Yi Shuihan, who was engaged in battle, had no idea that two women were arguing over him. He was completely unable to concentrate on fighting Hades.

Even the original body was unaware of the clone's feelings at this moment. The clone, completely engrossed in the battle, felt a sense of comfort throughout its body, as if it had drunk an iced drink on a cool summer day, or as if its soul had been replenished with new spring water when it was parched.

If possible, the clone even hopes that this battle will last a long time, rather than ending prematurely due to one accident or another.

To others, this would seem like affectation or pretentiousness, but in reality, his feelings about it are perfectly normal.

As the saying goes, "No fight, no friendship." Yi Shuihan wouldn't become friends with Hades after fighting him, but even if he didn't like Hades, he had to admit that he was a good opponent in terms of combat, even if the reason why Hades fought so hard was perhaps to avoid injuring him.

For the clone, this was the first time fighting someone of similar level and strength. The battle wasn't a complete rout, so he could gain a lot of combat experience. His combat ability improved rapidly at a visible rate during the battle with Hades.

Just as forces are reciprocal, while Yi Shuihan was improving, Hades was also improving at a fast pace; otherwise, he would have lost long ago, and Yi Shuihan would not have acknowledged him as an opponent.

Hades and Yi Shuihan clashed almost every moment, their moves changing countless times in an instant. Each change in angle, force, speed, and force resulted in different outcomes.

At this moment, Yi Shuihan and Hades didn't need to think about tactics at all. They were completely relying on their fighting instincts and vague feelings. By the time they decided how to make their move, the battle was already over.

The intensity of the battle was slowly increasing, and the sense of oppression was growing stronger. Thanatos was just watching, but sweat was already pouring down his forehead. This would be normal for an ordinary person, but it was a completely different story for Thanatos, a second-class god. You should know that even if a dozen Gold Saints were in front of him, he could defeat them all without shedding a single drop of sweat.

In the Sanctuary, the group of Gold Saints stood together, feeling the impact of this battle that far surpassed their own abilities; each of them was deathly pale.

"Hades, the god of the underworld, is so strong. How did we manage to defeat him before?"

"Aiolia, don't boost others' morale and diminish your own. No matter how strong Hades is, he has never won a battle against us Saints."

"Under the leadership of the goddess Athena, we Saints are invincible, no matter who our opponent is."

"Brother Yi is so strong, to be able to fight Hades like this. I really hope that Brother Yi will win in the end, then we will win this battle for the origin."

"Yes! I hope Brother Yi wins."

The fans all hoped that Yi Shuihan would win, and silently cheered for him in their hearts.

"This aura, is it his? A god! So powerful!"

Beside a lake, Netero gazed at the darkness in the sky and sighed.

"This gap is truly disheartening."

Jin, Xiao Jie's father, was fishing, wearing a straw raincoat. However, he was destined not to catch any fish. It wasn't that there were no fish, but with two powerful beings at the main god level fighting so fiercely, the fish were trembling at the bottom of the water, not even glancing at the bait. Even if the bait was right next to their mouths, they wouldn't open their mouths to eat it.

If the battle between Yi Shuihan and Hades continues like this, these fish might remain motionless until they starve to death.

Chapter 866, A Secret Maneuver

"Are they finally going to make their move?"

Poseidon saw Yi Shuihan suddenly create a clone. This clone did not reveal any external aura, but Poseidon inexplicably felt that the clone's strength was no less than that of the one currently fighting.

How on earth is it done?

Poseidon was quite shocked by the way Yi Shuihan's clone appeared, after all, he had never seen a clone appear so easily.

If the main god of their world also knew this trick, there would be no need for reincarnation or anything like that; he could just create a clone each time and that would be enough.

The Universal Clone Technique was just a bronze skill, one that Yi Shuihan purchased in his earliest days. At most, it could only possess three-tenths of the user's original strength. However, its power has now surpassed the system's description, and the clone can now unleash five-tenths of its original strength.

This is clearly due to the continuous improvement and changes in the system. Creating three clones can guarantee a maximum of five layers; any more and the strength of the clones will decrease.

The original body and the newly appeared clone exchanged a glance, and then the clone nodded and disappeared from the spot.

"What's going on? There's still no movement."

Poseidon assumed his clone was going to deal with Hades, but after waiting for a long time without any movement, he became somewhat puzzled.

"Don't wait any longer, get started!"

He couldn't help but speak to Yi Shuihan's true form.

"Do it? Why do you do it?"

The main body stared at Poseidon in astonishment.

"Stop pretending, quickly get your clones to team up and take down Hades."

Poseidon's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant, and he seemed dissatisfied with Yi Shuihan's attitude.

"You don't actually think that clone went up there, do you?"

Pointing to the sky, Yi Shuihan's true form smiled.

"Uh! Isn't that right?"

Poseidon was taken aback and finally realized something was wrong.

"Of course not, he has more important tasks to do."

"What is the more important task?"

What is the more important task? Naturally, it is to raid the enemy's lair. Yi Shuihan would definitely not tell Poseidon this. It would be best if only Poseidon knew that he could now join the struggle for the origin. Sneaking in and hiding his native identity was the right thing to do.

Seeing that Yi Shuihan remained silent, Poseidon knew he wouldn't get any information out of her, and he couldn't guess anything either. He vaguely felt that his alliance with Yi Shuihan might have been a mistake.

...

"This is the underworld? It doesn't seem that great! It's not even as good as my netherworld."

The third clone easily infiltrated Hades' stronghold, the Underworld. The desolation before him, compared to the Netherworld in his personal world, led him to easily conclude that the Underworld was inferior to the Netherworld. He estimated that the only advantage the Underworld had over the Netherworld was its ability to accommodate Silver-level experts.

Without encountering any obstacles, Yi Shuihan easily found the place where Hades had placed the source carrier in a corner of the underworld. It seemed that Hades had not expected anyone to come to his base to snatch people, so the place was easy to find.

When Yi Shuihan appeared, these origin carriers were gathered together discussing something. Yi Shuihan listened carefully and was somewhat surprised. It turned out that these people were discussing whether or not to follow Hades. After all this time, Hades still hadn't subdued these people.

"What's the use of saying all this now? Hades is the King of the Underworld, he controls the underworld, and our lives are in his hands. Even if we have any ideas, we can't implement them at all. You've already seen the power of the gods, it's too strong."

"Not to mention Hades, even the power of his subordinates, such as Death and Hypnos, and even the power of those Specters, is beyond our ability to resist."

"Accept your fate. At least Hades promised us that as long as we acknowledge him, we can all have eternal life. If we don't want eternal life, we can just go back to our own worlds when things are over."

"I really hope Athena's Saints can take us to the Sanctuary!"

When the topic of Saint Seiya came up, these people fell silent, and most of them had a look of longing on their faces.

"Saint Seiya is truly deeply ingrained in people's hearts; it's incredibly popular."

Yi Shuihan secretly admired Athena's methods; her brainwashing was quite effective. In fact, according to normal circumstances, choosing Hades' side would obviously be advantageous to him. Joining Athena's side would at most give him a righteous reputation, but there would be virtually no benefits; he would still die when it was his turn.

They fought against Hades' army in life; not only were they killed, but even those who survived death faced eternal torment in the underworld.

Athena wouldn't care about them at that time.

Athena's success was largely due to the prevailing worldview that justice would inevitably triumph over evil, which shows that most people still yearn for light.

Ultimately, it was Hades who was too arrogant, failed to adequately promote the underworld, and looked down on ordinary humans. Little did he know that the power these ants in his eyes could actually unleash was enough to astonish even gods like himself.

Why is it that the protagonist is usually the one in the order of good and order? Hades is clearly a god of the evil camp, so it is naturally difficult for him to win people's hearts. His goal is to destroy all mankind.

"I don't have any Saint Seiya characters, how about I?"

His sudden appearance in the middle of the crowd instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"who are you?"

A man in a suit mustered his courage and asked, his eyes filled with expectation.

"Me!" Yi Shuihan rested his chin on his hand, his eyes lit up, and with a wink, he instantly conveyed the basic information they needed to know to everyone.

"An otherworldly god, possessing power even greater than Hades, whose warriors are also from other realms. Hades's goal is to destroy all of humanity..."

"So, are you sure you want to come with me?"

In the end, most people decided to follow Yi Shuihan, but only three people remained obstinate.

Yi Shuihan didn't kill those who were stubborn and deluded; he just knocked them unconscious, hitting them a little too hard. He estimated that their IQ would drop by several tens of percentage points when they woke up.

"You will stay in my world for a while, and I will let you out when the time is right."

Open the portable world, throw everyone in, and the mission is complete.

"Since I've come all this way and there's no one managing this place, I'll do a good deed and guide these souls to the underworld."

Next, the gates of hell were opened directly in the underworld, and a large number of high-quality souls were transferred to Yi Shuihan's world to become part of the underworld's soul army.

Yi Shuihan certainly didn't guide souls out of boredom. These high-quality souls would be useful in Yi Shuihan's world, strengthening its origins and accelerating its evolution.

Chapter 867, The Appearance of the Doppelganger Shocks the Gods

The gods were astonished by the appearance of the clone.

The underworld is so vast, and the number of souls accumulated over countless years is immense. It's clearly unrealistic for Yi Shuihan to want to empty it out; even if he did, his underworld probably wouldn't be able to hold them all.

That's why Yi Shuihan chose high-quality souls. What are high-quality souls? They are those that have undergone the great changes on Earth and evolved after the changes. One of these souls is probably worth dozens of the previous ones.

"Those souls in the River Styx have been there for who knows how many years, and all they do is wail all day. If I take them back, not only will they strengthen our own origins, but they will also pollute the environment."

The thought of those souls with numb faces, ugly appearances, and who only knew how to wail all day long gave Yi Shuihan an urge to destroy them.

After three full days of work, Yi Shuihan finally left the underworld. By then, the underworld already had nearly a billion high-quality souls, and the place no longer looked as empty as it had at the beginning.

Those who were originally Shinigami from the Soul Society, now Yin Gods, jumped for joy when they saw that they were in charge of so many souls. Their previous status was too low. Even though they were called Shinigami, they probably only managed a few hundred thousand people, which was incomparable to their current status.

In the past, an ordinary Grim Reaper would be lucky to have a few hundred or a thousand ordinary souls envying him. Now, every one of them indulges hundreds of thousands of souls, which feels incredibly satisfying.

It could be said that they've only just begun to taste the power of authority; their loyalty to Soul Society has long since vanished. Now it's time to let them experience it.

Originally, none of them would have gone to Soul Society to become captains.

Yi Shuihan was unaware that his impromptu act had won him the loyalty of most of the Grim Reapers, but even if he had known, he would have simply laughed it off.

"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like I'm being watched by something. That shouldn't be the case. With my current strength, even the strongest Zeus in this world couldn't do this."

For some reason, both Yi Shuihan's main body and his clone suddenly experienced this feeling, but he couldn't figure out the source of it.

Feeling a little more wary, he decided to take the initiative and send his third clone, who was supposed to return, to search for Zeus's whereabouts.

At the same time, Mount Lu

The clone who was fighting Hades suddenly froze, and Hades seized the opportunity to regain the upper hand. Just as Hades was about to take advantage of the situation to expand his advantage, the clone spoke.

"Hades, should we call you confident or arrogant? You actually brought all the combat personnel out here, leaving such a vast place as the Underworld unattended."

Hades' expression shifted slightly upon hearing this. "Don't try to distract me with trash talk."

"Trash talk? Heh, is that what you think?" Yi Shuihan used telepathy to give Hades an address.

Hades' expression changed drastically in an instant, because that address was exactly where he had placed the Source Carrier.

"You're despicable for sending your warriors to the underworld."

"Uh!"

Yi Shuihan was taken aback, then realized that Hades had misunderstood. It was no wonder that Hades would think that way, after all, he didn't even know that the one he was facing was a clone, and he hadn't seen any of Yi Shuihan's fighters here. According to his intelligence, he knew about Xiao Jie and the others.

There was no explanation; Hades simply smiled slightly, as if to say, "Let the misunderstanding continue."

Thanatos, who was standing to the side, heard Hades' words and immediately wanted to go back to the Underworld to take a look, but Yi Shuihan's words made him stay where he was.

"I dare to tell you now because the matter is already finished. Also, I took some things you didn't want and helped clean up the underworld for you. You're welcome."

Hades was in a terrible mood, having failed miserably in his attempt to steal a chicken. If he had the strength to absolutely crush Yi Shuihan, he would have already unleashed his power. Unfortunately, the previous battle had shown him that Yi Shuihan's strength was no weaker than his own.

For a moment, Hades was at a loss and became somewhat confused.

The clone looked at Hades with some regret. He knew the battle wouldn't last long when the main body sent the message. To be honest, he would have preferred to continue fighting Hades.

"How come I never realized I had this potential to be a battle maniac before?" I asked myself, but I couldn't find a definite answer.

Hades suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed intently on Yi Shuihan, and said...

"No matter what tricks you use, as long as I defeat you, everything will be back to normal. In the end, this world is still ruled by strength."

Hades's aura intensified as he spoke, seemingly because he had come to understand something; he now possessed more confidence than before.

The reason why we must defeat Yi Shuihan.

Even though Hades desperately wanted to defeat Yi Shuihan before, it wasn't to the point of necessity. But now, if he couldn't defeat Yi Shuihan, this battle for the origin would be over for him, and his ambitions would be bankrupt. Hades would never give up the opportunity to become the true ruler of this world and stand above Zeus, which he had waited for countless years to finally get.

His fighting spirit was fully ignited. Before, he fought with all his might because he was afraid of getting injured, but now that reason has changed. It is for the sake of the supreme god's throne that will soon be created.

Yi Shuihan also noticed Hades' change and was similarly aroused in his fighting spirit. Instead of being afraid, he felt that this was for the best.

As if realizing something, the clone withdrew its fighting spirit, as if it no longer wanted to fight Hades.

"What? You think you can run away!"

Hades looked at the clone in surprise.
