Chapter 190: Without hesitation

?

Looking at the Ke lv nie female deer lying on the grass, the technicians and the 141s stared at each other.

But as professionals, they didn't hesitate much, and proceeded to bind and control the Ke lv nie female deer, then prepared to move it out of the Underground Garden.

At this moment.

On a stone-paved road in the center of the garden, Sui Bian shifted his peripheral vision away from the Ke lv nie female deer, without slowing his pace, and continued walking toward the small hill where Artemis lay.

But NuoWa and the Ghosts who had been following him behind fell into a strange silence.

Because NuoWa and the others knew that Sui Bian had merely glanced at it, he directly caused the Ke lv nie female deer to lose consciousness completely.

On the contrary, Leon and the Dark Angels had long been accustomed to it; the red and white queens were not human, so they fundamentally could not sense Spiritual Energy fluctuations, and thus paid no attention to what had just happened.

All the way, they remained silent.

Sui Bian led everyone to the top of the small hill.

"Sir." Pulaise, who had been guarding here, immediately stepped forward and said: "According to the technicians' preliminary examination, this female entity with abdominal injuries is not human."

Moreover, that blood-colored double-edged spear and the golden bow on the grass could not be pulled out or moved by the technicians through conventional means.

"Good." Sui Bian gave a soft acknowledgment and continued forward.

Finally, he arrived beside Artemis.

!!

The fairy spirits fluttering around Artemis were instantly attracted by the strikingly conspicuous Leon and the four Dark Angels, and they couldn't help but cover their mouths with their hands to show their astonishment.

And they said;

"Θεμου，Εναιτσοσπουδαοι（My goodness, they are so magnificent！）"

"ΦανεταιτιεναιοιθρυλικοθεοτουΟλμπου（They seem to be the true gods of Olympus！）"

But shortly after, the fairy spirits noticed the man standing beside their master, and he seemed even stronger than the five giants.

After all, they are monsters, and their perception is far superior to that of humans.

When they noticed Sui Bian, they no longer dared to chatter freely as before; even their instincts told them to stay as far away from here as possible.

Just as the thought of fleeing arose, their eyes went dark, they lost consciousness, and fell from the air onto the grass.

"Keep these little things under control." Sui Bian, lowering his head to observe Artemis, said to the technician beside him.

"Yes, sir."

Having received the order, several technicians immediately stepped forward, transferred the fairy spirits into a small anomalous creature containment box, and then quickly left the small hill.

As for the reason the fairy spirits fainted, no one spoke, but everyone understood it tacitly.

In response, Pulaise, the 141s, and the remaining technicians also grew accustomed to this.

As the party involved, Sui Bian paid no attention to others' emotional fluctuations.

Upon close observation of Artemis, he had to admit that she indeed possessed the appearance called a 'goddess'.

However, he quickly focused his attention on the hunting bow.

Pulaise had just said the technicians couldn't move it, but he bent down, reached out, and easily picked up the hunting bow.

"Leon." He asked Leon, who was standing guard beside him: "What do you think, you and your brothers, who is suitable to use this weapon?"

Upon hearing the question, Leon stared at the hunting bow in Sui Bian's hand, shook his head after a few seconds, and said: "It's not suitable for me, Father."

After a pause, Leon added: "I think it suits Shengjilesi."

"Is that so? Then we'll ask him when we get back."

Sui Bian said, then turned his gaze toward the Cassius Gun and asked the system in his mind:

"System, if I plunder all of Artemis's Spiritual Energy, will it completely vanish like the Blood Demon Griffin did at first?"

【Detected that Artemis's physical body is currently in a weak state, consuming 1000 points allows plundering.

Artemis's physical body is merely weak, whereas the Blood Demon Griffin's physical body was completely destroyed, and the host carried out a 'Spiritual Energy Plunder' on it; furthermore, Artemis does not belong to extra-dimensional beings.

Upon hearing this, Sui Bian seemed not to have received a definite answer.

But he still held the bow with his left hand, extended his right hand forward, gripped the gun handle, and without hesitation drew the Cassius Gun.

And he said to the system: 'Plunder.'

【Deducted 1000 points for plundering, the host's remaining points are 2360.

【Plundering…

【Plundering completed, the host has obtained all of Artemis's Spiritual Energy.

When the system's voice fell, Sui Bian once again felt an indescribable power surge through his entire body.

"Cough…! Cough!"

But Artemis, whose demeanor had originally been calm, had her delicate features twisted somewhat by intense pain, and her newly freed hands clenched the ground.

?!

Seeing this, Leon, who was on guard duty, immediately drew the Lion King.

"Buzz—!" With that sound, a layer of faint red energy appeared on the blade of the Lion King.

At the same time, the four Dark Angels lowered their explosive bolt guns and aimed them at Artemis.

But this state of Artemis lasted only a few seconds, and her countenance gradually relaxed, returning to tranquility.

"Father?" Leon was somewhat confused.

"No problem." Sui Bian, who had remained calm throughout, replied: "Put away your Lion King for now."

"Yes." Leon deactivated the energy stance, reattached the Lion King to his back, but still did not relax his vigilance.

The four Dark Angels who had lowered their gun muzzles also did not move their fingers away from the triggers.

Pulaise, the 141s, NuoWa, and the Ghosts farther away likewise kept watch, gripping their firearms and shielding the technicians behind them.

At this moment Artemis appeared very tranquil, its chest not rising, indicating it was not breathing at all, as if it were dead.

However, it never breathed from the start, after all it is not human.

Sui Bian, standing beside it, did not hear the point‑reward notification, indicating that the hunting goddess before him was still alive.

Of course, even if Sui Bian knew that drawing the Casius gun and performing Plunder Spiritual Energy would cause Artemis to die instantly, he would still execute it without hesitation.

One must realize that it is a "god," one of the principal deities possessing great Spiritual Energy, and its mind and body are not human.

Immediately, he turned to the technician standing behind Pulaise and the others and said, "Transfer this humanoid entity, along with those little beings (fairy spirits) and that stag, to the Gobekli Research Center."

He finished speaking.

Sui Bian granted permission in his mind, then handed the Casius gun and hunting bow to Leon, and turned away from the Dwarf Hill Path, saying, "Let's go."

Leon and Sui Bian, having taken the two weapons, along with the rest of the group, left together.

Pulaise continued to assist the technician, carrying out the transfer procedure on Artemis.

They left the Dwarf Hill.

"White Queen," Sui Bian said to the White Queen, who had been trailing behind him and seemed barely noticeable, "Notify Alekxia; later I need her to perform a physical examination on a living Greek god."

"Understood," the White Queen promised.
