“Hades?”
“Quick.” Hades hurried Yeon-woo as if there wasn’t much time left.
Yeon-woo bit his lip. Of course, he knew that Hades was trying to pass down everything he had before he closed his eyes forever—his throne, power, holiness, divinity, legends, and everything else he’d accumulated
Yeon-woo had rescued Hades hoping he would regain the will to live and take care of the mess in Tartarus, but Hades was sure that he no longer had a role to play. “I’m already a part of the old generation. Just as the Black King faded away and Mother Earth stepped back, it’s time for me to give up my position to you and retreat into history. Besides, who would follow me, the cause of all this mess, even if I raised my sword again?”
Hades smiled faintly at the grim-looking Yeon-woo. It was a smile that had none of his usual cynicism or scorn, and Yeon-woo had never seen it on Hades’ face before. However, it suited Hades, as though revealing that he wasn’t only the cold King of the Underworld Yeon-woo had seen. Did he once smile like this in the past? “If a new successor were to appear, it would be like a spark for the resurrection of Dis Pluto.” Hades wanted Yeon-woo to use him since he was a setting sun anyway. If he continued to rule Dis Pluto, they would face nothing but loss.However, if he fought the enemies on the frontlines, and his successor led Dis Pluto after his death, it would be a completely different situation. They would be able to reorganize under their new leader, and their will to fight would rise as they mourned their dead king.
Hades wanted to leave the future of Dis Pluto and the Underworld in Yeon-woo’s hands, believing that their continuation was only possible with Yeon-woo. “Although it’s a bit late, I still want my subordinates to remember me as a good king in the end. Can you help me?”
Yeon-woo couldn’t answer and clenched his teeth. His head spun as he tried to come up with other things they could do to save Hades.
『Hyung…』Jeong-woo anxiously said.
Boom! Boom! The barrier shook violently, and the color of the shadows intensified. The Giants pounded more violently to break the barrier, and it was in danger of collapsing.
“Hurry.”
Yeon-woo had no choice but to kneel when he saw the urgency in Hades’ eyes. “Yes, Your Majesty.” He slowly lowered his head and took off his mask. Hades nodded with a solemn face as he tapped Yeon-woo’s head and shoulders with his sword.“Will the successor
