I'm tied to Athena.

Because of this, there were no surprises during the retreat, except for a bit of panic. When leaving, except for the occasional monsters and elderly people with disabilities, the journey was relatively peaceful.

Of course...Li Yun, who was on the front line resisting the attacks of Warcraft, was not included.

He was standing in front of the city wall at the moment, fighting with his back against it, and he was surrounded by Tiamat... No, it should be said that it was the composite monster of Gorgon.

The monsters with sharp claws that seemed to be able to tear everything into pieces surrounded him tightly. But for some reason, the monsters did not attack immediately... In fact, Li Yun discovered this problem halfway through the fight.

These monsters did not actively attack him. Every time, they would fight back after he became mad with killing. Rather than saying that Li Yun was their enemy, it would be more accurate to say that Li Yun's massacre caused them to lose their minds.

Hmm....Although this analogy is strange, it is indeed the case.

The monsters stared at him with murderous and irrational eyes as if they were staring at prey, but they just looked at him and had no intention of attacking.

"They are restraining their actions, as if they were ordered by someone." Metis' voice rang out in the depths of her soul, and the first goddess of wisdom immediately noticed the strangeness of the monsters, "Do you want to retreat? Athena is protecting the people and is not with you. If you are surrounded, it will be troublesome."

"Then let's retreat. I just happen to have a bad feeling..." Li Yun nodded and prepared to retreat, but the next moment, the ground shook.

Chapter 208: Fuck (Greek swear word)

"What's going on!?" The earth shook, and a fierce breath came from afar. Then, the ground cracked, and a huge monster appeared in front of Li Yun!

It was a magical beast with a lion-like appearance, about fifty meters tall, with two fangs like the strongest weapons, enough to tear apart everything in the world. The hair on its body was as dazzling as the sun, and the fierce aura emanating from its bones made Li Yun's breathing stagnate!

"Uridium!? Liyun, go! You are no match for it!!!"

Seeing this monster, Metis immediately became anxious.

In Gorgon's memory, she found the memory of the twelve sons. Except for Kingu who was created by Tiamat, the other eleven sons were created by Gorgon himself. Because of this, the other eleven sons were basically just for show.

For example, Bashoum was beaten into a pulp by the three goddesses, and Uridium was killed in one move by Anna's red card critical hit after she stacked Merlin's buff.

But the Uridium that Anna killed in seconds was a counterfeit created by the Gorgon himself, and was far inferior to the goddess.

But that Ulidim is completely different from the Ulidim in front of me... The Ulidim in front of me is the real Ulidim!!!

The one called the Sun Beast, who could release the light of the sun and whose combat power surpassed that of Uridiom, one of the legendary twelve sons of the gods, actually appeared in front of Li Yun in his complete form!

If we use a metaphor, the Uridim in front of us is a direct servant of the god Tiamat, with a fighting power that exceeds that of the Demon Pillar and is even stronger than the Leopard Man... In other words, this is the monster that will appear in the final battle against the god Tiamat in Chapter 7!!

"If we work together, can we solve it?" Li Yun held the sickle with a hint of determination in his eyes. According to the people's speed, they should not have reached the next city yet. And even if they did, if this guy didn't find a way to solve it, no matter how strong the city was, it would not be able to stop him!

So he had only one way to go - kill Ulidim!

"If you and I work together, it won't be difficult to suppress it, but your body can't withstand such a strong force. Even with my protection, you will still be seriously injured. Activity time... five minutes."

"Five minutes? That's enough!"

Not surprised by the time, Li Yun tightened his sickle and said, "Come on!"

Metis no longer hesitated and released all his divine power to protect Li Yun's body. Then, Li Yun mobilized all the power in the Gorgon Stone.

The black hair was mixed with a trace of silver hair belonging to Metis, and the surging divine power turned into starlight floating around. The divine power released at this moment made the monsters surrounding him feel the natural suppression, and then they retreated tremblingly.

"Roar!!" Ulidim seemed to sense the danger and roared.

The sound waves turned into wind waves that swept across, but were cut off by Li Yun's knife.

He suddenly appeared in front of Uridimu and chopped down with the sickle in his hand. The indestructible blade tore through Uridimu's hard flesh, leaving terrible scars on it.

Uridim raised his claws and wanted to counterattack, but his movements were not as fast as Liyun's, and every attack was easily avoided by Liyun.

Perhaps realizing that a simple attack was useless, Ulidim quickly organized a counterattack.

Raging flames burst out of its body, instantly distorting the space around it. At the same time, a fireball of unimaginable size condensed in its mouth.

"Is this guy planning to destroy the city behind me?" The magic power emitted by the fireball made Li Yun feel ashamed. He conservatively estimated that it would not be a problem for this attack to destroy a city.

'.....Liyun, there is something I want to tell you, please don't be afraid.'

Metis' voice sounded suddenly.

"What's wrong?" While watching Uridim's actions, he also devoted some of his energy to talking to Metis.

'Look behind you.'

Hearing what Metis said, Li Yun subconsciously felt something was wrong, and then looked back - ten magical beasts as huge as Uridim appeared behind him!

There are the winged serpent Bashum, the three-headed lion dragon Ushugigaru, the seven-headed serpent Shumafu, the lion-headed demon Ugarlu, the scorpion man Kitabulu, the mermaid Kulu, the storm Umdabulutu, the human-bull Kusaliku, the angry snake Shusu, the monster Rahhu, and finally the one who rules them all... Kingu!

Li Yun laughed, this time he really laughed. He had a lot of Greek swear words in his mind but couldn't say them...

"Are you...sick?" Sorry, Li Yun said it because he really couldn't bear it anymore.

"Oh? Because I'm quite free now, so I have enough time to listen to you finish your words." Jin Gu, who was standing high in the sky, landed in front of Li Yun. He smiled after feeling the surging divinity in the other's body. "You have completely controlled the divine power in such a short time. You are better than I thought."

"No... Before that, I'd better ask you what you're doing here." Li Yun swallowed his curse words. It wouldn't be too late to curse him when the other party was sure that he was here to attack him. And the longer he delayed, the better. Athena should be rushing here.

"Are you thinking Athena will come to save you?" Jin Gu taunted in a low voice, "It doesn't matter. I can give you this chance. Even if we have to wait until Athena comes, what does it matter? My eleven brothers are here. Even if Athena comes, she can't escape."

As Jin Gu waved his hand, the ten magical beasts behind him immediately separated and completely surrounded Li Yun. They each condensed a terrifying magic bomb. As long as Jin Gu waved his hand, they would immediately blast Li Yun into debris!

"What do you want to do?"

"I thought you were going to ask what happened."

“I am more concerned about what will happen to me afterwards?”

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. As for my other brothers, as long as you don't move around, they won't do anything to you." Jin Gu's smile became dangerous, "But... it's like this now, but maybe it won't be like this in the future."

"I really want to thank you. If it weren't for your actions, Mother wouldn't have turned a disaster into a blessing and gained such strong power. Not only could she give birth to so many powerful monsters, but even my brothers were born together."

"Liyun, do you think there is still hope?" Jin Gu opened his arms. "Facing this endless army of monsters and my brothers, do humans still have hope of victory?"

Looking down from the sky, in the northern part of the Mesopotamian Plain, one magical beast after another was born from the earth, like a black torrent, heading towards the north wall with great momentum.

Chapter 209: Jingu: Let’s Play a Game

The original army of Warcraft in the seventh singularity was counted in tens of thousands, but now it is counted in hundreds of thousands. Even if these eleven Warcraft that are more terrifying than gods are eliminated, this army of Warcraft is still not something that humans can contend with.

The gap is too big - not just in quantity, but also in quality!

Li Yun came here fully prepared, as long as he waited for the Bull of Heaven to appear, he would not be afraid even if Tiamat was resurrected. But now... because of their actions, the Gorgons gained more power from Tiamat and were getting closer and closer to that terrifying existence. If they continued like this, they might really be in trouble.

"You came here just to tell me this?"

"of course not."

Jin Gu glanced at the sky not far away, as if he noticed that Athena was coming. However, his expression did not change. He was really fearless now. He just glanced and then turned his attention back to Li Yun.

"Li Yun, you said you wanted to stand on the side of humans, right?"

"Although I didn't mean to stand on the side of humans, I did stand on the side of humans in terms of actions."

"Then let's play a game." Jin Gu drew a line between the two of them, "With the North Wall as the center line, the outcome will be whether humans hold on to the North Wall and successfully open up a new era, or whether the monsters defeat the North Wall and replace humans as the new ruler of this world. You are the former, and I am the latter."

"You and I can both become pawns and participate in this."

"And since it's a game, there will naturally be stakes."

"Let me think about it. Although it's impossible, if you win, I will return the Holy Grail to you. But if I win, you have to go with us - into the Primordial Sea!"

"!?" Jingu's words made Li Yun's eyes widen, and at the same time he understood that this guy's goal was to let him enter the Primordial Sea and become Tiamat's child!

As the ocean from which everything was born in the concept of magic, any creature that is not a child of Tiamat who enters it will be forcibly transformed into a child of Tiamat.

To put it simply, they are brainwashing you while preserving your own consciousness, making you willingly become a child of Tiamat.

Just like Ushiwakamaru.

"Why don't you just capture me? You are capable of doing that with your current strength."

"Just as you trampled on her revenge, I also want to trample on everything you have. You want to protect humans, so I will destroy them... When the monster army attacks the north wall, your expression will be wonderful."

"I think you would fight me desperately at that time. And if I throw you into the Primordial Sea after your emotional breakdown, and wait for you to come out, you will express disdain and ridicule for your own actions." Jin Gu's expression became more and more happy. "You were crying for humans the moment before, and the next moment you turned into a member of the Warcraft army and started to fight against humans."

“It couldn’t be a better script, could it?”

"You are such a bastard, Jin Gu." Li Yun slowly calmed down his inner tension. He said this expressionlessly, and then...

"If you want to gamble, I'll gamble with you!"

"What a wise decision!" Jin Gu seemed to have guessed that Li Yun would make this choice, so he raised his hand and let the other eleven disciples disperse their magic power and fly into the sky. "Then the next time we meet, it will be the time for you to lose! Li Yun!"

Jin Gu and Shiyizi left, and the monsters surrounding him also retreated. The territory that was originally squeezed by the monsters suddenly became empty, and then Athena appeared.

"Li Yun!" She landed beside Li Yun anxiously, with worry in her eyes. After sensing the terrifying magic power here, she left the people behind and rushed over, fearing that she would have to go to the underworld to find him later.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." He smiled and shook his head, then he told the story about the bet that Jin Gu had just made with him.

"The number of monsters has increased greatly, and their strength has become so much stronger. The north wall that was originally able to withstand the attacks of monsters has become extremely unsafe. There is a 90% chance that you will lose this bet." Athena looked at him with some blame, wondering why he agreed to such a bet.

"If I don't agree, they might just arrest me on the spot. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head." Li Yun said that he had no way to deal with the goddess's complaint. The other party was so strong. Could it be that he was really not afraid of death and was willing to shake his head and say no?

"Besides, even if I agree, it doesn't mean I have to abide by the agreement." Moreover, Li Yun smiled cunningly, "Jin Gu is not an enemy worthy of my respect, so I don't have to abide by the agreement with him."

"Besides, we don't necessarily lose. Once the Bull of Heaven is manufactured, with its strength, it can serve as the strongest shield."

"What a cunning man," Metis praised.

"Also, I still have the last trump card that I haven't played yet." Li Yun had to thank Jin Gu for showing up with the eleven sons. If it weren't for Jin Gu, he might have missed someone... No, it should be said that he missed an unparalleled assassin!

Abandoning the concept of giving Tima death with the crown, and then single-handedly blocking the previous eleven sons, there is an unparalleled existence - Hassan, the old man king of the mountains!

"The old man in the mountain...this is indeed a fighting force. I have never heard of anyone capable of competing with so many gods." Athena was also very interested in Wang Hassan. After all, it was a man who stopped the eleven sons, and no one knew what he could do if he got serious.

If Wang Hassan could be pulled into his side ahead of time, he could use his unparalleled assassination skills to kill the other side's eleven men.

Without these siege weapons, the safety of the north wall was greatly improved.

But...I don’t know why, Li Yun suddenly felt that he was missing something, and then he had something more.

It's a feeling that's hard to describe.

"Do you know where he is?"

".....I'm not sure, but I should be able to find him in the underworld." Putting aside the complicated emotions, Li Yun touched his chin and said.

He vaguely remembered that King Hassan only appeared four times. The first time was to warn Gudako about the problem of her choice, the second time was to rescue Gudako after she fell into the underworld, the third time was to cut Elly's Goddess Covenant in half in the underworld, and the fourth time was the decisive battle.

From this point of view, King Hassan should be in the underworld.

"So shall we go find Wang Hassan now?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Protect these people and retreat first." Li Yun shook his head. "We originally came here to hunt monsters, but now... in order to resist so many monster armies, everyone in Mesopotamia must mobilize their strength. One more person means one more force."

"Even though I can deny my debt if I lose, why not win if I can win."

"He wants to see my frustrated expression, and I also want to see him unable to do anything to me."

Although you can't see it, this guy actually holds a grudge.

Chapter 210 Grandpa: I Don’t See Guests

Since the next itinerary was decided, Li Yun and the others didn't waste any time and set off immediately.

However, before setting off, Athena converted all of Li Yun's experience points from the past ten days into numbers, and the LV3 level was fully stacked and successfully reached LV4.

Although LV4 is still cannon fodder in this Age of Gods, the improvement in physical fitness has allowed Li Yun and Metis to combine for a much longer time.

Next, they spent a month protecting a large number of people outside the north wall from the monsters. However, even with him and Athena, they were unable to handle the situation alone, and people on the fourth and fifth floors were still captured by monsters.

Li Yun found the matter of being captured a little strange. Why did the monsters just leave after capturing the people instead of killing them on the spot?

To the Gorgon, humans are nothing more than materials for creating monsters. It doesn't matter whether they are dead or alive. Killing them on the spot is the best solution. But what's the point of doing this...?

Li Yun couldn't figure out why this happened so he didn't think about it any further. After all, they had already reached the north wall.

"Long time no see, Lord Liyun!" Leonidas looked at the two people who returned to the north wall, "It's been almost two months."

"Ah, two months." Li Yun and Leonidas briefly greeted each other, then pointed to the group of people behind him, "These are the people outside the north wall. I have brought them here. I'll leave the rest to you."

While escorting the civilians, Li Yun also encountered soldiers from Uruk who came to gather intelligence. After he passed the information back, Gilgamesh immediately chose to send troops to support.

However, because most of the servants were out carving magic circles, he only sent Ushiwakamaru and Tomoe to escort the rest of the people and share the pressure on Liyun and Athena.

"Thank you very much!" Leonidas looked at the people and said with some emotion: "I didn't expect that the North would be completely conquered in just one month."

"The strength and number of the monsters have greatly increased. The pressure on the north wall will be much greater. I have other things to do and cannot stay on the north wall, so I can only ask you to take care of it." Li Yun patted Leonidas on the shoulder, "The strongest guardian."

"By the way, is there any news from Ishtar?"

"According to the news received, the goddess and her companions have completed their magic preparations in the north and are now heading south."
