Chapter 536: Goodbye
Chapter 536: Goodbye
Just when everyone thought Yang Chen was really going to leave with the four from the church, he suddenly crushed Cruyff's head completely!
Gabriel watched in shock as the bishop beside him, who had been smiling, lost his head. His tiger-like eyes widened, and he staggered back two steps, finally realizing that what he saw was real!
"How dare you..." Gabriel trembled, unable to finish his sentence.
Yang Chen gave an evil smile, shaking off the blood and filth from his hand. He leisurely said, "Why wouldn't I dare? I was planning to kill this old man earlier, thinking it was a big deal. But he said I'd regret it, which scared me into not killing him immediately.
Turns out it was just some trivial matter. If he had made it clear earlier, I wouldn't have hesitated to kill him. Did you think you could stop me from killing you?"
Many present showed expressions of joy, not expecting Yang Chen to abandon them or intend to help Apollo by killing them!
On the monitor, Apollo was visibly stunned for a moment before angrily saying, "Hades! Do you not understand what you're doing?! Do you know that your woman is in my hands and I can kill her in an instant if I want to!"
"I know. Tsk, tsk, you sure have a good aim. I have many women, and you just happened to grab my legitimate wife," Yang Chen sighed, shaking his head with some emotion.
Apollo's eyes showed suspicion. "You seem to think I wouldn't dare do it, Hades. Do you think I, as a Lord God, would be afraid of you and not dare kill Persephone?"
Yang Chen's face suddenly turned cold, and he sneered, "A Lord God? Fool, do you really think I believe you're Apollo?"
At these words, not only did Apollo on the monitor freeze, but everyone present also shivered, looking at Yang Chen in shock and doubt.
Could it be that this Apollo is a fake?
"Hades, stop bluffing. It's all futile. If you doubt my identity, I can shoot a few more arrows and burn all the ants on the island to death. But that's unnecessary extra work," Apollo said. "If you don't agree to my conditions, your woman will die in the next moment! And you will die with the people on this island in the nuclear explosion!"
"Oh? If you really think a nuclear bomb can kill me, why bother kidnapping my woman?" Yang Chen smiled and asked in return.
Apollo narrowed his eyes and said, "You're challenging my limits of patience."
Yang Chen, completely unconcerned, continued, "You know, this whole act of yours is meaningless to me. Because from the beginning, I knew you were fake.
Although you have a pretty decent weapon and considerable strength, you have no idea what a Lord God is.
If you were a Lord God, you wouldn't talk about ruling the world. For a Lord God, such things are meaningless and wouldn't require so many means and so many people to help you achieve this goal.
I guess the real purpose of this meeting is to create panic and chaos among nations by killing their representatives, leading to world disorder.
You previously said you wanted to kill the current rotating President of the European Union, the French President. Starting from the top, you aim to cause political turmoil everywhere, eventually triggering a world war.
From the chaos of war, you would gain what you want—your so-called world domination, which is most likely to be realized."
"Hmph, talk all you want. I just have one question now: kill the people on the island, or die with them!" Apollo asked loudly.
Yang Chen raised an eyebrow and flashed again, this time appearing in front of Gabriel.
Gabriel, realizing what was happening, raised his giant sword in an attempt to resist.
But Yang Chen's hand, like an unstoppable spear, didn't evade. He directly grabbed the giant sword!
"Clang!"
The thick, steel-forged giant sword shattered like fragile paper under the overwhelming true energy!
Yang Chen's hand didn't stop and directly struck Gabriel's chest!
"Bang!"
It was like a bomb exploding inside Gabriel's body. In his furious and shocked gaze, his body was torn apart!
Everyone watched in horror as Yang Chen withdrew his hand, standing amidst the shattered remains of Gabriel's body.
Many of those present felt their scalps tingle. Though most were accustomed to killing, they had never seen methods as brutal as crushing heads or shattering bodies.
"Why does he always use such cruel methods to kill?" Master Yunmiao felt a bit nauseous and frowned.
Soren, standing beside her, gave a wry smile. "Lord Hades' power is overwhelming. It's not intentional cruelty; the horrifying scenes are just the result of his casual use of force."
Yang Chen didn't stop. After dealing with Gabriel, he casually snapped the necks of the two remaining church members. Within a minute, the four valuable holy bodies of the church were completely dealt with, having offered no resistance.
On the other side of the monitor, Apollo was furious but couldn't stop Yang Chen.
By now, most of the people present believed Yang Chen's claim. They realized that this had indeed been a trap set by the Divine Domain and the church from the start. If they all died here, it would be at the hands of the Divine Domain. If the French president, who was the current rotating chairman of the European Union, were also killed, the high-ranking officials of the EU and other countries worldwide would be thrown into panic.
Once the situation became chaotic, various triggers could lead to regional and even global wars, with unimaginable consequences!
"Well, Hades, it seems there's no need for further discussion," Apollo sneered. "Since you don't know what's good for you, I'll start by dealing with your woman and then let you all taste the horror of a nuclear explosion."
With that, Apollo turned and walked towards Lin Ruoxi, who was lying on the deck.
"Yang Chen! Stop him! Are you really going to let him touch Ruoxi?!" Master Yunmiao, who knew Lin Ruoxi, was the first to shout, unable to believe Yang Chen was allowing someone to kill his wife.
Yang Chen showed a delighted expression. "Oh, Master Yunmiao, so you care about Ruoxi? I thought you hated her because of Lin Zhiguo."
"How can you joke at a time like this! No matter how much I dislike her, she's still a descendant of the Lin family!" Master Yunmiao was furious, her face turning red.
Yang Chen sighed inwardly. A descendant of the Lin family? Her background was much deeper than that, but of course, Yang Chen couldn't reveal this.
"Everyone, stop watching and go back to the cruise ship or find a way to run far away. The nuclear bomb might explode any moment now," Yang Chen said, glancing around at the others.
The people present had assumed that Yang Chen had a way to prevent the nuclear explosion. Now, hearing this, they realized he might just be waiting for the bomb to go off!
"Are you joking?!"
"Lord Hades, you knew there would be a nuclear explosion and still killed the church members?!"
Amid the bewildered and panicked gazes, Yang Chen shrugged. "The remote is in that guy's hand. What can I do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the group led by the female shaman from the Jaguars began quickly retreating from the island, with other weaker organizations following suit immediately.
"Madman, you really are a madman," even the cool-headed Prince couldn't help but feel fear.
The people from Takamagahara and Excalibur, though unwilling, knew they had to run as far as they could. They didn't linger any longer.
Though the nuclear explosion's range would likely be extensive, they could only hope that their escape would be far enough to avoid it or at least not result in death.
These were all elite warriors, each with special means to leave quickly. In no time, the area that had held dozens of people was almost empty, leaving only Yang Chen, Master Yunmiao, Soren, and a few others. Fo De Sa stood straight in front of the monitor, his subordinates having fled long ago.
At this moment, Apollo on the monitor had reached Lin Ruoxi, who lay unconscious on the slightly elevated, cold deck. Near her lay the Stern siblings, and further away were Harry and his mother.
Several black-clad men near Apollo immediately moved aside to show respect as he approached.
Apollo turned back, sneering at Yang Chen and the others. "Hades, this is the result of your own stupidity. Such a beautiful woman—let me turn her into ashes. Then it will be Deputy Director Fo De Sa's wife and child, haha..."
As he spoke, Apollo raised the intricately carved golden longbow again, aiming it at Lin Ruoxi, who lay about a dozen meters away. Seeing Apollo preparing to use that bow, Master Yunmiao and the others turned pale. That bow had shot from the sea, penetrating two Blue Storm agents and reducing them to dust. If Lin Ruoxi and the others were hit, there would be nothing left of them, not even ashes!
As expected, the nearby black-clad men hurriedly backed away, unwilling to stay too close to the terrifying weapon.
The fiery arrow once again formed on the string of the golden bow, its searing light heating the hearts of everyone on the island.
Everyone but Yang Chen stood there calmly, while Yunmiao and Soren were anxious and worried.
"Goodbye, Persephone. Blame your stubborn husband," Apollo said in a low voice before releasing the fiery arrow.
The blazing light shot out instantly!
