The Rainbow Bridge's power to traverse has reached its limit.

The surrounding space began to crackle and explode, but Frigg still hadn't received the coordinates from everyone's divine senses. She shouted anxiously, "Hurry up! If we wait any longer, the teleportation magic circle will shatter, and we'll be torn to pieces... If you don't have a destination, I'll just teleport anywhere!"

Even after the words were spoken, the eyes of the several Xia people remained fixed on what was behind Hela, their faces gloomy and solemn.

“Yes…we really should go. Didn’t we agree before that no matter who falls behind, we won’t turn back?” Tengshe forced a smile and said softly.

Zhu Zizhen was weak and listless. He sighed inwardly and turned his head away, not daring to look.

"Yes. And with just a few of us minor deities who are severely exhausted, if we were to fight again, we probably wouldn't even be able to break through the Golden Armor Formation. Staying would just be a futile death; Great Xia still needs us..."

Cao Yuan's face was grave. He gently touched the hilt of his sword, which was emitting black smoke, but he said nothing.

Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably. She knew she had to leave; going back would mean certain death, and the outcome wouldn't change anything. The correct answer to the question—whether three would die or all would perish—was that simple; there was no need to dwell on it.

Shen Gongbao, the pillar of the family, lowered his head in silence, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly several times. Finally, he slowly turned around, gritting his teeth as he forced out a single sentence:

"Let's go... The most important thing now is to bring the intelligence back. Everything else can be abandoned. Queen, I've given you the coordinates, let's go!"

......

Everyone immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, turning around with difficulty and averting their gaze.

"hehe......"

Just then, Hela, the goddess of death, smiled gently, extended a finger, and lightly touched the thorny whip binding the three people.

In an instant, the sharp thorns on the surface of the long whip pierced into the bodies of the three men, writhing like serpents. Then, the hair-thin thorns rapidly pierced through each of their meridians, scratching their nerves and inflicting torture a thousand times more painful than being slowly sliced ​​to death.

"Oh... Ah!"

The three of them were able to endure the pain at first, but when the pain reached its limit, they still couldn't faint and finally couldn't help but cry out loud.

"enough!"

Shen Gongbao suddenly turned around, his three-foot-long green peak pointing at Hela:

"You are also a god. If you want to kill someone, then do it quickly. What kind of hero tortures people? You may be captured one day. Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you!"

"Clap clap clap clap." Hela clapped her hands, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"What a display of brotherhood! But these high-sounding words might work on others, but they won't work on me. Don't forget, I am the Goddess of Death; tormenting people is my job... If one day you capture me..."

Hela paused, as if thinking of something, then suddenly crossed her legs, her face flushed, and said:

"Then torture me as much as you like. Do whatever you want, the more you torture me, the more excited I will be. Try to torture me to death so that I can truly experience the ultimate hallucination of the moment of death!"

......

The members of Da Xia twitched at the corners of their mouths, falling silent in unison. Trying to provoke a freak really doesn't work... She always manages to deliver a truly sincere and even more twisted response, leaving everyone speechless.

"However, if you are willing to come out of the teleportation array, I am willing to give you a chance."

Hela licked her lips, retracted the thorns, and then pointed to the golden-armored guards around her, smiling broadly:

“I swear by my divine authority, they will not lay a hand on me. I will face all of you alone. If you can take the prisoners, I will let you leave on your own.”

"Pah! Keep dreaming! We've already won, there's no need for us to play along."

Yuan Hong suddenly spoke, his eyes tightly closed and his body trembling, shouting into the distance, "Shen Gongbao, take them away quickly, don't worry about us... You promised not to look back, why are you acting like a little girl? If it were me, I wouldn't even bother to look at you, I'd just turn around and leave... Go now!"

"Let's go." Yang Xian forced a smile.

Yun Feiyan was the most seriously injured. She struggled to look at Ji Nian and said, "Ji Nian, don't tell my master... just say that I went to sea to infiltrate and won't be back for decades."

......

Hela looked at the three behind her with great interest, then at the others opposite her, without making any attempt to stop them from speaking.

Haha, how pathetic are the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty.

This kind of thing has happened too many times in the past hundred years, and they still haven't learned their lesson? Hela has almost gotten used to it—as long as this procedure is followed, they will always come back in the end and all die, without exception.

Sure enough, they were tempted.

“If it’s just Hela, it’s three against one, and we have a high chance of winning them all back. We can give it a try,” Zhu Zizhen said softly.

Tengshe nodded and said, "I also think we can give it a try. We'll give the coordinates to the Queen and teleport her to Great Xia, which is equivalent to sending out the information... It doesn't necessarily mean we have to go back in person..."

As Tengshe finished speaking, he took out the blue rose from his robes again, his eyes gleaming, and said, "Besides, we still have this, which can open the Rainbow Bridge once more."

The moment the blue rose was taken out, it became the final bargaining chip on the scales that crushed everyone's wavering resolve.

Without further hesitation, Shen Gongbao stepped out of the teleportation array, sword in hand, his aura surging ever-growing.

Tengshe and Zhu Zizhen exchanged a glance, then followed closely behind, resolutely stepping forward. Before they could instruct the Divine Queen to activate the magic circle, Cao Yuan and Ji Nian, with lightning speed, also jumped out. Now, only the Divine Queen remained within the magic circle.

"Why did you do this..." Frigg sighed deeply, bowed to the group and thanked them, "I will take back the precious things you risked your lives for to Daxia. Take care, everyone."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Rainbow Bridge suddenly shot a beam of seven-colored light down into the abyss below. Three breaths later, when the beam of light disappeared, Frigg had vanished without a trace.

Tengshe glanced back, particularly displeased, and said, "Ugh... that woman's words are really awful. We'll be going back soon, but she's making it sound like we're going to our deaths?!"

"Westerners aren't very polite, you'll get used to it," Zhu Zizhen said with a smile.

"Love, love, love, love...low-level!"

Across from him, Yuan Hong, who was bound to the ground, sighed deeply, feeling both moved and saddened.

Everyone's like this, but you can't win... Yuan Hong was filled with mixed emotions. Having been an undercover agent in Asgard for a century, he had seen this kind of thing countless times.

If one of their colleagues is captured, the rest will always die a heroic death; very few will give up and escape.

They've witnessed this for a century, which is why they established the rule of "never looking back."

But who would have thought that when the time came, they would ultimately follow the same old path, using a few ridiculous reasons to convince themselves to calmly face death...

"You shouldn't have done that..."
