Chapter 1962: Awakening

The Blood Clan and the Bright Church are two colossal forces entrenched on the land of Europe.

There used to be the Wolf Clan, which could barely count as one, but later it was annihilated by Xiao Zheng and Hades joining forces. At the time, the Blood Clan’s attack on the Wolf Clan already caused an uproar in Europe.

However, to everyone’s surprise, not long after, the Blood Clan and the Bright Church were at war again.

Except for a few who knew the reason for the war, most people were bewildered and terrified.

To avoid getting implicated, many families and forces began relocating, seeking to temporarily distance themselves from the battle sites of the Blood Clan and the Bright Church.

The battle was intense from the very start.

Of course, the Blood Clan suffered the heaviest losses.

After all, Hades didn’t send anyone to pass the news down, so when the Bright Church attacked, very few could react and were directly killed.

In just a day’s time, more than three Blood Clan groups, with no less than a hundred people, were brutally killed by the Bright Church.

When the battle report reached the Netherworld King Temple, Hades quickly responded.

She has never been one to fear trouble; otherwise, she wouldn’t have rescued Xiao Zheng from Charles’ clutches. Her orders quickly reached all members of the Blood Clan, naturally declaring a counterattack against the Bright Church.

All the old and new grudges erupted with Hades’ order.

Under the leadership of the Blood Clan experts, they indeed regained some advantages.

One couldn’t really call it an advantage, at least not as disastrous as the first day of the war.

The time passed quietly, bit by bit.

Three days later, Xiao Zheng finally awoke.

At the first moment of his waking, Hades sensed it and appeared beside him.

"Hades? Am I in the Netherworld King Temple?"

"I see, so it was you who saved me..."

Xiao Zheng struggled to sit up from the bed and said weakly.

Upon hearing this, Hades did not answer him but instead asked, "How do you feel now?"

"Much better, at least I can walk on the ground," said Xiao Zheng, clenching his fist, "But it will probably take a few more days to return to peak condition."

"What’s going on outside? When you rescued me from Charles, didn’t he say anything to you?"

"He did, he declared war on our Blood Clan." Hades said calmly.

It seemed as though, in her view, the war was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Xiao Zheng was a bit surprised and began to blame himself: "It’s all my fault for being too careless. I didn’t expect Charles to be so strong. I nearly got myself trapped, and in the end, brought trouble to you all."

"You needn’t blame yourself; even without you, a war between the Blood Clan and the Bright Church was bound to happen sooner or later." Hades said, "You don’t have to worry about things outside; I’ll take care of it."

Her tone was so calm, no trace of panic could be detected.

Yet the calmer she was, the more guilt Xiao Zheng felt towards her: "No matter what, this all started because of me. Once I’m healed, I will join the battle."

"That will have to wait until you’re completely healed." Hades remarked.

Xiao Zheng sighed and then curiously asked, "By the way, how did you find me?"

"Your subordinates found me and asked for help." Hades explained, pausing slightly before continuing, "You should thank them properly. If it weren’t for them, you wouldn’t have lasted until I arrived."

So it was Long Qie and the others who strategized behind the scenes.

Xiao Zheng chuckled to himself, feeling deeply touched.

However, whenever he thought of Charles, he couldn’t help but frown: "Speaking of which, this incident also blames my overconfidence. I didn’t expect Charles’ strength to be that formidable."

"You’ve done quite well already. By the time I arrived, Charles was also heavily wounded." Hades said, "If he hadn’t been injured, I wouldn’t have been able to rescue you so easily."

Her words were truthful, not meant to comfort Xiao Zheng.

If Charles hadn’t been wounded that day, he certainly wouldn’t have allowed Hades to take Xiao Zheng away so effortlessly.

At the very least, they would have had a fight.

Upon hearing it, Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "I’m still far too inferior compared to true Peak Supreme Realm experts, but if I had a bit more time, I’m certain I could kill him!"

Saying this, a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

Although Charles was a Peak Supreme Realm expert, Xiao Zheng was not entirely without a chance against him. From that day’s battle, it was evident that while Charles could kill him, it required a significant effort.

If Xiao Zheng’s prowess could improve further, or if he advanced to the Mid Marvelous Realm, he would at least have a sixty percent chance of countering Charles. If he teamed up with Hades, the probability could rise to eighty percent!

Unfortunately, with time being short and the war already begun, there was no way to afford him the time to slowly break through.

"If only I could obtain one or two more pieces of the Golden Bone."

Xiao Zheng murmured to himself as if in soliloquy.

"Golden Bone? Are you referring to this?" Hades abruptly spoke, pulling out a golden human bone from her bosom.

Upon seeing the Golden Bone in her hand, Xiao Zheng was so shocked that his eyeballs nearly popped out: "Yes! That’s it! How on earth do you have a Golden Bone? Where did it come from?"

"On my way to rescue you, I encountered another team from the Bright Church. After killing them, I obtained this Golden Bone from them." Hades said nonchalantly.

Xiao Zheng instantly understood who was in that team she mentioned.

Joseph and the others were truly unfortunate.

They barely escaped from Xiao Zheng, only to encounter Hades, a true Killing God, halfway, without even returning to the Holy Land of the Church... it’s just...

Xiao Zheng shook his head, not knowing what to say.

No wonder Charles would furiously initiate a war after returning; if it were him, he would have been just as enraged.

But all of this had nothing to do with Xiao Zheng at the moment.

Looking at the Golden Bone in Hades’ hand, hope rekindled within him: "With this Golden Bone, I can guarantee reaching Mid Marvelous Realm in three days!"

Upon hearing his words, Hades did not hesitate and tossed the Golden Bone directly into Xiao Zheng’s arms.
