Chapter 1257 The Choice of Olympus

If you discuss things with the Martial Soul, no one outside can hear you. It's good that they can't hear you, but if the Hou heard you making fun of its low IQ, its mood would be absolutely shattered.

The world before it filled it with a touch of fear, something it had never thought it should be.

Hou knew very well that Lin Yi's simple light-type skill could not possibly cause him any harm. As long as the black mist enveloped his body and the removal effect of the Fuxi Talisman had not yet taken effect, any attack that landed on him would not have any effect.

What was unexpected was that even though Hou was well aware of this, it didn't have much effect.

The information constantly being fed into the brain, even if you know it's garbage, is still taking up the brain's CPU.

The intrusion of this information caused Hou to gradually lose control of its body. It could clearly feel that its connection with its limbs was being gradually severed.

Hou considered disregarding everything and using its near-invincible defense to charge recklessly until it broke out of Lin Yi's skill range.

Unfortunately, his limbs were no longer under his control.

this.
Aside from the Celestial King and the Olympian lineage, many other gods were watching Lin Yi's battle with the Hou.

They could sense the strength of the Hou by looking at the invincible black mist.

In any case, among the high-ranking gods watching the battle, if you ask anyone, there is absolutely none who would dare to fight Hou one-on-one.

When watching others fight, almost everyone subconsciously puts themselves in the shoes of one of the fighters, especially the one who seems to be at a disadvantage.

Anyone with even a slight desire for strength will think about how to survive if they fall into a disadvantageous position, and how to seize an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

All the gods and deities knew that the Immortal King had given the Fuxi Talisman to Lin Yi, and that Lin Yi could use this legendary artifact, the nemesis of the Four Corpse Kings, to repeat the same trick against the Hou.

No one knew how long it would take Lin Yi to remove the black mist, but everyone was certain that it would take a considerable amount of time.

To put it bluntly, how this battle will ultimately unfold depends on how much time Lin Yi can buy. As long as the black mist is removed, Lin Yi will have a chance of winning.

The gods felt their scalps tingle as they took on the mission of this battle upon themselves.

They had witnessed the speed of the Hou's movements, and the force of its attacks was so great that even space could not withstand them. The effect of a slap on their bodies was unimaginable; one slap would almost certainly mean certain death.

Putting themselves in his shoes, they couldn't find any solutions or see any chance of winning. But looking at Lin Yi's current battle, those high-ranking gods who had previously been dissatisfied with Lin Yi's appointment as a priest were now completely obedient.

They really couldn't use such a simple skill to restrict and control such a powerful opponent for a period of time.

It's important to understand that observing a battle and engaging in actual combat are not the same thing.

In actual combat, especially when facing a powerful opponent who can kill you in one blow, you must be extremely focused. The slightest carelessness can cost you your life for your mistake.

In such a tense situation, how many people can calmly think and find the best way to deal with it?

Calling Lin Yi a genius is really an understatement.

There is no better adjective in the world to praise his extraordinary talent.

Of course, Hou was not a useless ancient god.

The feeling of panic and unease lasted only ten minutes.

During those ten minutes, Hou didn't sense Lin Yi attacking it, so it realized Lin Yi's purpose.

After the fear in his heart was completely dispelled, Hou closed his eyes.

Closing your eyes can effectively block useless junk information from entering your brain, and can also quickly remove junk information that has already entered your brain.

It was this simple action that allowed Hou to regain its confidence.

"I knew it, such a simple method couldn't possibly trap that guy."

"Yeah, that guy's perception is so abnormal. Trying to limit its power by blocking its vision is too unrealistic." "Why don't we think of a way to provide remote support? If he successfully defeats Hou, his future will be limitless. If we can get Lin Yi to think well of us, our faction will definitely be able to live quite comfortably in the future."

The Olympian gods began to discuss it.

The potential that Lin Yi displayed truly captivated them.

At this moment, they no longer cared about the Immortal King's feelings and planned to take action directly, determined to win Lin Yi over no matter what.

Zeus listened to the discussion of the other gods, and his mind was also in turmoil.

He knew very well that he was no match for the Celestial King in a one-on-one fight. If the Celestial King intended to settle scores with him regardless of the consequences, the powerful figures of the Olympus faction would probably never have a peaceful day again.

Since the Dark Rising Organization was quelled, the Immortal King's prestige has been successfully restored, and the number of people who attempted to oppose him has decreased significantly since then.

Trying to break off relations with only one faction's strength is like throwing an egg against a rock.

Those who are loyal to him and dare to oppose the Celestial King are not many factions.

The most worthwhile alliance is with Odin's faction.

However, over the past decade, the relationship between the two factions has gradually drifted apart. Whether winning over Odin's faction at this juncture will bring fortune or misfortune remains to be seen.

No, we can't go too far; we have to think of a better way.

As Zeus pondered, his eyes unconsciously drifted to Hera.

Oh right, doesn't Hera have a skill that allows her to lend her power to others?

"Quiet down, don't rush!"

"Zeus said in a deep voice."

"Taking action directly is too hasty. Whether Lin Yi will stand firmly on our side is still a question. After all, the allure of the Fuxi Talisman is considerable. We must be cautious and not make a fool of ourselves by being presumptuous."

Zeus's words make sense.

The twelve Olympian gods, who were initially quite agitated, calmed down considerably after hearing these words.

It is true that Lin Yi visited Olympus Star and expressed his willingness to form an alliance with the Olympus faction.

However, Lin Yi had no reason not to stand with them.

The two are not people with deep feelings for each other, nor are they close relatives. Under such circumstances, how can they be bound together?

Teammates who share common ideals and goals, and are willing to pay the ultimate price for those ideals and goals, are the ones you can rely on.

Either they are the enemy of their enemy.

The reason why two people who would otherwise have no connection can become the most loyal partners is simply because they share a common enemy and are irreconcilably opposed to that enemy.

Lin Yi clearly does not meet any of the above conditions.

It's really not worth gambling everyone's future, or even their lives, for an uncertain future.

“We don’t need to go that far. We can achieve this simply by providing Lin Yi with assistance. What do you think?”

With that, Zeus turned his attention to Hera.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the other gods, he voiced his thoughts.
