Chapter 480: Reckoning! The Phoenix's Agony

Time passed.

Not knowing whether ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years had gone by.

Looking at the Goddess of Misfortune on the ground - disheveled, bleeding from all seven orifices, completely mad and collapsed.

Only then did Lin Tian stop.

He began using time reversal.

"Whoosh!"

Everything returned to how it was just moments before. The Goddess of Misfortune was stunned, her clouded eyes gradually becoming clear.

But immediately after, she clutched her head and screamed!

This miserable cry was more terrifying than if her entire family had died!

"No! Don't do this anymore! Please spare me!!!"

The next second, she collapsed on the spot!

Just the memory of what had happened was enough to drive her insane.

This time, Lin Tian hadn't even done anything yet.

Then he restored the stopped time around them.

To everyone's perception, it was like the blink of an eye, without any concept of duration.

But the scene before their eyes left them stunned for a long time!

Their eyes nearly popped out in disbelief!

They saw the Goddess of Misfortune in front of Lin Tian acting like an idiot, grinning foolishly.

Drooling, completely simple-minded, she suddenly pounced on the dirty mud and ate it, rolling around like a fat pig in a pigsty.

Her clean body contrasted sharply with her corrupted and collapsed soul.

The visual and mental impact left everyone unable to calm down for a long time!

Along with their shock came intense unease and fear!

Because all of this was caused by Lin Tian without their knowledge. Such terrifying methods naturally inspired dread.

"Big Sister, let's lock this guy up for now. She might be useful later."

Lin Tian said, looking at the Goddess of Misfortune on the ground like she was trash.

Killing her seemed too merciful. Later, he'd have the Old God Xi come and strip away her divine essence.

Then throw her in the city as a mascot.

Crawling on her knees through the streets every day - who knows what would happen.

Maybe she could even become a scenic attraction.

Immediately after.

Lin Tian suddenly turned to look at the other ancient gods.

"Thud!"

Just this one glance was enough to scare them out of their wits!

They all frantically knelt and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"Spare us! I'm willing to do anything, please don't treat me like that!"

"I can also offer everything!"

"Even if you kill me, please just kill me directly!"

The ancient gods were shaking so hard they nearly shed their scales.

The scene of the Goddess of Misfortune's miserable screams followed by her immediate madness was deeply carved into their souls!

They simply couldn't forget it.

Lin Tian opened his system to scan these guys.

Basically, they were all ordinary ancient gods - none possessed supreme power anymore.

He then ordered, "Whoever has grudges, go ahead and act. Do whatever you want. If they resist, they'll end up like the Goddess of Misfortune..."

In an instant.

The people in Soldier City were filled with rage.

"That Oriel guy bombarded me with magic cannons earlier. I want to stuff cannonballs up his ass and then detonate them!"

"Hehehe, boss is so good to us. I want to thoroughly educate that arrogant goddess!"

"I want to grind their bones to dust!!!"

Everyone stepped forward, rolling up their sleeves.

One-Eyed Owl tossed aside the job of imprisoning the Goddess of Misfortune, "Leave it to you all. I want to knock out all of Phoenix's teeth!!"

The wounds on her and Alice's bodies were burns caused by Phoenix.

They still hurt.

Naturally, she couldn't swallow this grievance.

At this moment.

Luo Ai'er hurriedly ran out and said, "Wait, Elizabeth Your Highness, could you spare Phoenix? She..."

Among the kneeling ancient gods, a goddess wearing red silk and exquisite armor with a full head of red hair looked deeply moved.

She spoke with difficulty, "Luo Ai'er, forget it. All of this was caused by me. Don't let me damage the feelings between you all."

"But why did you do this? There must be a reason, right? We used to have such good feelings for each other, and there's also Lady Xiya! You couldn't bear to hurt Lady Xiya either, right!"

Luo Ai'er said frantically.

During the previous battle, Phoenix had even protected Goblin Moon multiple times, preventing attacks from other ancient gods.

Hearing this.

Lin Tian also said coldly, "Phoenix? I know you. I'll give you a chance to explain - why did you become the Goddess of Misfortune's lackey?"

Phoenix was stunned.

She answered respectfully with a face full of gratitude, "Noble sir, I saw that the Goddess of Misfortune was powerful, and before you appeared, Luo Ai'er's side stood no chance at all. So I could only join their side, hoping to save Luo Ai'er and Xiya's lives in the most critical moment..."

"Then why did you attack me and Alice and the others so viciously! We didn't have any hostility toward you at first!"

One-Eyed Owl cursed as she spoke.

Phoenix looked helpless, "Your Highness, I'm sorry. The reason I attacked you was to inflict burn injuries so you couldn't fight, and perhaps you would consider fleeing to avoid being killed by the Goddess of Misfortune and other ancient gods..."

Hearing this explanation.

One-Eyed Owl suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, "That... actually makes sense..."

Because while these burns were painful, they weren't fatal - they just severely affected combat ability.

"I see... Thank you."

Alice's voice came from nearby.

She bowed solemnly.

To show her respect.
