"Hiss!"
Just as Hou looked at the clouds, Athena Shazhi did not dare to move.
He even covered his mouth with his hand.
He was afraid that he would make a sound and cause the other party to be dissatisfied.
She was a saint-tier beastmaster ranked among the twelve main gods of Mount Olympus.
An existence qualified to inherit Athena's name.
When he faced Hou, he actually had the helplessness and panic of a mortal.
It was only three seconds, but it felt like a century had passed.
Hou only glanced at the other party before looking away.
Hulu!
The seawater parted, and its figure disappeared into the vast sea again.
The Hou disappeared completely.
Athena Shazhi didn't even pause for a moment before flying away.
It was even faster than when Uriel had fled.
After running for thousands of miles, Athena Shazhi finally stopped.
She realized that her body was completely drenched in cold sweat.
"It's too terrifying."
After a long while, Athena Shazhi came back to her senses, and her entire body was still trembling.
"That's not right. Uriel of the Holy See is actually dead. Other than me, only that girl from the Dragon Country knows the truth!”
Athena, who had recovered from her shock, suddenly had a thought and a smile appeared on her face.
"Hehe, it seems like the luck of the Church is really bad!”
She moved and rushed toward Mount Olympus.
"If we keep this secret completely, the Holy See will definitely think that it's the Dragon Country's doing, right? Giggle!"
The Holy See was one of the most powerful forces on the entire Blue Planet, and it was also a rival of Mount Olympus.
This time, although it was Hou who killed Uriel, no one else saw it.
As for the little girl from the Dragon Country, even if word got out...
With the Church's suspicious nature, they would not believe it.
At that time, the Holy See might take even more drastic actions.
Thinking of this, the smile on Athena Shazhi's face widened.
Far away on the West Coast, in the temple of the Church.
"What is it? Uriel's statue had shattered?”
The Pope, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly had a drastic change in expression.
"How did this happen? Didn't I tell him not to go to the Dragon Country?”
Beside him, the golden-haired Michelsen spoke with an ugly expression.
"Your Holiness, not only did Uriel leave the Church, he…he also took five Silver Dragon Guards with him.”
"What is it? He actually mobilized five Silver Dragon Guards?"
The Pope's expression instantly turned ugly.
Dragon City was the closest to the Holy See, and the two had always been on good terms.
It was because of this that they were able to hand over the Silver Dragons to the Church to serve as Silver Dragon Guards.
Furthermore,
Silver Dragons were immune to elements and good at flying. They were rare in the entire Dragon City.
Five silver dragons!
How was he going to explain this to the person in Dragon City?
"Who is it? Kill Uriel and the Silver Dragon?"
The furious Pope's face was as cold as ice.
"Lord Pope!"
At this moment, a figure in a bishop's robe appeared outside the temple.
It was the Red Cardinal in charge of delivering messages, Remick.
"I've already used my ability to investigate Uriel's cause of death.”
" He was killed by a powerful water spell.”
"Moreover, the location is in the territory of the Dragon Country.”
"Dragon Country?"
"Dammit!"
Michelsen waved his fists in anger.
"Lord Pope, let me teach them a lesson!”
"Water-type. It must be a subdued beast brought back by the two elders of the Dragon Country.”
" That's right, Your Excellency. The Dragon Country actually dares to act so arrogantly just because they have two subdued beasts that are ranked high. It's time to let them know that the dignity of the Holy See cannot be violated.”
Remick was also indignant and advocated taking action.
"Wait!"
The Pope suddenly raised his hand and said with a hint of doubt.
"Although the Dragon Country's strength has increased, it shouldn't be to the extent that Uriel doesn't even have a chance to escape, right?”
"This…"
Hearing the Pope's doubts, the two's faces changed.
Indeed, there was something fishy about the information.
"It wasn't those two who attacked. There are other water-type subdued beasts in the Dragon Country?”
Remik was puzzled.
"Don't move for the time being."
The Pope waved his hand." Remick, you are the archbishop in charge of intelligence. We need to investigate this matter properly.”
"Your Holiness, are we not going to care about Uriel's death?”
Michelsen couldn't help but frown.
"If that's the case, the prestige of our Church will definitely be affected.”
"Of course not."
" But we need to confirm the truth," the Pope said calmly." Moreover, the day of the reward is not far away.
There was also a new round of rankings that would be revealed.
This is the most important thing."
" More importantly, have you forgotten…"
The Pope's eyes flashed with fear." Does that person exist?”
"That person?"
Their expressions changed when they heard that.
Lu Yi was a name that had been deeply engraved in their minds ever since the appearance of the Divine Beast Ranking.
Among them, Wu Zhiqi was hidden in the Dragon Country.
"Alright, let the beastmasters of the Church Tier Eight and above return!”
" Humph!" The pope held his forehead." We can't tell whether the news from Mount Olympus was given to us on purpose or not!"”
"Everything will be decided after the rewards are distributed.”
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Thousands of miles away from the Holy See, Athena Shazhi looked in the direction of the Holy See with a puzzled expression.
"Strange, the Pope is actually indifferent? It seems that I have indeed underestimated him."
"Hehe, it doesn't matter!"
Athena Shazhi chuckled." The Silver Dragon is the treasure of Dragon City. If the Dragon Lord finds out, I'm afraid he won't let it go just like that, right? Hehehe!"
Not long after Athena disappeared, a message flew out from Mount Olympus.
They headed straight for the distant Dragon City.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the seventh day was about to end.
In the void, the huge Imperial Beast Divine Ranking was like the sky.
The rankings had already changed unknowingly.
But…
The higher one got, the more stable the ranking became.
That was because no one had a fever and rushed to find trouble with these subdued beasts.
"It's almost over. It's finally time for the rewards to be distributed.”
Many people began to stare at the countdown on the Divine Beast Board.
Ten hours!
Nine hours!
……
One hour!
One minute!
Ten seconds!
Five seconds!
The countdown was about to end.
Suddenly, Wu Zhiqi, who was ranked 11th on the Imperial Beast Divine Board, moved.
