The Greece Antagonist

Chapter 479: Chapter 23_3

But at this point, he had no choice but to be carried forward by the heroes toward the rift.@@novelbin@@

As the team’s commander and the first target to emerge, Hippomenes naturally attracted the attention of a large number of Magic Beasts, making him the priority target for their attacks.

One by one, the Divine Blood Heroes instinctively gathered around Commander Hippomenes, trying to protect the team’s leader, which further disorganized their formation.

This time, more than a dozen Typhon’s Offspring subspecies, which had been waiting for an opportunity from a higher position, could no longer contain themselves and rushed towards the human camp, knocking over weakened heroes, dragging them out, and tearing them apart!

“Roar!”

The King of Chimeras, covered in white fur, was the first to roar as he leapt into the loose human formation. Its snake head spat venom, its goat head fired Cursed Bullets, and its lion head emitted fierce flames. The three heads wreaked havoc at once, causing extensive casualties among the Divine Blood Heroes.

Commander Hippomenes, who was protected in the center, was thus exposed in front of that white Chimera.

Seeing this, several Divine Blood Heroes hurriedly stepped forward, raising their shields to try to fend off the onslaught of the white Chimera.

However, after consecutive battles, their bodies were nearly depleted of potential, and they had drunk all their Magic Potions.

Now, even though they wished to fight desperately, they could hardly muster much strength from within their bodies.

Thus, at the first encounter, they were knocked away by the white Chimera’s swinging claws.

Seeing that Commander Hippomenes was about to perish under the beast’s maw, the only one strong enough to withstand a high-rank Magic Beast’s frontal assault, Polymnus, gritted his teeth and charged out of the formation, squeezing every last bit of Divine Power from his body, raising his muscular arms to face that rushing white behemoth.

“Boom!”

Accompanied by a thunderous explosion, Polymnus’s feet plowed two long trenches in the ground up to where Hippomenes was standing, spitting out a trickle of golden-red blood from the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, the charging white Chimera was forcefully pinned to the ground, its four limbs flailing wildly.

Clearly, in this wrestling match, Saint Polymnus was the more skilled.

He blocked it!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate to have such a powerful teammate.

“Whiz!”

However, before everyone could catch their breath, a dark red meteor streaked across the sky, shooting towards Commander Hippomenes’s face at an incredible speed.

The attack was sudden, and the surrounding heroes, wanting to stop it, were too distant, only able to watch helplessly as the tragedy unfolded.

But at the critical moment, a hand as pure as jade lifted up, firmly catching that cold arrow coming from the side.

Everyone looked at the owner of the hand, their faces showing disbelief.

The commander is that strong? Then just now…

As eyes turned towards him, Hippomenes’s face briefly stiffened, then his eyes flashed, and he immediately snapped the arrow in his hand, angrily speaking out.

“There’s a traitor, they’re in…”

“Swoosh!”

Before he could finish, a sharp whooshing sound exploded again.

Hippomenes instinctively adopted a defensive stance, prepared to face the onslaught.

However, that dark red streak in the sky did not fall towards Hippomenes but instead plunged into the now-empty crevice in the mountain, piercing towards the pulsating heart enveloped in bloodlight.

“Buzz!”

Accompanied by a sharp, piercing tremor in the air, a fierce wind swept over the wasteland, plunging into the mountain crevice at an incredible speed, a hand firmly grasping the Bronze Spear wrapped in bloodlight.

This scene, so familiar.

The heroes, watching Hippomenes floating in front of the Beast Nest’s blood-red heart, once again successfully intercepting the attack, changed their expressions.

If catching that sharp arrow was merely concealing his skill and self-preservation,

then blocking this Spear left no room for doubt.

Realizing he had been fully exposed, Hippomenes dropped the Bronze Spear in his hand, somewhat listlessly shaking his head.

“Tsk, I thought we could happily spend this last time together, what a disappointment,”

Polymnus struggled to fling the white Chimera in front of him away, angrily glaring at this Commander who had suddenly turned against them.

If it hadn’t been for the sudden arrows and spears, he had almost fallen victim to this fellow’s plot.

After all, he was the only one at the scene who could have turned the tide of the battle.

Thinking this, the saint of the Dionysian Sect was terrified and grew even more furious in his heart.

“Traitor! We trusted you so much, yet you conspire with the Magic Beasts!”

“No, no, I only met your needs, giving you a fair chance to solve the Beast Disaster, but you failed to live up to the expectations, who can you blame?”

Hippomenes sneered and shook his head, looking innocent.

“Of course, you might be more useful dead than alive. Your bodies can feed these Magic Beasts, slowing down the Beast Disaster’s advance, and Divine Blood can be refined into medicine, benefiting more people. For instance, His Majesty of Arcadia?”

The Divine Blood Heroes, mocked collectively, turned red-faced with anger upon hearing the mastermind behind the scenes.

“That old bastard from Arcadia dares to plot against us!”

“And you, you mongrel! Go to hell!”

Amidst the waves of angry denunciations, arrows, spears, and Cursed Bullets flew toward Hippomenes floating above the rift.

Although they were still in a deadlock with the horde of Magic Beasts, the traitor in hiding was far more detestable than the overt enemy.

However, facing the attacks from his former teammates, Hippomenes let out a disdainful sneer and slightly raised his hand.

Instantly, a crimson eerie glow surged from the abyss, engulfing and annihilating all the incoming arrows, spears, and Cursed Bullets.

“Guess why I brought you to this place?”

Hippomenes looked down at his former teammates with a playful expression, posing a profound question.

And before anyone could answer, the questioner raised his hands high, chanting to reveal the answer.

“When the constellation aligns correctly, the Circle of Reason appears here, from the minutest origin to infinite expansion. A celestial body becomes a void; a void becomes an abyss. Within the abyss dwells the divine!”

At the same time, the concentrated starlight from the sky shot down onto the ground beneath Hippomenes.

“Boom!”

In a moment, the mountains vibrated, the earth split open, creating a pit that seemed to lead straight to the Abyss, and a ghastly structure made of flesh, broken stones, and bones surged out of the rift, rising from the ground, with that previously crimson heart placed high on the dark altar.

This was a Temple of the Old Gods!

The people at the scene looked at what was before them, their eyes filled with astonishment and terror.

Hippomenes then raised his arms, issuing a lofty proclamation.

“Ladies and gentlemen, with your flesh as the sacrifice, welcome the true New Gods here!”

“Boom!”

The ground fragmented, mixed with the advancing roar of waves from beneath, a thousand-meter-long terrifying dragon beast fully composed of bones, Aether, and black mud, roared as it flew out from the Abyss.

As the dragon’s wings, covered in black mud, flapped, a terrifying Aether Storm formed, sweeping into a hurricane around them, and a black flood lifted into the air surged toward them.

But before it could get close, merely the Aether Storm raised by the wings peeled off layers of the earth, extending the Abyssal rifts continuously.

The corrupt flow from the darkness gushed upward, flowing across the ground, and the eroded earth layer, crumbling like tofu dregs, fell into the Abyss.

As the ground was further eroded and broken down, the details of the Aether dragon beast’s skeleton, membrane, and even its flesh scales became more distinct.

Clearly, the horror hidden underground was revealing its majestic form through the ever-expanding rifts.

The Temple of the Ancestral God, Typhon at the lead!

The onlookers, witnessing the terrifying sight before them, felt utterly despondent.
