Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697: Bastard

Neo lowered his hand.

"You...!" Amelia’s voice cracked, but her glare burned with fury. "How dare you do that!?"

Layla had already slipped behind her.

Her fingers flashed through a quick series of hand signs.

Neo noticed it and frowned.

He opened his mouth to speak but paused when something felt wrong.

"Huh?"

His eyes fell to his hands.

They... felt different.

He looked around him and his brows creased.

The Sky Barrier was intact.

The area he had torn apart moments ago by him was completely restored, as if his attack had never happened.

And yet, he was still standing inside the Sky Barrier.

Amelia stood far in front of him.

Her shoulders were straight, and her expression calm.

She was uninjured.

More than that, she hadn’t even deployed her World yet.

Far behind her, Earth floated quietly. Perfectly unharmed.

Neo’s mind ran in circles.

Had time been turned back?

No... he could guarantee it hadn’t.

He had prepared for that very possibility.

If Amelia or Layla tried to drag things to the past to save Earth, he was ready to intervene.

But what he was seeing now didn’t match that.

It was as if time had been pulled to an earlier point, the moment he first entered the Solar System after breaking through the barrier.

And yet... it wasn’t exactly the same.

Not everything had reset.

The Sky Barrier was perfectly fine, even though it should’ve been damaged.

Nullhour Firmament remained trapped in his Shadow Space.

Something was off.

"You can defeat us," Amelia said evenly.

She raised her hand, and her World flared to life around her. "But you can’t win."

"Is that so?"

He clenched his fist.

Space around Earth bent violently, compressing with crushing force.

The planet was obliterated instantly.

Amelia screamed as backlash struck her body.

Blood spurted from her lips.

But before the last fragment of her Divine Energy burned away, she finished another set of hand signs.

The same strange feeling swept past Neo.

Then Earth was whole again.

Amelia stood uninjured, as if she hadn’t been bleeding since a few seconds ago.

"It happened again."

He had destroyed Earth twice.

And yet... the result was denied.

He lifted his hand and snapped his fingers.

Nullhour Concept rippled outward.

The Solar System was erased into nothingness.

And then—

"Again, huh."

The Solar System reappeared.

Planets circled the sun as if nothing had happened.

Amelia’s eyes locked onto him. She was wary of him.

Neo’s thoughts raced.

’This time, Earth and everyone else was destroyed before they could use hand sings.’

It meant...

"So the hand signs are not necessary," he muttered.

Amelia and Layla had pretended the hand signs mattered.

The cycle repeated whether they were used or not.

Then why use them? Why make him think they were part of it?

’The hand signs were a distraction.’

’They wanted me to waste time on thinking that hand signs mattered.’

Why?

Even the smallest distraction was still time bought.

"You’re stalling me. Who are you trying to buy time for, Amelia de Beaufort?"

"The World."

A graveyard spread out across the void. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
