As soon as the words left Neela’s lips, she slammed a fierce punch onto Donovan Orlando’s chest.Neela was a true Benares Dragon and not the so-called bloodline of a Benares Dragon. There was a vast difference between the two. Those of the lineage only had a little bit more edge, while Neela had all the inheritance and bloodline of the Benares Dragons. She was also part of the royal family!A dragon was the divine beast of heaven and earth.The punch came down with an unimaginable force.Clang!Loud echoes rang in the air.Donovan had already suffered significant damage to his soul because he had been tricked. Now, his entire head felt like it was about to burst open from the pain. How could he have defended against Neela’s attack? He was instantly blown away by the force of the punch.However, the sound that rang out was wrong.It was the piercing sound of gold clashing against iron. Neela’s fist was covered with dragon scales, and it sounded as though she had punched a heavy,
This…Just then, Donovan Orlando saw Alex move, reaching out and absorbing the Chaos Beads one by one. It looked effortless to Alex, as easy as picking rocks up from the ground.When all four Chaos Beads were in his hands, Alex looked over to Donovan and smiled, revealing a white row of teeth.“Thanks a lot! You’re such a good person, giving me all the shattered Chaos Beads like that. I’ll definitely make good use of them.”Alex’s words immediately caused fury to surge through Donovan’s mind. But in the next instant, Alex directly retracted all four shattered Chaos Beads into his mind palace. “Blargh!”Donovan violently coughed up a mouthful of blood. The divine soul connection between him and the shattered Chaos Beads was severed abruptly and forcefully.“I’ll kill you!” Donovan rushed back in, intending to snatch back his shattered Chaos Beads.But Neela instantly appeared in front of Alex with a smile on her face. “My Lord, not only does this guy have shattered Chaos Be
“Uh-oh…”Alex looked over Hermione Yggdrasil’s condition.Her injuries were somewhat severe. She had a wound on her chest, one that had been decapitated horizontally, and it looked like her sternum had been severed. The towering female assets adorning her chest looked like they had been paid no mercy, left half-exposed in the open.Her wounds were too severe and too bizarre.Hermione, however, was still alive.At her heart area, there was a white light that leaped around gently and had protected her pulse. Now, this bright light was slowly repairing Hermione’s wound.“It feels so familiar!” Alex murmured because of the familiar feeling the white light gave him.It was Xienna’s aura.“She’s not dead yet, but this life-saving white light is also not enough to save her life,” Neela said. “My lord, do you wish to save her?”Alex had previously told her that everyone here was out to kill him. So, as Alex’s benefactor and faithful guardian, Neela naturally regarded every single one
On the other hand, Alex felt no regrets. He had managed to gather many rewards from this place, after all.This was especially for the four shattered Chaos Beads, which was practically a dream come through.“What was it that cut you up this badly? Was it a Puppet Immortal?” Alex asked.“They… they were ghosts... ghosts! There are ghosts here!” Hermione Yggdrasil seemed distracted and incoherent.Alex bristled, wondering if he should just leave her here to fend for herself.Just then, among the ruins, a slender-looking woman walked out.“Puppet Immortal!”Alex had killed hundreds of such puppets on the way here and was naturally no stranger to them.Every puppet looked exactly the same.Alex drew his Dragon Bone Sword and waited for the Puppet Immortal to approach them.Strangely, this female puppet did not immediately rush up to fight and kill them, unlike the others that Alex had decimated before her.‘Alright, I’ll make a move first. I can save some energy by doing so an
Alex looked at Mask and then towards the woman who was sitting on the throne. Then, he asked, “Who is she?”“A deity,” Mask replied.It surprised Alex even more, and he asked again more tentatively, “Athena?” There was no mistake. The woman on the throne looked similar to the sculpture that Alex had seen, especially the shape she took. She looked exactly the same.The long spear.The golden shield.The precious crown.The corner of Mask’s lips curled up slightly. “I didn’t expect that you would actually know my name from ancient times.”Alex’s jaw dropped open.It was actually really Athena.But wasn’t Athena a character from Greek mythology? How could she appear in this place?And this sanctuary, it was clearly just some stone ruins before this. But, as soon as the sun had set and the moon rose, it instantly changed into this western-styled Sunset Shrine.Alex also made a point to touch the buildings. They were all very real. None of them were illusions.“So, you’re real
“For one to don the crown, one must also bear the weight of it!”Athena looked at the silent deity of herself that sat on the throne. The look on her face was determined, but underneath it was also a hint of sadness.Finally, Athena closed her eyes, and crystal drops of tears slid down her ears.Slowly, she placed the crown on top of her head.Woosh!A surge of divine power rippled through the air.It rushed out from Athena’s body on the throne, and with the crown on her head as the medium, the power entered her current body.In the next instance, the hair on the puppet’s body that Athena was in gradually changed. It first turned purple before growing out quickly. The aura her body exuded kept changing constantly, rippling with divine power, which was both ancient and holy.Athena’s puppet body seemed to have changed in just a single moment.She… had turned into the real Athena.After a beat, the deity Athena which sat on the throne, seemed to have lost all support. She f
“H-Holy Saints?” Alex’s eyes trembled. Why did the name sound so familiar?Didn’t that mean that particular Japanese anime was adapted from actual events? Could the author of those anime actually know Athena?But after he thought about it, he determined it impossible.The Athena that stood in front of him... who knew how many years she had been in the Infernal Realm?However, right now…The bronze door was still tightly closed, and the puppet immortals led by Phaseless couldn’t break through the defense of the door. There was no one inside Sunset Shrine, so what was the point of Athena asking them to charge?Alex and Neela glanced at each other and suspected that this new Athena was still being influenced by her original deity body and that perhaps her slightly fragmented memories were stuck in her old body.“Neela, are those real wings?”“There’s some real texture to it. It’s not pure gold, right? Gold is very expensive now, and I heard its price has gone up to record highs.
The puppet immortals fell to the ground one after another. Many of them didn’t even leave corpses behind. Often sporting an overbearing attack style, Athena would cause the puppet’s body to explode directly, leaving behind only the Law Stone in its place.Thus, more and more Law Stones started to accumulate on the ground.Countless puppet immortals had already flooded into Sunset Shrine.Inside the temple, sights of battle, as well as flesh and blood, could be seen everywhere.***“My Lord!“What on earth is inside this shrine?!”Outside Sunset Shrine, in a random tunnel, Donovan Orlando and his remaining men were hiding quietly. Densely packed, almost like a swarm of ants, there were simply far too many puppet immortals in front of the shrine.They couldn’t really see what was happening inside.Donovan had lost his four shattered Chaos Beads, so of course, he refused to retreat just like that. That would just be too big of a loss for him. They hid and adjusted and tended to
