Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Sparta Ascends to God-King! The War God and His Army Are Born!
The Star of War!
Here, under Sparta's guidance as he stepped into the Underworld, the entire Star of War is undergoing a profound transformation, evolving alongside its master's rise.
The Hell Realms!
They are far from something that can be created casually with a few words, not even by Hades himself.
Why did he create only eight realms of Hell? The answer is simple. Heaven, Earth, Sea, and Underworld.
These represent the natural cycle of a world's operations. Life begins in the sea, progresses to land, the living ascend to the heavens, and the dead enter the Underworld—this is the basic law of existence.
Thus, Hell's creation follows this same principle.
Hades's creation of the Eight Realms of Hell was his ultimate limit and precisely aligns with the cosmic order.
However!
As the Underworld continues to produce new God-Kings, additional realms of Hell emerge.
Aether has given rise to the Hell of Space.
Ceres has birthed the Hell of Specters.
Karl has brought forth the Hell of Destruction.
Moirai has created the Hell of Fate.
Eris has given rise to the Hell of Conflict and the Hell of Discord.
Europa has birthed the Hell of Earth.
Unbeknownst to many…
The Underworld has already produced six God-King-level deities, and each newly created Hell realm is seamlessly integrated into the Underworld, forming a part of its intricate structure.
Additionally…
There is Mephisto's Hell of Contracts.
It can be said that the eight realms of Hell are to the Underworld what dimensions are to a multiverse—distinct yet intrinsically connected, existing in a complex, interwoven relationship.
Such is the nature of Hell's creation.
Now!
With Sparta on the verge of entering the God-King realm, it marks the ascension of his War Star into the realm of War Hell.
"Roar!"
Standing upon the War Star, his torso bare and chiseled like a statue, Sparta unleashed a thunderous roar.
His terrifying divine power surged visibly, growing exponentially with every passing moment.
In a short time!
Titan Chief God?
God-King?
The barrier between these two levels seemed almost like a joke, easily shattered. Sparta has ascended to the level of a God-King.
For Sparta, as a model of devotion, once his arduous path of penance was complete, every step afterward was as easy as breathing.
Entering the God-King realm?
It was simply a natural progression.
Sparta's ascent has now made it clear beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Sparta's eyes gleamed with boundless divine power, a force so potent it seemed to consume all before it.
This is the power of Sparta as a newly ascended God-King.
Taking a deep breath, Sparta's divine power stabilized, and as he ascended, the War Star beneath his feet fully transformed into the War Hell.
No!
More aptly, it should be called the Hell of the War God.
Now, Sparta is not merely the God of War; he is, in every sense, the true War God.
A War God at the level of a God-King!
And this…
Is the crucial essence.
"Sparta!"
"Your Majesty!"
Sparta suddenly knelt on one knee as Hades stepped out from the gates of the Underworld. Behind him were Persephone and Eris, who now served as Persephone's close attendant.
"Greetings, Queen of the Underworld!"
Sparta saluted them with respect, his voice resonating with an iron-hard resolve.
"Sparta," Hades said calmly, looking at his first and perhaps most devout follower. After a brief silence, he stated, "You will not need to involve yourself in matters of the earthly realm. Instead, follow the Queen of the Underworld and prepare to venture into a new mythic world."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Sparta nodded without hesitation, his expression solemn.
Sparta is the War God.
And as a soldier and warrior, he never doubts his orders. His duty is to follow his lord's commands, no matter the destination.
What lies ahead?
It does not matter.
Even if that path is filled with trials or death, Sparta does not waver. To him, even death holds no fear if it's by his lord's command.
This is the essence of Sparta. For him, any order from his master is worth following, even if it leads to his demise.
"Sparta."
Hades spoke again, "Go now and bring back those who once followed you. With your advancement, they too have earned the right to return to your side."
"Yes!"
Sparta's eyes shone with joy; these were his former comrades! Many had fallen during past expeditions, and the dead had passed on.
Now, with his ascension, he could truly bring them back. They, too, were worthy of returning.
This was Sparta's hope.
Hades, Persephone, and Eris departed.
Sparta stood up, stretching out his hand as endless divine power poured forth.
In an instant!
Under the radiance of his divine power, shadowy figures began to materialize, each clad in dark purple battle armor, wielding a spear and shield, fully armed with helmets upon their heads.
Their numbers were vast.
These individuals were the soldiers who had once followed Sparta. Many had died in past expeditions, while others perished for different reasons, some even by choice.
But!
Regardless of how they died, these warriors—who, even as mortals of the Golden Age, should have returned to the earth—had entered the Underworld, lying in a dormant state, waiting for Sparta's call.
Now!
With Sparta's true entry into the realm of the God-King, each one awakened fully. Their eyes held an unyielding pride, each gaze blazing with a fierce fighting spirit.
