Chapter 611: [ Demon Eye (2)]

Liu Muxiao lowered her head in embarrassment as her face turned red.

After that she seemed to realize that she had just displayed her ugly self in front of her beloved husband, and exclaimed, immediately covering her face with her hands. She really looks cute and adorable.

"How ugly!" Allen jeered. "Just look at you, your face looks similar to that of an abandoned dirty kitten. If people were to see, they would think that this great and handsome youth here had bullied you. Sigh, I really worry how you are going to find someone to marry with that face. Marrying this ugly you, your husband would be extremely pitiful and unlucky!"

Ugly? Husband? Unlucky? Liu Muxiao immediately drummed her feet on the ground in anger, before throwing herself and covering her face in Allen's chest, snorting, "Who're you calling ugly? Who did you say can't marry anyone?! If you don’t marry me, I’m going to tell mother on you and let her scold you and beat you up!"

As she spoke, her hands had already energetically snaked to Allen’s waist, twisting at the flesh there.

"I'm ugly, I'm the ugly one, I'm the ugliest one… oh my lord, why do all of you women always like to target the same place?" Allen could only plead for mercy. But his eyes were full of happiness and love. There’s no hint of pain, only affection, and tender care.

"You women..? Hmm??" Liu Muxiao narrowed her eyes dangerously. "I almost forgot, this handsome youth here has power and influence and also looks so elegant and suave, possessing crowds of wives and concubines even in this Celestial Realm, with beauties as plentiful as the clouds, right? You even forgot those who were left in the mortal world, hoping for your safe return! Worrying about you every day and night, crying and weeping after being discarded by this stupid stallion!"

"Do you still need to mention it?" Allen stuck his head up in pride, "Although, the latter half was surely not the slightest bit of truth, indeed, your husband’s charm can't be denied! Women will immediately go out from their houses the moment they see me, and will even hold my waist and would never let go even if they were hit using clubs. Aiya sssss…."

"You still dare to say! You d*mned stud!" Liu Muxiao immediately attacked Allen’s waist in the most ruthless manner, here a 180-degree twist, then turning into the fabled 360-degree twist as she spat out.

Allen let out a wail of misery, pleading for forgiveness. This was not faked, as this move made by women could be said to be a male's 'greatest pain'!

Even an immortal godly body could not protect you from the pain!

Liu Muxiao angrily snorted and turned her head sideways, fuming and ignoring him. Then, she returned to Allen’s bosom, leaning her face against his chest, her lips curling into a blissful smile.

Allen could only smile helplessly in response, and hug her back, pulling her even closer.

With the music and peace, the moment was like a fairytale…

Away from the two, at the very corner where a group of young and old people gathered, laughing and chatting happily, a young woman, as pretty as a Celestial Goddess was watching them emotionally… as if she were watching a daydream.

Her tears simply wouldn’t stay put and continued to roll down endlessly. However, she was reluctant to wipe them off… fearing that the two people, she yearned and desired in all of her life, might disappear if she blinked…

Not knowing when they would meet again…

Mom…Dad… How’re you…?

I’m fine… I’m holding…so please… you as well, mom…

I love you…

She sighs emotionally. She seemed obsessed as she looked at the two figures cuddling together so lovingly.

This scenery gives her endless happiness and joy.

The world is unfair… you’re close yet you both seem so far away…

Clusters of sparking and crystal-like tears fell to the ground.

The young woman bit her lips, picked up the glass from the passing waiter and drunk in one gulp.

The warmth of the cocktail flooding her throat…

Outside World; [ God Continent ]…

The area was filled with passionate and beautiful music played by several beautiful women wearing long white silk dress.

Food and drinks of the highest quality were served in abundance, each one to be relished.

This place was one of the most famous within the Celestial Realm, or even within the Thousand Worlds; Mt. Olympus, home of one of the most famous mythological group of Gods; The Olympians!

Rockery around the area was heaped and trees were casually planted at calculated positions. The constructed pond was wide enough for boats and even contained three islands, linked to one another by vermilion-painted bridges.

With the background full of fog and mist, with a large waterfall in a close distance, and the sound of nature and the music of the beautiful nymphs accompanied by their laughter and giggling, that almost like sound of twinkling of small bells—it was a place only seen in dreams of fantasies and imagination by mortals.

A specially allotted mountain which embodied the essence of beautiful natural scenery.

There was only one inhabitant in this garden.

This alluring otherworldly beauty, whose eyes were dark with worry.

In one of the temples built in honor for one of the well-known God; Athena, the Pantheon, a girl around thirteen to fourteen years of age with pale white skin, beautiful face, silver long hair, and beautiful red eyes could be seen sitting within the temple.

The girl carried herself in an elegant manner, looking extremely carefree and nobility. An amiable smile was plastered over her face and she looked extremely friendly as though she was completely harmless. However, anyone who knew her well was extremely clear that she was an extremely dangerous smiling tigress, one who would not spit out your bones after eating you alive.

One of the most well-known Goddesses known for her intelligence and coldness…

Athena; Daughter of Zeus!

Wearing a cold and complex expression on her face, while her desolate frame resembled a solitary snowflake in contrast to the flowery setting of her surroundings owing to the white dress she was wearing at the moment, she was fraught with worry and concern of the coming days as she had held a bad premonition of this sudden calm and the strange silence of the Demons.

“What are they planning…?” She muttered to herself with an emotionless voice then looked outside.

It was bright and clear outside; not a single cloud was in the sky.

But the brightness gave her a surreal feeling.

This feeling was just like the calm before the storm.

These past few days were such—no news of the Demons and the land was covered by strange tranquility and absence of any appearance of the Demons. In fact, all of this happened just after a certain youth’s appearance in this world—

What is going on…? No matter how smart and intelligent she was, she couldn’t find any answer other than the Demons planning something she doesn’t want to know.

Looking towards the bright clear sky, Athena’s heart can’t help but beat restlessly. She had already guessed that Mammon would surely do something but up until now, Mammon had been quiet—eerily quiet.

Was this because of that person’s appearance…?

“That bastard…”

Speaking about that youth, he had surely been out of contact. What had happened…? Where is he now? This had also preoccupied Athena’s mind. After leaving the Aryan Clan, that youth, for some reason, had disappeared completely.

What is he doing and where is he right now…? Athena has no idea as to what is that youth planning.

Whether it was the machination of Fate or not, in regards to that youth, Athena didn’t know how to think about him.

At first, she had thought of him as nothing but an exceptional mortal. But she was wrong, he was actually once a great King that even Gods had heard of his name—a Great King who had turned the Celestial Realm upside down once despite being just a mere mortal.

This had made her happy for seeing a new hope despite all these sufferings they had gone through.

But now, he was actually far deeper than she had ever imagined.

She actually learned that it was not just that—he was actually the mortal reincarnation of a true God, a Titan, Epimetheus, son of Iapetus and Clymene. He was the brother of Prometheus, Atlas, and Menoetius.

…and judging from the Three Women of Fate's words, he was holding a large role in the upcoming doomsday…

Really… is this a coincidence or not…

Is she actually dancing in someone’s palm all this time…?

She?

The Goddess of Wisdom?!

Athena simply didn't know what to think anymore. Her head was still hanging down while her eyes were still fixed at the flowers in front of the temple, her expression complicated and full of doubt and suspicion. A breeze rolled-in and softly brushed aside her hair, exposing her delicate skin and half of her fair neckline and face.

As Athena felt a headache, suddenly, her body felt a shiver and hastily looked up at the sky in the distance.

A mass of dark cloud suddenly appeared and spread out. It was rolling so fast that after just a few seconds, the entire place became dark.

Athena then felt overwhelming suppressive energy rolling over to her.

Craakaaa!! Booom!!

All of a sudden, thunderclaps sounded everywhere in the sky. Then, the coldness covered the place. It felt like the coldness was from beyond the heavens descending to the world.

The suppressive power covered the entire world immediately.

“This is…!!?” Athena’s eyes widened and she immediately jumped out from her chair.

She stared at the sudden occurrence in the sky. She didn’t know what was happening but the Aura which was circulating in the atmosphere was giving rise to an unseen storm. The pressure of this storm was beginning to build up over the entire sky, as if wanting to cover the entire world....and was capable of giving rise to destructive calamity.

Baaaang!!!

A thunderbolt sliced through the clear sky abruptly.

It almost sounded as though the heavens were enraged.

All the insects and other creatures of lower life forms had already gone silent since the depth of their souls were warning them about this impending disaster, and they could all sense that something unprecedented was about to take place...

The wind started blowing in frenzy as streaks of lightning could be seen in the sky. The lightning looked almost as if a dragon was coursing through the clouds!

Craack! Baang! Boooom!!

Intense rumbling sounds immediately filled the sky. Deafening thunder rang out, reverberating out in all directions, covering everything for thousands of kilometers in all directions, shaking the land.

The lightning seemed to be furious and was filled with an awe-inspiring desire to crush everything out of existence.

The sound of thunder reverberated around in the air; as it did, immense black clouds filled the sky, covering over everything. Layer upon layer rose up, emanating shocking sounds of thunder. Lightning twisted and crackled amidst the layers of clouds.

The sight of it was astonishing.

Then, under Athena’s pallid and dumbstruck expression, a strange noise came from the sky as a black sigil appeared in the air covered by the intense rumbling of lightning.

The sigil looked like there was a black, ferocious scar that caused a crack in the sky. It extended both ways and stopped when it was more than 10 meters long. After it had stopped growing horizontally, it began to grow downwards and soon, a gigantic black eye opened. It looked like it was God’s eye looking down on the world.

“…Demon Eye…!” Athena’s voice was trembling. “…A, a Demon Eye…actually opened?!”

How long has it been since the last time something like this occurred?

No, it happened when the First War of Myth occurred.

And now...

Entrance to Hell—that was what a Demon Eye was called. Many had said that the Demon Eye was the Eye of Satan, becoming the gateway to hell upon his death. And now, when the Demon Eye opened, a pair large rectangular frame appeared in the sky with the eye on the center.

The Open eye split into two as the pair of rectangular frame started to open like a large door in the sky—but this door didn’t lead to Heaven…but Hell…!

Many monsters were coming out of the Hell’s Door, falling and some were even flying. Athena’s jaw dropped as she watched helplessly. It almost looked like monsters were raining out of the sky.

“So this is what Mammon was doing…?!! He was summoning the Demon’s Eye!!”

Demons can hardly enter the Celestial Realm. Even those able, would need a lot of power to open a door and even only some monsters would be able to pass through.

But with the appearance of the Demon Eye, everything changed.

This is already a grand invasion!

A mass of dark fog suddenly exploded and spread out hundreds and thousands of meters!

At the same time, in the clouds, countless lightning started to strike down!

The entire world was shaking for it!

Athena stared at the dark clouds filling the skies, and the countless bands of silver lightning, twisting about like snakes.

As the ear-splitting thunder sounded out, she coolly said, “The war has begun!!”

Massive thunderous booms sounded out from up above. The brutality of the sound itself threatened to cause everything around to collapse.

On this day—the Celestial Realm was covered by extreme chaos!

On this day—the entire Celestial Realm shook and trembled.

On each of the Continent, a Demon Eye had been opened and a massive amount of Monsters came falling from the sky.

…The Second War of Hope had begun…!
