Chapter 1870: Mother-Son Fate
Above the Antarctic continent.
Several figures emerged from the glaciers one after another. As they departed, the moon shadow floating on the water's surface also vanished without a trace.
"What's your plan next?" Nyx asked, looking at Lin Qiye beside her.
Lin Qiye glanced at Kubera, who was trembling. "Since we've come out this time, there's no rush to go back... Let's start by eliminating the malignant tumor that is Divine Desire Paradise along the way."
With Lin Qiye's current strength, he alone could slaughter his way through Divine Desire Paradise. If they could eliminate this hidden danger on their journey back to Great Xia, it would当然是一件好事.
"Good, then we'll accompany you." Nyx agreed without hesitation.
Having finally reunited with Lin Qiye, Nyx certainly wouldn't leave just like that. Even though she knew that with Lin Qiye's current strength, few could pose a threat to him... but what if?
The death of her youngest daughter, Philothea, was still vivid in her memory. Now, she didn't want to be separated from Lin Qiye.
"What about you?" Lin Qiye turned to Lina.
Lina hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Destroying Divine Desire Paradise, you all can handle that. I want to return to Hidden God for a while..."
"Alright, after you go back, you can keep an eye on them." Lin Qiye nodded. "If you encounter any trouble you can't resolve, go find me in Great Xia. If I'm not there, look for..."
"Find Great Xia Sword Immortal Zhou Ping." Lina continued the rest of the sentence. "Don't worry, I know what to do."
After bidding farewell to Lin Qiye and the others, Lina patted the head of the demon wolf Fenrir beneath her. With a wolf howl, her figure quickly disappeared into the distance.
Watching Lina leave, Lin Qiye seemed to remember something. He reached out and gripped the empty air, and a torch appeared in his palm.
"By the way, Mother, you should take this."
The moment this torch appeared, Nyx and the others froze first, then shock appeared in their eyes!
"Origin of Olympus??" Athena looked at Lin Qiye in astonishment. "How did you get this? Would Zeus give this to you?"
"Of course they wouldn't give it to me." Lin Qiye smiled.
"But after I killed them all, I naturally got it..."
"You destroyed Olympus?!" Artemis exchanged a glance with Athena, both seeming disbelieving.
After they were ambushed by Zeus back then, they had come to the Antarctic to recuperate, accidentally entering the Temporal Maze... After that, they had no idea what happened in the outside world. Nyx had even planned to wait until Lin Qiye's affairs were settled, then immediately lead Athena and the others to slaughter their way back to Olympus!
But now, Lin Qiye was holding the Origin of Olympus, telling them that Olympus had fallen?
"This is a long story... However, Olympus really is gone. Zeus, Chronos, Poseidon, all those Chief Gods, they're all dead." Lin Qiye looked into Nyx's eyes and spoke seriously.
"I didn't destroy the Origin of Olympus because I was worried it might affect you. Since you're the only remaining gods of Olympus now, it's best that you保管 it."
Nyx stared at Lin Qiye for a long while, her expression complex.
Did she have any feelings for Olympus?
Perhaps once she had... But after Zeus and the other gods一起 hunted down her children, all she felt for Olympus was endless hatred. From the moment she left the asylum, she had intended to destroy Olympus to avenge her dead children. But in the end, she fell short by half a step and couldn't fulfill her wish.
Who would have thought that Lin Qiye would ultimately help her completely settle this vendetta...
The revenge for her children, avenged by another one of her children. Perhaps, in some mysterious way, fate truly exists...
"Thank you..." After a long silence, Nyx still spoke these two words.
Nyx couldn't remember how many times she had thanked Lin Qiye. It seemed that from the very beginning when they met at the Asylum of the Gods, her fate had been tightly bound with Lin Qiye's... Lin Qiye helped cure her illness, helped her走出那段痛苦的回忆, gave her warmth and the feeling of home once again. Though they shared no blood ties, their emotions were丝毫不逊于真正的母子.
They met because of the asylum, but their bond extended far beyond that.
"There's no need for thanks between mother and son." Lin Qiye handed the Origin of Olympus to Nyx, smiling.
Nyx calmed her thoughts and, thinking of the asylum, couldn't help but ask, "By the way, how is Merlin? How is he doing?"
"Uncle Merlin..."
Lin Qiye sighed. "I don't know."
"Don't know?"
"After he left the asylum, he departed... Said he wanted to explore the true nature of this world. But over all these years, there's been no news of him. I don't know if he found the answers he was looking for."
"Hmph, I knew it. This guy was never reliable." Nyx snorted coldly. "What about the others?"
"Bragi is in his own world, recovered Idun, and now who knows where he is... Monkey Brother went drifting with Heavenly Court to the depths of the universe. Gilgamesh... Oh, Gilgamesh is the patient from Room Five. Though his temper is a bit bad, the person is quite nice.
After we联手覆灭了Asgard back then, he said he wanted to find his lost kingdom of Uruk. Now who knows where he is either.
The sixth patient is still in the ward, but he's not so obedient..."
Lin Qiye recounted the situations of everyone. Nyx's expression turned somewhat green. She was about to say they were all unreliable, but then she remembered that she herself had been trapped in the ruins of the Gate of Truth for so many years. She couldn't very well say it, so she just snorted silently.
"In short, during the years you weren't around, a lot happened..." Lin Qiye looked back on the past, feeling somewhat emotional. "If you want to hear about it, we can talk while we fly."
"Alright."
The group transformed into streaks of light and soared into the clouds. Under Kubera's guidance, they flew directly toward Divine Desire Paradise.
...
Mirror Strait.
On a simple bed, An Qingyu slowly opened his eyes...
He stared at the familiar ceiling above him for a moment, then sat up from the edge of the bed. His hands rubbed his temples.
After a deep sleep, the excruciating pain of his soul being torn had eased considerably. At least he wasn't on the verge of collapsing at any moment anymore. However, it seemed that the price for this soul transfer method was still too great...
An Qingyu glanced at the door. It remained in the same state as when he entered—no signs of anyone having opened it.
"Didn't take the opportunity to make a move..."
He murmured quietly, not at all surprised. He got up and pushed the door open.
In the fiery-red courtyard, he didn't see Lin Qiye's figure. He must have gone back to rest in his room. An Qingyu's gaze swept across the surroundings, pausing on the black-and-white chessboard beneath the tree.
