Chapter 2218

"This is..." "Rashomon sanctuary!" Artemis was imprisoned by the divine steel. She struggled desperately, using all her strength to blast away the divine steel cage. Unfortunately, although sweeping everything in its way, her power had no effect on these divine steel. In fact, she also turned the water-blue curved moon around her into a scimitar and slashed fiercely at the divine steel. All her attacks seemed to hit the void, however. Not even a sound could be made, as though this divine steel was non-existent. However, it managed to imprison her body. At this moment, Artemis finally understood. Her sister, Athena, pretended to lead her into the Sunset Shrine. She wanted to stand in this position, to get the crystal key. "Damn... damn, Athena, you're still as cunning as a fox!" Hence, she gave up on cutting the divine steel. By this point, she knew very well that she was unable to open the Rashomon sanctuary with her ability. It was a spatial cage between the real and the unreal. Unfortunately, Artemis was not good at the spatial domain. Using brute force was simply ineffective. Athena coughed a few times and vomited a mouthful of blood. Holding her scepter, she stood up. "Artemis, you will understand me." "You are crazy. You must be crazy,” screamed Artemis. “You actually destroyed the flesh of my father to capture me and put on a show? This body of a female puppet immortal can't withstand your divine power. You won't be living long." Athena laughed. "As long as you’re safe, it doesn't matter what happens to me." "Crazy, insane, psycho!" Artemis shouted frantically. Athena was known as the goddess of wisdom, and her methods were boundless. So, for the two thousand years she was trapped in this infernal realm, Artemis was very careful with this sister. This time, seeing that she was about to die, with her physical body destroyed and perished, the tight strings in her heart finally loosened, and she picked up the crystal key. Unexpectedly, it was actually still a checkmate, a situation laid by Athena at the cost of her own life. "Why can't you understand? Why can't you understand me?" "The previous world is doomed to perish. The undead queen is the future of the earth. The reopening of the Sanctuary is just around the corner. Don't you want to save your brother?" "Athena, let go of me. I have a way to make you live again." Athena merely shook her head. "At a time like this, even reopening the sanctuary would be pointless." She took a deep breath. Slowly, she stood up. Her purple hair danced gently. The cracked skin on her body quickly healed up, and her bloody appearance suddenly turned to the original flawless purple-haired beauty she was as if some self-cleaning supernatural ability had been used. "You… cheated again?!" "Athena, you are but a drama queen. I really doubt anything real is left in that body of yours." After seeing this, Artemis was about to explode in a fury. Liar, big liar. With her intelligence, how could she never keep up with this sister? Abominable, too abominable. Athena laughed as she heaved the golden scepter in her hand. A wave of golden divine power swept out, and she opened her mouth, screaming, "Come back my sacred earth!" Outside the shrine was Alex, who was playing dead. He had long ago taken the Chaos Bell into the mind palace, or rather, the Chaos Bell failed to withstand the temptation of the Chaos Tree. It then ran away to the mind palace itself. As for the soul connection between Donovan and the Chaos Bell, it was automatically severed. What? As a magic weapon, how could one cut the connection with the master alone? Wasn’t this a rebellion? But, the Chaos Bell was a super-powerful existence with self-awareness. And Artemis was right about one thing—the Chaos Bell was indeed broken. There were several cracks on it, and not only was it now less effective, but its lifespan was also failing.
