Chapter 692: First Move
Destiny's Dominion · 第六九二章 先手
“Strange, not only did Horus refrain from acting, but even Isis chose to stand by.”
As the ‘Gungnir Holy Spear’ plunged into Chaos’s body, Prometheus fell into deep thought: “Has this Radiant Lord regained control? Or has something else happened?”
He thought that in the past, although the Radiant Lord was constrained by his divinity and could not act, Isis would never have stood idly by.
Ishtar, on the other hand, focused solely on the clash between Li Mochen and Chaos. Li Mochen’s strike had been long in preparation and also gathered the power of over a dozen Divine Kings, Vice-Divine Kings, and Pseudo-Divine Kings from this place.
Though continuously weakened by the interceptions of Zeus and others, the spear’s power remained vast and boundless, capable of easily killing most Divine Kings in the Bright World, including Lucifer himself.
Ishtar believed that even Gaia and the Radiant Lord, if facing it alone, would surely die.
What shocked Ishtar was that after being struck by the ‘Gungnir Holy Spear,’ the chaos and darkness of Chaos’s bodily incarnation remained condensed and unyielding, showing no signs of dispersing.
Though thunder and flame occasionally burst within Chaos’s body, and though the temporal and annihilation forces Li Mochen infused into the spear continuously destroyed the body of this primordial god,
Chaos remained like a bottomless black hole, enveloping the ‘Gungnir Holy Spear.’ He was steadily eroding and absorbing the power of the Eternal Spear.
“Truly unparalleled in might!”
At this moment, Athena’s gaze was extremely solemn: “When I was born, Chaos and his pantheon no longer existed. I only heard of his power from the elders of the Titan race. They dared not offend him even though he was asleep for some reason. But I thought that after so many years of slumber, his strength could not possibly surpass Gaia and the Radiant Lord.”
Yet in truth, this ‘Chaos’ god was far mightier than Gaia.
Before this, Athena would have felt pessimistic and, based on her divinity as the Goddess of Wisdom, instinctively thought of how to change the situation.
But now, she was deeply convinced that the Lord of Destiny’s spear could not fail.
Li Mochen also regarded it calmly. Unlike the gods of destiny around him who could only see the surface, Li Mochen, sensing the internal situation through the ‘Gungnir Holy Spear,’ clearly perceived that the battle was tilting in his favor.
Though Chaos’s divine power was extremely strong, ranking among the top two Divine Kings in the Bright World and matching Li Mochen at full strength, Li Mochen had struck first. The dozen or so truth powers carried by the Eternal Spear were not so easily dissolved.
At the very least, there was the ‘Divine Fortune Purple Gold Pagoda,’ a truth artifact. An investment of ten billion merits could not fail to make a splash.
At that moment, the gods accompanying Chaos also began to awaken one after another. The first to wake was the Night Goddess Nyx.
Perhaps infused with the power of Slaanesh, Nyx’s appearance was now incredibly seductive. She looked at Li Mochen and let out a cold, bone-deep hiss:
“André Li Wieldenstein, you bastard!”
As the Night Goddess awoke, she raised a hand, using vast darkness to receive the ‘Dutian Thunder Fire Star Core Sword Qi’ falling like rain from the sky.
Though Nyx’s injuries had somewhat recovered, they were far from Zeus’s level. The star sword lights still pierced through the darkness, striking Chaos’s body and causing continuous explosions outside the chaos.
Li Mochen infused his temporal annihilation power into the sword qi, continuously exerting pressure on Chaos.
Following Nyx was the Fate Goddess of Creation, ‘Hemera.’ Upon awakening, she first countered Li Mochen’s truth ‘Fate’ and used her creation power to reinforce Chaos’s body.
“Ultimate fate and pseudo-truth-level creation and destruction—I don’t understand if this is her own talent or the power of that Slaanesh Lord.”
Prometheus could not comprehend how ‘Hemera,’ after millennia of slumber, possessed such powerful divine authority and a divine rank as high as nineteen.
He acted immediately, burning Hemera’s entire body with his flames.
Loki’s chosen opponent was the third to awaken, ‘Adrasteia,’ the primordial goddess of natural law. She controlled nature, law, and order—all immensely powerful divine authorities.
This woman was the divine consort of the Divine King Phanes. Though only divine rank nineteen, her strength was comparable to a Divine King.
Loki could contend with her; his flames could destroy nature, and his illusions and deceptions could deceive law and order.
Yet less than 0.1 seconds into their clash, Loki’s eyes showed gravity. If not for suppressing this ‘Adrasteia’ goddess in divine rank and authority, he might not have held the advantage.
As these primordial gods awakened one by one and engaged the gods of the Destiny Pantheon in fierce battle, the dark chaos incarnated by Chaos suddenly erupted with a deafening explosion, shattering completely.
The ‘Gungnir Holy Spear’ had finally shattered him. Though the massive energy and over a dozen truth divine authorities condensed in the spear were at their last gasp, upon striking Chaos’s core divine soul, they still crushed his soul with irresistible force.
But at the final moment, as Chaos’s soul fragments burned and annihilated, a black mist appeared, projecting the figure of a succubus-like female onto the battlefield. With a flick of her finger, she dispelled the last remnants of the ‘Gungnir Holy Spear,’ causing Li Mochen’s strike to ultimately fall short.
“Slaanesh!”
Li Mochen’s eyes narrowed, then he let out a wry laugh: “It seems this toy is very important to you.”
At this moment, Li Mochen would have preferred to press the advantage and pursue the defeated enemy rather than converse with the Slaanesh Lord.
But unfortunately, he was now unable to move. In Li Mochen’s eyes, this androgynous Chaos Demon God had transformed into Angela, leaning against him, exerting intense charm and seduction.
“Knowing he’s my toy, you still show no mercy. You’re so heartless—”
‘Angela’s’ breath was sweet and enchanting, her voice the finest quality in the world, stirring his heartstrings.
More troublesome was the wave of unparalleled pleasure assaulting his spiritual mind.
Though Li Mochen clearly knew this was a fake, that everything he saw was an illusion, and the pleasure was merely the effect of her divine authority, he still had to concentrate fully to prevent his divinity from being shaken.
Of course, being slightly shaken was fine; he could adjust afterward. After all, he was a Divine King of divine rank nineteen with an extremely powerful divine soul. A brief contact like this could not pollute him.
But this Slaanesh’s power was too shameful, making Li Mochen feel as if he would burst from the pleasure.
Ejaculation was not shameful, but having it happen in public was.
Li Mochen valued practical gains far more than face. But he would rather give up being a Divine King and let ‘Chaos’ escape than endure this.
As if sensing Li Mochen’s anger, Slaanesh chuckled softly: “Let him go, okay? He hasn’t provoked you. I promise he won’t retaliate.”
“No!”
Li Mochen’s eyes were wide, flashing with killing intent and cold light: “I don’t like your toy, and I don’t want any contact with you.”
He thought that after this battle, he would have to spend time strengthening his mental divine authorities.
He had to admit he had underestimated the Slaanesh Lord. Her mastery of temptation, desire, and illusion was entirely different from Loki and Lod’s, and not on the same scale.
This was the power of a creation-level existence—even a mere thread of power from billions of miles away could cause him trouble.
Fortunately, Slaanesh’s power was waning, and the pleasure he felt was much less.
“No contact? But fate says otherwise. As the master of fate, you should be able to sense it, right? Cute little one, you make my heart flutter more and more. I look forward to our next meeting. You’re far more interesting than Chaos.”
Before Slaanesh’s words faded, Li Mochen’s figure had already left the spot.
At this moment, the gods under his command were not only in full battle with the Greek gods but also contending with several Divine Kings led by Gaia.
Loki had switched opponents, using fire and illusion to counter the Truth Lord Ahura. He had deceived the latter seven times in a row, causing his ‘Inclusion’ divine authority, akin to a sleeve universe, to miss.
The ‘Divine Power Angel’ Heracles stood on the eastern side of the battlefield, blocking the Primordial Mother Goddess Gaia outside the fray.
With the Power Belt, Heracles finally showed the world the terror of the ‘Power’ divine authority.
Ultimate power could shatter and destroy everything. It was the most fundamental component of the world, thus possessing infinite potential, capable of contending with any divine authority, and it had no true limit.
Heracles’s power continuously rose during battle. Any of Gaia’s divine authorities or methods, Heracles could cut through with a single sword stroke.
Using proper application of force and the truth ‘Slay,’ he could break through truths like ‘Origin,’ ‘Earth,’ ‘Nature,’ and ‘Elements,’ no matter how profound or奇妙.
Though the ‘Divine Power Angel’s’ consumption was immense, he firmly blocked Gaia four thousand kilometers from the battlefield.
Li Mochen glanced over and knew Heracles could resist Gaia for at least three minutes. Though still a Vice-Divine King, his current strength far surpassed Athena and Fenrir, worthy of the title ‘Right Hand of God.’
Facing Zeus was the Supreme Dragon God ‘Aion.’ Even wounded, Zeus’s overall strength still surpassed Aion’s, but a brief entanglement was no problem.
Aion also had many helpers; many of the Destiny Pantheon gods on the battlefield held back some strength.
Ishtar’s battle with Rhea was easy—one hidden in the earth, the other in the sky, neither able to kill the other. But Ishtar, high in the night sky, could more easily divert attention to allies’ battles than Rhea.
The key was Li Mochen’s ‘Dutian Thunder Fire Star Core Sword Formation’ and ‘Star’ divine authority in the sky, making her ‘Venus’ even sharper and more formidable.
The Poison Dragon ‘Nidhogg,’ following Li Mochen’s will, pursued the severely wounded Chaos, biting madly. Its power was originally similar to Fenrir’s, but after becoming Li Mochen’s magical pet, it could also draw on some temporal and fate power.
This forced Chaos’s incarnation to flee wildly into the outer void, though at full strength, he could kill Nidhogg in three minutes.
The giant’s power could hardly harm him, but the truth ‘Poison’ posed a great threat to the weakened Chaos. Nidhogg also had the divine authority of Devouring, allowing it to bite off and swallow the chaos he incarnated.
Though Chaos seemed in dire straits, Li Mochen sensed that his injuries had recovered considerably.
That was likely due to Slaanesh’s help, and Chaos himself possessed a rapid recovery divine authority.
Moreover, his escape direction was toward Gaia’s ‘Pantheon.’ His speed was astonishing; the Poison Dragon Nidhogg had almost lost him.
Li Mochen calculated and knew the best chance to kill Chaos was lost. He looked helplessly at Chiron: “So, in the end, we failed?”
Chiron smiled bitterly, gathering his net-like sealing artifact.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. Chaos was far stronger than we imagined. Without your help, I couldn’t control him alone. But I didn’t come away empty-handed.”
Though knowing that when Li Mochen spoke, his main body had already left to fight, Chiron’s tone remained respectful. He pointed inside the ‘net,’ where a thick gray mist gathered.
“You wounded him severely, forcing him to cut off his tail to survive.”
“Excellent!”
At this moment, Li Mochen had already appeared behind the Fate Goddess of Creation, ‘Hemera.’ After a moment’s thought, he ultimately refrained from summoning another self from the river of time.
The key was that it was unnecessary; the best opportunity had passed. Slaanesh’s interference had cost Li Mochen the chance to use dual ‘Masters of Fate’ to kill Chaos.
Now, Chaos’s subordinates did not warrant his final trump card.
Indeed, despite Hemera’s desperate resistance, Li Mochen ultimately pierced her body with his spear, shattering her divine body, divine core, and divinity.
With the ‘Eternal Spear,’ Li Mochen could now crush all gods below the rank of Divine King!
But just as Li Mochen prepared to utterly destroy Hemera’s soul, the soul fragments turned into black mist, forming Slaanesh’s smiling face.
Li Mochen thought, as expected, the Greek primordial Divine King, the androgynous god Phanes, was indeed connected to the Slaanesh Lord, perhaps even a clone or incarnation of the latter. And Hemera was Phanes’s daughter.
Thus, many gods under the Arctic ice cap marked by Slaanesh would be difficult to kill completely.
But it didn’t matter. Li Mochen’s goal in killing them was to render them harmless for a time, and he had other gains.
He smiled back at the ‘Slaanesh Lord’ and forcibly seized a pair of earrings left by Hemera.
These were the most valuable items Hemera possessed, which could be named ‘Creation Fate Earrings.’ As a ‘pseudo-truth’ level artifact, they held ultimate ‘Fate’ and truth-level ‘Creation.’
They were the most suitable gift for his wife Angela. It was a pity they remained in the hands of these Greek primordial gods.
Watching from afar, Gaia stamped her foot, shattering a piece of land she had summoned from the seabed.
She knew that if this item fell into the hands of the ‘Goddess of the Underworld and Dreams,’ Angela, it would create a terrifying existence.
That bitch might manifest most of the ‘Lord of Fate.’
The next instant, Li Mochen’s ‘Eternal Spear’ blasted the ‘Goddess of Natural Order,’ Physis, into dust. Her mythical artifact, ‘Hand of Natural Order,’ was inferior to Hemera’s ‘Creation Fate Earrings,’ only at the ultimate level, but it held pseudo-truth-level ‘Order’ and pseudo-truth-level ‘Nature,’ along with many powerful divine authorities including ‘Destruction.’
His next target was the ‘Goddess of Natural Law,’ Adrasteia. This wife of Phanes, a powerful existence rivaling a Divine King, could not withstand ten seconds before Li Mochen.
Using time and fate, Li Mochen created endless chaos around Adrasteia, and when her order power briefly failed, he pierced her divine core with a single spear thrust.
This scene made Gaia and others’ scalps tingle, realizing that without a divine domain or divine kingdom, or the combined strength of four or more Divine Kings, they could no longer face this Lord of Fate head-on.
Especially Zeus, who could not suppress a feeling of relief. He thought that if not for the constraints of the Lord of Fate’s divinity, the Fate Church would have swept the Olympian faith out of the Bright World.
What Li Mochen obtained from Adrasteia was a stone tablet.
Legend has it that in ancient times, Adrasteia established all the laws of the universe and nature in the form of rules. Among all these laws, without exception, they uniformly included various limits—mythology undoubtedly exaggerates the facts.
But Adrasteia indeed wielded the power of mighty laws, compelling even the gods to follow her will without defiance.
And the source of Adrasteia's power was this mythical artifact called the 'Law Tablet,' born at the dawn of the world's creation, recording nearly seventy percent of the world's primordial laws.
The moment Li Mochen obtained this item, he felt his control over the world's roots further strengthen, directly leaping to seventy-two percent.
This caused many of the observing divine kings to change expression drastically and retreat one after another. They clearly could not stop Li Mochen from continuing to slaughter these Greek primordial gods. And if they waited until Li Mochen and the gods of Fate had their hands free, they might not even be able to withdraw intact from the prime material plane.
Li Mochen was overjoyed. He had not yet mastered the power of 'Law,' but as a divine king, he had some attainments in its subordinate divine authority, 'Justice.'
But that didn't matter; the 'Law Tablet' could still become the foundation of the Fate Pantheon in the future.
In the days to come, as long as it was placed at the most central location of the divine kingdom, then wherever Li Mochen's radiance could shine, the many laws recorded on this tablet could provide a certain boost to the divine authorities of the Fate gods and divine warriors.
Beyond that, it was also a tome recording the world's most profound principles, capable of pointing the way for the gods on their future paths. Its role was equivalent to the 'Creation Jade Disc' in Eastern mythology.
Obtaining this item could increase his chances of contending for the position of God of Gods by at least ten percent!
Adrasteia also possessed another mythical artifact—a small purple hammer called the 'Hammer of Judgment,' wielding the power of thunder and judgment. Among these, 'Judgment' was at the Truth rank.
It was with this item that Adrasteia first confronted Loki head-on, and later, facing the combined forces of the Wisdom Goddess Athena, the God of Truth and Justice Estandin, and the Doomsday Giant Surtr, she could still hold her ground.
Moreover, Adrasteia and her daughter Hemamene carried a large number of mythical materials, totaling over a thousand pieces, comparable to Li Mochen's harvest in the Asgard domain, but the quality was on an entirely different level.
Although the main forces of the Aesir, the 'Mountain Giants' and 'Sea Giants,' were also born in ancient times, they were far from being the focus of this world back then.
The treasures of the Asgardian gods might well be considered worthless garbage in the eyes of these Greek primordial gods.
Li Mochen's eyes gleamed as he looked at the many ancient deities below, who had fallen into the predicament of being besieged by the Fate gods. His gaze was like that of someone looking at a pile of treasure.
But he did not make another move. The most valuable items had already been obtained by Li Mochen. He also had to leave some scraps for his subordinates.
Li Mochen's attention was on Nyx. This Night Goddess had attempted to leave the battlefield as early as when Chaos fled. But she was firmly bitten by Fenrir, who truly intended to swallow the Night Goddess whole.
Then, when Li Mochen's gaze swept over her, the Night Goddess showed despair. She no longer tried to escape but directly exploded her body, turning into a cloud of black dust scattered across the sky and earth.
Li Mochen felt quite regretful. He had actually been in a dilemma just now. He wanted to go easy on Nyx but felt it would be too deliberate. Yet if Nyx could not remain in a waking state, he could not completely kill her.
As now, the Night Goddess's main body had transferred to another location—likely one of the contingencies she had set up before her death, hidden somewhere unknown. Li Mochen carefully discerned the threads of fate, but even with his Truth Fate, he could not find her trace.
This must be due to an existence of equal or even higher rank than him helping to conceal the heavenly secrets.
Twenty minutes later, the battle on the ice sheet ended completely. Including the 'Doomsday Giant' Surtr, everyone showed joy.
In this battle, they had all obtained many good things. Among them were seven mythical artifacts close to the pseudo-Truth level, and countless other mythical materials.
Several primordial gods, in despair, tried to destroy the treasures in their hands, but Li Mochen stopped them. He did not use the Gungnir Holy Spear; he merely plucked the strings of fate a few times, twisting the final outcome.
After the battle subsided, more than a dozen gods expressed gratitude for Li Mochen's generosity. The Doomsday Giant Surtr was no exception. He had just obtained a very good shield. Although the craftsmanship was rough, the materials used were the finest of the ancient era. It inherently possessed the pseudo-Truth powers of 'Eternal' and 'Indestructible,' with defensive capabilities incredibly formidable.
But Surtr knew that this was all the grace of the Fate Lord.
After expressing his gratitude, he looked with slightly solemn eyes at the broken ice sheet below.
"Your Majesty, what about these giants below?"
In the sleeping place of Chaos and the primordial gods, there were densely packed giants numbering over fifteen thousand.
Surtr recognized them; they were the 'Primordial Giants,' the direct offspring of Chaos.
With the Greek primordial gods led by Chaos dealt with, Surtr felt a glimmer of hope. If these giants below were also eliminated, would the threat from the north disappear?
He had lived in this ancestral land of the Frost Giants for over ten thousand years and still had an unseverable emotional attachment to it.
"Of course, not one left."
Li Mochen had originally intended to have the 'Dragon' Nidhogg or the 'Wolf' Fenrir devour these primordial giants in one gulp.
But just as this thought arose, Li Mochen sensed an omen of danger in his divinity.
He immediately waved his hand, filling the ice sea below with the power of Yin-Yang annihilation, and after sufficient preparation, he blew all these giants into dust in an instant.
But the next moment, Li Mochen saw the remains of the fifteen thousand giants turn into gray mist, forming a smiling face again in the deep sea.
"Slaanesh—"
Li Mochen's gaze turned cold. "Hela!"
The Winter Goddess Hela did not hesitate; she froze the already melted ice sheet again in less than one minute and twenty seconds.
Aio and Fenrir also lent a hand. They possessed pseudo-Truth level ice, though inferior to Hela, it still helped.
But then, a chilling scene unfolded before their eyes. The mist dispersed again, reforming into fifteen thousand giants, continuing to sleep beneath the ice sheet.
"They are merely hollow shells, weaker now than those primordial gods. But the corruption they have suffered is more thorough. As long as the mark of Slaanesh remains, as long as we cannot remove His power, these giants will eventually recover. It depends on Slaanesh's influence and power in this world."
Estandin's vigilance toward Chaos had now risen another notch.
"If we cannot seal off the Chaos corruption, they will pose a great threat to us from the north."
But then, an even more shocking scene unfolded before his eyes. The primordial gods they had killed earlier also began to reappear and recover beneath the ice sheet.
Surtr was also deeply alarmed. He was already grateful for Li Mochen's decisiveness. The latter's early relocation of their Frost Giant clan from the north was an incredibly wise decision.
Li Mochen, however, had already turned his attention elsewhere. He looked into a certain direction and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"You've been watching long enough. What have you decided? Will you leave this world, or join my pantheon? Three months should be enough for you to think it over."
Most of the gods present showed confusion. Their divine senses extended toward where Li Mochen was looking, and except for a few with weaker perception, the rest understood.
Among them, Athena curled her lips slightly. "I know this troublesome brother of mine. Since he has stayed watching until now without leaving, he must have already made a decision."
In the void, a beam of light so intense it could pierce metal and stone immediately focused on Athena—truly capable of piercing metal and stone, with temperatures of tens of millions of degrees, nearly piercing Athena's outer source energy armor.
"That won't work, my dear brother. If you want revenge, you can wait until you join our pantheon."
Athena chuckled and raised her 'Aegis Shield' before her.
The 'Aegis Shield,' named Αιγic meaning 'guardian,' came in two pieces, forged jointly by the skilled 'Cyclops' Cyclopes and the 'God of Smithing' Hephaestus.
The Aegis in Zeus's hands was also called the 'Amalthea Shield,' originating from the true dragon progenitor 'Amalthea.' It possessed not only the Truth of 'Guardian' but also the exorcism ability to drive away all evil and disaster.
Athena's version, made of the same material, was also called the 'Medusa Shield' and the 'Athenian Sacred Shield.' The demigod hero Perseus once used it to block Medusa's petrifying gaze and, with the shield's reflection, succeeded in killing Medusa. Athena also used it to protect the sacred city of Athens.
Apollo's beam struck the 'Aegis Shield,' instantly sending sparks flying, but could not harm Athena in the slightest.
Although she was the goddess of wisdom, in the eyes of her followers, she was always clad in armor, holding a spear and shield—because the Wisdom Goddess Athena's combat style was mostly melee.
She commanded the Truth-level 'Combat' and also the Truth-level 'Source Energy.'
In terms of close combat ability alone, she was once the strongest in the Greek pantheon.
After just a moment, Apollo gave up. With a grunt, he appeared before Li Mochen and knelt on one knee.
"Your Majesty! Please grant Apollo a place before your throne."
Three months earlier, under a series of schemes and provocations by Athena, he had clashed with Zeus and was eventually forced to leave Mount Olympus.
At that time, Apollo was filled with resentment and indignation. Although he knew that joining Li Mochen's ranks was a good choice, he could not make up his mind. It was only today, witnessing the slaughter of the many primordial gods and the division of their wealth, that Apollo finally decided.
"Of course!"
Li Mochen smiled. "As agreed between us, you may become the Lord of Dawn in the Fate Pantheon, and I will also grant you a more glorious future."
From the moment Apollo defected from Mount Olympus, this Greek sun god was already under his control.
He could certainly choose to leave this world, but just by looking at Zeus and Odin, one could see how difficult it was for a foreign god without a foundation to become a God of Gods.
And so far, Apollo had no foundation of his own in the outer realms. To independently develop a world and establish his own pantheon would be an almost impossibly difficult task.
On the contrary, in the Light World, there was a bright path ahead. The neighboring Dark World could support at least seven Gods of Gods; its area and resources were in no way inferior to the Primordial World, the source of Eastern mythology.
There was also Artemis, who shared the same mother as Apollo. This was a significant leverage over him. The sibling relationship was very close, though its actual effect was limited.
The reason for granting Apollo the divine title of Lord of Dawn was that the light of dawn was not so harsh and dazzling. It was the sun at daybreak, the first light piercing the darkness.
The appearance of dawn could already compensate for the Fate Pantheon's deficiencies in exorcism and evil-breaking; there was no need for the sun or light itself.
"Let me become your angel, Your Majesty! You have conquered me; Apollo wishes to become the sword in your hand."
Apollo's eyes flickered. What Athena saw clearly, he also understood. Although angels were more deeply controlled, they could gain more practical benefits and truly enter the core of this pantheon.
The key was that their current lord's divinity was already fixed; it was impossible for him to oppress his subordinates, and his style of conduct was unlikely to be as harsh as the Lord of Radiance.
So Apollo thought that since he was going to pledge allegiance, he might as well do it decisively.
"Then you shall be the Dawn Angel!"
Li Mochen laughed. "In the Heavenly Kingdom, you will be my Spear of Fate!"
Those who received similar titles were the Shield of Fate, the 'Earth Angel' Christine, and the Sword of Fate, the 'Eternal Angel' Atlas.
Apollo's strength far surpassed both of them; he could have obtained a higher position, but who could blame him for arriving too late?
Then Li Mochen looked again at the Arctic ice sheet.
"In the coming days, I will frequently battle the Olympian pantheon and Mother Gaia. Given your and Artemis's temperaments, you probably cannot accept that. So, for these two years, I want you and Artemis to help me watch over this place, alright?"
At this moment, Chiron was again setting up a sealing array. But how effective this seal would be was questionable, as many outside were already leaning toward releasing Chaos.
Thus, Chiron's focus was no longer on sealing but on suppressing the growth of Chaos's power as much as possible, delaying the resurrection time of these Greek primordial gods.
Li Mochen, however, felt it was unnecessary. In his view, when these primordial giants and gods showed signs of recovery, he would just kill them again.
"That is exactly my wish; I could not ask for more!"
Apollo said gratefully, "I will watch over this place for you, Your Majesty! But if the situation requires me to fight, Apollo will not hesitate."
He was not like his sister Artemis; he was more decisive in killing and would not be overly constrained.
