Han Sen, Bao Lian and Dragon One felt a cold sweat gather across their brows . There was nothing in the world that was scarier than an unreasonable deity . It was obvious that the god phoenix wasn’t acting rationally .
“You . Answer this question . ” The phoenix turned to another King class noble . That person was also a student of Elder Nader, and he was asked the same question .
“Master…” The guy seemed to be on the verge of tears . He spoke to Elder Nader with a trembling voice .
Elder Nader’s face turned green . He had brought many of his students there to explore the new xenogeneic space . He hadn’t expected them to run face-first into a true god . Such a being was a truly terrifying existence . He knew this was going to be bad .
But this student was behaving with such weakness . He was a King class elite with Destroyed blood . And yet, he sounded weaker than some low-ranking outsider .
“Answer my question . ” The flames across the phoenix’s body exploded, covering the skies and the earth with a white flame . The eyes of the bird stared down at the Destroyed King with demonic intensity .
The Destroyed student looked pale, and he hurried up to answer, “I would listen to my partner . If she wanted me to live, I would live . If she wanted me to die, I would die . ”
“What a wimp . ” The phoenix grunted callously . It opened its mouth and drew in a breath . Just like the other two creatures, the Destroyed King’s body was reduced to nothing but ash .
Every person’s heart sank . It was obvious that the phoenix was playing with them . No matter what they answered, they were going to die .
“If you want to kill me, kill me . I’m not answering your crappy bird-brained question,” shouted a nameless King when he saw the phoenix looking down on him .
“If that is what you desire, then I will do it . ” The phoenix was still acting very high-class and elegant . It lowered its head, opened its beak, and inhaled . The King dissolved into dust .
Han Sen’s heart sank . He had been hoping that the phoenix’s question was similar to the wishes offered by the gods . He had suspected that if he didn’t answer the question, the phoenix might not be able to hurt him . But after watching the death of the most recent victim, it was evident things weren’t like that .
Dragon One and Bao Lian’s faces looked grey, and sweat had beaded across their faces . They thought their feelings would be reflected in Han Sen, and that they would feel hopeless .
The phoenix asked the same question to another few creatures, but no matter what they answered, the results were the same . They all had their life forces ripped out of them .
The powerful Elder Nader was a transmutation deified, but he could only watch the events unfold . He couldn’t resist or do anything about it .
Eventually, the phoenix came before Elder Nader . Elder Nader’s three heads and six eyes stared back at the phoenix . It looked as if he wanted to attack the phoenix, but his body was bound too tightly by the branches . He couldn’t even move, let alone fight . He couldn’t even wiggle his fingers .
The branches hadn’t just trapped his body . If the situation was that simple, then his elite transmutation powers would have allowed him to turn a simple exhale into an end-of-the-world thunder god . He wouldn’t be rendered helpless by mere physical restraints .
But now, Elder Nader couldn’t exert any strength . He wasn’t even sure if his power had been contained or drained entirely .
As everyone waited for Elder Nader to die, the phoenix turned its face away . It turned around, and its raptor-like gaze locked onto Han Sen and the two others on the ground next to him .
The hearts of the three began to bound . Before they realized what was going on, the phoenix flapped its wings and flew down the mountain .
“Oh no . ” Han Sen suddenly felt sick with fear . Why had that phoenix suddenly changed its mind, leaving a deified elite to fly toward them instead?
The faces of Dragon One and Bao Lian turned green . Losing all sense of decorum, Dragon One shouted at Bao Lian, “Mr . Bao, if we don’t fight, we don’t stand a chance!”
Bao Lian’s face darkened with frustration . “You think I don’t want to fight? Have you been paying attention? The power gap is too significant . Even though my King body isn’t suppressed, I can’t seem to use its power . There is no chance of fighting back . Aren’t you a Dragon? Don’t you call yourself the bravest race? Don’t you guys have high resistance to any kind of power? Can you break the suppression on me so that I can activate my King body? Perhaps that way we can get out of this mess . ”
Dragon One sank against his bonds . “If I could break free, do you think I would remain here trapped?”
The discussion was pointless . The two of them were locked-down there, and neither of them could get free . Dragon One could see that Bao Lian was useless, so he shouted at Han Sen, “Dollar, if you can escape, take us away now . Do it before it is too late . ”
Han Sen shook his head . Even if he used his super god spirit body to escape, it would only last a second . Once that time was up, the phoenix’s power would be back to suppressing him . He was a dead man, either way .
There was nothing that the three of them could do to escape . And by now, the phoenix had reached them . It landed ten meters away from the three and looked at Han Sen .
“No way . There are so many creatures you can eat, but you choose to eat me? I am not Tang Sanzang . What are you staring at me for?” Han Sen felt so depressed . He prepared to activate his super god spirit body . Although his chances of escape were low, it was worth a shot .
Han Sen was going to wait until the phoenix asked its question, and as soon as it started speaking, he would use his super god spirit body to teleport away . Perhaps he would survive, somehow .
But when the phoenix opened its beak, it didn’t ask a question . The scary suction pulled on Han Sen’s body .
“Oh no… It’s all over . ” Han Sen thought in sudden despair . It was too late for him to use his super god spirit body now .
Han Sen thought he was going to be turned into dust, but that wasn’t what happened . His body flew through the air toward the phoenix .
Before Han Sen realized what was going on, the phoenix flapped its wings and shot up into the air beneath Han Sen, catching him on its back .
Han Sen was sitting on the white fire, but it didn’t feel hot . It was a very warm, relaxing sensation . He felt as if he was sitting in a hot spring . The phoenix’s body had a seemingly limitless lifeforce . The feeling rushed through him, and it made his body feel like old wood receiving life again . His cells were active, and they began to multiply at a much faster rate .
“What is going on?” Han Sen was confused .
Bao Lian, Dragon One, and many of the other creatures that were wrapped up in branches were looking quite confused . They couldn’t believe this was happening .
They all thought Dollar was going to bite the dust . They would never have guessed that he would end up riding the phoenix . They all stared at Han Sen in shock, unsure what sort of reaction they should give .
After the phoenix placed Han Sen on its back, it flapped its wings and returned to the wooden bridge .
Han Sen sat atop the phoenix’s back . He could tell that the phoenix didn’t hold any hostility toward him .
The phoenix dropped back onto the bridge, landing in front of Elder Nader, who was tied up like a cocoon . The bird’s resonating voice played in everyone’s head again .
“You can eat this,” the phoenix said . All around Han Sen, the jaws of the onlookers fell open .
Even though the phoenix hadn’t used Elder Nader’s name, it was obvious that the bird thought the Destroyed would be tasty and nutritious . And he wanted Han Sen to eat the man .
