PS: 9K! Thank you to the leader for the fallen leaves 1! Hereby add an update
Although Li Mochen was shocked by those spears and chains, his mind was always paying attention to Typhon's actions.
However, within this time gap, Li Mochen could not use the 'Star Jump Technique' as he wished, because the entire sky was obscured by Typhon's power. The sun and stars could not be seen here.
Li Mochen's dualistic mysticism method specializes in stars, and the 'stars' included in the Yin-Yang priesthood have also reached a high level, so the power of the stars he mastered was originally extra powerful. However, the darkness that Typhon mastered has reached the ultimate level.
Even a level close to the false truth! It almost completely suppressed him and greatly restricted his 'Star Jump Technique'.
He could only rely on the timing and space power he had mastered to supplement it. He continued to dodge in this space fault, and at the same time resisted with the 'Liuyao Immortal Sword' and the 'Liuhe Emperor Sword Formation', setting off a dense tide of swords, spraying those towards them.
Crush the thunder and fire one by one. Then use your own divine power of fire and divine power of thunder and lightning to neutralize them.
However, what is truly terrifying is the darkness and poisonous mist seeping out of Typhon's body. The endless darkness is devouring and absorbing all his power. Under this cover, countless shadow energies act as deadly swords and attack his body.
The puncture was initiated; the poisonous gas was quietly seeping through, corroding his body.
There is also this powerful soul, although it is much inferior to the Lord of Glory and Odin, but it also makes Li Mochen's soul shrink and the blood in his body surges.
"You used ice to cut off my connection with the earth. Do you think you can kill me this way? Don't even think about it! The great Typhon can also obtain endless power from the darkness!"
Li Mochen still didn't answer, but the next moment, a scorching sun suddenly hung high in the sky above this time gap. The blazing sunshine easily dispelled all the darkness around him.
"Hyperion!"
Typhon let out an angry roar: "You want to help him kill me, right? Kill your brother, the descendant of Gaia?"
Hyperion had no intention of answering. The sunlight shining in also deliberately avoided Typhon's body and simply drove away the darkness here.
Li Mochen's star jump technique was also restored to normal. At this time, Li Mochen's body was suddenly divided into two, and the main body and the secondary body appeared in front of Typhon at the same time.
Even when facing the 'Winter Goddess' Skadi, who could go all out, he did not use his twin bodies. But in front of Typhon, who had most of his power sealed away, he did not hesitate to take the risk and summoned
This is a subsidiary body based in Atlanta.
He must go all out against this opponent, and he must not delay it until dawn.
However, Li Mochen's secondary body did not rush to attack. Instead, he hid behind and continued to dodge Typhon's thunder and fire bombardment. At the same time, he formed seals with his hands and began to weave Typhon's web of destiny. Not only did he want the opponent to die, but he also
To steal the opponent's luck and destiny.
The main body is responsible for frontal combat and containment. He and the theocratic power controlled by Typhon have begun a full-scale confrontation in this space, and they are intertwined with each other and repeatedly see-sawed.
And the 'Six Yao Immortal Sword' set off a monstrous tide of swords, turning into the 'Liuhe Emperor Immortal Sword Formation', which continuously divided and slashed the thunder and fire ejected by Typhon.
The 'Sword of Destiny' was constantly trembling by his side, waiting for the moment when the power of the 'Mandala Bracelet' was fully charged.
"You humble little god! Do you only know how to run away?"
Typhon's eyes erupted with gray-white beams of light, turning everything in contact into rocks.
This is the petrifying ray, and this innate spell was also inherited by its descendant Hydra, the Hydra.
However, Li Mochen's two bodies easily dodged with the help of the power of the stars. Among them, Li Mochen's main body walked through the time and space layer and came to Typhon.
Binary forbidden type*positive and negative polarity!
As soon as he made a move, it was his most powerful killing move. The sword control method combined with the forbidden curse exploded with a brilliance that was better than the sun. And the 'power' obtained from Skadi made his current physical strength more than
Seven times as much as before! It will continue to grow as time goes by. The power of the 'Mandala Bracelet' makes him even more powerful.
Typhon's eyes showed arrogance. He only used his right arm to resist, and at the same time, he wrapped his whole body in thick source armor.
"Bastard, are you going to use this toothpick-like thing against me?"
However, a glimmer of light flashed in Li Mochen's eyes at this moment.
equality!
As this divine power came into play, the sword energy bursting out from the tip of the 'Sword of Destiny' directly cut off three of Typhon's fingers, cut off seven of Typhon's heads, and cut directly into
Typhon's chest caused the latter to let out a scream.
The ultimate 'piercing', the advanced 'sure breaking', the advanced 'sure hit', the advanced 'sure killing', the ultimate 'sharp', the advanced 'extreme speed', the ultimate 'extreme cold', the ultimate
'extreme heat'.
The sword intent formed by the fusion of these concepts and divine powers, boosted by Li Mochen's amazing power, has exerted at least twenty times more power than before!
Li Mochen's sword directly tore open the chest of the Titan, tore one of Typhon's hearts into pieces, and completely annihilated it. Inside Typhon's body, a 45 million
A nuclear explosion equivalent to tons of TNT!
At this moment, the positive and antimatter fused together under the control of Li Mochen's sword-style 'positive and negative pole' exceeded 2100 grams! And the annihilation reaction of 1 gram of positive matter and 1 gram of antimatter is equivalent to 21608 tons of TNT.
of explosives.
However, this shockingly powerful explosion only tore into less than half of Typhon's body. Its body looked bloody and blurry, but Li Mochen knew that this person had nine hearts in total!
Sure enough, in the next moment, Typhon restored his body to its original state with just one breath.
"You pissed me off! You bastard!"
At this time, Typhon's pupils suddenly shrank: "You are stealing my luck, usurping my destiny, and weaving the ending of my death. Your power of destiny is greater than that of Nyx before becoming the goddess of the night.
powerful."
Typhon's response was the second attack of the Sword of Destiny. The black and white sword light withered a large area of flesh on Typhon's left arm.
That is the dualistic forbidden form *the extreme of life and death!
Li Mochen has been using his divine power of life and death to extract Typhon's life force, but with little success. As a nearly immortal existence, 'Typhon''s divine power of life has reached a level close to the ultimate, so in
I can fight him in this regard.
However, the effect of swordsmanship directly acting on the opponent's body is completely different. Li Mochen's sword stole a large amount of life force from the opponent's body.
It also allowed him to launch his next sword - Dual Forbidden Style* Ice and Fire!
With this sword strike, half of Typhon's snake head was completely frozen and then shattered into pieces; the other half was annihilated into ashes by the sword energy mixed with high-temperature flames.
Typhon didn't care at all, and the hundred snake heads recovered in an instant. His eyes were furious, and his body began to expand, pulling on the 'Secret Locks of Fortune' that were mixed with the power of time and fate, and let out a burst of '
Bang bang' sound.
Typhon's immense power actually pulled out a large section of the chains buried in the long river of time. It also allowed this giant Titan to regain a certain degree of freedom and began to use his fists and kicks in this section of time and space.
.
His fist can shatter the stars. Every time he swings it, the earth and the space here are violently turbulent. Typhon's speed is not fast, but this man's whole body generates huge magnetic force, as if he is standing there.
The black hole not only distorted time and space, but also forcibly sucked Li Mochen's body closer to him.
The latter was fearless, he still wandered in the time and space layer, and after gathering some momentum, he struck Typhon's fist with another sword.
——Binary forbidden type*yin and anode!
"boom!"
The extreme change in the power of the lunar sun obviously interfered with the darkness and magnetism controlled by Typhon. The sword of destiny clashed with Typhon's fist that was almost as big as a hill, but it ended in a lose-lose outcome. The smaller half of Typhon's palm was smashed, and Li Mochen
His arm was shattered and thrown back, and a large amount of blood spilled from his mouth.
But both of them recovered within one breath.
The difference is that Li Mochen relies on his divine power called "vitality" and "life", while Typhon relies more on the life energy in his own body.
The following dozens of consecutive blows were like this. Li Mochen did not dodge, he chose to face Typhon head-on, and every sword strike was done to the best of his ability.
Even though his body had been reorganized several times in the attack, relying on his power of war, battle and fighting wind, the two-dimensional sword style struck by Li Mochen was stronger than the other.
Typhon's lifespan of thousands of years and the talent of the Titans gave him better fighting skills than Ares. Li Mochen knew that he could not compete with him in this aspect. He had a strong understanding and good understanding.
Divine tools such as the 'Shenxiao Spiritual Luck Purple Gold Pagoda' provide assistance. However, it has only been less than a year since he became a god, so his accumulation is destined to be unable to compare with these powerful beings who have been at the top of the world for thousands of years.
The only thing Li Mochen could rely on was his superior speed, and he had to try his best to avoid a technical competition between the two sides, and make the trend and rhythm of the battle as simple and rough as possible.
"What a terrifying talent-"
At this time, Hyperion was watching the battle outside the fault, with wonder in his eyes: "It's unbelievable. Is he really only twenty-five years old? He has only been a god for one year?"
Thetis still holds the white bone scepter, exerting her divine power. Although Mount Etna has been frozen, now under the volcano, the magma is churning violently under the control of Typhon.
It must be suppressed by the joint force of Hela and Hela. The latter's ice power is close to false truth, but Thetis is only inferior in this aspect.
In addition, Typhon also has a hundred snake heads, each of which is connected to a volcano. The damage to any snake head will lead to riots in this world.
So at this time, neither He nor Hela dared to relax.
However, when Hyperion was speaking, he was still distracted and glanced at the time gap that sealed Typhon.
"It is indeed very powerful! But it relies more on the scarlet dragon armor."
"This mythical weapon is very good. Even in our time, there are few mythical weapons that can compare with it. Spartacus was indeed the guy who disgraced our Titan clan. He was finally left in the world.
Things are also extremely terrifying. But that is not the root of this master of fate! Thetis, his root is fate and timing!"
Hyperion shook his head: "He can really steal and replace Typhon's destiny. I feel that Typhon's thread of destiny is being replaced. Moreover, have you noticed those secret locks of fortune?"
Thetis's eyes began to turn to the chains on Typhon, and then discovered that the power of time and destiny on these chains was constantly increasing under the power of Li Mochen's secondary body. The increase in their binding power also obviously affected
Typhon.
"It's a very clever battle strategy. He might really be able to deal with Typhon before dawn. I wonder if that scarlet dragon armor can replicate Typhon's power? If it can, then this mythical weapon is too terrifying.
"
According to their agreement, if Li Mochen fails to deal with Typhon before dawn, Hyperion will directly intervene to help the master of destiny kill Typhon.
The latter obviously had the intention of using "jockeying" for divine power to copy Typhon's power. Therefore, he, Hela and Hyperion could only play side games and could not directly interfere in this "single fight" and maintain the appearance of
'Fairness'.
"It should be possible, but that should have reached the limit of this mythical weapon. Just think about it, can an ordinary magic scroll contain a complete forbidden spell? Can an ordinary contract document communicate the power or origin of the star realm?
The material of this mythical weapon has obviously been greatly strengthened in recent times. But that should be the limit of this mythical weapon. It is already very difficult to accommodate Typhon's power, and there will be no excess."
Hyperion's eyes flashed with fluorescence, and he was illuminating the reality of Li Mochen and Typhon: "Don't expect this mythical weapon to be able to play a role in a frontal battle with Zeus, Odin, or the Lord of Glory.
To what extent. They have opened the door to truth and power.
Accumulation means nothing to them. But only fate and the power of fate can threaten them. When the gods are at war, they are afraid of getting hurt. Otherwise, why has my mother Gaia always been so tolerant of Nyx? Let
Does she and her heirs have a chance to rise?"
However, Thetis no longer had the intention to listen to Him. He had already tried his best to instill his power into the ground, and beads of sweat overflowed from his small, plump forehead.
The magma was churning underground, gathering a huge amount of pressure. He and Hela had no choice but to devote all their strength to suppress it.
At this time, in the time gap, the entire land here has been shattered by the force of the two people. The Etna volcano in this section is constantly spewing lava upwards. However, the temperature is very low.
It cooled instantly. The volcano here was cut off from its source of power, so it failed to provide any assistance to Typhon.
And this sturdy Titan has stopped facing Li Mochen head-on. As early as the third time they fought, he had already understood his opponent's intentions. Tifen didn't take it seriously at first, but as time went by,
, the binding power of the 'Secret Lock of Fortune' strengthened, and he had to change his tactics and began to try to solve the problem with techniques.
However, Li Mochen's response was a stronger source of force, a more powerful sword force, and a faster attack rhythm. He hardly used any skills, only to strike at Ti Feng's chest, abdomen and head with one sword after another.
Launch a bombardment with force like thunder and energy like a rainbow!
This made Typhon furious: "You despicable bastard! If you weren't sealed by that bastard Zeus's chain, if Hyperion and the others weren't helping, I could kill you with one hand! I could tear you apart! You
This shameless bastard!"
Li Mochen's eyes were filled with excitement.
The battle between them seems to lack skill, but in fact it is not. The divine power between the two people is repeatedly pulled here, constantly entangled, and ever-changing.
Li Mochen is also at a disadvantage in this regard. He currently has nearly a quarter of the divine power provided by the Scarlet Dragon Armor. However, these divine powers are rigid and lack change. The other parts are also due to the recent entry into the country.
The reason why it is fast is that I am still not skilled enough in using it.
It relies entirely on its own ultimate ‘destiny’ to draw out the outline and barely compete with the opponent.
However, during this confrontation, Typhon allowed Li Mochen to see many new 'things'. This person was interested in 'earth', 'strength', 'fire', 'defense', 'solid', and
'Shadow', 'Suppression', 'Thunder', 'Space', etc., as well as the use of 'Darkness', which can also be called the power of Taiyin, all gave Li Mochen a refreshing feeling, and he felt suddenly understood.
Actual combat is the best way to learn, and an opponent like 'Typhon' who has half a foot in the door of truth and has most of his power restricted is also an excellent teacher for him.
Every time Li Mochen strikes with his sword, the process seems simple. But if Li Mochen wants to use the Sword of Destiny to hit the target, he must make most of his power explode at the precise target point, while Typhon wants to do the opposite.
, he was trapped by the 'Secret Lock of Fortune' and couldn't dodge, so he had to do his best to divert Li Mochen's sword power, and try his best to weaken him and spread his power.
And in this fierce battle, Li Mochen felt that he was growing every moment.
In the past, his powerful theocratic priesthood and 1.7 billion believers made his whole body like an overflowing water cup. No matter how much water he had, he could not hold it or use it. But now, this water cup is constantly expanding, and it is constantly expanding.
increasing.
Li Mochen thought to himself that it didn't matter even if he failed to copy Typhon's power this time. The gains from this battle alone were enough to satisfy him.
In this continuous confrontation and fierce battle, he has gradually let go of his thoughts of success or failure. Under Typhon's strong pressure, he has relaxed his thoughts and soul.
boom!
The nine hundred and sixty-fifth sword, Li Mochen's sword, directly shattered one of 'Typhon's' arms.
This is the 'positive and negative' in the binary forbidden form, but its changes and power are completely different. This sword-control technique created by Li Mochen is improving every moment in actual combat. It is more reasonable.
More powerful, and more in tune with heaven and earth!
Li Mochen had even successfully condensed the divine power of elementary 'positive matter' and 'antimatter' twenty minutes ago. With this sword, he directly blasted out an annihilation equivalent of more than 100 million tons of TNT, which was far more powerful than before.
The world's most powerful hydrogen bomb 'Tsar', manufactured by the Soviet Union!
At the same time, his figure became more and more changeable under the illumination of the stars in the sky. The three-hour fierce battle made Li Mochen's spirit excited, and his mind had entered the state of 'harmony between heaven and man'. Countless times, he had been
The confused mysteries were all understood in one fell swoop, and they were instantly understood in the midst of a fierce battle.
Before he knew it, the divine power called "Star" was promoted to the ultimate level by him.
This is what Li Mochen uses all the time, so it makes the fastest progress.
At this time, even without Hyperion's help, he could freely perform the 'Star Jump Technique' in front of Typhon.
"You trash! Bastard!"
Typhon was helpless and completely powerless towards Li Mochen. He could only vent his anger and hatred with curses.
His right arm is recovering rapidly, but the Titan's recovery speed is completely incomparable with the initial recovery speed.
This cunning little god also used a strange divine power to interfere with his recovery and even caused his flesh and blood cells to mutate, producing toxin-like effects.
"This divine power is called radiation! It is a derivative of 'annihilation'. I think the gods of your time must not understand it, Your Highness Typhon."
There was a look of satisfaction in Li Mochen's eyes. He was confident that within three months at most after returning this time, he would be able to use the power of the 'Shenxiao Lingyun Purple Gold Pagoda' to push the 'Annihilation' divine right to the ultimate level.
level.
At the same time, he also felt regretful, because the dark titan opposite him could no longer put more pressure on him. Li Mochen had already withdrawn from the strange state of 'harmony between man and nature', and it would be difficult for him to withdraw from this battle.
Absorb more 'nutrients'.
And thanks to his advance in this battle, the Dark Titan could be eliminated much faster than he imagined.
"You have already lost, Your Highness Typhon!"
Just when he said these words, Li Mochen's Dual Forbidden Form * Life and Death had already caused Typhon's other arm to wither and then shatter.
Not only has he greatly improved in swordsmanship and divine power, but also with a series of war-related powers, his power has reached the peak that this body can reach!
"Yes! It failed. The great Typhon was defeated by a humble little god!"
Typhon's eyes were deathly gray. He knew that he didn't have much energy left. Even in a normal battle, he was no longer a match for the enemy in front of him.
He was indignant and helpless!
"Do you have the guts to let go of my seal? Bastard! Listen, you bastard, I curse you! Curse you to experience the same death as me one day!"
Li Mochen didn't answer, and he retreated thousands of feet. His secondary body took over the control of the 'Sword of Destiny'.
The secondary body's continuous weaving of fate for three and a half hours gave him the ability to end this battle. And in the next moment, a bolt of sword light broke through all the defenses of 'Typhon' and slashed with one sword.
It hit him between the eyebrows.
——This is the dualistic forbidden form* destiny!
Outside this time section, Hyperion couldn't help but sigh and closed his eyes. He knew that this battle was indeed over.
※※※※
After the battle, Li Mochen's main and auxiliary bodies were floating in the void above this time sequence fault. One was collecting Typhon's scattered blood essence, and the other was grabbing the twenty-four 'Secret Locks of Fortune'.
In terms of the power of destiny, this thing is certainly not as good as the 'Holy Spear of Longinus', but it is also mixed with the power of timing, as well as the suppression of 'divine nature' and 'divine power'. Even if it is only held in the hand
, Li Mochen could feel that his divine power had become weaker.
——This is undoubtedly a treasure comparable to the original 'Holy Spear of Longinus'. The purpose of the Greek gods forging the 'Holy Spear of Longinus' was to kill Messiah, the glorious Son of God.
The threat that Typhon posed to Olympus back then was not inferior to that of the Lord of Glory who had not yet reached the summit.
But even though he had obtained such a valuable treasure, successfully copied Typhon's power, and even received a massive amount of merit, there was no joy on Li Mochen's face.
Just because after killing 'Tifeng', Li Mochen felt that there was something strange in his body. Some of it flowed into his body, and some of it flew away through the air and was forced by a powerful being that he could not resist.
Take away.
That should be the 'origin' from the root of this world. Like the 'God's Wishes Stone', they are both divine objects born at the beginning of the world.
When this world was born, its structure was not stable, and those creatures who were born in the original era were also able to obtain some almost "original" materials in that era.
However, the 'Origin' flowing into Li Mochen's body is stronger than the 'God's Wishes Stone'. The latter is similar to the 'Xuanhuang Qi' in Eastern legends, while the 'Origin' is similar to the legendary 'Chaos'
Yuan Qi is similar. Above it is Hongmeng Purple Qi, but it was not born in this world. Only this boundless universe including the star world and the world of heaven can be produced.
"Gaia?"
Li Mochen looked thoughtfully into the void, looking at the direction where the 'source material' was flowing, until Hyperion walked in with the two main gods.
"Is this your true purpose, His Highness Hyperion? To let Gaia retrieve his essence?"
He thought that no wonder Hyperion would say that, saying that Gaia might not protect her heir.
As a weapon to check and balance Zeus, Typhon has now lost its effectiveness. Then it is naturally time for her investment to be recovered.
"Are you a little angry?"
Hyperion looked at him: "But didn't you also get what you wanted? Your Highness the Lord of Destiny. The chains, those imitations of the Thunderfire Spear, Typhon's bones and power. And -"
He pointed at Li Mochen's belly: "And that thing! This is something that only the first generation gods, Titans, and primitive creatures like the Jotun giants have."
Li Mochen's face was cold: "This is the source of darkness. Do you want to provoke a war between me and Nyx?"
The source of darkness is of no use to him. Instead, it will summon enemies for him.
"Nyx really wanted this thing, but our mother gave it to Typhon. At that time, Ananke was the goddess of the night. She was very angry about this. Mother blocked Ananke's way."
Hyperion laughed. He saw that Li Mochen was just showing off, and actually had no intention of being angry.
"It depends on your skill, my descendant. Now Ananke may not value her destiny so much. But if you want her to exchange it with you, I'm afraid it won't be easy. I I even want to remind you to be careful. Although Nyx has specialized in the field of night, she has not given up on fate, destiny, and destiny, and has even extended it to the field of cause and effect. I think if you let her see hope, she will not mind again. Go on the path of destiny. You are also very smart and have always been on guard against them, right?"
Li Mochen's expression changed slightly and he stopped talking.
The mother-daughter pair of Nyx, the goddess of the night, and Eris, the goddess of freedom, really made him uneasy, and he was also worried about the goddess of magic, Diana.
Because of this, he did not involve Diana in the entire operation.
so--
"Stop talking nice words. Your Highness Hyperion, you still want to seduce me into becoming an enemy of Nyx."
In the past, they could generally maintain cooperation. Li Mochen only needed to be more prepared for the goddess of the night. But now, calculations are inevitable.
"Whatever you think. If you don't want to, you can give me this part of the dark source. That's okay."
Seeing that Li Mochen was speechless, Hyperion couldn't help but smile sarcastically: "So, what position do you have to accuse me? My descendant? The reason why it can seduce you is not because you also see the benefits in it. Don't worry. , Within ten years, Thetis and I, and of course Gaia, will keep your secrets——"
But at this time, Li Mochen had already forced a bit of pure black, black mud-like substance out of his fingers and handed it to Hyperion.
"Take it, Your Highness Hyperion. Or, if you don't want it, I'll just throw it here? By the way, I can also choose to exchange it for something from Nyx."
Hyperion was a little embarrassed this time. He had no intention of taking over and seemed to not know what to say.
"So, you are just trying to use my power of destiny to cover its existence so that Nyx cannot detect it, right? Your purpose is to buy time for Gaia?"
"You saw through it!"
Hyperion sighed and showed a helpless look: "I can guarantee that no one will learn about this from us. And Gaia, she will also reward you."
Li Mochen's face was cold, and he looked like he was listening.
"Two divine source stones, you should need these things."
Seeing that Li Mochen was completely unmoved, Hyperion continued to increase the number: "Three! There is also a little bit of metal source material. Although the quantity is very small, it can strengthen the material of your sword to that of the complete body." The Holy Spear of Longinus is on the same level. Don't be too greedy, smart junior."
"I can accept it, and I guarantee that I will not give this dark source of matter to Nyx within ten years."
But then, Li Mochen pointed to Hela next to him: "But I can't guarantee this and her father. I promise that if the news is leaked within half a year, I will not defend it. I don't want anyone to
They will not be enemies of three god kings at the same time."
If he hadn't figured it out before, then after Hyperion left, he would have to pay the price to keep his mouth shut.
Hela blinked her eyes: "I am very grateful to His Highness Hyperion for helping me and Jormungandr. But my father wants to ask for something from you, and the conditions should not be too excessive."
She did not directly tell Li Mochen what the thing was. Instead, she chose to whisper to Hyperion.
The latter then raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of embarrassment in his eyes, and then sighed helplessly: "It's acceptable! But in view of your father's bad reputation, we must sign a strong contract. I hope to be alone with you soon."
Meet him."
Then Hyperion looked at Li Mochen again: "Our transaction has been completed. Your Highness is the master of destiny. I wish you good luck. The things we traded will be delivered to your Magic Tower in Atlanta later."
Then his body turned into a pure and dazzling stream of light and dissipated in this time gap.
Li Mochen watched the departing light and shadow, until he could no longer sense any trace of Hyperion, then he asked Thetis: "In one and a half months, I will announce that you will join my pantheon. Can you survive until this time?"
,Thetis?”
Li Mochen knew that once he intervened in the war between Thetis and the sea gods, it meant that powerful beings like Poseidon could ignore the Treaty of the Separation of Gods and Humans and attack him directly.
But now, just dealing with those Gods of War and Hades feels extremely difficult for him.
