An Understated Dominance

At this moment, Zeus was utterly consumed by a murderous rage. He felt as if he had been completely played. The only reason he hadn’t acted earlier was because of his obsession with the method of breaking through the limit. But after all this time, it turned out that Margaret was full of lies. The so-called breakthrough method was nothing more than an excuse to stall for time. The more Zeus thought about it, the angrier he became. His killing intent surged. “I may have done this to prolong Logan Rhys’ life, but the method for breaking through is real,” Margaret said calmly, “You should have noticed by now that I’m a disciple of the Celestial Observatory. Across the entire Dragonmarsh, only two people have surpassed the realm of the Ultimate Grandmaster.” “The first is the old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Zhang Xuanji. The second is our own Grand Director of the Celestial Observatory.” “You, as Divine Kings of the Pantheon, should be well aware of this.” “For the ...

“Torture and interrogation may work, but they’re not necessarily the best method.” Margaret remained calm and said, “To be honest, there’s a restriction placed inside my body. As soon as I activate my divine sense, the restriction will explode with immense energy, annihilating everything within a hundred meters --- including myself. If that happens, you won’t get anything --- and you’ll be injured in the process. I believe that’s not the outcome you want. Of course, it’s not something I want either.” The moment those words left her mouth, the smile on Zeus’s face immediately froze. He thought he had Margaret completely under control --- who would’ve expected she still had a hidden trump card? Now, he was momentarily at a loss and couldn’t act too rashly. “Hera, what do you think?” Zeus turned to his companion for her opinion. He was good at fighting and killing, not negotiating. If this were about anything else, he wouldn’t have wasted time talking --- he would’ve j...

“A bunch of ants dare challenge the might of a god? Then all of you can just die!” Zeus sneered coldly. He raised his hand and gathered a sphere of lightning, then flung it into the air. The lightning orb crackled violently, releasing several bolts of blue lightning that rained down upon the surrounding warrior monks. “Stop!” A soft but firm voice rang out. Immediately after, a golden Eight Trigrams symbol suddenly appeared above the heads of the warrior monks. The Eight Trigrams symbol resembled a giant mirror, blocking all the blue lightning bolts. Then with a loud “crack,” it shattered on the spot. The one who intervened was Margaret. Although she had protected the monks from a powerful attack, her aura weakened even more. “Oh? Another expert?” Zeus raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. Though his earlier strike was casual, it was far beyond what ordinary Grandmasters could withstand --- especially someone so young. “Lord Zeus, Lady Hera, I am Princess Marga...

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 ...

After a whole night of continuous bombardment, Zeus and Hera were both drenched in sweat and panting heavily. But the moment they saw a crack appear at the top of the golden pagoda, their spirits were instantly lifted. “Hahahaha… Is it finally going to break? I thought you were truly indestructible!” Zeus couldn't help but burst into laughter. Ever since he became a God King of the Pantheon, he had never struggled so much --- hammering at a pagoda all night long. Though it was exhausting, the result was finally within reach. “For it to withstand us for this long, this pagoda is already impressive enough.” Hera stopped her attack and began to regulate her breath. While her energy consumption wasn’t as intense as Zeus’s, she was still exhausted. Now, at last, it was coming to an end. “Hera! Let’s seize this chance. The two of us will destroy this thing completely!” Though he laughed and though he was tired, Zeus didn’t dare let his guard down. Only by utterly shat...

If Zeus hadn’t spoken up, Hera truly had no intention of making a move --- she was content to just watch the show from the sidelines. But since Zeus had now asked for help, she could no longer stand idly by. Regardless of the situation, Zeus was the leader of the Four God Kings, and she still had to show him some respect. “Let me see just how sturdy this thing really is.” God Queen Hera extended a single hand, her fingers splayed. Behind her, more than a dozen black ice spikes suddenly appeared. Each spike was two meters long, as thick as a wrist, and exuded a bone-chilling cold. Within ten meters around the spikes, frost coated all the grass, stone, and earth. “Go!” Hera suddenly clenched her outstretched hand into a fist. The dozen-plus ice spikes behind her shot out like missiles, all aimed at the golden pagoda ahead. “Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...” The black ice spikes whistled through the air and slammed into the golden pagoda. However, the expected explosions ...

What surprised the God-King Zeus wasn't the sheer strength of the golden pagoda's defense, but the fact that it could absorb attacks. The lightning orb he had just thrown had most of its energy completely devoured by the golden pagoda, causing no substantial damage. This was far more sophisticated than simply resisting energy head-on. It was clear that this golden pagoda was a rare divine artifact. Breaking through it completely would not be easy. However, the more this was the case, the more certain Zeus became that Logan Rhys was hiding within this ancient temple. As long as the golden pagoda was destroyed, he could completely eliminate the hidden threat that was Logan Rhys. “Benefactors, the Seven-Treasure Glazed Pagoda is indestructible. No matter how you attack, you will not break it. I urge you both to cease your pointless efforts and leave the mountain at once!” said the leading middle-aged martial monk. “Hmph! I refuse to believ...
