The Death Note was a very unique note. According to an ancient legend, anyone who left their name on the Death Note would die a violent death.
This legend had been circulating in the West for hundreds of years, but nobody knew if it was true or false. That was because the Death Note had always been in the hands of Skull Guild.
It was precisely because possessing the Death Note represented that the Grim Reaper controlled the power of death that Skull Guild used Skull as their emblem. That was why they had the name Skull Guild.
In truth, Skull Guild's internal name was Brotherhood. It meant that everyone who joined the guild was like a brother, helping each other through life and death.
Regarding the might of the Death Note, the world of transcendents had always been doubtful. If writing someone's name on the Death Note could kill them, nobody would dare to go against Skull Guild.
In the past hundreds of years, Skull Guild had suffered many setbacks. Although they had persevered, it was not related to the Death Note.
Generally speaking, writing one's name on the Death Note was a way for Skull Guild to express their stance. It meant that they wanted to label this person as their mortal enemy.
Skull Guild was a wealthy and powerful organization. Whoever they wanted to kill, they rarely failed. The Death Note had become a declaration of death.
Gao Zhengyang had risen up powerfully like a blazing sun in the sky, radiating radiance in all directions. He had killed another two experts from Skull Guild. Skull Guild indeed had a reason to kill him.
The problem was, with the peerless martial strength that Gao Zhengyang displayed, could the Skull Society kill him?
During the battle at Mount Fuji, Gao Zhengyang had killed S-class experts like cutting grass. Judging from the strength he had displayed, it would take at least 20 or more S-class powerhouses to kill Gao Zhengyang.
Skull Guild could gather 20 S-class experts, but even if they could kill Gao Zhengyang, it was unknown how many people would die. Could Skull Guild withstand such a destructive attack?
Apollo felt that it was impossible. Not a single transcendent organization in the world would be able to withstand such a loss. Wanting to kill Gao Zhengyang was understandable, but risking the destruction of their organization to kill him was something Apollo could not understand.
Skull Guild had even publicly announced that they wanted to kill Gao Zhengyang. This was even stranger. Even if they wanted to make a move, they would have made careful preparations in private to kill the enemy in one strike.
But now, he was doing it with great fanfare, as if he was afraid that Gao Zhengyang didn't know that someone was trying to kill him!
The more Apollo thought about it, the more confused he became. "What does the Skull Guild want?"
Hera glanced at Apollo, dissatisfied with his slow response. She said, "The Skull and Bones Society has sent a badge of brotherhood, asking us to help them. He even promised to give us the Sea Emperor's Halberd after everything is done. "
The Brotherhood Badge was a token of the Skull and Bones Society. With the Brotherhood Badge, one could make a request to the Skull and Bones Society. Of course, this request could not be too excessive. In the hands of an ordinary person, the Brotherhood Badge would not be of any use.
The true meaning was that the Skull Society owed him a favor. Therefore, the brotherhood badge was not useless, but it had a greater symbolic meaning.
The Sea Emperor's Halberd was an extremely powerful divine weapon.
The Order of Skulls was used to giving orders to the European Transcendent World. By taking out these two items, he had already expressed his sincerity. At least from Hera's point of view, the terms were generous.
"The Sea Sovereign's Halberd was originally ours!"
Apollo was a little angry. The Poseidon's Halberd was originally the Pantheon Alliance's most powerful divine weapon, known to be able to control the four oceans. Although exaggerated, the Poseidon's ability to control water was indeed very powerful.
If it fell into the hands of an S-rank expert proficient in water abilities, the Poseidon's Halberd could multiply his combat power. In terms of combat power, the Poseidon's Halberd was ten times stronger than the Spear of Eternity.
In the 1940s of the last century, the World War broke out. The Pantheon Alliance suffered heavy losses, and the Poseidon's Halberd was snatched away by the Reverse Cross.
After the Reverse Cross was defeated, the Poseidon's Halberd fell into the hands of the Skull and Bones Society. At that time, the Skull and Bones Society was extremely powerful. The Pantheon Alliance asked for it a few times, but after being rejected, the matter was left unsettled.
Apollo did not want to become enemies with Gao Zhengyang. No matter how good the Poseidon's Halberd was, it was useless to him. How could it compare to the Blood Spirit Pill? Moreover, was Gao Zhengyang that easy to kill?
He cursed a few times before saying, "I strongly disagree. I'd rather not have the Poseidon's Halberd than be dragged down by the Skull and Bones Society. "
Hera scrutinized Apollo and said with some curiosity, "I heard that Gao Zhengyang is proficient in mind control. Don't tell me you're being controlled by him? Why are you speaking up for him?"
"How is that possible!"
Apollo hastily denied. "If Gao Zhengyang could control S-rank experts at will, this world would have been his long ago!"
Hera smiled. Of course, she understood this logic. She was only saying this to mock Apollo.
Apollo took out a small medicine box and handed it to Hera. "This was given to me by Gao Zhengyang. It's a very miraculous medicine."
Hera opened the medicine box and looked at the sparkling, jade-like blood-colored pill. She asked curiously, "What medicine is this?"
"The Federation is an ancient country. They have a traditional religion, Taoism. In ancient times, they liked to refine pills. Just like our ancient alchemists in the West. The difference is that they didn't pursue gold, but immortality. "
Apollo pointed at the Blood Spirit Pill. "This is the elixir of immortality refined by Gao Zhengyang!"
Hera used two fingers to carefully pick up the Blood Spirit Pill. She asked in disbelief, "This little thing can give you immortality?"
The ability of an S-rank expert was very powerful. Modern science was still unable to analyze the various mechanisms of an ability. However, no matter how powerful an ability was, it still had its limits.
Hera absolutely didn't believe that Gao Zhengyang could refine an elixir of immortality.
Apollo was somewhat displeased. He said solemnly, "I've tried it. This medicine is indeed miraculous. It can give a person a miraculous power. It's like becoming two or three years younger in an instant. The feeling is very obvious and very real. "
He said to Hera, "If you don't believe me, you can try it!"
Hera shook her head. "I won't eat such a messy thing."
She thought for a moment. "Take it for pharmacological analysis and test its composition."
Apollo forcefully shook his head. "No, this thing can't be tested. Gao Zhengyang had said that this was actually a condensation of Esper Abilities. It can't be analyzed with modern science. If you don't dare to eat it, give it to me. "
Hera laughed. "You believe everything Gao Zhengyang says. You!"
Although he said that, Apollo's insistence made Hera value the Blood Spirit Pill a bit more. She said, "There's someone in the base who's about to die. Give him the medicine …"
Apollo was a bit reluctant, but he still had to convince Hera about this. He could only nod in agreement.
The next morning, Hera called Apollo to her office. She looked at Apollo with a complicated gaze.
Apollo's face was full of pride. "How is it? Do you believe me now?"
Although Hera didn't want to admit it, the effects were there. She had to admit that the Blood Spirit Pill was indeed special. She said, "I really can't imagine how he did it."
"He used his ability to condense it. I saw it very clearly. "
Apollo said enticingly, "We don't care what the Skull Society wants to do, but Gao Zhengyang can refine the elixir of immortality. That's the key."
Hera sighed deeply. "Gao Zhengyang isn't under our control. Even if his elixir of immortality has no side effects, we will still be controlled by him in the future and eventually become his subordinates …"
"As long as we can live forever, it's not unacceptable to have another boss."
Apollo didn't care. Since Gao Zhengyang wanted to control them, it meant that they were useful. Between a free death and a controlled life, he chose the latter without hesitation.
Hera hesitated. Of course she wanted to live forever, but she didn't want to be someone's subordinate. As the Empress of God, she played an important role in the supernatural world. She was the only one who gave orders, but no one asked her to do anything.
"Go see Gao Zhengyang and exchange the information about the Death Note for a few elixirs."
Hera said, "I'll make things clear with the Skull Society. Let's not interfere in this matter. Let them fight it out. "
Apollo nodded. Of course, being in the middle was not a good choice. But being in the middle was the safest.
Of course, both sides would hate the middle, but no one would be so stupid as to attack the middle.
After two days, Apollo once again arrived in Japan. As soon as he left the airport, he was stopped by a tall, thin man.
The man had bright purple hair and wore a black trench coat that looked like a missionary's uniform. His face was as pale as paper. A pair of green eyes that had sunk deep into their eye sockets were as dull as glass balls. He didn't seem to have any emotions.
"Lucifer …" Apollo's handsome face was filled with cautiousness. The other party was the famous Angel of Death. He was also the vice leader of the Skull Society. He was also one of the twelve directors of the Dark Association.
Lucifer never liked to show his face. Apollo had known him for decades, but he had only seen him twice. Including this time, it was the third time.
Lucifer stared at Apollo with his dull green eyes and said slowly, "What you're doing is a betrayal!"
Apollo hurriedly explained, "I'm looking for Gao Zhengyang for something else. It has nothing to do with you."
Lucifer was expressionless, as if he didn't hear Apollo's explanation at all. He continued, "You've made the wrong choice. In the end, you can only go to Hell."
Apollo was helpless. Lucifer was famous for being a psychopath. Normal people couldn't communicate with him at all. But he had no choice but to explain. He could only continue, "Lucifer, I promise I won't get involved in the matter between you and Gao Zhengyang."
"Gao Zhengyang will destroy this world! Destroy all of us! "
After saying this, Lucifer's figure slowly became weak, and finally disappeared quietly like a phantom.
Apollo didn't dare to be careless. He raised his guard and observed the passengers around him. After a while, when the dangerous aura that enveloped him dissipated, he quickly left.
"He was almost scared to death by you. Look at his back, it's drenched …"
In a skyscraper dozens of miles away, the tall and fat Jackson looked at the surveillance screen and laughed loudly.
Lucifer, who sat opposite him, was expressionless. "Apollo has always been a coward. He likes to hide in the back and shoot arrows."
Lucifer wasn't criticizing. He was just stating what he thought was the truth.
His calm tone made Jackson unable to continue laughing. He rolled his eyes. "You've always been so boring."
Lucifer's expression was indifferent as if he couldn't hear him.
Jackson said helplessly, "What should we do next? “
"According to the Japanese's arrangement, Gao Zhengyang and the others will go out to sea tomorrow."
