Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Seeing that Matthew was silent, the phantom of Hades didn’t say anything. He just looked at Matthew quietly. With helmet blocking his eyes, he examined Matthew’s every subtle expression.
As known to all, Hades was the main god. To gain the divine inheritance from Hades, Matthew couldn’t only call out Hades’ real name. If Matthew was incompetent and just happened to know Hades’ name, what Matthew did in the future would be an insult to Hades. Therefore, Hades wouldn’t let Matthew gain the divine inheritance so easily.
Calling out Hades’ real name was just the first step to gain the divine inheritance. The next step was to pass the test set by Hades. As long as Matthew passed it, he would be the next king of the underworld.
After a long time, Matthew said, “If I gain your inheritance, I will have to face not only the intruders but also the gods that are governing the earth, right?”
“Yes, and even the weakest of them is very powerful. You’ll also have to face their followers. What’s more, the abyss demons at the bottom of the Earth and the alien races will be your enemies too.” Word by word, the phantom of Hades spoke out all Matthew’s future enemies.
“It’s a real headache,” Matthew said with a habitual touch of his nose.
“You’re scared?” Seeing Matthew’s expression, Hades asked.
“Scared? No, no, no.” Matthew shook his head at once and showed a relaxed smile, saying, “I hate trouble but I’m not afraid of it. If someone’s causing me trouble, I don’t mind smashing them all in one punch.”
Hearing this, the phantom Hades was slightly shocked. He didn’t expect Matthew to answer this way.
If someone’s causing me trouble, I don’t mind smashing them all in one punch.
When Matthew said the first sentence, he thought Matthew would be afraid. But Matthew’s second sentence showed his braveness.
Despite all the difficulties, he would overcome them.
And the resolute look in Matthew’s eyes showed that he was not lying.
Matthew passed the test set by the phantom of Hades. Without hesitation, Hades said, “You are qualified to accept my inheritance now.”
The phantom of Hades was actually a spirit and it didn’t have much wisdom. Since the test was completed, he would disappear in this world.
“I’ll live up to the reputation of the king of the underworld!” Matthew bowed, put one hand on his chest, and said solemnly.
Seeing Matthew’s serious look, the phantom of Hades smiled with relief. He stretched out a hand and put it on Matthew’s head. Then the phantom turned into a purple black mist and entered Matthew’s brain.
Suddenly, Matthew felt a swelling pain in his head. Then a purple black crystal appeared in his mind.
It was Godhead of Hades!
It contained the fighting skills, knowledge, and experience of Hades.
With them, Matthew was no longer the rookie when he transmigrated to this world. He had the accumulated knowledge of Hades and was a man of great wisdom.
But he might need a lot of time to digest the massive information, and some of the skills could only be triggered by specific events.
When the purple black crystal appeared in Matthew’s mind, a mark also appeared on his forehead—It was a purple black narcissus flower.
He gained Hades’s inheritance—Power of Law!
Power of Law was a unique skill of Hades. And both Godhead of Hades and Power of Law were indispensable for the king of the underworld.
Power of Law was different from the talents awakened under the statues.
There was an upper limit if one cultivated with the help of talents, and the cultivators should abide by the rules.
However, Power of Law represented infinite power. It was exclusive for the main god.
The law of Hades included the law of the underworld, the law of death as well as the law of darkness. The Power of Law was the combining power of the three laws.
The three laws would take root in Matthew’s body and make him more powerful.
After Matthew gained all Hades’s inheritance, the phantom of Hades disappeared. Matthew looked up at the invisible helmet and bident in front of him. He took over the two artifacts with a solemn look.
The artifacts had spirituality. So when Matthew touched them, they turned into two rays of light and entered his body.
As for Cerberus, the three-headed dog, Hades did not leave it to Matthew.
With his current strength, Matthew could not control Cerberus. Only after Matthew cultivated to a certain extent could he go and find Cerberus to give it divinity.
After gaining the divine inheritance, Matthew looked around and found that there were still some purple and black spots. The spots were the energy left by Hades. Matthew thought that he would be more powerful after absorbing the energy.
After all, he had just gained the divine inheritance. His strength level was Iron, which was a low level. There were Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Legend, Epic, and even God level!
Thinking of this, Matthew sat cross-legged and breathed calmly.
He had no idea how much impact he had on the outside world by calling out the real name of the king of the underworld.
At the Heiner High School.
The teachers and students were cheering. Although they couldn’t awaken their talents from Hades, it was an honor for them to witness the phantom of Hades!
They didn’t notice that the people from the Academy of Dead and the Academy of Forest on the high platform were in confrontation.
At this time, an old man from the Academy of Forest stood out and spoke loudly, “Goddess of Forest was very pleased to learn that someone called out the true name of Hades. Just now she asked us to lead Matthew to Mount Ten Thousand. Goddess of Forest will personally teach him.”
As soon as he finished his words, the teachers and students of Hainer High School were more excited!
What kind of honor was it to be taught by the Goddess of Forest?
The gods were usually in a dormant state, they wouldn’t come out unless big events happened on the earth.
But they didn’t expect that Goddess of Forest would offer to teach Matthew just because Matthew called out the real name of Hades.
The Goddess of Forest, Syrinx, was not famous for her fighting capacity.
However, she was also among the best of the gods. With Healing Light, she was almost invincible in any place with green plants. Besides, it was said that the Goddess of Forest was loving and kind.
Sierra, who was in the crowd, shed tears in excitement. Matthew was her good friend. Seeing Matthew could have a bright future, she was sincerely happy for him.
The principal and Matthew’s headteacher were even more excited because they would benefit from association with Matthew. With such an excellent student, they would get a higher position in Academy Alliance.
However, when those from the Academy of Dead heard that, they were unhappy about it.
The order they received was to kill Matthew, so they certainly wouldn’t let others take him away.
But what the old man said was a recognization of Matthew’s divine inheritance. Therefore, it was hard for them to kill Matthew.
The people from the Academy of Dead looked at each other and nodded. A man in a red robe came out, raised his arm to motion everyone to be quiet. Then he said, “According to the edict of the God of Death, the black stone statue that Matthew called out is not a god on the earth, but the inheritance left by the demons of the abyss.. God of Death ordered that the descendant of the abyss demon on earth must be destroyed with holy light!”
