Chapter 197 The Core
"Teacher Ares??"
Lu Yi looked at the person sitting on the sofa with surprise.
This surprise immediately turned into an inexplicable emotion, causing Lu Yi to raise his eyebrows and smile: "It seems that a long time has passed since Teacher Ares left the academy without saying goodbye. I wonder how Teacher Ares has been doing recently?"
Ares smiled calmly, "It hasn't been that long, has it? Didn't we meet briefly in the Elf Forest last time..."
Lu Yi looked into his obsidian eyes and faintly read some flattering meaning in them.
The anger he felt for her leaving without saying goodbye had mostly disappeared, but he still said sarcastically, "Really? Teacher Ares came and went in a hurry. I thought it was an illusion."
"No, Lu Yi." Ares said seriously, "I didn't leave without saying goodbye on purpose. I just had to act out of urgency."
Take emergency measures?
For a high and mighty god, what else could be called an urgent matter?
Lu Yi cast a doubtful look.
Ares did not argue, but lowered his eyes, took Lu Yi's hand, and guided his magic power into his body.
The magic power meandered along this gentle guidance, and Lu Yi's expression changed accordingly.
“Are you hurt??”
If it weren't for the fact that he could sense it with his own magic, Lu Yi would have thought that Ares was deliberately pretending to be pitiful.
At this moment when the gods are falling, who else can hurt the main god?
But no matter how unbelievable this incident was, it really happened.
"Who is it?" Lu Yi asked with a frown.
Ares still had a smile on his face, as if the chaotic magic in his body was no longer himself.
Instead, he comforted Lu Yi and said, "It's okay, Lu Yi, it's just some minor injuries."
Compared to the injuries suffered by Mios, this one on him was indeed a minor injury.
With just a human clone, he was able to fight against the gods. Not only did he not fall into disadvantage at all, but he made the gods flee in panic. Only an extremely powerful god of war like Ares could achieve such a result.
But Lu Yi was not aware of the twists and turns involved. He only saw the chaotic magic and Ares' indifferent attitude.
So Lu Yi's eyes were filled with more anger, "How can this be considered a minor injury?"
"…Did you take any medicine?"
Ares shook his head very honestly.
He really enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by Lu Yi, and once again quietly stirred up the magic power in his body.
Lu Yi stared at his face, which was visibly turning pale, in horror.
Even the situation where Ares was originally holding Lu Yi's hand now became Lu Yi taking the initiative to hold Ares' hand.
Lu Yi didn't care about being angry anymore, and almost subconsciously mobilized the healing magic. Even though he realized the next second that his magic power might be just a drop in the bucket for Ares, he still pursed his lips and continued.
Ares silently tightened his hand and stared intently at his trembling eyelashes.
"Teacher Ares, can you tell me who it is now?" Lu Yi asked with a straight face.
Ares looked up at the slave who had no sense of existence in the corner, and Lu Yi realized at this time that he had forgotten something.
Obviously, the priorities of the two are completely incomparable. Lu Yi frowned slightly and shouted to the servant to take the slave away.
The slave, who had not made any noise during the entire process, followed the servant away in extreme silence.
From beginning to end, his eyes were only on the corner of the noble young man's clothes.
When only Lu Yi and Ares were left in the hall, Lu Yi asked again: "Who hurt Teacher Ares?"
Ares' eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly: "You know I don't like you calling me teacher."
Lu Yi asked again and again without any results, and he was also a little angry, and said: "Didn't Mr. Ares want to be my godfather teacher?"
Ares stopped talking, lowered his head slightly, rubbed Lu Yi's forehead with his own, and whispered: "...I don't like you being mean to me even more."
The anger that Lu Yi had been holding in suddenly disappeared completely, and he became a little at a loss.
He has always been soft-hearted and not tough. In the past, Ares was three points tough, but he can be ten points tough.
But now that Ares was showing weakness, he didn't know how to respond.
[“857, I think he has changed. He wasn’t like this before.”] Lu Yi murmured, [“Did he secretly read some random dating guide?”]
857 was probably afraid that Ares would know his existence, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't reply.
Lu Yi didn't want an answer, so he just said it casually and didn't follow up.
He sighed softly inwardly, his forehead still resting against Ares's, but his hands cupped his cheeks.
"Ares."
As he wished, he whispered his name, his unique divine taboo.
"Call me again, Lu Yi." Ares requested.
Lu Yi's hand was placed on his cheek, and his fingertips touched his ears like a dragonfly skimming the water, but it created ripples in his heart.
"I haven't heard you call me for a long time." Ares said softly, "Even when you were in danger in the Elf Forest, you never called me."
He had promised him refuge, but he had not been called.
Every time, He took the initiative to run towards him with unstoppable favoritism and protection.
Lu Yi was speechless.
He couldn't defend himself.
At that moment it certainly did not occur to him to ask Ares for help.
Lu Yi has long been accustomed to keeping everything firmly in his own hands, including dealing with dangers and disasters.
Maybe he actually knew it well.
One thing after another, Ares always appears in time when he needs him.
But no matter how many times this kind of protection and preference occurred, Lu Yi always classified it as an accident, unwilling to lose what he thought was the initiative.
Everything is changing, but the power and sovereignty that one holds will not change.
Whether it was yesterday or today, Lu Yi always believed this firmly.
So he couldn't defend himself.
The look in Ares' eyes made him unable to speak the coaxing words that he usually uttered casually.
Lu Yi could only maintain an awkward silence.
Their foreheads were pressed tightly together, but their hearts were separated by an unknown distance.
Ares sighed in his heart and gave in, "Next time, at least call my name first, okay?"
"Okay." Lu Yi answered seriously.
Ares's eyes once again showed a smile.
"It's Mios. I was away some time ago and he went to fight with him." Ares took the initiative to say.
"He was quiet in the God Mountain in the past, but when he came to Isaiah Continent, he came up with a lot of bold ideas."
Mios?
Lu Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of the incident he had seen while in the vest.
The orc royal family's misfortune was instigated by Mios, and the epidemic was also instigated by Mios. The unknown meeting under the dark curtain, the fanatical believers who covered their faces with cloaks...
These are just the things Lu Yi knows. There must be more plots hidden in places he can't see.
“What does He want to do?”
"It's nothing more than dominating the Isaiah continent and the God Mountain." Ares said nonchalantly, "Maybe there's also a chance to resurrect Chaos."
Lu Yi was slightly stunned, "I originally thought that the relationship between them was not good."
Seeing Lu Yi’s interest, Ares patiently explained, “When they were in the sacred mountain, their relationship was not very good.
"But for gods with endless lives, a bad relationship is also a good relationship. Mios and Chaos were born in an embrace, and their positions and godhoods are also inseparable. How can such a bond be easily severed by life and death?
"As long as Mios survives, Chaos still has a chance to be resurrected."
"Resurrection?" Lu Yi repeated.
Ares nodded, "I know you have some connection with Chaos, but you don't have to think about resurrecting Him.
"Chaos doesn't want to live, so there's no point in resurrecting him." He also didn't want Lu Yi's attention to be diverted.
Lu Yi was speechless, but the scenes of his brief encounters with Chaos emerged in front of his eyes.
The Supreme God has a sensitive and compassionate love, but the ultimate pure white light burns with His own vitality.
When his energy was exhausted and his remaining light was extinguished, he peacefully stepped into the best ending he had chosen for himself.
"I know." Lu Yi whispered, "The Lord of Light once told me that, although I can't completely empathize with him, I can feel it to some extent."
Although the contact time was brief, Chaos left a deep impression on Lu Yi.
He was both a teacher and a friend to him, so he felt the same sorrow as His.
"I'm glad you understand."
Ares said, touching Lu Yi's head.
"But no matter what, it was you who killed the God of Light. Doesn't Mios hate you to death?"
Ares sneered, "Hate me?
"There are so many gods who hate me to the core. Some of them are forever buried in Ragnarok, while others live in eternal slumber. I just don't know whether He wants to be the former or the latter."
"So you want to kill Him?" Lu Yi suddenly became excited.
He had a grudge against Mios and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Ares was stuck, and said unhappily, "I can't do it."
"Ah? Why can't I do it?"
"There are rules and restrictions. You can't get the throne and godhood for free." Ares shook his head.
"I don't quite understand." Lu Yi said in confusion, "If the rules restrict you gods, then why can Mios do whatever he wants in the Isaiah continent, but you have to be restricted."
"This is related to the core of the gods. The main power of most gods comes from the sacred mountain, so they are restricted by the rules of the world. After Mios fell in Ragnarok, he relied on a remnant soul hidden in the Isaiah continent to condense the power of faith and regenerate.
"Strictly speaking, He is not only the original main god of the sacred mountain, but also a new god born from the Isaiah continent itself."
"So He is almost not restricted in the Isaiah continent?" Lu Yi concluded.
“Yes.” Ares nodded. “Even if I kill Him again, I can only kill the part of Him that belongs to the sacred mountain. As for the part that comes from the Isaiah continent, I can only suppress it repeatedly. Only the existence of the Isaiah continent can completely kill this part.”
Lu Yi nodded thoughtfully.
Ares said meaningfully: "Maybe the person who can do this is right in front of me."
"Really?" Lu Yi pretended to be stupid.
"Light and darkness are mutually exclusive. If one possesses both at the same time, even if all the gods of the entire sacred mountain were added together, they would not be able to resist it for even a moment."
Lu Yi blinked and asked, "Even the God of Slaughter is not allowed?"
"Not even the God of Slaughter."
