Chapter 673: Countermeasures

Destiny's Dominion · 第六七三章 应对

In the Divine Mandate Divine Kingdom, the Moon Rabbit stood in the main control room of the Star Battleship, her gaze listlessly fixed on the space beyond the divine kingdom.

She had already received intelligence: several of their top-tier biological laboratories in Atlanta had been ransacked by an unknown enemy, all instruments destroyed, and the core computers obliterated.

Fortunately, their core R&D personnel had long been transferred to the Divine Mandate Divine Kingdom, and the remaining peripheral staff had also been evacuated in time.

Bismarck and Eliza Targaryen had made thorough preparations, with nearly flawless contingency plans to ensure the safety of all their researchers.

Naturally, the data stored in the core computers of the top biological laboratories, along with all storage devices, had been temporarily relocated. Moreover, His Majesty and Prometheus had intervened to seal the past and future there, making it impossible to trace or foresee.

Thus, apart from damage to buildings and equipment, their losses were minimal. Even the equipment—the most expensive and cutting-edge—had already been moved. What remained was what was due for replacement anyway.

But the situation ahead was somewhat dangerous. The Moon Rabbit sensed at least three auras at the level of major gods or higher spying on this place.

They were not after the divine kingdom itself, but the various research data transferred to the battleship 'Odro' for protection, as well as top scientists like Gu Hong.

"So, besides studying science, one must still achieve something in magic."

This was from the Magus Rafat de Robespierre: "If they all had sufficient self-defense capabilities, why would it be so troublesome?"

"Self-defense capabilities? Strong enough to rival major gods?"

Jennifer Robespierre glared at her husband: "Darling, I'd like to know what achievements you've made these past few years besides magic and divine authority? I think in this world, only my brother and that freak Anthony can manage both."

This remark directly choked the 'World Destroyer,' and then Jennifer, with a grave expression, focused on the astrolabe at the center of the meeting room: "According to the latest intelligence from Heydrich, Nyx is likely just outside the divine kingdom. And we also need to be wary of Loki and Hermes."

Loki is the god of fire and deceit in the Aesir; Hermes, besides being the herald of the Olympian pantheon, is also the god of travel, commerce, roads, and theft.

Loki has ties with Fenrir's three siblings, so he might not be serious, but we cannot let our guard down. As for Hermes, his divine speed and thieving abilities are terrifying; he also possesses powerful divine authorities over 'roads' and 'passage,' allowing him to open paths anywhere and travel in any environment.

In terms of infiltration and escape, this is a capability no less than that of Freedom, and perhaps even greater.

"Hermes? Isn't he on Granden Island?"

"That wasn't him. Lord Prometheus has seen through it: that was not Hermes, but the Titan god Crius."

"The Titan god Crius?"

Robespierre's expression was both solemn and relieved: "Has he also returned from the outer realms? Among all pantheons, the Greek pantheon is the most unfathomable."

The Titan god Crius is a first-generation Titan, husband of the sea goddess Eurybia, and grandfather of the goddess of victory, Nike.

The Titan god governs all 'stars' and can simulate most divine authorities and spells. It is like the 'Dual Element Profound Transformation Method' their lord practiced in his mortal days, which could simulate almost all meditation methods and Eastern cultivation techniques.

"The unfathomable also includes the Lord of Radiance."

Jennifer smiled bitterly: "Among his hundreds of popes and over two hundred saints, there are dozens qualified to be major gods."

"But none of them can compare to the Titan god Crius."

Robespierre looked at the Moon Rabbit in the main seat and then at Conshuri beside her: "The situation is very perilous now. It seems our task this time is arduous."

After the Divine Mandate Magic Tower left, the battleship 'Odro' became the core of the divine kingdom's magic tower defense array. The main control hub of this divine kingdom array was currently managed by the留守 central committee composed of him and Jennifer, Conshuri, Paracelsus, the Moon Rabbit, Angela, Eliza, and others. These were essentially their lord's close associates, the people most trusted by Li Mochen.

But Robespierre felt the current situation was beyond their capabilities.

In terms of combat power alone, they were not afraid of the enemy within the Divine Mandate Divine Kingdom. Even against the night goddess Nyx, they had ways to deal with her.

However, the enemy's goal was to steal their biochemical technology or sabotage their biochemical R&D capabilities, which was hard to guard against.

"If it really comes to it, I will accept the divine power infusion."

Conshuri's expression was cold: "They won't have a chance."

This was a contingency left by Li Mochen, capable of temporarily creating an Archangel at any moment.

But unless absolutely necessary, Li Mochen did not want them to take this path.

Mages generally dislike being controlled by others; they rely more on their own knowledge and power. Li Mochen also had great expectations for these relatives of his, always providing the best resources for their cultivation, even mobilizing the power of the Fate Church to gather followers for them.

Of course, that was only one reason. Conshuri knew the main reason was that the master-servant relationship between an angel and a major god was more stringent and strict. Andrei probably thought such a strict hierarchical relationship would harm family bonds.

"Let me do it."

Jennifer interjected: "Grandfather, I think I am more suitable than you."

At this point, Conshuri's electromagnetic, silence, and ice authorities, along with the corresponding magic, had reached an extremely powerful level.

In Jennifer's view, Conshuri would eventually reach the realm beyond major gods, and it would be a pity to give that up.

As for her, although she had always used the World Serpent Jörmungandr as a reference for divine authority and magic, her progress in magic had been mediocre, while her physical cultivation had made considerable strides.

It must be noted that, according to the latest theory from her brother, the Lord of Fate, divine authority and magic still have some differences.

The former involves merging with nature and the world, guiding natural forces and the web of laws by leveraging circumstances; magic, on the other hand, is about change, more akin to 'creation-level' divine authority laws, though they are far from reaching that level, only grasping and using a few superficial aspects—very few indeed.

However, the prospects of this path are equally broad, and it can also lead to the source.

But Jennifer's talent in magic was indeed quite average.

"Do you have a divine authority that matches an Archangel?"

Conshuri retorted, then said calmly: "This is a good thing that others would beg for; don't make it sound like a sacrifice. Given Andrei's current situation, the path of an angel is not bad at all."

Otherwise, Prometheus would not have chosen to become Li Mochen's angel.

If he had a choice, Conshuri naturally would not want to do this, not for any other reason, but because of family bonds.

But Conshuri was even more unwilling to betray Li Mochen's trust or allow the Divine Mandate Pantheon to suffer such a major setback.

"Indeed!"

The 'First Source' Paracelsus interjected rarely: "If Lord Conshuri finds it difficult, it would be acceptable to give this opportunity to me."

These words made the others glance at him in surprise, but then they calmed down without any particular emotion.

Paracelsus was also qualified to become an Archangel. Before becoming Li Mochen's magical advisor, he was already very powerful, mastering nine forbidden spells, on par with Einstein, and possessing two high-level divine authorities.

After being successfully resurrected, Paracelsus, as a living person, had made considerable progress in magic—evident from the fact that his magic tower had been expanded to twenty-eight floors.

Moreover, after Li Mochen opened the Wish Spell, almost all the gods in the Divine Mandate Pantheon had experienced varying degrees of growth in power. Paracelsus, as one of the most outstanding magi, must have also seen significant improvement.

Thus, as an Archangel, Paracelsus was far more suitable and qualified than Conshuri.

But before this, he had not shown such willingness.

However, thinking of Prometheus, the 'Angel of Prophecy,' everyone understood. With such a precedent, it would not be surprising if anyone else chose to become Li Mochen's angel.

Moreover, the subordinate relationship between Paracelsus and Li Mochen was already stronger than that of a subordinate god; becoming Li Mochen's angel seemed not a big deal.

The Moon Rabbit did not deliberately listen to their conversation, but her extended spiritual sense fully fed the content of their discussion into her mind.

She couldn't help but smile: "Lord Conshuri, the situation is not as serious as you think. His Majesty has made proper arrangements; all you need to do is ensure the magic tower array of the divine kingdom functions properly."

"Is that so?"

Conshuri did not doubt the truth of the Moon Rabbit's words: "That reassures me, Lady Christine."

Although he did not know how Andrei would respond, he knew that Andrei had never let him down.

Just then, the Moon Rabbit suddenly flickered and left the main control room. She arrived at a certain location inside the 'Odro,' and from her sleeve, a tide of swords flew out, slashing toward the vast darkness and void ahead.

Instantly, a chaotic and immense surge of spiritual energy exploded, filling the entire corridor nearby with fierce qi and shockwaves. However, they did not spread far before being neutralized and absorbed by the magic tower array within the divine kingdom.

"Are you the so-called Earth Angel Christine?"

A slightly surprised voice came from the darkness, and then the surrounding darkness and shadows surged like a tide toward the Moon Rabbit.

But the flying swords controlled by the Moon Rabbit were even more decisive. They churned like a blender, instantly tearing apart the darkness before her and then devouring it!

After absorbing the blood of that star beast, the Moon Rabbit's greatest gain was obtaining the pseudo-truth-level 'Jump,' as well as ultimate 'Tear' and 'Absorb.' Li Mochen's Wish Spell allowed her to further advance in 'Tear,' granting her a third pseudo-truth divine authority besides 'Earth' and 'Jump,' and boosting her sword control technique by several levels.

After all, the Moon Rabbit was once Li Mochen's spiritual pet; the wish ability she received was without any reduction. Li Mochen even continued his previous merit support, allowing her progress in the Dao to advance by leaps and bounds.

Nyx had not anticipated that the darkness she infiltrated into the Divine Mandate Divine Kingdom would not only be completely torn apart in an instant but that the surging sword tide would even counterattack beyond the divine kingdom, slicing through millions of miles of dark void.

Meanwhile, in another corridor of the battleship, a clay golem punched fiercely, dispersing a mass of gale force wind and revealing the figure of Zeus's herald, Hermes.

The latter grunted, swiftly shuttling through the 'path' he had newly opened, while reaching out to 'steal' the divine power core of the clay golem.

However, the golem did not paralyze; without even a millionth of a second's pause, it acquired another core.

It was originally a divine construct of the Moon Rabbit, a clay golem created with the pseudo-truth-level 'Earth' authority. The so-called core hub did not actually exist; it was merely a region where the Moon Rabbit's divine power was more concentrated, making it easier to control the golem, and could be reorganized at any time.

After the golem swapped cores, it punched backward, causing Hermes, who had transformed into wind, to grunt again. But what made his expression even uglier was that the cabin he had locked onto had been shifted to another time layer, temporarily out of his divine sense range.

At the same time, a more dangerous situation occurred: Hermes suddenly found himself unable to use his divine authority.

Without needing to think, Hermes knew it was Conshuri's divine authority 'Silence' and supreme technique 'Universal Cessation.' This grandfather of the Lord of Fate was described in intelligence as extremely troublesome.

This 'Silent King' was not very powerful, but within the divine kingdom of the Lord of Fate, he was very difficult to deal with, possessing the ability to counter almost all divine authorities.

Thus, upon finding himself unable to open a 'path,' Hermes unhesitatingly crushed a crystal in his hand. Using the power of this ancient divine talisman, he forcibly escaped from this divine kingdom space and returned to the outer void.

He had to flee; without the ability to use divine authority, within the divine kingdom of the Lord of Fate, he was no different from a target.

After retreating, Hermes frowned deeply, his gaze coldly fixed on the interior of the divine kingdom.

"Don't look anymore. That is another pseudo-god-king-level angel, the Earth Angel Christine—"

These words came from the void not far away. Hermes looked sideways and saw the night goddess Nyx standing nearby, with a bitter and helpless expression.

"So, Lady Goddess, have you also encountered setbacks?"

A glint flashed in Hermes's eyes: "Lady, why not consider my previous proposal? If we join forces, our chances are still great. If you are uneasy, we can establish a stellar contract and split the spoils equally after obtaining the people and goods."

But Nyx did not even glance at him. She looked at her hand with a complex expression.

On her palm was a small wound. A complex yet harmonious force lingered on it, which she could not dispel for the moment.

This was something called 'sword intent.' Nyx had encountered it in some Eastern worlds, but none of those Eastern cultivators were as powerful as Christine.

"Have you heard of fate and destiny, Hermes?"

Nyx withdrew her hand into her sleeve: "I think this Lord of Fate indeed possesses an immensely powerful fate; the will of this world is favoring him."

"He and his subordinates have grown very rapidly."

The frown on Hermes's brow deepened: "Achilles back then, and Fenrir's siblings, also had destiny."

"The difference is that his wings are now full; you can no longer suppress him."

Nyx shook her head with a smile: "Don't bother, Hermes. This Christine is stronger than you imagine. Within the Lord of Fate's divine kingdom, it's hard for us to bypass her."

Hermes disagreed but did not argue. He changed the subject: "Then where is Loki? And Druj?"

Druj is one of the six demons under Ahura's evil counterpart, Angra Mainyu, known as the Demon of Falsehood, controlling 'falsehood' and 'deception,' the only female among the six demons of Zoroastrianism.

"Both have been stopped. You can find out for yourself."

Nyx sighed again: "That Lord of Fate has arranged opponents for them. Don't forget, he is not only the Lord of Time and Fate but also has Prometheus, the prophet and god of prophecy, under his command."

That guy was already very clever, full of schemes and plots, and now he is even more troublesome.

※※※※

At this moment, Loki was actually not far from them. Standing in his way was 'Kartikeya'—the war god of India, the Dharma protector Skanda in Buddhism.

He had died twice at the hands of Odin, but his incarnations had returned from the outer realms, each time stronger than before.

"In your current state, you are no match for me, Kartikeya."

Loki's posture and expression were as leisurely and unrestrained as ever: "Why must you block me?"

"The Lord of Fate specifically asked me to. Besides, we are enemies anyway."

Kartikeya stood on a peacock, his aura fierce: "You have invaded our territory, stolen our faith, and you ask me why?"

"I guess the Lord of Fate must have promised you that he would help drive away the invaders?"

Loki had already grasped the situation completely, and then he voluntarily withdrew a hundred kilometers: "I understand now, so let's stop, OK? You should know my situation. Killing me now won't help you reclaim Sindhu, and besides, you can't kill me anyway. Why fight to the death?"

Kartikeya, however, looked suspicious: "The Lord of Fate says you're a swindler, and your children also say you must never be trusted. You're deceiving me."

Loki was very frustrated: "I only promised Odin to do my best, and I've done my best now, haven't I? In terms of combat power, we're evenly matched at the moment. I've fulfilled my obligation to Odin."

"It seems fine, but I still don't believe you."

Kartikeya, wielding his vajra, lunged again: "Anyway, I'll just beat you until you can't think of anything else."

With the swing of his heavy vajra, all matter within a hundred kilometers was crushed into particles, and Loki's body was likewise crushed into a ball of flame.

A cold, fierce glint flashed in Kartikeya's eyes: "You were indeed deceiving me, you damned swindler!"

Loki's body manifested in another direction, a bitter smile on his face. This time, he really hadn't intended to deceive this Kartikeya. He just wanted to buy some time to do another thing he had always wanted to do, but the other side gave him no chance at all.

Not far from there, the demon of falsehood, Druj, also had to halt midair. Before her stood a bare-chested man with a scar on his chest, resembling a Japanese samurai in appearance, with a sharp, cold aura.

Though she had never encountered him before, Druj guessed his identity. He was the son of Izanagi, Susano'o, who, along with the sun goddess Amaterasu and the night god Tsukuyomi, was known as one of the Three Noble Gods. He was the Japanese god of the sea and war.

Upon seeing this man, Druj knew she could achieve nothing. This Susano'o was stronger than her. Japan, with its two billion people, could easily support several main gods, even pseudo-god-kings.

This Susano'o had suffered a severe blow during the World War II era, but judging by the current situation, he seemed to have recovered.

Yet Druj still felt unwilling: "So the Japanese gods have also become lackeys of the Lord of Fate, haven't they?"

Susano'o glanced at her: "You should understand history. Japan is a protectorate of America. According to the treaty, the Japanese divine realm submits to the national patron god honored by the U.S. Federal Congress."

This was the result of the internal struggle between the Statue of Liberty and the Church of Light in America back then. The Church of Light would not allow the Statue of Liberty to monopolize the benefits from Japan, and the Statue of Liberty would not allow the Church of Light to encroach on her spoils. The final compromise was stipulated in the treaty.

However, this gave the Lord of Fate an opportunity. After both the Church of Light and the Church of Liberty were outlawed by the U.S. Federal Congress, the Lord of Fate was the only one who could use this treaty to command the Japanese gods.

But Druj knew this was all empty. The covenant placed very few restrictions on them. What truly drove Susano'o and the Japanese gods to act was only profit. Otherwise, before this, no one had seen him and his kin do anything for the Statue of Liberty.

Japan could not independently resist the Aesir and Olympus; they could only rely on the power of the Lord of Fate.

"Stop with the nonsense, Lord Druj."

Susano'o brandished the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, the same slaying power as Heracles condensed on the blade. Though slightly inferior, it was enough to alarm Druj.

"I don't want to fight you, but if you insist, then I will have no choice but to fight you with all my might."

He was different from Kartikeya. That Sindhu war god was reckless and brave, able to carry out the Lord of Fate's commission without reservation. But for Susano'o, if this could be resolved peacefully, he did not want an actual conflict with the Zoroastrian pantheon.

※※※※

Meanwhile, the coalition fleet under Li Mochen's command had begun to evacuate from Grandland Island.

Delphinia moved quickly. In less than seven minutes, she banished the seventy thousand marines who had already landed, along with the thirty thousand soldiers hidden on the seabed, to the Third Hell—the territory of the Demon of Sloth. This demon lord was not only the 'safest' of the seven great demon lords of Hell but also Lucifer's main supporter.

Additionally, they had seven divisions of marines standing by on the large amphibious landing ships and converted cargo vessels. Originally intended as the second wave of attack, these elite troops were also banished by Delphinia. This minimized their pressure, allowing the coalition fleet and the gods to focus more on battle and evacuation.

After shedding these burdens, the coalition's great fleet and magic towers all activated and began sailing north in unison.

At this moment, the gods of the various pantheons became exceptionally frenzied. Everyone fought with all their might, trying to keep their opponents or disrupt their fleet formation.

Even the four god-kings were no exception. All erupted with at least thirty percent more combat power than before. Odin, for instance, even with Lucifer diverting some of his power to restrain him, still managed to pierce Li Mochen seven times in a very short time with his replicated Gungnir.

The great suns incarnated by the Lord of Light and Ahura also blazed with intense light, emitting billions of degrees of heat, nearly evaporating all the seawater in this area.

Their spears and solar wheels were exceptionally sharp and terrifying, tearing countless wounds on Li Mochen's body.

They almost prevented Li Mochen from smoothly recovering his breath, pushing him to the brink of exhaustion.

Zeus, the Thunder Lord, was even more frenzied. He seemed utterly unconcerned about expenditure, unleashing massive, terrifying thunder serpents that coiled across tens of thousands of kilometers—something only a powerful god-king like him could achieve within the inner layer of the Light World under the magic net's restrictions.

But by then, Zeus's main opponents had shifted to the 'Divine Power Angel' Heracles, the 'Wrath Angel' Menoetius, and the 'Guardian Angel' Achilles. The three joined forces to withstand most of Zeus's thunder and fire, while Lucifer took a secondary role, mainly responsible for containment.

After this, Heracles's abilities truly came to the fore. He possessed astonishing defensive and regenerative powers: ultimate 'Eternity,' ultimate 'Life,' pseudo-truth-level 'Strength,' pseudo-truth-level 'Defense,' and pseudo-truth-level 'Fortitude,' allowing him to barely keep up even in a direct confrontation with Zeus.

He alone bore at least forty percent of Zeus's divine power.

The 'Wrath Angel' Menoetius had expanded his body to over ten thousand meters. Wielding a wolf-tooth club, under the cover of Heracles and Achilles, he madly smashed at Zeus.

The angrier he became, the stronger his power. And toward Zeus, Menoetius never lacked anger. He had once fallen victim to Zeus's schemes, been struck by Zeus's thunderbolts nearly to death, and then imprisoned for several thousand years. His heart was full of resentment toward Zeus.

The gods' frenzy only came to an abrupt halt, returning to a normal state, after Li Mochen's 'Divine Will' rifle fired a second time, severely wounding the Zoroastrian angel 'Angel of Procreation' Vahman.

Earlier, this 'Angel of Procreation' had nearly killed Feld using the numerous mythical creatures under his control, but Li Mochen's sniper shot had struck his body before that.

If Ahura had not arrived in time to forcibly contain the already exploding bullet, Vahman would have died under Li Mochen's gun.

Only then did the gods realize that the Lord of Fate still had some reserve power. The sniper rifle in his hand could take their lives at any moment.

Afterward, the gods under Fate felt greatly relieved. Their opponents, as if by tacit agreement, again pulled back their strength.

The precedents of the 'Angel of Procreation' Vahman and the 'War God' Ares forced them to hold something back.

This stalemate continued until their fleet withdrew to Hawaii Island. The Fate pantheon had built two permanent fortresses here, providing maximum support.

But Odin and the Aesir gods all turned pale. After entering the waters of Hawaii Island, the situation had reversed.

Here, the American military had the protection of fortresses and stable magic tower arrays, while the three million troops the Beast Empire had sent to the island could only rely on temporary shelters they had built to withstand the natural disasters and shockwaves caused by the battle of dozens of main gods.

They lacked both the thorough preparations the Fate pantheon had made before landing on Grandland Island and any decent protective equipment. Their lives were utterly unprotected, and the closer the battlefield got to Hawaii Island, the more horrific the casualties among these soldiers.

In the end, Odin had to use Ahura's power to envelop all the millions of Beast Empire warriors, thus saving them from death.

But as a result, the Beast Empire's offensive against Hawaii Island completely collapsed. The nail driven into the central Pacific was easily pulled out by the other side. Then Ahura could no longer maintain the previous pressure in his battle with Li Mochen.

He dared not absorb or contain anymore, otherwise, what Li Mochen threw in could easily kill all those two million plus warriors. Li Mochen also saved a great deal of divine power, becoming more adept at fighting the two Lords of Light. His sniper rifle 'Divine Will' also gained greater deterrent power, unsettling all the gods fighting there.

This divine war ended after nearly a day. Another of Ahura's angels, the 'Angel of Metal' Shahriyar, after prolonged attrition, had his divine core severely wounded by a shot from Li Mochen.

This made the Zoroastrian gods unbearable. They were the first to withdraw from the Hawaii waters. Then the gods of the Aesir and Olympian pantheons also scattered and left, vanishing in an instant.

The many angels of the Church of Light were no exception. Only the Lord of Light remained on the battlefield, his gaze coldly sweeping over Hawaii Island and the Fate gods. Then he fixed his eyes on Li Mochen, meeting his gaze.

"You won this time."

The Lord of Light's voice was full of majesty, like divine will, echoing across the ten-thousand-mile sea, making all living beings feel a urge to prostrate themselves.

"But this is only the beginning, Andrew Lee Wiltonstein!"

"Indeed, it's only the beginning, but Your Majesty Horus, I am not you."

Li Mochen knew what he meant. Previously, the Lord of Light and Gaia had been the targets of everyone's hostility. In the end, they couldn't withstand the combined attacks of the major pantheons and gradually showed signs of decline.

But now, after this war, the Fate pantheon was the strongest among all pantheons and would face opposition from all pantheons and gods.

"Then be prepared for the next war. It won't be long, Your Majesty the Lord of Fate."

The Lord of Light's figure dissipated as his words fell, vanishing in an instant, disappearing from everyone's divine sense.

Li Mochen's main body still hovered in the air, looking thoughtfully at the sea ahead.

"You were quite lucky this time. They all hid considerable strength."

Lucifer flashed to his side: "Look at my hand. That Zeus guy was indeed anxious just now and revealed a bit of his foundation."

Li Mochen looked at Lucifer's arm and saw a wound there.

Within the wound, besides the power of thunder and fire, there was also the power of 'time' and 'space,' both very strong. Lucifer's divine power could not eliminate them, only contend with them.

Li Mochen casually wiped his hand, forcibly expelling Zeus's power from Lucifer's arm, then his expression shifted: "Pseudo-truth level!"

And both time and space, these upper-level powers, had reached pseudo-truth level.

"I guessed as much."

Lucifer's face was grave: "I suspect he devoured Cronus and Uranus. That's really bad news. Zeus's 'Fusion' might have been elevated to truth level."

The power cores of these two Greek god-kings were precisely space and time.

As for 'Fusion,' that was also one of Zeus's core powers. The Thunder Lord possessed more than just thunder and fire.

In fact, devouring and fusion should be one of the bloodline abilities of the Greek Titan gods.

"So his true strength should be several times what he showed now. If he goes all out, I might not be his match."

Li Mochen was not without backup plans. The seven hundred million merits on the 'Divine Fortune Purple Gold Pagoda' and the Star Beast power and three truth-level abilities of the 'Crimson Dragon Armor' were his trump cards.

But 'Absorption,' 'Jump,' and 'Tear' were far inferior in quality to 'Thunder,' 'Fire,' 'Time,' and 'Space.' Moreover, the 'Crimson Dragon Armor' could only be used for ten minutes, and the merits on the 'Divine Fortune Purple Gold Pagoda' were only suitable for short bursts.

"Heydrich, find a way to make Hera suspicious. Zeus clearly had the ability to save Ares but chose to stand by."

After instructing his god of intelligence, Li Mochen smiled to reassure his ally: "Don't worry too much, Lord Lucifer. I have ways to deal with it."

"Of course I trust you. Besides, we're in the same boat now, aren't we?"

Lucifer sighed softly: "But until I'm sure you have enough capability, it's unrealistic for me to be completely at ease."

"Understood! Please wait ten days, my lord. In ten days, I'll give you an answer."

Then Li Mochen looked at Heracles: "My Divine Power Angel, today you have given me a resounding victory!"
