Chapter 1798: The Storm is Approaching
Special Secret Affairs Department.
Heavy raindrops struck the windows, producing dull thuds. In the dim conference room, nine figures sat around a round table.
Except for the central Wu Quan and a red-haired girl, the other eight figures all had bizarre appearances—one with a single crimson eye like a shadow, a small pale spider boy, a burly and fierce white bear, and even a rotating silver Rubik's cube.
"...Additionally, the 'Mystery' *** incident in Gusu City has been resolved by my team. However, the local Night Watch unit seems to be highly vigilant about our appearance..." Black Pupil said calmly.
"Vigilant? Their Star Blade nearly took my head off." The Void White Bear snorted, and the entire desk shook violently.
"Woof!" Wangcai agreed.
Wu Quan nodded slightly. "I will coordinate with the Night Watch team in Gusu City. Thank you all for your assistance."
"It's the Principal's assigned task, so helping is only natural. No need for thanks." A Zhu said seriously.
"By the way... is war about to break out?"
Black Pupil looked at Wu Quan and asked curiously.
"Mm." Wu Quan didn't hide anything. "We're about to go to war with Olympus. It should happen within the next few days."
"So that means... we're going to the battlefield too?"
"What are you thinking? That's a god war. We're just 'Mysteries.' The best fighter among us is Laifu... Do you think it looks like it wants to join the fight?"
The blue cat lounging on the edge of the desk let out a lazy yawn.
"True, but the White Bear should be able to go to the battlefield, right?"
"It could, since it's one of the Principal's swords... among others."
The Void White Bear glared at Black Pupil. "What do you mean 'among others'... No matter how many weapons the Principal has, I'm his beloved blade! One of a kind!"
"Is that so? But he hasn't taken you into battle for several years."
"Wasn't that because that jinx [Chaos] stole his body before, making it impossible to summon me? Besides, after Old Man became Commander-in-Chief, he hasn't really fought much either, right?" The Void White Bear glared back, arguing vigorously, as if ready to brawl with Black Pupil at any moment.
Black Pupil smiled helplessly and was about to say something when a brilliant burst of magical light suddenly illuminated from beneath the Void White Bear's feet!
Seeing that familiar glow, the Void White Bear immediately became excited:
"See! What did I tell you! The Principal is summoning me!!"
But before his voice could fade, the same summoning array spread out from beneath the other ward round members' feet. Everyone present, except for the two "Mysteries" under Wu Quan's control, was engulfed by the magical array's radiance.
Seeing this, Hong Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"The Principal is summoning us."
"We consume significant divine power from the Seraph avatars when walking in the outside world. Now the Principal is recalling all of us... which means he's going to go all out this time." Black Pupil licked his lips. "It's been a long time since I've seen the Principal go all out..."
As the ward round members disappeared one by one, the room's magical radiance finally faded, and the conference room fell into darkness once more.
Wu Quan rose calmly from his seat, waved away the two controlled "Mysteries," and walked to the window. Through the rain streaming down the glass, he could see a storm brewing among the clouds...
Ding-dong—
Wu Quan glanced down at his phone's message and wore an expression of "just as I expected."
"So it's finally beginning..." Wu Quan's eyes lit up.
With a flick of his finger, the window弹开 opened automatically, and the next moment his entire body transformed into a black shadow, flying out and vanishing into the storm beyond the rain curtain.
...
At the same time.
Outer space.
The six-winged figure floating above Earth slowly opened its eyes.
Brilliant magical radiance flickered through its pupils, and hundreds of summoning magics were simultaneously canceled. All ward round members active on Earth were sent back to their main bodies within Lin Qiye's Asylum of the Gods.
Except for one snow-white blade.
As the Six-Winged Seraph flicked its finger, this snow-white blade rapidly fell toward a certain location on Earth!
Watching the blade depart, terrifying and majestic light blazed in Its eyes. Dormant divine power surged once more, and golden ripples spread through the deep void!
Infused with divine power, a sky-covering magical array illuminated above a certain region of Earth's atmosphere. Complex magical patterns intertwined, making one's head spin at a mere glance.
In the dead silence of space, ancient forbidden curse arrays were taking shape...
...
Great Xia Border, the Mist.
"Shouldn't the countdown above Olympus be less than two days away now? Why haven't these Great Xia people shown any signs of movement?"
Beneath the churning sea surface, an Olympian Lesser God spoke in confusion.
"You said it yourself—there are still two days. Why would they move so early?" Another Lesser God replied leisurely. "Don't worry. Since they issued that kind of war declaration, they'll definitely make a move..."
"We don't need to worry about when Great Xia acts. We just need to follow Poseidon's orders and keep a close watch on them." The third Lesser God spoke seriously. "This is the only route from Great Xia to Olympus. The moment they move, we'll definitely notice... Remember, don't engage them directly. Transmitting messages to Olympus is the top priority."
"Tch... Poseidon? What's he got to do with it? He's just a Chief God who grabbed the Golden Throne. Does he really think he's the master of Greek mythology?"
"Keep your voice down."
"Why should I— wait? What sound is that?"
"Sound? What sound?"
"Didn't you hear it? It sounds like some kind of instrument. It's coming from within Great Xia."
"It's probably just the wind, right?"
The three Lesser Gods listened intently for a long while and indeed heard a certain melodious sound from beyond the mist, and that sound seemed to be getting closer...
"Damn! It must be the Great Xia people!" One Lesser God's expression changed.
"Send the signal first!"
"Right!"
One of the Lesser Gods immediately raised his hand, preparing to channel divine power, when a palm suddenly burst through his heart!
He turned in astonishment to see that the other Lesser God who had been standing beside him moments ago had a demonic expression, staring at him fixedly, laughing wildly:
"Ha! Great Xia god! Die!!"
His hand pulled hard, tearing the companion's body to shreds. The next moment, a flash of cold light slashed across his throat!
The third Lesser God also wore a ferocious expression. "Poseidon! Kill you, and I become the master of Olympus! Ha ha ha..."
Among the surging waves, the three Lesser Gods went mad,厮杀 each other. After just a few dozen seconds, three broken divine corpses floated up from the seabed, crimson blood staining the sea's surface.
Above the blood-red waters, the silhouettes of several exploration ships slowly emerged from the mist.
