Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 369

Neo’s thoughts churned as he watched the Sphinx.

’Veldora told me the names of Grim Reaper.’

’Tree of Tyranny is Typhaon’s title after he became the 81st ranked Grim Reaper.’

’From what Sphinx said, Typhaon knows Daniel wanted to save me, but Typhaon never revealed this to Sphinx.’

Was Typhaon hiding the news to protect Neo?

His train of thought broke when the Sphinx clapped its hands once.

"Seems like you are not him. It’s all water under the bridge then," the Sphinx said. "Oh, and don’t worry, the thing about me having a task for you was real."

Neo nodded.

After receiving his confirmation, the Sphinx shifted its stance and returned to the topic for which it had summoned Neo.

"I want you to do a task for me, and I will answer three questions for you."

"What’s the task?"

"This," the Sphinx replied, snapping its fingers.

A giant hologram appeared between them.

Neo raised his brow slightly as he looked at the scene.

It showed an apocalypse.

The sea surrounding the Luminera continent had turned red, overtaken by the Blood Sea.

Waves of crimson liquid crashed against the shores.

The Blood Sea had reached the land, and monstrous creatures emerged from its depths.

They invaded the continent.

Chaos unfolded on the hologram; cities burned. Smoke billowed into the sky, and the anguished cries of the people seemed almost audible.

The ground was littered with bodies, and rivers of blood flowed through the streets.

A war raged on all corners of the continent, with heavy casualties mounting.

Cities fell every day.

No matter how many monsters were defeated, more emerged from the Blood Sea.

Their numbers seemed to be endless.

"All of those monsters are at least Paragon-rank. It’s a sight that will occur in the near future."

The Sphinx stared at the hologram.

"It’s the era of Blood Sea War. Soon the peace of our continent will shatter, and chaos will engulf everyone."

It lowered its head and locked eyes with Neo.

A sly smile appeared on the Sphinx’s face, seeing Neo’s composed demeanor.

"You seem quite calm. Have you seen a similar situation before, or did you know something like this would happen in the future?"

"I’m plenty shocked," he lied. Read exclusive adventures at freewebnovel

The Sphinx’s smile deepened.

Before it could try to find cracks in his lies, Neo changed the topic.

"What’s the task? I doubt you want to save the continent.

"If that was your goal, you would’ve informed the Senators, not me, who is an Empyrean Demigod," Neo said.

"Oh, please, both of us know you are far stronger than an Empyrean.

"And you are right and wrong about other things too."

The Sphinx cleared its throat exaggeratedly before continuing.

"Firstly, yes, my goal isn’t to save the continent.

"Secondly, no, even if my goal was to save the continent, I would have approached you before others," the Sphinx explained.

"Why?" Neo questioned.

"Because others would ask me for something in return for saving the continent," the Sphinx explained with a snicker.

"Why should they save the continent? Unless I give them a reward, I doubt they would move.

"You, on the other hand, are different.

"I mean, you want a reward too, but your ’cost-efficiency’ is better than other Senators," the Sphinx said.

"Cost efficiency?" Neo questioned.

"Think of it like this: I get more returns with you when I give you a reward than the returns I get from other Senators."

Neo was limitless potential personified.

By the time a normal Demigod reached Empyrean rank, they would have undergone two major evolutions.

Neo, on the other hand, underwent four major evolutions since he had two traits, unlike others who had only one trait.

He was far stronger than any demigod of his rank.

When adding his strength as a Heavenbreaker to everything else, it only made him more unfathomable.
