"Ugh... what happened?"
When Jiaren woke up groggily, he kept seeing double images in the world before him.
The extreme strain on his brain and soul had not eased even now.
Even so, he could still vaguely remember some fragments of what had happened before.
The Disobedient God Athena...
She was a powerhouse!
Once he recalled that crucial piece of information, the lingering fear and shock cleared his mind considerably.
He then looked around.
His teammates were sprawled across the ground in varying states of collapse. Only the three core members—Qingchuan, Shion, and Ieyasu—were shakily coming to.
Meanwhile, Athena, who had originally possessed vast divine might, seemed to have lost that crushing, helpless aura.
She had become an ordinary Disobedient God once more and was confronting two people.
One was the captive, who wore the same bewildered expression on his face. The other was a handsome high school student with Glasses.
Once Jiaren sorted out the situation before him, his expression changed drastically, turning utterly grim.
Damn it!
It was the Seventh God Slayer!
Things had truly turned out in the worst possible way!
Their original plan had been to capture the underling alive, quickly interrogate him for information, and then silence him without leaving any traces or evidence behind.
It would not have affected them in the slightest.
But who could have expected that, just as they were about to silence him, Athena, a powerhouse descended from the Upper Realm, would appear and knock them all senseless?
They had failed to eliminate the witness, and now the real target had arrived!
The worst, worst possible outcome.
Not only had they failed to curry favor, they were now highly likely to become enemies!
That left Jiaren hesitating.
Activate the military formation?
Without a doubt, if they activated the military formation
