"Who opened the gate?!" A booming man's voice could be heard through the underworld.
"Pluto!!! Stop struggling! Just give the underworld to !" a female voice resounded.
"Ha! As if I will let you take my world! You just took by surprise! I will retake the underworld before you can notice it!" Pluto boasted.
The world rumbled as the two rulers of the underworld tried to take over control from each other. Both of them have the qualification as the ruler, as their domain was a major aspect of the underworld.
Underworld was about to have a major change, whether Pluto or Styx win the battle, the world will inevitably suffer and people that live in it will die.
"Shit! Who is fighting Pluto? I thought the war would stop when the gate of the underworld got opened!" Sol lanted.
From what he knew, Atlas only needed to open the gate so he could go to the mortal realm, but suddenly there is a woman fighting the god of the underworld over control of the world.
"Anyway, It's not my problem, I will just return to the mortal realm. The longer I say here, the more dangerous it becos," He picked himself up.
The other people who were there also have the sa thought as him. They hurriedly went toward the gate.
To his dismay, only a major demigod or stronger could pass through the gate, a lot of minor demigods got repelled by the gate.
"Fuck! We have gone this far! We need to pass through!" A man that got repelled tried again, but the sa thing happened again.
The gate seems to be able to differentiate between people, so can pass without trouble while it would repel others.
"What is wrong here? Why do so minor demigods get repelled while others don't?" Sol wondered.
Sol did not rust to pass through the gate yet, he wanted to make sure that he qualified to pass through the gate.
From his observation, if soone got repelled once then they would be repelled again no matter what they do.
After a long observation, he let out a sigh of relief. He finally knew what the qualification was to pass through the gate.
"It seems that soul of the dead can only pass if they beco a major demigod, those weaker than a major demigod can't get back to the land of the living," he mused.
He looked at the hydras he kept inside a crystal ball with relief, "I can still keep them, I can use them to fight stronger opponents, or I can give them to Nerodia as a souvenir."
With no further ado, he went toward the gate; he passed through the gate without problem but the mont he tried to pull the crystal ball along with him; he felt so resistance.
Luckily, the resistance was not big enough to stop him. He channels his power and breaks through the resistance by brute force.
"Forcibly bringing others out of the underworld is also possible, I guess that's why the gods could actually revive people, they just need to pull their soul through the gate," he thought.
With all that taken care of, he finally focused on his surroundings. Sol found himself in a white world, but when he focused, he noticed that it was not the world that was white, but snow covering the place he was at.
The temperature was really low, he could clearly feel the familiar world, the world that was cold because there was no sun.
"I'm back!" He could finally feel at ease, no ti limit, no war, no major gods trying to fight for control of the world.
Sol tiredly laid on the snow. It had been months since he could finally feel at ease. The cold snow felt way more comfortable on his skin, he knew that barely anyone could harm him.
In the underworld, just any random people he ets could possibly kill him, but in the mortal realm, the strongest were just minor demigods.
Of course, that was if he did not count the army of Gods and Demigods that just escaped the underworld.
Sol could see none of them, "It seems everyone got teleported to a different location," he thought.
"Wait, where is this? How should I get back ho?" he finally realized that he did not know where he was.
Sol waited for an hour for people to pick him up but it seed he was too optimistic. They only picked him up when he was about to be sent to the underworld so he would not run away from his punishnt.
He closed his eyes and tried to sense the mini-world. He could vaguely sense its location since he was connected to his mini world.
To his surprise, he was thousands of kiloters away, "I'm in a foreign nation!" he realized in shock.
Sol thought he could get ho as soon as he returned, but it dashed his hope when he knew he would need to take another journey to get ho.
"I need to find a city, at least I will know where I actually am. Hopefully, they have a teleportation gate so I can save so ti in traveling," he thought.
Sol conjured an ice pillar under him. It pushed him up high in the sky so he could see where the nearest city was.
As a minor demigod, Sol could make such a giant construct with ease, as long as he could see what he was conjuring, even making a highrise building was easy for him.
Sol found the nearest city was a few kiloters to the east. Once he knew his destination, Sol jumped down from the ice pillar and ran toward the city. He conjured a knife aura on his body so he could reach the city sooner.
Along the way, he sensed a lot of creatures, but he did not bother to kill them as they were only lesser demigods.
The Current Sol didn't even see lesser demigods as his opponent, he was accustod to fighting enemies on the higher rank than himself that fighting weaker opponents did not interest him at all.
"Compared to the underworld, this place feels like a playground," he grinned.
Even though he t a minor demigod stronger than him or even a major demigod, Sol still has an ace card up his sleeve.
It did not take long for him to reach the city. When he was near, he could sense a giant barrier covering the city.
Inside the barrier, the temperature was higher and there was less snow in it, Sol could feel the barrier was blocking his entry.
Unlike the cities he knew, this city doesn't have guard posts all around it. He suspects that the barrier will warn them when soone tries to enter the barrier.
He waited for the barrier to open or soone ca to let him into the city, but no one ca even after fifteen minutes of waiting.
"No one co? I guess I will just let myself in then," he shrugged as he raised his knife.
He stabbed the barrier before slicing it open just enough for him to pass. It was not strong enough to block the armant.
He walked into the barrier and he could see the city before him; it was a city out of a comic book in his eyes.
The technology was beyond what he knew before the upheaval, cars were flying everywhere and he could see robots even from outside the city.
"Did I dent onto the wrong world?" he wondered, but he was interrupted by twenty powerful presences that rapidly went after him.
Soon, he could see twenty armored demigods coming toward him, each of them was a minor demigod, but what strange was their get up, rather than a knight's armor or battle armor, their armor was closer to an exo-suit out of a sci-fi movie.
They pointed guns at him, strangely the gun did not have bullets but was filled with high concentrations of energy.
"What the fuck? Are they from the future or sothing?" it shocked Sol.
"Did ti flow differently in the underworld and I ca back after a hundred years or sothing," his mind went on overdrive, but the group of demigods did not give him any chance to think.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking our city?!" one of them asked in a loud voice.
"I did not attack the city, I just want to enter the city!" Sol tried to explain, but the group was not convinced.
"Lies! If you want to visit then, why did you break our barrier and not co through the front door?!"
The man's word made him grimace, "Fuck! How should I know that there is a front door!" he lanted, but they did not give him ti to explain further.
All twenty demigods shot their weapons and red laser beams were coming at Sol, he could feel the concentrated energy power, they would lt and burn his body if he did not dodge.
"Why the fuck every ti I tried to get into a new city they always attack ?!" he lanted.
