Alec Gascoigne, whose nickname is more famous than his name, defeated the fallen angel Remiel, who governed visions and thunder, and usurped the authority of divine speed to become the Black Prince. His father was an occult scholar who taught him a bit of magic, but he was better at gambling and sleight of hand. At sixteen, his father died while searching for the Holy Grail, leaving him a code that launched his adventure. During a failed ritual by ancient monks to create a God Slayer, he encountered the angel Remiel and ultimately triumphed through extraordinary luck and sharp intuition, becoming a God Slayer.
Hades looked at Alec and said, "You've been watching from the sky for a long time, haven't you? Trying to let the snipe and the clam fight so you can reap the rewards."
"Tch! So you noticed me long ago, Hades?" Alec said in a very annoyed tone.
Hades waved his arm and turned to leave, not forgetting to turn his head to say to Minos:
"Minos, I leave this God Slayer to you."
"Thank you for the gift, Lord Hades," Minos bowed respectfully, then looked at Alec with a cruel grin.
Alec's expression turned ugly because among the heretic gods he had previously slain was a Minos.
In Greek legend, Minos was the King of Crete, son of Zeus and Europa (along with brothers Rhadamanthys and Sarpedon). The Minoan Civilization is also known as the Cretan Civilization. Minos's existence remains a matter of mythological speculation; some believe he was a powerful monarch, while others believe 'Minos' was not a name but a title, much like 'Pharaoh'.
Upon arriving in this world, Minos had replaced the local Minos and possessed the memories of a heretic god. He intended to use cruel methods to torture Alec for having killed a clone of himself in this world.
Minos looked at Alec with a cruel grin and said:
"Come, let us dance, my lovely little Marionette."
With that, Minos extended his other hand, and transparent, invisible threads flew out again, entangling Alec.
Then, Minos flicked both hands upward, and Alec's entire body floated into the air.
"Minos, what are you trying to do?!" Alec struggled desperately, his pupils shrinking as he asked Minos in terror.
Minos continued to grin cruelly and said, "I told you, let's perform the Dance of Death, Marionette."
With that, Minos moved his fingers as if holding a conductor's baton.
Crack crack crack crack crack—!!!
Countless crisp cracking sounds rang out as Alec's limbs twisted in unimaginable positions. His expression became exceptionally distorted and pained.
"Aaaaaagh—!!" Alec screamed in agony. He could have used his authority to escape, but he lost his calm judgment due to the sheer intensity of the pain.
Consequently, Alec was in too much pain to even find an opportunity to cast magic for a counterattack before he died.
Minos led the Specters off the stage, returning to the Underworld and bringing Alec to Cocytus to suffer the eternal torment of ice.
In Elysium, Hades stood on a small hill, using his Omniscient and Omnipotent Power to look at the God Slayers trapped in Cocytus and said:
"Of the current six God Slayers, half have already fallen."
Among the remaining God Slayers, only Luo Hao and Anne—who were captured by Huang and Rhadamanthys—and Madame Aisha remained.
Madame Aisha was a maid from a low caste in India with no surname; 'Madame' was a title of respect. She was energetic, naturally airheaded, gentle, and kind. She loved traveling and was brought back to her employer's home country because she was well-liked. After the family of her employer—whom she considered close friends—died in an accident, she inherited their fortune and began traveling the world. Eventually, through a series of coincidences, she unintentionally slew the goddess Persephone and became a God Slayer.
However, she was neither skilled at nor fond of fighting, yet she possessed a sixth sense worthy of the name Campione, allowing her to instinctively counterattack in times of danger. Although her authorities were not specialized for combat, they possessed potential power that could not be ignored. Combined with the fierce Campione nature that Aisha would thoroughly display when necessary and her unpredictability that transcended the limits of time and space, she was an exceptionally prominent troublemaker among the six campiones.
She was likely currently traveling through the Nether Realm, the past, or even parallel worlds using her [Corridor of Fairies] authority.
Hades's eyes glowed with purple light as he pushed his Omniscient and Omnipotent Power to its limit, observing the past, present, and future worlds, as well as nearly infinite parallel universes.
Finally, Hades found Madame Aisha in an unknown parallel world. She appeared as a beautiful and cute brown-skinned girl with black hair, wearing white clothes that resembled a nun's habit.
"Found you," Hades said, his eyes glowing. He then reached out his hand and grabbed forward.
In that instant, Madame Aisha, who had been in a parallel world, appeared in Hades's grasp, and he was firmly clutching her by the neck.
"Where is this?! Who are you?!" Suddenly appearing in Elysium, Madame Aisha was completely bewildered and spoke in a terrified tone.
"Ugh...!!" Hades squeezed Aisha's neck hard, causing her immense pain. Aisha grabbed the arm Hades used to hold her, trying to use her authority to escape.
But to her shock, for some reason, she couldn't activate any of her authorities here. Thus, she could only use her physical strength to struggle desperately.
Hades saw through Aisha's attempt and said to her with purple light in his eyes, "It's useless. In this Underworld created by me, you cannot use any authority without my permission."
"You... who are you...?" Aisha looked at Hades, who was wearing the grey six-winged underworld armor, with pain and confusion.
Hades spoke with immense majesty, "My true name is Hades, King of the Underworld, the husband of Persephone, the goddess you first defeated."
