Chapter 1154: Chapter 1153: Diverting Trouble Eastward
"Ares!" At this moment, Aphrodite sighed and said, "Previously, out of respect for us both being among the Twelve Main Gods, I held back from speaking too harshly, but things have come to this point, and I must reveal the whole truth to you!"
The resolve in Aphroditeās voice was unmistakable, and everyone couldnāt help but focus their gaze on her.
Seeing her pitiable appearance, an inexplicable tenderness arose in Ling Fengās heart, with even a fleeting impulse to hold her in his arms for comfort!
However, Ling Feng quickly came to his senses, a hint of shock in his eyes, realizing just how seductive Aphrodite was. No wonder she was called the goddess of love and beauty. If he were to be beguiled for even a few seconds during a battle, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Aphrodite, what do you want to say?" Ares asked anxiously.
Aphrodite glanced at Ares, then turned her soft gaze to Ling Feng: "Actually, I already have someone I like, but that person is not you, Ares! So, I hope you donāt disturb us!"
"You have someone you like? This... This canāt be! How is this possible!" Ares shouted, as if struck by an arrow, anger coursing through him: "Aphrodite, I have pursued you for so many years, and now you tell me you have someone you like? Who is he? I will kill him!"
Aphrodite laughed brilliantly, and the sky seemed to brighten significantly: "That person, far away in heaven, yet right before you! Heās here! But itās not Apollo!"
Not Apollo? Ares turned his gaze towards Bass and Ling Feng.
Ares knew that Bass was a Divine Envoy from the Divine Realm, and it was impossible for Aphrodite to have had any interaction with Bass before! Eliminating Bass leaves only one personāLing Feng! It means Ling Feng is the man Aphrodite fancies!
Ares thought himself exceedingly clever, having been able to deduce the man favored by Aphrodite under such complex circumstances, filling him with both joy and sorrow.
With a sweep of his spear, Ares, filled with fighting spirit, declared: "You, wretch, have stolen Aphroditeās heart. I will kill you in the name of the War God! Killing you, I will be the man worthy of Aphrodite! Draw your weapon; I, Ares, do not kill the weak!"
Ling Feng was dumbfounded, what was this? Clearly a love triangle involving three Main Gods, yet he was inexplicably dragged into it?
However, seeing the cunning in Aphroditeās eyes and recalling her prior words, Ling Feng couldnāt help but frown. It seemed he had been schemed against by this so-called goddess of love and beauty! But what Ling Feng didnāt understand was, this was their first meeting, was there a need to plot against him? Could it be there were reasons he was unaware of?
"Why donāt you draw your weapon!" Seeing Ling Feng unmoved, Ares became furious: "Are you mocking the War God Ares?"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes, replying irritably: "War God? I think youāre more like a God of Fools, try using the underdeveloped brain of yours to thinkācould I really be her beloved? Iāve never even seen you all before!"
Previously, Ares looked down on Ling Feng, and Ling Feng didnāt have a good impression of him either! Although Ling Feng knew Ares was a blockhead, he still didnāt want to get entangled in their drama.
Aresā eyes reddened, his nostrils flaring, panting heavily: "You... You insult me?"
Ling Feng: ...
This fool really has a screw loose in his head, does he not know what the main point to focus on is?
"A mere mortal dares to speak so arrogantly to me!" Flames flickered on Aresā spear: "I donāt care who you are, Iāll give you one last chance, draw your weapon and battle! Otherwise, I will crush you completely, never allowing your soul to be reincarnated!"
Ling Feng could see it clearly now, Ares was simply an idiot! But being repeatedly provoked by such an idiot, Ling Fengās expression turned grim as well.
"Doom me to eternal damnation?" Ling Feng sneered: "If this is the hospitality of your Alliance of Gods, I suppose thereās no need for me to meet Zeus! Apollo, letās take our leave!"
Though Ling Feng didnāt know why Aphrodite schemed against him, he wasnāt one to sit passively and succumb either; since they intended to plot against him, there was no point in playing by their rules.
"Want to leave? Fight me first, if you win, then you may go!" Ares sneered, twirling his spear and charging directly at Ling Feng.
Apolloās eyes grew anxious, about to intervene, when he heard Aphroditeās message: "Apollo, do not act rashly, this is Lord Zeusās will!"
Lord Zeus? Apolloās steps halted, confusion flickering in his eyes, why would Lord Zeus have Ares attack Ling Feng?
Boom! Aresā Spear of the War God struck the ground heavily, leaving a deep pit, but unfortunately, the strike didnāt hit Ling Feng.
A glint of regret flickered in Bassās eyes as he glanced between Aphrodite and Ares, seemingly understanding something.
"Ares, donāt go too far!" Ling Feng coldly said: "Aphrodite, donāt you think you ought to say something?"
Feeling the icy stare from Ling Feng, Aphrodite was somewhat displeased too. As the goddess of love and beauty, when had anyone ever dared to look at her with such cold eyes?
Aphrodite sighed slightly and said: "Ares, stop attacking Ling Feng. If you let him go, I... I will agree to anything you ask!"
Ares was on the verge of madness, pointing at Ling Feng, shouting: "Aphrodite, you would degrade yourself like this for such trash? I, Ares, will certainly not spare him!"
Ling Feng internally cursed, Aphroditeās words not only failed to explain, but incited Aresā anger further.
"Spear of the War God!" Ares roared: "Burn, soul of the War God!"
The flames on the Spear of the War God surged fiercely, making the entire spear look like a living dragon, Ares charged once more: "Fight like a man, cowering like a woman is truly disgusting!"
Ling Fengās expression turned utterly cold, it was impossible to reason with such a brute, only by subduing him, making him hurt, would he listen to what Ling Feng had to say!
Moreover... Ares repeatedly insulting him, Ling Fengās fury had reached a peak.
"As you wish!" Ling Feng exclaimed lowly: "War God Ares, I shall see how capable you Twelve Main Gods truly are!"
