Chapter 1301: Desperate Survival
Human Enclosure.
In the center of the barren city, the towering cathedral reflected the holy, dazzling light under the sun.
The grand cathedral hall, once filled with numerous bishops and Believers, was now empty and deathly silent. The dim sunlight filtering through the colorful stained glass windows cast the sacred hall in a dreamlike, magnificent, and mysterious glow.
In the stillness, two clusters of black silk threads condensed from nothingness, and two silhouettes emerged from within.
Loki stood in the center of the cathedral, his ornate liturgical robes split into two halves by the play of light and shadow—the lower half reflecting the breathtaking stained glass radiance, while his upper body was shrouded in shadow. His narrow, long eyes gazed down at Si Xiaonan below, a faint smile curving his lips.
"Xiaonan, what do you think of this place?" he asked slowly.
"The place Lord Loki chose is naturally the best." Si Xiaonan replied respectfully.
Loki gave a soft laugh, walking to the grand divine throne in the cathedral's center. He lifted his robes and sat down slowly...
"That fool Thor and his group are bogged down at the Divine Miracle Plaza, and that prophet named Myles should have been taken care of as well. In a short time, they won't be able to find this place. Moreover, I've blocked the passage between Asgard and the Human Enclosure... Here, we have plenty of time, undisturbed."
At these words, Si Xiaonan's gaze sharpened below in the cathedral, her heart trembling.
She naturally knew that the Myles Loki referred to was Lin Qiye in disguise.
Loki had actually made a move against him?!
Si Xiaonan pressed her lips together, forcibly suppressing the unease and worry in her heart, stabilizing her emotions.
Before a cunning and sharp-eyed lion, any flaw could become a fatal weakness.
"Although I've already stepped one foot into the Supreme realm, to truly break through that threshold, I need at least another ten years... Fortunately, there's the Pill of Immortality that our dear Xiaonan brought back from the Kunlun Ruins..."
Loki leaned against the divine throne, his slender fingers extracting two pill vials from his chest, gently shaking them in the sunlight.
The pills clinked against the inner walls of the vials, the crisp sound echoing through the empty hall.
Loki carelessly dangled these two pill vials, his gaze drifting leisurely over Si Xiaonan below on the steps, his smile growing more pronounced.
"With these two divine pills revered as treasures of Great Xia, I will soon break through to the Supreme and become the lord of Asgard...
You'd agree, wouldn't you, Xiaonan?"
Si Xiaonan's heart instantly rose to her throat. She stared at the steps beneath Loki's feet and slowly spoke:
"Yes. Lord Loki will certainly ascend to the Supreme today."
Loki sat on the divine throne, his smile gradually fading.
"Good."
He waved his hand, and the two pill vials arced through the air before crashing to the ground with a bang, rolling with a clatter to Si Xiaonan's feet.
Si Xiaonan's pupils slightly contracted.
From the divine throne,
Loki narrowed his eyes and spoke unhurriedly:
"Then, you go first."
...
Asgard.
"MYLES!!!"
Thor, held back by several deities in mid-air, witnessed Hela piercing through Lin Qiye's heart with his own eyes. He widened his eyes and let out a furious roar!
Lin Qiye was their reliance for finding Loki's whereabouts, and also their only method to prevent Loki from ascending to the Supreme. Now that Hela had killed Lin Qiye, it meant all their plans had completely failed.
From the very beginning, Loki had anticipated all their moves and severed every possibility.
Lin Qiye stood frozen in place, slowly lowering his head to look at the pale hand protruding from his chest. He felt endless necrotic energy from the underworld furiously devouring his life force.
His face turned deathly pale!
Shk—
Hela, Queen of the Underworld, expressionlessly pulled her hand back out. Blood dripped from her fingertips and fell to the ground, quickly spreading into a pool of blood.
Lin Qiye felt all the strength drain from his body. His legs gave way and he collapsed to his knees. In his hollow chest where his heart should have been, there was nothing.
He painfully opened his mouth, as if trying to continue breathing, but his consciousness receded like a tide...
He was going to die.
No matter how excellent his physical constitution was, against the lethal strike of Hela, Queen of the Underworld, there was absolutely no chance of survival.
With a dull thud, Lin Qiye's body collapsed heavily into the pool of blood, his breathing already stopped.
Life force extinguished, spiritual power dissipated—the magical disguise that had been covering Lin Qiye faded visibly to the naked eye. The appearance of "Myles" peeled away, revealing his original form.
Seeing this, Hela raised her eyebrows in surprise.
She examined Lin Qiye carefully for a moment, then coldly laughed:
"Interesting... The prophet Myles trusted by Thor is actually a spy from Great Xia...
It seems Loki's coordination with the Olympian Gods to raid Great Xia at night, thereby preemptively tying down the Heavenly Court, was indeed the correct choice."
In the sky, Thor and the others fighting against the gods witnessed this scene, their pupils contracting sharply.
"He's a spy from Great Xia?" Sif covered her mouth in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief. "How could this be..."
"I knew it! There was something wrong with that kid!!" ranted Tyr, the God of War, furiously. "Thor! We were all fooled by him!"
Thor stared at Lin Qiye's corpse, his expression grim.
After killing Lin Qiye, Hela turned to walk toward the chaotic divine battle, but she had barely taken a few steps when her brow suddenly furrowed. She sharply turned to look behind her.
In the pool of blood, Lin Qiye's dead body had actually regained vitality! A golden heart materialized in his chest, beating strongly and powerfully!
His bloodstained hand weakly curled, struggling to reach out. The next moment, a magic circle drawn in blood rapidly took shape!
"How is this possible?" An expression of shock, rare for Hela, appeared on her face.
She was certain that after she had crushed Lin Qiye's heart, his life force had completely vanished. He was merely a human—there was no way he could have escaped from her...
What she hadn't noticed was that among the black hair at the back of Lin Qiye's head, a single golden strand had dissolved into scattered motes of light, vanishing without a trace.
That was the final ability Lin Qiye had drawn from Sun Wukong.
【Life-Saving Hair】!
Seeing Lin Qiye actually resurrect before her very eyes, Hela immediately transformed into a streak of black light and charged toward him.
But at the same time, a brilliant magical radiance bloomed in the blood pool beside Lin Qiye. A small, bandage-wrapped wooden mummy appeared out of thin air.
Lin Qiye grabbed Mumu tightly, lifted his blood-soaked face, and roared with all his strength:
"Mumu! Go!!"
The radiance of the 【Holy Grail】 flashed from Mumu's abdomen. A spatial teleportation force rapidly rippled outward, enveloping both it and Lin Qiye!
