Chapter 1003: Extreme Meeting
Besides Hades and Io, Paros was the only one in the palace.
This four-armed demon is the personal guard prepared by Hades for Io.
Even at the cost of his own life, he would not put Io in any danger.
His demon-like body symbolizes his terrifying fighting power.
He will be the strongest shield of the Tartarus royal family.
There were no ministers, no generals, just the three of them.
This palace is not a place for meetings.
Most of the kingdom's affairs are handled and planned by the Cabinet and the General Staff, whose offices are located elsewhere.
Important matters will be reported to Hades at a fixed time.
Hades prefers to work from "home" rather than going to the palace.
That is to say, in some formal occasions, Hades will handle them in the main hall.
The entire kingdom of Chronos was controlled by Hades and the royal family of Tartarus.
Hades's observation Haki can monitor the entire kingdom.
There is no force that can resist him.
This situation will continue for a long time. Not counting pure gold, it will be no problem for Hades himself to live to be 150 years old.
With the control of the body through Life Return, Hades can slow down the aging of the body and maintain it in peak condition for a long time.
This has become instinct for Hades.
What's more, the Kingdom of Chronos has a large number of precious medicinal materials and top-quality nutrient solutions that can nourish the body, replenish life, and prolong life.
One hundred and fifty is still very conservative.
With Hades' powerful strength, he can even live to two hundred years old.
For ordinary people, this is a very long life.
Even surpassing those top-level mythical beast devil fruit users.
After all, if you want to live longer, maintenance is important.
It mainly relies on technology.
Using pure gold means that Hades' own strength has reached its limit and cannot be improved any further.
Hades will not use it until that time comes.
He doesn't want to reach his limit. Reaching a bottleneck is a very scary thing.
This is also the main reason why Hades decided to explore space.
After all, the ocean is so big that it is difficult to improve one's strength by other means.
In addition to the "Immortality Surgery" of the Operation Fruit, it is also possible that Dixiu's curse can do it.
The limit of the ocean does not represent the limit of the universe.
Exploring the sea of stars is not only for the Kingdom of Chronos, but also for oneself.
People cannot be without ambition. Only those who are bored will think about becoming the king of the world.
There was absolutely no thought given to how to manage the world.
This cannot be achieved through violence alone.
World government is the lesson.
No one can compete with the world.
If you stand too high, much of the scenery you see will be obscured.
What's more, it's only the superpowers like them that are targeting the World Government.
This sea hides a lot of power.
Similar to the Flower Kingdom in the West Sea, the Rock Kingdom in the New World has a profound cultural heritage, and there are many powerful countries guarding it with top-level combat forces.
No one knows what precious devil fruits are hidden in the treasure houses of these kingdoms.
A powerful fighting talent combined with top-level devil fruit abilities can cultivate a top-level combat force.
For Hades, cultivating top-level combat power is not a difficult task. The most important thing is to be a strong man who can stand on the top of the sea.
This requires sufficient talent and even willpower and other aspects.
People with fragile hearts cannot stand on the top of the ocean.
The door was pushed open by the guards.
Sakaski saw Hades on the throne at a glance.
Hades is already forty-six years old, but his face is still young.
In his arms was a child, probably the offspring of Hades, and below him was a terrifying figure with an aggressive aura.
He is wearing armor, has demon horns belonging to the ghost clan, but has four strong arms.
It's a hybrid of the Multi-Armed Tribe and the Ghost Tribe, Sakaski thought to himself.
Paros' attitude towards Sakaski was not very good, it was very cold and scrutinizing.
After all, he was born in the Valley of the Gods and was once a slave of the Celestial Dragons. His father was a multi-armed person and his mother was a demon.
He has been abused by the Celestial Dragons since he could remember, and has been fighting in the arena constantly for a chance to survive.
His parents had died before that.
As the Navy is a running dog of the World Government, how can its attitude be good?
However, he was aware of his current identity and hid his hostility.
Entering the palace, Barrett and Gerard stood respectfully by the side.
Sakaski took out a document with the government seal from his arms and handed it to Gerard.
Jellal wanted to hand the document to Hades.
Hades waved his hand and chuckled softly, his voice ringing in the ears of several people like a spring breeze.
"It's not necessary. It's just a formality. Please excuse me for coming all this way, Lieutenant General Sakaski."
"The following reception has been arranged. We will officially set off in three days. During this time, you can ask Jellal and Barrett to take you around the royal capital."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hades stood up and left from the back of the palace.
Io and Paros followed closely behind him.
Coming to see Sakaski is to show him respect.
Hades could have arranged for Sakaski to come directly without a meeting, or just let Sakaski wait at the port.
Even so, Sakaski couldn't say anything.
Besides, there was nothing much to talk about between the two of them.
The two parties are at different levels and have different statuses.
In today's navy, only the Admiral is barely qualified to have an equal conversation with him.
If it is the World Government, it will be the Five Elders, the Commander-in-Chief of the God's Guard, and the patriarchs of each Celestial Dragon family.
This was also the first meeting between the two.
Sakaski is relatively unfamiliar with Hades.
And Hades was very familiar with Sakaski.
There was no need for Hades to come in person to entertain Sakaski; arrangements had already been made in advance.
"Come on, Lieutenant General Sakaski, please."
Jellal was able to see Hades and be called out by name by Hades, which was enough to excite him.
This means that the king is paying attention to him.
Even within the Kingdom of Chronos, Hades is like a legend and there is very little chance to see him.
Even for himself, it was the second time he saw Hades.
In most cases, Hades stays in the palace.
Sakaski didn't expect it to end so quickly. He only met Hades once.
From the words of several senior navy men, Hades is a man with extremely terrifying strength and a very proud heart.
In terms of strength, Sakaski could clearly feel that unfathomable combat power. Just standing there could bring him tremendous pressure.
When faced with a monster like that, the body will instinctively send out a warning and feel threatened.
But in terms of attitude, Hades does not seem to be as arrogant as rumored.
Sakaski had not expected that he would be able to see Hades in advance, and he would also be able to enter the Kingdom of Chronos.
Even Borsalino only stayed in the port of the Kingdom of Chronos.
It can be said that the Kingdom of Chronos gave him a lot of face, and he could feel it.
Follow Gerard and the other two out of the palace.
Sakaski knew that he would gain a lot more.
He was a little impatient about the Royal Military Academy.
