Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined

Chapter 687: Chapter687-Beloved Brother, a Bewildered Hades

"You may rise."

Aurek swept his sleeve and stepped into the Golden Palace.

The goddesses exchanged glances, completely unable to understand what was going on.

"Your Majesty, is it not too risky to pour out all our strength and wage war on all fronts at once?"

Hera followed behind him and asked softly.

Aurek’s gaze was deep and solemn.

"Those few in Asgard have yet to move. They should not make a move for the time being."

"I imagine they also never expected that I would directly take action against Vidar, Helios, and Minerva. As for the dragon race, they are nothing to fear—mere chickens and dogs."

"As for the Underworld... that one must stabilize life, death, and reincarnation, and cannot free herself. The only troublesome ones are those two fellows in Heaven, but that is fine as well. Now that I have advanced to the high stage of the Return-to-Origin realm, the only one who can truly be considered a threat is the Lord of Heaven!"

"Now, all that remains is to wait patiently!"

Aurek had not personally descended upon the battlefield.

Unless those three from Heaven personally took action, he would not move.

His true purpose in this war was to harvest enough Emperor Points.

If he revealed himself too early, those Return-to-Origin gods would immediately move upon hearing the news. At that time, the Lord of Heaven would also awaken from his long slumber, and the battle situation would spiral completely out of control.

At present, although Heaven had quite a few quasi-Return-to-Origin gods, Aurek only needed to use hundreds of billions of Godtouched soldiers to fill the gap.

Once Heaven’s holy beings had been slaughtered to exhaustion, he could then send Metatron, Athena, and the others out to fight. That would be enough to hold back those holy archangels.

All he had to do was wait for those three holy spirits of Heaven to step out of their lair. Then he could conveniently deal with them all at once.

...

Inside the Golden Palace.

Several guardian goddesses and a host of divine attendants all knelt on the ground. The low whispers from within the hall drifted intermittently into their ears.

A stormy sea had already risen in their hearts. If they still could not guess who that figure who had suddenly descended was, then they truly would have lived in vain!

Hera turned toward Aurek and asked softly, "Your Majesty, when do you intend to bring those consorts from the Endless Star Sea to Olympus?"

Aurek understood that she was referring to Josephine, Elizabeth, Belinda, and the other imperial consorts.

His gaze swept over the seven kneeling guardian goddesses below, and he said calmly, "Let them go."

Right now, the battle situation across the entire multiverse was the top priority.

This war would eventually involve those supreme gods. Therefore, Aurek had to personally sit at the center and oversee everything.

As for Metatron, Athena, and Hera, they were the three most important blades in his hand, ready to be unsheathed at any moment.

...

At the summit of Mount Olympus, the atmosphere was filled with killing intent.

Heracles, Helios, Eros, and the other gods related to the great divine clans of Olympus had all been transferred to the front lines.

Meanwhile, gods such as the Guardian God Heracles, the Commander of Heroic Spirits, and the Valkyries had been dispatched to guard the Gate of Olympus.

The expressions of the gods were incomparably grave.

Olympus groaned amid the tremors. The outer starry sky had already been shattered by battle, and countless ancient stars fell like rain.

Falling alongside them were many starfield guardian gods and batch after batch of divine warriors.

In the directions of the northern and southern poles, Atlas and Minerva, the God of Wisdom, had already personally taken action, leading the star gods into battle. Yet they were still unable to stop the endless frenzied assault of over a trillion Godtouched soldiers.

Although those Godtouched could not kill these powerful gods, and were even casually erased by the tens of millions with a single palm strike, the middle- and lower-ranking starfield guardian gods were falling one after another.

Originally, they could have been revived through their divine sparks.

However, now all of their divine sparks were in Aurek’s hands!

If he was unwilling, those people would never be reborn.

Aside from Hera and Athena, no one knew this.

...

In the depths of the True Sea.

The Dragon Emperor had already forcefully suppressed and slain the dragons of the True Sea, pinning countless giant dragons beneath the seabed. The various sea races had also been slaughtered to the last.

The boundless waters of the True Sea had almost been dyed entirely crimson.

Even though the four legendary Dragon Kings had activated their Origin Artifacts, they still could not withstand the storm-like bombardment from tens of billions of Godtouched soldiers.

"My dragon race... is willing to submit!"

The Black Dragon King’s voice came from within the sacred temple, shrill and filled with despair.

If the battle continued, the dragon race and the countless sea races would be completely wiped out!

Over a trillion Godtouched soldiers pressed down upon the surface of the sea, forcing the dragon race to lower their heads in complete submission.

The four Dragon Kings curled up inside the sacred temple, trembling uncontrollably.

Their dragon race did not even have a single quasi-Return-to-Origin god. Otherwise, they would not have been held in the palm of Olympus for so long.

Now, facing a punitive expedition of this scale and this rank, only by bowing their heads and becoming subjects could they preserve the bloodline of the dragon race and the sea races!

...

At the same time, in the Underworld.

Over a trillion soldiers had already broken through the Gate of the Underworld, crossed the River Styx, and were pressing straight toward the Abyss of the Underworld.

Hades, Lord of the Underworld, was forced to retreat to the edge of the reincarnation passage, seeking aid from Tartarus.

By the shore of the Nether Blood Sea, Suggwoth had already led his legions into the Blood Sea, clashing fiercely with the Guardian of the Underworld and the Demonic Star Legion.

All twelve layers of the Nether Halls had fallen. The undead could not resist at all.

The nine Underworld guards and the monarchs of the Underworld fought desperately to block the enemy, but they were forced back step by step.

"God of the Abyss! The Underworld is in chaos, and the order of the universe is about to collapse. If this continues, it will surely brew an endless calamity."

"I humbly beg you to act and protect the Underworld!"

Hades lowered his head and pleaded.

At that moment, an ethereal voice sounded beside his ear.

"Go to Olympus. Bow before the main hall of the Golden Palace, and the chaos in the Underworld will be completely quelled."

Bow before the main hall of the Golden Palace?

Hades’ expression froze.

Was Olympus itself not also suffering disaster right now?

"God of the Abyss, Olympus can barely protect itself at present. How could it have the strength to resolve the crisis of the Underworld?"

"You only need to go and bow before the Golden Palace. Then everything will become clear."

As that voice fell, the power of life, death, and reincarnation suddenly swept Hades into a pillar of light, sending him directly to the summit of Olympus!

Hades was filled with doubt, but he still followed the ancient Abyss God’s guidance and arrived before the gates of Olympus.

The Guardian God Heracles and the Commander of Heroic Spirits were both stunned when they saw Hades arrive.

The Underworld was not under Olympus’ jurisdiction. This had been the rule since the ancient divine war.

Yet now, this Lord of the Underworld had personally come to their doorstep. It truly left them astonished.

The two gods quickly saluted.

"Greetings, Lord of the Underworld! May we ask what brings you here?"

"I wish to meet God King Zeus."

The Lord of the Underworld spoke in a deep voice.

The two exchanged glances, but they did not dare show any neglect.

"The Lord of the Underworld has arrived!"

Inside the Golden Palace, Athena’s eyes narrowed.

Hera said, "This is the will of Tartarus."

She turned toward Aurek.

"Your Majesty, the order of the Underworld cannot be allowed to fall into chaos. Since that side has already extended goodwill, why don’t we withdraw our troops for now?"

The Underworld had never truly been ruled by Hades. Its real authority was in Tartarus’ hands.

If she had not spoken, Hades would never have dared come up here.

Aurek leaned on the Emperor’s Scepter and remained silent for a long time.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Hades pays respect to the God King!"

Outside the main hall of the Golden Palace, Hades clenched his fists.

At the thought of having to ask his own younger brother for help, unwillingness could not help but surge in his heart.

But if this had not been that one’s will, he would never have carried it out.

"You may return."

A voice sounded beside his ear.

It was Aurek’s voice.

Hades frowned.

Heracles and the others were equally puzzled.

Boom—!

Before Hades could respond, a supreme divine might suddenly enveloped his body.

In the next instant, light flashed, and he was sent back to the Underworld out of thin air.

Hades’ heart trembled.

At the same time, on the battlefield of the Underworld, the Crossbridge army stopped in perfect unison and began to withdraw like a receding tide.

"Your Majesty! Crossbridge Divine Court has retreated!"

The nine monarchs of the Underworld hurried over one after another to report the battle situation.

Yet there was not the slightest trace of joy on Hades’ face.

He simply stood frozen in place.
