Chapter 71 (3/3): Olympus, Furious Collapse

At that moment, Bai Yu’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

She looked toward a direction where subtle spatial ripples appeared, quietly saying, “She’s here.”

Chris immediately straightened, instinctively stepping closer to Bai Yu.

The air ripples grew stronger, and ten meters ahead, a silver-blue light shimmered as a portal opened, and a familiar figure stepped out.

It was Su Fu.

Her calm gaze swept over Chris before resting on Bai Yu, a slight lift of her brow: “You don’t seem very surprised I’m here.”

She didn’t even sense any spatial restraints, meaning Bai Yu had welcomed her arrival.

A faint smile curved Bai Yu’s lips; her tone was composed: “At this point, it’s just the two of us. Two tigers cannot share one mountain; there can only be one first place.”

“If you didn’t come, I’d be surprised.”

She narrowed her eyes and said, “I didn’t expect you’d have the courage to challenge Olympus alone.”

“Well then,” Bai Yu gave a meaningful smile, “I’ll have to entertain you properly.”

She took a small step back, and Chris immediately understood, grasping her wrist.

“Then, I hope you enjoy yourself.”

Before the words finished, the two figures flickered and vanished.

At that instant, a tremendous roar echoed.

“Boom!”

Countless dazzling beams of divine power shot into the sky—golden Solar Divine Power, silver Lunar Divine Power, deep blue Ocean Divine Power, fiery red War God Divine Power…

These multicolored beams formed massive pillars piercing the clouds, quickly connecting to create a colossal dome in midair, tightly enclosing the main peak of Olympus.

The majestic sacred mountain transformed into a massive prison.

Su Fu stared at the brilliant dome overhead, realizing it was an Olympus Divine Array.

One had to admit… 

Bai Yu’s Principal God, the wise Athena, was truly clever.

Adapting to the environment, she had erected a surrounding containment formation. 

Smart move.

Bai Yu and Chris appeared on a nearby mountaintop, looking back at the main peak sealed off by the divine dome.

Chris frowned: “Do you think this can really trap her?”

He was genuinely scared of Su Fu. 

This woman always seemed to have endless Heavenly Techniques and schemes.

Bai Yu’s expression was grave as she stared at the intertwined beams of divine power, confidently stating, “It will. This array depends on the Olympus mountain range. As long as the mountain stands, the formation stands.”

“Even if she goes mad destroying the temple, it won’t affect the array one bit.”

Su Fu was reckless; there was no need to fight her head-on. 

As long as they controlled her score, the first place would be hers. 

This was the safest plan.

Trapping her was enough; no need for a life-or-death struggle.

Chris nodded but didn’t look much relieved: “At this point… we have no choice.”

He looked at Bai Yu and said”So, do we strike now? Many onlookers from the other five pantheons have already gathered.”

They were all spies from the other major pantheons.

Bai Yu withdrew her gaze and exhaled softly. 

“Here to watch my show? I hope there aren’t too few people.”

If she couldn’t handle Su Fu, how could she not handle these amateurs?

They all thought they were spectators but didn’t realize they were the performers.

She said coldly, “Strike immediately!”

Chris released a golden light from his hand, which exploded in the sky above Olympus like a signal, resonating in all directions.

Suddenly, all candidates who thought they were hiding were caught by the Greek candidates and dragged to designated spots in the array.

Only then did they realize their Divine Power was being uncontrollably siphoned, flowing nonstop into the massive dome.

“This is…!”

Panicked voices echoed, but it was too late.

Seeing this, Bai Yu was satisfied; finally, something was unfolding according to her plan.

“The more divine power, the stronger the array. Thank you all for your ‘contributions.'”

Su Fu looked at the divine power pillars surrounding the peak, realizing Bai Yu intended to trap her.

“Set a trap?”

She examined the huge containment formation with interest, but Pi Chu Xi’s expression changed.

“Boss, this is bad. Space is sealed off; teleportation is impossible. She’s probably trying to trap us here until the exam ends.”

Fang Bo Han frowned, “I didn’t expect Bai Yu to think of this. I thought we’d be fighting, but she just left us behind.”

‘Left us behind…?’ 

Absurd.

Su Fu, however, remained calm. 

She walked toward the high platform outside the temple, leaning on the railing and gazing far out. 

The view was magnificent, overlooking the vast Olympus range.

“She knew I’d come,” Su Fu guessed Bai Yu’s plan. 

“She never intended to face me head-on.”

“The rumors Bai Yu spread in the group were to enrage me, to make me lose control and come here.”

“She also knew I could control buildings, so most likely, I’d appear at the temple. After all, the building itself is the best weapon for me.”

Therefore, she had set the great formation on the mountain where the temple stood. 

Every move was linked—no wasted steps.

The key was that Bai Yu had completed all these deployments in a very short time.

Su Fu’s gaze fell to the foot of the mountain.

From this vantage, she could see the crowds gathered below; their divine power was being siphoned continuously into the dome.

“Tsk tsk, this containment array doesn’t just use Greek candidates’ divine power but also many unlucky others curious from other pantheons.”

“Now, all these suckers are being exploited by Bai Yu.”

Pi Chu Xi realized, “Wow, she’s ruthless. No wonder she kept hyping up your threat in the group, boss. Turns out she’d planned to use them all along.”

Su Fu nodded approvingly. 

“She’s really clever, choosing to borrow external forces and avoid direct conflict. Safe and effective.”

She thought to herself that before now, everyone had underestimated Bai Yu.

Everyone said Odinson was the first in the Fourth Star Ring, but this noble daughter was no less impressive—perhaps even craftier.

She had kept a low profile all these years, probably aiming to shine in the Starsea College Entrance Exam.

The wind at the platform’s edge howled louder, making Su Fu’s robes flutter.

The plan would have been great, if she hadn’t acquired Gonggong’s Mountain-Crashing Divine Technique.

“By the way,” Su Fu looked into the distance, “I’m curious what Bai Yu’s next move is? This containment array… is it just to trap me? Or…”

“Are there other similar traps set elsewhere?”

She smiled lightly, “Hopefully, this noble daughter will hold up her end and trap all abnormalities well, so I don’t have to waste effort.”

***

Meanwhile, on a distant peak.

“Lady Bai Yu, report!”

Bai Yu slightly turned her head, signaling him to continue.

“The canyon’s containment array is complete, and the abnormalities are successfully surrounded!”

Bai Yu’s previously tense expression relaxed a little. 

Good, everything was proceeding as planned. 

Let the other pantheons trap Su Fu.

Now it was time for them to harvest the map.

Based on the current situation, they would clear all abnormalities in half an hour.

She turned to Chris: “Keep fishing in the group.”

Chris immediately nodded knowingly. 

“Understood.”

Everyone who came had been captured, and their communications were naturally at their disposal.

They just needed any excuse to keep the five pantheons sending more people and divine power endlessly.

Would a large force come?

Impossible.

Everyone knew Bai Yu and Su Fu were about to have a major battle here. 

Those two powerhouses could topple even the Giant King’s Court—it would harm bystanders.

Even if someone wanted to take advantage, they’d wait until both sides were weakened.

But…

Their information source was already controlled; no one knew what was happening inside Olympus.

Even if suspicions arose, Bai Yu’s prior warnings in the group chat had probably scared everyone stiff.

By the time they reacted, it would all be over. 

They just needed to exploit this timing gap.

Did those people really think the news was provided by Bai Yu? 

The most expensive things are always the free ones.

It was both intimidation and bait.

If not for Su Fu… no, Chris shook his head. 

Even with Su Fu, Lady Bai Yu was first place.

Just as Bai Yu turned to head toward the first canyon point, a faint tremor came from beneath her feet.

‘A tremor?’

Bai Yu froze for a moment, a bad premonition rising in her heart. 

She suddenly looked up at the main peak.

If her eyes weren’t deceiving her, the majestic Olympus mountain—the divine mountain supporting heaven and earth—was… shaking?

Not an illusion, not a mirage.

“Ch-Chris…” her voice faltered for the first time.

Chris saw the scene too, unable to believe his eyes. 

“Th-The peak… is shaking? Su Fu can’t be trying to blow up that mountain, right?”

Bai Yu thought it was absurd—utterly absurd!

Olympus itself contained divine power and was a towering sacred mountain, the pillar holding up the world!

It was absolutely unbreakable. 

Otherwise, how could she have trapped Su Fu there?

“It must be my imagination…” Bai Yu murmured. 

“She must be controlling the temple to self-destruct, not the mountain…”

But the next second, her pupils suddenly contracted.

A colossal divine projection nearly a hundred meters tall appeared above the peak.

The figure was imposing, wielding a Fang Tian Hua Ji, standing atop raging waves. 

Streams of water and clouds swirled around him, radiating overwhelming might.

At this sight, Bai Yu’s face changed drastically. 

“What is she going to do?”

The answer came swiftly.

The massive divine projection howled to the sky, gripped the halberd tightly, and swung downward with full force, diving toward the Olympus main peak.

“…!”

The divine projection crashed into the summit at a speed too fast to react.

“Boom—!!!”

A deafening explosion echoed through the Olympus range; the earth shook violently, massive rocks shattered, dust billowed.

The shockwave rippled outward in circles, forcing everything away.

Even Bai Yu staggered backward.

Once she barely regained her footing, she stared in disbelief.

A huge crack had appeared at the summit, like a black giant python, slithering from the peak down to mid-slope.

“Crack—!”

The fissure spread downward at a terrifying speed, and more cracks branched off the main split.

Massive boulders detached from the mountain, crashing down with tremendous force.

“Crack! Boom!”

The entire Olympus main peak began to tilt slowly, as if it were a giant felled tree, toppling to one side!

The tilt was slow but suffocatingly ominous.

“Boom—!!!”

Finally, the peak collapsed completely, smashing heavily onto the ground, fracturing the earth and forming deep, bottomless chasms.

The divine power dome surrounding the mountain lost its foundation and shattered instantly.

All the Greek candidates who witnessed this were filled with terror and disbelief.

“This… this is impossible…”

“She… actually…”

“…broke the entire mountain…”

That was the sacred mountain where the Greek gods dwelled, a miracle standing firm for millions of years.

Generations had revered its majesty and sanctity, but no one had ever shaken it.

How could it collapse?

How could any candidate break a divine mountain?

But now… it has fallen.

As the dust cleared, the world brightened.

The massive fissure looked like a terrifying scar across the land.

Everyone’s gaze lifted, horrified at the figure responsible.

Su Fu stood atop the fractured mountainside, behind her towering the hundred-meter divine projection.

Her voice echoed amidst the howling wind: “My god Gonggong once smashed Buzhou Mountain in fury, causing the heavens to collapse northwest and the earth to sink southeast. Now, he has shattered Olympus Mountain, toppling the sacred peak.”

“People… be enraged?”
