Chapter 281 The God of War is greatly shocked
Faced with Li Muyang's answer, Ares nodded as if he had suddenly realized something. Just as expected! He then explained, "It's nothing. The reason we gave you divine protection is simply because we discovered something special about you that we couldn't see through, and we wanted to establish a good relationship with you."
Well, they have plenty of divine power in this world, so naturally they don't care about this little bit. They've already given it away, so they've given it away.
"And what about Diana?" Li Muyang continued to press.
Ares paused for a moment before replying, "I think you can understand; it's similar to Hercules' trial."
Sure enough, it wasn't all actors, but it was a pre-arranged drama, a kind of publicity stunt to give Diana a similar fate, weight, and status.
After Li Muyang and Ares asked and answered questions one by one, they finally understood the situation.
The Olympian gods had no connection to Li Muyang's encounter. They simply saw Li Muyang emerge from Paradise Island, possessing divine power that bore the mark of their Olympians, yet it was not their divine power. Naturally, they were curious and, driven by an unwillingness to admit defeat, bestowed their divine power upon him.
The name "God of Fun" truly lives up to its name, a man who doesn't do his job properly.
“As for my sister… hehe, it was nothing more than our rebellion against our predetermined fate.” Ares explained with a melancholy expression, “Your Highness should also know that our world is in a state of gradual decay, therefore, our world has actually been rebooted several times.”
"The memories of the previous cycles are still sealed in our minds. According to these memories, this should be the ninth cycle of the world, and also the last one. If we can get through it, then there is a glimmer of hope, and the world will have a chance to return to its former glory. If we cannot get through it... then everything will be over!"
"We don't have such grand dreams. We can't be of much help in things like protecting the world. We can only do our own thing and try to find a glimmer of hope in this situation."
"At the very least, we don't want the Olympian pantheon to end. From Hercules to the eldest son, and then to Diana, they were all just attempts to find a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, we have never succeeded."
Li Muyang pondered for a moment and then asked, "When you talk about reincarnation and restarting, do you only refer to memories of the past?"
Ares said with a wry smile, "Your Highness, you overestimate us. For a world-ending catastrophe like this, the fact that we gods, who rely on the world's authority and faith, can retain a memory for the next cycle is already thanks to the assistance of a great being."
"As far as I know, only a few of your top gods in the East have a chance to preserve it more completely. They are in a state of immortality and indestructibility. The great destruction of the world has little impact on them. They are beyond the world and are truly free! But at the same time, they are working hard for our world, just hoping that the world can overcome the crisis."
Okay, Li Muyang understood. The Eastern pantheon in their own world held the greatest dominance.
Ares and the other pantheons were actually created by the Demon Ancestor and the Demon Realm. Although their purpose is unclear, it is highly likely that it was to create and increase the weight of fate.
To find out the specifics, you'd probably have to ask your own older sister to see if she knows the hidden reasons. The people involved certainly don't know.
Having cleared up his doubts, Li Muyang decided not to bother them any longer and left!
But Ares wasn't about to let Li Muyang off so easily.
"Your Highness, would you be interested in exchanging a few blows?" Ares asked eagerly. "Don't worry! I won't use my true form! It's just that dealing with these cunning and despicable humans in politics lately has made my head spin! I feel like I'm going to turn into the God of Peace if this keeps up!"
"I feel that your human thinking is sometimes really too radical! I like fighting and war, not endless madness! This is just getting carried away by short-term gains!"
Successful words silenced Li Muyang; the God of War had criticized humanity for being too radical... Fine.
"I have no objection to a few moves... but... aren't you worried that we'll damage your body?" Li Muyang said casually, looking at Ares's current body. He could tell that this was just an avatar he had created using a little divine power.
Overall, its strength is only slightly stronger than Diana's fully awakened state.
Ares smiled slightly, extended his hand, and explained, "Unexpected situations did occur during previous reincarnations, so we've taken extra precautions just to be on the safe side!"
To Li Muyang's astonishment, several orbs of divine power of varying degrees appeared before him. It was clear that they were very well prepared; this divine power was enough to create several avatars of different strengths! They had everything!
So... Diana's victory over Ares was probably just an epic trial.
Perhaps because of Li Muyang's words, "Don't break it," Ares pointed directly at the strongest ball of divine power. Instantly, he himself transformed into a ball of divine power and put it away, while the strongest divine power transformed into a clone.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Your Highness." Ares's smile hadn't stopped since the beginning, it was so meaningful and he was really looking forward to stretching his muscles!
However, we still need to hold back a bit. This prince seems to still be at the mortal level. We shouldn't inflict any psychological trauma on him.
Quite confident!
As he spoke, a divine power enveloped the two of them from behind. Li Muyang observed intently, noticing that this seemed to be a divine power domain condensed from divine power. In the blink of an eye, the two appeared in a retro-styled ancient Roman Colosseum.
What left Li Muyang even more dumbfounded was the group of people in the audience... to be precise, they were gods.
It seems that all the named gods of Olympus are present.
"You all knew beforehand that I was coming to see you?" Li Muyang asked with a troubled expression. These gods were indeed not simple! This fuss was almost embarrassing!
Zeus, in the main seat, laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Your Highness, rest assured, I have only seen one possibility, and made a judgment on the development of the situation. With your weight of destiny, no one in this world can interfere with your fate."
What else could he say? Li Muyang flicked his hand, summoned the Shennong Ruler, and grinned: "Then let's not waste any more words! Please enlighten me, Your Majesty Ares."
"Perfect timing! From the divine power bestowed upon me by you all, I happen to have some unique insights that I need to integrate through actual combat!"
"Ha! Just what I wanted!" Ares laughed loudly, summoning his greatsword and clashing with Li Muyang.
After a long time...
Ares and Li Muyang returned to the jazz's room. Ares resumed his elegant and amiable old gentleman demeanor as when they first met, and Li Muyang also looked no different from when they first met.
"Then I'll take my leave now." Li Muyang bowed politely and said goodbye to Ares, who was smiling and waving.
Watching Li Muyang disappear without a trace, Ares's smile vanished instantly, his face turning pale. He hurriedly summoned two orbs of divine power and swallowed them, which restored his complexion considerably. He looked as if he had truly aged, and he pounded his aching back with one hand.
"By Chaos... what kind of mortal is this!"
He had no doubt that even if his true form were here, he wouldn't have the chance to kill Li Muyang!
With energy reserves far exceeding those of the Nascent Soul realm, Ares even suspected that Li Muyang might be supported by a world within him. Perhaps even another god would be comparable, not to mention the power of chaos... The Olympian gods might even suspect that Li Muyang might be the reincarnation of Chaos.
No, even Chaos back then didn't wield the power of chaos as skillfully as Li Muyang does now!
Chaos, the ancient Greek god of chaos, was also considered a creator god, similar to Pangu in the Eastern pantheon.
As for who is stronger, Li Muyang estimates that Pangu is definitely stronger in this world, but Chaos must also possess the power of chaos, though he doesn't know to what extent.
Those who possess the knowledge of the ancient Greek pantheon, such as the twelve Olympian gods, naturally have an understanding of Chaos, their legendary creator god. However, Chaos can only wield the power of chaos. It is extremely difficult to use the power of chaos to evolve all things. At the very least, the power of chaos must be converted into a lower level of energy before it can be used for evolution.
Although Li Muyang's quantity was incomparable, he was incredibly adept at using the power of chaos! He skipped the step of evolving the power of chaos into other attribute energies and could directly achieve the desired effect, in addition to the power of heaven and earth.
It can be said that whether inside or outside the world, or in any world, Li Muyang's overall combat power will not be greatly affected.
Simultaneously mastering the power of chaos and the power of heaven and earth, what kind of monster has the East created?!
Even Zeus seriously doubted whether this was a new plan devised by those people in the East. Similar to how they nurtured Heracles, their eldest son, and Diana, but these methods were a bit too outrageous! Could this really be a monster that their own world could create?
However, recalling the telepathic message Li Muyang left him before leaving, Zeus smiled slightly, indicating that it was worth it!
They weren't really sure what constituted a successful upbringing, but based on past experience, whether it was Hercules, the eldest son, or Diana, they were all products of failure yet also of success.
Failure is the ultimate outcome of failing to break the cycle of the world restarting, while success is the successful continuation of the Olympian legacy, which has never been interrupted.
But Li Muyang's new ideas led Diana down the path of a new goddess... Zeus suddenly realized that this seemed to be a choice they had never tried before.
This is their final cycle. If they fail again, they will have nowhere to retreat. Repeating the previous cycle is a dead end. Since they have no ideas anyway, they might as well try the advice of this Eastern inheritor.
It might have a miraculous effect!
