Chapter 361
As the battle raged on, Albert held his ground firmly against the four major gods‘ attacks. The five
figures moved around so fast that they seemed to be intertwined, and it was impossible to tell them
apart. It was quite an overwhelming sight to behold. Everywhere they passed by, trees would fall and
houses would collapse. The entire place was in ruins.
Dustin stood at the entrance to the medical center, blocking out the occasional stray bursts of true
energy that went their way. It was a good thing that Albert had the sense to lead the fight away from
them or the medical center would also have been destroyed.
“Dustin, who would have thought that you had such a powerful elder in your family! Even the four major
gods cannot defeat him!” Maximus stared straight ahead at the five figures who were engaged in a tight
battle. They moved so fast that he could not even make out who each person
was.
“He’s not an elder,” Dustin said coldly,
“He’s not? Then why is he with your father?” Maximus was intrigued.
“He’s just a servant working for the Rhys family,” Dustin answered aloofly. He didn’t particularly like
Albert.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“A servant?” Maximus could not believe his ears. He was awe–struck, to say the least.
“You have such a powerful person as a servant? Are you royalty, Dustin?” Maximus wondered to
himself.
“We’ve got trouble.” Suddenly, Dustin seemed to detect something. His head whipped up, and he
stared intently down the street. The lights along the street briefly dimmed before they started to flicker.
In the blurriness, a figure could be seen coming towards them. When the lights came on, the figure
disappeared, and when the lights went out, the figure materialized again. He approached closer each
time the lights flickered, and in just a matter of seconds, the person appeared before the crowd. It was
an old man with a black beard who wore a dark cloak. He was shrouded in a dark mist and emanated
an air of demise.
“I–I–I… I know him! He’s Hades, God of the Underworld from the Hall of Gods!” Someone from the
crowd exclaimed all of a sudden.
Chaos broke out instantly!
“Good heavens! Even Hades, God of the Underworld is here! What on earth is going on today?” The
three Williams men were scared out of their wits and reduced to a flustered state.
The reason behind their shock was that Hades, God of the Underworld, was a royal god! His status and
power far exceeded those of major gods like Athena and Ares. They were on two completely different
levels. There was no mistake in saying that his presence in the Hall of Gods was unparalleled.
If the strongest of major gods were comparable to grandmasters in Dragonmarsh, then a royal god
would be equivalent to the most superior of ultimate grandmasters. There were only a handful of
ultimate grandmasters in Dragonmarsh, and each of them was regarded as a national treasure. They
usually busied themselves with protecting the country’s borders or guarding the palace grounds, and
they rarely ever made public appearances.
The same could be said for the royal gods of the Hall of Gods. They were never deployed unless their
nation’s security was at risk of being breached. Akin to nuclear weapons, they were more often used to
intimidate and deter enemies rather than to engage in actual battles.
But today, it was truly beyond anyone’s imagination that the most elite person in Streuqua, a royal god
from the Hall of Gods, would actually make an appearance here in Dragonmarsh! Were they here to
initiate war?
“It’s been a long time, Mr. Rhys.” Hades took off his cloak and nodded at Rufus like he was greeting an
old friend.
“The Hall of Gods has truly gone all out this time around! Even a royal god has been deployed!

ever.
“Mr. Rhys, if you were in West Lucozia, it goes without saying that I would not act rashly. Unfortunately,
you have chosen to leave your own safe zone, so don’t be surprised that we’re taking action,” Hades
said with a smirk.
“Oh, so do you think that you’re able to kill me?” Rufus asked lightly.
“We’ve done our investigation. You only have a grandmaster guarding you now. Athena and the rest of
them will be able to keep him busy. And that would leave me to deal with you alone, and I’m fairly
certain I can take your life.” Hades was very confident in their plan.
There was an ace in the West Lucozian army who was extremely accomplished in his swordsmanship,
and Hades knew that he was no match against that person. But luckily for them, person was not here
today, so this was the best chance for the Hall of Gods to launch an attack on them.

As long as Rufus died, West Lucozia would be left without a leader, and Streuqua could boldly invade
them, and they wouldn’t stand a chance. This was a vital step for them, and they would not allow
themselves to fail!
“Since you already have everything planned out, come on then,” Rufus invited impassively. “Have your
last look at the mortal realm, Mr. Rhys!”
