ulterior motive.
As for his motives, he had his own guesses.
Hades nodded: "Indeed, I came for you. To be honest, I didn't expect to see you, and I didn't recognize you at first, until I saw that golden light!"
Golden light!
How could he possibly forget that golden light that he, no, that the entire temple remembered so vividly?
Qin Ziling laughed: "What? Want to see if I'm dead yet? Trying to kill me again?"
Hades smiled but said nothing.
"What are you talking about? Who exactly are you?" Jue stared at Qin Ziling, his heart itching as if being scratched by cat claws.
Someone who can converse with the supreme god must be someone of extraordinary status! But Jue had no recollection of such a person.
You must understand, even a Knight of the Round Table from the Holy See wouldn't dare say he could directly confront a supreme god! And he isn't a Knight of the Round Table yet, so naturally he's not qualified to speak with a supreme god.
Qin Ziling glanced at him and then said, "If you're so eager to know my identity, Hades, then tell him."
Hades' eyes flickered slightly, then he looked at Jue, a playful smile on his face: "The man before you is actually a member of the underworld. A few years ago, a rising star emerged in the underworld, quickly gaining fame for his terrifying achievements. Even the giants of the underworld, the heads of the assassin world, the Assassin Alliance, were turned upside down by him..."
Listening to Hades' slow tone and savoring the words he uttered, everyone couldn't help but recall the past.
Jue's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had caught something. Immediately, a strong sense of unease and fear welled up in his heart and filled him with dread.
Following him, someone else seemed to realize what was happening, and their mouths opened wider and wider!
Hades observed the expressions on everyone's faces, his expression growing increasingly intrigued: "Subsequently, that rising star attracted the attention of the temple. As a result, the temple dispatched two chief gods to test that newcomer. However, the outcome was regrettable. The two renowned chief gods, beings who stood at the pinnacle of the dark world, actually failed! And after that battle, that newcomer caused a sensation throughout the dark world!"
“He…he could he be…” someone suddenly spoke, their voice trembling.
Almost as if guided by this voice, fear appeared on everyone's face!
The Shadow Spider and Purple Spider beside the Blood Spider trembled, their bodies going weak. Their beautiful eyes were fixed on Qin Ziling, their emotions too complicated to describe.
Celebration, joy, worship, fear, excitement...
They were stunned!
Qin Ziling watched Hades with interest and did not stop him from continuing.
Hades smiled slightly, and his voice rang out again, as calmly as if he were talking about everyday matters: "Afterwards, in order to suppress him, the temple launched a divine war. All twelve main gods were mobilized to besiege that rising star. It took a lot of effort, and in the end, the temple sealed him away at a great cost. After that, he never appeared in the dark world again and his whereabouts became unknown!"
"By the way, he has a name that I'm sure you've all heard of."
"The tyrannical ruler who killed his master, one of the three crowns of the dark world! It's him!"
After Hades finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Na Jue was now covered in sweat, staring at Qin Ziling with a look of horror and disbelief.
Breyer had already appeared in front of the Duke, watching Qin Ziling warily, fearing that he would suddenly make a move. Even if Breyer could not deal with the other party, he was determined to protect his master with his life.
Qin Ziling ignored the others and looked at Hades, laughing, "I'm embarrassed by what you're saying, but it seems like you're slapping the temple in the face. Is that acceptable?"
Clearly, he did not deny his identity!
In other words, he was a tyrannical ruler who killed his master!
Hades laughed and said, "I don't care what others think. I'm a very easygoing person. These are your achievements, and there's nothing to hide!"
Qin Ziling smiled knowingly.
"No...impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
