Leo replied respectfully, “Father, you should issue a Chief God’s Order to prohibit the gods from using the Underground Bounty Society to fight. We must maintain the balance between the 12 gods so that Mount Olympus and the Sainsbury family can continue our legacy forever! Only then, the sacred city can belong to the Sainsbury family forever.” After hearing this, Zeus looked grave and said quietly, “They didn’t violate the Chief God’s Order I issued earlier. If I forcefully issue another Chief God’s Order and interfere with their actions, it will cause resentment from the other gods.” Leo said, “Father, you’re Zeus, the chief god of the 12 gods. How could the other gods dare to defy your Chief God’s Order?” Zeus shook his head and said, “Leo, you’re wrong. The gods are independent. Although I’m the chief god of the 12 gods, I have no right to interfere with their actions and choices. What we can govern are Mount Olympus and the sacred city. As for the outside world and the jurisd
When Vataco heard the news, a sinister sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said, “Great! With Lord Leo helping us secretly, let’s see what else Apollo can do!” Immediately after, Vataco stood up from the blue pool of the essence of life and walked up the steps. The maid behind him quickly stepped forward and draped his coat over him. Vataco sat on his black throne inlaid with gems and diamonds. Behind it was a window with an image of Jesus on a cross on it! The remaining four great envoys and six dark angels of the Hall of Evil stood below the throne on either side. The losses were heavy! With a gloomy expression on his face, Vataco looked at the envoys and dark angels who had been in a miserable state in the past few days. He said, “Next, it's a great time for us to counter-attack! Issue my Evil God’s Order for all personnel in each base to prepare for the counter-attack! This time, I want the Hall of the Sun to disappear from the Western underworld!” Although t
Amos Sainsbury, the second son of Chief God Zeus! He was also one of the candidates for the next chief god and master of the sacred city. However, relatively speaking, Amos' power and influence were not as great as Leo’s because he had never been competitive and only occasionally appeared in front of the public. Thus, there were not many rumors about Amos in the outside world. No one even thought that Amos would become the new chief god and master of the sacred city. At this moment, for Amos to appear in the meeting room of the Underground Bounty Society was enough to shock Leo. Leo laughed, his cold eyes staring at Amos as he said, “Very good! Amos, do you intend to side with the Underground Bounty Society and oppose me?” Amos laughed and said mildly, “Leo, you can't say that. I don't mean to oppose you, but the Underground Bounty Society has its rules. If they change the rules because of a word from you, does it mean that the Underground Bounty Society belongs to you?”
After Apollo of the Hall of the Sun issued the invitations, the remaining ten sacred halls reacted in different ways. Among them, three sacred halls explicitly rejected Apollo's invitation. Of course, Chief God Zeus declined. Inside his golden palace, he looked at the invitation handed over by his subordinates and said with a smile, “Good for Apollo. He’s really bold enough to invite me.” “Lord Zeus, how should we reply?” Zeus’ bodyguard asked respectfully. Zeus thought for a while and said, “Reject it. As long as the fight between them doesn’t trigger an event of the gods, I won’t interfere. The 12 Gods of the West have been dormant for too long. It’s time to get active.” “Yes, Lord Zeus,” the bodyguard responded and made arrangements immediately. Not long after the guard left, a tall blonde woman appeared wearing a low-cut golden princess dress. She looked very hot and sexy. With hurried steps, she barged right in with a group of eight female bodyguards behind her.
Following Fennel’s words, all the gods on the screens fell silent. Athena's expression quickly became cautious as she asked, “Apollo, do you really want to take action against the Hall of Evil? He’s one of the 12 Gods, after all. If you really fight it out with him, you’ll suffer huge losses too.” Fennel grinned and said, “Athena, you should trust me.” Hearing this, Athena’s eyes lit up before she said with a smile, “You lovely man! Okay, I agree to help you, but you must have dinner with me first.” Fennel thought for a while, touched his chin with his right hand, and said, “Okay, deal!” Ares, with his chin still propped on his hand, said with eager fighting intent in his eyes, “After everything is over, I want another match with you. In addition, I want the two bases of the Hall of Evil in Dunham and Goldford.” Fennel thought about it and nodded. “Okay.” In a flash, two gods had made their stand. Among the three remaining gods, Hephaestus smiled lightly and said, “I’m ok
Vataco had been betrayed! He was all alone now! “Issue my Evil God’s Order. Gather all forces of the Hall of Evil and get ready to defend with our lives!” Vataco roared. “Yes.” This time, all the envoys and dark angels knew that the Hall of Evil would be putting their lives out on the line for this fight! Under the joint attack of the six gods and bounty hunters, the bases of the Hall of Evil all over the Western world began to fall one after another. All the bases went up in flames with casualties all around! Although the six gods joined forces, no gods actually participated in the battles. Hence, no one violated the prohibition of the Chief God’s Order! Moreover, under the cover of the bounty hunters, it was impossible to tell from their appearance whether they came from the sacred halls or the Underground Bounty Society. Under such combined destructive force, the Hall of Evil suffered from continuous defeat and finally retreated to the main base camp! Two days l
Nine huge ferocious red-black snakes hissed and roared terrifyingly. They soared into the sky and pounced on the six gods! Their huge jaws dripped with stinking mucus! One snake bared its fangs and wanted to swallow Fennel in one bite! The corners of Fennel's eyes were cold and stern as he stared at the snake. He raised his hand, and a red dragon halberd suddenly stabbed at the snake’s huge jaw! Poof! Blood sprayed like a waterfall! Hiss! Roar! The red halberd went straight through the mouth of the huge snake, bringing out blood and scales with it. The snake roared in pain and quickly retreated. At the same time, the other eight snakes wrapped their tails around the Evil God Spear in Vataco’s hand. Their bodies suddenly enlarged dozens of meters long with the aura of raging beasts. They pounced on the six gods opposite! In an instant, a dazzling battle broke out in the Hall of Evil! The six gods spared no effort to slay the nine huge red and black snakes! Roar
Zeus' eyes shone brightly as he stared at the young man walking in from the door. Philip Clarke? “So, you’re the Eastern man causing all the disturbances recently, the young patriarch of the Clarke family and the son of Roger Clarke.” Zeus’ aura instantly became very cold. When he looked at Philip, he vaguely saw the shadow of Roger Clarke in him. His son was just as rude and arrogant as him. This was the sacred city, his golden palace. However, this youngster just barged in like that! Were the guards outside just for decoration? Thud, thud, thud! Suddenly, rapid sounds of footsteps were heard outside the golden palace. Dozens of guards in golden armor with golden spears in their hands surrounded the palace's main entrance. It seemed as if they had just noticed the intruder. Leo's face was full of chills as he stared at the strange Eastern man who suddenly appeared. He shouted, “Damn it! You insolent guy, why aren’t you kneeling and saluting when you see my father,
The other party simply looked at Loony indifferently without responding. Suddenly, Philip’s ear wiggled. He heard something. “Eat this. Someone's coming.” Philip stuffed a pill into Loony's mouth and pulled him into a corner to hide. He heard someone coming from the depths of the cellar. The man who spoke to them heard the movement and shut his mouth. The other prisoners remained silent as well. At this time, a familiar person appeared in front of Philip. It was none other than Brett. This Brett was different from the Brett Philip knew. This one looked sinister and cunning. Philip recalled the Brett he met yesterday. He was elegant and seemed like a trustworthy man at a glance. He was shocked to see this difference in just one day. “I’m ready to create my second human puppet. Does anyone want to volunteer your body?” Brett said with a vicious smile. In everyone’s eyes, he looked no different from the devil. “I have a special preference for humans. In that case, I’ll
“That must be it. Let’s take a look.” Philip pointed to the entrance of the cellar, and Loony shook his head in fear. “I have some knowledge of geomancy, and my gut is telling me that we should avoid that place. We may easily lose our lives there.” The cellar entrance looked very scary, so he refused to step inside. Philip could not be bothered. They were very close to finding the truth. They might miss the opportunity forever if they gave up right now. Hence, Philip dragged Loony into the cellar. Before Loony knew what was going on, he felt his vision go black, and he appeared in the cellar in the next second. He shook his head at Philip’s manhandling, shocked that Philip refused to listen to him. “It’ll be a disaster if we rush in recklessly.” Loony glanced at Philip helplessly. Although disappointed about Philip's distrust in him, it was useless to say anymore now that they were in the cellar. They should figure out how to leave. “With the gusts of cold wind, this
“Let’s go right now. I can’t wait to figure out the situation.” Loony forgot all about breakfast and pulled Philip out of the room. He shuddered when he walked past Hercules. He was afraid of this puppet from the bottom of his heart. Philip simply moved along without a word. He was afraid that Loony would let the cat out of the bag. Philip felt that Loony had exposed them because of his fear. “Philip, where are you going? Can you take me with you?” Aslan said in fear. He trembled all over at the thought of Hercules’ spooky gaze. He just wanted to follow Philip and leave this scary place. “Just stay here for now. If anything happens later, I'll inform you to take care of it.” It was the best time to leave them alone together. Philip would never take Aslan with him. Aslan was in despair to hear that he had to stay behind. As Philip marched away, Aslan gritted his teeth and went into Lyle's room as if he wanted to chat with him, but he was actually seeking refuge. Herc
Aslan felt that he was going nuts. He never thought he would meet someone so scary. That guy was torturing him mentally. “Your eyebags are really heavy,” Philip suddenly commented. Aslan was certainly scared out of his wits. Something was definitely up with that human puppet, but Philip did not intend to tell Aslan the truth yet. “I’ve decided not to sleep. Let’s see what that guy is up to!” Practitioners could go without sleeping for a long time but as humans, they had the habit of resting at fixed times. Philip shook his head at Aslan’s reaction. He could tell that Aslan would suffer immensely, but he had to sacrifice this poor guy to get to the bottom of this. “I’m off.” Aslan tossed the quilt to one side and walked out. The moment he opened the door, Philip heard him gasp. He looked out of the door curiously and saw Hercules standing outside, staring at Aslan oddly. “Dude, what’s your problem? Will you die if you don't peek at others?” Aslan said in annoyance. He
Aslan saw Hercules' face in the window. He was very angry and was about to curse when he realized that it was an illusion. Hercules was not around, and his window was tightly shut. “What the heck is wrong with me? Are my eyes playing tricks on me because I peeked at beautiful women one time too many?” Aslan was worried that something was wrong with his eyes. “This is weird. Did that guy do something to me to make me keep seeing his nasty face all the time?” Aslan shook his head helplessly and turned his head away. Since he saw that face in the window, he would choose to avoid looking at it. When Aslan turned to his bed, he saw Hercules’ face next to his bed again. This was getting ridiculous. Aslan reached out and grabbed the image, but it was just another illusion. Aslan suffered such a great blow that he hugged his quilt and ran to Philip’s room in a panic. He swore that he had never felt so embarrassed all his life. Hercules’ weird appearance was so terrifying that Asl
Some people were so powerful that someone would turn them into puppets after they died and continue to use them, and the abilities they possessed before they died would be increased by several times. Although human puppets were powerful, they were difficult to produce and required the sacrifice of innocent people, so many people saw it as a twisted and forbidden technique. Every once in a while, human puppets had to kill some powerful practitioners to renew their skin or the skin would disintegrate until it became unusable. Although Philip had met Brett, it was just a brief contact. He was not clear about the Spade family. Philip believed that the human puppet must have been produced by the Spade family because the puppet needed practitioners to renew its skin on a long-term basis or the secret would be exposed in no time. A newly formed puppet had no thoughts of its own. It would gradually think like normal people as time passed, but the most important advantage of a human pup
“I’ve known Hercules a long time ago. He’s very powerful and a top fighter of the Spade family. I didn't expect them to assign him to us. I feel a little flattered now,” Loony said. Philip noticed his reaction. Now that he was rational, they could continue the conversation. “Did he look like this when you saw him back then?” Philip thought that Hercules' mechanical reaction was strange. No normal person should act like that. “He seemed stiffer before, just like a robot, and he almost couldn’t think for himself. “Anyway, he just has to execute the orders given to him by his master without thinking too much. I quite envy him sometimes. His master always speaks his mind without beating about the bush. If I can find such a master… “Bah, I’m an independent individual. Why should I follow a master?” As Loony described his earlier encounter with Hercules, Philip found a clue. “You're right. I finally know what's wrong.” Philip smacked his thigh. He felt that Hercules was too m
“To tell you the truth, we’ve always wanted to take action against the Swift family, but our identity makes it inconvenient for us. We've always hoped that an individual force could take action on our behalf. “The Swift family has other families to support them, but you don’t have to worry about them. We can take care of them. You just need to confront the main family.” Brett clapped his hands together, and a man walked in the door. The man was burly and looked like a strong fighter. “He’s a guard of the Spade family and a force to be reckoned with. To show you my support and gratitude, I’ll lend this guard to you for the time being. His name is Hercules, and he’s no different from the Hercules in our mythology. I gave him this name to make him stronger.” Philip smiled. Sure enough, only humans would appreciate such things. “Hercules, you’ll be their point of contact. You need to do your best to help them if they need help and hold nothing back.” Philip felt Hercules’ power
“We’ll be meeting a young heir of the Spade family. He holds the highest status in the family apart from the head of the family. “I’m sure we can solve the problem as long as we reach an agreement with him. I’m just afraid…” Philip was puzzled by Loony’s hesitation. “What are you worried about? Are you worried that the Spade family won't help you?” Philip was curious. He did not know the Spade family, so he could not predict their reaction. “I’m just afraid that they may be concerned about how this incident will impact them. Although the Spade family resented the Swift family, they've never taken action against them over the years, which proves their caution. Now that things have escalated, I’m not sure if the Spade family will agree to our proposition.” Philip nodded. It was certainly worth consideration, but they could only find out after a talk with them. Philip was not worried about it. If they were willing to cooperate, both parties could form a strong alliance, but it
