Chapter 150: 12 lives, can you kill them all?!
Inside the dilapidated palace corridors, the stench of blood mingled with the foul smell of ferocious beasts, creating a nauseating atmosphere.
Hercules stood like a mountain, with the severed head and body of the god of agriculture and war beneath his feet.
Of the remaining four Elders, Satan, who had transformed into a bull demon, was the most prominent, and they all roared in a mixture of shock and rage.
The agricultural god of war, Shepard X. Pitt Saint, he really is dead—
As the world's highest powers, possessing near-immortal bodies, how could they have imagined that they would actually perish here?!
However, just as fear was about to spread.
A deeper, colder will, originating from the very source of the world, forcefully poured into their minds, suppressing their emotions.
While the coldness suppressed the spread, it also profoundly stimulated the power belonging to the demon beasts within them!
"roar!!!"
The scientific defense god, Satan, let out a sharp screech, and the distorted human face on its massive spider body became even more ferocious. Countless compound eyes flashed with a violent red light!
It suddenly raised its sharp legs and, with speed beyond sight, pierced through Hercules' chest in an instant!
Pfft!
Blood splattered!
"Barsaka!" Bonnie screamed, her voice piercing with exhaustion as her strength was drained away.
However, Hercules merely glanced down at the piercing wound in his chest, his crimson eyes dimming slightly, but showing no emotion.
The next second, his massive body shuddered violently, and the fatal wound healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His injuries from the previous battle were also healed!
The aura emanating from him seemed to have become even more violent and immense, with his magic surging like a boiling ocean!
The Twelve Trials (GodHand) have begun again!
"What?! Resurrection?!" exclaimed Nassjuro, the God of Finance. "Not only that—his power—has become even stronger!" roared the God of Law, Vochuli.
"Void power, suppress him!" Marcus Mazshar shrieked.
With wings that flapped and burned with eerie blue flames, countless feathers containing intense heat blotted out the sky, dyeing it with a layer of blue flames. This beautiful yet deadly attack roared toward Hercules!
At the same time, the other three ferocious beasts also pounced!
The venom and threads of Satan, the slash of Nassuro, the savage charge and healing teeth of Vochuli, combined with the fire of Marcus, completely engulfed Hercules from all sides!
Rumble!!!
A terrifying attack erupted, and the entire palace area was almost completely razed to the ground!
Smoke and dust billowed into the sky!
In the distance, Kekdar, who had been completely unfazed by the Red Team's invasion and even somewhat excited, could no longer sit still!
"What? Are those guys going to blow up the entire palace? The Poneglyphs are still there!"
He watched as the navy and government agents sped towards the palace, and he knew he had to do something now—
Just as this thought popped into his head, the leisurely Tescatlipoca sat down opposite him.
That guy was sitting with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette, and you couldn't see a trace of divine aura about him.
He chuckled softly, "Hey—employer, are you finally going to use your precious second chance? Is it my turn to make a move?"
"Those two Servants from the Red Team are very strong; the people here definitely can't handle them—"
Crocodile suppressed his anger and lit a cigar.
"Get lost, stop spouting nonsense. Those are the Five Elders! Dealing with mindless beasts and the Pirate King of the old era is a piece of cake for them."
Smoke Mirror gave a cold laugh: "Is that so? A beast without reason might just slaughter its way through the World Government—"
Crocodile snorted coldly and remained silent.
He thought this would prevent Tescatlipoca from seeing through him, but little did he know that he had already sold everything to this god.
Back in the depths of the palace, amidst the smoke and dust, the berserker's voice could no longer be heard.
"No!!!" Bonnie closed her eyes in despair.
Bucky was terrified.
"We're doomed! We're really doomed this time! Four against one and they still managed to sneak up on us! The World Government is shameless!"
Only Jason's eyes remained filled with absolute trust in that great hero.
"What's the panic! That's Hercules! The man who completed the Twelve Trials and even ventured into the Underworld! This is nothing!"
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated, revealing the scene at the center.
Hercules knelt on one knee, his body covered in terrible wounds, some of which were even burned to the bone!
Clearly, he paid the price of two more lives in that terrifying barrage of fire!
However, when he stood up again, his already enormous body seemed to have swelled even more.
His height of less than 3 meters was not outstanding in the world of One Piece, but now it is obvious that he is close to 6 meters tall, and his body is also more robust.
His muscles bulged like granite blocks, and the boiling magic power around him almost formed a tangible crimson aura that soared into the sky!
The madness and divinity intertwined in those crimson eyes made them even more terrifying!
With each loss of his third and fourth lives, he gains extremely high resistance to the attack that killed him last time, and his strength increases to a new level!
"Roar!!!"
The reborn Hercules let out a deafening roar and launched an attack.
He is faster and stronger!
With a single punch, he sent Vochuli Saint, who was charging at the front, flying backward. Keep in mind that this guy was the biggest one!
One of his enormous fangs broke off and flew away to who knows where.
After delivering that punch, Hercules grabbed back and tore off one of the Satan Saint's sharpest legs!
He was a true berserk war god, fighting bravely against the siege of four ferocious beasts, and even managed to force them to retreat and suffer heavy injuries!
The attacks from the ferocious beasts were much less effective than before when they landed on him!
"Damn it! His resistance is increasing!"
"Restore! Restore quickly! Lord Im is watching us!" Saint Vocuri roared.
Their wounds healed rapidly under the infusion of void power, but the damage inflicted by Hercules had clearly depleted a great deal of their strength.
The battle has reached a strange stalemate.
Hercules was temporarily unable to instantly kill four powerful enemies with rapid regeneration abilities, and the Four Elders were also unable to truly kill this berserker who grew stronger with each death.
Bucky and Bonnie were extremely anxious.
Bucky was so anxious he was jumping up and down.
"This will never end! Even if that giant thing can resurrect, its magic isn't limitless! Little girl, can you still hold on?"
Bonnie was pale and clenched his teeth.
"I'm fine! Hercules is trying to conserve my magic—but Jason still looks smug, even crossing his arms, pointing at the battlefield, and loudly mocking.
"Hey! Is this all the supreme power the World Government is capable of? Four against one and they're still struggling?"
"It seems that all you can do is turn into monsters to scare people, and that's all you're good for! In Greece, any Minotaur would be tougher than you!"
His trash talk clearly angered the Four Elders, but they were too preoccupied with Hercules to pay attention to anything else.
"We cannot give him another chance to revive! This ferocious beast, beyond our control, must be completely eradicated!"
Itsumade screamed, and the ghostly blue void fire rose once more.
"For the sake of the World Government's absolute authority, I will kill you every time you are resurrected! Until you can no longer rise again!"
"Roar!!!" Hercules responded with an even more ferocious roar, Jason seemingly speaking on behalf of his best friend: "Twelve lives, you bunch of trash, how can you possibly kill them all!!!"
The battle has broken out again!
This time, the four ferocious beasts attacked with even greater ferocity and coordination.
A pair of cold, merciless eyes watched them from behind, and a continuous stream of void power flowed into their bodies, imbuing their attacks with even greater energy.
Satan Saint spewed out a vast web, attempting to restrain Heracles' movements. Vochuli Saint lowered his head, and Healing Fang, covered in Armament Haki, launched a savage charge. He flung Vochuli Saint aside, grabbed a huge broken pillar with one hand, and hurled it at Itsumade in the air like a javelin.
Itsumade dodged in alarm, but his burning wings were grazed, and he cried out in pain.
Just then, Hercules, in the midst of the fierce battle, suddenly turned around, his burning red eyes fixed precisely on Jason, and issued a clear will.
"Walk!"
Jason was taken aback at first, but then he immediately understood that Hercules was creating an opportunity for them to escape.
He believed that with Hercules' power, even if he couldn't win, escaping would be no problem at all.
But these Masters staying here would only become a burden!
"Understood! Great hero!" Jason nodded slightly, maintaining his nonchalant expression.
He then grabbed Bonnie, who was still in a daze, and Bucky, who was trying to hide in a crack in the ground.
"Hurry! Don't let him down!"
"But Hercules, he..." Bonnie struggled to turn around.
"Believe him! He is Hercules!"
Jason roared, his voice filled with unquestionable trust.
"Your survival, providing him with magic so he can fight without worry, is the best support you can give him!"
Taking advantage of Hercules's renewed outburst, during which he single-handedly held off the four ferocious beasts, the three of them smashed through the remaining walls on the side and fled frantically towards the outskirts of the palace!
