Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 553

Darkness surged from Neo.

He devoured the Maw of Silence.

Memories….

"Huh? Why are there no memories, or techniques?"

Instead of memories or techniques, Neo got madness, new types of energies – Divinities – and a 'heaviness' that he had never felt before.

"It's a failsafe method that everyone uses to make sure their opponents can't take power up from their corpses by devouring them," Yaleth explained.

"So they have something that destroys their memories and the techniques?"

"Yes, it's a Spell. Everyone uses it."

Neo clicked his tongue.

In hindsight, he should've expected this.

Stage-4 and higher gods would've had incredibly powerful techniques they spent millions of years to create.

They wouldn't want to lose it.

'So I need to devour them while they are alive,' Neo thought.

He activated Eyes of Echoes and looked into the past while the Outer Gods were still alive.

Then, he used All-Shadow-

Neo's Consciousness was suddenly cut off.

He woke up with a groan.

"What just happened?" he asked while massaging his brows.

An intense headache pounded against his head, he was completely drained, and his body felt incredibly weak.

"You just died…. Did you try to regress?" Yaleth asked.

"I did."

"I told you not to do that."

"Yeah, I didn't use it during the battle."

"That's not what I…." Yaleth sighed and massaged his head. "Look, I'll explain it once so focus."

Yaleth created an illusion of River of Time and Beelzebub.

"Neo, your 'Time' can stop time. How much energy does it take?"

"It depends on the area of effect and the strength of people who are inside that area. Too large of an area or if someone stronger than me is there, I can't stop time."

"What does 'strength' mean here?"

"Total energy Beelzebub can use at once."

"So your Time manifestation's strength depends on the energy you use. Now, how much energy do you think is used to go back in time by using River of Time?"

"A lot?"

"And what's the area of effect of a regression done by River of Time."

"The entire universe, I think," Neo said.

"You are correct. Now, Neo Hargraves, tell me, do you really think an Awakened Demigod, or Mythic Demigod, would have 'energy' to turn back time of the entire universe?"

"That…"

Neo couldn't answer.

River of Time's unique nature allowed one to go back in time, but it should still consume an unfathomable amount of energy.

After all, the stronger a technique, the more energy it consumed.

Until now, he never thought where the energy used to turn back time using River Of Time came through.

The demigods used their energy, true. But it was far from enough to affect the entire universe no matter how you see it.

"The answer is Supreme of Time. He is one of the benevolent Supremes.
