CHAPTER 647: CHAPTER 647: INCONSISTENCY

They knew, they all knew that Apollo and Apollo had been at odds ever since the Holy War tens of thousands of years ago.

Since then, the two no longer interacted with each other.

In recent years, their trusted subordinates had gradually awakened and began to conquer half of the Earth, but Athena had remained absent.

Who would have thought that Apollo, now in the throes of a near-death crisis, would cross paths with Athena.

However, no matter when this meeting occurred, it was exhilarating!

Because Athena was the Goddess of War and Wisdom.

In the hearth, Hestia was a goddess, but her rank aligned with reality.

"Hmm?"

Yang Chuan said nothing and struck first, causing Athena to frown instinctively.

As a goddess possessing both wisdom and warfare, Athena’s adversaries generally fell into two categories!

One type launched an assault as soon as riots erupted!

The other was her strongest warriors, wielding Aedis’ shield and the Goddess of Victory’s staff!

But nothing was as brazenly direct as Yang Chuan’s attack!

"He doesn’t think his attack will bypass Aedis’ shield?"

Athena pondered, her expression suddenly shifting!

Because the blatant strike was unlike any attack she had ever faced – simply impossible.

Before this, the black power was formidable, but at this precise moment, the blade trembled!

Indeed, it seemed to sever the black line that stretched between heaven and earth, rushing straight at Athena.

It was as though the black lines connecting Athena’s chambers were about to be entirely replaced!

"A fierce attack!"

Athena, gazing at this supreme blade in the sky, couldn’t help but nod in acknowledgment.

However, she leisurely responded to the failure of Aedis’ shield, saying, "Even with Aedis’ shield, the strongest attack can only reach the Martial Arts division."

Boom!

A deafening sound erupted as the black force unleashed by Yang Chuan was deflected before Aedis’ shield. Then, as if to defy gravity, the heavens swirled upwards.

The supreme blade was firmly blocked by Aedis’ shield.

"Well done!"

Agong, witnessing Athena fending off a two-day strike with Aedis’ shield, exclaimed in shock!

For the first time, the gods prevented a twin-bladed attack as Yang Chuan emerged!

In contrast, Adro’s expression darkened, his eyes betraying envy as he stared at Aedis’ shield in Athena’s hands.

Such a valiant warrior – who wouldn’t desire her loyalty?

"Indeed, magnificent!"

Yang Chuan rested his blade, his eyes somber.

He possessed Aedis’ shield, which naturally had immense power, yet not a single scratch appeared on it after opening the blade!

Still, deep inside Yang Qian’s heart, Xiao Yu’s voice resonated once more: "If only you had aimed more precisely! Why must you doubt and launch an attack instead? Now you see how mighty it is?"

"Alas, I’m going to fill the aura within you. If you cannot unleash your full strength, I will wield my defensive oxen power, erasing its tiny presence, eradicating your fragmented strikes. Now, what do you intend to do?"

"What now?"

Yang Chuan smiled faintly without uttering a word.

At this moment, however, Athena began to speak slowly. "Surrender!"

"Hmm?"

He frowned.

"I surrender!"

Using her left hand to grasp Aedis’ failed shield and her right hand to wield the Goddess of Victory’s staff, Athena spoke to Yang Qiandao: "Before my shield, your attacks are futile. Before my staff, your defenses crumble. Surrender!"

"What happens if I surrender now?" Yang Quan grinned faintly as he replied.

"Surrender?"

Athena, as the most devoted priestess of Xin Atu, answered, "Naturally, you would repent and await your fate as my most loyal believer! I say this: Before the king, love – forgiveness..."

"What about this!"

"Before Apola’s conclusion, would you forgive him? Who would cry out ’call out’? No, not at all! He must be exterminated! Only then can my heart be relieved."

Several gods remained silent, yet their resolve appeared evident, seemingly agreeing with Apollo’s stance.

Ultimately, it was clear that Yang Chuan was but a mortal from one region, despite him standing among the noble newcomers.

At present, this man had navigated through the ruins of Olympus Mountain under the command of his subordinates!

He had slain gods like Ares and Hermes, both among the twelve great Olympians. Such sins could never be forgiven. Could they so easily pardon his actions?

My decision stands firm; my determination is unyielding. My utmost pride compels me that if anyone objects, they must take decisive action.

"You..."

Fragmented.

The indestructible shield, Aedis, born since the dawn of the divine, was astonishingly shattered during defense.

Before their eyes, it disintegrated against Yang Chuan’s wooden blade, rendering Apollo and the other gods dumbstruck!

They had no idea what had just occurred.

Athena could no longer retain composure, staring blankly. "You... are merciful? You... learned such power? How could you shatter my Aedis shield? Just now, it clearly..."

"Don’t you understand yet?"

Yang Chuan spoke dispassionately as he stepped forward.

Crack!

At that moment, the entire sky collapsed with a single stride!

Simultaneously, Athena and her followers felt an inescapable force as red and yellow torrents bent down upon them, driving them helplessly to their knees, kneeling on the ground.

"This... this power..."

The sensation brought by this power was singular – resistance proved futile!

In its presence, even Apollo, one of the Twelve Olympians and the great Light God, felt like nothing more than a feeble pup!

Above all, this power seemed inexhaustible.

How could it ever be accepted!

Hence, Apollo knelt in submission, trembling: "How could you possess such strength? How could you... make me, a god, feel... this wretched..."

"An ant?"

Liangri gazed calmly at Apollo, utterly indifferent as he addressed Athena. "Now you understand, don’t you?"

"Now you see?"

Athena’s bitter smile surged at Yang Chuan’s words!

She had thought Yang Chuan mere mortal, an outdated elder lacking strength!

Thus, she had spoken of repentance, sparing him, preserving him with benevolence – kindness stemming from her own heart!

But now, Yang Chuan appeared unassuming yet proved formidable – a monarch!

From this perspective, her prior declarations of mercy were a nonsensical joke before Yang Chuan’s might.

A mere pup and an ant from the mortal realm preaching rescue to the emperor – what absurdity!

Thus, Athena, who had always carried an air of supremacy over others, just like her devoted followers who bowed before her, now... truly understood!

"Good!"

Yang Chuan turned toward Athena and closed his eyes to address Apollo and the rest of the gods. "How should you perish?" he spoke softly.

How should you perish?

The same tone, the same phrase!

When Yang Chuan uttered these words, Apollo and the others initially heard them as jest.

Even if Yang Wanqian’s hands were to explode, they would harbor greater rage!

But now, this sentence reached their ears like the voice of judgment!

It was as though they were convicts awaiting sentencing, powerless to resist.

Henceforth, Apollo, Avatres, Aphrodite, Hesidit, and the gods began trembling uncontrollably, akin to frightened ants before the might of the ocean.

"Respected Mr. Yang! You have already demonstrated your strength before me—what do you say?"

As these words echoed, humiliation colored Apollo and the gods’ expressions one by one!
