I would rather betray the gods

It wasn't until everyone noticed the hazy blue light on the ground and the blue-glowing phantom standing to the side that they realized what was going on.

The Grand Steward's technique aims to replicate future individuals. Anyone who leaves a footprint on the ground will have their image replicated by blue light on the ground. This image is a manifestation of the replicated person a few seconds into the future.

In other words, no matter what action Aries is about to take, the phantom will take the same action in advance.

"What if the phantom image moves east, and I move west?"

Aries scoffs at such trivial "avoidance" techniques, after all, the future is a choice.

"Then the God-King can give it a try."

The head butler adjusted his glasses.

At this moment, the phantom assumed an attack stance.

"Ridiculous, why would I engage in a pointless attack?"

Seeing this, Aries did not adopt an attack stance, but remained stationary, even though he had an urge to do so.

After a few seconds of stalemate, an animal carcass floating in the air fell down and hit him squarely.

He was protected by the armor of a god-king, so he felt neither pain nor itching, but it was extremely humiliating.

It was precisely because he deliberately remained still that he attracted this "unexpected disaster".

"This is the consequence of choosing a side road instead of the main road; the journey will be very bumpy."

"That's what the head butler said."

How could a mighty god-king tolerate being lectured? Aries flew into a rage, stomping his heel and shattering a vast area of ​​ground.

However, the chief steward's magic was not damaged, and the phantom image remained.

"How is that possible? The blue light on the ground has completely vanished!"

Aries was completely puzzled.

"Because the source of the art is neither on earth nor in me."

The head butler explained that he was secretly thinking about the mechs he had planted beforehand, and one of them was now in use.

Aries was very impressed with the head butler's intelligence and clapped his hands. "Pisces is fortunate to have a helper like you, but... will his good helper be able to withstand my attack at three times the speed?"

Having said that, he assumed an attack stance.

The gesture was exactly the same as the one he had just made when he refused to engage with the phantom.

Then, as he said, the speed was so fast that even if the head butler and his companion had a few seconds to anticipate it, what difference would it make, since they simply couldn't keep up with the speed of the prediction?

This was a real hardship for Banlan and the head steward. In the blink of an eye, they had taken countless punches, and the pain they felt was not at the same point as the blows they received. By the time they felt the blows, they had already been hit by the next punch or even the next punch after that. At such a frequency, they couldn't even see clearly, let alone defend themselves.

Finally, even the head butler's glasses were knocked off.

As a last resort, the chief steward could only activate the last two pre-installed mechs at the same time.

Then, a layer of illusory image appeared on him and Banlan, his red and Banlan's yellow.

He originally intended to create two spells, so the amount of star power reserved varied, and he used the extra power on Banlan.

The phantom image protected the body, absorbing all of the attacks from God King Aries.

The absorbed power will be transmitted to the corresponding mech in the distance, and the mech will then convert the power into light waves that scatter across the sky.

Once the tension eased, Banlan and the head butler Lingxi struck from both sides, kicking Aries in the ribs, forcing him back.

"We're saved."

The head butler touched his swollen face and said breathlessly.

"You look better without glasses."

Banlan looked at the head housekeeper's face and said that she had ice crystals protecting her body and only had some bruises on her face.

It was rare for Banlan to flatter him, and the head butler wanted to thank her, but then he realized that her words had a hidden meaning. She was mocking him for being beaten into a pig's head, and he was speechless.

He had to admire Banlan's composure; even in such a situation, she still had the mind to joke around.

"Be careful!"

Just as the head butler was distracted, Banlan suddenly gave a warning.

At the same time, Banlan leaped directly in front of the head steward, stretched out her hands, and quickly laid down a large ice crystal shield with her outer palms.

Immediately following, a powerful pressure pierced through the head butler's heart. Shocked, the head butler looked closely and saw Aries throw a punch of light at them!

The stream of light instantly engulfed them, shattered the ice crystal shield, and dispersed the protective phantoms on their bodies.

Even after the light faded, the aftershocks lingered, and both of them still suffered considerable physical damage.

After a long while, Banlan finally withdrew her trembling hands, panting heavily, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

To make matters worse.

"I'm so sorry, I'm a bit powerless against absolute power." The head butler knew that she was the first to bear most of the damage, but unfortunately his mecha was instantly overloaded and destroyed, so he couldn't help her much.

"That's more than enough. If it weren't for your phantom image, I really wouldn't have been able to stand here and block that attack."

Banlan thought to herself, "If I had known that God King Aries would personally come forward, I would never have confronted Green Robe's hammer head-on."

"I thought it would be more interesting, but it's getting increasingly boring. It's time to end it."

In the distance, Aries stretched his arms, then ripped off his cape and assumed an attack stance once more.

Judging from his appearance, he had just finished warming up.

At the same time, his iron cavalry army waved flags to cheer him on, their momentum shaking the heavens.

|Celestial Arts - Great Star Shield|

Banlan folded her hands together again, conjuring an even more solid ice crystal shield.

"Your injuries are quite serious, let me take over," the head butler tried to stop him.

"If I die, perhaps Aries will spare you. Remember, you'll have to take good care of Second Master from now on."

Banlan ignored him and continued talking to himself.

There was no point in saying more, so the head butler took a deep breath with a solemn expression.

Then, God King Aries's Flowing Light Fist struck again, its pressure several times greater than before.

The head steward understood that in Banlan's current state, even if he made a thick shield, it would be of no use.

So when the light shone down, he silently placed his hand on Banlan's shoulder.

Perhaps, if the two of them work together, there is still some hope; if they cannot stop it, then they will be annihilated together.

As expected, the shield shattered and the man was sent flying.

That's enough!

As his vision went blank, the head steward caught a glimpse of Banlan slowly collapsing but was powerless to help. He too was severely damaged by the immense pressure of the flowing light, coughing up blood before his consciousness went blank.

hum~

The head butler was awakened by the sound of his own tinnitus after an unknown period of time.

That doesn't make sense. Such a blow should cripple him even if it doesn't kill him. He thought to himself, while simultaneously sensing his surroundings; he felt no serious harm.

"Coo! Coo! Coo!"

He hadn't misheard, but he was puzzled because three thousand cavalrymen behind him were cheering and shouting!

What happened?

He quickly sat up, rubbed his eyes, and then looked ahead with blurred vision. He saw a figure standing in front of him and Banlan.

It's...it's Second Master!

He was greatly encouraged and exclaimed in his heart.

That's right, it's a pomelo. It was a bit slow because there was no mount, but thankfully it was in time.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; the Pisces Armor is still a god-king level suit of armor, and Yuzu, wearing the Pisces Armor, blocked the attack without getting hurt.

Seeing Banlan unable to get up, Youzi felt both heartache and anger, but since they were in the wrong first, he could only suppress his anger.

He walked up to her, carefully picked her up, and said, "It's alright, let's go home."

"Second Master, how did you manage to use a teleportation portal? I thought I'd never see you again."

Banlan suddenly looked as aggrieved as a child, with tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

"I'm not stupid, I'll ask!"

Yuzu smiled gently.

Then, he turned around with Banlan in his arms, facing Aries directly. His expression darkened, and he said, "They have already received the punishment they deserved for trespassing on Aries' territory. Today, I will bring them back."

Aries remained silent with a furious expression for a while, then waved his hand, signaling the heavy cavalry to make way.

"Second Master, I've disappointed you. I let the inner demon escape."

"It's alright, your inner demons can't bring you peace."

"Second Master..."

Amidst the repeated calls of "Second Master" from Banlan, the gentle replies from Youzi, and the seemingly oblivious interaction between master and servant, the Pisces army methodically passed through the gap cleared by the Aries heavy cavalry...
