"The back hill! That woman!"
Finally, with Luo En's reminder, chanical God Aphrodite managed to find the critical point of change within her chaotic mories.
"After eting her, I can't rember anything, as if my consciousness was dragged into a pitch-black swamp, trapped in a very long, terrifying nightmare—there were companions dying everywhere, their remains scattered all around..."
Hearing Aphrodite's murmurs, Luo En felt a flicker of déjà vu and narrowed his eyes involuntarily.
"Words alone are not proof. Do you rember what that woman looked like? Describe her."
Perhaps to unravel the doubts in her heart, Aphrodite concentrated spirit particles at her fingertips and cooperatively sketched out the figure of the mysterious girl in mid-air.
Staring at the charming features and the signature black-purple long hair, Luo En's gaze flickered with a profound light.
It was indeed her! The woman he had encountered in the Underground Temple!
"Who is she?"
"I don't know..."
Aphrodite shook her head blankly, her face filled with frustration.
"That woman seed very familiar with us. With just one glance, she shut down my Divine Core and implanted her own consciousness into my body..."
As Aphrodite narrated, Luo En roughly pieced together the context of the entire event.
The woman had also been severely injured in the battle at the Underground Temple, so she took the opportunity to flee to the surface, coincidentally running into Aphrodite who had co to the back hill to investigate.
Under so strange compulsion, the woman easily defeated the chanical God of the Bronze tribe and infiltrated Aphrodite's body with her consciousness, hoping to get closer to another target—Luo En himself.
Coming specifically for ? Were these orders from soone, or was it her own initiative?
Regrettably, the Sigil of All-Encompassing Destruction only severred the woman's control over Aphrodite, without being able to capture her...
Luo En stroked his chin thoughtfully for a mont, but due to insufficient information, he could not reach a definitive conclusion and had no choice but to let it go. He then turned his attention to another person involved.
"Regarding that woman's matter, I'll tentatively believe what you said. Now let's talk about you, shall we?"
"What about ?"
"Your identity..."
"I am from the Sea God Temple, didn't you know that already? Why ask sothing you already know?"
"What about the Bronze tribe? You must have heard of that na, haven't you, Goddess Aphrodite?"
Hearing that aningful mutter, Aphrodite's heart clenched, and she looked at the other party warily.
"How do you know that?"
"Sorry, I'm the one asking questions right now. You don't have the privilege to ask."
Luo En leaned forward slightly, eyeing the relic of an ancient era with curiosity.
"Tell , how many people of the Bronze tribe are left? How many chanical Gods like you are there? Where is your settlent? And why have you gotten tangled up with Poseidon? If you confess honestly, we can write off our previous grievances."
"Fine, I'll tell you…"
Aphrodite seed to clear her confusion, hanging her head in anguish.
But as the figure in front of the stone table leaned in to listen, the previously half-dead Aphrodite suddenly flashed a fierce look in her eyes, her body springing forward.
With one hand, she grabbed the Golden Dagger on the ground and with the other, she aid for the man's throat in front of her, intending to take him by surprise and use him as a hostage to regain the upper hand.
She was a Magnificent chanical God, born of the Bronze tribe for battle! How could she be easily manipulated?
Aphrodite sneered internally, her face full of pride.
However, the mont her fingertips were about to touch the other's neck, Luo En's lips suddenly curved into a brilliant, sinister smile. He casually stepped back, as if he had anticipated everything.
"Sit down!"
At the sa mont, an irritated cry ca from behind.
Aphrodite instantly stiffened, sitting bolt upright onto the ground.
"Crack..."
In the crisp sound of breaking bones, Aphrodite, operating at full power, sat down into the floor tiles. She looked bewilderedly at her twisted legs and the lower half of her body that had lost sensation, her expression a mix of shock and rage.
"What have you done to ?"
"Allow to introduce dea, my junior sister, the disciple of the Goddess of the Underworld Hecate, whose mastery of witchcraft already surpasses her teacher; and in her hand, that Cursed Blade, nad [All-Law Talisman], is one of Hecate's three Divine Tools, capable of breaking and casting curses of the highest order..."
Luo En introduced the person and the blade standing behind Aphrodite with a teasing smile in his eyes.
"Did you think we would remove your control without leaving anything behind?"
Looking at the unfazed sibling pair, Aphrodite realized that she had just escaped a wolf's den, only to enter a tiger's lair.
The so-called gap she had seen was simply a bait the man in front of her had intentionally laid out.
"Did you record her attempting to assassinate just now?"
"Got it, and it's even clearer than last ti!"
dea pulled out the Shadow Crystal Stone she had on her, her young face beaming with a radiant, innocent smile.
Luo En took the evidence and waved it in front of Aphrodite, teasing her with a laugh.
"With this, Triton should have nothing to say, right? Moreover, if this gets out, I wonder if Poseidon will still be willing to protect your Bronze tribe."
Aphrodite watched the cunning siblings before her, her eyes welling up slightly, her heart filled with grief and indignation.
