Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 149 Why does a father need a reason to beat his son?
"You've become much stronger in the years since I last saw you."

Agares stood with his hands behind his back, slowly walking towards the moonlight, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Moonlight's Adam's apple bobbed, but ultimately no sound came out.

“No need to be nervous.” Agares raised his hand and tapped lightly, making the moonlight within the domain even brighter. “Here, the outside world can neither see nor hear our conversation.”

Yuehui then relaxed, placed her right hand on her chest, and performed a standard Moon Demon Clan salute: "Yuehui greets Father."

Agares nodded gracefully, extending his slender fingers: "Give me the Crown of the War-Berserker Demon God. It will take at least fifty years to re-form such a crown of a demon god."

Moonlight handed over the blood-red crown without hesitation.

At the very moment of the handover, ripples suddenly appeared on the outer edge of the domain—clearly, the ninth-tier powerhouses outside were attacking the domain barrier with all their might.

Agares, however, seemed oblivious, lightly stroking the Crown of the Demon God with his fingertips, and said softly, "His Majesty specially transferred Ananda to Yulong Pass, saying it was a congratulatory gift for your promotion to a titled Demon Hunter Team."

He looked up at Yuehui, "I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle this madman's desperate fighting style."

The attacks from outside the domain grew increasingly fierce, with ripples spreading across the moonlight barrier, yet they did nothing to affect Agares' composure.

“I didn’t expect you to not only defeat him head-on,” Agares said, a hint of admiration in his eyes, “but also cooperate with the Crown Princess to deliver the final blow. His Majesty would be pleased if he knew.”

"Father." His brows furrowed slightly beneath the moonlight mask. "You've come here in person, surely not just to retrieve the Demon God's Crown?"

“Of course.” Agares nodded. “His Majesty asked me to ask you a few questions.”

Yuehui's heart tightened, but she remained calm: "What's the problem?"

"First," Agares's purple eyes gleamed with moonlight, "who has made a pact with Austin Griffin?"

Yuehui's heart skipped a beat, and her back tensed instantly, but she remained calm on the surface: "For the past three years, our Demon Hunter Team has been in seclusion, so we are indeed not very familiar with the outside world."

He paused for a moment, feigning thought, and tentatively asked, "Was this information obtained by the Star Demon God using the Great Prophecy Technique?"

Agares nodded slightly: "Indeed. Vasak cast the Great Prophecy three times in a row, and the results all clearly pointed to the same location in the Holy City."

At this point, a clear look of anger appeared on his stunningly handsome face.

"Humans are truly courting death! How dare they harbor such a monstrous beast capable of destroying an entire plane, and even risk starting a holy war for it!"

(It seems the Star Demon God only sensed the aura of the divine punishment power in the three prophecies, unaware that Austin Griffin had been completely crushed by Master Electrox. The true god of divine punishment is actually me.)

Yuehui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of her mouth under the mask relaxed slightly.

This intelligence is crucial, indicating that the information currently held by the Demon Clan's higher-ups is incomplete.

He must be even more careful and never reveal the truth that he has become the second-generation God of Divine Retribution.

“I see.” Moonbeam replied calmly. “Once I return to the Holy City and complete my title promotion, I will definitely investigate this matter carefully.”

Agares nodded gracefully, his purple eyes gleaming like moonlight. "The second thing," he said, his hands clasped behind his back, his voice deepening, "do you know what humanity's hidden depths are?"

“In Vasak’s prophecy,” Agares said, his eyes flashing, “humanity possesses a terrifying foundation, enough to rival our three previous races.”

Upon hearing this, Moonbeam's heart skipped a beat, and the images of the sixty-three eternal heroes immediately flashed through her mind—

They were all top-tier powerhouses who had experienced the era of the undead calamity, some of whom had even reached the terrifying ninth rank, fifth level.

After a bloody battle with the first generation of powerful demons, he was transformed into an undead creature by chance with the help of a Scroll of the Dead, and still slumbers beneath the Holy Mountain of Knights.

However, only the true high-ranking members of the human race, or more precisely, those who have reached the level of the Temple Master of the Knights Temple, know that humanity still possesses such a hidden ultimate strength that is enough to resist the demon race.

Moonlight shook her head calmly:
"I have never heard of the Temple Alliance having such a foundation. Perhaps I will be able to learn some inside information after I advance to the title-level Demon Hunter Team."

Agares nodded slightly. He hadn't expected to get any crucial information from Moonshine anyway. Suddenly, a crisp cracking sound rang out.

A small crack appeared on Agares's lunar domain, which then spread rapidly like a spider web.

“It seems our conversation must end here.” Agares looked up at the crumbling barrier.

“Father, if we just let things go peacefully like this, it will only arouse suspicion,” Yuehui said in a low voice.

“Indeed.” Agares’s lips curled into a slight smile. “So, you’ll have to make do with this. This will completely dispel any doubts the Temple Alliance may have about you.”

A hint of a smile flashed in his purple eyes. "After all, you're becoming more and more like a father."

"what?!"

Before Moonbeam could finish speaking, Agares' figure had already appeared in front of him like a ghost.

That slender, jade-like hand gently pressed against his chest.

The moment the palm strike touched her body, Yuehui felt her heart suddenly stop.

An extremely cold aura rushed through his meridians and into his internal organs, causing even his soul to tremble.

"Well--!"

The amethyst Qilin armor shattered with a crash, and the thunderous Qilin cried out as it broke free from its possessed state.

Moonlight flew backward like a kite with a broken string, a dark blue palm print clearly visible on its chest.

(Father. Why?)

In his final moments of consciousness, the thought had barely surfaced when his vision was plunged into darkness.

boom! ! !
Agares's territory shattered in an instant.

Just as the crowd outside, who were on high alert, were about to rush in, Yuehui's figure shot out like a cannonball.

Cai'er flashed away, catching the moonlight in mid-air. The terrifying impact sent her flying back a hundred meters, her boots carving two deep furrows in the ground.

"Hmph! You humans have betrayed your faith and launched a sneak attack on my seventh demon god. Today, a life for a life!"

Agares's icy voice echoed across the battlefield, the eerie light of the Moon Pillar casting a chilling shadow over his handsome face.

"Hand over Austin Griffin immediately," he said, his purple eyes flashing with murderous intent, "or my demon army will surely raze the Holy City to the ground!"

Having said that, the Moon Demon Pillar suddenly contracted, and Agares' figure, enveloped in overwhelming demonic energy, retreated rapidly.

Their seemingly hasty retreat appeared to be out of fear of the several ninth-tier experts from Yulong Pass.

"How could this be? Why?"

Cai'er's hands trembled as she held Yuehui, and tears streamed down her face like broken pearls.

She couldn't understand why Agares, as a father, would do such a cruel thing to his own son.

If it was because of the death of the Seventh Demon God, she should be the one who should pay with her life.
"Don't panic! There's still hope!"

Yang Haohan took a step forward, his experienced eyes instantly catching the subtle shift in the palm print on Yuehui's chest—it was only a hair's breadth away from the heart!
"Sacred rain!"

The ninth-tier guardian knight's ultimate healing spell was instantly unleashed, and golden light rained down.

Lu Xi also came to his senses, and the emerald gold spirit furnace on his chest shone brightly, unleashing all sorts of healing magic on Yuehui as if it were free.
