Ling Shu found a seat and then raised his hand to gesture for Seele and Ilya to temporarily 'cease fire'.

"I have something important to say."

He knew that these two goddesses were both sensible, so without waiting for their response, he explained directly, "I'm ready to 'strike'."

"Since the situation related to 'Heavenly Fire' can't be delayed any longer, let's finish this quickly."

Ling Shu looked at the blue-eyed girl (goddess) and said, "Goddess Prometheus, come with me."

"I don't know the exact coordinates of Olympia, so I'll have to trouble you to guide me."

Hearing him say that...

Are you really fully prepared?

"Hmm~"

Ling Shu nodded.

"Well."

Prometheus agreed, "Let's not delay, let's set off now..."

"and many more."

Seele frowned and interjected, "I want to go too."

"..."

Ling Shu was speechless.

I just said she knew what was important, and then she pulls this stunt?

have no choice……

"This time, you should stay."

Ling Shu knew what Xi'er was worried about, and immediately added, "Xi'er, as you know, the upcoming battle will have a very wide impact and cause a huge commotion."

"Once war breaks out, no place in the surrounding area will be safe."

"But I cannot protect you while confronting multiple powerful enemies at the same time."

He turned to Prometheus, “In fact, you can’t stay around the battlefield either… After the guidance is finished, I will have Mona teleport you back directly.”

"Then wait for my good news."

Hearing him say that...

"..."

Seele and Illya remained silent.

a long time……

"understood."

Seele didn't insist further. After a soft sigh, she said, "Then... before we set off, let me update your [ability stats] one more time."

"it is good."

Chapter 338 The Valkyrie of the Shining Tracer

Olympia

As an overseas permanent divine realm that can be called the 'fourth secret realm in the world', it once had a unique civilization that was isolated from the world.

But now, everything has been burned to ashes by the eruption of the 'Heavenly Fire'.

The streets were cracked, and the temple collapsed.

Almost all the natives were burned to death by the filthy 'hellfire' and transformed into monsters that devour reason—the Flame People.

Only a very small number of refugees remained, having successfully left this place of trouble with the help of Aphrodite's family.

today……

"Judging from this, there are probably about fifteen minutes left."

A boy with brown curly hair (?) stood with his arms crossed in one of the few safe zones where he wouldn't be attacked by fire people or fire beasts, looking up at the figure in the sky, and mentioned it like this.

At this moment, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a wicked and playful smile, like a ruthless online troll who had just finished stirring up a huge wave of controversy, watching various groups of people who were originally without any worries tearing each other apart and hurling insults at each other in front of the screen, enjoying the pleasure of seemingly 'controlling others'.

This is the top of a huge statue.

Aside from this brown-haired boy (?)...

"You mean, it won't be long before the 'Heavenly Fire Barrier,' which Helios specifically strengthened to enhance its 'internal sealing effect,' is broken?"

The other person had a darker complexion and long blue hair, with strands falling from the right side of their neck to their left shoulder... Yes, a classic 'dangerous hairstyle'.

This man's name was Epimetheus.

It was the 'Great Hero of the Flame Sword' who has lived for over three thousand years.

At this moment, he stood side by side with the evil god (Phaethon), wielding the Flaming Vulture Greatsword - Aidon, controlling the sun god whose internal organs had been devoured by him and who was like a walking corpse, as he attacked the 'Heavenly Fire Barrier'.

During the conversation...

"Probably so."

The brown-haired boy... Phaethon said with a sneer, "Helios is really something, always causing us so much trouble in the end."

"Alright, in another ten minutes or so, my 'Great Plague' will be completed."

He stepped forward, spreading his arms wide. "Epimetheus, such a beautiful sight should indeed be appreciated with you."

"Don't worry, now that you've helped me fulfill my long-cherished wish, I'll personally come and be a 'loyal audience member' of your performance."

"Believe me, it will probably only take seven or eight minutes. Once the puppet god (Helios) absorbs the tainted 'Heavenly Fire,' you will definitely be able to accomplish the unprecedented feat of successfully defeating the black dragon."

As mentioned before, most of the gods who came to the lower realm had their own 'supreme' goals to pursue.

Artemis's 'Orion', Freya's 'Ode', Dionysus's 'Feast of Madness', Icelus's 'Dream of the Beast'... and so on.

What Phaethon sought was the raging fire of the earth—the 'Great Firestorm'.

He longed to see the beings of the lower realms struggling during the 'Great Flame Calamity,' their bodies burning, unable to find even a source of water to extinguish the flames.

Because by then, the ocean will be completely evaporated.

And then, the last ten minutes or so...

"Pfft~"

Without warning, the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh reached my ears.

"Ugh?"

The evil god, whose heart had been pierced, was stunned for a moment.

immediately……

"Cough~"

Spitting out a mouthful of divine blood, Phaethon glared at the tall man standing behind him and uttered vile words, "Epimetheus...you bastard, you know what you're doing..."

"Don't get me wrong."

The ancient hero, who had long since turned to the dark side, sneered, "You think you can manipulate me with such obvious manipulation tactics?"

"I'm sorry, but in fact, you've been the one being used all along."

Epimetheus despised 'heroes'.

Similarly, they also despise the gods who are closely associated with heroes.

Especially evil gods like Phaethon, who are like overgrown children and spoiled brats, would make him feel nauseous.

Therefore, there's no need to hesitate about doing things that seem taboo.

"I should still thank you a little, you self-righteous god-man."

Epimetheus turned his head to look at the figure suspended high in the sky. "Originally, I thought that if I could obtain the full power of the 'Hellfire,' the plan would be a success."

"But now, even the sun god's 'divine power' is under my control... This is indeed an unexpected surprise."

"you……"

"Click~"

Epimetheus finished saying what he wanted to say, without paying any attention to Phaethon's intention to make noise.

At that moment, he spun the Flaming Vulture Greatsword that was piercing the latter's heart with a sudden twist...

"Boom~"

A towering golden beam of light shot straight up from the top of the colossal statue.

It even gave an invisible boost, dispersing the last bit of stubbornness of the "Heavenly Fire Barrier".

At this point, the lone hero Yan Jian turned to look at the sky outside, where night had already fallen...

"Sure enough, in the end, no one could stop me."

Epimetheus's words were loaded with meaning, as if he was still hoping that someone would stand before him.

But in the end...

"Tch~ Just as I thought, 'heroes' and all that stuff is bullshit."

A middle-aged man with dark skin and blue hair raised his red and white greatsword high, saying, "Next, we just need to wait for the sun god (Helios) to completely absorb the corrupted 'Heavenly Fire'."

"The last seven minutes."

"The black dragon (the lower realm) will be vanquished by me."

******

In the understanding of all beings in the lower realms... and even the gods who come to the lower realms, it takes at least a full week to travel from the labyrinth city of Orario to the divine capital of Olympia.

The time difference between seven days and 'seven minutes' is undoubtedly excessive.

But, that evening, about three minutes earlier...
