Chapter 290 Malicious Corruption: The Olympian Gods Losing Their Mind
"Want to run?"
Seeing the starlight emanating from Nyx's palace dress, Zeus chuckled and waved behind him.
"Apollo, it's...dawn..."
As Zeus's majestic voice faded, an intensely hot burst of energy suddenly erupted from the summit of the sacred mountain.
A shirtless blond man moved lightly, seemingly stepping through the air.
He mechanically raised his arm, and the blazing sun's rays instantly eroded the dim night.
However, a struggle seemed to flicker within his empty, lifeless eyes...
Olympus was, after all, an independent divine realm, and naturally it could control the alternation of day and night at will.
Zeus's idea was quite simple: when dawn broke, Nyx would lose the advantage of playing on home ground, and her strange abilities would be rendered useless.
However, he forgot that Nyx was the supreme creator goddess!
"Zeus... your idea is far too naive..."
Having said that, Nyx, who had been walking backward, stretched out his hand and waved it gently. The dense night, enhanced by the laws of darkness, once again appeared in the sky above Olympus.
Gradually, under the collision of the night sky and the blazing sun, it seemed as if a natural barrier had been drawn at the boundary of the Divine Oracle Forest.
Half of it was bathed in the scorching light of the sun, while the other half was shrouded in endless darkness.
"The Darkest Corruption... It seems that after regaining your divine body, your strength has subtly returned to its peak... However, it's still not enough..."
"Hera."
Upon hearing Zeus's summons, Hera, whose eyes were equally empty and lifeless, flew up from the summit of the sacred mountain.
With a flick of her fingertips, a golden mace wrapped in golden light appeared out of thin air in her hand.
Hera mechanically wielded the golden mace in her hand, and as her divine power surged, it transformed into a massive tornado mixed with scarlet light!
The starlight that twinkled in the night sky was deflected by this powerful force, and just after the crimson tornado disappeared into the Forest of Oracles, the divine tree at the border withered instantly.
Upon seeing this, Nyx's face turned icy.
Hera...
Although the Queen's attack was extremely powerful, Nyx had a feeling that the person in front of him was not the Hera he had seen before, as if... she was being controlled!
Just as she was about to test the waters, Li Jie, draped in a dark red cloak, had already charged toward the direction from which the scarlet tornado was coming.
Seeing this, she quickly spoke up to remind him.
“Thanatos’s brother, that is not the real Hera.”
"I know, after all... to catch the thief, you must first catch the king!"
Yes, actually, from the moment Apollo appeared, Li Jie had a feeling that something was wrong.
Both were chief gods of Olympus, so why was Apollo able to react instantly after receiving Zeus's command? Didn't he think about it for a moment?
Hera's side is even more outrageous. While it's true that husband and wife might be of one mind, their understanding shouldn't be this extreme...
They didn't even say what they wanted before they started doing it.
Therefore, Li Jie strongly suspected that the Olympian god-king might have tampered with those wavering gods!
Pulling himself back to his senses, he mobilized the powerful seven-colored true energy within his dantian, and as his sword intent swept across, it resonated with the scarlet tornado.
Li Jie reached out and summoned the Immortal-Slaying Sword from the Sword-Nourishing Gourd. With a flick of his finger, the seven-colored sword light roared away!
The art of cutting the sky and drawing the sword!
Immediately afterwards, he twisted his wrist, gripped the hilt of the sword, and hurled it fiercely at Zeus, who was radiating overwhelming power in mid-air.
Without hesitation, he soared upwards, carrying the crimson tornado unleashed by Hera, and arrived before Zeus in the blink of an eye.
His face was indifferent, and his expression was firm as he looked at the King of Olympus who had fallen into the endless abyss.
He shouted loudly in a voice devoid of any emotion.
"One sword... and even immortals kneel!"
The Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique and the Hundred-Step Flying Sword are used in unison, and the Immortal Kneels with a Sword Infused with the power of Hera's Law!
Three incredibly powerful sword energies, imbued with the might of heaven and earth, struck Zeus's armor, which was wreathed in golden lightning, almost simultaneously.
Li Jie was certain that if Thor, the God of Thunder of Asgard, were to be struck by those three swords, he would be severely injured, if not killed.
But Zeus showed no fear on his face.
"Good sword."
"I know you... Hades' death... is it related to you, isn't it...?"
Zeus smiled gently and transformed the source of evil he had just extracted into an oval-shaped barrier, which he placed in front of him.
Just as the seven-colored sword light touched the viscous black barrier...
The immense power of heaven and earth contained within was almost instantly devoured and digested...
When his first attack failed, Li Jie instantly activated the stealth feature of the Immortal-Slaying Sword and withdrew.
At the same time, a wall of azure water, hundreds of meters high, swept across the direction where Li Jie had just stood.
It was fortunate that Li Jie reacted quickly, otherwise Poseidon, who was hiding in the shadows, would have succeeded.
"That matter...did they find out?"
When Poseidon, holding a trident, appeared in mid-air, he asked Zeus, who had a playful expression, in a low voice.
"Hmm...but it's nothing serious. The two of them can't cause any trouble..."
"The power of mental manipulation is ultimately limited. The gods you control through this method may not be unable to break through that restriction."
"Besides... there's still no news of Athena. If this continues, things might get really bad..."
"Then let's finish this quickly. Once we've dealt with Nyx and that kid from Great Xia... we can move on to the plan..."
"...Whatever you want..."
After hearing Zeus and Poseidon's conversation, Li Jie, who was hiding in the void, turned around and flew back to Nyx's side.
That makes sense now...
Why did I feel strange sensations from Apollo and Hera? It turns out that the gods in Olympus who dared to defy Zeus had all had their minds controlled by him.
"Auntie, things are not looking good."
Upon returning to his original location, Li Jie immediately informed Nix of the information he had learned.
"It seems that Zeus and Poseidon made some kind of agreement with the Cretan gods."
