When Stern finished saying the three words' Apollo ', not only did Depney's mind go blank, but even Sauron, Abbess Yun Miao, Prince Sargeras, and the others on the island were shocked beyond words!
Apollo?! This mischievous, undignified scum of the European aristocratic circle, the famous prodigal of the Cromwell family, and the guy who never behaved properly was the legendary Sun God, Apollo, one of the twelve main gods?!
Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, Stern, aka Apollo, expressed his dissatisfaction. He curled his lips and snorted. "What's with that look? Why can that ruffian Yang Cheng be Pluto, while a handsome aristocrat like me can't be the Sun God? I'm the real deal, and I've always been. That guy is the brat who replaced me! "
"Who the f * ck are you calling a ruffian?! Who are you calling a ruffian?! Did I ever offend you? "Yang Cheng couldn't help but retort.
"Oh, right." Apollo chuckled mischievously. "I'm wrong. You're a henpecked, henpecked brat."
Yang Cheng stomped his foot, and the ground dozens of square meters around him sank into a huge pit!
"I let you follow my wife, and for the past two days, I let you eat and drink for free. It's fine if you didn't thank me, but now you're biting the hand that feeds you and saying bad things about me?!"
Apollo spread his hands and said disdainfully, "To put it bluntly, you just wanted us to be Persephone's bodyguards. If it weren't for Persephone's kindness, us siblings wouldn't have listened to your arrangements and played this game. Even if we didn't use this method, we could still find this idiot who pretended to be me in Paris. "
The people at the side listened to Yang Chen and Stern talking back and forth in an unscrupulous tone. They were all confused, and their faces were all stiff.
What was going on?! Were these two … really gods?
Even Prince Sargeras, who had lived for more than a thousand years, was covered in cold sweat. Lilith, on the other hand, was smiling enchantingly, as if she had seen something very interesting.
After recovering from his shock, Depney's face trembled and his eyes filled with venom. "How dare you look down on me … Even if you're Apollo, you can't stop me!"
As he spoke, Depney once again drew the golden longbow in his hand. But this time, even more scarlet flames began to condense, and the blazing flames illuminated the entire deck as if it were daytime!
The surrounding black-clothed people felt the scorching air flow and couldn't help but retreat in panic.
Apollo looked at Depney with some pity in his eyes. "Do you think that by gathering the most powerful energy with that fake in your hand, you can pose a threat to me? Forget it … I'll let you take a look at the real deal. Consider it a full stop. "
As he spoke, Apollo turned to the side and raised his left hand. His eyes instantly turned into a bewitching golden-red, as if there were flames dancing in his eyes. It was truly demonic!
"Helius!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a nearly platinum flame, like a meteor falling from the sky, streaked across the pitch-black night sky, and instantly landed on Apollo's left hand!
The platinum flame turned into a fire dragon, and after wrapping around Apollo's arm a few times, it stretched out to form a blazing platinum longbow in his left hand!
This bow was very similar in shape to the golden longbow in Depney's hand, but this bow was purely made of flames!!
The entire bow was burning. The high temperature brought by the flames was so high that even the metal near it began to melt!
Apollo had set up a protective shield behind him to prevent the high temperature of the flames from spreading to Lin Ruoxi and the others, so that they wouldn't be harmed.
Looking at this platinum flame divine weapon in front of him that made it hard for him to breathe, Depney was scared!
"This … This is …"
"This is the real 'Helius'. The one in your hand is just a defective product that the fire god Hephaestus accidentally made when he was forging divine weapons for us gods. At most … it's a demigod weapon." Apollo grinned. "I don't know where you got that thing, but it should be from the same place as the 'Sword of Thanatos'. But it doesn't matter. In our eyes, these things are nothing more than trash."
In front of the monitor, everyone stared at the divine weapon in Apollo's hand, which was glowing with a majestic light. Above the warship, the sky had already been burnt to a pale gold!
Sargeras gasped, unable to hide his excitement. "Legend has it that the sun god is divided into three periods. The first Hephaestus was the original incarnation of the sun, and the second Helius was the sun god who truly drove the sun chariot. Apollo was once thought to be a god confused with Helius. As the third generation of the sun god, the bow he used was named 'Helius'. Could it be … "
Yang Cheng continued. "You guessed right. Actually, Hephaestus, Helius, and Apollo are all the same person. It's that guy, just that he's awakened incarnations at different times."
Sargeras nodded with a look of realization. "So that's how it is. Now it's understandable why there's a change in the gods …"
Some of the onlookers didn't quite understand what Yang Cheng and Sargeras were talking about. After all, no one had lived for thousands of years like Sargeras, so they naturally didn't know much about ancient secrets.
But just seeing another god with their own eyes was enough to shock their souls!
"No wonder you weren't worried about Ruoxi being captured. You told Apollo to put on this act from the start?" Abbess Yun Miao looked at Yang Cheng with a complicated expression.
Yang Cheng spread his hands. "When I was kidnapped with Ruoxi and brought to a warehouse in Romilly City, I met the two siblings. I knew who they were. I was puzzled at the time as to why they were pretending to be captured. But after thinking about it carefully, I more or less understood. But according to their plan, even if they could find out who the mastermind was, they wouldn't be able to catch all the fish. So, I let them follow my plan. It took a little longer, but at least they got something out of it … I felt that this method was more accurate to lure the snake out of its hole. Didn't we lure the Vatican out too? "
Sauron and the rest wiped the sweat off their foreheads. They were quite frightened, but now that they realized that everything was under Yang Cheng's control, they became exceptionally proud.
"But I didn't expect the Cromwell family's loser … uh … siblings to be gods. How unexpected!" As Sauron spoke, he suddenly realized something and asked, "Since His Excellency Stern is Lord Apollo, then … Miss Alice is …"
Yang Cheng smiled without saying a word. He pointed at the monitor and let everyone continue watching.
At this point, Depney had no way out. His face was ashen, and all the bones in his body felt like they were about to melt.
But that last bit of ruthlessness allowed Depney to muster up his last breath. With the thought of putting his life on the line, Depney pulled back the bowstring and roared, "Go!!"
The arrow, which was condensed with the strongest flame energy, shot straight at Apollo's brow like a laser beam!
But such an irresistible arrow froze in mid-air when it was only a centimeter away from Apollo's face!
Apollo stuck out his tongue mockingly, then opened his mouth wide and took a gulp!
He actually swallowed the flame arrow right into his mouth!
Depney watched helplessly as the concentrated flame arrow he had shot out, which was enough to blow up a warship, was swallowed by Apollo's open mouth. Finally, his face turned ashen, and he no longer had the strength to pull back the bowstring.
Apollo clicked his tongue. "If you were using some other semi-divine weapon, it might be of some use to me, but things like flames are useless against me."
As he spoke, Apollo raised the divine bow Helius in his hand, and his right hand began to pull back the arrow …
A flame arrow of platinum flames appeared out of thin air, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this arrow was much more terrifying than the arrows Depney had used!
Just by forming the arrow, the steel on the warship's deck was already showing signs of melting into molten steel!
"Aiyaya, how do I control this fire? It's still too hot. I have to shoot quickly," Apollo muttered gloomily, and then shot the white flame arrow in his hand!
Everyone felt their vision blur. On the monitor screen, there was nothing but flashes of white light, and nothing else could be seen …
After a long time, everyone heard a pillar of white light shoot up into the sky from the distant sea. It lit up half the sky, and tore the thick night sky into many pieces …
"This … why is it like thunder and lightning?" Fodessa, who had been in a state of numbness, finally opened his mouth and said, swallowing his saliva.
Everyone else also felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts at this shocking situation. If this happened in human society … wouldn't it be …
After a while, the monitor screen finally recovered its image.
They had thought that this earth-shattering attack would destroy all the equipment on the warship, but unexpectedly, other than where Depney was standing, no other places on the warship suffered any fatal damage!
The white flame arrow just now had miraculously moved vertically, and was limited to a small area as it attacked Depney! Such precise control was beyond imagination!
However, what was even more unbelievable was that Depney — was still alive?!
Depney's hair was somewhat burnt, and he looked extremely haggard. But he was indeed squatting on the spot unharmed, panting heavily, his face red.
Apollo was also slightly taken aback. Looking at the broken object in front of Depney's feet, he came to a realization. "So that's how it is. Although that bow is a defective product, it still has divine power infused into it. Just now, it actually sacrificed itself to save you. However, it can also be seen that your body's quality is indeed very special. "
There was a trace of unwillingness in Depney's eyes, but more than that, it was the fanaticism of someone facing imminent death.
Licking his chapped lips, Depney said in a low voice, "Even if I don't survive today, I won't let the people on the island live …"
With that, Depney suddenly took out the detonation remote control from his pocket, and his finger pressed hard on the red button!
At that critical moment, Apollo didn't take any measures, but Depney still couldn't press the button successfully …
"Bang, bang, bang!"
From Depney's finger, from head to toe, there was a crisp sound of something freezing, extending all the way to Depney's entire body!
Under everyone's shocked gazes, for some reason, Depney's entire body was instantly frozen by a layer of solid ice!
Until Depney was already frozen in a block of icy blue ice, and all his expressions and movements were frozen!
Alice, who had been lying down just now, stood up from behind Apollo, her figure swaying.
Gently playing with her enviable silver hair, Alice coquettishly rolled her eyes at Apollo. "Dear, do you really have to make me do something like this? Can't you just shoot another arrow and it'll be over?"
Apollo put away the Helius Divine Bow in his hand, and the bow transformed into a wisp of flame, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
"Artemis, my dear sister, you can't blame me for this. Hades, that boring guy, insisted on finding out what secrets Depney was hiding. I thought about it, and the safest way was to let him be frozen by you. If I made a move, it would be troublesome if I killed him or gave him a chance to commit suicide. "Apollo put his arm around Alice's shoulder, and impatiently kissed the woman's earlobe, as if he was anxious that they hadn't made out in such a short time.
The people on the island and the warship were still shocked by the ice that had frozen Depney, when Apollo's words dropped another bomb!
What? Artemis?!
