Godslayer: After the Seraph rejected me, I ascended directly to the highest godhood.

Olympus, within the River Styx.

Under the deep red night sky, in a palace located in a secluded spot on the River Styx, an elegant woman stared blankly ahead.

The woman, dressed in a purple star-patterned gauze dress, gazed at the sunlit area not far away, a hopeful smile on her lips.

That spot where the sunlight shone was particularly dazzling in the dark and gloomy underworld.

There was no desolation or darkness like the River Styx there, but rather a landscape of green mountains and clear waters, with a crystal-clear stream running through this paradise.

In the azure sky, birds soar in a V-shape, colorful flowers bloom on the green ground, and a few small stone-tiled houses stand beside the stream...

Hearing the babbling brook and the chirping of birds, and smelling the various floral fragrances, Nyx's eyes, as bright as the stars in the night sky, slowly narrowed.

"When that child comes out of the hospital, he'll probably like his mother's gift," she murmured.

Unable to conquer Olympus for Jiang Ye, she could only build a small home for him in this remote place.

Thinking of this, Nyx lowered her head sadly. "My child, I'm sorry. Your mother is incompetent and unable to control Olympus. After you were discharged from the hospital, you can only live here in seclusion."

Hearing Nyx's self-reproach, the little golden dragon lying comfortably to the side slowly raised its head.

"You don't need to blame yourself. Your master is actually incredibly strong. He could get Olympus in no time."

“You don’t have to…” Xiao Jin looked at the idyllic scene not far away and sighed, “You were already seriously injured, and you even damaged your own life force to build this idyllic place. Is it really worth it?”

After being severely injured by Zeus and Brahma, Nyx knew she was no longer capable of vying for the throne of the gods.

Instead of treating his injuries, he damaged his very essence and built a paradise in the hellish place of the Styx River.

“It’s worth it.” Nyx said without any hesitation, “That child needs a home.”

As Nyx gazed at the deep red night sky, the words Jiang Ye had spoken in her arms during the lunar war flashed before her eyes once more.

'Mom...take me home.'

These five incredibly simple words were deeply etched into Nyx's heart.

She gazed at the world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, her eyes full of longing.

Little Gold fell silent. It didn't quite understand the feelings between Nix and Jiang Ye, but it could clearly sense that the emotions were very intense.

I wonder when my master will be able to come to Olympus...

hum-

Ok?

As Little Gold was thinking, it suddenly felt a familiar fluctuation of divine power and looked up sharply.

A beam of holy light flashed rapidly across the deep red barrier of night.

"Holy crap, it's that old man from Heaven!" Little Gold's pupils suddenly contracted.

Nyx, who was standing nearby, naturally noticed it as well. His figure flashed into the night sky and appeared under the deep red night.

“You are… Yeland of the Holy Church.”

The holy light spread out, tearing apart half of the deep red night sky.

In the holy light, an old man in a gray-white robe looked at Nyx with a faint smile on his face.

"I don't mean to bother you, I just want to borrow something from you."

Nyx frowned. "What is that?"

“The Ark of the Covenant,” Yeland said, his gaze falling on Little Gold below.

The latter was jolted, his brain racing.

[The Ark of the Covenant] Jiang Ye told me to keep this thing safe. If this old man gets his hands on it, he'll definitely use it to roast me like dragon meat.

No, I can't win, I can't run away!

But Nyx is now seriously injured...

Xiao Jin was immediately caught in a dilemma.

“There’s nothing here that you’re looking for. Please leave immediately.” Nyx noticed Yeland’s gaze and a golden longsword slowly appeared in his hand, radiating intense killing intent.

Upon seeing this, Yeland shook his head slightly, "You are no match for me, and I will not make a move against you."

"The Ark of the Covenant is a sacred object of our religion and must be taken back."

"If you insist on stopping me, I'll have to do it myself."

The moment he finished speaking, Yeland transformed into a beam of holy light and fell towards Little Gold below.

Nyx's eyes narrowed, and he immediately gave chase.

Roar!

Little Gold's divine power erupted, transforming into a ten-thousand-meter-long golden dragon. He glanced at Nyx and said, "Take good care of yourself. I'll be back once I've gotten rid of this old man."

From their conversation, it's clear that Yeland's target is the Ark of the Covenant on his person.

There was no ill will toward Nyx.

So, all we need to do is lure Yeland away.

"All Things, Time and Space Leap"

Xiao Jin used the ability granted to him by Jiang Ye, which he had originally planned to save for a crucial moment, but now he had no choice but to use it.

As for using empowerment to directly confront Yeland, that would be extremely unwise.

It's important to know that Yeland is someone who sealed away the 'Cthulhu Mythos', so her strength should be comparable to Jiang Ye's.

If this attack fails to kill him, he will become a fish to be slaughtered.

Therefore, running away is the best option.

As the blue and white divine light flashed, Xiao Jin's ten-thousand-meter-tall body vanished into thin air within the underworld.

Yeland paused, snorted coldly, and slowly opened a holy book in his palm.

The holy light emanating from the scriptures tore through the void, forming an entrance resembling a wormhole.

Yeland transformed into holy light and rushed straight in, causing the wormhole to disappear.

When the heavily injured Nyx arrived, Yeland and Little Gold had already disappeared.

"Cough cough..." She clutched her chest, coughed twice, and blood slowly trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Using divine power just now aggravated my old injuries.

Nyx was pale and took a deep breath to calm down.

"I can't give up, I haven't waited for my child to come home yet."

She gazed at her meticulously built home in the distance and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"Hehe, it seems your injury is more serious than I thought."

Ok?

Just as Nyx was about to use his divine power to recover, a voice suddenly came from outside the deep red night.

Her pupils suddenly contracted, and divine power gathered in her palms as she tried to repair the night barrier that Yeland had torn apart.

"Forged in Flames!"

At this moment, Hephaestus, the god of fire and the god of forging, raised the forging hammer in his right hand.

The raging flames burned like a shower of meteorites crashing heavily against the deep red night sky.

puff!

Nyx suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, the supreme artifact [Xuanyuan Sword] was stuck in the ground, and he knelt on one knee.

The deep red night sky beneath the dark clouds slowly dissipated.

Hephaestus, the god of fire and forging, along with the four chief gods behind him, revealed themselves.

Hephaestus's fiery red eyes gazed down at Nyx and the surrounding environment.

"Nyx, seriously injured yet still has the leisure to build this thing, he's definitely not going to amount to anything." He looked at the paradise not far away and smiled disdainfully.

Supported by the Xuanyuan Sword, Nyx stood up and said in an icy voice, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Heh, in your current state, you can at best fight me to a draw, but against five main gods, you have no chance of winning!"

Hephaestus pointed his forging hammer at Nyx and commanded, "By order of the King of Gods, kill Nyx!"

"Yes!"

Behind him, the four main gods transformed into streams of divine power of different colors and charged toward Nyx.

Hephaestus raised his forging hammer once more, "Molten Hammer!"

The moment the words were spoken, a wall of lava, several meters high, suddenly rose up around them. In the dim sky, an enormous warhammer, its surface covered in flames, crashed down onto the ground.

Nyx saw that the area covered by the giant warhammer was the palace, and the 'home' built for Jiang Ye.

Anger flashed across her face as she braced herself and lifted the heavy Xuanyuan Sword.

"My child, Mom will never let you lose your home again."

Nyx slowly closed his eyes, and his divine power rippled outwards like a surging tide.

A deep red crystal flew out from her forehead and slowly merged into the golden Xuanyuan Sword.

thump—

The moment they merged, the crimson night sky flashed, and the attacks of Hephaestus and the other five main gods instantly ceased.

Hephaestus sensed the terrifying divine power, and his expression changed drastically.

"Oh no, she's willing to sacrifice her divine status to fight us to the death!"
