"What are you laughing at?"

Thor asked suspiciously, puzzled.

"The woman you're talking about! I released her. Why, do you have a problem with that?"

Yang Yan said with a smile.

"What! You... you released her?"

Thor stared at Yang Yan in astonishment, stutteringly asking:

"You, you, you—why did you release that woman? Why?"

"Do you know what kind of threat releasing her poses to this world?"

By the end, Thor was already roaring.

Golden lightning crackled around his body, exuding immense power.

Unfortunately, it didn't seem to affect Yang Yan at all. He just smiled calmly, as if looking at a child.

Under such a gaze, Thor's emotions gradually calmed down.

"No way... how could you possibly release her? You know my father sealed her with the Lock of Absurdity. How did you unlock that thing?"

"Are you talking about this?"

Yang Yan flipped his hand, producing a jingling sound.

He held up the Lock of Absurdity in front of Thor and shook it gently, the smile on his face growing even brighter.

"How could this be? It makes no sense, absolutely no sense!"

Even with the item right in front of him, Thor still couldn't quite believe it was all real.

"Okay, I've already told you, there's nothing impossible in this world anymore."

"Now you'd better figure out how to deal with those guys! If you can't manage, then I'll take action."

"Speaking of which, my relationship with those guys isn't exactly friendly! It's the perfect chance to settle some old scores."

Yang Yan coldly remarked while gazing at the five figures in black robes in the distance.

"I don't know where those guys came from, but they're strong. Before, I'd never heard of such people existing."

Thor said, and suddenly shouted, raising Mjolnir ready to rush forward.

"Alright, alright! Take your broken hammer and watch from the sidelines. I'll handle this."

Yang Yan disdainfully glanced at the blood-covered Thor, then with a flash, joined the fray.

Though the Goddess of Death was powerful, her gap with Thor wasn't significant.

Since Thor was significantly injured by these guys, what could Hel, sealed for so many years, possibly accomplish?

"That woman should be our target, the God of Death."

After some skirmishing, the black-robed figures recognized Hel's identity.

"Haha! We've been searching high and low, and now she comes to us effortlessly!"

Another black-robed figure laughed.

"Looks like we won't get her alive. To avoid any long nights of dream-filled dangers, act quickly, kill her, and take her Divine Format, completing our task."

Another black-robed figure loudly reminded.

With these figures launching more frenzied attacks, Hel began having difficulty defending herself.

Wounds rapidly appeared all over her body.

Hel's body had regenerative healing factors.

This ability endowed her with unimaginable healing powers.

Yet at this moment, she still suffered significant injuries.

Because the opponents' attacks were so dense and rapid, her body's healing couldn't keep pace with the damage.

"So, who are you saying you want to kill?"

As they prepared for a final, lethal assault on the wounded Hel, a figure suddenly shielded her, asking faintly.

"Moonlight?"

The black-robed figures immediately recognized the owner of the voice.

Two years ago, because of Yang Yan, their organization was critically damaged, suffering great losses, almost reaching the point of collapse.

This had never occurred since the organization's inception.

They had never even imagined it before.

"Moonlight Yang Yan? This guy is one of the legendary Four Emperors, Moonlight?"

Beside them, Thor, who had caught up, was also stunned, looking at Yang Yan in astonishment.

"Yo! Long time no see, you bastards."

Yang Yan's eyes swept over the black-robed figures, full of playful malice.

"Moonlight Emperor, we didn't provoke you this time! Besides, we apologized after the last incident, mediated by the Arbitration Committee."

"You should know, even if you attack us now, the Arbitration Committee won't let you off."

The leading black-robed figure said coldly while looking at Yang Yan.

"Heh, if apologies worked, why would we need the police?"

"Moreover, attacking you now doesn't matter! I have enough reasons to ensure those guys keep quiet."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

"So you're determined to oppose us? Remember, we aren't soft persimmons you can pinch at will!"

The leading black-robed figure's gaze became icy, his aura surging rapidly.

Earlier, he had no intention of clashing with either Thor or Hel.

Now facing Yang Yan, he had to be on full alert.

"Tsk tsk! Could you stop making it sound so scary? Whether you're a soft persimmon, I'll only know after I pinch."

"As for the rest, no need to say more. Because after I take you down, I'll be slowly processing your souls. Surely I'll know everything by then."

Yang Yan sneered coldly.

"In that case, don't blame us for being rude! Today, we want to experience if Moonlight, one of the Four Emperors, is truly unparalleled in the world as rumored."

The leading black-robed figure said sinisterly, his aura fully emerging, compressing the entire space like a tangible force.

"Indeed! I've long wanted to experience the strength of this generation's Moonlight."

"It's said the new generation's Moonlight is unmatched, and no one's forced out his true strength yet. I want to witness it."

Another black-robed figure slowly stepped forward, speaking excitedly.

"Let's do it! Now that Moonlight is here, we can't hide. Everyone unleashes their strongest power, completes the mission, and quickly leaves."

The leading black-robed figure roared.

"I'll take on Moonlight; the rest is up to you."

The black-robed figure, keen on experiencing Yang Yan's strength, looked at Yang Yan, rubbing his fists.

"Mm! Unleash your strongest power. We'll kill all the others."

The leading black-robed figure agreed without hesitation.

"Understood!"

After his words, his aura exploded with unparalleled intensity.

This force greatly exceeded the leading black-robed figure's, blowing away the surrounding snow-covered woods.
