Light Speed ​​War

Chapter 294: Resolute Will

Suddenly, the crackling sound of burning wood broke the silence of the world.

Zhou Yuan snapped out of his daze and turned his gaze to Nana. Their eyes met briefly, and Nana quickly turned her head to look at the music god bass, as if asking him a question.

The bassist shook his head at Nana, probably thinking he couldn't capture the essence of the music and so he gave up.

Zhou Yuan took the flask, walked up to the bassist, took a few sips of liquor himself, and then handed the flask to the bassist. The bassist hesitated for a moment, then took it and drank a few sips as well. He found it spicy, but it seemed to have flavor. He took a few more big sips, his eyes shining. He recalled the piece he had just played, his heart pounding with excitement and a surge of heroic spirit. He decisively picked up his flute and began to play. This time, it was indeed flawless, full of artistic conception.

When the song ended, the bassist gulped down several more mouthfuls of liquor until the jug was completely empty. Zhou Yuan smiled, patted the bassist on the shoulder, and the bassist patted Zhou Yuan on the shoulder in return.

Zhou Yuan returned to Carlisle's side, and Carlisle gently asked, "Why is Beth different after drinking alcohol?"

"Hmm." Zhou Yuan didn't answer directly. How would someone who's never drunk alcohol know about it?

To everyone's surprise, Carlisle said, "I want to drink too."

Zhou Yuan looked at Carliss in surprise, and Carliss playfully met his gaze with a smile.

"Carlisle, are you sure?"

"Hmm, I want to try it."

"it is good."

Zhou Yuan quickly turned around, took all the remaining leather bottles, opened one of the bottles, smelled it, and handed it to Carlisle.

Carliss picked up the leather flask and, mimicking Zhou Yuan's earlier drinking motion, lifted it up, but Zhou Yuan quickly stopped her.

"what's wrong?"

"Try it first, but don't drink too much."

"Oh." Kalis brought the leather pot to her lips, tentatively took a small sip, then suddenly frowned, stuck out her tongue, and exclaimed, "So spicy!" But despite saying it was spicy, Kalis picked up the pot again and took several large gulps. Seemingly still not satisfied, she lifted the pot high and poured the contents into her mouth. Zhou Yuan was stunned.

"Rolling, rolling..." Carlisle drank the wine with more gusto than water, her expression completely unchanged.

"Is there any more?" After saying that, she handed the empty flask to Zhou Yuan.

Kalis, the god-king, drank heartily in front of everyone, which made the other gods somewhat embarrassed. However, they had become accustomed to embarrassment by now. Ever since Zhou Yuan from the other world arrived at the "Palace of Gods," Kalis and the other gods had all been changed by him.

"Carlisle, don't drink it anymore. Save it for later."

“Okay.” Carlisle smiled.

"Master..." Nana called out.

Zhou Yuan saw that Nana was still sitting cross-legged. "Oh, Nana, that's all for tonight. Get up. Thank you."

"Yes, Master." Nana leaped up nimbly and then gently picked up the guzheng.

"Nana, I'm going back to the flagship tomorrow to deal with the captured Pegasus civilization warship and those three hundred-plus humans."

"Yes, Master. As you commanded, the home planets of the Pegasus and Sky Arrow civilizations have been destroyed by interstellar catapults. However, these two civilizations still have remnants in other star systems."

"Nana, don't worry about them for now. Just make sure this solar system is absolutely safe."

"Yes, Master."

After saying that, Nana hugged the guzheng, slowly rose up, then accelerated, and disappeared after two minutes.

The crowd began to disperse, each returning to their own campfire.

After tidying up a bit, Carlisle and Zhou Yuan returned to their campfire with their belongings. The meat on the spears was already charred.

Zhou Yuan put the things down, then removed the spear from the campfire and placed it aside.

Zhou Yuan noticed that many people around the other campfires were lying directly on the ground. He glanced at the moon's position and estimated it was around 11 PM, time to go to sleep.

Carlis removed her crown, armor, elbow pads, and other headgear, letting her blonde hair fall loose. Her face was slightly flushed, probably from the alcohol she had just drunk. Carlis looked at Zhou Yuan and said to him, "Go to sleep," before stretching out and lying down.

Zhou Yuan stretched and then lay down to sleep.

The moonlight gently caressed Zhou Yuan's face as he recalled the day's various encounters. He glanced at the God-King Kalis beside him, feeling a sense of time travel. The night was tranquil, the moonlight enchanting. Looking at the moon, Zhou Yuan thought of Chang'e in the Eastern mythology's Moon Palace. Was she lonely? After a while of these random thoughts, Zhou Yuan quickly fell asleep.

When Zhou Yuan woke up, it was already daylight, the moon was in the east, the campfire still had a ember, and Kalis was still fast asleep beside him. Perhaps yesterday's battle had left Kalis a little tired.

Elsewhere, many elves and giants had already awakened and were quietly packing their belongings. Several great gods were also watching this area, seemingly waiting for Kalis to wake up.

Zhou Yuan stood up and stretched his muscles.

Twenty minutes later, Kalis slowly woke up and saw Zhou Yuan sitting beside her, watching the elves and giants busy at work.

"You're awake."

"Hmm, what's wrong with me today? It seems like I overslept."

"You must have been too tired yesterday."

Kalis stood up, put on her crown, elbow pads, armor, shield, and sword, and regained her divine kingly aura.

Seeing that the God King was ready, Beth walked over, bowed, and asked, "God King, may we depart now?"

Carlisle nodded, and the bassist picked up the flute. Several shrill notes rose into the sky. These notes were completely different from the bassist's tune last night; they were somewhat harsh and unpleasant to hear.

However, following these sharp screech sounds, the sound of a large eagle appeared in the distance, followed by a dense flock of large eagles flying in from the southern sky.

Zhou Yuan handed a leather flask to Bass, "Bass, this is wine, take it and drink it."

Beth glanced at Carlisle, who nodded. Beth was overjoyed and took the flask.

"Kalis, here, have some water." Kalis took the flask, pulled out the stopper, and gulped down a few mouthfuls. Feeling refreshed, she handed the flask back to Zhou Yuan, saying, "You drink too." Zhou Yuan hesitated for a moment, then drank as well.

Beth bowed and left the two, and the Golden Spirit Eagle and many silver-white eagles were already in front of them.

In the sky, countless eagles were flying, heading north.

The Golden Spirit Eagle led the way, carrying Carlisle and Zhou Yuan, who were standing side by side this time.

"Are you going back today?" Carlisle asked quietly.

"Yes, I have some things to take care of."

Carliss glanced at Zhou Yuan sideways. "Are you still coming over?"

"I will definitely come back, believe me."

"I believe you." Carlisle's eyes were full of tenderness.

"Carlisle, why don't you come with me?"

"where to?"

"Go elsewhere, go to my world."

Carliss hesitated for a moment, then said, "No, they need me."

“Kalis, I’ll show you my world. Don’t worry, I’ll bring you back. And Nana is watching over your world; she’ll take good care of it.”

"Really?" Carlisle's face was full of smiles.

"That Nana, is she your deputy?"

"um, yes."

"She's really amazing." I guess Nana's guqin performance last night left a deep impression on Kalis.

"Yes, she is very capable. The Earth Empire is managed by her."

"Earth Empire?"

"Oh, the Earth Empire is my world."

"Is your world the same as mine?" Carlis asked curiously.

"Kalis, how should I put it, my world is a little bit like your world, but there are many differences."

“I really want to see your world.” Kalis seemed to hesitate for a moment, then said firmly, “You will bring me back, won’t you?”

“Yes, believe me.” Zhou Yuan’s eyes were fixed on Caris.

“Okay, I’ll go take a look.” After saying that, Carlisle took Zhou Yuan’s hand.

"When?"

"Aren't you going back to your world today? I'll go with you. But I need to go back to the 'Temple of Gods' first to make some arrangements."

"you sure?"

"Ah."

"it is good."

After that, the two fell silent, looking at the clouds in front of them. Caris recalled the kiss in the clouds yesterday, and her face felt hot. She glanced at Zhou Yuan, who seemed to be thinking about something.

After flying for about an hour, a flock of eagles finally spotted the "Temple of the Gods" atop the mountain.

With a long cry, the Golden Spirit Eagle flew towards the Plaza of Gods. Zhou Yuan saw that many people were gradually appearing in the Plaza of Gods, who should be the gods who stayed behind to guard it.

Kalis, Zhou Yuan, and the gods descended to the plaza. The remaining giant eagles, carrying the giants and elves, continued flying north, followed by the Golden Spirit Eagle and over a hundred other giant eagles.

Kalis gave a few instructions to the gods, then took her hand and walked towards a building to the left of the "Temple of the Gods." This building was Kalis's house. Servants busied themselves preparing a meal. Kalis and Zhou Yuan washed up one after the other and then went to the main hall. The servants had already prepared breakfast, and the two ate.

Zhou Yuan didn't think the food was very tasty, which was understandable, given that this was ancient times and resources were scarce.

When Kalis sat on the throne and announced that she would go to another world with Zhou Yuan, more than twenty powerful gods were shocked.

The experts exchanged glances, but no one took the initiative to dissuade them. However, each of them wore an expression of anger and helplessness, and their gazes toward Zhou Yuan were filled with ill intent.

"Everyone, my decision to go to another world is my own, so please don't blame Zhou Yuan."

Hearing the God-King's words, all the gods lowered their heads. Zhou Yuan felt somewhat innocent.

The God of War, Marcus, was the first to step forward and bow to Kalis, saying, "God King, let me accompany you to another world."

Then Thor, Beth, Mehri, and Osta stepped forward one after another, saying, "God King, let us accompany you to another world."

"You're all being ridiculous. If you all leave, who will protect this world?"

"God-King, we are worried about you," said Marcus, the God of War, in a loud voice.

“Marcus, don’t worry. You’ve all seen Zhou Yuan’s divine power. There’s nothing dangerous between him and me.”

"God King, we cannot underestimate the power of demons."

"I've made up my mind. I'll be back as soon as possible. You just need to take good care of the 'Pantheon' and this world."

"God King..."

"No need to say anything more," Carlisle said, raising her voice.

"Yes."

Thor, Beth, Mehri, and Osta returned to their places, but Marcus, the God of War, remained in the same spot.

"Marcus?"

"God King, I would like to have a match with Zhou Yuan to ensure his safety in the other world. If he can defeat me, I will be at ease."

“Marcus, you must have seen the scene yesterday where Zhou Yuan fought against the flying beasts and summoned the ‘fireball’, right?”

"I have seen the God King, but I want to have a match with him in person."

Carlis looked at Zhou Yuan, who thought to himself that Marcus was really stubborn, but Marcus was still loyal.

Zhou Yuan nodded to Carlisle.

"Alright, Marcus. Let's go to the Plaza of the Gods."

"Yes, God-King."

More than twenty great gods rose and picked up their weapons. Kalis stepped down from her throne, taking her shield and sword with her. Zhou Yuan also picked up his shield and sword, and the group followed behind the God-King, soon arriving at the Plaza of the Gods.

Zhou Yuan looked at the sky. Although it was almost seven in the morning, the sunlight was still a bit dazzling.

In the center of the Pantheon, Marcus and Zhou Yuan stood four or five meters apart, while everyone else stood outside, keeping a distance from them.

Looking at the frail Zhou Yuan, and then at the tall and mighty God of War Marcus, Carlis couldn't help but worry, even though she knew Zhou Yuan was powerful.

Zhou Yuan smiled at Marcus, then removed his shield and longsword, placed them aside, and returned to his original position.

"Fight me bare-handed? Isn't that an insult to me?" Marcus was furious.

“Marcus, what are you waiting for? Let’s begin.” Zhou Yuan opened his arms, a smile on his face.

"it is good."

Marcus roared, his voice shaking the heavens. He leaped into the air, shielding himself with his left hand and thrusting his spear at Zhou Yuan with great force and speed. With a "whoosh," the spear was already in front of Zhou Yuan.

Karis, her palms sweating, began to speak, "Maku..." Karis was about to stop her.

The gods were greatly alarmed. Marcus, the god of war, had used almost all his strength in this attack, making it a thunderous strike.
