Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions outside the ancient temple echoed
one after another, showing no signs of stopping.
The golden pagoda that shielded the temple was
already covered with dozens of dense cracks.
And with each continued attack from Zeus and
Hera, the number of fractures only increased.
In less than half an hour, the entire metallic
pagoda was riddled with fractures.
“Break for me!”
Seeing that the pagoda was at its limit,
God-King Zeus and God-Queen Hera gathered their strength once again and
launched a simultaneous strike.
BOOM!!
A thunderous sound shook the earth and
mountains.
The golden pagoda, which had held out all
night, finally reached its breaking point and shattered completely.
Countless golden shards fell from the sky like
broken glass, descending like a dense rain.
In the Rear Courtyard
The moment the golden pagoda was shattered,
Margaret spat out another mouthful of fresh blood and nearly collapsed.
“Your Highness!”
Seeing this, several female guards rushed to
catch her, shielding her behind them, prepared to face the oncoming enemies.
Since they couldn’t persuade the princess to
leave, they could only gamble their lives to protect her.
“Hahahaha... it’s broken! It’s finally broken!”
Outside the ancient temple, God-King Zeus burst
into laughter, visibly exhilarated.
Though exhausted and with all his inner energy
depleted, it was all worth it.
A God-King's dignity must never be challenged.
If he couldn’t even break a measly little
pagoda, how could he ever face others again?
“Phew... That was tiring.”
God-Queen Hera let out a long sigh.
Even though they had finally shattered the
golden pagoda, she felt no sense of pride.
Two God-Kings had to work together and attack
all night just to break this pagoda --- it didn’t sound like an honorable feat
no matter how you looked at it.
Instead, she now grew curious --- who was the
owner of that pagoda?
To be able to control such a treasure and
withstand the attacks of two God-Kings for so long was no small feat.
“Monks of the Order, hear my command! Form the
battle formation immediately!”
As soon as the golden pagoda shattered, the
warrior monks standing guard at the temple gate made their move, surrounding
Zeus and Hera.
They understood well that after an entire night
of exhausting combat, the two God-Kings were now at their weakest.
This was the best opportunity to strike.
If they waited for the two to recover, they’d
have no chance of victory.
“Heh… You weaklings think you can take us down?
Don’t overestimate yourselves.” Zeus sneered.
Even without using inner energy, his physical
strength alone was more than enough to slaughter these ants.
“Seize them!”
The leading middle-aged monk didn’t waste any
words. Once the formation was set, he gave the order to attack.
“Go!”
Dozens of warrior monks struck at once, forming
a Vajra Arhat Formation to trap Zeus and Hera within two concentric
circles.
Immediately after, the sounds of staffs echoed.
Countless staff shadows surged toward the two
like a tidal wave, sealing off every possible escape route.
God-King Zeus stood motionless, allowing the
barrage of strikes to land on him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Amid the flurry of impacts, the staffs that struck
Zeus either bent or snapped --- none could cause the slightest injury.
As for God-Queen Hera, she vanished from her
spot, causing all the attacks aimed at her to miss completely.
“What?!”
Seeing their staffs either broken or bent, the
monks were shocked.
They had attacked with full strength, and Zeus
hadn’t even dodged --- he hadn’t even used a trace of inner energy.
Yet, just standing there, they couldn’t break
his defense.
To them, this was a crushing blow.
They had hoped that while Zeus was weakened,
they might stand a chance. But now, that hope was clearly a joke.
Zeus’s physical body was no weaker than the Golden
Body of the Shaolin Arhat.
“Too weak. Is this all the strength you have?”
Zeus mocked with disdain written all over his face.
Since he was in a good mood, he didn’t mind
playing with these ants a little longer.
“Don’t be arrogant!”
Two Grandmaster-level monks exchanged a glance
and launched a simultaneous attack with their reinforced steel staffs.
Their twin Vajra staffs struck from above and
below, aiming at Zeus’s head and legs.
“Heh…”
Zeus didn’t dodge --- he simply raised his hand
to block.
BANG! BANG!
Two explosive thuds later ---
Both steel staffs bent at a 90-degree angle
upon impact with Zeus, still failing to cause any harm.
“What?!”
The two Grandmasters looked stunned.
If even their combined full-force attack
couldn’t penetrate his defense, then today’s battle was already lost.
“All done?”
Zeus gave a cold smile, then struck with
lightning speed --- his palm hitting both Grandmasters in the chest and
abdomen.
The two didn’t even have time to react before
being blasted over a hundred meters away, crashing through three walls before
coming to a stop.
When they hit the ground, blood spewed from
their mouths and noses --- they were seriously injured and could no longer
fight.
One move.
Without using any inner energy, God-King Zeus
had severely wounded two Grandmaster-level monks with a single blow.
The difference in power between the two sides
was as vast as a chasm.
At this moment, everyone finally realized just
how terrifying God-King Zeus truly was.
He was a force they could never hope to resist. - Ton
