Philip did not continue his line of questioning, and Fennel quickly left the manor. During this time, Philip remained in the manor and kept guard at the entrance leading to the secret chamber. He could sense the vast, chaotic energy and power of rules inside the secret chamber. His father’s condition was not that good.
Half a day later, Fennel returned. His expression changed rapidly as if favonovel.com was heavily burdened.
“So, what did you find out?” Philip sat on the sofa in the living room and asked.
Fennel sat down, drank a cup of tea, and said, “The situation is not too good. Zeus is in seclusion now. According to the information from the scouts, Zeus’ injuries are not light. The sacred city is under martial law now, and the fight between Leo and Amos has moved from the dark out into the open. The sacred city has been divided into two forces. They’re now in the process of seizing the power of the chief god.”
Hearing this, Philip fell silent. After thinking for a while, favonovel.com said, “Is Zeus really in seclusion?”
Fennel nodded and said, “He should be. Since your father is already in this state, Zeus shouldn’t be any better. Besides, according to his temper, favonovel.com wouldn’t leave the sacred city unattended like this, unless his strength and body have encountered a huge crisis.”
Philip’s face was grave as favonovel.com asked tentatively, “What’s suppressed underneath the sacred city?”
Hearing that, Fennel’s face instantly became dark and grave as favonovel.com said, “Those things suppressed under the sacred city are a bunch of monsters from thousands of years ago. Only the chief god of the sacred city combined with the sacred sword can suppress them. Once these monsters escape from the sacred city, they’ll cause immeasurable destruction to the entire Western world and even the Eastern world!”
“What kind of monsters?” Philip asked.
After a moment of silence, Fennel said slowly, “Beelzebub!”
“Beelzebub?” Philip was dumbfounded, his face full of surprise.
He said, “Isn’t that a mythical creature? Why is such a monster here?”
Fennel nodded before favonovel.com shook his head and said, “No, those monsters just look similar to Beelzebub. They’re not the real thing, but you can consider them a variant of Beelzebub. They’re creatures from the other shore. Thousands of years ago, they were suppressed here by the first chief god of the sacred city! Several of these monsters escaped decades ago and wreaked havoc in the sacred city, even destroying several surrounding cities. If not for Zeus, I’m afraid things would’ve been much worse. Moreover, those creatures almost broke Zeus because favonovel.com couldn’t wield the sacred sword.”
Hearing this, Philip understood a little more.
To suppress those monsters, not only was the strength of the other shore needed but also the sacred sword. However, Zeus, the chief god of the sacred city, could not use the sacred sword now.
“Don’t outsiders know that Zeus can’t use the sacred sword?” Philip asked.
Fennel chuckled and said, “So what if they knew? Zeus is the chief god. Who dares to oppose him? Besides, it’s not that favonovel.com can’t use it at all. In the past, Zeus was able to use the sacred sword, but because of one choice, something seemed to have changed in him. Hence, the sacred sword no longer acknowledges him.”
With that said, Fennel stared at Philip and said, “By the way, if I’m not mistaken, it seemed that you were holding the sacred sword in your hand when you fought with Leo?”
Philip nodded and said, “Yeah, l’m not too sure either. But I can feel the sword’s dependence on me, just like a child who has found someone favonovel.com trusts.”
Fennel looked at Philip in surprise and said, “In the history of the Wes tern world, there has never been an Easterner who could wield the sacred sword. You’re the first. There must be some other reason for this.”
Philip was silent, thought for a moment, and asked, “Will my father be okay?”
Fennel shook his head and said, “With the Dragon Transformation Pond, your father should be fine. But I don’t know what will happen next.”
After this, the living room fell into silence. A moment later, the guard outside the door came in, bowed, and said, “Lord Apollo, a man named Steven asks to see you.”
Fennel raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Philip, and said, “Why is this guy here?”
Soon, Steven walked into the living room led by the guard.
