Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

"Well, not really. In a way, the microcosm can also be considered a soul."

"Ultimately, they're still different!"

"How could this be?" Sasha was a little confused, and Athena's cosmos was also bewildered. What had they been fighting for all these years?!

"Don't overthink it. You're still fighting Hades, just an AFK Hades."

Hades disappeared at some point, just like Zeus, but he left behind his divine cosmos, which still contained his memories.

The so-called reincarnation of Hades is simply finding a pure child into whom to insert one's inner universe; that is Hades' reincarnation.

As for the so-called awakening of Hades...

To give a simple example—the Herrscher of Knowledge!

The newborn consciousness that was instantly overwhelmed by Fu Hua's 50,000-year (actually only a few thousand years) memories upon its birth.

Hades' reincarnation also involves using Hades' memories to impact the consciousness of the person being reincarnated, gradually transforming them into Hades' appearance, which can be considered another form of rebirth through possession.

Zhong Gui sometimes wondered if the role-playing systems he had read in novels before might have been created by some kind of deity.

Ultimately, however, Hades, the god of the underworld, no longer exists.

Zhong Gui: "Something may have happened, or perhaps he has seen a higher realm."

"But ultimately, the essence hasn't changed. To you, the other party is Hades, there's no difference."

Sasha: "..."

Sage: "No wonder..."

“Old man, what’s so strange?” Manigold asked, hearing Sage’s whisper.

"In the last Holy War, the Underworld actually won. We were ambushed by the Twin Gods, and almost all of us were killed."

Sage recounted the events of the last Holy War: "In the end, we banished Hades' soul from the child's body, and then the Twin Gods actually withdrew from the game."

"They retreated with ease, as if the expulsion of their souls marked the end of the holy war."

"Although the goddess eventually caught up with him, the result was..."

"What do you think the Gemini should know?" Sisyphus asked.

"Maybe……"

Pegasus scratched his cheek, still half asleep. "Um, could we think of a way to save Aaron first?"

“It’s very simple.” Zhong Gui placed his hand on Aaron’s forehead. “The only thing left in his inner universe is an obsession: to conquer the earth. All we need to do is disperse that obsession, and then delete or organize Hades’ memories into a freely readable ‘library,’ then Aaron can freely use Hades’ power. In other words, he will become the new Hades—Aaron!”

Hades's cosmos transformed Aaron into Hades's likeness, and Zhong Gui can transform it into Aaron's likeness.

"Just delete it!" Tianma said with delight. "Please, Mr. Zhonggui!"

Sasha and the Gold Saints looked at Zhong Gui, and they shared the same thought.

"Don't rush me. I already said—if I were to do it, the underworld would have to change its master."

Pegasus: "Huh? What do you mean? Didn't you just say to replace Hades with Aaron?"

Tianma felt that although he was not very smart, he could still understand what was being said.

Zhong Gui smiled and said, "Are you interested in changing the master of the Kingdom of Death? For example, the God of Fire and Reincarnation, the Lord of Wuwang Slope, the True Lord of Rebirth, the Lord of Life and Death Reincarnation, the Lord of Earth, the Lord of Yama—Lord Hu Tao!"

The string of titles stunned Pegasus, and he subconsciously asked, "What about Aaron?"

Actually, he didn't understand what Zhong Gui was saying at all. He was just thinking about what to do after Aaron inherited Hades' power. Should he go back to the orphanage and adopt orphans? Tianma didn't object. He could go back with him. Now he had the power to protect the orphanage.

"He'll still be Hades, but just like Hades used to have Zeus above him, it's not a problem for Aaron to have a walnut on his head."

"Do the Gemini gods agree?"

“They will agree.” Aaron sat up, rubbing his head.

"Aaron!"

"elder brother!"

"I'm fine." Aaron ignored the worried Sasha and Pegasus, and instead looked at Zhong Gui. "As long as Hades gives the word, the Twin Gods will not and dare not object!"

He is Aaron, the god of the underworld, but not Hades. In the current underworld, his orders are often ineffective. Once his soul is corrupted by Hades' divine cosmos and takes the form of Hades, the twin gods will obey his commands.

It all boils down to strength; if you're strong enough, the other side will compromise.

"It doesn't really matter to them whether Hades is Aaron or Hades, since they are the same person. The Gemini Gods don't really care, as long as you can give them what they want."

"What do they want?"

"Probably: comedy, death, and... a vacation?"

"...What does 'holiday' mean?"

"The underworld is very busy... cough cough, sir, can you really do it? Delete or modify Hades' cosmos?"

Zhong Gui didn't speak, but pointed his finger, and a vast and sacred microcosm was immediately separated from Aaron.

What do you think now?

"I think it's okay."

……

"Ok?"

Hypnos and Thanatos stopped, suddenly realizing that Hades' cosmos had vanished.

"What's going on?" Hypnos asked with a grim face. Were they too late?

That's impossible. Even in the Sanctuary, Athena's abilities wouldn't allow her to accomplish something so quickly.

"It seems something has gone wrong..."

The Sanctuary was right before us, but just now Hades's cosmos suddenly lit up and then disappeared.

The two gods, who originally wanted to come to the Sanctuary to do some grinding, hesitated. Was there some kind of trap involved?

……

Inside the temple of the goddess, Sage and Manigold emerged. There were some things they didn't want to entrust to others. After preparing for so many years, they still wanted to try doing it themselves.

"Hey, you're out, little brother~"

Outside the temple of the goddess, an elderly woman with white hair and a single ponytail was waiting for them.

Hakurei, chieftain of the Pamir tribe, Silver Saint of the Altar, and elder brother of Pope Sage.

One of the Saint Seiya warriors who survived more than two hundred years ago!

After so much preparation, it's time to say goodbye to the nightmare from two hundred years ago!

……

Kiana looked at the branch in her hand. She had originally intended to use the branch to smash the opponent, but then she realized that she couldn't keep up with the speed of the other party (Li Zhao Zhao).

The other party also possesses spatial abilities; once they reach the Sixth Sense Universe, they can learn spatial abilities.

Although Huihuo is not an expert in spatial abilities, it is still easy for him to detect spatial fluctuations and dodge them. Otherwise, wouldn't he be at the mercy of a Saint who is proficient in spatial abilities?

Kiana activated her brain, which she hadn't used in a long time. Since this branch could enhance her spatial abilities, could it also enhance her essence?

I don't need to reach Otto's level, but at least I'd be able to face the Specters in front of me!

My dearest branch, please think of something! Just for Aunt Karen's sake!

As if sensing Kiana's thoughts, the branches of the Imaginary Tree lit up...

P.S.: Thanks to "182…", "zlice", "战雷", "qw715" (Note: I can't see the name of this one), "ycc…", "幻影天罗", "小生柯柯", "潇潇花詻", and "心宽体胖?" for the monthly tickets. Thank you all, you guys are awesome!

May is over.

Chapter 367 Twin Gods: What Hades? Let me finish having some fun first!

"Hey you, is Unicorn still going to work?"

"A man can't say no!"

Yeren climbed out of the pit. "Miss Kiana, just tell me what you want me to do?"

"Try to hold him so he can't move."

"Huh? Hug him? Can we get another one?"

"What do you think? Oh, by the way, here, you can borrow this." Kiana tossed something to Yeren.

"This is... oh, it's a horse charm!"

"It's an upgraded version!" Kiana said proudly; it was one of her most treasured toys.

"Go, Saints, for love and peace, for Athena, burn your cosmos!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

Ignoring the depletion, Yeren intensely burned his inner universe, and soon reached a level comparable to the peak of the Seventh Sense.

"Although I still can't win like this... I can still trap you for a while!" Yeren said through gritted teeth.

"Here it comes—the unicorn gallops!"

This move, which had long surpassed the profound techniques of the Bronze level, was kicked towards Huihuo.
