Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 259

Unbeknownst to Zeus, Neo's Eternal Skill was at work.

It canceled 10% of the power behind Zeus' attacks. Coupled with the fact Neo could move even after dying, it gave him enough time to use his blessing and regenerate his injuries.

He was Undying.

Zeus killed and killed and killed Neo.

But Neo refused to stay dead.

The battlefield was becoming heavy with an oppressive energy that Zeus couldn't ignore.

It was as if Death itself loomed closer with each passing second.

Each death Neo suffered—each time Zeus killed him—the presence of Death grew in the surroundings.

Neo needed the deaths of someone strong to complete his Concept.

If he couldn't kill others, he had to just die himself dozens of times.

Zeus' eyes narrowed.

He stopped attacking and retreated.

"Why did you stop?" Neo taunted.

"You… you are using me to awaken something," Zeus said. "It would be foolish of me to continue the battle."

"Isn't this better? If I become stronger, you'll be able to fight to your heart's content."

Zeus shook his head.

"I need to go and get the youngest healed. I don't want to waste time on you if I can help it," Zeus said. "Besides, you will die soon. I can tell you can't use Death to keep yourself alive for too long."

Neo's brows furrowed.

His Concept was about to be completed, and his Death was returning already.

Just a bit more.

'But I can't complete the Concept if Zeus doesn't kill me anymore.'

'Should I try suicide?'

'For some reason, I can tell I won't get much Death if I kill myself with my own hands. It needs to be someone else.'

Neo could see Zeus had no intention of fighting.

'Hey,' Neo called out to his blessing. 'Aides and Melione were past reincarnations of Mom and Dad, right?'

The blessing remained silent. Stay connected via empire

'I'm not asking why they have been reincarnating. Just answer the question.'

The blessing remained silent for a few moments before nodding.

Thanks to the answer, Neo found a way to make Zeus attack him.

"Though it's still a problem if I let you go towards Typhon. So I'll imprison you here," Zeus said.

"Are you going to leave like this?" Neo spoke to Zeus. "Weren't you planning on asking me my relation with Aides Hargraves, uncle?"

Zeus, who was using an Incantation, froze.

"How did you know that name…?"

"Aides Hargraves?" Neo questioned. "Of course, I know him. He is my dad—"

"I don't know how you found out about my relation to Aides."

Zeus interrupted Neo.

"But if you think I'll lose my cool because of his name and attack you, you are completely wrong."

"Sigh, you really don't believe me, do you, uncle?"

Neo's body was at its limit.

He had to hurry.

Or he would be pulled into the Underworld without creating his Concept and fail the Shadow Trial.

"Didn't Dad tell you he would meet you again? He reincarnated later, and I'm his son, uncle."

The words that only Aides and Zeus knew came out of Neo's mouth.

It affirmed the truth behind Neo's words.

"If you are calling me uncle, does that mean… she reincarnated too?"

"Huh?"

Neo acted oblivious.

Blood dripped from his injuries and pooled on the scorched ground beneath him.
