Reborn As Hades In Olympus

Ch. 161: Plans & Actions

Boom!

An explosion erupted from outside the hall then another. Soon the whole place was in chaos, people running around like wildfire had caught everywhere. I sent Poseidon flying into one of the pillars causing everywhere to shake, one of the explosions managed to get into the building and soon almost everyone was out of the hall that was shaking violently.

Billows of smoke and dust clouded my as I stood over Poseidon that lay on the ground defeated. I relaxed my muscles as I bent down to meet him, he raised his head his face looking weak as he spoke.

"Damn Hades did you have to do it so hard?" He asked as he groaned.

I looked at him for a moment before saying. "We did agree to do it for real and I only use 20% of my strength."

Poseidon rolled his eyes at me and said. "Why not kill me while you're at it."

I chuckled as I pulled him to his feet. He hissed out in pain as he clutched to the side of his ribs and collapsed back into the pillar that was already cracked. "Sorry, but you have to get out of here before Poseidon comes."

Poseidon looked up at me with the look of utter confusion in his face and then rage. "What are you talking about!? You put me in this condition. Ack! I think you broke my ribs."

I sighed.

What was going on? Simple— my plan.

On arrival, Talos had to impersonate Hecate since seeing me without my trusted aid would prove to be suspicious. On getting in I had her take care of the security room giving us full control over the systems and camera, Hermes then received the concealment cap from her which he took outside and handed to Hecate to then impersonate Poseidon.

What Talos had said earlier was the signal to prepare for Hecate's introduction as Poseidon. That way she could come in and cause a ruckus in an unrefined manner that was sure to make the real Poseidon lose face. To make it more real we rehearsed our fight, the main reason why she was chosen was because of her souls abilities m, it would make her the only one as imposing as the real Poseidon and she was also the only one able to take a blow from me and stay in one piece.

The explosions from outside were from the help of Madame Perisa's men, I had caused a stir and thrown their long awaited plan into chaos. Poseidon was sure to come soon and I would implicate him and uncover his planning to the world with the help of the cameras in the area. This was the place where we would have our final battle.

I sensed someone approaching me at a fast speed and hence I turned sharply, I did not sense any ill intent from it and it turned out to be— Aphrodite.

"I lost my mark." She cried out.

I almost hit my lower lip. "Where is she?"

"I lost her, I don't know how it happened." Aphrodite tried to justify herself.

I nodded in understanding. "This was within our planning remember. Pandora was beyond you already, help her up and get out of here before Poseidon comes."

Aphrodite nodded as she reached down and carried Hecate up. I reached out and pulled the concealment cap from her head and watched her true form come into light like something emerging from the deep if the ocean.

Aphrodite reached out and took the cap from me. "We might end up relying on it more than you would." She did have a point so I released my grip from it.

"Hades, she's here. Do we engage?" Hermes said through my earpiece.

Talos then spoke through the line. "The dispersers are in sight, but she's here."

I felt a sharp throbbing in my back causing me to jerk back sharply, my eyes went to the entrance that was covered in smoke making it unable to see past it. My heart was drumming wildly, it wasn't fear I was feeling but anticipation. Expectation.

"Poseidon's coming and he did not come alone." I could feel the presence of multiple others numbering hundreds, no thousands with him. Just where did he find such a number.

But coming out like this wouldn't it be risking too much? Unless he was betting it all on the black amber, because without it he would be unable to conquer Olympus as it was. The Bai corps, the other gods, there was no way he could beat them all with his army.

"Talos we have to deactivate those dispersers at all costs and Hermes try to keep Pandora occupied without touching her directly. Remember our practice? You are the only one who can touch her." I had deducted that when Hermes moves at high velocity he generated space and time principles which would allow him to interact with Pandora for short bursts making it easier to keep her at bay at least till I beat Poseidon to a pulp.

"And what if we find a chance to take her down permanently?" Hermes' voice came through the earpiece with more seriousness than I had ever head from him before.

I steeled my gaze at the entrance and said. "Do it. This time we'll win."

Aphorite and Hecate started to move to the stairs to offer assistance to those on the roof. Since the halls power had been cut off, the only light I had was the strong moonlight streaking into the hall from the window and door.

I sensed Poseidon's aura flood the place like a tsunami causing the windows to shatter and my long blue hair to dance in waves. My suit shook too, but I stood there with my hands tucked in my pocket my gaze cold and calm.

Soon I sensed hundred of souls approaching me in full force, what was this. Was his taunting me with such meagre flies or was he trying to guage my power either way.

BOOM!

The walls came crumbling down as the masked assailants all came through the door in great quantity.

"Well, if it's a battle of aura you want then.... You lose!" I unleashed the full force of my dominators aura and the entire place trembled, a surge of energy threatened to take down the building so I stopped. But the damaged had already been done, half of all my enemies had been been rendered u concioiby my power.

It seemed I would have to take the battle away from the building till my team was finally ready to take down the dispersers. I walked over the debris and to the exit in a confident advance. I walked into the moonlight seeing the fumes of smoke and and army of terrorists and in front of them was the green haired Poseidon standing there with a his eyes glowing even from the distance.

"Hades!!!" He boomed at me. "what's the meaning of all this?"

I stood there and said nothing letting the air intensify as I took in a deep breath and then sighed. The shadows started to gather around me like living vines. "Arise shadow legion!"

"Hold him off?" I muttered. "I'm just getting started."

The shadows around me writhed and coalesced, forming towering figures of pure darkness. My Shadow Legion rose at my command, their eyes glowing like embers as they turned to face Poseidon's forces.

"Charge," I commanded, my voice echoing through the ruined hall.

The legion surged forward, meeting Poseidon's army head-on. The clash was a symphony of chaos— metal against metal, cries of pain, and the deafening roar of unleashed power.

I noticed Poseidon observing me over the battle not daring to charge in recklessly, he was being cautious. Or was he waiting for the dispersers to go off? That couldn't be it right, with Hermes there there was no way through wouldn't be able to--

As if like a warning bell, the sound of the dispersers going off filled the air like an explosion. I looked up to see billows of black smoke rising to the sky like a funnel being sucked up by the night sky.

"Dammit!" I cursed under my breath.

"Was this what you were trying to prevent brother?" Poseidon boomed as threat.

I felt a deep worry that something might have happened to Hermes and Talos, was I wrong to leave Pandora to them? But it was what the situation called for, the best thing would be to worry about the problem in front of me at the moment.

Black clouds were starting to form in the sky slowly.

"Hades, we failed. I estimate five to eleven minutes before downpour and the scale is more than half of Olympus." Talos said through the earpiece.

I looked at Poseidon or the monster he had become and sighed. "I will finish this then, get out of the area all of you. As of now.... I will start fighting on my own terms."
