Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 821

Chapter 821: Resolve

He left the Palace, telling Bael that he was busy and would soon return.

Hades wanted to take a breather and calm his mind.

He understood that if he did not recover, he would give up.

’No, if I give up, everyone will become a puppet.’

He had to fight.

He had to destroy the Cosmos.

And yet, Hades’s resolve had been weakened considerably.

’Perhaps Ouroboros was right.’

’The new generation...’

’Perhaps, they would find a better way.’

Hades began searching for someone talented, someone who would lead the next generation.

He consoled himself by saying that since the Eon could no longer reset, and since now countless universes were being born, he just had to wait.

As long as he waited, a huge population would be born.

Then he just had to kill them all to gain the [Fate] of Cruelty. Now, he wouldn’t need to destroy the Cosmos.

Before, a single Eon wouldn’t have enough population to get him the [Fate] of Cruelty.

But now, it was possible.

And searching for a new generation was just a side project, in case he failed to gain the [Fate] of Cruelty.

His search led him to the Prince of Iltanea Empire.

"The prince, he has a lot of Talent. He is almost at the same level as my..."

Hades could not complete those words.

He shook his head and went to meet and guide Prince Ultris.

’Perhaps, he would find a better way to save this doomed world.’

Hades had secretly hoped.

As Prince Ultris gained strength, Hades was more and more sure of his hypothesis.

Prince Ultris was talented, as talented as Hades’ child, if not more.

Someone like him must be able to find a different way than what Hades had found.

Then, Hades wouldn’t need to gain the [Fate] of Cruelty.

Somewhere in the corner of his heart, he knew it was just a wishful fantasy.

But for now, reality was too cruel, and he wanted to live in fantasy.

While teaching Prince Ultris, someone inherently talented but too lazy, Hades came across Princess Persephone.

Over time, she began to show interest in Hades.

He ignored her and kept a respectable distance.

Until he noticed that whenever he was close to her, Prince Ultris would gain the motivation to train and surpass him.

A smile, weathered but kind, appeared on Hades’ face.

He decided to use this to have Prince Ultris train.

However, unlike what Hades had thought, he opened up too much to Princess Persephone.

He had been too lonely.

And the moment he gained support, his composure had cracked.

Before he knew it, he had married her and had a child with her.

"We will name it Henry. Henry Hargraves."

Persephone’s smile soothed Hades’ cracked heart.

The warmth of their son expelled the coldness of despair seeping into his bones.

He was happy.

And yet, seeing the child grow, call him dad, hold his fingers, Hades was reminded of his mistake.
