Chapter 539: The Gods

Chapter 539: Chapter 539: The Gods

Except for a few who had no knowledge of the pantheon of gods and were puzzled by the ancient name, the others, including the elderly Prince Sargeras, were left speechless, their minds blank.

Having Apollo present already made them incredibly tense, but suddenly discovering that the beautiful young woman in Apollo's arms was Artemis, the moon goddess?

So, the "disgraceful siblings" of the Cromwell family were actually gods?!

Despite the solemn nature of such titles, the two involved did not behave in a manner that commanded respect.

Alice paid no mind to the astonished onlookers. As soon as her brother kissed her earlobe, she turned around and wrapped her arms around Stern's neck, returning the kiss passionately.

For a moment, the odd pair made out on the deck of the battleship, the sounds of their wet kisses the only clear noise.

Yang Chen coughed awkwardly, pretending to clear his throat. "Are you two on steroids? Can't you hold off for a bit?"

Alice turned her head, a charming blush on her lovely face. "Hades, the matter is almost settled. Bring the Louis XVI yacht over here, and let's sink this battleship."

At her words, the black-clad men from the "Domain of the Gods" on the battleship were horrified.

Their leader, Daipuni, had been exposed, and the opponents were two genuine gods whom they had no power to resist. They were relieved they hadn't wet themselves in fear. Now, thinking the gods were too preoccupied with their affection to deal with them, they suddenly heard they were going to sink the ship!

Many black-clad men looked terrified. Having witnessed Apollo's formidable power, they had no thoughts of resistance. Their only idea was to escape in the lifeboats!

Watching the scene of chaos, Alice's beautiful eyes showed a hint of boredom. Her bright silver hair fluttered gently in the wind.

A cold blue flash appeared in Alice's eyes, and drastic changes occurred on the destroyer and the surrounding sea!

Starting from over a hundred meters away, the previously rippling sea began to freeze solid, with the sound of grinding gears. The sea surface turned to ice!

A surge of frigid air, seemingly from nowhere, enveloped the entire destroyer in a misty white fog!

Some black-clad men who had just reached the lifeboats began to shiver, their bodies stiffening! They could no longer move normally; their muscles and bodily functions began to shut down, feeling the blood in their veins freeze!

In an instant, the temperature in this area plummeted from a few degrees above freezing to below minus ten, and it continued to drop!

Stern had already created a radiant protective shield to envelop Lin Ruoxi and her son, Harry, shielding them from the extreme cold.

But in unprotected areas, white frost and ice quickly covered everything. As the sea froze, the abundant moisture caused the ship to be encased in ice.

The spreading black ice froze the entire ship at that moment, and every black-clad man became still as if the scene had been paused.

Watching this through the monitor, Sauron, Yun Miao Shitai, Fodessa, and others saw a hundred-meter-long destroyer and the surrounding sea turn into a massive ice sculpture in just a few seconds!

"Ah—"

Yang Chen staggered and nearly fell to the ground. Grasping his head tightly, he barely managed to stay on his feet!

"Lord Hades! Are you okay?!"

"Is that problem acting up again?!"

Several nearby zero leaders noticed Yang Chen's condition and immediately asked with concern. Yang Chen waved his hand to indicate he was fine, his body trembling, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and he panted heavily, "It's probably because I've been killing too frequently and not paying attention to stimulants like alcohol lately, which caused a headache just now. But it's not a big problem. Don't worry."

Yang Chen kept his head down, not daring to look up, knowing that his eyes must be blood red at the moment.

In his mind, countless maddening thoughts were leaping around, the violent emotions making him want to howl at the sky!

Yang Chen had thought that after cultivating the "Wang Nian Yansheng Sutra" to the ninth level, "Wang Sheng," and achieving the perfect state of innate true energy, he could firmly suppress the chronic ailment caused by the divine light in his brain.

However, he realized he had been too complacent!

Since returning from Yingben, he had fought against the people of the Indian Brahma, engaged in an intense battle with the madman Ares, and dealt with the revenge from the Zeng family, among others. He had killed countless people and handled one violent incident after another.

The emotional entanglements with Lin Ruoxi and other women, as well as familial issues with the Yang family, were significant factors stimulating his brain.

In his daily life, he hadn't been as careful as when he first returned home and hadn't abstained from alcohol.

This time, he came to Paris for a vacation, only to encounter the fake Apollo, Daipuni, leading to more fighting and killing. He even used the long-unused "Dance of the Undead" to fiercely battle the Vatican's six-winged angel!

After experiencing these exhilarating events, his old ailment finally resurfaced, unable to be suppressed any longer!

Fortunately, the Wang Nian Yansheng Sutra was extremely powerful, allowing him to barely control his brain and avoid falling into a frenzy of slaughter like before.

However, Yang Chen had no confidence that he could suppress it if the headache recurred. From his experience, he knew that if this happened frequently, each episode would be worse than the last!

Suddenly, Yang Chen remembered something and fished out a small medicine bottle from his pants pocket.

Breathing a sigh of relief, he was glad he still had the special medicine made by Jane. Although he knew that the more he took it, the less effective it would become, he had no choice but to take it.

He took out one pill and swallowed it, using a bit of energy to help digest it. Only then did he feel the redness in his eyes recede.

Everyone noticed Yang Chen's abnormal state but didn't dare disturb him, quietly observing.

Yang Chen finally looked up, revealing a bitter smile. "Don't look at me like I'm a gorilla, and don't wonder what's wrong with me. I don't want to talk about it. Alright, I need to examine Daipuni's body. Everyone, let's return to the yacht and set sail for home!"
