Chapter 2020: Chapter 2020: Return
Because of greed, war has reignited on the European Continent.
Countless factions are involved, and every day people lose their lives because of this.
The whole of Europe seems to have returned to the turbulent Middle Ages overnight. Some factions that are unwilling to be involved in this battle, as well as ordinary people, have begun fleeing Europe...
The turmoil in Europe can simply be described as dark.
However, far away in the Ice Plateau, Xiao Zheng and Hades are unaware of the happenings outside.
They are recuperating and training in the palace left behind by Gabriel, completely disconnected from the outside world. Not until the twelfth day after Xiao Zheng’s battle with Gabriel do they both finally finish their training.
After twelve days of seclusion, Xiao Zheng’s eyes snapped open, and a sharp gleam flashed through them.
He now feels his body full of strength, and his internal injuries have obviously healed!
In comparison, Hades isn’t as fortunate as Xiao Zheng.
Without the aid of the Golden Bone, she can only rely on her own strength to heal, and after twelve days of recuperation, her injuries have only slightly improved. As for her combat power, it’s only recovered to sixty percent.
But even with only sixty percent of her combat strength restored, it’s enough for them to leave the Ice Plateau.
"Are you ready?"
Xiao Zheng looked at Hades and suddenly laughed as he asked.
Upon hearing this, Hades glanced at him skeptically and asked, "Ready for what?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but show a trace of helplessness and said, "Of course, ready to go home! We’ve stayed here for so many days, haven’t you grown tired of it?"
Hades was momentarily silent, not knowing what to say.
Actually, she still liked this place in her heart; more precisely, she really enjoyed the time alone with Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng didn’t know what she was thinking, so he said with some excitement, "Do you think that since we’ve been missing for so long, has everything outside blown up? I wonder how anxious Long Qie and the others are, hahaha."
After speaking, he couldn’t help but laugh.
If Long Qie and the others who are currently fighting heard what Xiao Zheng said, they’d definitely be so angry they’d spit blood.
Xiao Zheng stretched out his slightly stiff body, then said to Hades, "It’s not early anymore; let’s hurry and leave. We’ve lingered on this ice plain for so many days; it’s time to go back."
Hades nodded, then followed him out of the palace.
Outside, the wind and snow remained, and the sky was dark and terrifying.
However, all these are just the typical scenery of the Ice Plateau. As for the deepest part where Xiao Zheng went, the scene is a hundredfold more shocking and terrifying than where they are now.
After walking out of the palace, the two didn’t linger to admire the surroundings. They quickly rose into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
In less than half an hour, the two returned to the Netherworld King Temple.
At this moment, only a few attendants were busy in the Netherworld King Temple.
When they saw Xiao Zheng and Hades descend from the sky, their faces instantly showed a trace of shock; some couldn’t even close their mouths, completely stunned in place.
"What’s wrong with you? Are you not happy to see us back?"
Xiao Zheng wasn’t as aloof as Hades. Even though the people in front of him were merely attendants, he could still make jokes.
Upon hearing this, the attendants finally reacted and then knelt on the ground in panic.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zheng suddenly felt helpless and uninterested.
Hades slowly approached them and then said, "Stand up. Where is Brent? Why aren’t the nine priests in the temple during the watch?"
Upon hearing her question, one attendant hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Lord Netherworld, the nine priests are out on missions. Including the subordinates of the Evil God, they’re also out on missions."
"Are Long Qie and the others also out on missions?" Xiao Zheng first appeared a bit surprised, then couldn’t help but frown and ask, "Weren’t the people from the Bright Church all killed? What missions are they on now?"
Facing his question, the attendant dared not delay and hurriedly recounted everything that had happened during their disappearance.
Upon learning that the war had reignited on the European continent and countless factions were involved, Xiao Zheng and Hades couldn’t help but frown.
Neither of them expected such significant events would happen during their time of seclusion and healing.
"Human nature is greedy; this phrase is indeed true," Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but sneer as he said, "When we waged war with the Bright Church, these factions hid like rats, and as soon as the Bright Church was destroyed and we temporarily disappeared, they popped back out."
"Indeed, shameless people are invincible in the world; they should all be killed!"
As his words fell, a fierce killing intent quickly erupted in the temple.
The attendants were all frightened, kneeling on the ground, their bodies trembling.
Fortunately, the killing intent arrived quickly and vanished just as fast.
Hades’s face was equally unpleasant, especially after learning that warriors from the Blood Clan had been ambushed and killed. Her anger entirely erupted!
"You’re right; these people should indeed be killed!"
"Send the order; announce our return immediately!"
"I want to see how many dare to act after knowing we’re back!"
Hades’s icy voice echoed in the temple.
The fact that she spoke so many words at once was enough to prove how angry she was now.
The attendants immediately began to act upon her orders.
Nowadays, the Blood Clan’s information network is spread across Europe, so Hades’s orders can naturally be conveyed throughout Europe almost instantly!
Soon, in less than ten minutes, the news of Xiao Zheng and Hades’s return spread thoroughly!
When this news reached the whole of Europe, it was like igniting a fuse, instantly causing the entire Europe to explode!
The Evil God and Netherworld King have returned!
Upon hearing these two famous titles, everyone felt fearful!
Including the currently fighting Long Qie and others, they quickly received the news. When they heard Xiao Zheng and Hades were still alive, everyone was excited, and their morale soared!
In contrast, the rebellious forces were each showing hopelessness!
Because they know clearly that with Xiao Zheng and Hades returning, their last hope of winning was utterly extinguished!
