Chapter 880: Chapter 880 Appear
Mona Lisaās expression darkened upon hearing this, a pang of sorrow gripping her heart. She never thought Da Vinci could ultimately escape neither mortality nor fate.
"But, Miss Mona Lisa, I fear you may not know that it was only in Master Da Vinciās final moments that he revealed the true prophecy of the futureās destiny." The middle-aged man spoke calmly.
Mona Lisa furrowed her brows. "What do you mean by that? You... are planning to act against me?"
She had already noticed that several Demi-God Domain experts surrounded her, and their target was unmistakably her.
The middle-aged man nodded, saying, "The Chaos of Destruction begins in The Abyss! This was Master Da Vinciās final utterance. Miss Mona Lisa, surely you understand what these words mean?"
Mona Lisaās face drastically changed, and she cried out in disbelief: "Impossible, thatās impossible!"
"Whether this is possible or not, I believe Miss Mona Lisa knows deep down!" The middle-aged man continued in a detached tone. "Though I do not yet grasp the meaning of Master Da Vinciās words, the fact he withheld this from you suggests it is closely tied to you. Therefore..."
"Therefore, I hope Miss Mona Lisa does not resist, or we as juniors will be placed in a difficult position!" The middle-aged man smiled slightly. "But rest assured, we mean you no harm!"
Mona Lisaās countenance sank. She understood his implicationāthey intended to subdue her.
"Damn it! Da Vinci, just what game are you playing?" Mona Lisa thought bitterly to herself. "It looks like I must quickly find a quiet place to recover my strength."
Taking a step back, Mona Lisaās face grew vigilant. "Heh, are you trying to imprison me?"
The middle-aged man chuckled lightly. "Miss Mona Lisa, you are overthinking this. We are merely acting for the safety of the entire world!"
"Shameless!" Mona Lisa sneered coldly. "If I wish to leave, no one in this world can stop me!"
As she spoke, a blinding light abruptly erupted from her body, and her figure vanished within it.
"Trying to escape?" The middle-aged manās eyes narrowed as he extended his right hand. A golden Fist Imprint materialized in midair and struck hard into the Void.
Dark green blood splattered from the air, followed by Mona Lisaās furious voice: "Fine, fine! I, Mona Lisa, will remember this grudge!"
The middle-aged man frowned slightly. "As expected... youāre not human. What a pity. It seems I underestimated your means of escape. Capturing you next time wonāt be an easy task."
"Father!" Talabova and Skovic hurried forward as the middle-aged man turned around.

The middle-aged man nodded. "Youāve both done well over the years."
A hint of joy emerged on Talabovaās and Skovicās faces. Gaining their fatherās approval was no easy feat.
"But..." The middle-aged manās gaze shifted toward Talabova. "Talabova, I didnāt expect you to reach the position of High-Level Deacon in just three short years. I am pleased. However, Iāve heard that you are pursuing a man named Ling Feng?"
Talabovaās heart skipped a beat. "Father, I can explain..."
"No need to explain!" The middle-aged man said flatly. "If there is no truth to this, then letās leave it at that. But if it is true, you must sever ties with him immediately. You should be well aware that, as heirs to the Eye of God, you are forbidden from forming personal connections with those from the Underworld!"
"Why?" Talabova couldnāt help but ask. "Father, I truly care for Ling Feng. I..."
"Hmph!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, cutting her off. "Iāve made it clear: the two of you are impossible. You possess great talent and may one day inherit the Eye of God. I will not allow you to waste your potential on a mere nobody! If you remain obstinate, I wonāt hesitate to ensure you abandon all hope!"
Talabovaās eyes widened. "Father, do you mean..."
"A mere nobody of the Divine Gateāa hyped-up Blood-Handed Asuraāis still nothing more than an insect in my eyes!" The middle-aged man declared. "My daughter, Iāll give you time, but if you cannot control yourself, I wonāt hesitate to erase the entire Divine Gate from existence. Donāt doubt my words!"
Anger flashed across Talabovaās face, but she was pulled back by Skovic. "Father, donāt worry. My sister wonāt let you down, and Ling Feng isnāt worthy of her. Sheāll come to her senses eventually!"
With that, Skovic dragged Talabova away.
"Ling Feng?" A dangerous gleam flickered in the middle-aged manās eyes as a scene materialized before him, showing Ling Feng and Catherine in their current situation.
"Hmm?" Ling Feng shivered, feeling a sudden chill and glancing suspiciously around him. Just moments ago, he had the distinct sensation of being watched.
Yet after probing carefully, he found nothing.
"Strange!" Ling Feng frowned. At his current level of power, such sensations were never mere illusions. Someone had undoubtedly spied on him just now, but their strength far surpassed his, evading his perception.
"Letās hurry!" Ling Feng said in a low voice. Heaven Island carried a palpable air of impending chaos, like the calm before a storm.
But in the next instant, he felt a flood of murderous intent bearing down on him.
"Watch out!" Ling Feng wrapped an arm protectively around Catherineās waist, dodging a sudden barrage of hidden weapons.
Several hidden weapons struck the spot where they had just been. Ling Fengās sharp gaze turned icy. "Whoās there? Come out!"
Catherineās face was also grim. She hadnāt expected to encounter an ambush on Heaven Island.
"Impressive!" At that moment, over a dozen masked figures in black emerged from the surroundings, their identities concealed.
"Who are you?" Ling Feng stepped in front of Catherine protectively, his voice cold. "You dare strike here? Are you not afraid of the Eye of Godās retribution?"
The leader of the black-clad group chuckled darkly. "The Eye of God is likely embroiled in its own troubles by now. If you thought you could rely on their protection, itās time to abandon that hope. Miss Catherine, have you given further thought to the proposition we made a month ago?"
With a trace of astonishment, Catherine responded, "So youāre the ones trying to steal our Gene Experiment data?"
The black-clad leader smiled faintly. "Exactly. Now, Miss Catherine, I trust youāve made your decision?"
