After the old priest left, Hao Ren nodded to Lily and the others. Shortly after, he took out a signal amplifier from his Dimensional Pocket. He then put the badge on the amplifier’s receptor. That way, he could directly broadcast an encrypted signal from Olympus and even use the limited communication bandwidth of the badge to sense the situation on Mount Olympus.

The first few calls received no response.

Lily’s ears flicked, and she asked, “Is Apollo not home?”

“Maybe he’s charging his phone,” Hessiana said after she thought for a while.

“Stop messing about,” Hao Ren said.

Since the conventional method did not work, Hao Ren had to use a cheat: he proceeded to hack the badge to turn it into a signal transmitter. He then began to eavesdrop on what was happening on the other end.

At first, there was only meaningless interference and static noise in the signal amplifier. But as Hao Ren continuously fine-tuned the frequency, there seemed to be some other sounds in the noise. Slowly, vocals and whistling could be heard from the device.

Hao Ren was excited. He further increased the power of the signal filter and amplified the signal before he clearly heard a voice shouting, “Aargh! I am bleeding!”

Then, there was silence.

The four of them looked at each other. It was awkward, especially Hasse although there were no visible emotions on his paralyzed face. Lily glanced at the old demon hunter sideways and asked, “What is going on?”

“It seems that I have just killed Apollo.” Hasse’s voice sounded weird. “Well, at least now we know the situation on Mount Olympus. I in history lead an army and has breached Olympus’s last line of defense. It is the end of Olympian celestial family.”

Hao Ren jumped to his feet. “Why were you so enthusiastic about bringing down Olympus? And the timing could not have been worse.”

Hasse spread out his hand. “I was just doing my job back then. How was I going to know we would need those guys today?”

“Mr. Landlord, let us just go to another temple.” Lily nudged Hao Ren. “Not everyone on Mount Olympus has died. Someone will answer the phone.”

“Forget about that.” Hao Ren sighed. “When Hasse’s forces break through the last line of defense of Olympus, that means the stalemate phase of the war is over. At this time, Mount Olympus has been in a state of chaos. Do you think those Greek gods still have time to answer your call from the human world? They are dying.”

Hessiana’s mouth twitched. “We should not have depended on others. We do it ourselves.”

Hao Ren said nothing. He was a little upset. Getting help from the gods was his best bet to find Vivian in the Mythological era. It did not matter whether Vivian and the gods were singing Kumbaya or fighting tooth and nail, at least the gods knew the whereabouts of Vivian. Raven 12345 had also suggested before he came.

It seemed that Hao Ren had fallen at the first hurdle. What happened right now was out of his expectation. The demon hunters had overrun Mount Olympus. Even though when the Olympus family had been at war with the demon hunters for the past ten years, they still kept an eye on Vivian’s movement. But the fall of Mount Olympus had shattered Hao Ren’s plan.

Hao Ren and his team had come at the worst time, right when Apollo cried out ‘I am bleeding.”

Everyone came out of the room. The old priest, who looked nervous, seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He scurried up and asked, “Almighty gods, have you all gotten the answer you want? Did the great sun god issue me any order?”

Hao Ren felt too sorry to tell the old priest that the sun god he was worshipping had just died. “We have talked to Apollo, but he did not send you any word. The gods there have been busy lately, probably they would not have time for the human world for the time being.”

The old priest bowed his head in awe. “The gods must be busy governing the heavens and the earth.”

Governing my foot, Hao Ren said to himself, there has been genocide going on.

Lily looked at the old man in a priest’s robe. It was not difficult to see how helpless and lost the old man was without divine providence for the past ten years. The otherworldling gods might not be of any good, but for the priests who had dedicated their lives to the gods, living around the gods were their lives.

As Apollo’s cry ‘I am bleeding’ came to mind, Lily could not help but say, “Old man, have you ever thought of getting another job?”
