He remained as composed as ever, with a faint, relaxed smile on his face, as if he had resolved some trouble.
His robes were not even slightly disheveled.
And following half a step or so behind him, slowly walking out, was none other than Luo Hao!
Her face was still somewhat pale, but compared to her previous deathly stillness, it had become more lively.
Her magnificent palace dress was meticulously arranged, and her silver hair was neatly styled. Apart from the weariness and complex expression between her brows that were difficult to completely conceal, it was almost impossible to tell that she had recently experienced a life-and-death ordeal.
However, what shocked everyone outside the cave, especially Lu Yinghua, the most was not his master's resurrected state, but her posture!
She wasn't forced to come out, nor was she carrying a resolute determination to die rather than submit. She simply followed quietly beside Genichi Hanyu, still maintaining her innate pride, but without the tense, life-or-death hostility she had shown before.
There was even an unspoken sense of tacit agreement and compliance?
This subtle change might not be noticeable to Erica and others, but for Lu Yinghua, who had been raised by Luo Hao since childhood and was extremely familiar with his every word and action, it was like an earthquake!
"master!"
Lu Yinghua rushed forward immediately, his voice filled with urgency and worry. His eyes swept over Luo Hao, as if trying to confirm whether she was alright and whether she had been coerced or controlled in any way.
When Luo Hao saw the disciples rushing over, a complex emotion flashed in his clear, cold phoenix eyes—a mixture of relief, helplessness, and a hint of awkwardness that was hard to express.
She raised her hand and waved it gently, interrupting the series of questions that Lu Yinghua was about to blurt out.
Her gaze swept across the entire room, finally settling back on Lu Yinghua. Her voice, though still weak, was crystal clear, carrying an undeniable resolve: "Ying'er, no need for further words, your master is well."
She paused, as if making a decision, and then, in a tone that declared a fait accompli, uttered the words that instantly petrified Lu Yinghua and even Erica and the others who were listening intently:
"From this day forward, Genichi Hanyu will be your grandmaster. Treat him as you would your own teacher, and show him the respect due to a senior. Do not be negligent or disrespectful in any way. This is your master's command, and you must not disobey it!"
"..."
silence!
Deathly silence!
It was as if even the wind had stopped moving, and the air had completely frozen!
Lu Yinghua was completely frozen in place, as if struck directly on the top of his head by a bolt of lightning from the heavens!
His expression froze instantly, his eyes widened like saucers, his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg, and his mind went blank, completely unable to process the information he was receiving!
Master?
That god-slayer?
That demon king?
Genichi Hanyu, who was denounced as a barbarian by his master and refused to submit even at the cost of his life.
Now he's become his grandmaster?
How can this be? !
Lu Yinghua was fully aware of and deeply understood how much his master loathed and despised the barbarians!
That is a sense of cultural superiority and national pride ingrained in our bones, a principle that can never be easily shaken!
But to my surprise, my master not only accepted the other party, but also acknowledged the other party's close relationship with him?
Why would he even treat his disciple with the respect due to an elder?
absurd!
This is so absurd that it's beyond Lu Yinghua's comprehension!
The first thought that popped into Lu Yinghua's mind was that it was fake, it must be fake!
Either you're hallucinating, or your master is being controlled!
Hypnotized!
Or perhaps his mind has been manipulated by some evil spell!
Otherwise, given Master's unyielding character and his disdain for barbarians, how could he possibly submit to a barbarian and make such an incomprehensible decision?!
"Master, have you been controlled by this barbarian using some kind of evil magic? Wake up!"
Lu Yinghua's eyes turned red with anxiety. He no longer cared about any sense of awe and pointed at Yu Shengxianyi, shouting at Luo Hao in a voice filled with terror and disbelief.
However, upon hearing Lu Yinghua's words, especially the word "barbarians," Luo Hao's brows furrowed instantly, and a fierce glint flashed in his phoenix eyes!
It wasn't directed at Genichi Hanyu, but at Ryū Yōka!
"presumptuous!"
Luo Hao let out a cold shout. Although his voice was slightly weak, his long-accumulated authority burst forth instantly!
Without offering any further explanation, she simply raised her hand—despite her weakened state, the movement was still lightning fast, carrying a sharp palm wind—and slammed it fiercely towards Lu Yinghua!
"Oh!"
Lu Yinghua never expected his master to suddenly attack him, or rather, he didn't dare to dodge at all!
A solid palm strike landed on his chest, the force perfectly controlled—not enough to seriously injure him, but enough to leave him in a sorry state.
"Wow!"
Lu Yinghua screamed in agony as his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop. He clutched his chest, which felt tight, and coughed violently.
But at this moment, Lu Yinghua felt neither fear nor grievance; instead, tears streamed down his face!
it is true!
Such power!
That palm technique!
This is the exquisite control of hitting someone where it hurts most, but without causing any serious harm!
This is definitely my master!
Under heaven, apart from his irritable master, there was absolutely no one else who could unleash such unique damage that was both heart-wrenching and all too familiar to him!
The master was not controlled!
She is of sound mind!
Her martial arts style hasn't changed!
But why?
Lu Yinghua slumped to the ground, clutching his chest, looking at his master with a frosty expression, then at Yu Sheng Genichi beside him with a half-smile. His mind went completely blank, and his worldview shattered.
Feeling wronged, bewildered, shocked, and with that familiar pain all mixed together, this grown man couldn't help but shed bewildered tears.
Erica, Ena Seikiin, and Liliana, who were standing to the side, looked at each other in bewilderment, their expressions almost completely out of control.
This dramatic scene was completely beyond their expectations.
That arrogant martial arts king, instead of fighting to the death, actually acknowledged the king's status.
He even physically disciplined the disciple who defended him?
What on earth happened inside the cave?!
As Yuzuru Genichi watched this scene, especially at Lu Yinghua's complex expression—his face streaked with tears from the beating yet seemingly confirming something—his lips twitched slightly.
Although it was expected that Luo Hao's attitude would change after sharing his identity as a transmigrator, but...
This transformation is so characteristic of Luo Hao!
This woman's method of educating her disciples was indeed simple, brutal, and remarkably effective.
He shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "Well, at least it proves she's still the same person. It's just that her seniority increased a bit suddenly."
He stepped forward, looked at Lu Yinghua who was sitting on the ground questioning his existence, and then at Luo Hao who was still furious. He cleared his throat and said, "Alright, now that things have been discussed, it's settled."
His gaze swept over Erica and the others: "From this day forward, Luo Hao is mine. The Five Prisons Holy Sect will be temporarily managed by Lu Yinghua, and major matters must be reported."
Finally, he looked at Luo Hao, who was still somewhat dazed, and softened his tone a little: "Your injuries have not healed yet, so come back with me first and rest well. We can talk about other things later."
Upon hearing this, Luo Hao paused slightly, glanced at Yu Sheng Genichi, then at his disheveled disciple on the ground, and finally nodded very slightly.
A momentous incident seems to have temporarily come to a close in a way that no one could have predicted.
322 Summon Zeus and Near-Omnipotence
Deep within the ruins of Mount Olympus, Greece.
This is not an area accessible to tourists; it is a desolate mountaintop shrouded in an ancient barrier, yet imbued with endless mystery.
The massive, broken stone pillars stand tall amidst the ruins, and the shattered bases of the statues are scattered everywhere, silently recounting the past glory and fall.
The air was filled with dense, almost tangible divine particles, as if thousands of gods had just departed from this place.
Before the ruins of the Temple of Zeus, the most magnificent of all, whose former splendor can still be imagined even in its crumbling remains, an unprecedented grand ceremony is underway.
Thousands of elite members from various magical societies around the world are now working tirelessly around the temple ruins, much like parts on a precision instrument.
They mixed precious mithril powder with dragon blood to carve a massive, complex summoning array on the ground, covering the entire mountaintop; they meticulously inlaid gems and ancient relics imbued with immense magical power, according to the positions of the stars; and they chanted incantations in different languages, yet equally ancient and obscure…
All of this was for one purpose—to forcibly tear down the barrier between myth and reality, to pull Zeus, the supreme god-king who sits atop the Olympian gods and wields thunder and sky, out of his mythological realm and to make him descend here as a disobedient god!
At the center of the ceremony, at the entrance to the half-collapsed Temple of Zeus, a group of people stood quietly, gazing at the grand and frenzied scene before them.
The one leading them was none other than Genichi Hanyu.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, as if this blasphemous act, which could cause any mystical master to have their heart stop, was nothing more than routine preparation.
The evening breeze ruffled his black hair, revealing a pair of deep, star-like eyes beneath, filled with not a trace of tension, but only an almost indifferent anticipation.
Standing slightly behind him, about half a step back, was Luo Hao, the martial arts king who had recovered much of his health, but whose brows still held a hint of complexity and resignation.
She changed into a set of traditional Chinese clothing that allowed her to move easily, but it still couldn't hide her unparalleled beauty and the pride that ran deep in her bones.
Despite submitting to Genichi Hanyu, her gaze towards the summoning circle still carried the burning fighting spirit of a god-slayer.
Next came Genichi Hanyu's core team.
Erica Blantri, dressed in a bright red combat suit that shone like a flame, meticulously checked the final ritual's procedures.
Luculaziazola, the witch from Sardinia, closed her eyes to sense the resonance between the ley lines and the summoning circle, ensuring everything went perfectly;
Kiyoshuuin Ena, carrying the Heavenly Murakumo Sword, was eager to try it out.
Yuri Mariya and Liliana Kranichal, on the other hand, looked solemn, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any moment.
Of course, we can't forget that petite figure, exuding an aura of the underworld and death—Athena.
She stood quietly in the shadow of Genichi Hanyu, her golden eyes fixed coldly on the dilapidated statue of Zeus deep within the temple. Her small hands clenched slightly, and her aura was even more chilling than usual.
Genichi Hanyu planned to bring Zeus out and kill him for two reasons.
Firstly, and most importantly, Zeus, as the king of the gods in Greek mythology, possessed immense power, holding the divine authority over thunder, the sky, order, and even being the king of all gods; his power was comparable to that of the multiverse.
Seizing his power will bring Genichi Hanyu's power system to an unprecedented and near-perfect level, making "omnipotence" a reality.
Secondly, it can also be seen as a way for Athena to vent her pent-up anger that had been building up for countless years.
Genichi Hanyu turned his head slightly and glanced at the silver-haired loli with an icy aura beside him.
In the intricate web of relationships in Greek mythology, Zeus, though nominally Athena's father, certainly bullied her quite a bit. Whether it was the manner of her birth or his manipulation, suppression, and even reprimands of her during events like the Trojan War, all of these things fueled a long-standing resentment in the heart of this goddess of wisdom and war.
In the past, Athena was unable to resist due to the constraints of mythology and the gap in strength.
Now, Genichi Hanyu is determined to seek justice for what he owns.
This is both the owner's duty and a unique kind of enjoyment.
"After we've dealt with this Zeus..."
Genichi Hanyu spoke slowly, his voice calm yet carrying a sense of finality.
"Then my goal is only the last one left—the last king who sleeps on the other side of the cherry blossoms."
His tone was relaxed, as if he were talking about a routine task that was about to be completed.
In fact, before this, with the help of the strategy provided by Pandora and his own absolute strength, Genichi Hanyu had already visited almost all the powerful gods with names and surnames in various major mythologies around the world, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves!
From Odin and Thor in Northern Europe to Ra and Osiris in Egypt, from Brahma and Shiva in Islam to Ahura Mazda in Persia, from Kukulkan in Maya to Dagda in Kate, and even some remote and ancient indigenous pantheons, none were spared.
The number of powers he possesses has reached an extremely terrifying level, so much so that even Genichi Hanyu himself can't count or remember them all.
These powers are all-encompassing, covering almost every domain he could imagine: thunder, fire, sun, moon, ocean, underworld, death, life, war, wisdom, deception, sky, earth, storms, time, space, magic, prophecy, forging, hunting, fertility, plague, love, poetry…
It can be said that, apart from a very few extremely obscure or conceptual powers, Genichi Hanyu has almost collected a complete encyclopedia of the entire Earth's mythology!
