At the bow of one of the exploration ships, Hu Jia, wearing a black cloak, put down his stone flute and glanced at the three corpses.

"The sub-god who was following us has been dealt with."

On the central exploration ship, a crimson figure hummed.

The next moment, he seemed to have realized something and looked up at the sky. A meteor streaked across the sky and was falling precisely towards his location!

Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly. Without moving a step, he slowly stretched out his hand towards the falling meteor at the bow of the ship...

Boom——!!!

The meteor hit the bow of the ship, but was held tightly by the hands. Most of the terrifying kinetic energy was dissipated by the arm, and the remaining kinetic energy was transmitted to the exploration ship under the feet, causing waves several meters high on the nearby sea!

Tiny white waves were drifting in the storm, and a snow-white long sword was already in his hand.

Looking at the familiar long sword in front of him, Lin Qiye's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Long time no see...old friend."

[Zhan Bai] emitted a sharp buzzing sound, as if responding to Lin Qiye's call, and was extremely excited.

Lin Qiye put it at his waist, and hung it crosswise with another black and gold long sword... That was the supreme sword left by Yuuri Takishiro, [Shen Huo].

One is snow-white, the other is black-gold, emitting a chilling cold light under the dancing crimson cloak.

Lin Qiye raised his eyes and looked in a certain direction in the fog. A murderous intent was brewing with the storm, rumbling.

"Let's go... It's time to destroy the last kingdom of God in the world."

…

Olympus.

Under the blood-red setting sun, two tall armored guards walked out of the palace carrying a muddy body.

"This crazy woman seems to be much quieter today..." One of the guards glanced at the figure in his hand and said in surprise, "Wasn't she quite active the past two days?"

"After being tortured for so many days in a row, I guess you're numb, right?"

"This human is really capable... If it were an ordinary lesser god, she would have been beaten to death long ago, but she is still alive."

"Humph, who told her to say nothing and keep courting death? This is what happens when you anger Lord Hades."

"It looks like she's almost dying. How about you be gentler?"

"No need. We can't get any information out of this woman anyway. There's only one day left before the Da Xia gang arrives. She'll still have to die by then. Anyway, she can get through one day of fighting, right?"

"Too."

The two men walked to the golden birdcage, threw the motionless Xia Simeng into it, locked the door, and turned away.

After they walked away, the members of the Phoenix team immediately rushed to Xia Simeng's side, picked her up from the ground, and seeing the shocking scars on her body, they called out anxiously:

"Captain, Captain?!!"

"What are you shouting about? Are you crying for me?" Xia Simeng opened her eyes and spoke unhappily.

Seeing Xia Simeng wake up, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Captain, how do you feel?" Cao Sha asked with a frown.

"That's it. Their strength is just like tickling me... Okay, okay, make room for me. I need to take a nap first."

Xia Simeng tried to stand up shakily, but lost her balance due to her weakness and crashed into the birdcage. Fortunately, Cao Sha was quick to catch her and slowly brought her to the edge.

"Captain, you..."

"How many people died today?" Xia Simeng interrupted Cao Sha before he could speak.

Cao Sha was silent for a while, but still said truthfully, "About... more than 1,200 people."

“Why so many??”

"Last night, our combined blood could only feed two thousand people... Today, the wind is strong and the temperature has dropped sharply. The remaining four thousand people have not eaten for several days. It is difficult for them to survive. I estimate that after tonight, this number will have to double again."

Xia Simeng lowered his head and sat cross-legged facing the outside of the birdcage, with a complicated expression.

"...I understand. I'll get some sleep first."

Xia Simeng's eyes slowly closed, and her whole body was motionless like an old monk in meditation. As the sunlight disappeared into the mountains, her face also visibly fell into gray...

The sky is overcast tonight and there are no stars.

The howling sound of the wind was heard in the mountains. In the dark birdcages, countless figures were trembling and huddled together, and life passed away silently in the silence.

The members of the Phoenix team sat beside the bird cage, their fists clenched tightly. With the blood of the Phoenix, they could even clearly sense the passing of every life...

When the last ray of light from the Olympus Mountains disappeared, Cao Sha stood up from the darkness, holding a dagger in his hand, and walked silently towards the crowd.

"Vice Captain... count us in."

Several girls walked out of the darkness and spoke firmly.

"Why are you joining in the fun instead of sleeping?" Cao Sha frowned and said, "Get out of the way!"

"Deputy Captain! How many people can you save by yourself? Let's help together. If we can save as many people as possible, that's a good thing!"

"Yeah... the captain is asleep. It will be quicker if we help you."

“…”

The members of the Phoenix team ignored all the advice and insisted on going with Cao Sha. Seeing that he could not persuade them, Cao Sha turned back helplessly to look at the figure sleeping with his back to everyone in front of the bird cage door, and whispered:

"Okay... remember, don't lose too much blood. If the concentration of Phoenix blood in our bodies drops too much at the same time, we won't be able to give blood transfusions to new members in the future. Do you understand?"

"yes!"

Everyone immediately dispersed, moving silently and quickly among the crowd. Just as Cao Sha tiptoed past Xia Simeng's back, a hoarse voice rang out.

"Cao Sha."

Cao Sha was stunned and turned back suddenly, "Captain? You didn't sleep?"

"...I'm awake." The figure with his back to him slowly reached out and pushed a plastic basin filled with blood out in front of him, "Take it..."

The moment he saw the plastic basin, Cao Sha's pupils suddenly contracted. He rushed to Xia Simeng and grabbed her shoulders!

"Xia Simeng!! Are you really going to die?!"

Cao Sha's roar echoed in Xia Simeng's ears, but the figure seemed not to hear it at all. In the dim light, he could not see Xia Simeng's expression, only a weak voice sounded:

"Don't shout...let me...sleep for a while..."

Xia Simeng's head drooped slightly, and the next moment there was no movement. In the dead silence, only the faint sound of his heartbeat could be heard.

Cao Sha opened his mouth, cursing and questioning, but no words came out. He stared blankly at the sleeping figure. After a long time, he trembled and picked up the basin filled with phoenix blood, and staggered towards the crowd...

Under the lightless night sky, the golden characters imprinted above Olympus jumped once again.

--one.
