177: Chapter 177 The Trio’s Plan 177: Chapter 177 The Trio’s Plan “””
If you only consider the experts in the Underworld, the Demoness is definitely considered a beauty, and not to mention she’s a skilled fighter too.
Although among the four war generals of the Netherworld Palace, the Demoness does not stand out for her might, she can still hold her own.
However, there’s one major flaw about her: she is too emotional, sometimes lacking rational analysis, and often acts purely on whim.
Of course, this makes her difficult to control in a team setting.
I remember one time, an opponent provoked her with taunts, and the Demoness, ignoring the team, chased that person for tens of kilometers just to vanquish them, only then returning satisfied.
Even Ye Shikai was unable to stop her, and she’s always so eager; whenever there’s a team operation, she’s the first to volunteer, which gives Ye Shikai quite the headache.
“No, you stay in the Netherworld Palace.
Black Rhinoceros and Soul Destroyer accompanying me will be enough,” Ye Shikai glared sternly at the Demoness.
But the lady wasn’t having any of it; if it weren’t for Wang Kai being there, she would have surely gone through a whole tantrum of crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang herself until Ye Shikai agreed.
“Ghost, keep a close eye on her for me,” Ye Shikai ordered.
Seeing that the Boss was serious, Ghost didn’t dare to slack off and tried to pull the Demoness away.
“No way, you never take me with you on your missions.
This time, I must come with you,” the Demoness broke free from Ghost, who didn’t dare to forcefully drag her away.
With her temperament, it was entirely possible that she would start a fight right there.
“Old Ye, why don’t you just take her with you?
You’re here after all, she won’t do anything reckless,” Wang Kai persuaded from the side.
“Fine, but don’t cause any trouble,” Ye Shikai said helplessly.
“I wouldn’t dream of causing trouble,” the Demoness beamed with a gratified smile, like a primary schooler who just scored full marks.
In Europe, there are many ancient castles.
These buildings are the crystallization of several centuries past, serving as dwellings for the prestigious of that era.
Some of the larger castles even functioned as defensive fortresses.
Nowadays, a portion of these castles serve as tourist attractions, while others have been purchased by modern-day nobility.
“Hephesto, is the plan you mentioned reliable?” Inside a castle, two men sat on chairs discussing something.
One of them was the Fire God Hephesto who had just come over from Yidong Country, directly seeking this place out.
“Apollo, if I remember correctly, you’ve also been defeated by Hades before, don’t you want revenge?” The person in front of Hephesto was none other than Apollo, one of the twelve Main Gods.
“Of course, I think about it day and night.
But Hades is strong, and he’s even got Ares backing him up, not to mention his ambiguous relationship with the Moon God.
Just the two of us, trying to execute this plan is difficult,” Apollo showed a troubled expression.
Although the twelve Main Gods seem harmonious on the surface, behind the scenes, there is constant strife; each of them knows their opponents very well.
“Those three Huaxians have been thorns in my side for a long time; this is a perfect opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop.” Hephesto’s eyes glinted cruelly as flames ignited in his hand.
“The Underworld always respects strength above all; sheer power is the ultimate rule.
If those three band together, I don’t see much chance for us,” Apollo seemed uninterested in Hephesto’s plan targeting Ye Shikai and his companions, as entering a battle where defeat is almost certain is unwise.
“What if I told you Zeus would be joining this plan?
You’d be more confident then, right?” As soon as Hephesto mentioned Zeus, Apollo’s gaze changed, filled with wariness, “If Zeus is involved, then our plan’s success rate is about sixty percent at best.” Apollo greatly feared Zeus’s power but did not dare to underestimate Ye Shikai either.
Over the years, Apollo’s Sun Temple had always kept a respectful distance from the Netherworld Palace, with both sides not encroaching on each other’s territories.
“Zeus’s God King Palace is far off in North America; are you sure he’d get involved in this affair?” asked Apollo, his eyes full of doubt.
“Haha, rest assured, to be precise, this action was all planned by him.
I’m currently in cooperation with him.” Hephesto laughed, revealing that the scheme all along was Zeus’s doing.
As for Hephesto, this time he was merely acting as a lobbyist to persuade Apollo.
“I see, that’s reassuring.
However, the Netherworld Palace and Moon God Temple are currently in Europe, and the War God Temple is in Africa.
These three places are quite close to each other; if they coordinate, it’ll be hard for us to conquer them one by one.”
“Don’t worry, Zeus already has a strategy in place.” Hephesto handed a battle plan to Apollo.
After reading it several times, Apollo burst into laughter, “Excellent, I’m in on this plan.
Just don’t forget your promise when the time comes.”
“Rest easy,” Hephesto laughed heartily as well, and the two downed the wine on the table in a single gulp.
A plan aimed at Ye Shikai was slowly taking shape…
“Ji Qian, you’re here.
We’ve been waiting for you to set out for Holy Mountain.” Several cars slowly stopped at the entrance of the Netherworld Palace.
A group of women in white alighted from the vehicles, and Ji Qian, wearing a long white gown and holding a Magic Wand, followed, with Selena’s forever-unchanging cold expression close behind her.
“Wang Kai, you’ve brought both Kui Tuo Si and Phobos.
Aren’t you afraid the War God Temple will be attacked?” Ji Qian eyed Kui Tuo Si and Phobos behind Wang Kai and showed a somber look.
I’d like to see who would dare,” scoffed Wang Kai, seemingly unconcerned.
“You’re here,” said Ye Shikai as he approached, looking a bit uneasy.
Ever since that latest encounter with Ji Qian, Ye Shikai had been unsure how to act around her.
“Hmm, are you ready?” inquired Ji Qian indifferently, her tone carrying a hint of concern.
“Of course,” replied Ye Shikai, with Black Rhinoceros, Demoness, and Soul Destroyer behind him, all ready for battle.
“Then let’s set off,” Ji Qian spoke lightly.
