Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 752

Chapter 752: Slumber

Neo POV

Neo, the Blessed of Water, and Moraine were traveling through space.

The stars stretched endlessly around them. The silence was broken only by the hum of the ship’s engines.

Suddenly, the Blessed of Water’s eyes began to glow.

Neo’s attention snapped toward her.

That light only appeared when the Supreme took over her body.

"Stop the spaceship," the Supreme said. Her voice carried a calm authority that filled the room. "There’s no need to go there anymore."

Neo frowned. "What do you mean?"

The Supreme didn’t answer.

She walked toward the center of the hall and closed her eyes.

A low chant began to flow from her lips in a language Neo didn’t recognize.

The air around her thickened.

Her presence swelled until the walls of the ship began to vibrate.

Blood began to drip from her eyes, nose, and mouth.

Neo stepped forward instinctively.

"Stop, you’re—"

But before he could finish, the blood that hit the ground began to rise.

It floated together, swirling like a red mist before shaping itself into a human body.

White hair. Red eyes.

Amelia.

She was unconscious, floating quietly in the air.

The Supreme of Water fell to her knees, coughing violently. Blood splattered onto the floor. Her once radiant form began to shrivel and dim.

"I’m sorry, child, for doing this to you," she whispered weakly.

Then, mouth moved again.

Her voice was same. However, her tone changed. It became softer, warmer like a child speaking to her mother. "It was my honor to serve you, Mother. To fall while being in your embrace is my greatest reward."

Neo stood frozen.

He could barely understand what he was seeing.

The Blessed of Water—the Supreme’s vessel—was dying.

Cracks spread across her skin like shattered glass.

The Supreme looked toward Neo, her fading eyes meeting his.

"She is the only one I could save," she said, her gaze drifting back to Amelia.

Then she looked at him again.

"I will fall asleep now. I’ve broken too many Laws and spent too much energy to bring her back."

She tried to stand but her legs gave out.

Still, she forced herself upright and took one trembling step toward Neo.

"Son of Monarch... no," she said softly, "Neo Hargraves."

Neo’s breath caught in his throat.

His mind was processing and understand everything that was happening.

Yet, his heart wanted to refuse it all.

"Protect this child. She is our only hope. The only weapon that can defeat ’him.’"

Her voice faded.

Her body began to crumble like sand slipping through fingers.

Neo reached out, but it was too late.

The body of the Blessed of Water disintegrated completely, and the presence of the Supreme vanished.

The silence that followed was unbearable.

Neo clenched his fists.

"What did she mean by that?" he muttered. "She said she’s going to fall asleep? Amelia’s the only weapon?"

He looked at Amelia’s floating body.

"And why did she say she could only save her?"

Unease crept into his chest.

He turned to the ship’s console.

They were still several hours away from the Site.

"Damn it."

He slammed his hand on the table.

He looked back at Amelia.

She was still unconscious. Her breathing was steady but faint.

His mind ran through possibilities.

Were they defeated by the Ancient Dragons?

That didn’t make sense. They had Amelia, Arthur, Percival, Felix. Each of them was powerful in their own right.

"They shouldn’t have lost. Even the dragons wouldn’t have been able to overpower all of them at once," Neo muttered, as if trying to reassure himself.

Moraine looked at him with a gaze filled with emotions.

She saw him trying to deny the truth in front of his eyes.

He started pacing, tapping his foot against the metal floor.

Every second that passed made his worry worse.

He wanted Amelia to wake up. He needed answers.

Moraine spoke from behind him. "Neo, stop getting anxious. Worrying won’t change anything. You need a clear mind to decide what to do next."

Neo looked at her and nodded slowly. "You’re right."

He took a deep breath and sat down.

The minutes crawled by.

The hum of the ship felt louder now. Every vibration seemed to echo through the silence.

He forced himself to stay calm, though his thoughts refused to stop spinning.

He kept glancing at Amelia, hoping she would move.

Hours passed like that.

"Neo," Moraine said finally, "we’re here at the Site."

Neo didn’t wait.

He teleported out of the ship immediately.

And froze.

There was nothing.

Just empty space stretching endlessly in every direction.

He blinked, thinking for a moment that they had arrived at the wrong location.

But when he checked the coordinates, they were exact.

Everything that had should’ve existed here—the Site, the Berserker Elementals, his friends—was gone.

"There’s not even a trace of Berserker Elements," he said quietly. "It’s all been erased."

Arthur. Percival. Felix. The Soul Fragment of his mother. Even the faint traces of the Site’s structure were gone.

Neo tried turning back time.

The spell activated, but nothing changed.
