Chapter 2042 - 2043: There Are No Ifs in This World

Zeus swiftly intervened, gripping Yang Fei's wrist.

Their gazes collided.

Zeus was filled with dread, while Yang Fei's eyes were bloodshot, exuding murderous intent.

At that moment, a flash of red appeared in Yang Fei's eyes.

Hu Chang!

At Zeus's Realm, the Hu Chang Heart Method was actually ineffective and couldn't affect his mind at all.

Yet, Zeus was already so shaken by Yang Fei's assault that he was disoriented.

At this point, his battle will had crumbled, like a flood on the Yellow River, beyond control.

Therefore, Yang Fei's Hu Chang Heart Method was triggered just at the right moment.

Zeus felt a fierce, indescribable presence directly penetrating his soul, causing his heart to tremble.

Seizing this chance, Yang Fei unleashed the Scale Shock Subsonic Wave.

The silent subsonic wave attacked Zeus's internal organs.

Zeus felt his heart spasm, and his Qi-Blood dispersed.

The Spiritual Origin Qi within him ceased its circulation.

Typically, the Scale Shock and Hu Chang Heart Method wouldn't work against a Spirit Martial Strongman like Zeus.

But now, used together, they greatly weakened Zeus's power.

Yang Fei perceived the sudden weakness in Zeus's arm strength.

Summoning his Divine Might, he thrust the Mithril Dagger, Twilight of the Gods, straight at Zeus's throat.

Zeus cried out, his neck muscles instinctively moving three inches to the left.

Yang Fei's Mithril Dagger sliced deeply into the left side of his neck, the blade emerging from the right, blood splattering everywhere.

Zeus mustered the strength for a punch, hitting Yang Fei in the abdomen.

Yang Fei flew outward like a snapped kite.

Beneath him lay the unfathomable magma pool.

Yang Fei opened his Wind and Fire Wings, halting in mid-air.

Zeus's punch had turned Yang Fei's organs upside down, making his vision flicker and see stars.

Yet he seemed unfazed by the pain, his face twisted, looking at Zeus with a chilling laugh.

"How does it feel?"

As he spoke, he turned his hand, using the blood in his palm to draw a cross on his forehead.

The blood smeared on his face looked exceptionally terrifying.

Yang Fei roared into the void.

"Evil Dragon Brothers, your heroic souls aren't far; let this blood commemorate you."

Zeus clutched his neck, blood spurting through his fingers.

His eyes were filled with horror.

"I can't fathom what you're trying to achieve, all for a few dead ants?"

"You've activated Three-Star Shine; even if you kill me, surely you'll lose your own life."

Yang Fei lowered his head, warmth filling his eyes, his voice growing solemn.

"To you, the Evil Dragon Brothers who died in the Amazon jungle are just ants."

"You can disregard their lives, crush them casually."

Then Yang Fei shouted fiercely.

"But they're my brothers, my comrades. Whoever touches them, I'll fight them to the end, life after life!"

With this, Yang Fei laughed madly, his eyes full of defiance.

"You, including your master, The Queen Mother of the West, treat humans like ants."

"You extract the power of worship from humans to attain your Supreme Divine Position."

"With a mere thought, a flick, you can unleash apocalypse, obliterating these ants' lives."

"But have you ever thought, these ants also have family, brothers."

"We, the Human Race, have the right to live dignified lives; no one can tread on us."

"Whoever dares ride on our heads, whoever wants me dead, I'll send them to hell first!"

Yang Fei's roar carried the Tiger Roar Power, echoing throughout the fire cave, his voice everywhere.

Zeus stared blankly at Yang Fei.

He had been controlled by The Queen Mother of the West since childhood, witnessed her overwhelming Divine Skills.

To him, God Clan controlling the Human Race, extracting the power of worship, seemed natural, since humans were too weak.

But upon hearing Yang Fei, he suddenly realized.

Among the Human Race are such defiant individuals, who fear neither heaven nor Godly Venerable.

Yang Fei gazed deeply at Zeus.

The Underworld's power in the Mithril Dagger was starting to take effect, his face turning blue, and his blood black.

According to legend, the Longinus Spear was also forged from such Mithril.

The spear's death power from the Underworld had killed a Saint.

And Zeus, now, might also be consumed by Underworld's Divine Power.

Zeus felt his body growing weak, his Spiritual Origin Qi seemingly drained.

He stumbled, then collapsed to the ground.

Yang Fei unfolded his Wind and Fire Wings, landing in front of Zeus as exhaustion flooded through him.

The power from Three-Star Shine had been depleted, Yang Fei's meridians nearly ruined by great Spiritual Power.

He staggered and fell to the ground.

The two mortal enemies lay less than two meters apart, facing each other, barely alive.

Zeus watched him dispassionately, his voice weakening.

"I still want to ask, avenging a group of ants, sacrificing your life, is it worth it?"

Yang Fei felt near death from fatigue, his Essence Qi utterly depleted.

He sighed lightly.

"If you had as many good brothers as I do, you wouldn't ask such a question."

Zeus's eyes slowly closed, he too sighed gently.

"If my father lived, I wouldn't be a wanderer."

"He was a General of Huaxia, I'd be born into the Celestial Empire's nobility."

"I'd also have many brothers, precious friendships, even beautiful love."

"I might even become a Super Soldier King like you, dedicated to defending Huaxia, fighting heroically, never retreating."

His tone was filled with yearned admiration.

"Such a life seems so beautiful in hindsight."

Then Zeus's eyes suddenly opened, filled with a needle-like mocking intent.

"But if—only if—this world doesn't entertain 'ifs'."

"The reality is that my father was a traitorous General, bore me with a blonde woman in New York, then inexplicably died in the Great Buddha Cave."

"I was abandoned by the world, not knowing how I survived before age five."

"Until I met God, who told me I ruled this world, would possess eternal life and Heaven-Reaching Earth-Piercing skills."

"Could you imagine my feelings then?"

His expression grew grimmer.

The Underworld's power from Twilight of the Gods had entirely devoured his vitality.

Yang Fei watched Zeus calmly.

"I'm not you, I don't know your thoughts."

"But if I were, I'd surely wonder if these great benefits hid any plots, for in this world there is no such thing as a free lunch."

At this, he smirked coldly.

"You've spent your life avenging your father, but do you know what kind of person he was?"
