Chapter 1807: Olympus, It's Over
As the rusty, salty taste entered her lips, an ordinary girl's hazy consciousness returned.
She lay on the ground, gazing blankly at the figure walking past her. After a moment, she came to her senses and weakly reached out to grab his ankle, but only managed to brush against it slightly.
Yet the person still stopped.
"Who... exactly... are you?"
Four consecutive days of hunger and cold had pushed almost all the ordinary people in the birdcage to their limits. A single drop of blood was something they could barely taste. Even though they had been saved from the brink of death, they had no idea who had rescued them. But there were very few who realized the truth.
The person fell silent for a moment, then slowly spoke two words into the wind:
"Phoenix."
With that, he turned and left, moving to the next dying ordinary person, dripping another drop of Phoenix Blood into his mouth.
The girl murmured those two words as a warm current surged through her body, and she fell into a deep sleep once more.
Before they knew it,
Dawn had arrived;
This night, Death's scythe had failed to claim a single life,
Because within this golden birdcage, a burning Phoenix was roaring狰狞ly at it!
The morning sun rose from the east, golden light streaming through a gap in the dark clouds, illuminating the birdcage in the mountains... A girl covered in blood sat cross-legged, facing the temple, back turned to all living beings.
She lowered her head, the layers of grotesque blood scabs on her back gleaming in the morning sun like a golden cloak.
Creak——
The gate of the birdcage was opened by two guards.
"Oh... there are still so many people alive?" One of the guards casually scanned the birdcage, surprised. "Last night's wind was no joke. I thought at least half would die. They're quite resilient."
"Why bother with so much? Those Great Xia people should be coming today anyway. They're all going to die eventually."
"True. Let's drag that woman out first."
A guard stepped into the birdcage and reached for Xia Simeng's lowered head. Just then, a hand shot out like lightning and grabbed his wrist!
"Take your dirty hand... off our captain!"
Cao Sha's bloodshot eyes stared死死 at the guard before him, his voice hoarse.
The guard's expression darkened. He squinted at the man before him and couldn't help but coldly laugh, "What's this? Last day and you've grown some courage? You don't actually think those Great Xia people are coming to save you, do you?"
The guard's aura erupted as he tried to wrench his hand free from Cao Sha's grip, but no matter how hard he tried, Cao Sha's hand remained immovable.
Guards were just guards, not gods. Cao Sha's cultivation was even slightly higher than theirs, so naturally he wouldn't let go easily. Only then did he realize that there were a few human experts hidden among these people.
Of course, in Olympus, they were nothing.
The other guard immediately raised his hand, and a streak of light shot into the sky—this was their signal for reinforcements... In the next instant, a divine shadow skimmed over the distant peaks and flew swiftly toward them.
Cao Sha showed no fear at all. He subtly waved his hand behind his back, signaling the other members of the [Phoenix] squad not to act rashly, then slowly spoke.
"They will definitely come... they absolutely will come!"
"Ridiculous." The guard sneered. "Do you have any idea how long the Olympian gods have been preparing for this day? Outside these mountains, there are already four or five layers of god-level barriers stacked together. That's the highest level of defense!
Even if they really came, breaking through those four or five barriers would take at least a day!
Not to mention the formations between the mountains!
They're just humans. The moment they step into Olympus, in less than ten minutes, they'll be wiped out!
Of course, you won't get to see any of this... Because while they're desperately breaking through the barriers, this birdcage will be crushed to powder in the sea right before their eyes!
Aren't they the ones arrogant enough to 'hunt gods'? I wonder how brilliant their expressions will be when they watch you common folk drown in Olympus, unable to even break through the barriers?!
A human divine kingdom... in the end, it's just a joke!"
Hearing the guard's words, the faces of everyone in the birdcage turned ashen. Veins bulged on Cao Sha's arms, and the pain made the sneering guard's expression twist狰狞ly!
"So a rat sneaked in after all..."
The figure of King Hades materialized, his gaze casually sweeping over Cao Sha before looking away, his expression somewhat displeased. "I thought something had gone wrong... Can't even handle a pathetic human like this. What useless waste!"
Hades flicked his fingers, and the guard whose wrist Cao Sha was gripping instantly twisted into a pretzel. Scarlet blood splattered all over Cao Sha before the guard collapsed softly to the ground.
Cao Sha frowned as he watched Hades approach. He took a deep breath and walked to the birdcage entrance.
"I'm Cao Sha, a high-ranking official of the Great Xia Night Watch. You want to know Great Xia's trump cards? Go ahead, use whatever methods you have, and see if you can pry anything out of me."
"You? A high-ranking official?" Hades scoffed. "Your strength is even less than that woman's, and she's Athena's proxy. If even she's not a high-ranking official, what makes you one?"
"The role of a Night Watch high-ranking official is to make major decisions within the organization, not to fight... Besides the Commander-in-Chief, strength doesn't matter much for other officials." Cao Sha replied calmly.
Hades' eyes narrowed. He studied Cao Sha carefully for a moment, then spoke chillingly, "Fine, since you came to me willingly, I obviously can't let you go..."
Cao Sha's expression remained unchanged. He stepped forward to walk out of the birdcage when, suddenly, a pale hand grabbed his wrist tightly.
Cao Sha froze. He turned to look and saw Xia Simeng sitting cross-legged on the ground, her lowered head slowly lifting.
"You... don't have to..."
"Cap... Xia Simeng! What are you doing?!"
Xia Simeng's gaze passed over Cao Sha and looked up at the sky. The corner of her bloodless lips curved slightly upward.
"You... don't have to... Olympus... is finished."
Cao Sha frowned in confusion. He followed her gaze and his pupils contracted sharply!
Beneath the dark, heavy clouds, the characters that had been projected in the sky over Olympus suddenly began to flicker violently. The original golden color was visibly turning dark red, and the original "一" character was transforming into a massive "井".
Buzz buzz buzz——!!!
At almost the same moment, an ancient and deep horn resounded through the sky above Olympus!
A dazzling golden sword light pierced through the clouds from outer space, precisely cutting into the center of the intersecting dark red symbols!!
BOOM——!!!
An earth-shattering explosion rang in everyone's ears. The golden miracle spread like an ocean, engulfing the heavens!
