Because the originally withered and dying Tree of Life gradually regained some vitality, but there was more blood color on the upper and lower parts of the trunk. Although the color was not dark, it was very conspicuous.

"What are you doing!" Anxia guessed what her sisters were doing, but she couldn't believe it. "Where did you take those humans?"

Calypso grinned and said, "Of course, they will be sacrificed to the Tree of Life. Their lives will replenish the Tree of Life with vital magic power. You should be very clear about this, Anthea. Don't you love reading? Haven't you learned this knowledge?"

Anthea quickly turned her head to look at Hespera, hoping that she would give the opposite answer. As far as she knew, Hespera was not a bloodthirsty person.

But she was destined to be disappointed. Hespera's expression was calm and her tone was also calm: "Anxi, this is war, not playing house. There is no room for mercy."

"No, it shouldn't be like this, I don't agree!"

No one expected that Anxia, who had never had her own opinion and only agreed with her sisters, would actually loudly oppose them at this time.

Facing the gazes from Hespera and Calypso, Anthea bravely stepped forward and said, "This is wrong. You can't take the lives of innocent people at will!"

Chapter 578 Infighting

Dane and the other two were a little surprised by Anxia's words.

"I have to admit, I'm a little surprised." Diana said in surprise, but when entering the Lesser God Realm, Anxia was inconspicuous at all. She didn't expect that she could be so courageous.

"This can also be considered as a growth for her." Dane felt a little emotional. He thought of Anthea in the original world, who also had a kind heart and was willing to turn against her sisters for the sake of humanity.

Thousands of years of sisterhood is ultimately not as valuable as a few short days of life on earth.

Hearing Anthea's words, Hespera's beautiful face suddenly became cloudy, which made Anthea a little scared.

"Do you know what you're saying, Anthea?" Hespera's eyes were like sharp swords, piercing Anthea's body. "Humans are - our enemies!"

Since the Twilight of the Gods, humans no longer believe in gods as they did in the past, but instead frequently commit blasphemous acts.

What about King Zhou writing obscene poems to Nuwa? Westerners even beat statues of goddesses... In an era when faith hadn't completely dissipated, such blasphemous acts were often broadcast live through the temple to Hespera's mind, making her feel disgusted.

Therefore, she had a very bad impression of humans, thinking that they were worse than hairy monkeys. With this prejudice, she naturally felt no guilt about sacrificing humans and would not have the slightest mercy.

She pointed at Anxia and emphasized, "Anxia, you are a god, you should know your place!"

The gods of Olympus were never the patron saints of mankind. Most of the time they were willful bastards. As the eldest of the three sisters, Hespera inherited the customs of the gods very well and even developed them further.

But Anthea is different. She is the youngest and the youngest. Although she does not have much contact with humans, she likes reading very much. As we all know, gods are immortal, so they are not interested in things like passing on knowledge.

Therefore, all the books Anthea saw were written by humans without exception. There was a period of prosperity in literature and art in Greek history. The books and knowledge left behind at that time were the crystallization of civilization and can be regarded as the most essential part of human history.

Anxia, who has been influenced by human culture for a long time, has a very good impression of humans even though she does not have much contact with them.

Most gods admire the strong, but Anthea sympathizes more with the weak and recognizes the virtue of using the strong to support the weak.

Dane guessed that she must have read nonsense like "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility" and was brainwashed by it, otherwise she would not have broken up with her sisters who had been friends for thousands of years.

Anxia said in a resounding voice: "We are gods. Humans believe in us, so we have an obligation to protect them!"

Calypso thought she was a lunatic and was too lazy to pay any more attention to her. When Hespera was not paying attention, she secretly intercepted some of the offerings to the Tree of Life to restore her own strength.

Almost all gods have experienced the barbaric era of human blood sacrifice, and Calypso is no exception.

Blood sacrifice is different from faith sacrifice. It does not require humans to believe in gods. It only requires the sacrifice to fear her, and she can absorb the sacrifice's vitality.

Mictlantcutli, the god of death who was killed by Dane in the basement of the slaughterhouse, survived by performing a blood sacrifice.

Although this method of blood sacrifice is not as restricted as the power of faith, it is also far less effective than human faith sacrifice in replenishing divine power.

But now, this method is undoubtedly the most suitable way for Calypso to restore her strength.

In just a few minutes, the wrinkles on Calypso's face disappeared rapidly, and her youthful appearance was restored at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, Hespera no longer wanted to argue with her foolish sister. "Since you have such thoughts, then before we enslave all humans, you should just stay aside and don't interfere with our work!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand, as if she wanted to activate her ability.

But Anxia had already made preparations. Although the Axis Force was not strong in other aspects, its activation speed was the fastest in the God Realm, and it was very suitable for escaping or transferring targets.

Hespera saw the space around her suddenly change. Except for the small space under her feet, the surrounding scenery was spinning rapidly like a turntable. She immediately withdrew her hand.

If she were to bump into something, the object's huge inertia could easily hurt her. Although Axis Force was not a skill that was good at combat, it did not mean that it could not be used in combat at all.

Anyway, as long as you stay still, you won't get hurt.

When the surrounding scenery stopped, Hespera and Calypso found that they had arrived in a completely unfamiliar land.

Asking for flowers

Seeing Calypso's youthful appearance, Hespera immediately guessed that she had secretly intercepted some of the human blood supply to the Tree of Life for a blood sacrifice. She couldn't help but frowned: "Calypso, I told you before, don't easily get stained with human blood. It will do you no good."

Gods cannot wantonly slaughter humans. This is a divine law set by Zeus after he destroyed the world with a flood. It is said that the outbreak of Ragnarok was not unrelated to Zeus's reckless behavior. When he was carrying out the destruction of the world, Zeus actually regretted it a little, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.

After the destruction of the world, new humans were reborn, but their faith in the gods became weaker and weaker, and the gods also began to become weak.

In order to restore human trust in God, Zeus set a decree that no one should be killed indiscriminately. As a result, the gods began to restrain themselves, but only a little. In order to keep humans in awe, Zeus also tacitly allowed that the majesty of God could be promoted by instructing agents (that is, messengers of God) to wage wars.

Hespera heard Father God say that if God frequently killed innocent humans, his own divinity would be negatively affected, but as long as he did not kill them with his own hands, there would be no big problem.

"I didn't do it." Calypso laughed and didn't take the matter seriously.

You didn't do it yourself, but you absorbed the vitality of those humans into your own body. What's the difference between this and doing it yourself?

Hespera shook her head. She knew Calypso had her own little thoughts. She tried to persuade her once, but when she saw that she didn't listen, she gave up.

She was actually somewhat curious about the consequences that Father God had mentioned and wanted to see what negative results there might be.

"Where did Anxi throw us?" A thousand years have passed, and Hespera no longer recognizes this world.

"Ladon is still there." Calypso thought thoughtfully.

"It won't hurt Anxi, and Ladon needs to protect the Tree of Life now." Hespera shook her head.

It has become Ladon's instinct to protect the golden apple tree. As long as Anxia does not touch the tree of life, Ladon will not hurt her.

"I have another way." Calypso put on a playful smile and began to remotely control the power soil around Anthea through the power of chaos.

Chapter 579 The military enters the scene

After moving her sisters far away, Anthea immediately looked at Ladon warily.

Fortunately, without Calypso's close influence, Ladon was not very interested in Anthea. His huge body was entangled with the Tree of Life, as if he could guard the tree forever.

This made Anxia breathe a sigh of relief.

But there are still many things to come. The monsters spawned by the Tree of Life need to be dealt with, and the Tree of Life itself also needs to be dealt with. The Tree of Life can grow so big in an instant, but there is a price to pay.

Before planting the golden apple, Hespera concentrated all the land resources of the city of Philadelphia here to nourish the Tree of Life, which made it difficult for thriving trees to grow on the land of Philadelphia for many years to come.

Anxia carefully moved away from Ladon and found a slightly safer corner. Then she closed her eyes and carefully felt the spatial layout of the entire city.

She wanted to try to divert the monsters that were wreaking havoc in the city.

Since she had the Axis Power, Anxia had never tried to transfer so many targets at once, and they were scattered. Now her divine power had not yet fully recovered, so it was very difficult for her to do this.

But she didn't know that danger was approaching.

Anthea only transferred the two goddesses to another place, but forgot about the two servants she had subdued.

Just as Anthea closed her eyes and felt the axis force, the ground suddenly shook violently. She hurriedly looked behind her and found that it was Shazam in a white cloak falling from the sky.

He had been ordered to be on guard in the sky, but at this moment, Calypso activated the spell that had been set up in his body in advance, and he was being remotely controlled by her.

"Anxi, my dear sister, why do you disobey your sister for a group of mortals you don't even know?" Shazam uttered Calypso's words.

"Calypso..." Although Anxia had dared to resist her sisters before, that was because she relied on surprise attacks. The sisters knew each other's abilities very well, and once they were prepared, it would be difficult for their skills to be effective.

"Anxi, it's not too late to send us back now. Hespera and I can forgive you for what you did..."

Shazam's face showed a green tea expression that only women have, which made Dane in the dark want to laugh.

But at this moment, Shazam suddenly attacked without warning.

A beam of lightning shot out from his fingertips and came in front of Anxia in the blink of an eye, about to hit her.

Fortunately, Anthea remained vigilant and almost instinctively used the axial force to push Shazam away, but the speed of lightning was extremely fast and the extension distance was very far.

Anthea had sent Shazam thousands of kilometers away in a second, but the tip of the lightning still stuck a few inches in front of her, making her sweat on her forehead.

Although she tried her best, the final result was that she was caught up by Thunder and hit by him.

But fortunately, the distance was far enough and the remaining power of the lightning was very weak, so Anxia was only slightly paralyzed after taking the blow and was not seriously injured.

Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, a creepy feeling came over her. Danger was coming from behind, but her body was still stiff and she couldn't react at all.

Dane and the other two saw clearly that behind Anthea, Artemis held the axe with both hands and chopped down with force. If this blow was successful, even Anthea would be cut in half in an instant!

Dane was a little shocked. Calypso was a very cruel woman. She even killed her own sister like this.

Perhaps God’s view of life and death is completely different from that of mortals, and death is just going home.

But Dane didn't want to let her have her way. He flicked his fingers lightly, and an invisible force pulled Anthea a few inches to the side. The blade of the giant axe passed by her and cut a huge gap in the ground.

With these few seconds of buffer, Anthea's body recovered quickly. She pushed with both hands and instantly pushed Artemis away.

However, in just a few seconds, Shazam had returned with his super speed, and started releasing lightning at Anthea from far away in the sky.

This time Anxia learned her lesson. She no longer targeted Shazam himself, but waved her hand and moved the surrounding buildings in front of her to block Shazam's lightning for her, and also to block Shazam at the same time.

The surrounding tall buildings were moved in front of Anxia like walking on the Huarong Road, becoming her shield.

Calypso used Shazam's iron body to smash the building directly, still diving towards Anthea, and at the same time shouted to Ladon: "Ladon, catch her!"

Ladon still listened to Calypso's words. Although it was unknown how it did it, it easily determined that Shazam was Calypso, and glared at Anthea as she said...

The moment their eyes met, Anxia felt as if her heart was being pinched by an invisible hand. Fear instantly occupied her heart, and the operation of the axis force was instantly cut off.

The next second, Shazam was in front of Anthea, grabbed her neck with one hand and lifted her up high.

At the same time, the power of chaos spread to Anthea through Shazam's hand, instantly controlling her body and mind.

"Bring us back!"

Anthea's eyes turned completely black, and she moved her hands, activating the axis force again and bringing Calypso and Hespera back.

As soon as she came back, Calypso drew her short blades with both hands. She was ready to kill the traitor first. She didn't look like sisters at all, but like enemies.

"What are you doing? Put her down!" Hespera scolded, then frowned at Anthea, "Just control her. Anthea's ability is what we need."

Apart from anything else, the Axis Force is a very useful ability when transporting large armies over long distances, and once Anxia's divine power is fully restored, the Axis Force can be even more powerful.

Calypso put down the dagger in disappointment, but she still didn't dare to refuse Hespera's opinion.

At this time, human fighter jets finally appeared in the sky of Philadelphia. A flight formation flew at a low altitude, and the huge noise made the ears of the goddesses and Ladon buzz.

Immediately after 4.1, several missiles flew out from under the fighter plane and flew towards the Tree of Life along a trajectory.

Ladong came to his senses instantly and said, "How dare you hit my tree!"

It roared at the missile and exhaled a breath of dragon. The missile exploded in mid-air. The huge explosion broke off one of Ladon's horns. After all, this was not its real body and was not as indestructible as its original dragon body.

However, with the support of the Tree of Life, the broken part was quickly repaired at a very fast speed, and the fighter took the opportunity to fly over Ladon's head.

It was the first time that he was beaten so badly. Ladon roared at the group of fighter jets flying past, flapped his wings, and took off into the air, chasing in the direction of the fighter jets.

But at this time, a pair of fighter jets flew over from another direction, and their target was still the Tree of Life.

The two goddesses' expressions changed drastically.

Chapter 580 Human Power

"Their target is the Tree of Life!"

For two consecutive times, the fighter jets came towards the Tree of Life. Hespera had no idea that they were targeting this tree.

As long as the Tree of Life is destroyed, the monsters born from it will be reduced to ashes, and Hespera's plan to conquer the world will be aborted.

"Stop them!" Hespera shouted, and the power of nature circulated between her hands, raising a transparent protective barrier around the Tree of Life, blocking several missiles for it.

But then, the fighter planes whizzing past launched missiles at the goddesses. Hespera had no choice but to put shields on herself and Calypso to prevent them from being penetrated.

However, the artillery on the fighter planes was like raindrops, covering them all at once, making the two goddesses unable to raise their heads.

Calypso hid behind the shield and activated the power of chaos, controlling Shazam to fly towards the fighter jets and directly destroy them.

He was like the Kryptonian in Man of Steel that Dane had seen, disassembling the fighter plane like Lego blocks, but there was no one inside, not even a cockpit.

But that's not all. There are more fighter planes flying from the 22nd sky. Dane discovered that these fighter planes are all drones, but they are much more agile than ordinary unmanned fighter planes, and their size is not much different from manned fighter planes.
