Chapter 179 May There Be No Wild Boars in Heaven
As a parchment sketching out the general location and area fell into his hands, Luo En nodded in satisfaction.
He gave it a cursory glance and, with his extraordinary memory, etched the content into his mind before stuffing the "letter of challenge" into the Magic Circle Diagram.
"Your body hasn't fully recovered, and it's not suitable for you to appear before that War God. Stay here for the time being, I'll go and draw him away," Luo En said.
Hearing the arrangement, Thetis let out a sigh of relief.
She was truly afraid that this fellow would force her hand, insisting that she stab Adonis along with him and board the ship only after leaving behind concrete evidence of the deed.
As Thetis was pondering to herself, a cool metal badge was thrust into her hand by the other party.
The Ocean Goddess spread out her palm to see a bronze badge emblazoned with the Gorgon Medusa Emblem—exquisite in design and craftsmanship, with special runes engraved on both sides.
"This is reciprocity," Luo En said with a slight smile. "Consider it my way of repaying you for saving my life. If you need to, use it to contact me, and I'll do my best to help you once."
Are you sure this is about repaying a debt, and not about exacting revenge?
Thetis muttered to herself skeptically, feeling the emblematic suspicious object in her palm somewhat hot to the touch.
Although driven by circumstances, she had to collaborate with the man before her to fool Ares, who was blocking the door.
But that didn't mean she wanted to tie herself to that sinking ship, and from now on, share risks with some unsteady people.
However, after much hesitation, she still pocketed the badge.
It's okay to have it, just not use it if necessary.
Seeing that Thetis had accepted the token, Luo En also showed a smile, releasing more goodwill.
"I accidentally damaged your dress last time. I'll get you a better one when I return," he said.
Last time?
Thetis murmured to herself, seemingly recalling something.
All things considered, they had only met twice in total.
Apart from this time, the other encounter was during the negotiations on Sicily.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
And unfortunately, on that trip, she not only was robbed clean but also had a piece of her dress torn off.
Instantly, a certain Ocean Goddess's face darkened, and a murderous aura filled her eyes.
"Time is of the essence, I'm leaving first!"
At this point, Luo En apparently realized he had accidentally slipped up and hastily dived into the surging dark red sea, vanishing into the tumultuous waves in a blink of an eye.
This little rascal!
Thetis looked up to find the slippery eel had already made a hasty escape upon sensing danger, grinding her teeth in frustration and clenching her fists unconsciously harder.

"I am one whose sharp fangs imperil all who approach, I grant thee destruction!"
With a silent chant, the halo behind Luo En turned, and the [Boar] carrying the divine power of [Destruction] emerged, slowly merging with his figure.

"Bang!"
The next instant, amidst a piercing loud crack, the tusks of the [Boar] sank into the gap between the two shells. Making use of the divine right of [Destruction], he forcefully pried them apart.
The pink flesh of the clam, sensing danger, trembled as it spat out a figure that had been enveloped within.
Half-asleep and half-awake, Adonis struggled to open his eyes, only to see in a daze a wild boar with variegated fur baring its teeth at him, revealing an almost human-like smile.
This terrifying and bizarre scene provided a strong visual and psychological shock.
With a jolt, Adonis fully awoke, hastily sitting up on the sandy seafloor, his complexion deathly pale, looking around in panic.
Yet what he saw was a desolate emptiness.
What, another nightmare?
"Found you, you little bastard!"
Just as Adonis was beginning to relax, a nightmarish voice emanated from the coral forest, and the tyrannical figure wielding a golden sharp sword appeared before him.
In an instant, the handsome man's blood ran cold, and his eyes turned ashen.
It's over, Ares!
Meanwhile, Ares, upon seeing Adonis, first froze and then, sensing the residue of the [Spear of Nation-Building] within him, immediately erupted into an angry, sinister chuckle.
"Good lad, you again? Die!"
The golden sharp sword swung forward, unstoppable, its brutal crimson light sweeping violently, shredding everything in its path.
"No~!"
At this moment, Aphrodite, realizing something was amiss and racing from Olympus towards the Bay of Polis Forest, looked upon the crimson blade splitting the sea and couldn't help turning deathly pale, letting out a mournful cry like a cuckoo shedding blood.
But distant water cannot quench a near thirst, and alas, the reach was too short.
A certain essence, intertwined with the heart's blood of the Goddess of Love, unceremoniously dissolved beneath that expanse of blood-red light.
"Ares!"
The voice, filled with grief and chill, reverberated to the heavens as the disheveled Goddess of Love and Beauty, like a raging lioness, pounced upon the ravaging crimson on the sea.
At this very moment, hidden in the forests of Cyprus.
A certain culprit who took advantage of the chaos to flee, hearing that blood-curdling cry, crossed himself before the vast expanse.
Brother, may your journey be peaceful...
May the Netherworld be without wild boars, or Ares.
