I let the genie out of the bottle

"Tsk—trust..." The loli demon's lips curled up slightly, and she uttered a sound that was hard to tell whether it was a sigh or a taunt.

"I just feel it's best to be a little cautious," Lu Ye said casually.

The mocking voices that usually filled his ears did not ring out, which surprised Lu Ye, who raised an eyebrow in surprise.

I thought she would pretend to be sad and cry nonstop, just like she always does...

However, given the tight schedule, he didn't have time to think too much.

Having previously defeated Liliana of the Bronze Black Cross, he estimated that someone was already on their way. Therefore, even if his infiltration wouldn't be discovered for a while, he didn't have much time left.

With that in mind, he carefully avoided any places that might attract attention and headed straight for the location the loli demon had pointed out to him.

only--

"The atmosphere is...unexpectedly off."

After taking a step, Lu Ye said in a somewhat hoarse voice.

pressure.

Killing intent.

Sense of crisis

This is probably what Ding Yi felt after inspecting the surface of the water droplet probe launched by the Trisolarans to Earth in The Three-Body Problem.

And that sentence—

"Silly child, run!" Lu Ye muttered to himself, then turned around and rushed towards the door without hesitation.

I can go to hell!

If you don't run at a time like this, are you just waiting to die?

however--

"Today, you have invaded my temple, just as you have invaded my land in the past—"

A voice filled with authority and hatred suddenly rang out.

Like thunder, and like a raging wind.

A sacred tone echoed across the entire sky.

The "person," dressed in a priest's robe several sizes too small, raised the sword in their hand.

"Why is the wolf god, worshipped by the Huns, in such a hurry to leave!"

"Today, I will wash away my humiliation with your blood!"

"Today, I will use your corpse to avenge my hatred!"

"Today, I will use your head to sacrifice for my land!"

The High Priest slowly raised the sword in his hand, his golden eyes filled with coldness and killing intent, his face grim.

His gaze fell on Lu Ye, who was fleeing in panic, but what was reflected in his pupils was a gray wolf.

"Wolf God of Evil—I am here today—" He raised his divine sword high and hurled it with great force.

"I will surely cut off your head!"

The roar of God was like a sudden clap of thunder.

The divine sword arrived in an instant, like a lightning bolt exploding.

"Tsk." Lu Ye was prepared and rolled over several times to barely avoid the blow, which was more like a venting of anger.

Even so, a large amount of blood appeared on his back.

Ignoring the pain, Lu Ye rolled over and got up, his eyes warily fixed on the enraged "person".

No, it should be called God.

Although it still looks like a human body, its inner spirit has long been replaced by something strange.

Or rather, it was the will of God that descended upon the bodies of mortals.

The only thing to be thankful for is that he doesn't seem to have descended completely, but only sent down a portion of his divine power and will.

"Mars--"

Looking at the "god" opposite him, with just a wave of his hand, the sword he had thrown obediently returned to his hand.

How could Lu Ye not know his identity?

"Mars!"

The demon inside the bottle slowly revealed a slightly stiff smile.

"Cough cough."

The girl coughed and slowly woke up.

She could feel that her head was resting on a soft surface.

"Awake?" a familiar voice asked gently.

"Teacher?" Liliana exclaimed in surprise, then immediately realized what was happening, her face filled with fear. "Teacher is going to the Temple of Mars! You must stop her—"

“Liliana.” Diana pressed down on her shoulder with her free hand, preventing her from sitting up and making her continue to rest her head on her lap. “It’s too late.”

As she spoke, she pointed to the Temple of Mars in the distance.

The once well-preserved and imposing main hall now appears as if it had been cleaved in two by a sword, with the upper part of the temple smoothly sliding down.

Moreover, the surging divine power within the Temple of Mars further demonstrates what exactly happened during the time she was unconscious.

"sorry."

After a moment of silence, the girl's expression gradually turned dejected.

"It was my fault for not being able to stop him."

"Don't talk nonsense." Diana gave her a sharp tap on the forehead, causing her to cry out in pain.

Then, he continued to perform the healing spells he was holding.

“I saw what you looked like just now. If I had arrived any later, you might have already lost too much blood, and I would have lost one less stupid student.”

"You've gone to such lengths, you don't need to feel guilty, you know?"

The girl lay on her teacher's lap, and for some unspeakable reason, she could see her teacher's face without any obstruction.

"I see--"

"However, teacher, my injuries are almost healed, aren't they? There's no need to waste magic power healing me at such a crucial time."

"Wait a moment." The witch, who always liked to act young, held her down firmly with one hand while continuing to perform healing with the other.

"And lastly, the scars on the face—a girl's face shouldn't be left with scars."

"Speaking of which, Liliana," Diana asked with a somewhat grave expression, as if she had thought of something, "what did your spiritual vision see?"

“A wolf,” Liliana said. “It seems to be the wolf god worshipped by the Huns.”

"That person possesses the power of the Hunnic wolf god... or a divine artifact related to the wolf god worshipped by the Huns. He is heading to the Temple of Mars—"

"I see, the same result as we observed. The Huns, who indirectly destroyed the Roman Empire, had the power of their god brought into the temple of the Roman god of war—" The witch rubbed her temples helplessly, revealing a wry smile.

Therefore, it would not be surprising if the enraged God of War did anything.

"It's a pity that our leader, the Sword King, has disappeared again—" the witch sighed. "Even if the other kings can get here, it will probably be a long time before they arrive."

"For some reason, it seems that Mars, who does not follow the divine, has not fully descended." Liliana's expression was slightly puzzled. "It's more like he used the method of divine possession to manifest a part of his power in the world."

"This, ah, is probably the arrogance in my heart." Diana looked at the dilapidated temple in the distance, quietly sensing the power fluctuations there that made her heart pound.

"Precisely because they are enemies, they want to defeat each other under equal conditions."

"So, could it be..." As she spoke, a look of surprise appeared on the witch's face, "...that a new Child of Fools might be born here?"

"Do not."

Liliana struggled to her feet, clutching her still-painful abdomen with one hand, and looked up at the distant Temple of Mars.

"The Fool—his words are by no means those of a fool's son who only has hindsight."

......

"You wicked wolf, is this all the strength you have now?" Mars asked coldly, holding his sword upside down and gazing at Lu Ye, who was hiding far away.

"This really disappoints me as your arch-rival."

In Lu Ye's hand, a white lightsaber slowly shattered and dissipated, but the next second, an identical white lightsaber reappeared in his hand.

"Is this guy blind?" Lu Ye said through gritted teeth, keeping a close eye on Mars's actions, not daring to relax for a moment.

Although Mars was only manifesting a portion of his consciousness and did not possess much power, his physical attributes and everything else far surpassed Mars's.

Furthermore, Mars's extensive combat experience as a war god far surpassed that of the others.

Therefore, it can be said that he saw absolutely no chance of winning.

He couldn't even see a chance to escape.

Facing such an enemy, exposing one's vulnerable back would be tantamount to suicide.

Moreover... he already guessed the real reason why Mars regarded him as a mortal enemy.

Mars's method of identifying enemies was clearly not a conventional one, but rather something like divine aura.

Unfortunately, the divine beast tooth that Lu Ye had previously absorbed came from the wolf god worshipped by the Huns, Mars' mortal enemy.

He himself was once so obsessed with his faith that he almost became the god of wolves.

Although the side effects of absorbing the power of the divine artifact have been eliminated with the help of the little devil, he still bears the unique mark of the Hunnic wolf god.

In other words, in the eyes of other gods, he was the gray wolf worshipped by the Huns.

At other times, this kind of marking doesn't matter.

But only when facing the Roman god of war—

"I'm telling you, I think I got tricked by you, didn't I?" Lu Ye sighed softly, speaking to the little devil in an almost complaining tone.

"Yes, you've been fooled," the little devil said in a sweet, cloying voice from inside the bottle, a faint smile on his face.

The little devil made no attempt to hide whether he had wronged Lu Ye before.

"You probably don't have a way to deal with this enemy, do you?"

"Open the seal and release me, I'll handle it."

Lu Ye fell silent.

If this continues, I might die.

But what would happen if the sealed bottle were opened?

he does not know.

So he raised his sword once more and managed to defend against Mars's latest attack.

From any perspective, he didn't want to let the little devil out.

Although the hope is very slim.

But is there any chance of victory in this situation?

"Open the bottle cap, break the seal...?"
