Episode 74 - Great War of Saints and Demons (4)

I'd become <Underworld's> official successor; even though I was the one who said it, it didn't feel all that real to me.

However, it seemed that I wasn't the only one who suspected the sincerity of my declaration. The King of Tartarus and the ruler of the night, Hades, was glaring at me.

[You have spoken a lie in <Underworld>.]

Accompanied by the icy sensation, cold enough to freeze my toes, 'death' was now staring straight at me.

[Right after becoming our child, I see you're already learning to deceive us.]

Hades rebuked me in a cold voice and stood up from his throne to walk closer to my position. I wanted to stand up from my spot right then, but my body didn't want to move.

The Status of a Myth-grade Constellation had currently suppressed my entire body, that was why.

Thankfully, nothing untoward happened. Hades did get to where I was, but then, unhurriedly brushed past me and walked straight out of the royal palace.
