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 poured into
her body.
Margaret trembled slightly, feeling a warm
current flow through her --- it was incredibly soothing.
The blocked meridians and internal injuries in
her body were instantly restored, as if spring had returned to the land.
Within just a few breaths, her injuries were
fully healed, and her energy, spirit, and vitality were all brimming.
Such a feat had clearly surpassed the realm of
ordinary mortals.
“Leave the rest to me.”
Dustin smiled faintly and turned his gaze
toward Zeus and Hera.
At that moment, the two divine kings seemed to
sense danger and stood side by side, secretly on alert.
Though they didn’t know why, the seemingly
ordinary young man before them filled them with inexplicable unease.
“You’re Logan Rhys?” Zeus looked him up and
down.
The man didn’t look much different from the
photos in the dossier, but something felt off.
Wasn’t he supposed to be seriously injured? Why
did he look so full of life?
“And you’re Zeus?” Dustin replied calmly.
“Hmph! You've got some nerve, calling me by
name!” Zeus scowled.
“And this must be Hera, right?” Dustin’s gaze
shifted.
“That’s right.” Hera smirked. “To defeat
Poseidon, you must have some skill. But today, you're facing two divine kings
--- both stronger than Poseidon. And you show up in person? Aren’t you afraid
of dying?”
“Of course I fear death. But even if I fear it,
I can’t keep hiding forever.”
Dustin smiled lightly. “My friend is in
trouble. I can’t just be a coward in the shadows.”
“Being a coward at least means you live. Don’t
want to hide? Then you’re asking for death!” Zeus sneered.
“Who lives and who dies remains to be seen. For
all we know, it might be the two of you who die.” Dustin chuckled.
“Hahahaha…”
Hearing this, Zeus burst into laughter, but his
face turned cold mid-laugh. “Boy, you’re arrogant beyond reason. You think
we’re as weak as that trash Poseidon? I’ll show you what real power looks
like!”
With that, Zeus raised his hand and hurled a
bolt of lightning at Dustin.
Dustin stood still, making no move to dodge.
Just as the lightning was about to strike, a
golden barrier suddenly appeared in front of him.
Boom!
The lightning slammed into the golden light
with a loud explosion.
The bolt vanished without a trace, while the
golden light remained intact.
“Hm?”
Zeus frowned slightly and struck again, firing
off two more lightning bolts.
Still, Dustin didn’t move --- he merely
activated the golden shield again.
Boom! Boom!
Two more explosions echoed.
The lightning shattered, and the golden light
rippled like water, quickly returning to stillness.
“You’ve got some skill, but I want to see if
you can take this next one!”
Zeus stretched out his hand, fingers spread
wide. A sphere of blue lightning quickly formed in his palm.
As Zeus gathered power, the lightning orb grew
--- starting from the size of an egg and soon swelling to the size of a
basketball.
It radiated terrifying energy and destructive
force.
“Take this!”
Zeus hurled the lightning sphere forward.
It shot toward Dustin like a cannonball,
crashing hard into the golden light.
BOOM!!
A massive explosion rocked the entire ancient
temple.
The courtyard was filled with raging lightning,
demolishing the nearby buildings into rubble.
Yet despite the ferocity of the lightning, the
golden barrier remained unshaken, not even a scratch on its surface.
“What?!”
Seeing this, Zeus finally began to lose his
composure.
Even Margaret’s life-bound treasure --- the
Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda --- would tremble under his full-power strikes.
But this golden light shielding Logan Rhys
didn’t even flinch.
What the hell was this?
Could it be some kind of defensive artifact?
“Let me try!”
Sensing the situation wasn’t going well, Hera
stepped forward and unleashed her own attack.
She waved her hand, and suddenly, over a
thousand black ice spears materialized behind her.
These spears were as thick as a child’s arm,
sharp as swords, and radiated an intense chill.
“Go!”
Hera clenched her fist, and the thousands of
black ice spears launched like a raging storm toward Dustin and Margaret.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!…
The countless ice spears struck the golden
light barrier, erupting in a flurry of explosions.
The spears shattered into fragments of energy
and dissipated, while Dustin’s golden shield remained flawless --- smooth as a
mirror.
Watching this, both Zeus and Hera furrowed
their brows in unison.
They had finally realized that Logan Rhys was
not going to be easy to deal with.
Today… they were in for a fierce battle! - Ton
