The negotiation continues

"Brother Dustin, I understand that you have such concerns."

Han Tian smiled and said, "But I can assure you that as long as you are loyal and don't betray the Pantheon, there will be no danger. We Pantheon attaches great importance to geniuses like you. To put it bluntly, taking poison is just a safety measure to prevent secrets from being leaked. I believe you should understand this."


Without taking the poison, there would be no way to control them, and naturally, they couldn't be trusted.


It's one thing to use someone for cannon fodder tasks, but when it comes to entrusting someone with important responsibilities, every aspect must be considered—especially their loyalty.

"Lord Han, I understand what you said. I also yearn for the Pantheon, but we have just met for a short time. I can't trust the Pantheon unconditionally for the time being." Dustin shook his head again.


You're completely useless, yet you're making all these demands. Do you really think I'm that much of a fool?

"Brother Dustin, trust can be built. Take a look at this first..."

Han Tian said, and suddenly took out an exquisite box from his arms and pushed it in front of Dustin.


"What is this?"


Dustin opened it and saw two tubes of medicine inside.


One tube is red and the other is blue. There is no special feature on the surface, but if you feel it carefully, you will find that it contains a powerful and special energy.


"To be honest, this is a special strengthening potion made by our Pantheon. It is very precious. Only those above the main god level are qualified to enjoy it."


Han Tian pointed to the two tubes of potion and explained: "The red potion mainly strengthens the body, including speed, strength, defense, reaction, etc.; the blue potion can greatly improve the energy. In the words of your Dragon Country warriors, this thing is equivalent to spiritual liquid and can be directly absorbed."


"Oh? Is it so powerful?" Dustin raised his eyebrows and was quite surprised.


He had heard that Western countries have done in-depth research on genetic medicine.


Unlike the training of Dragon Country warriors, they can cultivate a group of masters in a short period of time by modifying genes and taking medicines.


However, masters cultivated by genetic medicines often cannot be improved again, and their lifespan is short, and they need to take medicines for a long time.


Once they are away from the medicine, they will be beaten back to their original form.


But even so, there are still countless people flocking to it.


The reason is simple, this is a shortcut to become a strong man without much effort or talent.


"Brother Dustin, you should have seen it in the competition, right? Whether it is Black Kong or Father Adam, they have all taken potions, and all aspects of their bodies have been greatly enhanced."


"Although they cannot be compared with geniuses like you, Brother Dustin, I believe that their fighting power is obvious to all."


"The most important thing is that their physical talents are limited and they cannot fully absorb the potion. At most, they can only exert half of the effect. If it is you, Brother Dustin, you should be able to absorb more than 80%."


"It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you take these two tubes of potion, then the champion of this martial arts competition will be you!"


"How about it? Are you satisfied with this gift?"


Han Tian smiled and said it with confidence.


To become a strong man, you must have a heart to become stronger.


And strength is often the greatest pursuit of the strong.


And no strong man can resist the temptation to become stronger.


"The treasure is a good treasure, but... there will be no side effects, right?" Dustin carefully observed the two tubes of potion, with a bit of hesitation.


Han Tian knew that the other party was tempted, and immediately said while the iron was hot: "Brother Dustin, don't worry, these two tubes of medicine are our most successful research, the cost is extremely expensive, and there will be no side effects. I can guarantee you."


"I heard that this kind of medicine needs to be taken for a long time, otherwise it will lose its effect. I wonder if it is true or not?" Dustin asked again tentatively.


"The rumor is true, but compared with the semi-finished products before, this medicine is close to perfect. As long as it is taken once a year, the effect can be maintained for a long time."


Han Tian did not hide it and talked freely: "Of course, you don't have to worry about this at all. As long as you join the Temple of the Gods, the supply of medicine will be endless."


"So that's it." Dustin nodded thoughtfully, but cursed in his heart.


Although these medicines can make people stronger, once they are taken, they will become puppets of the Temple of the Gods.


If you dare to disobey, the supply will be cut off immediately.


And there is a high probability that people who take medicines will become addicted.


The Pantheon uses these addictive potions to manipulate masters from all sides to serve them.


What a great plan!


"Brother Dustin, how about it? Do you want to join our Pantheon and create brilliance together?" Han Tian invited again.


The temptation of the championship, coupled with the temptation of becoming stronger, fame and strength, I believe few people can resist it.


"Lord Han has said so much, if I don't appreciate it, it would be a bit ungrateful."


Dustin smiled and accepted the potion, showing his attitude.


"Okay! Brother Dustin is really a smart man!"


Han Tian's eyes lit up: "The strengthening potion is just an appetizer. After joining our Pantheon, there will be countless resources and rewards in the future. I guarantee that you will never be disappointed!"


"Please give me more advice in the future, Lord Han." Dustin stood up and saluted with his hands clasped.


"Okay, okay, follow me and you'll have everything you want in the future."


Han Tian suddenly changed the subject: "But now, you still have to show your sincerity."


Han Tian raised his hand and pushed the poison on the table forward.


The meaning is obvious. To join the Pantheon and be valued, you must first drink poison to show your loyalty. - Marinien

Life or Death?

At this moment, Hera was completely terrified. When she saw Dustin effortlessly dissolve her attack, she had already started thinking about retreating. Her instincts told her that Dustin was not someone to be trifled with --- he was an extremely dangerous individual. Still, she clung to a sliver of hope, thinking that with Zeus by her side, the two of them together might still stand a chance. But now, after watching Zeus get severely injured and lose an arm with just one strike, she completely panicked. Her strength was already a bit weaker than Zeus’. If even Zeus couldn’t withstand a single strike from Dustin, there was no way she could either. So, the instant she saw Dustin raise his hand again, Hera didn’t hesitate for even a moment. She pushed off with her feet, launching herself into the air like a streak of light, fleeing rapidly into the sky. At this point, all she wanted was to save her own life. As for Zeus’s survival? That was no longer her concern. Rig...

Trouble Arrives at the Door

“I was quite surprised that I managed to bring back the Dragon Source Qi so smoothly this time. Honestly, I was even prepared to fall out completely with Li Juntang,” said Dustin. “Oh? How so?” Margarert raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. Dustin didn't hold back. He carefully recounted everything that had happened, including Li Juntang’s sudden and unusual friendliness, as well as Hongniang’s intervention and her decision to follow him. “What do you think Li Juntang is really up to? He was incredibly suspicious of me just a day before --- nearly fought me --- yet the next day he completely changed, became overly friendly, and even gifted me one of the great beauties from the Rouge List. It's baffling.” Dustin shook his head. “In my view, this probably has something to do with Li Juntang’s mother, Consort Spanner,” Margarert said after a moment of contemplation. “Consort Spanner is shrewd and calculating. She must have realized that Li Juntang isn't your match...

Transcendent and Otherworldly

A burst of golden light suddenly appeared, neutralizing Zeus’s attack and at the same time saving Margaret from having her cultivation abolished. As the golden light gradually faded, a handsome young man emerged before the crowd. His hair was completely white, his clothes were ragged, but his entire being exuded a transcendent and otherworldly aura. He stood there silently in front of Margaret, like an unshakable mountain. “Dustin?” Seeing the white-haired, handsome man, Margaret finally let out a long breath of relief. She knew she was saved --- and so was everyone in the ancient temple. Although Dustin now had white hair, his appearance hadn’t changed much. But the aura he carried was now touched with an undefinable trace of divinity --- something she had never sensed before. And that alone was enough to prove that Dustin had broken through to a new realm. “You’ve worked hard.” Dustin turned and gave Margaret a gentle nod. A strand of golden light suddenly pou...
