” Welcome my pope , We have a lot to talk about… “. Hades said with a smile as Rudra looked at the god and felt intimidated .
There was no fear debuff for Rudra which meant that Hades was not hostile , neither did he want to intimidate the mortal however his natural charisma and pressure still made Rudra feel a bit stiff.
Rudra activated the eyes of God to look at Hades’s stats , however Hades instantly frowned and said
” Mythical powers that even a god can’t resist , interesting ….. However while I’m tolerant of your tricks i don’t think many other gods will , we can still sense when someone is prying at us “.
Hades warned Rudra about the usage of his powers , however Rudra had already gotten what he wanted to see from Hades at the moment as he got a clear look at his stats.
Hades ( God ) : One of the prime god’s whose domain is death . He is the father of all demonlind and was Dethroned from the throne of hell by the trickster Lucifer , as his relegion was forgotten.
Now he has reawakened and is rebuilding his power to take back the throne that is rightfully his.

Rudra sucked in a breath of cold air as he looked at Hades’s stats as they were simply out of this world.
He was not even remotely close to reaching Hades’s level of power. He was tier 4 level 320 which meant that Hades had nearly thrice as many levels as he did , however even his weakest stat outpowered Rudra’s strongest ones by over 3 times.
While the stat mana had a 10x disparity.
And Rudra was no ordinary player either , his entire career he enjoyed the privilage of getting his stats incredibly high through various means however it seemed that compared to a good they were nothing.
Close to 100 million in HP , Hades has 100 times Rudra’s health and his Physique and mana stat was simply unbelievable .
Rudra only now understood that he would not be able to even flick a single finger should he fight a god like Hades , much less have the opportunity to a actually inflict damage.
The reality both humbled him and made him feel good about himself as he realised that choosing the eyes of God was probably the best decision he had ever made considering the fact that fighting an actual god he would never get the opportunity to use Angels wrath in the first place.
Sweating profusely Rudra , the way Rudra looked at Hades changed significantly as the god smiled at his pope.
” Not bad , you have a strong pysche , most would fall into dispair seeing the massive gap . However I think you understand it well enough that the journey from tier 4 to tier 6 is not a short one and i appreciate the mental forte you have “. Hades complimented Rudra as he felt impressed by the pope he had chosen.
Rudra gulped some dry Saliva and broke out of his stupor as he said ” What did you want to discuss my lord ? “.
Rudra’s tone became infinitely more respectful as although he did not fear Hades or feel subservient towards him , he respected the struggle that Hades must have went through to gain such power.
He respected the grind , and he respected the heights the other person had achieved and for that he gave him the respect he deserved.
Hades said ” Yes …. Im quite satisfied with the progress of the church . To be honest when i saw you frolicking for the first few months i was angry and dissapointed , however you managed to gather 1 million followers in such a short span of time , for which i must give you credit.
I have never had such an influential pope , and the rituals you have inducted for the church please me a lot.
I am happy with you my child , you have reminded this world of this lost god , for which I’m grateful “.
Rudra was speechless as Hades expressed his heartfelt gratitude as he awkwardly scratched his chin.
” I have recovered 40% of my peak strength but as you can see i am not near level 1000 at the moment and to defeat Lucifer i need to be as near to tier 7 as I can be.
Once you complete phase two and gather 20 million followers i would gain 40 levels to be at level 960 after which we can officially start our campaign to take back the throne of hell.
Although I’m much stronger than i was after i woke up from my slumber , I’m not nearly strong enough to take down Lucifer who rules over the demonkind .
If only I had my book , i could start weakening him by freeing the demons of his influence “. Hades continued
Rudra instantly picked up where Hades paused as he said ” About that …. I have already collected all seven pages of the diary and have a team collecting the book cover , should only take 2-3 months at best “.
Hades’s eyes widened at Rudra’s declaration as he looked at the mortal as if he was a piece of art.
” Lucifer has been looking for those pages since 2 milleniums but still can’t get his hands on those , but you have all seven? “. Hades asked Rudra in skeptical tone.
” Umm yeah “. Rudra replied nervously as Hades broke into laughter
” HAHAHAHAHAHAHA …. WHAT A MORTAL “.
Hades laughed for a good 3 minutes as he couldn’t beleive his ears , this mortal was something special.
However after he stopped laughing Hades warned Rudra about something ” This advanced party of yours … How much do you trust them? “.
Rudra raised an eyebrow as he said ” My best men … Why? “.
” Not everyone can resist the corrosion from the title page of the demons diary , it is a living breathing demon of desire that I enslaved into the title and although after centuries of being sealed it must be weakened , but most mortals would not be able to resist it’s temptations and fall into depravity.
The demons diary is not something mortals can casually posess . I specifically made it that way only those with the strongest of wills and unwavering resolve can touch that diary and still remain sane”.
Rudra was shocked to hear this information , seemed like he needed to have a long chat with the spy group as this was serious stuff.
Seeing Rudra’s silence , Hades said ” It will be incredible if you can deliver the entire diary to me , but i don’t think it’s possible.
Once you return hand over all the pages of the diary in your posession by soaking them in your blood infront of my statue .
I would rather have the incomplete diary safe with me rather than leaving the possibility of Lucifer getting his hands on a completed one.
It’s not that I don’t trust you my pope , but it’s only because the matter is too serious for you to understand “.
Rudra was a practical person , although he wanted to explore the powers of the demons diary himself , and just handing over the pages to Hades did not seem like a ambitious choice for him to make , he understood the gravity of the situation and decided that it was best to comply.
As the god and the human talked for the next few minutes about the fate of the church , the fate of humanity was being altered somewhere else.

( Meanwhile at the cuber corp )
” What do you think about Shakuni’s latest achievement? ” Official one said
” He is definitely getting closer to Hades , i mean he is a primordial god , its good for the future of humanity isn’t it? “. Official two replied.
” But Hades is not one of our target gods , we weren’t supposed to befriend him. Earth’s best chance is with beniogre , she is benevolent and tolerant towards new species joining her faction and her group is voted to be the least toxic amongst them all , which is why we requested her to be the central relegion in Omega “. Official three expressed his concerns.
” But Hades is much stronger than beniogre , if the boy can successfully help him overthrow Lucifer , i think he would be valued highly after first awakening and with association our planet as well “. Official one argued back
Gaia the AI who heard this conversation in silence said nothing , as she was the only one who knew that an even more powerful god had his eyes set on Rudra since before Omega was even introduced .
But she could never reveal this information in the first place , as even speaking that god’s name was forbidden and should his chosen ones be revealed , the planet might not make it to the first awakening in the first place.
