Chapter 2 - Weakness

Hades quickly escaped his surprise as he looked at Poesidon and walked up to him. His hand glowed a faint red as a bone-chilling energy spread around. The temperature visibly dropped a few degrees as he slowly neared Poesidon, much to the horror of Poesidon. 'Move, dame it, I don't know what domain Hades awakened, but every part of my body tells me if he touches me with that. It's over, Poseidon thought, forcing himself to stand up only to fall back down.'

"HADES, ENOUGH!" A divine energy erupted from Rhea's body as she said, "Our enemy is Cornus, not each other." Hades retraced his hand when she said this. Although his eyes did not reflect any fear at her outburst. 'I can kill her easily. From her outburst, the divine energy she released did not feel as powerful. Heck, divine energy radiating from Zeus has more power than her, and I am confident in taking down even Zeus. 

From my knowledge, Gods don't have a rank or something like that; all they have is their domain. If a domain is powerful enough, they could go on their entire life not training yet somehow end up in a strong position while the ones born with weaker ones can train themself to be able to better use their domains until they reach their maximum output. This is the cruel world of the gods; unlike humans, gods fate is determined by the movement they are born.' Hades thought as he walked away, and decided to give one last warning to them "I only participate in this war because Cronus is a threat to me, but that doesn't mean that I would not kill you. You will be more useful to me dead than alive."

He teleported himself into the cave as he left the group. "That arrogant pice of shit. Brother, why didn't you help me?" Poesidon asked Zeus. In response, he scoffed and said

"You are the one who tried to harm him first. Now that you realize he is stronger, you come running to me. Do you not have any pride?" Poseidon flew into a rage as they deliberated on this. Meanwhile, the girls were having a much different conversation. 

'He could become a problem for Zeus, ' Methis thought. She was responsible for making Zeus the one who gets to rule the gods.

'Hades, this child is so rebellious.' Rhea sighed at her son's antics while looking at the rest. 'I just hope we can win this war,' She thought. Before she stepped in to break up Zeus and Poseidon's fight.

"Brother…" Hestia looked at the spot where Hades teleported, her thoughts were complicated to make into a single sentence as she faced an internal conflict. Demeter was still on cloud nine as she couldn't care less about what had just happened; she looked like she didn't even register it. Hera had the most calm reaction out of all of them with a raised eyebrow. 'He is interesting…' she thought.

Back with Hades, he entered his cave and immediately formed a plan to train. He used his afterlife domain to summon multiple souls, his darkness giving them a body while his nether was used to bring back their skills and training. Given form, power, and body, they can exert physical thought while still being tied to the word of Hades. He resurrected these beings and gave them new life, with all their skills and powers.

Hades inspected his creation, who looked like the hulk and the Thing were fused with a Greek god. It was buff, standing at 10 feet, with arms the size of Hades. It looked meanseingly at him, he just stand back and said "Fight me"

As soon as those words fell into the ears of the giant, his eye glowed an eerie green before in an instant he was at Hades's side, facing his body. Hades had just enough time to turn before summon clappened into the darkness enhanced wall otherwise he would have flown out of the barrier that Gia put up. It didn't give him a chance to breathe as the undead grabbed Hades by his leg and continuously smashed him from the ground to the side to even the roof. 

"STOP!!!" Hades screamed as his red silths awakened into a red glow as the blood-red mist pulled from it. He unsleshed an apocalyptic energy wave, although it didn't break through the darkness and instead strengthened it, recognizing its master's powers. The undead was instantly vaporized in that wave of destruction as it didn't even have the chance to retaliate before its very soul was wiped out from existence.

Darkness seeped into his wounds, healing him from the inside as his organs, which went through a rough rearranging, were slowly brought back into their places. Hades raised his arms and clenched and unclenched them. 'What was that? It felt like accessing nether, but a more destructive, unrestrained version of it. I seem to have not yet reached the full potential of all my domains; let's train them.' Hades thought as he summoned another being. This time, he looked like a knight who had not eaten for 9 months. 

Hades made the mistake of looking at him unimpressed, which seems to have offended the undead knight. "Begun," Hades said as the knight teleported behind him, 'Faster than the previous one' He thought, but as he was prepared, he used darkness to defend against him, which did not last as the knight's side kick was strong enough to break through the darkness and hit him straight arcoss his rib cage which was imdeatly flowed by a flury of blows from his punches that sent hades crashing into the walls. 'Fuck, If I kept failing like this how can I hope to fight against Cronus?' He thought.
