Chapter 695: Calling Backup
Chapter 695: Calling Backup
—–
A vast amount of Mana crossed through the entire cosmos, as the power of my father, the Titan that represented Time itself, was finally assimilated into the vast existence.
And as such a thing happened, my entire body was slowly destroyed into pieces.
The war ended… but at what cost?
We killed our father… but did we really accomplish something by doing so?
Zeus, Poseidon… you two truly are fools.
And to make things worse, we used so much power that the whole creation became distorted, the order of the mortals was disrupted, and the worlds became chaotic.
Chaos must be dancing in happiness like the damned crazy old man he is, at the end, he was right.
We might have messed up things quite badly.
We should have never killed our father… by doing so, we saved ourselves from being eaten, yes, but we also ended up changing all of creation for the worst.
We cannot even take good care of the humans now… what will it be of them?
I may be the King of the Underworld, but I have always cared about these foolish mortals.
After all, they always complained about their lives when they died.
Sigh…
The destruction of our father was far greater than we could take, Zeus and Poseidon were not capable of taking on the burden of Cronus Divine Authority and almost died when trying to maintain it.
And there was where I entered, I had to do something to help my two foolish young brothers.
I hope you are happy now, thanks to you two, the underworld will have to be taken care by my children instead, and things might be even more chaotic due to your fault.
When will I even recover?
Taking on Cronus Divine Authority and redirect it to the entire creation so it could go back to normality was… too overwhelming.
I felt as if my whole existence was fragmented into tiny pieces and spread through the vast and everlasting darkness of the cosmos.
Truly a pathetic end for the God of the Underworld… Ah yes, I am Hades by the way.
The God of the Underworld, well some even called me the God of Death.
I even had an adorable three-headed dog, Cerberus! I really miss him…
Oh, and Persephone, my wife…
Damn it, did I really had to make such a big sacrifice?
Taking on Cronus took us more than a millennium, we managed to weaken him enough a lot, but at the end the fight dragged through time and space for a literal eternity.
After taking the hit for my two brothers, I was cut into tiny pieces by the power of our damned father, and here I am now…
Spread into fragments across the cosmos.
Damn it, I really want to meet my wife, my children, and my dog.
And… oh?
W-What is that black hole?!
Agh! Where am I being dragged into?!
Help?!
Ungh?!
I am in a sphere…? This is… I am trapped?!
What kind of fate is this, after having giving up my life to save you all! Is this karma? Are the Egyptian Gods scheming something now?
But… this boy. His aura is like the cosmos itself!
Just… who is he?

The memories of old times passed through the mind of Hades, as he opened his eyes once more, finding himself in an unfamiliar yet familiar place.
Within Terra, the divine realm of the gods was covered in bright auras of elements, all the gods gathered here were sitting around an enormous table where all of them were gathered for the single purpose of talking about the recent changes in their planet. Ever since Frank saved the planet from its destruction by the Demon King that things had been slowly improving for the better, the Gods had gathered together as a team once more, and even grew closer to Axitl, their beloved daughter. And they had even accepted a new member from another world completely different than theirs, but that was also an important figure, Hades.
Hades was sitting in the throne made of skulls and phantoms, which was just his own creation made out of magic, he didn't killed any person to make it or something. He looked at the other Gods with contempt, he still couldn't get used to being in here. After all he belonged to a Parallel Earth where Gods always existed, Greek Gods, Egyptian Gods, Mesopotamian Gods, and more, all of them were real and all of them slowly helped humanity raise to the technology era they were today, it was a parallel world similar to Frank, but not as insane in some areas, and more well-structured… However, at the time he died and was fragmented into pieces, he had been forced to fight his father, Chronos, who had turned insane and was trying to remake the world to his liking by rewinding its time to the era when humans were still primates!
Of course, Hades, and his two brothers, Zeus, and Poseidon, didn't let him do as he pleased, and all three of them battled against Chronos in outer space, in the middle of the void where the battle of gods could not completely destroy the planet's surface. Although the trio was powerful and they were able to keep up with their father's amazing powers, and even were able to damage and leave several lethal wounds over his body and divine soul, they were unable to completely overpower him nor stop him.
In the latest moment, when Chronos was about to unleash his power and push the rewind button, Hades decided to sacrifice himself, grabbing his father by spreading his entire body into a mass of darkness and phantom, and engulfing his father with his very soul, while also taking the power he was harboring on his scythe which he was going to use to rewind the world's time to the era of primates to rebuild humanity to his liking, as he believed they were too lost now for any redemption.
By doing this, Hades was able to stop his father and even managed to kill him by harboring his own's father's powers and pushing them into his father's chest, killing him with the power of rewinding an entire planet's time, but the enormous quantity of damage also hit Hades, fragmenting him apart into pieces… in that moment, Hades "died" and was no more.
And amidst the many fragments, where many of them began to slowly fade away into nothingness, one of such fragments, perhaps the biggest of them, him, ended suddenly being teleported somewhere else, in fact, inside the orb that a young boy had just gotten… And that's how… well, that's how he ended in here. The rest of the story is history, he fused with Frank's soul and everything else, until Frank revived him into a Lesser God, who was given the task of managing the transmigration cycle.
Despite how long his story was, he didn't had any opportunity to go back yet to that world, and he had been busy managing this world's transmigration cycle to even think about doing anything else for the moment, sadly. However, this small council reunion was his only way to distract himself from the monotony of the day.
"So we are happy that things are doing good, is it?" Said Abraddon.
"Yeah, things are doing very good, and I think that the Nations have begun to act more friendly with one another as well! Isn't that nice?" Said Thineas.
"Yeah, it has been a nice couple of months… Things are finally starting to get together, its all thanks to the boy." Said Abraddon.
"Indeed, all thanks to the boy…" Sighed Hades.
Hades sighed as he felt as bored as ever, he longed for those moments where he was with Frank on his adventurers, he knew that Frank was counting on him for this situation, but it really felt like he was just left out at the end… Maybe he was just too annoying or something, or perhaps Frank would feel awkward having him at his side now that he has such a big family with many girls with him and everything… an old and grumpy skeleton like him would only be annoying him at that point.
He didn't need any guidance either, Frank had already mastered the powers he gave to him, and now he was just going to continue growing stronger without possibly any limit, he might surpass his original self very soon, if he hasn't done it already… He wasn't needed anymore, and he only held into the promise from Frank that one day he would bring him back to his original world to finally met his brothers again and the world he died to protect. However, while sighing in silence and boredom, a sudden message reached his mind, it was Frank.
"Eh? Frank?!"
Hades suddenly heard Frank's voice speaking to his mind, as Frank started to tell him that he needed his help! He! His help! Really?!
"B-But what about the transmigration cycle?!" He asked.
"You're already strong enough, right? Create a clone to maintain it." Said Frank.
"R-Right! I never thought about it! I can't believe I've been so stupid this whole time!" Said Hades.
