Mithius, Atos, Fenrir, and Chaos exchanged glances, adding the now silent Zeus to their count.
A total of five supreme gods!
Hades!
A name quickly surfaced in their minds.
"Where is that Hades? Why hasn't he appeared yet?" Mithius frowned and asked solemnly.
"Didn't he see Zeus's lightning bolts?"
"That's unlikely!" Fenrir shook his head. "Even from inside the volcano, I sensed the fluctuations of Zeus's lightning bolts. How could he not have?"
"As long as he's on the Heavenly Road, he can't not sense it."
"Perhaps he's busy with something right now," Chaos mused.
"Impossible!" Atos shook his head. "Even if something truly monumental were happening, that's no reason for him not to appear!"
...
Listening to them discuss Hades and observing their perplexed expressions, Ao Yuan couldn't help but feel amused. They had no idea that Hades had already perished.
Not only had he been killed by Ao Yuan, but it had also happened before Zeus!
"Wait!"
At that very moment, Mithius's expression changed drastically.
All their gazes turned towards him in unison. He was holding a jade pendant, which bore several cracks.
They all possessed such jade pendants, each containing a wisp of a supreme god's soul.
If a supreme god died, their jade pendant would show a crack.
And if all of them were shattered, it would signify the demise of all six supreme gods.
"Ha... Hades has fallen!" Facing their gazes, he looked down at the jade pendant, his expression incredibly complex, and said.
"What!"
Upon hearing this, even though they had lived for eons and rarely showed emotion, they couldn't help but reveal shock.
They had never imagined that Hades had also fallen.
Two supreme gods had perished in such a short span of time!
What did this signify? This was something that hadn't happened in tens of thousands of years!
"Mithius, you... could you be mistaken?" Fenrir asked with difficulty after a long silence.
Nodding involuntarily, they all felt the same.
It wasn't that they didn't want to believe it, but the matter was simply too difficult to accept.
Zeus's demise was already absurd.
And Hades's strength was known to be even greater than Zeus's.
In fact, if they were to rank their strength, he would be considered mid-tier.
How powerful was that?
To put it this way, even the strongest among them wouldn't dare to claim they could defeat Hades.
However, what shook them the most was that Hades was dead.
And they had been completely unaware of it.
This was the most terrifying aspect. It meant someone possessed the strength to eliminate any one of them!
Except for perhaps the strongest one or two.
Mithius took a deep breath and looked at them. "Do you think I would joke about something like this?"
His words sent everyone's spirits plummeting to rock bottom.
Silence fell upon them all.
Mithius's statement implied a great deal.
It seemed the Heavenly Road had been anything but peaceful lately.
Not only was there an expert capable of killing Hades, but another capable of killing Zeus had also appeared!
"Hey!"
Just as they were lost in thought, a sharp shout suddenly rang out.
"Do you think you're not taking me seriously?"
Before the words even finished,
*Pfft!*
Cracks suddenly appeared on the ground.
Vivid green vines surged from the earth, coiling around the four supreme gods.
These vines moved like massive pythons.
Faced with this attack, all the supreme gods snapped back to reality.
At the same time, their expressions turned solemn.
Because.
Even this simple attack from Ao Yuan made them feel threatened. Although the threat was negligible, it was still a simple move.
The few supreme gods mobilized their divine energy, forming protective shields around themselves.
*Splat!*
The numerous vines wrapped around, but they couldn't break through the shields.
However, they managed to obscure the shields entirely.
"Break!"
At that moment, four distinct shouts echoed.
With a resounding *bang*,
The vines entwined around Mithius's shield were severed by an unknown force.
As for Fenrir's shield, it was suddenly engulfed by searing lava, which instantly turned the vines to ash.
Atos and Chaos did the same, effortlessly dissolving the vines that had wrapped around their shields.
When supreme gods made their move, their power was evident.
However, their gazes towards Ao Yuan grew more serious.
Although they didn't know how Ao Yuan had killed Zeus,
This display of vines was enough to earn their attention.
"Who exactly are you!" Mithius stared intently at Ao Yuan and asked in a low voice.
"Me?"
Ao Yuan pointed to himself, and his aura suddenly surged!
"Heaven and Earth Pressure!"
"No, it's also Dragon Clan Pressure!"
"You're a dragon!"
Sensing Ao Yuan's aura, the faces of the supreme gods shifted several times.
"Roar!"
Having his identity guessed, Ao Yuan didn't dare to underestimate them.
These were supreme gods!
A single misstep could lead to his demise!
His terrifying aura was fully unleashed, and a golden light erupted from within him.
Ao Yuan's form began to rapidly transform.
In the blink of an eye, Ao Yuan changed from human form into a magnificent dragon!
He hovered in mid-air, his pale golden eyes gazing down at the four below!
"A dragon!"
"It truly is a dragon!"
Seeing Ao Yuan reveal his true form, their expressions became even more grave.
They didn't attack immediately, their eyes constantly appraising Ao Yuan.
Their expressions were inscrutable.
Ao Yuan, hovering in the void, didn't make a rash move either.
These individuals were not weak. While a sudden attack might catch them off guard,
Ao Yuan wasn't confident he could kill a supreme god in a single blow!
"Since you are of the dragon race, Zeus's death at your hands can be considered fitting!"
After a long silence, Mithius spoke solemnly. "We demand that you apologize to Zeus."
"Furthermore, you will sever your own claws and swear eternal servitude to us."
"Then we might spare your life! Otherwise, we will have no choice but to kill you to avenge Zeus!"
The other three supreme gods remained silent, clearly in agreement with Mithius's words.
"Hmph!"
Ao Yuan let out a cold snort. "Zeus's death was his own doing!"
"If you all remain peacefully on the Heavenly Road in the future, I shall withdraw!"
It wasn't that he didn't want to deal with them, but Ao Yuan wasn't confident he could defeat them one by one.
Ultimately, these individuals were all incredibly powerful.
"What an arrogant dragon cub!"
Fenrir roared, his voice echoing.
He suddenly flickered, vanishing from his original spot.
