Bang!
With a sharp crack, Zeus ripped off Hephaestus's right arm.
"ah!"
Hephaestus let out a painful cry.
It was this sound that immediately drew everyone's attention.
"What's going on? Why is Zeus attacking his own people? Are the twelve Olympian gods of the northern seas fighting amongst themselves?"
"Tch, what do you know? I heard these gods are all vying for a supreme artifact. Poseidon tried to stop Hephaestus so Zeus could get the supreme artifact, but Poseidon was completely defeated. Zeus was furious, and then..."
"I see."
After hearing the whole story, everyone suddenly understood.
Then he cast a look of pity at Hephaestus.
Look at you, of all people to mess with, you had to mess with Zeus's companion. Aren't you just asking for death?
"ah!"
Another scream rang out as Hephaestus's left leg was also broken. At this point, he was only able to maintain his balance by missing his left leg and right hand.
"Zeus, Zeus, spare me! I won't fight you for the supreme artifact anymore."
Hephaestus knelt down and pleaded.
At this moment, he was the complete opposite of the arrogant and domineering Vulcan he had been not long ago.
They were beaten so badly.
"You treated Poseidon the same way before, didn't you?"
Zeus said without emotion.
"I was being impulsive, please spare me, Zeus, I can be your servant."
Hephaestus said sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Zeus actually stopped and questioned, "Are you serious?"
"Of course, of course, I swear on my divine status."
Seeing that there was hope, Hephaestus quickly assured him.
The divine essence is the core of a god, and Hephaestus was truly willing to pay any price to survive.
Zeus sneered and said indifferently, "Heh, I don't need a piece of trash as my servant, so you might as well die."
He raised his right hand and directly summoned the divine artifact: Thunder.
Zeus's hands were wreathed in purple lightning; if he placed them on Hephaestus's head, the latter would surely die.
"Damn Zeus, you forced me to do this."
Hephaestus growled.
"If you have any last words, say them quickly, or you won't have the chance later."
Zeus said coldly, showing that he didn't take Hephaestus seriously at all.
Poseidon was Zeus's most loyal companion, yet this damned fellow dared to severely injure him right before his eyes.
Unforgivable.
"Apollo, I am willing to offer my soul and be your most loyal servant, just to save my life."
Hephaestus suddenly roared.
He knew that with the appearance of the supreme artifact, Apollo would be nearby.
Hephaestus was taking a gamble, betting that Apollo would need him to be his servant.
"Ha, Apollo can save you?"
Zeus said indifferently, with great disdain.
As far as he knew, Apollo and Hephaestus were gods of the same rank, but the latter couldn't defeat him, while Apollo could.
That's too naive.
"Oh, Zeus, release them! I'll pretend none of this ever happened."
Suddenly, a low sigh came from the void, and then everyone present witnessed an unbelievable scene.
A golden carriage suddenly appeared from the distant sky, and inside sat a giant clad in orange armor.
This giant's demeanor was completely different from Zeus's, yet he was able to stand on equal footing with him.
The golden chariot stopped in mid-air, and the giant jumped down from it, his figure almost the same size as Zeus.
Apollo in its second phase!
An existence on par with Zeus!
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
Two Zeus-like beings, capable of easily crushing the first-stage gods, have appeared here!
"Apollo, so you've also entered the second stage. No wonder you dare to be so arrogant in front of me."
Zeus narrowed his eyes and said calmly.
But the tone was dangerous.
Apollo will be the biggest obstacle to his ascension to the position of the true king of the gods.
Avdia had already added Apollo to his kill list in his mind.
"Just lucky."
Apollo said with a forced smile, but there was no hint of wishful thinking in his words.
"I knew this guy's strength was unfathomable, but I didn't expect him to be this fierce."
Li Changge said in surprise.
"Um."
Park Ji-hyun nodded seriously.
Neither of the two deities before him was someone he was confident he could defeat.
"Let him go, consider it a favor I owe you."
Apollo laughed.
"snort."
Zeus flicked his sleeve and kicked Hephaestus away, who screamed again.
This was a kick from Zeus with 20% added power, enough to give the dying Hephaestus a real beating.
"It seems like a fight is unlikely."
Everyone was very disappointed.
They were all eager to see how the survivors fought in the second phase.
Unfortunately, we can't watch it today.
"The show is over, the warm-up is done, it's our turn to take the stage."
Li Changge twisted his neck and was the first to rush out.
Park Ji-hyun didn't say anything, just glanced at Li Changge who rushed forward, and then followed him out.
The final battle is about to begin.
"Hey, you two second-stage deities, have you forgotten about me?"
Beside the orb of light, a purple-clad woman appeared, now holding the orange orb containing the supreme artifact.
“Athena, I didn’t expect the legacy of the goddess of wisdom to have appeared. Interesting, very interesting. But this supreme artifact must be mine.”
Zeus's form shrank instantly and plunged down.
