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 s


    eemed 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 copse. The entire ce was i


    n ruins.


    Dustin stood at the entrance to the medical center, blocking out the asional


    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 particrly like Albert.


    “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 himsel


    f.


    “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 th


    ey started to flicker.


    In the blurriness, a figure could be seening towards them. When the lights came on, the figure disa


    ppeared, and when the lights went out, the figure materialized again. He approached closer each time t


    he lights flickered, and in just a matter of seconds, the person appeared before the crowd. It was an old


    man with a ck beard who wore a dark cloak. He was shrouded in a dark mist and emanated an air o


    f demise.


    “I–I–


    I… I know him! He’s Hades, God of the Underworld from the Hall of Gods!” Someone from the crowd e


    ximed 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 th


    ree 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 c


    ompletely different levels. There was no mistake in saying that his presence in the Hall of Gods was un


    paralleled.


    If the strongest of major gods wereparable to grandmasters in Dragonmarsh, then a royal god wou


    ld 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 u


    sually busied themselves with protecting the country’s borders or guarding the pce grounds, and the


    y 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 f


    rom the Hall of Gods, would actually make an appearance here in Dragonmarsh! Were they here to initi


    ate 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! Wouldn’


    t it be a cmity if your nation lost you here?” Rufus raised a brow, looking as calm as


    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 t


    hem 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 n.


    There was an ace in the West Lucozian army


    who was extremely aplished 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
