Chapter 1704: Chapter 208: The Kind-Hearted Grim Reaper (Grand Finale) Part 4
Vincent looked at Sylvia, then at Ah Dai, the muscles on his face twitching slightly, and he muttered to himself, "I, I have a son, I, Hades, actually have a son. Sylvia, you’re, you’re definitely lying to me, aren’t you?"
Sylvia’s expression gradually calmed down, and she said coldly, "Is someone in your current physical condition my opponent? Do I need to deceive you? You should be most aware of what happened during your fight with Mandolin. At the last moment, he had already gained the absolute upper hand; you had no chance to unleash the Hades Ultimate Soul. If he had struck your Spiritual Imprint with full force using the Grim Reaper Scythe, you know better than I do what the outcome would be. At that moment, he was unstoppable by anyone, including me. But why didn’t you die? Do you know why you didn’t die? It wasn’t because of mercy; it was because he couldn’t bring himself to do it! After all, you are his father. Although you are the ruler of the Demon Realm, how could our kind-hearted child kill his father with his own hands?"
In an instant, Vincent understood, he understood everything. He knew Sylvia was telling the truth. Ah Dai may be of the Divine Clan, yet he has a pair of black wings and black Divine Power, which are symbols of a fusion of gods and demons! He, he is his son, yes, he truly is his son!
With a flash of black light, Vincent burst out from Sylvia’s Rainbow Barrier. "Stop all of you." A tremendous shout came from his mouth, and surging magic power continuously gathered to him, causing the part of the Grim Reaper Scythe left in his body to fall out. Vincent reached out two fingers to pinch the sharp blade, his body trembling slightly.
The rainbow rays retracted, and God Siya holding Ah Dai slowly stood up. She did not stop Vincent from recovering his energy, merely watching him indifferently.
In Vincent’s booming voice, the gods and demons all paused; having just begun their confrontation, there had been no casualties yet on either side.
Vincent glanced around at the surrounding gods and demons, coldly stating, "Hear me, those belonging to the Demon Realm, today we are defeated, immediately retreat back to the Demon Realm Entrance. Execute immediately." All the Demon Lords looked at Vincent in astonishment, in their eyes, their lord didn’t seem to be defeated! Why would he give such an order? A bolder demon tentatively asked, "Lord Hades, we might not lose! Wa—" In an ethereal blue light, the speaking demon was instantly reduced to ashes by the Sword of Hades. Vincent’s entire being exuded immense majesty and he coldly said, "Who else dares to defy my order?"
The Demon Lords’ eyes were filled with fear; they surely knew Hades’ methods. To save their lives, they gathered together, using their own magic power, returned to the Demon Realm through the Demon Realm Entrance on the main peak of the Death Mountain Range. The departure of the demons immediately brought joy to the Divine Clan, who were naturally peace-loving and never intended to wipe out the Demon Clan as long as they did not invade humanity and the Divine Realm, the gods were satisfied.
The lines on Vincent’s face softened a bit, as he slowly floated down in front of Ah Dai and God Siya, a wave of his right hand creating an invisible, colorless sound Barrier that enveloped the three of them. Vincent sighed lightly, speaking indifferently, "Sylvia, you win, I schemed to become the master of the three realms, but ultimately I was defeated by you. It seems, I can never surpass you." His gaze slowly turned to Ah Dai, his voice carrying a faint trace of kindness, "Mandolin, I have always considered you to be the strongest enemy after Sylvia, I did not expect, you turned out to be my son. Truthfully, having a son like you makes me very proud, your cultivation now is on par with me and Sylvia. Here, I swear by Hades’ Spiritual Imprint, as long as you are here, I will never again lead the Demon Clan to invade humanity and the Divine Clan." Vincent seemed somewhat fatigued; he bent down, picked up the previously severed Grim Reaper Scythe Handle, and with a surge of black light, under his powerful magic, the handle and blade reunited seamlessly. Vincent sighed, presented the Grim Reaper Scythe to Ah Dai with both hands, and said faintly, "Today I learned I have a son like you, and I have never fulfilled a day of responsibilities as a father. You can take back your weapon. I do not hope you’ll acknowledge me as your father; I merely hope you won’t hate me anymore. There’s something I’ve hidden in my heart for a long time, do you know? I truly love Sylvia; otherwise, I would not have agreed to Sylvia’s conditions back then." Hearing his words, Sylvia trembled continuously, tears flowing torrentially.
Ah Dai took the scythe, complicated emotions flashing in his eyes, and said with his head lowered, "You may go, I, I will not hate you anymore." He did not expect that Hades, upon knowing he was his son, would make such a concession. Facing his parents, for the first time, he felt the warmth of familial love.
Vincent’s whole body shuddered, and uncontrollably, two streams of tears flowed down, choking as he said, "Thank you, thank you, my child. I hope in the future I will have the opportunity to make it up to you." With a flash of light, a golden mass appeared in his palm, "This, is the soul of your beloved, I return it to you. Sylvia and I govern the Divine and Demon Clans respectively. Speaking of it, perhaps you will not believe it, my desire to unify the three realms was to rightfully be with Sylvia. Now it seems, that is simply impossible. Child, cherish your loved one, being with the one you love is so blissful! Love, is everlasting life." After taking a deep look at Sylvia and Ah Dai, the golden sphere floated into Ah Dai’s hand. Vincent’s body slowly drifted backward, leaving behind his voice in the air, "My child, if you are willing, come to the Demon Realm and see me if you have the chance." With a flash of black light, Hades Vincent disappeared within the domain. Hearing his final words, Ah Dai clearly felt Vincent’s loneliness, and at this moment, the hatred and humiliation he harbored in his heart for nearly a thousand years completely vanished. He did not hate anyone anymore; his heart was filled only with love, and exchanging a glance with his mother, he carefully wrapped Xuan Yue’s soul with his remaining Divine Power.
