Inside the Hades Temple
Hades came to the room where the murals of the Specters were previously painted. His eyes widened, emitting purple light waves as he spoke:
"Revive, my Specters, and serve me once again."
As Hades's words fell, the images of the Specters on the murals also shimmered with purple light. The Specters in the murals materialized and stepped out from the paintings.
Meanwhile, the Wyvern underworld armor beside the mural turned into several streaks of purple light, equipping itself onto Rhadamanthys as he stepped out from the mural.
"Thank you for your blessing, Lord Hades!!" Led by Rhadamanthys, the Specters knelt devoutly on the ground and shouted toward Hades.
Hades's eyes shifted, and with a terrifyingly calm gaze, he looked at one of the Earthly Specters behind Rhadamanthys and said:
"Niobe, the Deep Specter of the Earthly Dark Star, do you know why your Earthly Specters were eliminated so quickly?"
Niobe, who had been called out, was so frightened by Hades's terrifying gaze that he didn't dare look up. Drenched in cold sweat, he said in a state of extreme panic:
"Yes, yes! Lord Hades, we were too overconfident and held back, which is why we were so easily dealt with by the White Dragon Emperor...!!"
Hades, as if terrifying enough to freeze the entire universe with a single glance, stared at the shivering Earthly Specters and said:
"Considering this was your first battle after awakening, I will forgive you this once. Do not make such amateur mistakes again, or you will never have the chance to be revived again."
"Yes, yes..." The kneeling Earthly Specters breathed a sigh of relief in secret.
Afterward, Hades led the revived Specters out of the Hades Temple to a relatively wide meadow. Issei Hyoudou and Vali were carried there by the Earthly Specters. Hades gently snapped his fingers.
Snap—!!!
Dimensional Screens appeared throughout the various hells, alternate dimensions, and foreign spaces of the Underworld. Hades began to transmit his voice using his Cosmos:
'All Specters, Guardian Dragons (Beasts), and Twin Gods, hear my command. The trial has ended. Bring the enemies in your hands to Elysium.'
'Yes! Lord Hades!!' The voices of all the Specters, Guardian Dragons (Beasts), and Twin Gods instantly echoed in Hades's mind.
Upon hearing Hades' command, the various divisions of the Underworld immediately took their defeated opponents into the Dimensional Screens. However, things were a bit difficult for Huang and the Twin Gods.
Because they not only had to break through the space but also drag their opponents into the Dimensional Screens. Their opponents were all large in size and numerous, requiring quite a bit of effort.
After a while, all the Specters, Guardian Dragons, and Twin Gods who had appeared reached Hades's location.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Each Specter took out the Bell of Soothing assigned to them by Hades and began to shake them gently. Countless waves of majestic life force rose from the bodies of the fallen Sirzechs and the others.
Their injuries gradually healed, and their complexions improved.
"Where is this? The Human World?" Sirzechs was the first to wake up. Seeing the beautiful blue sky, he thought he was in the Human World.
At that moment, Rhadamanthys, holding his helmet, looked down at Sirzechs and said with a smile:
"This is Elysium, Sirzechs."
When Sirzechs clearly saw that the person before him was Rhadamanthys, he scrambled to his feet in a hurry and said:
"Rha! Rha!! Rhadamanthys!!"
Sirzechs hadn't expected that Rhadamanthys, who was supposed to be dead, would actually be standing alive before him.
"Where is this?"
"Could this be the Garden of Eden?"
"Weren't we fighting the Specters and Guardian Dragons? Why are we here now?"
The people who had regained consciousness slowly stood up and looked around Elysium. The green grass, the azure sky, and the beautiful sea of flowers were simply like a scene from a beautiful natural paradise.
"This is Elysium, a paradise that only virtuous souls can reach after death," Hades said as he stepped forward toward the crowd.
"Hades!!" Upon seeing Hades, the recovered Sirzechs, Michael, and Azazel stood up in an instant, looking at him with great vigilance.
And the people who had arrived in the Underworld first shared the same attitude as the three of them.
Another group had the opposite reaction of shock. Hearing Sirzechs and the other two call Hades "Hades," they repeatedly compared the cool, super-handsome guy in front of them with the skeletal Hades from before in their minds. Finally, their worldview shattered, and they shouted toward the sky:
"What did you three just say—!!!"
"This cool, black-haired hunk is my big brother Hades!!"
"Tell me this isn't true!!"
"How could that old skeleton Hades be such a super-handsome guy!!"
"No—!!"
"Eh~!! Snap out of it. Are you really that surprised to see my true appearance for the first time?" Hades sighed helplessly and then spoke to the frantic crowd.
"Of course!! The contrast you give us is just too great!!" The crowd shouted at Hades in unison, as if they had reached a consensus.
"Speaking of which, we seemed to be the same way before." Issei Hyoudou looked at Vali beside him.
"Yeah~." Vali sighed and nodded in agreement.
