Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 296

Lightning Dragon Art: Dragon’s Roar!

Lightning shot out of his fist, transforming into ferocious eastern dragons with shimmering scales of pure electricity.

The dragons surged forward.

Their piercing roars merged with the thunderclaps as they coiled around the writhing mass of maggots.

Their long, serpentine bodies twisted, forming a barrier that trapped the creatures and stopped them from reaching Neo.

’You damned corpse!’

Angel’s voice roared.

’Move out of the way!’

Its voice shook the skies.

’Do you think I won’t kill you just because you are the Sacred Treasure of this world?!’

Alarms blared in Angel’s mind as it sensed the growing power coiling around Neo, swirling like a tempest on the verge of eruption.

That power—it had to be stopped.

At all costs. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

That power mustn’t be awakened by mortals.

In response to Angel’s roar, Zeus’ corpse taunted it further, beckoning with a bloodied hand.

If the corpse had a head, it would’ve definitely been smirking.

’You…!’

Dozens of massive stone pillars burst from the ground with a deafening crack.

Endless torrent of writhing maggots spewed out from the mouths on the pillars.

They squirmed in a frenzied tide toward Neo.

Zeus’ corpse dashed forward with alarming speed.

His movements were both graceful and brutal—kicking, punching, summoning lightning bolts and dragons to shield Neo from the onslaught.

Every strike echoed like the thuderclaps, shattering the ground further beneath their feet.

Neo, however, was oblivious.

Sitting amidst the chaos, he remained still.

His body was faintly illuminated by the white whisps surrounding him.

His brow furrowed in as his concentration skyrocketed.

He was too focused on comprehending the Intent to notice the battle taking place around him.

His body had only moved when it instinctively sensed bloodlust.

But as it realized someone was protecting him, his grip on the sword loosened, and he returned fully to meditation.

Neo’s entire focus rested on removing thoughts from his Intent.

He had always created Intent with thoughts—desires, convictions, beliefs.

But now, he couldn’t understand how Intent was supposed to exist without them.

It was beyond him, like trying to grasp the wind with bare hands.

’World Energy is the world’s consciousness.’

Zeus’ words echoed in his mind.

Neo recalled his own understanding of Intent:

Will created Willpower.

Willpower created Intent.

And—

World Energy is the world’s consciousness.

’What is consciousness?’

Neo’s thoughts churned.

He felt it.

He was on the verge of a breakthrough.

’Is consciousness Will?’

Neo tried to simulate his Will.

His brows creased as his concentration skyrocketed.

Simulating his Will wasn’t easy, even for him.

Normally, he would use his Willpower.

Trying to use Will instead of Willpower was like eating vegetables raw.

It felt unusual, bitter, and unrefined.

But he persisted.

As he simulated his Will, he observed it carefully.

Sure enough, Will was very similar to Intent.

However, it did not contain emotions, thoughts, or other external inputs.
