chapter-544
Olympus was like a burden Yeon-woo always had to carry in his heart. Athena had always looked warmly on Jeong-woo and Yeon-woo, and Hermes was like an older brother who had taken care of Yeon-woo from the beginning.
Hades had guided Yeon-woo not only to find Jeong-woo’s soul but also walk the path of a god. Poseidon had been an enemy at first, but he had helped Yeon-woo in the end. Ares was a bit of a foolish character, but he still tried to appear admirable until the end.
Although Yeon-woo hadn’t spoken much to Apollo, Artemis, or Dionysus, they had been encouraging of his actions, and even though Hestia, Demeter, and others tried to block his path, Yeon-woo didn’t feel too resentful of them.
From the time that Yeon-woo entered the Tower, he had always been deeply involved with Olympus. He had clashed against them occasionally, but they had still been his faithful allies. But now, they had been defeated in Tartarus and forced to retreat to Erebus, and they were even thinking of leaving the heavenly world. A few of them might have already left.
Now that Yeon-woo had grown as powerful as he could and had a substantial group to back him up, he couldn’t postpone recapturing Tartarus any longer. He couldn’t enter Tartarus by himself, but he couldn’t take Arthia with him since they needed to remain on the floors to find the Sea of Time. He couldn’t force his giant army into Tartarus without any preparation, as well.‘The Titans and Gigantes have succeeded in ascending to Olympus. Since they’ve likely recovered most of their divinity, they’ll be more powerful than ever.’ Furthermore, they had Mother Earth behind them. As the common enemy of all legends, she was an entity who could not be dismissed. ‘And I need to be aware of the movements of the rest of the heavenly world.’
Although the Titans and Gigantes were blatantly working with Mother Earth, they hadn’t received any sanctions from the societies of the heavenly world. It was clear that an underhanded exchange had been made that Yeon-woo didn’t know about.
Additionally, Yeon-woo had planted seeds of division among the societies in the hidden stage of the sixtieth floor. ‘With this, my enemies and allies will be clearly differentiated. It’s gonna be a rough fight in many ways.’
Yeon-woo needed to recapture Tartarus no matter what. Tartarus was Hades’ holy territory. As someone who had succeeded to the Throne of Death, Yeon-woo couldn’t recover all his divine authority without taking back the land. ‘Most importantly, I won’t be able to defeat Allforone if I’m not able to defeat the Titans and Gigantes.’ Reclaiming Tartarus was a crucial event no less important than a colossal war.
‘It’s almost time.’ Yeon-woo looked up at the sky. It was guaranteed he’d clash against many of the gods and demons in Tartarus. Entering alone was like suicide. Fortunately, he knew some folks he could call his allies.
At that moment, the sky began to shake.

At the same time, rays of bright white light flashed above Laputa, and two bolts landed in front of Yeon-woo. The light slowly took on human forms. One of them was Erlang Shen, whom Yeon-woo was already familiar with, and the other was a strange man with blazing red hair and an assortment of various weapons and artifacts on his person.
He had a thick whip in his left arm and three swords hung from his belt. Two long spears and a giant shield were strapped to his back. The thick bronze armor on his body was scratched—evidence of what he’d gone through—but it still had a certain aura. Under his helm were intense eyes that made whoever looked into them shiver.
Yeon-woo instantly recognized him. ‘Prince Nezha.’
The Chan Sect enjoyed an era of prosperity under the guidance of the three leaders after the fall of the Yellow Emperor.
Erlang Shen became the center of all policies and played a dominant role in leading the Chan Sect, Thunder Lorddemonstrated his courage as a one-man army, and Prince Nezha…
As you can tell by his royal title, Prince Nezha has a prominent position within the Chan Sect. It’s said that during the Yellow Emperor’s rule, Prince Nezha was created to be then-general Li Jing’s son specifically for the war against the Jie Sect.
He is a human weapon made from pouring the most precious treasures and artifacts into the soul of an old hero. That is who Prince Nezha is.
