Chapter 196: Never Question Our Loyalty

Afu Luo Di Te.

She is a half‑sister of Artemis, a daughter of Zeus, and also the wife of Hephestus.

Moreover, its relationship with Hephestus, like Artemis's, is that of half‑siblings.

Father Zeus once pursued her, but she chose to refuse, so the angry and ashamed Zeus forced a marriage to her ugly, lame elder brother, and Hephestus was compelled to become her husband.

Because she governs "beauty," she looks down on Hephestus, and because of "sex," she has illicit relations with many male Olympian gods.

At this moment, Artemis can still sense a demonic aura emanating from Afu Luo Di Te's body that makes her feel sick.

Thus, unable to contain her anger, she loudly demanded, "Afu Luo Di Te! Do you know what you are actually doing?! You are unworthy of being a god! If Father found out you have fallen so, he would surely destroy you himself!"

"Father?" Upon hearing that, Afu Luo Di Te burst into laughter: "That old thing should have been destroyed by my master long ago; you, a being who has lost divine power, have no right to criticize me!"

But…

Afu Luo Di Te shifted her tone, her gaze sweeping over the OriginalBodies and Astates standing beside Artemis, her face radiating allure, deliberately swaying her body to display a seductive posture, and said with a coy smile:

"I actually thank you, sister; it's been a long time, yet you have brought me so many towering, mighty male gods at once—ah~ it's wonderful, they look far better than the worthless Hephestus."

"Come, come to me, let my love and tenderness warm your bodies, and enjoy ultimate pleasure~."

At this point, Afu Luo Di Te spread her arms, displaying a demeanor that said, "Come, indulge and enjoy to your heart's content."

In line with her previous words, this is no longer a hint but an explicit statement.

!

Seeing this, Artemis instantly became wary, her eyes fixed on the two OriginalBodies beside it and the eight Astates standing ahead.

Because besides it, there are He Si Ti Ya and Ya Dian Na, Afu Luo Di Te has the ability to awaken the most primal desire in every creature's heart.

Now Afu Luo Di Te has fallen into a demon, her divine power (Spiritual Energy) surpasses before, and Artemis harbors serious doubts about whether the OriginalBodies and Astates can resist the temptation.

One must know that no male would ever refuse the love god's proactive offering.

But the two OriginalBodies gave the most standard "answer."

"Swoosh~—!"

Shengjilesi shot a Spiritual Energy arrow bright enough to illuminate the entire underground space.

The moment the arrow struck the Spiritual Energy shield, an extremely dazzling flash explosion occurred, instantly tearing apart the shield generated by Afu Luo Di Te.

"Wham~!" The shield collapsed with a thunderous crash like shattered glass.

Seizing the emptiness, Lai'ang thrust his full strength to hurl the Cassius Spear.

"Rou~—!"

The double‑edged spear emitted an eerie blood‑red glow, whistling as it sliced through the air, heading straight toward Afu Luo Di Te.

Its speed was such that Afu Luo Di Te could not react at all.

After all, this fallen goddess has absolute confidence in her own beauty and body; theoretically, any male creature cannot resist its temptation.

Arrogance caused this former love god to let its guard down.

Moreover, this was Leon's full‑force strike; speed, power, accuracy—all aspects reached their peak, making it extremely difficult for Afu Luo Di Te, the former chief deity, to evade even if she were prepared.

In the blink of an eye.

The Cassius Spear, cutting with red light, pierced the pristine skin that ordinary metal could not even scratch, its powerful force thrust Afu Luo Di Te into flight.

"Ah—!" the fallen goddess let out a mournful scream.

"Boom!" The double‑edged spear, carrying Afu Luo Di Te, smashed through the stone wall and finally nailed her onto a stone slab at the center of the palace.

"Ugh! Ah! Damn!!"

It struggled terribly, nowhere near the exquisite appearance it had moments before.

But no matter how it struggled, it could not rise or use its power to pull out the double‑edged spear; it was nailed to the ground, immobile.

Meanwhile.

Leon, having thrown the double‑edged spear, did not idle; he drew the Lion King Sword attached to his back, gripping it with both hands.

"Buzz~!" The massive blade, flashing with cold light, quickly filled with a field of energy emitting a faint red glow.

"Dong! Dong!"

Then, Leon strode with a run that could make the earth tremble, fearlessly charging toward the palace.

And the eight Astates also raised Chain Swords, following Leon in a charge, ready to slash all impurity here.

"How… how… could this be possible?" Artemis was stunned on the spot.

It had considered that the OriginalBodies and Astates could withstand the temptation, but it did not expect that this group of god‑like males would refuse so outright!

But that's Afu Luo Di Te…

Some male gods would rather die than miss a night with her…

"Honored goddess," Shengjilesi, who also did not move his feet, said to Artemis in a gentle tone, smiling lightly as he explained:

"Never question my brothers', the Astates', and my loyalty to Father. Next time, I will not have the patience to explain anything to you; remember this."

As his words fell, Shengjilesi raised his hunting bow again, drew the string, and helped his brothers and the Astates eliminate the demons from afar.

Within the palace at this moment.

Between roads and structures…

"Hoo! Hoo—!" The sharp, piercing sound rang out as the Lion King Sword was swung rapidly.

"Sss! Sss—!" and the sound of demon bodies being easily sliced.

Leon, clad in OriginalBody‑powered armor, approached within five meters; his massive body rampaged recklessly through the palace.

The motion of swinging the Lion King Sword to slay demons was impossible to track with the naked eye.

Other demons farther away only saw Leon sprint straight toward the central palace, while behind him lay the black water formed from the deaths of their kind.

These demons that avoided Leon's killing fate failed to evade the eight Astates arriving with them…

"Die! You disgusting heretic!"

Die! Die! Die!

A metallic-sounding war cry reverberated, shaking the low‑tier gods and divine‑servant soldiers who had fallen and become demons, rattling their already filthy hearts.

Buzz~! Buzz——! Snick!

The Astate swung Chain Swords with rapidly spinning chains, using a brutally violent yet highly efficient method to cut down any demons within their sight.

Among them, a dark angel gripping a Chain Sword with both hands thrust a fierce slash at a demon clad in armor that stood more than half a meter taller than him.

The titanium alloy blade successfully pierced the armor, then sliced into the demon's body.

"Roar!!" the demon let out a howl of pain.

However, another demon, roughly the same height as the dark angel and wearing only a thin veil, seized the moment while the dark angel was focused on the waist‑cut of the armored demon, and launched a surprise attack from behind.

But…

"Pfft!" in an instant.

The dark angel didn't even turn his head, continued the waist‑cut with his right hand still gripping the Chain Sword, while his left hand, clenched into a fist, swung backward and smashed the head of the demon attempting the sneak attack.
