151: Chapter 151: Return to Base 151: Chapter 151: Return to Base Although it was just a single palm strike, Ye Shikai had already distinctly felt an anomalous movement of energy within Poseidon. Why would this energy transfer to him? During a lull in the fighting, Ye Shikai suddenly recalled the last time at the auction, when the chaos within his energy began merely at the touch of the stone, nearly triggering his Demon Addiction. If it hadn’t been for Ji Qian’s sudden appearance at that time, Ye Shikai would have lost control. Poseidon seemed to have noticed this as well, and began to wonder. However, due to his cautious approach, he started to avoid close combat with Ye Shikai, especially since he was fighting two against one. Even with the power of the trident and the mysterious stone, he was at no advantage. This action by Poseidon greatly boosted Ye Shikai’s confidence; he had found Poseidon’s Achilles’ heel which was potentially lethal. “Nightmare, help me hold him off. I’ll engage him in close combat,” Ye Shikai instructed Nightmare. Understanding tacitly, Nightmare nodded slightly, restraining Poseidon’s offensive from the front, while Ye Shikai took this opportunity to throw a punch at Poseidon’s side, channeling seven parts of his Inner Strength, believing it would severely injure Poseidon. “Hades, you deserve to die.” Poseidon was sent flying by Ye Shikai’s punch, apparently taking significant damage. But what surprised Ye Shikai even more was that Poseidon’s energy did indeed transfer a portion to Ye Shikai upon contact, thus weakening Poseidon and strengthening Ye Shikai simultaneously, ensuring Poseidon’s inevitable defeat. Nightmare also noticed the anomaly; not long ago, Poseidon was all fury and vigour, yet now the explosive energy was conspicuously absent. Taking advantage of Poseidon’s vulnerability, Nightmare charged forward, wielding his double-halberds and unleashing a barrage of strikes. Poseidon, while fending off with his trident, was overwhelmed by the continuous assault from both Ye Shikai and Nightmare, hindered further by his deliberate avoidance of Ye Shikai, rendering many of his moves incomplete. After all, Poseidon is a Main God, and even in this state of absolute disadvantage, he could still endure hundreds of rounds, relying on the energy from the miraculous stone. The divine power of a Main God’s Divine Artifact is immense, almost a symbol of the god itself, much like a Soldier’s life bound to their weapon. The trident, which has been passed down for thousands of years, was the very reason behind Poseidon’s confidence. Ye Shikai circulated his Inner Strength to increase his mobility. He had clearly seen that Poseidon’s ability to hold his ground was thanks to the energy from the mystical stone, prompting Ye Shikai to focus on sneak attacks to drain Poseidon’s energy wherever possible. Gradually, the energy within Poseidon started to deplete. Clenching his teeth and brandishing his trident, he seized the moment to push back Nightmare and made a run for it. Similarly, Jialong, purely on his last breath, broke through the encirclement and fled alongside Poseidon. “Don’t let him escape,” exclaimed Nightmare, seeing Poseidon attempting to flee—a perfect opportunity to annihilate him that should not be missed. However, Ye Shikai stopped him. Capturing an injured Main God was not an easy task, and chasing after could lead to unforeseen consequences. Ye Shikai was not willing to take that risk. As for Jialong’s escape, it was somewhat regrettable as he was Poseidon’s right-hand man. Should he die, Poseidon would be left commandless. Looking at the dozens of bodies on the ground, Ye Shikai couldn’t help but be reminded of the many battles abroad. Every time, it was the same: a field filled with corpses. He never expected that such a scene would be repeated in Huaxia. As soon as the battle ended, Jeddon ordered the immediate cleanup of the battlefield. Although the location was remote, the commotion was bound to draw police attention. However, he believed that with the efficiency of the Netherworld Palace, the site would soon be restored to its original state. After this battle, the outside world would undoubtedly be shocked: the renowned assassin Belos dead in Huaxia, the Main God Poseidon defeated and returning in defeat. All of these would become glories of the Netherworld Palace. However, this battle also meant that Ye Shikai’s whereabouts in Huaxia were completely exposed. Outsiders would definitely know that the Netherworld King was in Huaxia. Nightmare sheathed his twin halberds and came to Ye Shikai’s side. “Nightmare, you arrived just in time,” Ye Shikai said with a smile. “As soon as you commanded, my Lord, I rushed over from Europe,” Nightmare replied. “The stone that Poseidon was using, you know about it, right?” “Yes, I’m aware. That stone comes from the Holy Mountain and contains enormous energy. Poseidon must have used this energy to unleash such astonishing combat power,” Nightmare spoke indifferently, “I heard that you, my Lord, have also obtained a special stone in Huaxia, which Poseidon has long coveted.” “You are correct.” What Nightmare said mirrored Ye Shikai’s own experience. Initially, Jialong simply wanted to obtain the stone but, after being refused by Ye Shikai, foolishly attempted to take it by force and ended up with a crippled hand. “My subordinate suggests that you, my Lord, should personally make a trip to the Holy Mountain in Europe. These special stones are now being researched and understood by various Main Gods, with some already making their moves.” “Alright, I’ll go when I have the time,” Ye Shikai responded. He had already witnessed the power of such stones, and if they fell into the hands of some main gods driven by greed, trouble was certain. Therefore, it was essential for Ye Shikai to visit the Holy Mountain. “We’ve won the battle; let’s head back to the base for now.” After the cleanup was finished, Ye Shikai gave the instruction, and dozens of people gradually returned to the base. Nightmare’s arrival added a layer of security to the Huaxia base—it could even be said that Nightmare was now the Netherworld King’s representative in Huaxia. Ye Shikai immediately had Ailina and a few other injured leaders go for healing. He left Ailina at the base and went alone back to Tianya Group, taking the opportunity to request some time off for Ailina from An Lan, and then went straight to find Su Qingyu. “It’s quite impressive, eh?” Su Qingyu, staring at the contract with triumph on her face, made Ye Shikai facepalm—after all, it was obtained through her husband selling his good looks, and he even got slapped in the process. Su Qingyu poured a cup of tea for Ye Shikai. He looked around the office and saw Su Qingyu intently examining the contract, and feebly probed, “Wife, let’s find some time soon; I want to make a trip to Europe.” “Sure, you go... Wait, why are you going to Europe?” Su Qingyu snapped back to reality, her face now filled with wariness as she looked at Ye Shikai.
