Pluto's Temple.

The situation suddenly fell into a stalemate.

Qiao Yu was silent.

He knew very well that An Liya and Zuo You, whom he saw now, might not actually be there.

With Hades' ability, he could completely send the two girls to their previous or next lives in the cycle of reincarnation.

In this way, if Qiao Yu wanted to forcibly save them, he would definitely not be faster than Hades.

"Yu-ge, what do we do?" Yang Xiangdi didn't dare continue attacking Hades either, since all his attacks were area-of-effect.

Fear filled Hades' eyes.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he had An Liya and Zuo You as hostages; he was in a dilemma and didn't dare kill either of them!

Hades' situation was like a skinny elementary school student facing three strong middle school students with a shit-smeared mop.

Before that shit-smeared mop hit the middle school students, its deterrent power was comparable to a nuclear weapon, enough to make all three of them afraid to move.

However, that didn't mean the skinny elementary school student could fight the three middle school students.

Because once the shit-smeared mop accidentally hit someone, it would be Reason -100%, Rage +9999%, and Critical Hit +9999%.

The three middle school students would immediately beat up the elementary school student, and might even shove the mop head into his mouth.

Hades was facing a similar scene.

With Zuo You and An Liya in his hands, Qiao Yu and the others didn't dare to move rashly.

But he didn't dare to harm Zuo You and An Liya either, or he would definitely be torn to pieces by the enraged Qiao Yu.

Hades actually wanted to negotiate with Qiao Yu now.

But knowing Qiao Yu, he was afraid that Qiao Yu would break his oath the moment after making it and tear him apart.

A guy who didn't even care about the will of the Heavenly Dao, how could you expect him to keep his promises?

Hades desperately thought of a solution.

On the other side, Qiao Yu and the others didn't know what to do either. After all, no one wanted to be hit by a shit-smeared mop—ah, no, no one wanted to see Zuo You or An Liya meet with misfortune.

"Hades, what exactly do you want?" In the end, Qiao Yu took the initiative to break the silence.

Hades took a deep breath, his expression becoming serious.

"My request is simple, Qiao Yu. Abandon the Law of Strength, ignite the Divine Flame of any other Law. Then, I will return these two women to you, and we'll leave each other alone. How about it?"

Hades knew very well that as long as Qiao Yu didn't have the Law of Strength, no matter which other Law he ignited, he wouldn't have the ability to kill him.

As the master of the Law of Reincarnation, even if he couldn't win, he could escape into the River of Reincarnation. Who could kill him then?

Hades thought for a long time and decided that there was only one solution: Qiao Yu couldn't have the ability to kill him, otherwise Qiao Yu would definitely not let him go.

"What if I say no?" Qiao Yu said coldly.

"Then I'll have to take these two women down with me!"

A fierce look flashed across Hades' face. He knew Qiao Yu too well; he couldn't trust a single word that guy said. Whoever trusted him would die.

The Law of Strength began to surge on Qiao Yu's body.

Hades was shocked.

"Qiao Yu! Don't mess around! You know very well that even if you force it, you can only save one person at most. The other one will still have to die with me."

The power on Qiao Yu's body slowly subsided, and hesitation began to appear in his eyes.

Hades was right. With his current power, it was impossible to save both An Liya and Zuo You at the same time.

"Qiao Yu… you don't have to worry about me. I should have died when I was hit by the Annihilation Soul Curse. Being able to live this long, meet Zuo You as a friend, and see you again, An Liya is already very happy." An Liya smiled at Qiao Yu.

"Qiao Yu! Don't listen to her! Just save her! I was already prepared for the sacrifice anyway!" Zuo You also advised Qiao Yu. "And… Qiao Yu!"

Zuo You's gaze became firm.

"An Liya is a good girl, but I don't want to share your love with any woman! So, death is the best result for me. If I die, I will always be the white moonlight in your heart, and you will remember me for the rest of your life. Qiao Yu, save her!"

"No! Zuo You, I didn't mean to compete with you for Qiao Yu. You two are a match made in heaven. If Qiao Yu saves you, it will be the most perfect ending!" An Liya hurriedly explained.

An Liya and Zuo You both had their own pride in their hearts.

They didn't want Qiao Yu to save them.

Because if that happened, the other person who died would definitely become an unforgettable presence in Qiao Yu's heart forever.

How could the living compete with the dead?

"Shut up!"

Hades shouted, directly cutting off the sound from the two women.

He was really afraid that Qiao Yu would listen to one of their words and then directly save one of them and kill him.

"Qiao Yu! Have you thought about it? This doesn't actually mean any loss to you!"

"Even without relying on the Law of Strength, you will definitely be able to step into the realm of the Supreme God. The Supreme God is already a realm admired and envied by countless people!"

Qiao Yu raised his eyes, his blue-golden eyes full of indifference.

"Okay, I promise you. I'll dispel the Law of Strength now."

"Yu-ge! No, if you dispel the Law of Strength now, you'll immediately be backlashed by the will of the heavens and earth!" Yang Xiangdi hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Yes, Qiao Yu, and you've already been targeted by the will of the heavens and earth. It will definitely be as difficult as ascending to the sky to comprehend the power of the Law again!" Ma Fei also frowned.

An Liya and Zuo You shook their heads repeatedly.

Qiao Yu, however, revealed a smile, a smile full of unrestraint.

"The reason I need strength is to protect the people I want to protect. If my strength can't protect the people I want to protect, then what's the use of this strength?"

"There's no need to persuade me anymore, my mind is made up!"

Qiao Yu waved his hand, and then he began to circulate his power.

The Divine Flame of the Law on his divine sense began to dim little by little.

Seeing this, Hades' heart, which was in his throat, finally relaxed.

Without the Law of Strength, Qiao Yu's dream of killing him was nothing but wishful thinking.

But just as he thought this, he discovered that the Divine Flame of the Law on Qiao Yu's divine sense, which was originally slowly dimming, had actually begun to burn vigorously!

"Qiao Yu!"

Hades roared.

"Do you really think I don't dare to kill? In that case, don't blame me!"

Hades was about to kill, but he didn't see any panic on the faces of Qiao Yu and the others.

On the contrary, Qiao Yu smiled and asked him.

"Hades, take a look behind you. Where are the people?"

Hearing this, Hades turned his head abruptly, only to find that Zuo You and An Liya had long disappeared without a trace.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Hades' forehead.

How was this possible? Who on earth could have silently taken two people away right under his nose? This was simply a fantasy!

"Hello, hello, Hades, look over here."

A gentle man in a suit and leather shoes, holding a cup of coffee, waved to Hades, while Zuo You and An Liya were by his side.

"Actually, I'm not just good at stealing things. I'm also very good at stealing people!"
