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

Olympus, the summit of the mountains.

Inside the magnificent golden palace, Lucifer, his body shrouded in darkness and his eyes glowing crimson, slowly approached, a fragment of the Key to the Gate floating in his palm.

Above the palace, Zeus, seated on his throne, slowly opened his eyes, which flashed with lightning.

The nauseating smell made Him frown.

"Resolved?" Zeus gripped his scepter and slowly stood up.

Lucifer's lips curled into a smile as he tossed the fragment of the Key to the Gate toward the throne, where Zeus caught it.

"Naturally, let's seize the opportunity and attack Great Xia."

Zeus nodded slightly. "I didn't expect your method to be so effective. Once I banish the gods of Asgard, I will attack Great Xia."

“I urge you to hurry. Even if ‘He’ is banished from the world, He has a way to return,” Lucifer warned.

Both He and Zeus knew that as long as the Great Xia had the 'All-Encompassing Celestial Venerable' in charge, even if Olympus and the Temple of the Gods joined forces, they would not be able to conquer the Great Xia.

But He had experienced the lunar war alongside the 'All-Encompassing Celestial,' so He naturally understood Nyx's importance to the 'All-Encompassing Celestial.'

That's why this scheme was set up, so that the Celestial Venerable of All Things would take the bait and be teleported out of this world by the fragment of the Key to the Gate.

As a result, the Great Xia, which was still conserving its strength, was no match for the combined attack of the two great divine kingdoms.

"By the way, what if Yeland gets involved?" Zeus suddenly asked.

His Highness Lucifer smiled. "He dares not act rashly; He is merely an observer of this world."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't ask any more questions, just do what you need to do. Time is running out for attacking Great Xia."

Lucifer, his fleshy wings trembling, flew out of the palace.

Zeus frowned, thinking of Yeland's actions in knowing his plans but not stopping him.

This gave Him more trust in Lucifer's words.

Yeland must have some concerns...

"Now that the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations is no longer here, we must hurry."

Zeus put aside his speculations about Yeland and his immediate priority was to take action against Great Xia while the 'All-Encompassing Celestial Venerable' was banished from the world.

He tapped the ground with his scepter, and a bolt of lightning flew from the top of the scepter out of the palace and towards the Hindu temple.

Then, Zeus looked at the fragment of the Key to the Gate floating in his palm, and with a flash, disappeared into the palace.

In the distance, at the edge of the Olympus Mountains.

Lucifer, his fleshy wings trembling, stroked the wriggling wings with an expression of utter confusion.

"With your strength, even if you're not good at fighting, you should have a way to defeat 'Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable'. Why go through all this trouble?"

After a moment of silence, Lucifer heard a soft whisper in his ear.

As he listened, Lucifer's expression gradually changed, and his eyes revealed surprise.

"So that's how it is. He, I, and we are indeed friends."

……

India, Temple of the Gods.

Inside the towering golden temple, Brahma, with four heads and four arms, seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes.

The lightning bolt that streaked across the sky above the Temple of the Gods was reflected in His eyes.

Brahma rose from the golden lotus, his brown, divine rosary beads spinning in his hand.

“Brahma, Zeus has great ambitions. It is not wise for you to cooperate with him,” Vishnu said from the side.

The eyes of the World-Destroying Brahma narrowed slightly. "The Temple of Heaven and the Great Xia have long been mortal enemies. If we do not seize the opportunity to destroy the Great Xia, the Temple of Heaven will be the one to perish in the future."

"The gods of Great Xia have now lost a lot of their fighting strength to the gods of Asgard, which is extremely advantageous to us."

“But…” Vishnu looked at the sky outside the temple and said with a worried expression, “The Great Xia’s All-Encompassing Celestial Venerable once caused nearly half of the gods in the Heavenly Temple to die or be injured with just a ‘decree’.”

"Aren't you going to learn your lesson?"

lesson?

The World-Destroying Brahma smiled. "Vishnu, I naturally know that the Great Xia's Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable is invincible, but since I intend to attack Great Xia, how could I be unprepared?"

"What do you mean?" Vishnu frowned slightly upon hearing this.

“The Great Xia Dynasty no longer has the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations.” Brahma’s lips curled into a wicked smile. “He has been trapped in time and space by Zeus.”

"Even if He manages to return in the end, it will take a lot of effort, and by then, the Great Xia will have already been destroyed."

"Furthermore, six of the twelve Olympian gods are currently in the Temple of the Gods, so our fighting strength is no less than that of the Great Xia."

Vishnu paused, then fell silent.

Brahma glanced at Him and slowly said, "Is the [Empty Gate] ready? We need to hurry."

Vishnu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

……

Asgard.

Under the azure sky, the magnificent city was peaceful and serene, with smiles on everyone's faces.

Riding white winged horses, the city's guard, led by the Valkyrie, patrolled the skies.

Valkyrie, the Valkyrie, gazed at the scene under the sunlight, where the gods were each performing their duties and the two great pantheons were living in harmony, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Since the arrival of the mist, Asgard has been experiencing internal strife, with the ambitions of Odin and Loki forcing the Asgardian gods to become involved.

Then came the battle against Great Xia, followed by the God-King conflict between Thor and Loki, and finally Ragnarok...

Now, Asgard has finally returned to its former glory, a land free from war, a place that evokes a sense of happiness just by looking at it.

The Valkyrie took the wine jug from the winged horse, tilted her head back and took a big gulp, then smiled as she looked down at the peaceful scene below.

In the beautiful scene, a guard in silver armor, riding a winged horse, frantically bursts into Valkyrie's field of vision.

The latter slightly raised his eyes, about to say something.

The weather, which was originally sunny, was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds, which swept in and cast shadow over the entire Asgard.

The Valkyrie frowned.

"Lord War God, something terrible has happened! Zeus has forced his way across the Rainbow Bridge and entered Asgard!" the guard shouted in a panic.

what!

Upon hearing this, the Valkyrie looked up at the rolling thunderclouds in the sky, her expression gradually becoming solemn.

Click!

A bolt of incredibly bright lightning struck, illuminating the surroundings.

A flash of lightning revealed Zeus, his upper body bare, his muscles bulging, standing high in the void, gazing down at the magnificent city below.

At the same time, in the city, at the very moment Zeus descended, several streaks of light flew out from the temple and landed in front of Zeus.

“Zeus!” Frigga, the queen of the gods, said in an unfriendly tone, dressed in a long blue dress.

Behind her are Verdandi and Odin.

“I never imagined that Asgard would be ruled by a woman.” Zeus gripped his scepter, his expression mocking. “Odin, you’re really terrible.”

Upon hearing this, Odin, the one-eyed man, was instantly enraged. A faint golden light flickered in his palm, and a golden spear appeared.

"Zeus, Asgard is not a place for you to run wild, get out!"

"Odin, do you know what you look like now?" Zeus said, his eyes narrowing. "A domesticated dog. Are you really willing to be controlled by others like this forever?"

"Now that I have banished the 'Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations' from the world, why don't we join forces to destroy the Great Xia, and then..."

"Enough!" Queen Frigga chuckled, turning to look at Odin. "Odin, you should know what to do."

Odin frowned. He, too, longed to break free from control, but could he actually do it?

Once a rebellious thought arises, it will annihilate the soul and spirit of the being, leaving Him with absolutely no chance.

Odin shook his head, took a step forward with the Spear of Eternity in his hand, stared at Zeus, and said coldly.

"Zeus, you are no match for me."

"Heh." Zeus's eyes gradually turned cold. "I was going to give you a chance, but I didn't expect you to be such a loyal dog."

"You're courting death!" Odin thrust out his golden spear.

Zeus was enveloped in lightning, and pointed his scepter at the void.

bang——

The spear and the scepter clashed together, and the divine power contained in the two supreme artifacts collided violently. The impact of the divine power, like a giant wave, blasted Frigga and the others away.

"Valkyrie, go and guard the Rainbow Bridge," Frigga ordered.

After Lin Qiye left, in order to recover their strength as soon as possible, they prepared for Jiang Ye's next big battle.

She then opened the passage between the Kingdom of God and the human world—the Rainbow Bridge!

Now that Zeus has suddenly forced his way in, it's definitely not just one person.

The title of the strongest supreme god on Earth is not just a figure of speech. Odin's strength far surpasses that of Zeus, and this is Asgard, where Zeus simply does not have the power to defeat Odin.

Therefore, Zeus could not possibly be foolish enough to come alone; he must have had a backup plan.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Valkyrie immediately pulled hard on the reins and rode her Pegasus toward the Rainbow Bridge.

Above the sky.

A flash of divine power erupted as Odin's Spear of Eternity knocked back Zeus's lightning-streaked scepter, which he then swung out with the force of the impact.

The golden spear whistled as it hurtled towards Zeus's heart.

Zeus's expression changed slightly, and his figure flashed like lightning, instantly dodging the attack.

Odin reached out and, guided by divine power, the Spear of Eternity flew back into his hand.

"You really are the only one? Zeus, you are far too arrogant. How dare you provoke Asgard?"

The lightning around Zeus dissipated, and a smile appeared on his face. "Odin, did you think I would be so foolish?"

"If I didn't want to cooperate with Asgard, I wouldn't be saying all this nonsense."

He looked down at Frigg below the sky, and a fragment of a key slowly appeared in his palm.

"Frigga, I'm giving you one last chance to join forces with me and destroy Great Xia."

"As for the control that the Celestial Venerable of All Things has over you, I cannot resolve it, but 'Cthulhu' should have a way."

Upon hearing this, Frigga's face darkened, and her gaze fell on the purple shard in Zeus's hand.

She could sense the mysterious aura and the power of time and space of the fragment with perfect clarity.

Could this be Zeus's backup plan?

Frigga's beautiful eyes flashed with seriousness. After thinking for a moment, she slowly spoke.

"Odin, kill Him!"

They had all witnessed the horrors of 'Cthulhu,' so how could they possibly agree to Zeus's request?

Moreover, the survival of all the gods of Asgard rests on Jiang Ye's decision; they have no choice whatsoever.

“Yes.” Odin was well aware of this as well, sighed, and moved closer to Zeus once more.

The latter's eyes were icy, and he sneered, "Since that's the case, then disappear from this world!"

Zeus flung out a fragment of the Key to the Gate, and under the trigger of divine power, the surface of the fragment emitted a purple glow.

Odin was startled when he sensed that familiar aura.

"This is……"

Before He could react, the fragments flashed with light, and in the blink of an eye, all the gods of Asgard vanished into thin air.

……

The fate of the nation rests on the island.

In the evening, after finishing training, Lin Qiye returned to his residence with the others.

“The training is so boring every day. A week has passed and I still haven’t broken through my mental barrier.”

Cao Yuan said with a hint of resentment.

"Indeed, the conditions for breaking through the 'heart barrier' require extreme joy or sorrow, but we either entertain ourselves or get beaten up by Bai Ze every day, so it seems there's nothing else."

An Qingyu pushed up her glasses, seemingly sensing something unusual.

Lin Qiye frowned, feeling that something seemed off about this training camp aimed at breaking through the limits of human capabilities.

But it seems impossible to pinpoint the exact reason.

He shook his head. "Don't even think about it. Breaking through the human ceiling isn't that easy. It's only been a month. We can't be impatient."

"Everyone, go back and rest first. Tomorrow we'll be facing Bai Ze again."

Upon hearing this, no one said anything more and each went to their own room.

But as they walked, Lin Qiye suddenly turned around and asked, "Jialan, why are you following me?"

"No, no, it's just that I have something to tell you. Can I come into your room?" Jialan's cheeks were slightly flushed.

Lin Qiye was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "Let's talk here. It's not appropriate for a lone man and woman to be alone together."

“…” Jialan paused, bit her lip slightly, and puffed out her cheeks. “Never mind, I won’t say anything more.”

She seemed to have run away in a huff.

Lin Qiye scratched his head and walked into the room without giving it much thought.

When Jialan saw that Lin Qiye hadn't caught up, he clenched his fists and jumped up and down in anger.

Asylum of the Gods.

Food and Beverage Department.

"Dean, are you going to cook for Jiang Ye yourself again?" said Azhu, the head of the catering department, resting her chin on her hands.

Lin Qiye nodded. "Are all the ingredients ready?"

"Here you go." A'Zhu handed the ingredients she had prepared to Lin Qiye.

after an hour.

Lin Qiye carried three dishes and a soup and slowly walked into the seventh ward.

Ok?

He looked around the ward, but Jiang Ye was nowhere to be seen.

"What about people?"

Lin Qiye placed the food on the table and searched the garden and under the big trees in the courtyard, but still couldn't find anyone.

He felt a sudden unease and quickly sought out Li Yifei, who was playing chess with Yeland.

"Jiang Ye? He hasn't left his hospital room all day!"

"But there was no one in the ward."

"Then he must have gone out. After all, this isn't the first time Jiang Ye has gone out on his own," Li Yifei said.

out?

Lin Qiye frowned even more. In the past, Jiang Ye would always tell him in advance whenever he was discharged from the hospital.

But not this time. Could it be that something extremely urgent happened?

A look of worry immediately appeared on Lin Qiye's face, and his unease grew even more pronounced...

In the courtyard, Chaos, disguised as Yeland, grabbed a handful of chess pieces from the chess box and placed them on the chessboard.

He narrowed his eyes, staring at the chaotic pieces on the chessboard, a smile playing on his lips.

"Once he left the world, the hospital couldn't even detect his presence."

"The opportunity has finally arrived!"
