Chapter 1343: Chapter 1323: The Events of the Past—Attack on Hera, Evil Martial Artists!
"Hmm, that’s the best way." Ye Huan’s expression was heavy: "Just as my father-in-law said, the Master of Sequence failed miserably this time, but did not really suffer any major damage. He’s brewing some plan in secret or still has hidden reserves, which I don’t know about. The situation I’m facing, indeed, hasn’t improved much."
"Lord Zeus shares your thoughts, which is why he lectured Miss Diana, and after his lecture, she came to understand and no longer insisted on visiting Huaxia."
"Alright, let’s discuss serious matters."
Diana took another sip of coffee, tucked the loose strands of hair behind her ear, displaying her mature charm, "Was there something very important you needed to discuss by seeking me out this time?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t have asked you to come to Huaxia personally."
Ye Huan did not beat around the bush, his face slightly tense, and asked directly: "Diana, do you know why Queen Hera was seriously ill when she gave birth to Lilith? What caused her to be unable to raise her daughter and had to pass Lilith to you to care for?"
Diana frowned slightly, "Why ask this out of the blue?"
"Nothing much, just curious about what happened back then." Ye Huan casually made up an excuse without going into detail.
"Hmm... This matter was originally top-secret, but as you are the Prince Consort of the Divine King Hall, likely to succeed Lord Zeus as the next Divine King, telling you won’t matter."
Diana finished her hot coffee in one gulp, rested her elbow on the table, fingers interlocked, recalling the past with utmost seriousness: "Ye Huan, regarding this matter, I don’t know the exact details, as I wasn’t present back then. But over the past twenty years, I’ve managed to gather some mysterious insights through hearsay."
"The main reason Lady Hera fell severely ill was due to an attack by a group of strong individuals from Huaxia when she was eight months pregnant."
Diana’s words were shocking.
Ye Huan’s face slightly changed: "Strong individuals from Huaxia? Could it be the Dragon Gate?"
Diana shook her head and spoke even more shockingly: "Not the Dragon Gate, but unknown Evil Martial Artists."
"Reportedly, when Lady Hera was eight months pregnant, she was residing in the Queen’s Palace, peacefully nurturing. Unexpectedly, one day, a group of mysterious strong individuals stealthily entered the area south of the Alps where the Queen’s Palace was located."
"These strong individuals belonged to a very mysterious force, their prowess was formidable, and they silently evaded detection by the guards and Divine Guard around the Queen’s Palace on a night, sneaked into the palace via the rooftop."
"Then, they continued their silent approach, assassinating many Divine Generals and Divine Guards responsible for palace security."
"However, Lady Hera, with her exceptional strength, quickly sensed something was amiss, awakened from her sleep, and as she stepped out of her chamber to check, she encountered the group of eight Initial-Tier Divine King level Evil Martial Artists head-on!"
"Lady Hera’s face changed drastically, she wielded her Mid-Tier Divine King power to fight them! The gap between Mid-Tier and Initial-Tier Divine King is indeed huge, Lady Hera seized the opportunity and successfully took down three of them. Nevertheless, outnumbered and pregnant, fearing harm to the fetus, she dared not deploy full strength in battle."
"Before long, the opponents took turns using Kill Techniques from the Ancient Martial Realm of Huaxia such as Gu Technique, Poison Technique, Evil Technique, Charm Art with not high immediate damage but causing permanent harm!"
"Eventually, Lady Hera fell into a disadvantage, severely injured, bleeding uncontrollably, nearly miscarried. Fortunately, at the critical juncture, Lord Zeus from the Divine King Hall at the top of the Alps heard the commotion, led the Divine Guard team to intervene, using his Extreme Divine King power to repel those five Evil Martial Artists and save Lady Hera from a fatal scenario."
"Still, Lady Hera’s life was preserved, but she was severely injured and afflicted by a strange Forbidden Technique from Huaxia Miaojiang, her life hanging by a thread. She became extremely weak, unable to see sunlight, her lifespan greatly shortened, constantly coughing, suffering from headaches, and even had two strokes. It was under such endless torment that she gave birth to Miss Lilith."
"As soon as Miss Lilith was born, she quickly secluded herself for healing."
"The responsibility of raising Lilith fell to me."
"As for those detestable Evil Martial Artists, except for the dead three, all escaped using bizarre Forbidden Techniques of Huaxia Ancient Martial Arts to transform into purple mist, disappearing in a flash after Lord Zeus appeared and attacked."
Listening to Diana recounting the events of that year, Ye Huan’s brow furrowed deeply.
Evil Martial Artists, a unique force in the Ancient Martial Realm of Huaxia, are ruthless, mastering a series of brutal Ancient Martial Killing Techniques forbidden for young members by major families and forces, causing untold pain, often engaging in robbery and arson without reason. Countless innocents have met gruesome fates at their hands.
Most critically, they lack moral boundaries, even against ordinary people; if displeased, they’ll utilize powerful ancient martial killing techniques to annihilate them.
Moreover, their movements are concealed, appearing out of nowhere, each time accompanied by slaughter and bloodshed!
They constantly face joint purges from major families and forces of the Ancient Martial Realm but still manage to continue their malicious deeds.
Ye Huan knows relatively more about Evil Martial Artists, having heard numerous tales about them from his dog-like master when he was young.
Additionally, during the Ancient Martial Medical Technique competition held every decade in the Ancient Martial Realm of Huaxia, he personally saved the old lady from the Chen Family, who had been attacked by Evil Martial Artists and was severely disabled, tormented by pain caused by forbidden techniques for most of her life, struggling on the verge of a miserable death.
The old lady of the Chen Family was subjected to cruel forbidden techniques of Evil Martial Artists, condemning her to a lifetime of unrest, plagued by illness to the point of wishing for death.
Unexpectedly, Hera’s illness was also caused by forbidden technique attacks from Evil Martial Artists!
Ye Huan recalled visiting Rothschild Island in France last year to propose to Zeus, seeing Hera on the fifth floor of the castle, so weak she laid in bed like a corpse.
That look, immediately clear she was terminally ill, nearing death, her time limited.
Most critically, her condition was far more severe than the Chen Family’s old lady.
Even for Ye Huan...
No, Zeus once took Hera to consult Huaxia’s premier national healer, the world’s most powerful medical practitioner—Disitian, but even as mighty as Disitian, he too was helpless against Hera’s condition.
Disitian stated that only by gathering Huaxia’s seven Ancient Divine Jade and using their power to activate Huaxia’s National Protection Array, enhancing the effect of the "Heaven and Earth Revival Acupuncture Technique," could there be hope to cleanse Hera’s body of evil energy and toxins, aiding her recovery.
It can be seen that the Evil Technique affecting Hera is far more potent than that afflicting the Chen Family’s elderly!
The Evil Martial Artists who attacked Hera certainly had significant backgrounds, not simple!
It’s strange indeed, why would Hera become a target of Evil Martial Artists, especially those so powerful?
Ye Huan was perplexed and just about to inquire.
Diana appeared helpless and said: "I have no idea why Lady Hera harbored enmity with Evil Martial Artists from Huaxia. With my position, I can’t probe such secrets."
