In short, Hades safely departed.
Neither Ratz nor Kuiers chose to continue the pursuit.
This battle, in a way, came to a close.
After escaping with his life, Ratz, though still pale, looked and felt significantly better: "Kuiers, I truly have to thank you this time. If it weren't for your help, I might have met a disastrous end at the hands of the Netherworld King."
"A disastrous end? Heh, your words are quite amusing." A trace of mockery flashed in Kuiers' eyes as he spoke, "Even though I haven't crossed paths with the Netherworld King, I can sense that her power is immensely strong."
"Even at your peak, against her, your chances would be fifty-fifty."
Kuiers clearly wasn't trying to save Ratz any face, speaking without any restraint.
Ratz was taken aback, then secretly gritted his teeth.
Inwardly, he harbored resentment towards Kuiers as well.
