"En!"
Ye Feng nodded. "Not just Poseidon, the other six of the Seven Archdemons are also vestiges of six main gods. Their other halves..."
"Ares's other half is Samael, the King of Wrath. Hera's other half is Asmodeus, the King of Lust. Apollo's other half is Mammon, the King of Greed. Hades's other half is Lucifer, the King of Pride. Poseidon's other half is Beelzebub, the King of Gluttony. Cynthia's other half is Leviathan, the King of Envy. Hermes's other half is Belial, the King of Sloth!"
"In the City Without Sin, Asmodeus, Lucifer, and Belial were already devoured by their corresponding main gods... to the point where not even bones were left."
"Samael and Leviathan escaped, but judging from the reactions of Asmodeus and Belial in the City Without Sin, they definitely won't be able to escape either... and Mammon, who wasn't in the City Without Sin at the time, is probably no exception."
Ye Feng quickly explained to Yue Yan and Yue Feixue.
"Can't escape? What do you mean? The Seven Archdemons are not ordinary demons, they are very strong!"
Yue Yan looked at Ye Feng with confusion.
"I'm not very clear about the specifics... At that time, Hera and Hermes took action, and Asmodeus and Belial had almost no power to resist..."
"I speculate it might have something to do with the Seven Archdemons being the other halves of the gods..."
"By the way, the 'Prophet' of the Dark Holy Cult is Hera, and that Colegi is Hermes..."
"Back then in the City Without Sin..."
Ye Feng quickly recounted what he and the others had encountered in the City Without Sin.
...
After a while, Yue Yan, Yue Feixue, and Bing finally understood what Ye Feng and Xiaoxiao had gone through.
"Half of the power of the Twelve Main Gods is actually the Seven Archdemons... The gods always proclaimed themselves to be on the side of justice... and mortal enemies of demons... It's outrageous!"
Yue Yan frowned slightly and murmured.
"Yue Yan, Feixue, is what Beelzebub said about the 'Final Judgment Day' true?"
Perhaps it was due to Beelzebub's identity as one of the Seven Archdemons, Ye Feng had a sliver of doubt about the information regarding the "Final Judgment Day"... Of course, it was more because of the last words Beelzebub had said before leaving...
Yue Yan and Yue Feixue did not answer immediately. Instead, they frowned and fell into thought.
After a while, Yue Yan slowly said, "'The Final Judgment Day'... I don't know much about it either. I only know that when that day arrives... the whole world will once again be plunged into endless darkness... Only the Lamp of Creation can lead humanity out of that endless darkness!"
"This is also why countless powerful humans are pursuing the Lamp of Creation!"
Yue Feixue added, "Judging by Beelzebub's demeanor and the dark zones appearing all over the world... what he said should be true..."
"Is that so... I really wish that guy was lying to me..."
Hearing Yue Yan and Yue Feixue's words, Ye Feng sighed deeply, his expression somewhat dejected, and a hint of panic in the depths of his eyes.
"Ye Feng, what... what's wrong?"
Yue Yan, being very perceptive, caught this and looked at Ye Feng with concern. Yue Feixue also knitted her brows tightly.
"I'm fine!"
Ye Feng shook his head gently and did not explain.
"By the way, Yue Yan, why did Poseidon come to the City of Arcana? Was it purely to slaughter the City of Arcana?"
After a pause, Ye Feng spoke again.
"Sister Yue Yan, where is Sister Shuang?"
Before Yue Yan could answer, Xiaoxiao, who had just run off to wander around, chimed in, her tone somewhat anxious.
During the day, she had followed Yue Feixue around the new City of Arcana, but she never saw Shuang.
Xiaoxiao had originally thought Shuang was here, but she had looked for her and couldn't find her.
Hearing Xiaoxiao's words, Ye Feng also looked at Yue Yan with a questioning gaze. In the afternoon, he had asked Yue Feixue about Shuang, but she hadn't answered directly.
"Shuang... she was captured by Poseidon!"
Under Ye Feng and Xiaoxiao's watchful eyes, Yue Yan slowly spoke.
"It's because of me... that Shuang was captured!"
At this moment, Bing, who had basically dissolved the medicinal effects of the nectar, opened her eyes and spoke.
"What? What happened?"
Ye Feng's brows furrowed tightly.
"The reason Poseidon attacked the City of Arcana was to obtain Bing... I speculate it's because Bing previously reacted to Hera's Golden Apple branch..."
"Although Hera devoured Asmodeus, she might still need Bing's power!"
"So Poseidon launched an attack on the City of Arcana... The situation was extremely urgent at the time... Shuang voluntarily deactivated her Invisibility Talisman and walked out... and was captured by Poseidon. Because Poseidon had declared that if Bing was captured, everyone else would be spared..."
Yue Yan took a deep breath and slowly explained.
"The strength Poseidon displayed at that time was too terrifying... terrifying to the point of despair..."
"Apart from Shui Ling, Jiang Si Shan, and others... the vast majority of the humans in the City of Arcana, including a large portion of the city guards, felt that Bing should be handed over..."
"At first, they only said it in whispers, but later they became openly clamoring, cursing, and threatening. They said all sorts of ugly things... It was as if Bing was the culprit behind their ruin and precarious lives, not Poseidon, the instigator..."
"At that time, Bing also wanted to go out and exchange herself for the peace of the City of Arcana, but I stopped her... I didn't expect Shuang to step out voluntarily... saying that she was Bing..."
Yue Yan paused here. "It's ridiculous... Just when those people in the City of Arcana thought Poseidon would let them go after capturing Bing, Poseidon directly gave the order to slaughter the city, and countless sea monsters swept in..."
"Then it was my, Feixue's, and others' bitter fight against Poseidon... During the battle, Beelzebub somehow severely wounded Poseidon..."
"I also took the opportunity to throw out a Celestial Ranking special item to divert Poseidon's attention... and then used the Invisibility Talisman you gave me to disappear."
"Poseidon had already captured Bing, and he himself was heavily injured. Moreover, he was very interested in the Celestial Ranking special item, so he left..."
Yue Yan quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"Is that so... No wonder on the way here, the people we met in the desert storm had maps made from Celestial Ranking special items..."
Hearing this, Ye Feng suddenly understood.
"Then... Yue Yan, since Poseidon is so powerful, why didn't you retreat? What if he made a surprise return, the situation would be extremely dire!"
After a pause, Ye Feng spoke again.
