"Bastard!"

Athena found herself in a desperate situation, feeling a sense of desolation, an unwillingness, and a great hatred!

Athena's life had always been legendary, single-handedly founding the Messiah Organization, creating myths, attempting to redeem the world, and becoming the supreme sovereign!

However, as the chaotic times emerged, the earth fell into turmoil, and Athena's glory was no more.

Especially in recent years, a terrifying presence descended, seized control of the Bright Divine Court, plunging the entire West into chaos.

The Messiah Organization established by Athena was abolished in this turmoil.

Moreover, Athena also encountered a crisis, and if it wasn't for Yalina risking her life to protect her, Athena would have long suffered disaster.

Yalina and Athena were twin sisters, but because of differing ideologies, their relationship had always been poor.

Yet, Yalina's sacrifice to save her made Athena fully comprehend the preciousness of sisterly affection.

Athena, nearly killed by the Divine Court, never gave up on the idea of survival, simply wanting to save her sister!

But with Blood Wing's group of exalted lords closing in, Athena found herself in a dire situation, filled with despair!

Yalina refused to sink, angry at being so oppressed, she held great hatred for these people!

However, no matter how Athena thought about it, she couldn't change the current situation; she was powerless to turn the tide!

"Athena, do you still want to act madly?" said the Blood Wing man. "If your fighting spirit continues to burn, it will be completely extinguished, and then you will truly become a waste!"

Athena's fighting spirit was still burning, but her state had already slipped from its peak, showing signs of decline!

Moreover, if she didn't break out of this state, her Taoist heart would completely collapse, leaving her powerless to return, making it difficult for her to enter the martial path again in her lifetime!

"Heh." Athena looked at the enemies before her and let out a cold laugh, fully revealing her grim demeanor.

"Break free from this state, or else your Taoist heart will collapse, and not even a god can save you!" an exalted lord advised, looking at Athena.

"You want to suppress me, but you don't dare to kill me. Is this because you are afraid of my death?" Athena sneered, as if realizing something.

"Our master highly values you and wants to cultivate you into a saint, so we haven't killed you!" Blood Wing replied.

The evil entity that seized the Bright Divine Court was the master of Blood Wing and others, an invincible presence capable of penetrating the heavens and the earth!

This entity, for some unknown reason, paid special attention to Yalina and Athena, instructing them to be safely brought back.

Thus, Blood Wing and others repeatedly held back, refraining from killing Athena outright, otherwise, even if Athena burned with fighting spirit, she wouldn't withstand the combined assault of so many exalted lords.

"Haha, your master wants to cultivate me into a saint?" Athena laughed derisively. "How mighty and invincible are saints? One wanting to attain sainthood must not only defy destiny but also meet the right opportunity—how can it be deliberately cultivated?"

Athena's cultivation was still shallow, and she had no qualifications for attaining sainthood yet. However, even though she hadn't touched it, she knew the rarity of the position of sainthood, making deliberate cultivation impossible.

"The master's presence is supremely great, with a cultivation that reaches through the heavens and the earth, omnipotent and omnipresent—this is beyond your imagination," Blood Wing said plainly.

"A dog!" Athena looked at Blood Wing coldly.

"Haha, being the master's dog is a blessing of three lifetimes for me!" Blood Wing, instead of being angered by Athena's ridicule, felt somewhat proud.

"Boom!"

Surrounded by exalted lords, Athena remained quiet for a moment before once again stirring up a tempest,

However, Athena did not choose to flee because she knew escape was impossible, so she resolutely chose to fight desperately!

Strong people always have a heart of madness, and driven to the brink, Athena erupted in mania, with myriad thoughts flooding her mind.

"Rumble!"

Athena's fighting spirit burned fiercely, erupting into a storm, sweeping toward the exalted lords.

"Even if I can't kill you, I will tear a piece of flesh off you, leaving a scar!" Athena waved her delicate hand, executing a cross-shaped light slash, cutting through all directions and all things.

"Athena has gone mad. If this continues, she'll definitely exhaust herself to death!" an exalted lord said. "We should forcibly suppress and break this state of hers!"

"Alright, everyone together, no more holding back!" an exalted lord commanded.

"Rumble!"

Athena's do-or-die stance incited a violent response from the exalted lords, who forcibly suppressed her.

Athena could not die, for their master had instructed them to bring back a living Athena!

"Heavenly Fire Annihilation, Five Elements Cage!"

"Lightning for the Masses, Spear of the Elves!"

"Demon-Slaying Land Sword, Suppress!"

"Kill!"

The exalted lords unleashed their power simultaneously, causing various deadly moves to erupt, shaking the rainforest and plunging Athena into crisis.

"Bastard!"

Clad in radiant glory, Athena resembled a female War God, but the assault of the exalted lords left her extremely battered, with her battle robe utterly shattered.

"Athena, surrender. We won't kill you!" Blood Wing said in a deep voice. "You are already a strong bow at your end. If you continue, you'll break the string and shatter the bow, so why go through this?"

Athena's fighting spirit continued to burn, growing stronger and fiercer. If it went on like this, losing her cultivation would be minor; her life would be at risk.

The master wanted a living Athena, and Blood Wing dared not go against the master's orders, forcing Athena to death.

"I've said it before, if you don't let me go, I will fight to the death with you, a do-or-die struggle, until one of us perishes!"

Athena's situation was dire, absolutely in a desperate situation. But, she was overly frenzied, harboring a willingness to die, fighting fiercely despite the precarious circumstances.

"Boom!"

Athena clashed with an exalted lord, transforming into two beams of light colliding with each other.

After burning her fighting spirit, Athena could unleash a hall-level power that was absolutely terrifyingly invincible.

However, this exalted lord was no weaker than her because he was a hall-level powerhouse himself!

"Die!"

Athena unleashed blazing flames from her hands, striking towards the lord before her.

The lord, upon seeing the flames approach, opted not to confront them head-on. Instead, he shifted his position and escaped the fiery onslaught.

"..."

This lord was extremely formidable; even though Athena was burning with fighting spirit, she could not overpower him.

However, Athena dared to risk her life, whereas the lord would not.

He and Bloodwing served the same master, knowing their master valued Athena highly. Thus, he was hesitant and dared not strike decisively.

"Kill!"

Though the lord was hesitant, Athena was not. Charging with murderous intent, she conjured a spear and struck the lord, making him cough up blood.

"Bastard!"

The lord roared wildly at Athena. If it weren't for his master's orders, Athena would have been dead long ago. It was unthinkable that she had managed to cause him to bleed, leaving him feeling aggrieved.

The lords serving under Bloodwing were strong enough to crush Athena!

But due to their hesitation to deal a fatal blow, Athena ran rampant against them.

"Bloodwing, Athena really seems to have a death wish. Should we kill her or not?" All the lords looked towards Bloodwing, seeking guidance.

Bloodwing was the strongest among them and their leader, the servant most favored by their master.

Athena's desperate resistance troubled them greatly; they wanted Bloodwing to take the lead on this issue.

If they killed Athena, their master would be infuriated. If they did not kill her, they faced being killed by Athena instead!

Thus, the question of whether to kill or not became an excruciating dilemma.

"Kill!" Bloodwing roared. "We have held back time and again, yet Athena stubbornly persists; we cannot be blamed for being ruthless!"

Athena's fierce character and crazed actions incited Bloodwing's impatience, prompting him to end it all quickly.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

With Bloodwing's shout, the group of lords erupted in a violent assault on Athena, holding nothing back anymore.

They intended to show Athena the futility of resistance, to make her realize she could not overturn the situation and should give up resisting.

But Athena was dead set on her path, refusing to compromise in the slightest, forcing them to kill to stop the killing!

"Rumble!"

The lords, no longer holding back, caused great terror in the area. A forest was toppled, and the ground collapsed.

"Splash!"

This group of ferocious lords unleashed their fury, disrupting the heavens. Athena could hardly defend, being blasted back and spewing blood.

Even with her burning battle spirit, Athena was not a match for Bloodwing, let alone all of them combined.

"The War God's heart is exhausted, finally starting to collapse!"

After being blasted back, Athena leaned against a big tree, coughing blood. Her complexion turned pale, her life force waning, and the radiance around her fading.

Moreover, her power leaked out, turning into spiritual energy that dissipated into the void!

As her fighting spirit burned, her state had already declined. With the additional heavy blow, it was undoubtedly adding insult to injury, even her soul strength was weakening.

"Athena, since you seek death so eagerly, we'll grant you your wish!" Bloodwing said with murderous intent as he looked at Athena.

Due to the master's orders, Bloodwing had been cautious, refraining from truly killing Athena.

However, Athena's relentless defiance wore out his patience, and he resolved to kill.

"..."

Athena's condition was dire, as the lords pressed in on her, pushing her into a desperate situation, leaving her powerless to resist or struggle.

Yet, Athena showed no fear, manifesting a form of madness, a frantic hysteria.

"Athena, your fighting spirit is spent, your life force is exhausted. Even if we don't kill you, you'll die on your own!" Bloodwing said. "But we've known each other for many years, as good friends, I can't bear to see you suffer, so I'll help you find relief!"

"Bloodwing, you've aligned with evil, destined for a miserable end. I curse you with disaster, to be slapped to death by someone, dying a horrendous death!" Athena cursed venomously.

"Haha, slapped to death by someone, dying a horrendous death?" Bloodwing laughed grimly. "With my invincible power, about to become a Saintly Great Power, who could slap me to death?"

"Someone will bring you down!" Athena spat with hatred.

"Haha, let me deal with you first then!" Bloodwing sneered arrogantly. "I intended to spare you, but since you're so defiant, I'll send you to hell!"

"Boom!"

Bloodwing, with his aura of bloodthirst, approached Athena, and struck down with a palm.

"Boom!"

However, at that moment, a gigantic palm descended from the heavens, aiming at Bloodwing, shaking the world as it fell.

"What!"

This unexpected strike left Bloodwing aghast, hastily attempting to evade.

But the formidable and boundless force of the palm engulfed all, draping over heaven and earth, leaving no room to escape or hide.

"Boom!"

Before the mighty palm, Bloodwing had no power to resist, being smashed into a mist of blood, dissipating in the air.

"..."

This sudden twist left everyone dumbfounded, a fear spreading throughout.
