Chapter 182: Chapter 182
Natasha kindly explained the situation, leaving the new arrivals from both universes thoroughly shocked.
Radamanthys: "The multiverse! What kind of joke is this?"
Hypnos: "Radamanthys, curb your ignorance. Multiple universes do exist. I know something of the origin gods who created them."
Sasha: "I never thought even Hades' army would be here!"
Aaron: "Sasha? It's been a while."
Sasha: "Brother Aaron! What are you doing here?"
Pandora: "Watch your words! This is Lord Hades himself!"
Sasha: "What! Brother Aaron is Hades?"
This revelation left Sasha utterly stunned, as well as Sisyphus and Dohko, who had also known Aaron.
"If he's really Hades, then Pegasus…" Dohko couldn't help but wonder how Pegasus would react if he found out.
Aaron: "I thought this was some trick of yours, but it seems it's connected to something greater—possibly even the supreme gods. Fascinating."
Diana: "Wait a minute. Are you really the Hades of your universe? Then why does your name not show as such?"
Tony Stark: "Even gods like Hypnos and Thanatos? Maybe they're just aliens with extra power."
Hypnos: "Foolish human, only ignorant ants would think so."
Thanatos: "For that remark, I should punish you with death!"
Regulus: "What is an alien, anyway?"
Tony Stark: "Huh? Don't tell me you don't know that?"
In Hades's Castle
Thanatos, feeling insulted, prepared to unleash his power to kill Tony Stark.
But he soon discovered he couldn't locate him at all.
"How is this possible? I should be able to find anyone I intend to kill, even if they're a hundred thousand light-years away!" Thanatos exclaimed in disbelief.
"It simply means he really is in another universe," Aaron said calmly.
Sanctuary
Sasha was deeply unsettled by the revelation that her childhood friend, her dear brother Aaron, was actually Hades.
"Sasha?"
Sensing her distress, both Sisyphus and Kardia tried to comfort her.
Sisyphus, who had watched Sasha grow up, and Kardia, her closest friend, were both worried for her.
"I'm fine. I am Athena, and I will not be swayed by this," Sasha replied, steadying herself and turning back to the screen.
The screen soon displayed more information.
Odin: "I never imagined gods from Olympus existed in other universes. Wait! Saints, do you know of Odin's Armor?"
Degel: "Of course, that's the armor of Odin from Norse mythology."
Odin: "Then it's true. Whenever a containment item is secured, it grants rewards from other universes. I even obtained Odin's Armor from your universe!"
Sage: "What? Could it be true? Is the being behind this screen truly an origin god who created the universes?"
Nick Fury: "You seem to know quite a bit about gods, even mentioning 'origin gods.'"
Sage: "Naturally. The Saints' duty is to protect humanity from evil gods, like Hades and his followers."
Rogers: "What! Trying to eradicate humanity—how horrible!"
Thanatos: "Horrible? Humanity is a plague, repeating the same sins and bringing suffering to the earth. What difference does it make if such a species perishes?"
Orochimaru: "Hmm, an interesting perspective. Humanity's flaws are indeed disgusting."
Minos: "It's nice to find someone who agrees. You'd fit well in Hades' army if you were in our universe."
Jiraiya: "Enough! Orochimaru, keep quiet!"
Diana: "Thanatos! Your words prove you're an evil god. If I were in your universe, I'd challenge you myself!"
Thanatos: "You, a mere human?"
Diana: "I am the daughter of Zeus, a demigod!"
Thanatos: "What?"
The term "demigod" wasn't new to Thanatos, but hearing it in connection with Zeus's lineage made her a potential threat. However, his pride as a god prevented him from showing fear.
Thanatos: "Another demigod siding with humans? Disgraceful! Just like Athena!"
Sisyphus: "How dare you speak of Lady Athena like that!"
Bruce Wayne: "Wait! The girl named Sasha—is she Athena?"
Sage: "It's no secret. Sasha is indeed Athena, leading us in our battle against evil gods like Hades to protect the earth."
Loki: "Protect the earth? Surely it's just a way to maintain control."
Shion: "If that's what you think, you're mistaken. Lady Athena has never interfered with human progress. Her protection is genuine."
Loki: "Is that so? Perhaps she's hiding motives you're not aware of."
Asmita: "Typical of Loki. Even in another universe, you love playing with underhanded schemes."
Defteros: "These gods are sickening."
Loki: "You inferior humans!"
At the Batcave
Bruce Wayne was taking notes on the information about the Saint Seiya LC universe.
"This sounds like a religious war. What do you think of them?" he asked Diana.
"I can't say much until we know more, but if they encounter containment items, we'll learn more about their world," Diana replied cautiously.
Bruce nodded in agreement.
Daigo: "Uh, may I say something now?"
Daigo had been trying to speak with Moroboshi earlier but kept getting sidelined by the conversation.
Moroboshi: "Daigo! So you're from the Ultraman Tiga universe. Are you an Ultraman too?"
Daigo: "I am. And you?"
Moroboshi: "Yes, I'm also an Ultraman, though I've never heard of Tiga. I guess there really are Ultramen in different universes. Are you an alien as well?"
Daigo: "No, I'm from Earth."
Hokuto: "So Tiga is an alien who fused with you?"
Daigo: "I'm not entirely sure. Tiga is an Ultra Warrior from Earth's ancient past, three million years ago. I don't know if he's actually an alien."
Moroboshi: "What! An Ultra Warrior from Earth's ancient past? How could Earth have produced an Ultraman in ancient times?"
