Paradise Pantheon · Apocalypse Map.
Everyone watched the messages in the channel fly by frantically.
They couldn’t even be bothered to fight Anomalies anymore and stopped to enjoy the gossip.
“My God!” Fang Ze’s eyes widened, “I was wondering why the Penglai Immortal Ship suddenly went quiet recently. Turns out she was brewing such a massive move in silence!”
Michael ripped off his jacket, which had been corroded by foul liquid.
“You’re telling me. Achilles was talking trash for ages, and Su Fu didn’t even respond. She just quietly snuck up to the Olympus Map and gave them a heavy blow, taking them out directly!”
He grinned, “Now that’s what I call satisfying!”
“Stop talking nonsense. It was crisp, clean, and a one-hit kill!” The surviving team members among the ruins chimed in.
Fang Ze couldn’t help but laugh, “This really was a mutual attraction. They both wanted to kill each other, the kind where they’d love to tear each other into ten thousand pieces.”
Houchu looked up at Fang Ze but said nothing.
“Although this revenge is satisfying,” medical officer Eileen said with a worried expression, “Zeus stands behind Achilles. He probably absolutely won’t let her go.”
Who didn’t know that Zeus was the most protective among the Greek Pantheon’s twelve Gods, and Achilles was the Divine Summoner he had always pampered the most.
“Now Su Fu’s enemy is a god…” Roy’s expression was complex, “And it’s the most protective Lord of Thunder. Things are going to get difficult.”
“Not just that,” Michael suddenly said, “Right now, everyone is very wary of Su Fu. The Penglai Immortal Ship’s abilities are too heaven-defying. It’s probably not just Zeus. She’s already become public enemy number one.”
“You mean…” Fang Ze suddenly reacted, “Those people will likely unite against her?”
“Yes.” Michael looked at Houchu and said, “She is strong enough to make everyone feel wary, even willing to temporarily put aside their personal grudges just to solve her. Otherwise, the entire league will become her solo stage.”
Who would be willing to become a supporting character highlighting someone else?
No one.
What to do?
Take her out.
“So, Captain,” Michael looked directly into his eyes, “if everyone stands on the opposite side of Su Fu, how will we choose?”

Atlantis · Undersea City-State.
Originally, the battle had been incredibly intense, and the eastern district of the Undersea City-State had almost been reduced to ruins.
But after hearing the news from Shen Yan, Huangfu Yun’s divine mecha stopped mid-air and retracted the cannon on its right arm.
The floating black cube opposite it also contracted at the same time, revealing Elvira’s pale face.
“It seems we need to change our mode of interaction,” Huangfu Yun’s voice came through the mecha, accompanied by a bit of static, “Let’s stop fighting for now, how about it?”
Elvira nodded silently.
The two people behind her also retracted their weapons at the same time, clearly agreeing.
There was no choice.
They were still caught in a frantic internal struggle, but Su Fu had already taken out an entire Olympus Map.
The gap was too large.
If they continued this internal struggle, by the time they reacted, the outside world might already belong to Su Fu.
No one wanted to see that happen.
Huangfu Yun then turned to the two figures standing on the edge of the ruins and asked, “What do you say?”
These two were from the Alpha Clan of the Dark Realm, a man and a woman.
Their skin was incredibly pale, but their eyes were as black as ink.
“Su Fu?” An Yu remembered, “That mysterious number one from the Tianqiong Path?”
“Gotta say, she’s fierce enough~”
“To take out a map so quickly,” You Lan’s eyes flickered with interest, “I really want to go and meet her…”
Huangfu Yun: “…”
‘I’m asking you if you’ll cooperate! I didn’t ask you to praise her!’
The two shrugged and said simultaneously, “Whatever, both work, it doesn’t matter.”
Huangfu Yun: “…”
This was clearly a perfunctory attitude.
Forget it, she couldn’t reason with these two from the Dark Realm!
Huangfu Yun then turned her gaze toward the nearby Chiya and Zero.
They had also stopped earlier; perhaps they had the same intention and could cooperate.
Just as she was about to speak, Chiya suddenly turned to look at Zero.
His eyes were frighteningly bright, but his voice was unusually gentle: “That Su Fu seems quite powerful. Shall we go meet her?”
“After all, these people…” He thought for a moment and spat out two words:
“Average.”
Upon the ruins, Zero’s white dress was still neat and clean.
She tilted her small face up, her jet-black eyes reflecting Chiya’s face.
She nodded gently and slightly raised the corners of her mouth: “Okay!”
“She must be very strong… her ability… and she’s from the Chinese Pantheon. It should be quite interesting, right?”
As the two spoke, they turned and left, clearly not taking the remaining people seriously at all.
Everyone: “…”
‘That was a dirty insult. Who’s “average”? Who are you calling “average”? You’re the ones who are “average”!’
Huangfu Yun’s face darkened, and she was incredibly angry.
If it weren’t for the mecha mask blocking her, her image might have been destroyed instantly.
But she thought about it again and finally shouted at the departing figures of the two, “You can’t even get over there directly!!”
“The urgent matter is to farm the BOSS for a displacement affix! At least our current goal is consistent: find the Immortal Ship!”
Huangfu Yun was completely numb.
These two experimental subjects had brain circuits different from normal people, and they even tried that “just up and leave” routine.
‘My God! You can’t leave! You need the affix!’
Her life was so bitter.
How did she end up with this group of people?
Although every single one of them was exceptionally strong, the key was that she was the only normal person.
By comparison, even the consistently cold Elvira seemed exceptionally prominent.
At least she could communicate normally.
Just then, Chiya suddenly looked back, pointing calmly in the direction ahead: “There’s a BOSS there.”
“Huh?” Everyone looked over.
There was nothing there.
In the calm seawater, only glowing corals swayed gently.
Just as Huangfu Yun was about to say something, all of Atlantis suddenly trembled violently!
“BOOM!!!”
A shadow that covered the sky and sun shrouded the dome.
An octopus with a diameter exceeding a hundred meters lay flat against the protective shield.
Its massive suckers were pressed tight against the shield, and over a dozen eyes greedily watched the humans inside, rotating slowly as if thinking… which one should it eat first?
Huangfu Yun: “…”
‘So ugly!’
An Yu & You Lan: “…”
‘So beautiful!’
Everyone: “…”
After Elvira took a look, she turned to silently watch Chiya and Zero.
So they wanted to leave just now because they had sensed the existence of this BOSS in advance?
They could actually sense an Anomaly before everyone else?
Experimental subjects… they really seemed different from them.
Huangfu Yun also realized this, and the information provided by the Eternal Cardinal regarding these two surfaced in her mind.
The evaluation had only four words:
“Humanoid Natural Disaster.”
Indeed, this perception was terrifyingly acute.

Just after the Olympus Map disappeared, Shen Yan released a world notification at the same time:
[“World Announcement: New Map is now online!”]
[“Map Name: Indian Pantheon · Churning of the Milk Sea”]
[“Test Takers may freely choose whether to leave their current map and proceed to the new map.”]
[“The recruitment period for the new map is three hours. The entrance will close after three hours.”]
[“Warning: Once you choose to enter the new map, you will be unable to return to your original map.”]
The appearance of the new map immediately made the channel lively again: [Holy crap? A new map? It was replaced so quickly? And it’s the Indian Pantheon?]
[This is meant to replace the Olympus Map, right?]
[In other words, if a map is taken out, a new one can be substituted?]
[The Pantheons that haven’t appeared yet have a chance now!]
[Wait, will duplicate Pantheon maps appear? For example, if someone is dissatisfied with their current map and wants to change?]
[I guess you want to ask: Can we change to a mobile map like the Penglai Immortal Ship?]
[…]
Su Fu paused for a moment when she saw this news.
So this was how new maps could be refreshed.
However, now was not the time to study this.
She retracted her gaze and looked at the Divine Power Light Pillar gathering before her.
The brilliant divine radiance was brighter than ever before; this was the reward for the victor.
After clearing a map for the first time, she was assigned one summoning chance, and after being the first to break the Olympus Map, she was given another.
Now she had summoned them.
The figure on the left was Nezha, the Third Prince with explosive combat power.
The young divine general stood upon the Wind Fire Wheels, holding the Fire-tipped Spear, with the Huntian Ling moving automatically without wind, spreading out behind him like a cloud hanging from the sky.
She had requested the Fire-tipped Spear Divine Artifact, and the god had granted it.
But more importantly, this meant she had gained Nezha’s recognition.
From then on, she could utilize the Nezha Divine Manifestation, not to mention His manifestation with three heads and six arms!
She didn’t even dare to imagine how much she would be strengthened with the Nezha Divine Manifestation.
Her own combat power would probably increase more than tenfold.
Moreover, with the added bonus of the Divine Artifacts—Wind Fire Wheels, Fire-tipped Spear, Universe Ring, Huntian Ling…
She wondered, who could possibly stop her!
The one summoned on the right was Erlang Shen.
The Heavenly Eye on Erlang Shen Yang Jian’s forehead was slightly open, and the Divine Manifestation behind him stood tall between heaven and earth.
It was exactly the Heavenly Technique He had just bestowed upon her: Law Enacting Heaven and Earth!
“Law Enacting Heaven and Earth can hold up the azure sky.”
Su Fu gripped the Fire-tipped Spear, and the Divine Manifestations appeared together behind her: Nezha with three heads and six arms, Erlang Shen, and the Great Sage’s Law Enacting Heaven and Earth.
She could feel as if her body had endless power, a sensation that she could tear through space with her bare hands.
With the manifestations of the Great Sage, Nezha, and Erlang Shen, Su Fu suddenly felt emboldened and confident.
‘Who? God King Zeus? Your name is God King? If you show your head, you’re dead; if you don’t, you’re still dead!’
Besides, she felt that any one of the three great rebels taken individually could solo Zeus!

Meanwhile, at the Norse Pantheon · Rainbow Bridge Rift.
The World Tree Seedling was growing wildly under the pouring of abundant Divine Power, its tender green branches winding and stretching.
It was surrounded by layers of rune protective shields, primarily for protection and defense.
But just then, a thin shadow quietly appeared in the distance.
It was a black dog with an extraordinary aura.
It was as black as ink, its movements agile and light.
Its nose kept twitching as if it were sniffing for something.
“Whine…” It let out a soft whine, seemingly having discovered something.
Its pace grew faster and faster, finally stopping near the World Tree Seedling.
Those beastly pupils slowly dilated.
“Good stuff… such abundant vitality…” It murmured in a low voice, its tone full of surprise, “Hehe, I’ll go back and tell Su Fu!”
The black dog hopped excitedly on the spot a few times, then suddenly charged into the sky like a bolt of black lightning, cutting through the vast expanse and chasing the sun.
The next moment, its figure stepped through the void, entered the colorful vortex of the Dream Realm, and soon returned to the Immortal Ship.
“Woof, woof, woof!”
“Su Fu! I found something good over at the Norse Rift!”
“Woof woof!”
“It’s a World Tree Seedling!”
The black dog rushed toward Su Fu excitedly, its tail wagging rapidly.
Su Fu had just finished her summoning.
Hearing the voice, she turned around and saw a pitch-black divine dog looking at her expectantly.
“Wait… tell me first, when did you run out?! And why did you run off to the Norse map?!”
The black dog was none other than the one under Erlang Shen, the Sun-Swallowing God Monarch, the Howling Celestial Dog.
“Uh…” The Howling Celestial Dog felt guilty, “Actually, it’s because I got a bit sick of eating too much roasted whole lamb… I wanted some greens to cut through the grease, and then I found this tree…”
Su Fu: “?”
Wait, let her get this straight— ‘You mean, you want to use the World Tree as a side dish to cut the grease?!’
Her silence was deafening.
