"Spiritual Awakening Island?!"

Standing at the wall of Border City No. 2 in the He Clan Battle Zone, Lin Yi suddenly stared intently at Hojo Takeshi:

"Are you sure he’ll be there?"

However, facing Lin Yi’s doubt, Hojo Takeshi remained calm and said:

"There is a Divine Shrine of Amaterasu on Spiritual Awakening Island, and beneath the shrine, there’s a secret passage leading to the depths beneath the Spiritual Awakening Volcano."

"He took me there once."

"I’m not sure if he’ll be there, but I think this is the only information I can offer you."

Sensing the genuine emotions from Hojo Takeshi that didn’t seem feigned, Lin Yi suddenly said:

"Miss Kyoko, what do you think?"

Then, under Hojo Takeshi’s astonished gaze, Mari Kyoko slowly appeared by his side.

The surrounding He Clan players were shocked as if they had seen a ghost when Mari Kyoko revealed herself, quickly going on high alert.

What startled them was that not a single person knew when Mari Kyoko had appeared there.

If Mari Kyoko had launched a sneak attack just now, then... some players instantly felt a chill down their spines, gasping for air.

Hojo Takeshi also immediately recognized Mari Kyoko, but what shocked him was that her Battle Zone ID had changed to [Hua Country]:

"Miss Kyoko, why do this?"

Hojo Takeshi couldn’t understand why Mari Kyoko changed her Battle Zone, especially to one opposing the He Clan.

Showing herself, Mari Kyoko didn’t answer Hojo Takeshi’s question but instead looked at Lin Yi:

"Do you know what’s hidden beneath Mount Fuji?"

This question left Lin Yi stunned:

"What is it?"

Not only Lin Yi but even Hojo Takeshi was also utterly perplexed, confused.

Mount Fuji is regarded as the Holy Mountain of the He Clan Battle Zone, which Hojo Takeshi knew well.

It’s said that the Snake of Calamity (Orochi) was nurtured and born from there.

Unfortunately, this only manifested ancient god of the He Clan Battle Zone was directly slain by Lin Yi.

Thinking of this, Hojo Takeshi looked complexly at the man in front of him.

Yesterday, the Demon Race’s city conquest was thanks to him that it was defended.

If he hadn’t killed Orochi, perhaps yesterday’s city defense wouldn’t have been so passive.

With this back-and-forth, Hojo Takeshi now didn’t know what attitude to take towards Lin Yi.

While Hojo Takeshi’s thoughts were a mess, Mari Kyoko slowly spoke out a massive secret that shocked Hojo Takeshi to his core.

"The true form of the Yellow Springs God, representing reincarnation, is sealed beneath Mount Fuji!"

Upon hearing this, Hojo Takeshi’s expression changed dramatically:

"What!"

...

...

"Samson!!!"

A voice filled with murderous intent suddenly echoed in a magma-filled space:

"Die."

A ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind Samson.

Then, a scroll unfolded behind Samson, with Tianci’s ferociously stretched hand passing through the scroll, a sharp dagger aimed straight for Samson’s nape:

"Canglan Break"

Tianci’s series of moves were seamless, as quick as lightning.

If it were an ordinary person, they likely wouldn’t have reacted before their body was pierced.

However, this seemingly sure-kill strike from Tianci was countered by Samson, who simply snorted coldly without even turning his head:

"Ridiculous Chosen One."

Then, at the moment the dagger was about to pierce Samson’s skin, not even moving half a step, Tianci was swatted away by Samson’s fleshy wing that flapped over:

"Slap!"

"-500451"

Under that massive impact, Tianci was directly slapped into the magma below.

The scalding lava instantly swallowed Tianci, turning into a blazing flame.

At this moment, a trace of contempt and disdain flashed across Samson’s face:

"Overestimating yourself."

Before the sound stopped, Red Eyes suddenly burst forth from a blind spot in Samson’s vision.

In the void, Red Eyes transformed into an elusive shadow, with dozens of Red Eyes’ images simultaneously attacking Samson:

"Shadowless Infinite·Bloodthirst"

The dagger in Red Eyes’ hand was glazed with a layer of crimson energy, exuding endless cold glow.

Just as the dozens of ’shadows’ of Red Eyes were about to strike, Samson suddenly acted:

"Slap!"

Red Eyes looked at his captured wrist in shock, while the dozens of shadows disappeared the instant Red Eyes was controlled.

Before Red Eyes could recover from the shock, Samson lifted and hurled him towards the blazing magma.

However, as Samson grabbed Red Eyes, several arrows imbued with a frenzied momentum were already flying towards Samson’s face.

If Samson insisted on killing Red Eyes at this moment, he would have to take these attacks head-on.

Ultimately, Samson chose to release Red Eyes instantly and disappear from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Zhan Chen.

Samson punched Zhan Chen in the abdomen; though Zhan Chen predicted and tried to dodge,

unfortunately, the gap in their abilities was too wide.

Even realizing the danger was futile for Zhan Chen.

Because Samson’s actions were swifter than Zhan Chen’s reactions:

"Boom~"

"-600145"

The punch sent Zhan Chen flying, slamming him against the mountain wall, and finally, he fell powerless, with scorching magma below.

Just as Zhan Chen was about to fall into the magma and be engulfed, a shadow swept by.

Red Eyes grabbed Zhan Chen’s arm and quickly landed on a protrusion unaffected by the magma some distance away.

Upon landing, Red Eyes panted heavily, supporting his knees.

Seeing his own remaining Life Value, Zhan Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said:

"Thanks."

In fact, Red Eyes wasn’t in a much better condition than Zhan Chen, and without the arrows Zhan Chen fired earlier, Red Eyes would have been engulfed by the magma by now.

At this moment, Tianci, who had fallen into the magma and died, reappeared on one of the protruding rocks.

Despite having his Life Value emptied and dying, Tianci didn’t resurrect at the nearest Divine Hall like a normal player but continued to revive within this dark volcanic realm.

However, the three of them weren’t surprised by this, as they had already tried using death as a means to escape when first captured.

Yet each attempt ended in failure.

Even when they resurrected, they could only return to this area, unable to leave a single step.

Revived, Tianci leaped to Red Eyes and Zhan Chen, full of helplessness and frustration:

"This guy is too strong, completely out of our league."

Hearing Tianci’s complaint, Samson burst out laughing:

"I told you from the start."

"I am the greatest god in this world."

"Hahahaha~"

At this moment, Zhan Chen suddenly sensed something unusual:

"I have a really bad feeling."

Then he said:

"If you sense anything wrong, force a logout immediately."

However, Samson’s face turned ferocious as he said:

"Thinking of leaving now?"

"Too late!!"
