Chapter 833 467: All Quiet on the Eastern Front (Part 2)

Whether it's the Netherworld of Hades, the Netherworld of Anubis, Satan's Hell, or the Eastern Yellow Springs...

Each concept enveloped the barrier, turning the inside completely into a gateway to the Netherworld. Countless immortal legions, evil ghosts, vengeful spirits, and fierce ghosts emerged, turning this place into a battlefield for ghosts and the swarm to fight.

As a result, the swarms have been fighting in Eden for so long, with very few living enemies, all dealing with these ghostly creatures.

This actually prevented them from utilizing their strongest abilities, trapping them here in a deadlock with these undead fierce ghosts.

Of course, this is only temporary. Once the swarm's eggs begin to hatch gradually, and once the Lord of Mist notices the alarming results here, this defensive line may collapse in a very short time. Then, the swarm will sweep across the entire Eden, driving those Earth creatures who barely survived the Divine Era's extermination to extinction.

It might even be possible to find the Earth's coordinates from them and start tracing back to Earth.

This is also why Xue Dili must come to help.

Not only because of the inexplicable and unclear relationship with Chaos, but more so because if he didn't come to help, Earth's coordinates would definitely be exposed, which is something he absolutely doesn't want to happen.

And Chaos, just now she signed a unity contract with him.

Whenever he needs strength, he could borrow power from her.

The cost is merely becoming a substitute for her "mother."

Xue Dili even felt this cost was a bit lenient. Although he didn't understand such substitute culture, he wouldn't stop it, and being able to resolve the "Tenth Apostle" threat at such a small cost, Xue Dili felt it was a worthwhile trade.

Xue Dili wouldn't be pretentious. Having obtained the power and authority of Chaos, he also sealed the Divine Tree, which inherited Athena's memory, within his Consciousness Space, essentially taking away all of Chaos's power.

Now Chaos only has the power of the fourth Divine King, which is the power of the sky and half of Proxima Centauri's World Consciousness. Besides this, all power of other Apostles and authorities has been lent to Xue Dili.

This also proves that the invading Divine Tree, previously restrained by Chaos, is about to escape control and become the most formidable invader on that entire battlefield.

Xue Dili hurriedly rushed to Olympia, a battlefield now only filled with ghosts and the swarm fighting.

Unlike other places with floral seas and forest environments, this place has completely turned into a Mortal World Purgatory.

Flowers, trees, and the earth seem to be soaked in the corrosive mucus secreted by the swarm, evaporating a pungent acidic mist. The soil is no longer fragrant but covered with tumor-like egg sacs, pulsating like breathing and oozing pus, with occasionally not-yet-totally-dead insects struggling out of the corpse piles, their abdomens eaten empty by their larvae, dragging their glowing green intestines to fly half a meter before bursting into phosphorescence.

Countless egg shells three stories high stood on the ground as if breathing on the surface. Through the transparent membranes, Xue Dili could vaguely see the wriggling larvae inside.

Twisted, disgusting—this is anyone's first reaction upon seeing this place.

As for Xue Dili, he was already accustomed to fighting with the swarm. Without hesitation, he directly found his acquaintance here, namely the Hades he once encountered several times.

In the frontline camp, there was not a bit of life force, but rather an underworld-like atmosphere.

Besides Hades, there was also a kobold exuding a ghostly aura, an entirely pitch-black Angel as if from Africa, as well as a Minotaur and a monk with a head full of pustules.

In short, there was no human atmosphere.

Hades, this hellbound recluse, was the most spirited among them.

At this moment, these individuals gave Xue Dili a slight nod in greeting, then continued to stare at the table map representing the whole of Olympia like cold Sima faces.

Looking at Hades now, Xue Dili didn't expect that after over three thousand years, Hades had completely turned into a hunched old man, and even his appearance seemed elderly.

Gods can grow old and die too...

Thus thought Xue Dili.

Even though Hades was on an equal footing with Zeus, at this time Xue Dili couldn't even feel any vitality in him; standing there like a dead man, Xue Dili even felt as if Hades had long been dead, with the being here merely an entity controlling his own body forcibly with Divine Power like a zombie.

Indeed, he didn't meet many acquaintances upon arriving at Eden Star.

Athena was dead, Prometheus was dead, and most of those familiar faces from the Greek Era had died of old age, and even those not dead had one foot in the grave, exuding an aura of twilight and decline.

From the East Realm, those figures from Eastern mythology were basically all unrecognized, only knowing Tu Shan Clan marrying off a fox with the Yellow Emperor, nothing more.

It seemed someone from Yao, Shun, Yu also married a fox, but even Xue Dili was clueless about these Pre-Qin Era myths. To him, he only knew the Investiture of the Gods from Pre-Qin mythology.

Wait, the Investiture of the Gods is from the Ming Dynasty! No wonder when he tried to find people according to it, he couldn't find anyone!
