Chapter 457-448: A Mortal Body, On Par with the Celestial God It's hard to imagine that within the body of this world-famous mountain, there lies a city, the Western Dark World -Holy City! Its area and scale are comparable to, if not surpassing, international cities like New York, Paris, and the Huaxia Capital City.
The ruler of this city is none other than the first among the twelve Celestial Gods of the Dark World-Divine King Zeus and the Divine Queen Hera.
At the very center of the city, there stands a palace comparable to a royal palace, but strangely, the overall tone of this palace is black and purple, giving it an extremely oppressive feeling.
The Divine King Hall.
In the main hall, on a long chair adorned with many skulls, Zeus, clad in a black robe, shouted this sentence with utter grievance, almost vomiting blood of rage.
He felt as if his blood pressure had shot up, and further development might lead to a brain hemorrhage. "Alright, don't be mad anymore." In his arms, a woman with a diamond ice crystal mask covering her eyes, possessing waterfall-like long snow- white hair and a calm face, extended a jade-like white hand, patting Zeus's back.
The woman exuded a naturally holy aura, as if a fairy had descended to the mortal world.

Because she was the wife of the Divine King-Divine Queen Hera.
Second among the twelve Celestial Gods! "How can I not be angry!" "Look what you've done, you've spoiled your daughter to this extent!" "Because of swild man, she wants to openly break with me, her father!" Zeus not only failed to quell his anger, but it instead surged to the sky.
He was utterly furious.
Divine Queen Hera looked helpless, sighed, and said, "What Lilith said this tis somewhat excessive." "More than excessive? It's simply outrageous, a disgrace!" Zeus slammed the armrest of his chair hard, turning a skull into dust, breathing heavily in anger.
Hera rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just curse a bit to vent, don't get seriously worked up. Besides, it's not the tto be angry now, what we need to think about is how to get Lilith to cancel this concert and return under our protection." "What do you mean?" Sensing an underlying message in Hera's words, Zeus frowned.
"It's the sproposal I made back then. The matter between Lilith and her beloved can't be reversed, perhaps letting them be together..." "Absolutely not!" Before Hera could finish, Zeus interrupted coldly: "This is one thing we absolutely cannot negotiate on. If that kid hadn't run away at the time, I wouldn't be so adamant about separating them. My daughter, Lilith... can't marry a coward." Hera rolled her eyes again, speaking irritably: "You should be grateful that boy was smart and had the ability to escape from you. Otherwise, he would have been dead at your hands by now. If that were the case, your precious daughter would surely have broken entirely with you." Zeus kept a cold face, silent because he knew Hera was right.
Lilith being rescued by that boy, falling for him, and following him was something he was naturally aware of.
According to Diana's report, their daughter spent months with that kid and tried several times to give herself to him, but each tshe was brushed off because of her identity.
This pleased Zeus, even making him consider that if the kid could restrain himself and grow to rank thirteenth in the Celestial God Rankings, he would allow him to marry Lilith.
Who would have thought one day Diana would suddenly lose contact? Zeus was frantic, taking several hours to get in touch with her, learning that Lilith had drugged her with sleeping pills! The most crucial information was that while she was asleep, Lilith was taken by that kid! As a father, Zeus was immediately infuriated, leading the Divine King Guard with him, swearing the kid would pay the price! Upon discovering that the rascal had taken his daughter without making any formal commitment, Zeus didn't hesitate and resolved to kill him on sight.
Who knew that just fifteen minutes before they arrived at the hotel where it all happened, the kid had fled the "crscene." His daughter was taken, yet he, as a father, didn't even see the face of the original offender.
Moreover, that kid had disappeared for so many years, completely vanishing without a trace, clearly having his fill and fleeing without any intention of taking responsibility for Lilith! Zeus was enraged, yet unable to lash out, with anger festering in his heart for years.
Under these circumstances, how could he consider betrothing his daughter to that kid? Seeing Zeus's face grow increasingly dark, Hera, helpless, asked, "Then what do you want? Our daughter has already gone all the way with that boy, can't you just fulfill their wish?" "I would rather let Lilith remain single for her life than allow her to marry a 'coward'." Zeus's face was cold, and his attitude very resolute.
"Then tell me, what's your criterion for a son-in-law? To what extent must that boy grow for you to accept him?" Hera, standing on Lilith's side, sought to probe his thoughts.
Zeus pondered for a while, glanced at her, and said blandly: "Unless that boy possesses the strength and capability on par with the God of Slaughter." "To match the Celestial Gods with a mortal's frame!" "Otherwise, there's nothing to discuss." Hera: "..." She sighed, feeling utterly at a loss.
The God of Slaughter? Unlike others, being the Divine King and Divine Queen, they were acutely aware.
In the battle between the Sun God Apollo and the God of Slaughter, Apollo narrowly lost.
Before the God of Slaughter's sudden emergence, the twelve Celestial Gods held an absolute ruling position in the Western Dark World, never having any defeat. Even the lowest ranked, the Sun God Apollo, boasted an absolutely undefeated record among the twelve Celestial Gods.
The God of Slaughter, with a mortal's frame, shattered the twelve Celestial Gods' undefeated record in the Western Dark World! To possess such capability, aside from that now-reclusive elder of Huaxia, only the current God of Slaughter holds it.
For Lilith's beloved to reach the level of the God of Slaughter is nearly impossible, akin to ascending to the heavens.
What Hera didn't know was that Zeus insisted on such unreachable m standards because absolutely refused to let the boy who had angered him for years bechis son-in-law. The power and capability of the God of Slaughter were not for just anyone.
Especially not for that "soft egg." Zeus shifted the topic, saying solemnly: "The Dragon Gate will never allow the Divine King Guard into Huaxia." "Lilith won't cancel her performance and return to the West; there's only one solution left."
"The God of Slaughter currently resides in Huaxia, contact Apollo, get him to reach out to the God of En.
Slaughter, and protect Lilith." "Our Divine King Hall, owe the God of Slaughter a favor!"
