Chapter 212: So That's How Ares Got the Injury on His Face
City of the End.
A luxurious guesthouse in the city center.
Ares, the War God and one of the Twelve Olympians of Greece, with a face beaten black and blue, angrily grabbed the wine at his side and poured it straight into his mouth.
The air of bullying children, clamoring for dancing girls to accompany him, cat-girls to cushion his feet, and fox spirits to lift their tails to urinate, was completely gone.
"No, Heracles, what kind of madness are you in? Is that Su Nian your father? I only cursed a few times at a child."
"I haven't even messed with your mother, have I?"
"Is it necessary to hit me so hard?"
As he spoke, Ares gently touched the spot where Heracles had just hit him.
"Hiss~"
At the touch, a sharp pain surged through him, and Ares couldn't help but gasp.
"You even used your Authority."
After all, he who eats another's food is soft-mouthed, and he who takes another's gifts is short-handed; Heracles had gained a great deal from Su Nian, so he naturally wouldn't hold back when beating Ares.
Not to mention that there was already a significant conflict between him and Ares.
"Damn you, Poseidon, you thick-browed, big-eyed bastard, you actually set me up."
Ares said very angrily, seemingly preparing at every moment to go back and take revenge on Poseidon.
Poseidon's words echoed in his mind.
"Once you reach Arcadia, just express your dissatisfaction to your heart's content; Su Nian won't dare to do anything to you."
"Even if he hits you, you can completely use this to extort a sum from Arcadia and use it to pressure them."
"Of course, if that woman Athena appears, be sensible and back down; Athena won't do anything to you."
"Damn it, Poseidon, you didn't tell me Heracles would make a move."
"If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have come to this godforsaken place."
Ares picked up an ice pack from the side and gently applied it to the injury on his face, gasping as he did so.
"Damn, I've suffered a huge loss this time."
He had been beaten for nothing, and he had no way to voice his grievances.
"If I don't regain my face in Arcadia, I am no longer the War God!"
Ares looked hatefully toward Arcadia in the distance, a malicious light flashing in his crimson eyes.
Since he had been beaten by Heracles and couldn't beat him—or, to be precise, this Avatar he had sent couldn't beat Heracles—
he could only regain his face from Arcadia.
City of the End, around the city center, on a bridge crossing a creek.
A tall, sexy woman with white hair, crimson eyes, and wheat-colored skin, wearing a single ponytail, was looking at a high-rise building in the distance with a playful expression.
That was exactly where Ares's guesthouse was.
Since Ares was an uninvited guest, Su Nian had not specifically prepared a secret realm guesthouse for him, which was reserved for Four-digit Gods and Buddhas.
Instead, he had temporarily rented a building from Thousand Eyes that had undergone spatial expansion.
"To think that the Greek God Group would be the first to stir up trouble. Are they that impatient to distance themselves?"
The playful smile on her face was like that of a spectator in front of a circus, showing deep interest in the performance about to unfold.
Tap, tap!
Footsteps rang out.
The white-haired woman turned her head without the slightest surprise, just in time to see Uesugi Kenshin, dressed in a lady's suit and carrying a bag of beer, looking like a corporate slave who had just finished work.
As Uesugi Kenshin approached, she sighed helplessly.
"As expected, you're never missing from a lively place like this, Prthivi Mata."
The Earth Heaven, one of the Twelve Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Army.
A Three-digit Earth Goddess, and also a famous gossip goddess.
This was the true nature of the white-haired mature woman.
Seeing a familiar colleague, Mata was not surprised; instead, she laughed.
"Uesugi, you've come just in time; the good show is about to begin."
"A good show?"
Uesugi Kenshin looked in the direction Mata was watching, and with her level, she could naturally see the old acquaintance in the guesthouse not far away.
Afterwards, she frowned and asked.
"Ares? Did Greece send him to win over Su Nian?"
"Win him over? Sent by Greece?"
Mata's expression suddenly became very subtle, looking as if she wanted to laugh but was forcibly holding it back.
"If it were really as you say, that would be interesting."
After saying this, without waiting for Uesugi Kenshin to respond, she continued.
"Just keep watching; many people's eyes are already focused here."
"Oh?"
Uesugi Kenshin looked at Ares thoughtfully and narrowed her eyes.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a handsome man before?"
Ares held an ice pack in one hand to treat his wounds, while arrogantly and rudely retorting to the gazes that were observing him in secret.
"Especially you! You editor from the Spring Water Agency, stop staring at me with those eyes, you damn paparazzi!"
"If I find out that any news damaging to my reputation has appeared in Little Garden, watch out, or I'll go to the Heavenly Army to settle the score with you!"
Earth Heaven Prthivi Mata, the gossip goddess famous throughout Little Garden; this is news known to every Four-digit Community in Little Garden.
However, few among the Three-digit beings who are well-informed also know that this Mata is the editor-in-chief of the new problem Community, Spring Water Agency, and is specifically responsible for the paparazzi.
What kind of decent person uses the Heavenly Army's intelligence channels to run a tabloid?
Hearing this, Mata narrowed her eyes and waved her hand, dispersing the gazes that had shifted onto her.
Ares, is it? I have noted you.
But clearly, Ares's reputation has already been ruined by himself to the point where it cannot be ruined any further; he no longer has any reputation left.
Regarding this, Mata also felt a slight headache.
Ares's skin is too thick; even she has no way to deal with it.
Thump, thump!
"Hey, kid from Arcadia, where are the dancers I asked for?"
Ignoring the gazes observing him from all around, Ares slapped the wall and shouted in extreme displeasure.
It seemed he wanted to use this to express that Arcadia's hospitality was substandard and lacked sincerity.
Yet in reality, Arcadia's hospitality was already very impressive, with every aspect considered; under Canary's planning, even the gods most fastidious about etiquette could not pick out any problems.
But if one insisted on finding fault, Su Nian also had a way to handle it.
Withdrawing his gaze from Ares, Su Nian sighed helplessly.
"Do you want me to beat Ares up again?"
Heracles's honest voice rang in Su Nian's ear, and Su Nian shook his head.
"Even if you beat him ten more times, Ares will still be the same, and he might even cause more trouble."
"He is forcing me to step in."
"Forget it, if he wants dancers, then give him dancers, and the most beautiful dancers at that."
Su Nian looked toward Mata and nodded slightly at this famous gossip goddess.
Mata seemed to understand Su Nian's meaning; she could not help but reveal a smile on her face and watched Ares with even more curiosity.
Thump, thump!
"Lord Ares, the people from Arcadia have sent the dancers over."
A trembling male voice came from outside.
"Hahaha, the cowardly dogs of Arcadia have finally conceded."
Ares laughed heartily; he felt satisfied to the extreme. Arcadia was nothing more than a group of cowards.
He said toward the door.
"Let them in."
Then the door opened.
Three "ladies" walked in, wearing suspender outfits that only covered their private parts, possessing ink-black skin, wearing heavy makeup on their faces, with piles of fat hanging from their arms and thighs—the most politically correct and "most beautiful" diverse group.
"Oh my, Lord Ares, we have come to serve you..."
A greasy, disgusting voice that one would not know how to describe rang out in the room.
At this moment, the air seemed to fall into silence.
The perverted smile on Ares's face froze.
The divine senses spying here all fell into a brief pause, and many guys who were peeping via Gifts directly disconnected their links.
At this time, the leader, Ruhu, affectionately hugged Ares's arm, leaned against Ares's chest like a little bird, and said in a cloying tone.
"What's wrong? Lord Ares, do you not like our outfits? But wasn't this your request?"
"Of course, if you have other requests, our most beautiful dancer troupe can also satisfy them."
My request... Ares, having just reacted, groaned, and blood and tears could not help but overflow from his eyes.
Vaguely, Ares seemed to hear the sounds of various wills communicating.
"Holy crap, so Ares likes this kind? How come it feels like his taste is even heavier than Poseidon's?"
"I thought Poseidon was already the peak, I didn't expect there to be an even greater master!"
"It's over, when we cooperate with Ares in the future, will we have to use these kinds of 'beauties'? Fellow god-friends, do you have any ideas? Although it's on the public tab, I really don't want to accompany this lord in having such heavy tastes!"
Ares's face was now a sheet of iron-blue.
He could admit that he was not picky about his appetites and would pursue beautiful men he liked if he encountered them.
But the three "dancers" before his eyes did not fit his preferences at all; he only had one feeling now, which was wanting to vomit and wanting to gouge out his own eyes.
And at this moment, the one opposite, "Siyu," said with tolerance.
"I heard that when Lord Ares was pursuing another lady just now, he failed and was instead injured by her."
"But it doesn't matter, we will tolerate everything about Lord Ares."
Hearing this, the surrounding divine senses crashed for a moment, and then even more heated exchanges rang out.
"So... that's how the injury on Ares's face came about."
"We even thought he was injured by Heracles."
"Yeah, I thought so too."
"The news report must be reported truthfully."
Mata patted her chest and guaranteed that it would be reported absolutely truthfully, without any embellishment.
As for Uesugi Kenshin on the side, she had long since closed her eyes; her eyes had been stung.
"Arcadia bastards, I am truly angry now."
Ares said this, then waved his hand, and a massive force directly sent the three flying into the wall, severely injuring them in an instant.
Their necks tilted to the side, and they passed out on the spot just like that.
Hum—
The atmosphere suddenly solidified.
Streaks of golden radiance shone down from the sky, piercing through the floors, piercing through space, illuminating this room, and illuminating the angry face of Ares.
A loud shout rang out.
"Ares, you actually dare to harm the people of Arcadia! We have already done our best to satisfy your demands!"
"What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Although they were indeed not human, but people created by Canary, gathering countless elements of political correctness.
But even so, they were still the people of Arcadia.
In the sky, a lion composed of golden thunder revealed its ferocious head.
Lightning flickered; the golden lion seemed as if it would devour everything of Ares, pouncing toward Ares from the sky.
Ares had a ferocious expression, and a Golden Spear suddenly appeared in his hand; other than boundless blood-red color and the scratches of the battlefield, there were no other decorations on the Golden Spear.
"Laozi satisfy your mother's ass!"
"Isn't it just a big fight? Whoever is a sissy is the first to chicken out."
Ares brandished the Golden Spear and charged toward the thunder lion in the sky.
The Golden Spear and the thunder collided at this moment!
Boom!
The violent storm stirred the celestial phenomena; the original black night turned into an instant of daylight, and then immediately transformed into darkness in a flash, during which lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and wild winds howled.
"Damn it! Leo Sun Authority, you bastard are even more shameless than Laozi!"
Ares, whose entire body was pitch black and whose red hair was standing straight up from the electric shock, spat out a mouthful of black smoke and couldn't help but curse.
After all, the only Zodiac Sun Authority that Su Nian currently possessed was Leo.
So the strongest Familiar he currently had on him was actually the Fifth Familiar, Lion of Gold.
After the Lion of Gold fused with the Leo Sun Authority, it relied on their compatibility to leap into becoming a Four-digit Legendary existence, and it possessed the corresponding strength.
Although Ares was very strong, his true body was a Four-Digit Exceptional level powerhouse, and he also carried an Authority Artifact.
But the Avatar that came here naturally did not have the treatment of the true body, and could only rely on his understanding of his power to fight against it.
However, because of the essence of his Authority, his understanding of his power was also able to easily erupt with Four-Digit Exceptional strength.
But it was a very unfortunate matter that the Leo ability leaned toward defense, and this made things awkward.
In terms of fighting methods, the strength of both sides was about the same, but one was wearing armor, so the one who would eventually win would inevitably be the one wearing armor.
Not to mention that the ability of the Lion of Gold was also thunder, which was extremely strong in attack power, destructive power, and speed.
"Laozi is truly angry this time."
As he spoke, the rudeness and irritability on Ares's body all disappeared at this moment, leaving only the calmness belonging to a warrior.
He expressionlessly dropped the Golden Spear in his hand.
"Ares is going to use his power."
The smile on Mata's face immediately faded quite a bit, and it was even faintly somewhat solemn.
They were all clear about the weakness of Leo, which was that it would be at a disadvantage when facing bare-handed combat.
And even if Ares was disgraceful, he was still the War God, and his martial arts were the best of the best, not to mention that he was also using his power.
"Should we make a move? The little guy might not be a match for Ares."
"Let's just observe for now."
"Indra said that unless Su Nian uses the Vajra, we can just watch the show with peace of mind."
Uesugi Kenshin said indifferently.
