Chapter 2002: Chapter 2002: Return
Gabriel ultimately escaped, and also abducted Hades.
After Long Qie and the others had tidied up the troops of the Bright Church, they finally arrived at the peak of the Holy Mountain.
When they saw the Temple, which had turned into ruins, and Xiao Zheng, who was covered head to toe in bloodstains, their expressions were full of shock. It was hard for them to imagine who in this world could push Xiao Zheng to such a state.
"Mr. Xiao, are you okay?"
Long Qie hurried over and asked with concern.
The people with Evil Eyes also stepped forward, wanting to help assess Xiao Zheng’s injuries.
Feeling everyone’s concern, a trace of color finally appeared on Xiao Zheng’s pale face, and he spoke hoarsely: "I’m fine, just a bit exhausted. My injuries are not serious."
Seeing that he was conscious and able to speak, everyone finally relaxed.
To be honest, Long Qie and the others were indeed worried he might be in trouble.
After all, Xiao Zheng is the backbone of the Sky Net; if anything happened to him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Lord Evil God, what exactly happened at the top of the mountain just now? Who could have forced you to such a degree?" Brent approached, glanced around, and asked with some worry, "And why isn’t Lord Netherworld here, where did he go?"
Upon hearing his words, everyone suddenly realized that Hades was missing!
For a moment, countless eyes simultaneously fell on Xiao Zheng!
Upon hearing this, a flash of hatred and guilt appeared in Xiao Zheng’s eyes: "The person we were just fighting with is the legendary Church God, Gabriel."
What!
As soon as they heard the name, everyone looked shocked and gasped!
Long Qie was the first to react, then hurriedly asked, "Mr. Xiao, is this true? Did you really just fight with Church God Gabriel? Is he really still alive?"
Not only him, but others also found it hard to believe.
Xiao Zheng nodded solemnly and said, "I don’t wish for him to be alive, but the fact is, he is indeed alive, and he’s doing well. He took Hades away, claiming that if I want to rescue Hades, I should go to the Polar for a life-and-death duel with him in seven days."
Upon hearing this, everyone tacitly fell into silence.
They never expected that the battle at the mountain peak would be so complicated and challenging.
First, the Church God Gabriel, who was rumored to be the disappeared, showed up, and then Hades was abducted; all these news were hard for them to digest in a short time.
"Rest assured, I will definitely rescue Hades," Xiao Zheng gently said, "In this battle, either he dies, or I die!"
His gaze gradually became fierce, revealing a murderous intent.
No matter what, Xiao Zheng will not leave Hades unattended. Not to mention that Hades was injured and captured by Gabriel because he saved him. Just the relationship between them is enough for Xiao Zheng not to abandon her.
Long Qie glanced at him, wanting to say something, but couldn’t utter a word.
As for the Blood Clan, they were seething with anger.
After all, Hades is their Netherworld King, the common leader of the Blood Clan; now that he was captured by Church God Gabriel, they are immensely furious. However, alongside their anger, they also feel helpless.
After all, Church God Gabriel in Europe is greatly revered, and to a large extent, his existence is like a True God living in this world.
"Lord Evil God, Lord Netherworld, we entrust him to you," Brent said solemnly, his tone suppressing a trace of anger and helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng nodded and said: "I will definitely rescue Hades; there’s no need for you to worry. As long as I don’t appear, she will be absolutely safe in Gabriel’s hands."
Brent nodded, then spoke: "Then let’s go back to rest for a while; there are still seven days until the agreed upon battle day, and you are now injured. First, return to Song City to recuperate."
Xiao Zheng nodded and didn’t say anything further.
At that moment, his face displayed deep weakness; after a major battle, he was already exhausted. If not for the Golden Bone constantly repairing his body, he couldn’t have persisted until now.
Soon, everyone retreated from the Yacha Mountain Range like a tide, leaving behind the scattered corpses and ruins.
Once the Sky Net and Blood Clan troops withdrew from the Holy Land of the Bright Church, various forces sent scouts to investigate, eager to learn the outcome of this war.
When these scouts discovered that the Holy Land of the Church was a ghost town, and there were corpses scattered all over the plains below the mountain, all major forces realized that the battle had already determined a victor; the Blood Clan achieved a great victory!
Once this news spread across Europe and even the whole world, everyone was greatly shocked!
Because from the start of the war, nobody favored the Sky Net and the Blood Clan; in their subconscious, they all believed the Bright Church would be the final victor. Even after the Bright Church suffered several defeats consecutively, people still maintained this belief.
However, reality slapped them with a painful awakening, forcing them to admire Xiao Zheng and Hades.
In a short time, the Sky Net and Blood Clan were in the spotlight, and there was almost no force that could compare to them!
While everyone was fervently discussing the details of this epic battle, Xiao Zheng quietly returned to Song City with the experts of Sky Net and the Blood Clan.
He did not go to the Netherworld King Temple but stayed in the city.
Because Xiao Zheng worries he’ll be overcome with emotion, knowing that Hades was injured because of him, out of guilt, he feels too ashamed to go to the Netherworld King Temple again. At least until he rescues Hades, he definitely won’t go to the Netherworld King Temple.
When everyone returned to Song City, everyone was exhausted in body and mind.
After all, not only Xiao Zheng, but Long Qie and the others also experienced many battles and fights.
Back in Song City, without needing instructions, everyone quickly found a place to rest. Tonight in Song City, snores were bound to echo throughout; even Xiao Zheng fell asleep right away after returning to the hotel and lying on the bed.
Only until the next day did everyone wake up feeling refreshed.
Xiao Zheng opened his eyes, staring at the hotel room’s ceiling, and his eyes showed a hint of confusion. But soon his gaze became extremely determined, after sitting up, he took out the small wooden box from his pocket.
However, just as he was about to open the little wooden box containing the Golden Bone, there was a knock on the door.
Followed by Long Qie’s voice from outside: "Mr. Xiao, are you awake?"
"Come in," Xiao Zheng gently said.
Only after getting his permission did Long Qie push the door open and come in.
