Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 177

The presence of Death was overwhelming.

Red lightning sparked in the surroundings.

Soon, giant, building-sized, red flickers of lightning were gathering at a spot.

A black-haired kid stood at its the center.

"It's him."

Luna was about to move, but she realized the boy wanted to deal with the Shadow monsters flying down from the window.

She decided to wait.

"Let's see what you are capable of..."

Her words got stuck in her throat when the boy attacked.

"How...? How can he do that?"

...

Latte Café, Ferora City, 2 cities away from Greenwood City

"That's a True Mythic Demigod!"

Brian's eyes glowed with excitement.

He continued to talk to Felix and Arthur, who were sitting on the counter.

"I'm telling you as a history major. Today's Mythic Demigods are too weak compared to the past."

"How so?" Arthur questioned, intrigued.

Brian ignored Arthur and continued to talk to Felix, clearly trying to hit on her.

"During the Age of Gods, when the terms Demigod and God had yet to be coined, those who awakened mystical qualities were called 'Awakeners.'

"That was the only rank.

"Only one."

Brian grinned, proudly flaunting his knowledge.

"Do you know all of us originate from the race called 'Homo Sapiens'?

"Homo sapiens had defective genes that limited their potential.

"It was why only one rank existed because no one could go beyond that limit."

"..."

Felix openly sighed, showing her disinterest in Brian.

She glared at Arthur from the corner of her eyes.

"Then how did we cross that limit?" Arthur asked. "We have more ranks now."

"Because of the 'Myths'."

Brian continued.

"Back then, the monsters, the windows, and Divine Energy-powered natural disasters were destroying the world.

"You could say, the entire race of our ancestors, Homo Sapiens, was on the verge of extinction.

"Unlike our ancestors, our opponents were not limited by their potential.

"Cities were destroyed, millions died every day, wars became common.

"But!"

Brian paused, adding an exaggerated effect to his words.

"They rose up.

"The Myths...

"The Awakeners who broke through the limit of their race.

"When survival became a luxury, the heroes, those who would become Gods in the future, started to show abilities beyond what was thought possible.

"Back then, only a few could cross the ceiling of the Awakener rank.

"They were the Myths, the legends, themselves," Brian explained.

"So the mythic rank is named after them?" Arthur spoke.

"Indeed, that is true. But!"

Brian's eyes gained a fierce glow.

"Don't compare the past Mythic Demigods to today's!

"Back then, a Mythic Demigod could protect an entire city alone! An entire city!

"They were as strong as natural disasters!

"And this was when they, the Homo Sapiens, had yet to gain the God Blood."

Arthur smiled bitterly at Brian's contempt.

He knew the past Mythic Demigods were far stronger.

However, it was natural.

War created heroes.

The twins noticed Arthur and Felix and approached them. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

After a few dozen minutes, Arthur and Felix gave a secret nod to each other.

They decided to put the plan—the reason why they gathered everyone from their team—into motion.

Felix gave an excuse and took Clara and Nathan with her.

Arthur and Sean were left behind.

"Is there anything wrong with my face?" Sean questioned, realizing Arthur was staring at him with a serious expression.

"What is happening to you?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Sean smiled, confused.

"You have been acting weird since a month ago," Arthur added. "Did you really think no one realized you've been on your toes around Neo?"

"...!"

Sean flinched.

He opened his mouth to give an excuse but closed it.

A sigh escaped his lips a few seconds later.

"I was planning to tell you about this, but I didn't have the time."

"What is it?" Arthur leaned closer and interlocked his fingers.

"I awakened my Time element a few weeks ago."

"Oh? Congrats—"

"Listen to me first."

Sean massaged his brows.

His eyes went toward the giant glass wall, and he stared at Clara, his sister, who was outside with Nathan and Felix.

A frown appeared on his face when he noticed Brian approaching Felix.

He continued.

"Since the day I awakened my Time element, I started to see... I don't know what to call them, weird dreams?

"It's always the same dream.

"The S-rank Sphinx mission."

Sean added,

"I see things that didn't happen."
