However, Zeus easily deflected the attack and headed straight for the Eye of Heaven in the void, looking like he was determined to fight.
"Should we stop him? Or..."
This situation left Yi Shuihan somewhat uncertain. He couldn't figure out what benefit Zeus would gain from doing this—seizing the origin? Yi Shuihan didn't believe Zeus could do something so sophisticated. Even his system couldn't forcibly seize the origin in the face of the current Heavenly Dao.
Just as Yi Shuihan was hesitating, Zeus approached the Eye of Heaven and suddenly threw something out of his hand, which looked like a lotus seed.
As soon as the lotus seed appeared, it quickly approached the Eye of Heaven and then, before the Eye of Heaven could even react, instantly merged into the Heavenly Dao.
In the eyes of the eye.
This time, the Eye of Heaven finally retaliated, unleashing a divine punishment that even Yi Shuihan found terrifying, which struck Zeus.
"That's definitely a gold-level attack power. Could Zeus be killed?"
Putting himself in her shoes, Yi Shuihan felt that he might survive, but he would definitely be seriously injured.
Under Yi Shuihan's astonished gaze, Zeus calmly took out another item, a small shield. He gave a soft shout and threw the shield out, which just blocked the heavenly punishment.
That divine punishment, whose power could easily destroy the Earth countless times, was simply worn away by the shield.
"Crack!"
Having blocked the divine punishment, the shield lost its original brilliance and shattered.
A hint of reluctance appeared in Zeus's eyes, but he quickly became resolute.
Seeing that Zeus hadn't been dealt with, the Eye of Heaven wanted to launch an even more powerful attack, but this time its attack was delayed.
The lotus seed took effect; the aura emanating from the Eye of Heaven suddenly became fluctuating in strength.
"If I'm not mistaken, there is an image of lotus seeds in the Eye of Heaven."
Despite his outward appearance, Yi Shuihan was genuinely unaware of the reason behind the events and didn't know what to do.
"That's about it. Success or failure will be revealed soon."
Zeus stared intently in the direction of the Eye of Heaven, making no further move.
Time slowly passed, the Eye of Heaven struggled, and all living beings in this world felt an inexplicable discomfort in their souls, as if something was slipping away.
"What's wrong, Aphrodite? Are you alright?"
After collecting the golden lotuses, Aphrodite returned to Yi Shuihan's side. At this moment, her brows were furrowed, and she looked as if she was enduring pain.
"I don't know either? I just feel really bad."
Hearing Yi Shuihan's concern, Aphrodite forced a smile and said.
"Damn it, this is Zeus's doing. If anything really happens to Aphrodite, Zeus, you're dead for sure."
Yi Shuihan realized that all of this was related to Zeus's previous actions, and Yi Shuihan became furious with Zeus. Seeing Aphrodite becoming more and more uncomfortable, Yi Shuihan felt even more heartache.
Just as Yi Shuihan was about to go and ask Zeus for an explanation, a violent roar came from the sky, and the Eye of Heaven exploded violently. Golden blood flowed from the Eye of Heaven and flew out in the blink of an eye.
Upon seeing the Heavenly Blood, which was the size of a washbasin, Zeus went mad and flew frantically toward it, as if he wanted to devour it.
At this moment, Yi Shuihan also realized that Zeus's true purpose was the blood of the Heavenly Dao. Without hesitation, his figure disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye, and he even activated time stop.
"No matter what your intentions are, I'm going to take this Blood of Heaven first."
When Zeus's hand was less than a hand's width away from the Heavenly Blood, Yi Shuihan appeared before him, and then, right before his eyes...
He then took the blood of the Heavenly Dao into his hand and looked at Zeus with a smile.
Zeus's eyes turned red when Yi Shuihan thwarted his carefully planned scheme. He looked at Yi Shuihan with the hatred of someone who had killed his wife and taken his children, as if he were determined to fight to the death.
"Give it back to me."
A roar made Yi Shuihan's ears ring, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
"This thing doesn't belong to you, so why should I return it to you? Its original owner was the Heavenly Dao, and its current owner is me, because I obtained it before you."
He spoke slowly and deliberately, even with a slight smile on his face.
To Zeus, that smile was a mockery, a sarcastic remark that the fruits of his labor had been taken by someone else.
“You are not qualified to possess that thing. If you give it to me, I can truly make you the King of the Underworld and replace Hades as one of the twelve Olympian gods.”
Zeus wanted to use benefits to get Yi Shuihan to hand over the Blood of Heaven, but he didn't know that Yi Shuihan's Hades clone had already completely taken control of the Underworld and didn't need his help at all. Moreover, what he said now seemed to Yi Shuihan to be just empty promises with very low credibility.
Having obtained the Blood of Heaven, Yi Shuihan had already inquired about its function from the system. He had no intention of handing it over to Zeus in the first place, and now he was even less likely to do so.
"What a wonderful thing! No wonder Zeus was willing to risk offending the heavens to get it."
Holding the Blood of Heaven, Yi Shuihan felt a surge of satisfaction, especially seeing Zeus's aggrieved expression, which further heightened her pleasure.
Several percentage points.
Zeus took a deep breath, and his expression gradually relaxed. Of course, this was only a superficial phenomenon. His eyes remained unchanged, filled with murderous intent towards Yi Shuihan.
"Since that's the case, then let's see if you're destined to have it."
Chapter 889, Who is the real master of lightning?
Who is the true master of lightning?
With Zeus's declaration, Yi Shuihan had officially entered into war with him.
The gods who noticed this scene all had different expressions. They hadn't understood Zeus's previous actions either, but anyone with a brain would know that Zeus had a big plan.
Even though the main gods have grown stronger, they still have no intention of opposing Zeus for the time being, due to the prestige he has established as the king of gods. Otherwise, they would probably have gone to fight for the Blood of Heaven with Yi Shuihan just now. Of course, whether they could have succeeded is another matter.
"Where are you going? Let men handle men's affairs."
Hera, the queen of the gods, stood in front of Aphrodite, blocking her way.
In the past, Aphrodite would have felt inferior to Hera and wouldn't have had the courage to look her in the eye. But now...
Holding Gungnir in one hand, Aphrodite stared defiantly at Hera, the goddess she had never dared to defy before, without uttering a word.
Looking at Gungnir in Aphrodite's hand, Hera's eyes flashed with a hint of apprehension, and she felt a pang of jealousy, jealous that Yi Shuihan would entrust such a powerful artifact to Aphrodite.
This goddess of beauty, whom she had never taken seriously in the past, now possessed a power that threatened her. She was even unwilling to admit it, and she did not want to confront Aphrodite, who wielded Gungnir.
It's quite incredible that Hera was more nervous than Aphrodite.
Aphrodite brandished Gungnir, and Hera's expression changed. Then, the Queen of the Goddess discovered that Aphrodite was smiling at her, and she was furious.
"It's all because of him."
Aphrodite looked at the man standing opposite Zeus in the void, and felt incredibly happy. She found confidence in Hera.
In the end, Aphrodite did not blindly rush to help Yi Shuihan. It wasn't that she was afraid; she was willing in her heart. However, she understood Yi Shuihan and knew that he wouldn't want her to go up there. Moreover, she believed in Yi Shuihan and believed that her man could defeat Zeus.
Aphrodite's choice relieved Hera, but at the same time made her even more annoyed. When did she, the queen of the gods, have to care about the goddess of beauty's attitude? If it weren't for Gungnir, she would definitely have dealt with the goddess of beauty.
"She really did find a good man."
In a forest, Artemis noticed the unseen clash between Aphrodite and Hera and remarked with some emotion.
Many of the main gods share similar thoughts with Artemis, but they are now more concerned about the outcome of the battle between Yi Shuihan and Zeus.
While Yi Shuihan and Zeus were confronting each other, the Eye of Heaven was also rapidly recovering. Having lost some of the blood of Heaven, the Eye of Heaven had become much weaker. Of course, even when it was weak, it was still beyond the comprehension of Bai Yin.
Are you worried about Heaven settling scores later?
Yi Shuihan keenly sensed that Zeus was somewhat impatient.
Yi Shuihan was not surprised by this. If Zeus was not worried about the retaliation of Heaven, then Zeus's ability was truly remarkable. He even had to consider whether or not to confront Zeus.
Zeus was in a hurry, but Yi Shuihan was not. He didn't mind joining forces with the Heavenly Dao to confront Zeus. Of course, he wouldn't deliberately stall for time. He would not hold back if he could defeat Zeus before the Heavenly Dao made a move.
"Thunder Wing!"
A pair of enormous wings made entirely of lightning appeared behind Zeus, and lightning flashed constantly around his body, as if the god of thunder had descended to earth.
"In that case, let's see who the real master of lightning is."
Compared to Zeus's imposing presence, Yi Shuihan's aura was much smaller. He wore battle armor, and on top of that, he was wrapped in a layer of lightning armor, making him appear considerably less imposing than Zeus.
Those who truly know their stuff won't be swayed by superficial appearances; they see something deeper. Although Yi Shuihan's lightning is less powerful, it's far more dangerous than Zeus's. Zeus's lightning couldn't destroy Hades's soul, but Yi Shuihan's lightning could.
"Is that the power that killed Hades?"
Zeus's eyes revealed a hint of fear. He had no idea that he had actually faced this power once before, but he had been unaware of it the whole time.
Yi Shuihan never underestimated Zeus, even though he had fought Zeus once and was basically familiar with Zeus's moves.
Compared to last time, Yi Shuihan's progress was remarkable, while Zeus seemed to have reached the peak of Silver and had no possibility of further improvement. Logically speaking, Yi Shuihan, who had the upper hand before, could have even killed Zeus instantly this time. However, after Zeus showed the lotus seeds and shield, Yi Shuihan changed his mind.
The lotus seed, capable of harming the Heavenly Dao, and the shield, comparable to a strike from a Gold Saint, are things even Yi Shuihan could not accomplish.
Yi Shuihan was constantly on guard against Zeus suddenly pulling out a powerful weapon, and only half of his attention was on the opponent's strength.
With a flap of his thunder wings, Zeus appeared before Yi Shuihan at a speed even slightly faster than teleportation. Teleportation involves entering one space and then exiting another, which are two separate processes. The time Zeus used was equivalent to only one of these processes.
Yi Shuihan was already extremely familiar with this speed, and easily increased his own speed as well. Although he seemed to be a little slower than Zeus, he easily withstood the opponent's attack by relying on his familiarity with Zeus.
Zeus was frustrated because he felt that his attacks seemed to be completely seen through by Yi Shuihan, who always seemed to anticipate his attacks and block his path.
The battle in the void resembled two shooting stars constantly colliding and flashing. Even in broad daylight, the sunlight could not completely obscure these two shooting stars.
There was no sound, or rather, the sound was completely inaudible to ordinary people. It was an infrasound wave with a frequency of only a few hertz, which continued to spread at the point of the battle between the two. It was fortunate that they were fighting in the void, otherwise all the creatures around them would have been in danger.
Their control over power was perfect; their energy was extremely concentrated. The aftershocks of their battles appeared small on the surface, but were actually far more lethal.
Chapter 890, Do you really think I'm not dead?
Do you really think I'm not dead?
Zeus grew angrier as the fight went on, because he felt he was stronger than Yi Shuihan in terms of pure speed and power, but the situation turned out to be evenly matched.
He felt that all his research on combat techniques over countless millennia had been in vain. Some of the techniques that Zeus had developed were known only to him. Moreover, he believed that the special moves he had used in his first battle outside were completely useless against Yi Shuihan. Yi Shuihan looked at him as if he were a fool.
"I refuse to believe that all the moves are completely useless."
Zeus also went all out, unleashing a frenzied barrage of attacks using techniques he remembered, completely disregarding the energy consumption.
Seeing this, Yi Shuihan was secretly pleased and calmly neutralized Zeus's attack in a way that consumed the least amount of energy.
After a fierce attack, taking advantage of Zeus's moment to recover, Yi Shuihan said provocatively...
"Saint Seiya's techniques can be seen through once they've been used, meaning they become ineffective the second time. But for me, any technique you haven't used before becomes useless the first time you use it. So you're a million years too early to defeat me."
Zeus was furious! His beard bristled with rage, and his face turned bright red. But he couldn't refute it, for the facts were undeniable, and he couldn't find any words to refute them.
Seeing Zeus's almost irrational gaze, Yi Shuihan chuckled inwardly, not feeling ashamed at all. It was clearly the second time he had seen the opponent's move, yet he insisted it was the first time.
Suddenly, a powerful fluctuation came from the direction of the Eye of Heaven. Zeus's expression changed, and he became calm again as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
Zeus gave Yi Shuihan a deep look, then took out a small sword, placed it in his palm, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Is it finally here?"
Yi Shuihan felt no threat from the small sword; it seemed to be just a toy. Of course, he wouldn't dare treat it as a toy. It was impossible for Zeus to use a small toy to make a joke at this time.
With that small shield as a cautionary tale, Yi Shuihan dared not be careless in the slightest. He was more focused than ever before, ready to unleash his power of time at any moment. He did not intend to confront this wave head-on.
Even with all his confidence, Yi Shuihan felt a little uneasy facing this item, which might be of the gold level.
Killing Yi Shuihan is definitely impossible. With the system, Yi Shuihan always has a way out. However, if they lose, it means Yi Shuihan will have to leave this world, and Aphrodite and Xiao Jie will suffer.
"go with!"
Zeus tossed the small sword in front of him, and it quickly grew from the size of a toy to the size of an ordinary sword, radiating an astonishing killing intent. At that moment, the whole world felt a surge of blood energy and could faintly smell the stench of blood.
It felt like being in a sea of blood; the suffocating sensation would drive anyone with weak willpower to suicide.
Although Earth was far from the battlefield, some people were still affected, and approximately tens of thousands of creatures lost their lives as a result.
None of this was within Yi Shuihan's focus; his eyes were fixed solely on that sword, his pupils constricted, mobilizing everything he could.
The power, ready at any time, um, that, slip away.
The sword disappeared from Yi Shuihan's sight; he couldn't even see a trace of its trajectory.
He cried out in his heart that something was wrong and used Time Stop without hesitation. The power of Time Stop had only spread to within 10 meters of Yi Shuihan's body when he discovered the sword. The sword was undoubtedly affected by the power of time, and it was still incredibly fast. Yi Shuihan could only see a shadow of it.
Driven by his instinctive sense of danger, Yi Shuihan shifted his body slightly, then felt a sharp pain in his shoulder; a bloody hole had appeared in his shoulder.
"Fortunately, it's not the worst-case scenario; at least our combat strength isn't greatly affected."
Just as this thought flashed through Yi Shuihan's mind, he was dumbfounded when he looked up at Zeus, because the same small sword that was exactly the same as the one from before was clearly visible in Zeus's palm.
"They're trying to crush me with props! This is way too overpowered!"
Now Yi Shuihan finally understands the frustration Zeus felt before. As someone who always had cheat codes, he has encountered someone with even more powerful cheat codes than him for the first time.
