Although the nuclear explosion didn't happen on the island as many had expected, the Louis XVI super cruise ship that was docked at the port had left long ago!
When Yang Cheng and the rest followed Fodessa and the few special forces and officials who hadn't left the island to the port, they realized the helpless truth.
"Hmph, this group of cowards. Nothing happened at all. Why are they running so fast?" Lilith supported her father and said angrily with her pink lips pouting.
Sargeras chuckled. "It's good that they left. His Majesty Pluto scared them so that fewer people would know about the identities of Apollo and Artemis."
Yang Cheng turned back and smiled. "In the world that humans live in, it's better to have fewer gods appear." After that, he said to Fodessa, "Deputy Director Fodessa, although I can cross the ocean even without a ship, my friends can't. You should have a spare ship, right? "
Fodessa nodded immediately. "That's right. We have a spare transport ship. Yang … uh … Your Majesty Pluto, please wait for a moment. I'll personally drive the transport ship out."
At this moment, Fodessa had long regarded Yang Cheng as his savior. After all, without Yang Cheng, his entire family would have been finished, and the entire France would have fallen into the hands of that traitor Depney!
Even if Yang Cheng didn't do these things for him and his country, it didn't affect Fodessa's gratitude.
While Fodessa was driving the ship, Sauron held the Sword of Thanatos in the black box and walked up to him. "Your Majesty Pluto, how do you plan to deal with this sword?"
Yang Cheng looked at it with a complicated expression. He thought that the mysterious person would come and take the sword, but there wasn't even a shadow of him. He waved his hand and said, "You take it. When we return to Paris, let the Sea Eagles transport it back to the Forgotten Realms. Ask Ron to keep it for me. It's just an ordinary artifact. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to do anything even if they took it. It's useless for me to take it. "
Sauron was stunned. "Your Excellency, aren't you going back there to take a look?"
Yang Cheng chuckled and said with some regret, "I won't be going back this time. After all, I'm accompanying my wife to attend Paris Fashion Week. I have to go back to Hua Xia after it's over. I can't waste any time. Besides … Hua Xia still has a lot of things to deal with. It's not convenient for me to be away for too long. "
Old Master Tang's illness, his headache needed Jane to check and treat, Choi Yeon wanted him to bring her back to Beijing, Mad Dragon's reserve team training was coming to an end …
Moreover, Guo Xuehua, Mother Wang, and other family members were waiting for them to return. Yang Cheng didn't think that under such circumstances, Anxin would choose to visit his old friends.
Sauron and the others were slightly disappointed, but they respected Yang Cheng's decision.
Ten minutes later, Fodessa personally drove a transport ship to the port to pick up everyone. Then, they headed towards the direction of the destroyer.
When they were a few hundred meters away from the frozen sea, everyone felt a bone-piercing chill.
The pure white snow was like a huge ice floe in the North Pole, drifting to this area of the sea.
The image on the monitor was already shocking enough. Now that they were seeing it with their own eyes, they couldn't imagine what kind of method was used to create such a deadly ice domain!
"You guys don't have to go over. I'll be back immediately after I'm done." Yang Cheng also knew that the people on the ship wouldn't be able to withstand the temperature there, so he jumped off the deck and landed on the sea.
The group only saw Yang Cheng rise and fall a few times on the surface of the sea, as if the sea had become flat ground. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
On the destroyer that was already an "ice ship", Yang Cheng's figure flashed and landed in front of Stern and Alice.
The affectionate siblings were cuddling with each other. The bitter cold outside naturally had no effect on them. As for Lin Ruoxi and Harry, they were still lying inside the shield like before.
As for Depney, who was frozen in ice, he maintained his previous posture, not moving an inch.
Yang Cheng circled around Depney's body, as if carefully observing something.
"Hades, I really don't understand. What's there to study about this old man that made us wait for so long?" Stern said, curling his lips.
Yang Cheng glanced at him. "Aren't you curious? Even if the bow in his hand is a defective divine weapon, it's still a divine weapon. Any human expert, even the world's top secret agent, wouldn't be able to bring out the true power of a divine weapon when wielding it. But Depney really did bring out the power of a divine weapon.
Relying on that bow, he took three military bases by surprise. Although he might be bluffing, there's no doubt that he has the ability to control this ordinary divine weapon. "
Stern and Alice frowned. Although they knew that there was something fishy about this, they hadn't thought too much about it.
Yang Cheng stood in front of Depney and said, "Look carefully. Even if this guy is frozen in ice that's tens of degrees below zero, his blood is still flowing. This has already completely surpassed the limits of a human."
As he spoke, Yang Cheng touched the ice with one hand and infused some vital energy into it.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
After a series of crisp sounds, the ice around Depney shattered and scattered all over the ground!
Indeed, just as Yang Cheng had said, when the ice shattered, Depney didn't freeze. Instead, he sat down on the ground, panting with sweat all over his body.
"Eh, looks like this idiot's constitution really isn't ordinary." Alice knew best how cold the ice she'd frozen was. Humans couldn't possibly withstand it.
Yang Cheng smiled evilly and crouched down to stare at Depney. "Tell me your true background. You're definitely not an idiot impersonating Apollo. How did your body become like this? How did you learn about the Gods? How did you get the two divine weapons? Tell me, and I'll let you die a quick death."
Yang Cheng's meaning was clear. No matter what, you had to die! The only difference was whether it was a comfortable death or a painful one.
Depney's eyes were filled with unwillingness. He picked up the detonator in his hand and was about to press it when he suddenly realized that even if he detonated the nuclear bomb, it would be meaningless, because there was no one on the island.
Involuntarily, Depney angrily smashed the detonator into smithereens!
Yang Cheng wasn't in a hurry. Looking at Depney gasping for air with his head lowered, he had a card up his sleeve.
After a long while, Depney finally said in a low, hoarse voice, "It's … divine light."
Yang Cheng's mind was in turmoil. He never would've thought that it would actually be that reason!
"Divine light?! You've been shone on by divine light before?! "Yang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Depney sneered. "What, you don't believe me?"
Yang Cheng thought for a moment. "Continue. It's up to me whether I believe you or not."
"More than thirty years ago, I was in an underground research base in Madagascar. Together with many young people of the same age, I was captured to participate in a live experiment. I think Pluto is well aware of the organization that conducted the experiment, "Depney said.
"ZERO …" Yang Chen naturally knew who she was, because he was one of the human subjects who had been experimented on!
It was ZERO who had used the God's Stone to modify his body. It was also because of the God's Stone that he had enough capital to become a god. It was also because of the God's Stone that the tragedy of the past years had occurred.
A large part of the reason why Yang Cheng had personally destroyed ZERO back then was because he hated everything ZERO had done to him.
And he had established a new ZERO just to stabilize the order of the assassin world. There were no more live experiment projects.
Depney continued, "Actually, that experiment was a failure. At the time, I thought I was already dead … In fact, those mad scientists who did the experiment thought I was dead too. I don't know if it was because they made a mistake, or if something went wrong in some part of the experiment. Perhaps it was because there was a small deviation at the very edge where I was arranged to receive the divine light … In the end, I crawled out of the pile of corpses. "
The story that Depney told was actually very simple.
When he was young, this man had been exposed to the same divine light as Yang Cheng. However, there had been an anomaly in the experiment. Although he didn't have the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture as a life-saving secret like Yang Cheng, he had still survived.
Even though the experiment hadn't been completed, Depney, who had survived, discovered that his body was much, much stronger than that of an ordinary human.
At the time, Depney had harbored hatred in his heart and had always wanted to return to that base for revenge. However, after he had successfully risen to become the leader of the French Security Bureau, he had heard the news that ZERO had already been destroyed.
With complicated feelings, he once again returned to one of ZERO's bases that had been destroyed by Yang Cheng, wanting to confirm if it was true.
Unexpectedly, he had discovered a secret room that had been exposed due to a landslide!
In that secret room, Depney had found some documents regarding the gods, as well as the longbow and the Sword of Thanatos!
What happened next was just as Yang Cheng had deduced. After Depney obtained the divine artifact, his ambitions swelled, causing him to privately create the "Realm of Gods". Using the name of the gods, he took a risk out of desperation, thinking of controlling the political scene of the European Union and other countries.
Depney had been worried about whether or not he would be obstructed by the gods, but he was blinded by profit. Moreover, with the divine artifact in hand, especially after successfully destroying the first military base, his confidence swelled, and he couldn't care less about anything else.
After hearing Depney's words, Yang Cheng frowned. It wasn't that he doubted the veracity of Depney's words.
When a man was about to die, his words were always kind.
However, since an example like Depney had appeared, could there be other people in the world who had also survived the divine light?
There weren't many kung fu like the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture, but it definitely wasn't the only one in the world. If other people also had life-saving methods and were lucky enough to survive the divine light, could they have also obtained special powers?
From the fact that Depney could use the divine artifact even though he had only been illuminated by the divine light once and hadn't completely succeeded, it could be seen how powerful the power of the God's Stone was.
Yang Cheng even began to suspect that the mysterious person who had stolen the God's Stone and the divine power of the Holy Grail might have been like him, a fellow who had been illuminated by the divine light?! And not a god?!
Pondering these questions, Yang Cheng turned around and looked at Stern and Alice.
Stern understood Yang Cheng's doubts and shrugged, saying directly, "There's no need to ask us. We don't fully understand the use of the God's Stone. Otherwise, the first generation Hades wouldn't have done so many experiments."
Yang Cheng turned around and smiled at Depney. "Thank you, I'll send you on your way."
"You … Can't you let me go?" Depney pleaded with a pained expression.
Yang Cheng didn't say anything else. Raising his hand, he channeled his true energy into his palm and slammed it down!
Even if Depney had been illuminated by the divine light and had an extraordinary physique, he was still just a body of flesh and blood. How could he withstand it?
In the blink of an eye, Yang Cheng looked down at the headless corpse and shook off the stains on his hands. He wasn't in a good mood, because after asking, there were even more questions.
But just as he was feeling gloomy, Yang Cheng turned around and discovered something even more "ominous" —
Lin Ruoxi had actually woken up?!
