"This is the end, Cult Master Luo Hao."

That voice, like the soft moonlight, filled with a cold tone in its tenderness, yet merely hearing it made one feel a bone-chilling coldness.

"Please retreat. The King I await does not intend to entangle with you."

Those were the heroic spirits of tenderness, or rather, the disobedient gods of the past. Athena, she who was given this name by people, symbolized darkness, the Underworld, night, struggle, death, harvest, and wisdom. This young girl was precisely such a deity. Even if she had already lost all her divinity and authority, she was absolutely not an opponent that could be easily defeated.

At this moment, even more eye-catching, was the figure lying on the ground. It was a young man, dressed in tattered Tang attire, stained with fresh blood. A huge wound stretched across his body, and the sheer amount of bleeding alone was enough for an ordinary fatal injury.

But he was different. That was a martial artist, a wielder of arts, and one who possessed divine power. At this moment, his firm body still showed faint undulations. Such an injury, for an art wielder, could instantly be recovered. However, a black aura was entwining itself around this young man. That was the aura of death, emanating from Athena's divine power.

"What? My disciple was defeated by your hand just like that?"

Luo Hao slightly raised her eyebrows, a hint of fierce light involuntarily flashing in her eyes.

"He is no weakling; he is not an opponent who can be easily defeated. Did you use some kind of trickery, otherwise, why would the victor be decided so quickly?"

She spoke lightly, her voice truly devoid of any emotion.

"Indeed, he is merely a humble trickster not worth mentioning. Of course, I hope you can call him a manifestation of wisdom."

Athena responded lightly, but her words carried a hint of tenderness.

"What? What is your intention? To retreat, or to remain an enemy of the King I await?"

She said this, carrying an incomparable chill, and the cold meaning within her words directly struck at Luo Hao's heart.

"Not bad, not bad."

Luo Hao responded lightly, a hint of approval appearing on her face.

"For now, I'll appreciate your wisdom. As for my disciple's defeat and this victory, I will come back for them another time."

With a slight glance at Lu Feng, who was already on the verge of death, she involuntarily showed a faint look of distress. Even looking at the already poised Persephone and Athena, coupled with Gilgamesh, she clearly understood the disadvantage of the battle.

Luo Hao heavily lifted Lu Feng, then casually tore him into the air. Dense divine power entwined around him, followed by a shattered world. The next moment, the girl in white Hanfu also vanished without a trace.

"So, if you do this, I suppose you also realize this King's fury, Athena?"

Gilgamesh said lightly, her words tinged with coldness.

"This King did not let you act so presumptuously."

The golden armor once again transformed into a black motorcycle suit. Even though the clothes were somewhat shabby, they still displayed a unique kind of beauty on Gilgamesh's body.

"Please calm your anger, King."

Athena responded lightly, her words devoid of any trace of respect. Even though she belonged to Gilgamesh's subordinates, she did not show the slightest hint of humility. This young girl was also like this, but indeed, she was also thinking for Gilgamesh.

"Isn't your goal to kill that disobedient old man who attempted to deceive the King, Cult Master Luo Hao? Even if she is an enemy, isn't it better to eliminate her now?"

She spoke so softly and gently, but the coldness in her words remained unwavering.

"Precisely so. Please put away your anger first, and it would be wise to deal with that cunning disobedient god first."

As she said this, the young girl gently stroked the silver hair near her forehead, revealing a hint of distress.

"After all, you're about to go to the Underworld. There's no need to waste too much strength here, right?"

Listening to such advice, Gilgamesh couldn't help but say with contempt.

"For now, I'll pardon your disrespect. Then, prepare the path to the Underworld, Athena."

The corners of Athena's mouth involuntarily lifted, carrying a mischievous smile.

"No, please wait. This, isn't it good spoils of war?"

The slender finger pointed at a young girl named Annelise. At this moment, this god was once again heavily injured.

"Whether to kill her and incorporate her into the Land of the Dead, or to make her submit and transform her into a heroic spirit, either way, she's good combat power, isn't she?" Gilgamesh said lightly.

"It seems she was abandoned by Luo Hao. But what use is such combat power anyway..." As he said this, he lightly kicked the heavily injured young girl. Light dust diffused and rushed towards this 'disobedient snake,' filling the young girl's vision. Immediately following, a dazzling crimson light erupted.

A moment later, it was still that towering mountain peak. At this moment, the brilliant sea of flowers had already receded, revealing corpses strewn everywhere. Perhaps there were innocent tourists, perhaps there were witches and priests of this land, but more often than not, they were the ashes of law-abiding citizens.

"Truly a mess."

Gilgamesh lightly commented on the purgatory-like scene, then gave an order to the heroic knights who had just emerged.

"Seek that path, that path leading to the Underworld!"

Upon hearing such a command, the heroic knights immediately rushed without hesitation towards the already dilapidated shrine.

A moment later, a knight in silver armor appeared behind Gilgamesh.

"Your Majesty, the passage to the Underworld has been destroyed. It was probably some kind of explosive, not the handiwork of the Five Sacred Mountains Sect." Paul said this calmly, his words carrying a hint of fury.

"Is that so? Then, the Historical Compilation Committee, they truly are damnable old rats."

Saying this, Gilgamesh involuntarily squinted his crimson eyes, which held an incomparable murderous intent.

"Does this subordinate need to go and negotiate, to see if they perhaps have other hidden paths to the Underworld?" Paul Brandly said this, bowing his head respectfully.

"No, no need."

The golden king said this, the corners of his mouth curling into a dangerous smile.

"Since that's the case, then let them hand over the path to the Underworld themselves."

As he said this, he lightly raised his hand in the void. The next moment, a golden ripple slowly spread.

From the swirling ripple, golden long knives appeared, a total of two. He lightly caught the two long knives. Gilgamesh couldn't help but smile faintly.

"I hope their reaction can be a little faster, otherwise, this island will have no place for this King to stand."
