"Die hundreds of millions of times? And every single time it's a real death?"
Hades couldn't help but swallow hard. Was this a method even human could come up with? Wouldn't it drive someone insane?
Andrew asked with a half-smile, "What, you don't want to? You were so sure before that you would choose the second path, even going so far as to reject the sunny road I designed for you."
“Boss, I didn’t say I’m giving up. I, Hades, am known for my unwavering loyalty. Once I make a choice, I will never change it.”
Hades was startled by this and hurriedly said, "I said I would oppose Zeus, and I will oppose Zeus for the rest of my life. I said I would follow the BOSS, and I will follow him for life. I said I would choose the second path, and I will never change my mind."
In fact, Hades had already vaguely realized that he was in a deep pit, but as the saying goes, one must walk the path one has chosen, even with tears in one's eyes; He had no other choice.
Andrew nodded with great satisfaction: "Very good, Hades, you are indeed the bravest man among Zeus's three siblings."
"There are only three people in total, and one of them was turned into a woman by you. What's the use of this praise? Wait, no, it's useful. No matter what, as long as you're stronger than Zeus, that's fine."
Hades thought to himself with satisfaction, then pondered for a moment and asked, "Boss, let me make it clear beforehand that I don't mean to refuse to take the second path, but the method you suggested doesn't seem very feasible."
Andrew asked with great interest, "Why not?"
Seeing that Andrew wasn't angry, Hades breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Boss, your theory is correct. If I really died millions of times and believed that I was really dead each time, then I could really improve my strength quickly because my understanding of the rules of death would advance by leaps and bounds."
The problem is, that's impossible. How could I possibly believe I was truly dead every time?
Hades paused, then continued, “I know, BOSS, you can seal my memories. The problem is, this method only works for the first few dozen times. After that, even if I have no memories, I will still be calm and unafraid of death.”
The reason is simple: you get used to dying. Memories can be erased, but the feeling of death will be imprinted on your body and soul, just like those time-travel movies. After a while, everyone gets used to it.
Furthermore, the death scenes and various settings, if they are too similar, will greatly reduce my sense of realism. Again, even without memory, the subconscious will detect clues.
"That's right. It seems you really like this path, otherwise you wouldn't have thought it through so clearly. Hades, you're very good."
Andrew praised Hades, who was somewhat embarrassed. The reason He said so much was not because He liked this path, but because He wanted to stop it.
Did Andrew not know? Of course he did. He said it on purpose. The reason is simple: if Hades is put on the grill and praised like this, how could Hades possibly shirk his responsibility?
"I have already thought about what you're saying, and it's not a problem at all."
Andrew said, "Didn't that scene just now feel very real, like it was from the real world?"
"Yes, it is indeed very real."
Hades nodded in agreement: "Boss, could it really be the real world? Could there be a small world inside that chair?"
"You think too much."
Andrew shook his head and said, "This chair was actually taken from another dimension..."
Andrew recounted the origin of the chair, though not the whole story, only mentioning the parts he could.
Hades stared in disbelief at Andrew, the embodiment of the rules of death—wasn't this something that should belong to Him?
Andrew stared at Hades, puzzled. "Are you trying to say something?" Hades swallowed hard. Even if he had managed to get his hands on it, he would have had no choice but to accept it if the King of Superpowers snatched it away.
"The treasure that should have belonged to me was stolen. Sigh, but that's normal. The King of Superpowers likes to steal things, like our destiny protagonist status as the Fifth Compound Tree."
Hades muttered to himself, "Boss, what is the origin of the chair and how does it relate to the previous question?"
"Of course there is. There is no small world inside the chair; there is only the death of Earthlings. After all, this chair represents the rules of all the Grim Reapers on Earth."
Andrew said, "You were imagining yourself as an Earthling being hit by a car and killed, so it felt very real to you because the event itself was real."
Next, you will continuously project yourself into these deceased people, dying again and again. Because it is a real experience, your subconscious and instincts will be suppressed.
In other words, you can die tens of thousands, millions, or even hundreds of millions of times, and that's perfectly fine.
Even better, this won't take much time, perfectly timed for the upcoming decisive battle at the sea fortress. Hades, your strength is about to increase dramatically, are you happy?
Do I look happy?
Hades thought to himself, of course, only in his mind. What a joke! How many guts would he have to say such a thing to Andrew?
What, you're refusing? After all that flattery, how could I, how dare I refuse?
"Boss, I'm so happy, you're so good to me."
Hades said, but inwardly he was gritting his teeth, “I should thank him for torturing me with what is rightfully mine. This life is just too terrible.”
Yes, it was torture. Dying hundreds of millions of times, how could it not be torture? When his memories finally returned, Hades wondered if he would go insane. He was still just a child, how could he bear such cruelty?
Hades is indeed a child, or rather, all the Compound V trees are children; they are relatively new.
"Very good, all my efforts in nurturing you have not been in vain."
Andrew was very satisfied. He said, "Then let's begin. I think you will be completely transformed after this. At that time, I will help you kill the King of Negativity so that you can take your revenge."
"Slay the King of Negativity?"
Hades was surprised and asked, "BOSS, can I do this? Although the King of Negation is just an avatar, this avatar has the power of the King of the Underworld's divine status, as well as the negative energy transmitted by the King of Negation. With the added benefit of the alternate dimension, its strength is definitely stronger than the previous avatar."
I was no match for the King of Negativity before, let alone His next incarnation.
"Don't worry, as long as you complete my training, you will definitely be able to defeat the King of Negativity."
Andrew said confidently, "If we can't, it's definitely because we haven't trained enough. We can strengthen our training."
"Boss, no need to strengthen it for now, let's leave it like this."
Hades hurriedly waved his hand, "Please, if you increase it any further, I really will go crazy."
