Chapter 1612: Chapter 1605: Arrogant Dio

”If people from the Holy Mountain can come here, why can’t I come here?”

Upon hearing Avril’s words, the white man, Dio, said proudly: ”However, I didn’t expect that when I came here, I would hear such an incredible piece of news. Avril, you’re actually planning to become the next Pope. If this matter gets out, do you think the Pope will send you to the stake?”

”Dio, don’t you think you’re talking too much? Do you think I don’t dare to kill you?”

Avril’s face turned cold upon hearing these words.

”Kill me? Avril, you’re not qualified. Besides, I have only one purpose today, to join forces to kill the Judge and get the Four Symbols Ring.” Dio said bluntly, looking at Avril.

”Cooperate?”

Avril sneered and said: ”Dio, is this your attitude towards cooperation?”

”My attitude is already quite good, and you have no other choice.”

Dio said casually: ”If you don’t cooperate, I don’t mind going to the Judge. I think there should be no problem in joining forces with him. Although I don’t like yellow-skinned monkeys, there shouldn’t be any problem in cooperating, right? What do you say, Avril?”

Upon hearing Dio’s words, a cold gleam flashed deep in Avril’s eyes, and she replied calmly: ”You’re right, I don’t like my enemies having another ally. There’s no problem in cooperating with me. However, as for the Four Symbols Ring, you shouldn’t be telling me. I’m not interested in the so-called Four Symbols Ring. It doesn’t matter who takes it away, as long as Poseidon agrees.”

”Poseidon, I want the Four Symbols Ring. Do you have any objections?”

Upon hearing Avril’s words, Dio’s gaze immediately fell on Poseidon, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance and disdain. As an elite of the American Superhero Team and one of the world’s most powerful countries, Dio felt he had the right to be proud and didn’t need to be polite to anyone.

”I don’t mind at all, if you have the life to take it.” Poseidon said calmly.

”Poseidon, what did you say? Do you think I don’t dare to kill you?”

Dio’s expression immediately turned ugly, with a hint of grim murderous intent in his tone. As the captain of the second team of the American Superhero Team, no one had ever dared to speak to him in such a tone.

”You can try. I don’t mind slaughtering you.”

”Poseidon, you’re looking for death...”

As the words fell, a terrifying aura emerged from Dio’s body. His whole figure seemed to grow taller out of thin air, muscles bulging, filled with explosive power. A rocky grey-brown airflow began to spread over Dio’s entire body.

Petrification Ability!

Dio’s superpower allows him to petrify himself, possessing unmatched defensive power. At the same time, he can petrify everything he touches. It has a unique attacking charm similar to Medusa’s.

Upon witnessing this scene, Avril’s expression slightly changed. She had long heard that Dio was an arrogant racist who looked down on everyone. Yet she hadn’t expected him to be so rampant, so utterly unconstrained.

”Enough, Dio, stop it. We are partners now. If we start fighting internally before even beginning, do you want the Judge to laugh at us?” Avril said sharply.

In Avril’s heart, she knew very clearly that she had no choice but to speak out at this time. If Dio died in Maria Church, it wouldn’t be of any benefit to her. On the contrary, the Church might end up on bad terms with the American Superhero Team, which would be completely counterproductive for her.

Upon hearing Avril’s words, a bloodthirsty glint flashed in Dio’s eyes, but he didn’t move and responded grimly: ”Hmph, Poseidon, this time I’ll let you go. After killing the Judge, I’ll break your bones one by one and let you watch me take the Four Symbols Ring back to Washington, you bugs of the Holy Mountain.”

”Bugs!”

Upon hearing Dio’s words, a fierce killing intent flashed in the depths of Poseidon’s eyes, ultimately dissipating into nothingness. His face still wore a slight smile, but how much killing intent was hidden in his heart was unknown to anyone.

”Avril, what do you plan to do this time? How can we get rid of the Judge?” Dio fixed his gaze on Avril and directly asked.

”We need to carefully plan this matter. We must find the right opportunity to strike, ideally a chance to kill with one blow, giving the Judge no opportunity to retaliate.” Avril said heavily.

”Avril, aren’t you overestimating the Judge? He’s just a yellow-skinned monkey, easily crushed to death. Killing him is as easy as flipping my hand. Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble?” Dio said disdainfully. In his view, Lu Tianxing was just an ant, easily crushed and utterly unimpressive.

Upon hearing this, Avril gave a dismissive laugh and said: ”Dio, you’re still so arrogant. Have you already forgotten how you were chased out of China like a dog by the Yanhuang Group the last time you were here? Arrogance can get you killed.”

”You...”

”Dio, I advise you to overestimate Lu Tianxing, otherwise you’ll die miserably. Not only will you die, but your Superman Team Two will also completely disappear from this world. Do you believe me?”

Upon hearing Avril’s words, Dio’s face darkened even more, but he was helpless. Avril was not Poseidon, merely a rat hiding in the shadows. Even if Poseidon were killed, he wasn’t afraid of reprisal from Holy Mountain. But Avril was different; she was the Holy Daughter of the Church, a great and open power, and the Church’s followers spread all over the world. If he dared to do anything to Avril, his ultimate fate would undoubtedly be death, and not even the American Superhero Team could protect him.

”Avril, what do you think we should do temporarily?” Poseidon spoke up at this time.

”We need to put aside all prejudice and work together now.”

Avril took a deep breath and said, ”This is the best way to deal with the Judge currently. Undeniably, your strengths are strong, but don’t forget this is China, the land of the Yanhuang Group. If we act rashly, the Yanhuang Group will certainly intervene in this matter. So, once we make a move, we must ensure that we kill the Judge in the shortest possible time to ensure our safe retreat. Similarly, before this, there must be no internal discord, or the idea of dealing with the Judge will be nothing more than a delusion; all grievances must wait to be resolved until after the Judge is dead.”

If no confrontation had occurred with Lu Tianxing last night, although Avril would have overestimated Lu Tianxing’s power, she wouldn’t have treated him so seriously now. However, Lu Tianxing’s performance last night made her fearful to an extreme degree, not daring to act rashly, only seeking a steady victory.

”Alright, let’s do as you say.”

Dio glanced at Avril, finally letting his gaze fall on Poseidon: ”Poseidon, wait and see, once I kill the Judge, it will be your time to die.”

As his words fell, Dio raised his hand and made a throat-cutting gesture on his neck, stepping back while a black hole appeared behind him, which swallowed him whole and disappeared from sight.

Clearly, there was another powerful space superpower user in the American Superhero Team.

”Ignorant ant.”

Poseidon flashed a ruthless look at Avril and said, ”Holy Daughter, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. Just notify me when it’s time to act.”

As his words fell, Poseidon did not linger and walked straight out.

Just after Poseidon left, an old man dressed in a Red Cardinal’s attire, Charles, silently appeared beside Avril: ”Holy Daughter, Poseidon’s strength is formidable.”

”Can you deal with him?” Avril slowly opened her mouth to ask.

”Yes, Poseidon has just entered the late stage of mythical level, killing him is not a difficult task.” Charles said with a calm tone.

”Then I’ll leave Poseidon to you; keep an eye on him. If he dares to sabotage our plan, kill him.”

”Yes, Holy Daughter.”

Charles nodded, and seeing Avril remain silent, his figure disappeared again from sight.

Watching Charles leave, Avril’s stunningly beautiful face revealed a frosty smile: ”Judge, the game has begun. I want to see how you respond, how you face this inevitable death. Everything you did to me last night, I’ll keep in mind, and I’ll certainly make you die without a burial place to vent my heart’s hatred.”

As her words fell, Avril’s body erupted with overwhelming murderous intent. An intense cold emanated from her, spreading all around, making people almost feel like they were thrown into an ice cellar, their whole body engulfed in biting icy chills.

...

In Jiangnan, within the Bamboo Forest Courtyard.

A gentle breeze blew past, the bamboo forest rustling softly. Combined with the antique courtyard within, this scene resembled a paradise, making one linger nostalgically.

At this moment, in the bamboo forest, Old Master Lu stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the flowing water under the bridge. Behind him, Lu Haoyue stood respectfully, sunlight piercing through the bamboo crevices, scattering on the ground in dotted patches, quite eye-catching.

”Haoyue, you came to bid farewell to me today, didn’t you?” Old Master Lu suddenly spoke.

”Yes, I’m planning to head to Beijing this afternoon. If I delay any longer, I’m afraid something might happen in Beijing. So I’m here now, specifically to say goodbye to you, grandfather, and then head to Beijing immediately.” Lu Haoyue lightly nodded after hearing Old Master Lu’s words.

”Haoyue, since you’ve decided, go ahead and do it! I only hope you are careful on this journey, and that you and Tianxing both return from Beijing safely and unharmed.” Old Master Lu took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at Lu Haoyue, heavily speaking.
