Chapter 292 Playing the Art of Wit on BabyBus

Hades City.

Inside the Hades Palace, Su Nian crossed her legs, looking down at the twin gods standing below, propping her head up with one hand, and said with amusement.

"I was right, you people are all so useless. Haven't you thought about joining forces with Poseidon for so long?"

At that moment, Hypnos, dressed in a black priest's robe, glanced at Unity, who was wearing Poseidon's sea dragon scales, and then lowered his head.

“You see, we only need to make one trip there and agree to just a few of this little guy’s requests, and Poseidon’s human form will agree to cooperate with us.”

Su Nian said with a hint of disdain.

"I refuse to believe that Athena, that woman, can still win this time, even with the two great god-kings joining forces."

Upon hearing this, Thanatos wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Hypnos.

Did they never consider joining forces with Poseidon in the past?
I really hadn't thought of that.

The main reason is that Poseidon, like Hades, was an enemy of Athena, but this does not mean that Poseidon and Hades had a good relationship.

They are all competitors for the land, and all want to win this long holy war.

If they were to join forces with Poseidon, after defeating Athena, the next moment would be the two brothers facing off against each other.

Moreover, given Hades' arrogance and caution, he neither believed nor thought that adding Poseidon would make any difference.

It was only after Su Nian, an outsider, came along that the idea of ​​Hades and Poseidon joining forces arose.

Normally, anyone who dares to propose such an idea would be courting disaster.

They really didn't expect Poseidon to actually agree.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, in the mythological era, Athena first destroyed his demonic orb, and then during the first Holy War, Athena's Saints destroyed his divine body, leaving only his divine soul to linger on.

Even his former territory, Atlantis, was sunk by the sacrifice of three Saints.

In this situation, it's understandable that he would agree to cooperate with Hades' army in order to take revenge on Athena.

At this moment, Su Nian gently tapped the armrest on the throne, looking at the Gemini Gods with a somewhat subtle expression.

They were actually being so honest? This was something Su Nian hadn't expected.

He thought the other party would raise questions.

But that's just right, it saves him from having to waste his breath.

The cooperation he and Sasha reached with Poseidon was not complicated. To put it simply, when they entered Elysium and fought Hades, Poseidon would launch a sneak attack and kill Hades completely.

However, the specific steps to reduce Hades' suspicions need to be carefully determined.

Su Nian's solution was simple: just get Poseidon and Hades' army to cooperate, since Poseidon's divine power and cosmos were with Seraphine.

In order to control Serafina and to give Unity a chance, Unity ultimately volunteered to become the vessel for Poseidon's soul, that is, his human form.

With the two sides joining forces, they could catch Hades off guard.

Then, support Aaron to become the true King of the Underworld, open the Abyss, and allow Su Nian and Sasha to find the Twelve Titans and uncover the secrets buried deep in their memories.

At this moment, Su Nian suddenly spoke up.

“Now that Poseidon has joined forces with us, and even Athena’s most important constellation, Pegasus, has fallen into our hands, with my help, we are certain to win this holy war.”

"But when facing Athena, I always have a bad feeling. As Hades' right-hand men, you should check for any shortcomings and fill in the gaps."

"What aspects of this holy war are we still unprepared for?"

Su Nian looked at Hypnos.

Hmm, what other trump cards does the Underworld have that he needs to deal with beforehand?

Upon hearing this, Hypnos lowered his head and pondered for a long time before finally raising his head to look at Su Nian and shaking his head.

"Our preparations are very comprehensive; there's nothing we haven't covered."

Upon hearing this, Su Nian glanced at Hypnos with some surprise.

No? There really aren't any left?
Hades, you're not just planning to outlive Athena in this Holy War, are you? What about your backup plan? What about all your elaborate preparations?
So, if Poseidon tells you to be cautious, are you really just being cautious? Don't you have any preparation for being the sixth person in line?
Do you really not know how many methods Athena prepared before her reincarnation? The Wailing Wall of Elysium can only be opened by the sun, but Athena has already devised a way to open it with the combined efforts of the twelve Gold Saints.

Although the original plan might have killed the Gold Saints, Su Nian still possesses the sovereignty of the sun, so a little bit of support would suffice.

And you really had no precautions at all against the Mu Luanzi that can prevent the resurrection of the Specters? No, to be more accurate, you didn't even know that the thing could prevent the resurrection of the Specters, did you?
No wonder Athena became the goddess of wisdom.

I feel like if those barbarians from Saint Seiya were placed in the Garden of Shadows, they wouldn't even survive the second year before being schemed against and killed.

That's true. Passion doesn't require much brains; passion is enough.

It's no wonder that there's still fertile ground for a complete idiot like Sasha to survive.

In a small garden, if someone were so kind-hearted, they would be morally blackmailed the very next day, placed on a moral high ground.

At that moment, Su Nian waved her hand gently.

"In that case, you may step down."

As expected, the people in the Saint Seiya universe are too innocent and too upright; even if they are cunning, they can't be that cunning.

Unlike the old coin in the miniature garden, you might not even know who's messing with you until you die.

It gave Su Nian the illusion that she was playing a game of wits on BabyBus.

A moment later, we walked through the luxurious yet elegant castle corridor, adorned with murals, vases, and red carpets.

Thanatos, who was following behind Hypnos, finally couldn't help but ask.

"Hypnos, don't you think this holy war has gone far too smoothly?"

Hearing Thanatos's question, Hypnos slowly stopped and turned to look at his twin brother.

“There’s no point in discussing this now, Thanatos.”

Thanatos was taken aback, clearly not understanding why Hypnos would say such a thing.

At this moment, Hypnos turned around and said calmly.

"After all, this was done by the son of God, so it can't be fake."

"And we've experienced holy wars that went even more smoothly than this before."

Upon hearing this, Thanatos immediately recalled the last Holy War, in which even the Pope betrayed them and joined their side.

In the end, Athena still managed to turn the tide and defeat them.

In the end, if they hadn't launched the sneak attack, who knows how many more eighth sense experts would have emerged in the Holy War Holy Domain this time?
"And now I suspect that the other party might not be Lucifer at all..."

Hypnoston paused and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"It is the Titan god—Cronus."

Upon hearing this, Thanatos was immediately taken aback.

"What??"

Thanatos was completely taken aback that Hypnos would guess Su Nian's identity was this. "That doesn't make sense. Wasn't Cronus always sealed in the abyss? And with His Majesty guarding it, there's no way they could have broken free, right?"

Thanatos was now truly drenched in sweat.

As the children of Nyx and belonging to the second generation of Titans, they were conventionally loyal to Cronus.

However, because Cronus was too cruel, they could not tolerate him and rebelled to Zeus's side, becoming Hades' servants.

This is how they survived round after round of purges against the Titans, but it is precisely because of this that they are now only at the level of a second-tier god.

But compared to their kind who are suppressed in the abyss, being alive is already a blessing.

But now... if Cronus were to return, given his personality, his first instinct would undoubtedly be to seek revenge against his former traitors.

Mnemosyne, the goddess of natural memory, was certainly the first to be dealt with as a traitor, followed by those who had sided with Zeus.

"I am also not certain."

Hypnos shook his head, feeling that there were simply too many mysteries surrounding Su Nian.

He didn't even know when His Majesty's memory went wrong, whether it was when it was stolen or when it was retrieved.
"But what I am certain of is that among all the gods, the only one who can completely manipulate memories is Mnemosyne."

Other figures, whether it be Meng Po from the underworld, Mimir, the Norse god of wisdom, or Thoth from Egypt, have omnipotence that at most involves protecting memories or forgetting.

Moreover, even so, their methods of influencing memories could not possibly work on gods who possess the will of the gods.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so wary of Mnemosyne.

“I had Fubertour infiltrate His Majesty’s dreams, but he couldn’t find any of His Majesty’s past memories in the dreams.”

Hypnos paused, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke.

"But that soul is undoubtedly His Majesty's, but that soul is too clean, like a piece of white paper that has been washed clean."

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Thanatos also felt that Hypnos's guess was true.

After all, they risked being discovered by His Majesty to infiltrate the dream, but in the end they found nothing. This was already quite unsettling.

Thinking of this, Thanatos sighed.

"Then what should we do?"

If Su Nian's identity is exposed, then... they will die a terrible death. If they tell His Majesty Hades, who is sleeping in the Pure Land of Bliss, they will still die a terrible death.

But if we just let things continue like this, it's just a slow death.

They were surrounded by certain death; what could they do? They were desperate themselves.
Upon hearing this, Hypnos sighed softly.

"The only option now is to seek help from the gods."

"But to whom?"

Thanatos asked the key question.

"To Apollo? Apollo will definitely convene the Council of the Twelve and summon the gods to attack Cronus."

"To Her Majesty the Queen of the Underworld!!"

Hypnos said firmly.

"This is our last resort. Only His Majesty Persephone can save us now."

Persephone, Hades's wife whom he forcibly took, is the Queen of the Underworld, the being who governs all living beings in the Underworld.

They are also one of the few powerful beings who are not among the twelve Olympian gods, and they hold a significant position on Mount Olympus.

Upon hearing this, Thanatos's face twitched, and he sighed.

"But His Majesty Persephone's relationship with His Majesty is not very good..."

Whoever is forcibly kidnapped to the underworld and imprisoned in the dark and desolate paradise to balance life and death in the underworld, who would have a good temper?
Not to mention that she was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, and the famous goddess of spring, a first-class deity, whose status was high even outside the underworld.

As a result, he is now under house arrest in the underworld, where he has been imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years.

"But we had no choice."

Hypnos said calmly, "If they had any other choice, they wouldn't have sought the Queen of the Underworld's help."

In the past, Persephone had a very good temper, and her innocent and charming nature made countless male gods fall in love... But now, it's hard to say.

It would be strange if anyone were imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years and their personality remained unchanged.

Even though the once desolate paradise has been transformed into a fairyland on earth, and the underworld has given birth to life forms like the Mulanzi, Hades still has no intention of letting Persephone go.

"If that's all, then what about the holy war?"

Thanatos hesitated for a moment.

"If Athena were to learn of Persephone's arrival, she would awaken herself from her divine state..."

The reason why a holy war is a holy war, rather than a war of gods, is because the main gods on both sides are too powerful, and once they start fighting, it will be too tragic.

Therefore, the scale was limited to the scale of a holy war, and even the main god could only use human bodies or reincarnation.

Even the gods high in the heavens do not want to see a war between the gods.

Therefore, holy war is subject to many constraints.

However, once the Queen of the Underworld descends, that would be an act of tearing off all pretense of civility.

Thanatos had no desire to fight against the gods, including Athena's goddess of victory, Nicholas; it was too dangerous and too deadly.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's not like we haven't lost before."

Hypnos spoke calmly.

From the age of mythology to the present Holy War, when has Athena ever lost? She has won every single time.

As the guardian goddess of the earth, Athena loses everything if she loses even once.

But Athena is just like a cockroach, invincible. In countless holy wars, countless evil gods and Olympian gods that coveted the earth were defeated by Athena and her Saints.

Losing? That's perfectly normal.

"Besides, we're just here to determine Lucifer's true identity, not to join the war."

"If it really is Kronos, then we're actually safe."

Thanatos glanced at Hypnos with an uneasy expression, then sighed.

"I can't argue with you, Hypnos."

Ultimately, their lives were the top priority; they didn't want to die, much less live a life worse than death.

They were just trying to survive in the cracks.
