Chapter 1883 Hercules' Sponsors

-----

Hercules was completely engulfed by the divine lightning, his body started to burn into ashes in mere seconds, as he screamed in agony. The explosion of Mjolnir spread across the entire domain, completely destroying it in the process.

The other Giants had all been mostly defeated, and those that didn't died instantly as the buff their leader was giving to them was turned off immediately, weakening them severely…

The bright blue skies revealed themselves to everyone once more, as the only thing that remained from Hercules was his roasted body, devoid of life.

Brunhild slowly descended into the floor, gasping for air.

"D-Did I do it? That was insane… This power I used…" Brunhild was amazed with herself.

"Yep, you did it." Kireina nodded, congratulating her. "Well done, Brunhild. Now, let's-"

Ding!

[The Dimensional Universal Ruler [Supreme King of the Dead] is watching you with a smile.]

[The Universal Ruler [Primordial Summoner of the Maxima Throne] laughs.]

"What…?"

Crack… crack…

CRAAASH!

Suddenly, right in front of Kireina and everybody else, several portals all around them opened! The gates led to a dark and mysterious place, where millions of Undead of all shapes and forms suddenly started pouring out from.

"Gates to the Necrotic Plane again?!" Kireina asked furiously.

"E-Eh?! This wasn't in my plans!" Brunhild said.

"Mother!" Amiphossia flew towards her mother Kireina.

"Looks like we've got some more company now." Ryo sighed.

"What is the meaning of this?! From where are they managing to open these portals?!" Luminous roared.

"T-That presence…" Elfina began to shiver, fully knowing and recognizing the presence of the entity glancing at them across the countless of smaller portals spread around the battlefield.

"Hahah… HAHAHAHAHA!" The laughter of Hercules suddenly started echoing around the entire landscape, as his corpse started moving by itself, his empty eyes beginning to glow with blue phantasmal flames.

Thousands of spirits and ghosts flew into his corpse, fusing with it as he stood up from his former grave in just a split of a second. His domain was now gone, but there was an even more potent strength surging from his body now…

Kireina swiftly noticed it, there was a black crystal inside of his chest, glowing with Nether Energy and enhancing his strength even further.

"I never thought I would actually die… I severely underestimated you." He said. "This is merely my second wind, a little… insurance, if the worse were to ever happen to me."

His Giants quickly stood up, groaning like giant zombies. Armors made of bones grew over their bodies, and their stats started to skyrocket even further…

"Are you kidding me?!" Sol roared, immediately being attacked by the Zombie Giants.

"Looks like this bastard refuses to die!" Said Luminous. "Dammit, these damn things!"

"So you're cooperating with the invaders of your own world?" Wondered Kireina. "Huh…"

Hector had created a pact with the ruler of the Netherworld just in case he were to die, the conditions to maintain it and his future resurrection were also simple, he had to slowly grow a black crystal in his chest, and with it, it could be possible to summon Gates leading to the Necrotic Plane instantly!

"So this is not over yet…" Brunhild gasped for air. "Hahh… Fine… I won't give up either!"

FLAAASH!

Kireina waved her hand as she conjured a powerful healing buff on Brunhild, her exhaustion was gone in an instant.

"Amiphossia, Ryo, stay around us an ensure nobody will interfere." Sighed Kireina. "It is getting repetitive, I know, but we'll have to just beat him a second time for him to understand there's no way out of this."

"Hahaha! You're being too confident once more!" Hercules laughed. "This time, I am a completely different being! I have surpassed what a living being could ever accomplish!!!"

FLUOOOOSH!

The giant's aura merged with his new Necrotic powers, as he exuded the aura of a being that even surpassed Necrotic Death Overlords! Although he himself had now become something very similar to them.

FLAAASH!

Unlike previously, where he was sluggish, his speed had increased hundreds of times over, he immediately rushed towards Brunhild and Kireina, swinging his gigantic hammer that now had gained bone-like decorations, and held over a hundred thousand souls within.

"[Netherworld's Catastrophe]!"

The giant unleashed an endless barrage of attacks using his hammer, each time he hit the ground, cracks opened and countless phantasmal flames surged like endless eruptions coming straight from the depths of hell.

CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAAAASH!

Brunhild and Kireina quickly evaded the attacks as they stepped back, quickly glancing at Hercules who continuously unleashed attacks attempting to catch them.

"Are you always going to run away, cowards?!" Hercules laughed, his empty eyes glowing with blue phantasmal flames. He suddenly opened his skeletal jaws, unleashing a gigantic breath attack made up of these very flames. "[Netherworld's Breath]!"

FLUOOOOSH!

BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!

An enormous explosion spread everywhere, covering the entire place with phantom, nether, and miasma everywhere… the distortion in the land quickly brought upon small domains that started to spread.

"You've surely gotten a second wind, I'll have to admit it!"

Kireina reached right behind him, unleashing several piercing blows with her two spears, and then growing two other arms and using Shadrach and Silva at the same time, four Ego Weapons attacked him all at once!

"[Divine Cosmic Myriad Weapon Barrage]!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAAASH! CRAAAASH!

Each of her blows grew more in intensity as each attack carried the Ego's strongest skills with them, unleashing explosions of darkness, light, chaos, void, water, ice, flames, and cosmic power.

"Hah… Hahahaha! That's it! Keep going! It won't be fun if you don't do your best~!" Hercules mocked Kireina, intercepting her strong hits with his gigantic hammer weapon, which suddenly shapeshifted into two long and sharp black blades.

"[Netherworld's Blade Cross]!" He swung both blades at the same time, one horizontally and the other vertically, as they formed a cross-shaped attack made of concentrated power, slashing through Kireina's techniques and throwing her away with immense power!

CLAAAAAAASSSHHH!!!
