Chapter 431 The Storm Is Coming!!! (Page 12)
The ruins of Takamagahara are bathed in golden light, like a sea of gold.
The illusory image of the Heavenly Court descended, its vast divine power crushing all filth. The scarlet moonlight vanished completely, and the remains of the entire divine kingdom turned into nothingness.
Taiyi Zhenren stood on a cloud, lightly waving his whisk, his gaze sweeping over the gradually dissolving ruins below, and he sighed softly:
"From then on, Takamagahara ceased to exist in the world."
His voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of melancholy.
Guang Chengzi stood with his hands behind his back, the ancient bronze seal floating in his palm, and said calmly:
"That divine kingdom has been decaying for a long time; we can conquer it without lifting a finger. It's nothing!"
His tone was casual, as if he had merely crushed a grain of dust.
Master Yu Ding held a long sword, its blade gleaming coldly, and nodded slightly.
"The Heavenly Court has reappeared in the world, sacrificing the destruction of a divine kingdom. This should be enough to awe the world!"
"sufficient!"
His gaze pierced through the void, sweeping into the distance, as if observing the reactions of other divine kingdoms.
The illusory image of the Heavenly Court stretches across the sky, its golden light cascading down like a waterfall.
At this moment, the entire divine kingdom of the Misty World was alarmed!
Sun City, Egypt
Ra slammed his golden scepter heavily onto the ground, causing the temple to tremble!
"The Heavenly Court... actually used Takamagahara as a sacrifice?!"
Horus's hawk-like eyes were sharp, and his voice was deep:
"They are warning...all divine kingdoms."
Anubis's scales tilted slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"The Eastern deity...does not act lightly."
"Once it strikes... it will be with the fury of thunder!"
Asgard, Scandinavia
Odin's single eye gazed into the void, and Gungnir, the spear of eternity, trembled slightly.
"The Heavenly Court appears in the world... Takamagahara is destroyed."
Thor gripped Mjolnir tightly, his fighting spirit surging:
"What do they want to do?!"
Loki leaned against a pillar in Valhalla, a playful smile playing on his lips:
"Perhaps... the end of Cthulhu is coming."
Greece Olympus
Zeus's thunder scepter burst forth with blinding lightning, and the temple dome trembled violently!
"The Heavenly Court... dares to be so domineering?!"
Athena's wise eyes sparkled:
“Father, they are not targeting us... they are cleaning up the pollution.”
Apollo sneered:
"But their actions...are undoubtedly a declaration of hegemony!"
Indian temples
Brahma's four faces opened their eyes simultaneously, and the lotus blossomed with divine light.
"The Heavenly Court... used the destruction of Takamagahara to terrify the gods."
Shiva's third eye slightly opened, and an aura of destruction flowed within it:
"The shadow of Cthulhu... has angered something that should not have been angered."
Krishna, an avatar of Vishnu, gently stroked his flute and smiled slightly:
"The Eastern deity... has finally broken his silence."
The Primordial Celestial Venerable stood with his hands behind his back.
His gaze pierced through the endless void, as if he were looking down upon the world.
"Master," Jade Cauldron True Man said in a low voice, "all the gods are astonished."
The Celestial Venerable smiled faintly:
"Surprise them."
"The contamination of Cthulhu has crossed the bottom line in the East... The appearance of the Heavenly Court is just the beginning."
With a flick of his sleeve, his voice, like a resounding bell, echoed throughout the heavens:
"Those who offend the East—no matter how far away, shall be punished!"
"boom--!!!"
The illusory image of the Heavenly Court surged once more, its golden light sweeping across the mist, as if proclaiming to all the divine kingdoms—
The East...is inviolable!
Sun City, Egypt
He slammed his scepter down heavily and said in a deep voice:
"Order—Seal off Sun City!"
"No deity... shall set foot in the East without authorization!"
Asgard, Scandinavia
Odin's single eye gazed into the void, and he slowly spoke:
"Thor."
"exist!"
"Withdraw all heroic warriors stationed outside... to temporarily avoid the enemy's advance."
Greece Olympus
Zeus's thunderbolt scepter crashed down, and the temple trembled!
"Prepare for war!"
"If the Heavenly Court dares to invade my territory... they will pay the price!"
Indian temples
Brahma's lotus flower slowly closed, its sound echoing far and wide:
"Just wait and see what happens."
"The gods of the East... will not start a war without cause."
...
Lin Qiye dusted himself off, turned to look at Yuri Takishiro standing to the side, and a smile appeared on his lips:
"Come on, Takishiro, come back to Great Xia with us!"
Yuri Takishiro blinked her heterochromatic eyes, a hint of anticipation flashing within them, but she quickly pursed her lips and asked softly:
"Is the Great Xia Dynasty... fun?"
Upon hearing this, Baili Pangpang immediately came over, put his arm around his shoulder, and grinned mischievously.
"It's more than just 'fun'! We have the latest game consoles with 4K high-definition screens and smooth 120fps gameplay, as well as VR holographic simulation pods that let you immerse yourself in the world of boss battles!"
Yuri Takihachi's eyes widened instantly, her pupils seemingly sparkling with stars: "R-Really?!"
Shen Qingzhu stood to the side with a cold face, pushing up her sunglasses: "Useless."
An Qingyu adjusted her glasses, the lenses reflecting a calm light: "According to statistics, Great Xia's gaming industry is world-leading, and the average annual salary of esports players is—"
Baili Pangpang interrupted immediately: "Oh, the data isn't important! The important thing is—"
He lowered his voice mysteriously: "We even have unlimited refills of milk tea where we're from!"
Yuri Takishiro: "!!!"
Zhang Yun leaned against the rock and lazily added, "When it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, the Great Xia is indeed unparalleled."
Cao Yuan scratched his head and muttered to himself, "Did I... fail to help again?"
Jiang Er's spirit floated over and said with a smile, "You've already done a great job."
Seeing that Yuli Longbai was wavering, Baili Pangpang immediately pressed his advantage, counting on his fingers:
"Besides game consoles, we also have—"
"Hot pot! Spicy and fragrant, perfect for dipping meat and vegetables, paired with an ice-cold cola, it's absolutely amazing!"
"Barbecue! Lamb skewers, beef skewers, grilled chicken wings, sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, the aroma is so good you'll want to swallow your tongue!"
"Crawfish! Garlic, spicy, thirteen-spice flavor, peel them, dip them in the sauce, and have an ice-cold beer with it..."
Yuri Takihaku's eyes widened, and her throat bobbed involuntarily.
Lin Qiye couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Fatty, if you keep talking like that, Takishiro might just open a spatial portal and rush over there."
Baili Pangpang tossed his hair triumphantly: "Absolutely! Oh, and one more thing—"
He lowered his voice mysteriously: "We also have 'secret delicacies' where we're from!"
Yuri Takishiro: "A mysterious delicacy?"
Baili Pangpang: "Yes! For example—"
"Stinky tofu! It smells pungent but tastes delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. One bite and your soul is elevated!"
"Luosifen! Sour, spicy, and savory, paired with tofu skin and peanuts, it leaves you feeling refreshed and invigorated!"
"Durian mille-feuille! Sweet, soft, and melts in your mouth—a paradise for dessert lovers!"
Yuri Takishiro's expression shifted from shock to longing, and finally to unwavering determination:
"I...I want to go!"
Shen Qingzhu sneered: "Is that all the ambition you have?"
Baili Pangpang retorted, "Old Shen, don't pretend. Who was secretly ordering barbecue takeout in the middle of the night last time?"
Shen Qingzhu: "...Shut up."
Lin Qiye smiled and extended his hand: "Then it's settled, let's go back to Daxia together."
Yuri Takishiro nodded emphatically and reached out to grasp it: "Mmm!"
Zhang Yun stretched lazily: "Finally I can go back and rest. This trip has exhausted me."
Baili Pangpang leaned over and asked cheekily, "Brother Yun, what do you want for your first meal when we get back? It's on me!"
Zhang Yun raised an eyebrow: "You're treating? Has the sun risen in the west?"
Baili Pangpang patted his chest and declared, "I absolutely won't renege on my promise this time! I, Baili Pangpang, keep my word!"
An Qingyu pushed up her glasses: "According to historical records, the last time you treated someone was a year ago, and Lin Qiye ended up paying the bill."
Baili Pangpang: "...An Qingyu! Can you please stop ruining things!"
Everyone laughed.
Jiang Er's spirit floated to You Li Longbai's side and said gently, "There are many fun places in Daxia. I'll take you there when the time comes."
Yuri Takihachi's eyes sparkled: "Okay!"
Cao Yuan scratched his head: "Did I... fail to help again?"
Shen Qingzhu: "Shut up."
As night deepened, we stood by the campfire.
Everyone sat together, and Baili Pangpang pulled out a bag of potato chips from somewhere and happily munched on them.
Yuri Takishiro looked curiously at the snacks in his hand: "What are these?"
Baili Pangpang: "Potato chips! Tomato flavor, they're so delicious! Want one?"
Yuri Takishiro took it, carefully took a bite, and her eyes widened instantly: "...Delicious!"
Baili Pangpang said smugly, "Right! When we get to Daxia, I'll take you to the supermarket. There are so many flavors of potato chips that you'll be spoiled for choice!"
Lin Qiye sighed helplessly, "Fatty, don't turn Takishiro into a glutton."
Baili Pangpang: "How can you call it 'turning them into foodies'? This is called 'cultivating food connoisseurs'!"
Zhang Yun lazily interjected, "Fatty, you said last time you wanted to train Cao Yuan to be a 'God of Wine,' but he passed out after just one sip of beer."
Baili Pangpang retorted, "That's because Cao Yuan can't hold his liquor! Takishiro is obviously a good drinker!"
Yuri Takishiro asked blankly, "Drink...what?"
Baili Pangpang smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out when the time comes..."
Lin Qiye sighed, "Fatty, don't teach the kids bad habits."
(v) Future Agreements
The campfire gradually died down, and starlight began to fall.
Yuri Takishiro looked up at the starry sky and asked softly, "Are the stars in Great Xia... this bright too?"
Lin Qiye smiled: "Even brighter than this."
Baili Pangpang chimed in, "And we also have a night market! It's brightly lit at night, with food stalls stretching as far as the eye can see!"
Yuri Takishiro's eyes were full of anticipation: "I want to go and see."
Zhang Yun yawned lazily: "Alright, stop chatting and get some rest. We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."
Baili Pangpang: "Brother Yun, why are you such a spoilsport?"
Zhang Yun: "Because I'm sleepy."
Shen Qingzhu: "Useless."
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Yuri Takishiro looked at them, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
—The Great Xia... seems really interesting.
...
Asgard, outside Valhalla.
Golden sunlight shone on the majestic temple, where Gungnir, the spear of eternity, stood in the center, radiating a chilling light.
Thor was carrying Mjolnir and competing with a group of heroic warriors in drinking contest. Wine spilled from the horn cup, splashing onto his beard and drawing laughter.
Loki leaned against a pillar, toying with a golden apple between his fingers, a faint smile playing on his lips, as if plotting his next prank.
Sudden--
“Buzz——!!!”
A beam of azure light pierced through the clouds, falling like a meteor and plunging straight into the plaza in front of the Hall of Heroes!
