The humanoid form of Leviathan was glaring specifically at Mark, mistaking him for the divine archer of the past, "Back then, you might have bested me with your cheap tricks but this time, it is going to be different." He roared. The anger was evident on his face.

While the demons confused his words and even Bael couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at Mark, Chang'e hurriedly defended him before the situation went out of control, "He is not the one who you think he is, Hou Yang."

Her words instantly attracted Leviathan's attention, especially that name. "It's you Chang'e, the betrayer's shameless wife who stole my prize to become immortal." His gaze of hatred lessened a bit, but it was still there as he looked at the Moon Goddess.

"Mind your words, Hou Yang," Chang'e frowned, offended by his words, "The Elixir of Immortality isn't something the likes of a demon can get its hands on. Moreover, you never truly fulfilled your promise of solving the crisis. My husband is the one who destroyed the nine suns. What did you do other than merely holding back the Sun God for a few minutes?

Adding on top of that, you purposely killed hundreds of thousands of mortals during your fight with my husband. You certainly don't deserve such a treasure."

"Preposterous…" He roared, releasing a sonic wave and pushing away everyone.

Mark and Marbas blasted away the farthest while Bael was unaffected in the least. Chang'e, on the other hand, pushed back a few meters but that's it. Meanwhile, Alloces flew back in the direction of the wave to catch Mark in mid-air, hundreds of meters away.

"Ugh… this is why I was against meeting the guardian. Why do you have to insist, Master Lu? You are seriously tired of living and now you will drag me to the death with you," Duke Alloces scolded Mark without holding back.

Mark spat out a mouthful of blood and wiped his mouth, "He is too strong."

Chang'e flew into the sky and took out the Orb of time, getting ready to battle. Bael witnessed it and his eyes widened in realization, "That's a cosmic orb that reeks of time. No wonder she decided to give me her divine essence. What a cunning goddess."

Meanwhile, Leviathan glared at Chang'e, "So, you have come prepared, Chang'e. But, this won't be enough to take me down."

Chang'e replied, "I'm not here to take you down. I want my husband's soul back. Release him and I will go in peace."

"Huh? Houyi's soul?" This time, it was Leviathan's turn to be taken aback by her words. He took a glance at Mark and then at her, letting out a grin, "If you can defeat me, I'll give you the answer. But, you must have something to lose, right?"

Leviathan's hand was stretched to the side. A powerful suction force erupted from his palm, traveling in a narrow straight path and striking Mark. The latter opened his inventory and was about to take out the divine throne to raise his cultivation temporarily but found himself flying toward the enemy, unwillingly without being able to put up resistance.

Just two seconds passed away and Mark's neck was in the hands of Leviathan, taking everyone by surprise. "I won't even transform into my true form. If you can't defeat me despite it, then this mortal will be killed under my hands."

Leviathan then freed Mark from his grip but poured demonic energy around him, imprisoning him in a floating barrier.

*Cough* Cough*

"This damn snake…" Mark was angered. He swiftly took out the divine throne that was in the form of a machine gun from his inventory and roared in his head, "Ark, Open Skill list."

Chang'e gritted her teeth, "you evil fiend…" She poured her divine energy into the orb, almost consuming a quarter of her reserves, and unleashed the ability of the orb, "Freeze."

The entire world was frozen in time; Leviathan, Bael, Marbas, Mark, and Alloces, every single one of them just frozen in their places as the orb glowed in bright green.

Chang'e, the only one who could move in this situation, took this opportunity to rush forward and conjured a sword made of pure divine energy, using another quarter of her reserves in the process to cleave off the barrier into two, thereby freeing Mark, and grabbing him in the end.

A moment later, the Time was unfrozen. Mark found himself in the embrace of the Goddess while she created distance between them and the enemy.

"Ahhh…" Mark screamed in surprise as he suddenly saw the Goddess' face up close. She freed him and he floated in the air. "Are you alright?" She asked, letting out a heavy breath.

Mark looked at her and then the Leviathan, who didn't have much reaction except for a deep frown on his face. "You used the orb to free me?" He asked.

Letting out another deep breath, Chang'e nodded, "Yeah, although using this is too energy-consuming. My reserves were already cut to half."

"You…" Mark was stunned for a moment.

"No need to thank me. I got you here. Keeping you safe is my responsibility," Chang'e let out a pleasant smile.

However, in the next second, the smile wiped off her face as Mark suddenly shouted as if he was frustrated, "You idiot Goddess. You wasted half of your reserves for a stupid thing? You lost your golden opportunity to win this fight. Now, he will be prepared against the Orb of Time."

"Idiot?" Chang'e's forehead veins popped up, and his sudden change of attitude triggered her, "How dare you call me that, you ungrateful mortal? I saved your life and you pay me back with an insult?"

Mark argued back, raising his tone even further while pointing his finger at Bael who stood there on the islet like a statue, "I had a contract with that guy. He won't let me die anyway. Even if he doesn't help, I have certain trump cards to escape with my life. Why else would I come here? Do you think I put my life in your hands?

Moreover, if you had the power to cut off that prison barrier, you should have simply aimed at Leviathan's neck instead, when he least expected. This battle would have ended by now."

"That much power won't be enough, you foolish mortal," Chang'e shouted back like a triggered woman, without caring about her identity as a graceful goddess.

Mark counter-argued, "Then, you should have used more reserves, go all out. Or should have stabbed his eyes to make him blind? You lived for thousands of years and a Deity, for god's sake. Don't you atleast have that much battle awareness?"

Everyone felt strange about Mark's sudden change of attitude. Sure, he could be frustrated that the Moon Goddess might have missed a good opportunity because she put her priorities on saving him, but isn't he going too far?

With no surprise, his words only increased Chang'e's anger even more.

"Argh… you are so annoying…"

In a fit of anger, she made a fist and gave a punch to his abdomen, blasting him dozens of meters away.

Fortunately, as Mark's cultivation has temporarily improved to the immortal realm, he didn't feel much pain but surely calmed down a lot. Of course, that doesn't mean he agrees with her. Instead, his impression of the goddess only fell down. Gazing at her from far away, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "This is your true face, Chang'e.

I think that Houyi guy gave you the immortal elixir and sent you away to the moon to escape your violence." Now that he was far away, he even trolled her.

"You…" Chang'e's face turned beet red in anger. Suddenly, she felt regret for making a deal with this fellow. Someone who had contracts with demons might have a shitty personality. She concluded it that way.

Leviathan: "…"

Alloces: "…"

Marbas: "…"

"Now, if you two stop your quarrel; let's get back to the matter, shall we?" Bael took charge, feeling annoyed by his teammates' actions in front of a formidable enemy.

He slowly flew in the air and went near Leviathan, "Your Grace, there is no need for violence when it can be solved through words. Can't you just release Houyi's soul?"
