Chapter 587 Taken? I don't think it's necessary!
Hades is certainly no pushover. Having previously suffered at the hands of Archangel Amenadiel, today he was set on settling the score!
While he lacked the power to slay a high-ranking god-king, embarrassing Archangel Amenadiel in front of so many leading figures was definitely within his capabilities.
Archangel Amenadiel was furious. True, he feared William the Obliterator, but Hades was essentially trampling on his dignity in front of all the gods!
"Hades! Even if you are a disciple of William the Obliterator, do you really think you can humiliate me?" Archangel Amenadiel coldly stared at Hades and said, "Proud angels cannot be insulted!"
His words were not just for Hades but also aimed at Poseidon and Zeus, among others!
Poseidon and Zeus, hearing Archangel Amenadiel's words, really didn't take them seriously.
Can't a disciple of William the Obliterator insult you?
Hades is not only a disciple of William the Obliterator but also their brother!
If their brother wants to bully someone, especially someone like Archangel Amenadiel who has been poaching their followers, of course, they would help!
"Ah, Amenadiel! If you feel insulted, then fight back, but don't drag others into this. I'm not on good terms with you!" Poseidon shouted directly, "Hades is my brother, and if you dare harm Hades today, we'll see if my Trident agrees with you!"
Having said that, he had already summoned his Trident, ready for action!
Suddenly, in front of Zeus appeared a mysterious sphere enveloped in crackling arcs of electricity, with a spiral storm eye inside a transparent crystal ball, emitting a terrifying intent to kill.
The sudden support from the two high-ranking god-kings for Hades scared the other gods away.
"Amenadiel! Try laying a finger on him!" Zeus, too, was determined. If Amenadiel dared to touch Hades, he and Poseidon would join forces to take down Archangel Amenadiel directly.
With such a strong stance from the two high-ranking god-kings, Amenadiel took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over Zeus and Poseidon, and said, "Both of you are high-ranking god-kings. If you act against me, have you considered how the Cosmic Entity would react?"
Hades was also surprised. Were these two high-ranking god-kings really backing him up like this?
He remembered the relationship among the three brothers being just average in the past.
He had even been turned away when visiting Zeus before, and now Zeus was willing to go head-to-head with Archangel Amenadiel for him?
Poseidon disdainfully said, "Even if we're restricted by the cosmic laws set by the Cosmic Entity and dare not kill you, giving you a beating is definitely not a problem!"
"Exactly!" Zeus nodded, not saying much more.
Previously, he and Poseidon had been considering unifying the entire Divine Realm.
Now, with Hades stirring up trouble and claiming to be a disciple of William the Obliterator, they took it as an indication that taking down Archangel Amenadiel was William the Obliterator's will!
Setting everything else aside, attacking their brother in front of them?
Would it really be too much to give Archangel Amenadiel a beating for this?
Archangel Amenadiel was becoming annoyed, but his mind started to work faster.
Being a high-ranking god-king, a being whose soul is immortal and recognized by the Cosmic Entity, he would be reborn even in the event of death.
Most importantly, since the rebuilding of the Divine Realm, the Cosmic Entity had conveyed a message to the high-ranking god-kings: they must not directly engage in combat with each other. The first to initiate conflict would be stripped of their high-ranking god-king status.
Archangel Amenadiel glanced at Poseidon and Zeus. If they acted against him today, even if they killed him and he was reborn, the two high-ranking god-kings would be stripped of their status by the Cosmic Entity, losing their current position and divine power!
Perhaps, the moment the two high-ranking god-kings acted, they would lose their status, significantly diminishing their power.
In that case, would two individuals stripped of their high-ranking god-king status still be a match for Archangel Amenadiel?
If he could provoke them to act first, might he be able to seize their top-tier artifacts and divine powers?
As for Hades, even if his master was William the Obliterator, William the Obliterator wouldn't dare kill him!
Enduring a beating in exchange for the top-tier artifacts of two high-ranking god-kings, and perhaps even seizing their divine auras, seemed like a fair trade.
With this in mind, Archangel Amenadiel's eyes gleamed eagerly as he reached for the Seven Treasures Staff in Hades's hand, arrogantly stating, "This Seven Treasures Staff was originally mine. Today, it returns to its rightful owner."
"Hades, for your insolence today, in consideration of William the Obliterator, I'll let you off with a slap! Mind your actions in the future!"
As Archangel Amenadiel spoke, he had already picked up the Seven Treasures Staff and activated his divine power, attempting to use the Seven Treasures Staff again, only to discover... he could no longer use it!
"Hmm?" Amenadiel was shocked to find that he could no longer use the artifact once bestowed upon him by God. The Seven Treasures Staff seemed to only recognize Hades...
When William gave the Seven Treasures Staff to Hades, it effectively reauthorized the user, making the artifact Hades's.
Archangel Amenadiel's attempt to forcibly break William's restriction was impossible.
Hades laughed, delighted that this fellow really tried to take the Seven Treasures Staff!
And he wanted to slap him?
Go ahead!
It didn't matter anymore!
With the backing of two high-ranking god-kings, if Amenadiel really did slap him today, he likely wouldn't end up well.
Thinking about the artifacts on Archangel Amenadiel potentially becoming his, Hades felt a bit excited.
"Come on! Hit me! Hurry up!" Hades, instead of being angry at having the Seven Treasures Staff snatched, joyfully presented his face to Archangel Amenadiel.
The gods watching from a distance were dumbfounded. Damn, Hades really had no shame!
To provoke a high-ranking god-king like this?
Most importantly, the attitudes of Poseidon and Zeus were too unusual!
Would the two high-ranking god-kings really strike at Amenadiel if he slapped Hades?
The gods were ready to flee at any moment. A fight between these high-ranking god-kings would surely be earth-
shattering, possibly harming them in the process.
Hades was truly foolish to be so arrogant. If a fight broke out, he would be the first to suffer.
A battle among high-ranking god-kings would not bode well for the weaker gods caught in the middle.
Archangel Amenadiel, not caring about the consequences, had his own plans and raised his hand to slap Hades.
In that instant, William suddenly appeared in front of Hades, extending his hand to swat away Archangel Amenadiel's hand, asking, "He is my disciple; do you think you have the right to hit him?"
Archangel Amenadiel withdrew his hand, his body involuntarily trembling.
The gods in the distance became even more excited.
Among those present, who hadn't been beaten up by William the Obliterator?
They all knew how formidable William the Obliterator was, but naturally, they wouldn't spread the word about their own beatings.
They were also unaware that those around them had been beaten too, let alone understanding just how powerful William the Obliterator really was.
"Hey! Has William the Obliterator really come back?" Hermes laughed, "It seems like Archangel Amenadiel is somewhat afraid of him! Could it be that he was beaten by him in the past?"
"I think that's quite possible!" Hephaestus also laughed.
"It looks like we won't have to intervene." Poseidon winked at Zeus, "Brother, what do you think Amenadiel will end up looking like?"
"Boring!" Zeus gave him a look and said, "I think it's going to be pretty bad!"
Poseidon knew his older brother's temperament well and asked, "So, do you think his artifacts will be taken?"
Zeus scoffed, "Taken? I don't think it's necessary!"
Poseidon pondered Zeus's words carefully. Hmm, he had a point. With William's power, was there a need to take anything by force?
