"Resist the tyranny and dominance of the Eastern Divine Realm! Reject the reemergence of the Eastern and Western God War!"

"Is it necessary for the Eastern Heavenly Court to make such a fuss over the death of just a divine beast? Their perspective is too narrow!"

"Exactly! It's just an animal! It died, so what?"

...

From Huaguo Mountain to this unfamiliar city, I couldn't control my anger upon hearing the ignorant words of these mortals.

The Kirin Clan, a divine beast, sacrifices itself whenever there is a great calamity in the world, eliminating evil!

Otherwise, do these mortals truly believe that the Eastern lands are protected by heaven and earth and will never face disasters?

It's only because the Kirin Clan has always borne the burden for them!

This world owes the Kirin Clan too much!

But who could have expected that the last orphan of the Kirin Clan would die in such a ridiculous manner!

However, before I could respond, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the distant sky, and a figure exuding boundless divine radiance slowly stepped out from the celestial realm!

He was like a blazing sun, just standing there, causing the earth to crack and a scorching heatwave to sweep across the land, making countless beings wail and weep in agony!

A blood-soaked, riddled-with-wounds corpse fell heavily from the sky, raising an immense cloud of dust upon impact!

My pupils contracted!

That was... the divine corpse of a Kirin. How dare they!

An overwhelming rage ignited within me, almost uncontrollable!

"I am Apollo, the God of Light! The Eastern wild god acts arrogantly, triggering the beginning of a divine war, an unforgivable sin!

"However, I am benevolent. Today, I have specially returned the corpses of your Kirin. Take care of yourselves!"

Apollo's lips curled slightly, his hands raised, a look of pity and sympathy on his face.

How laughable! Truly laughable! What nonsense about benevolence!

He slaughters Kirin without a word! He disregards the gods of the Eastern lands!

Just mouthing off about righteousness and morality, does he really think he can wash away the blood on his hands?!

Clearly, he just wants to humiliate the gods of the Eastern lands!

As I looked at the almost unrecognizable remains, the fire of anger in my chest became almost uncontrollable!

"By the way, I almost forgot to bring back my spoils of war!"

Just as Apollo was about to leave, his lips curled slightly, as if he remembered something. He abruptly turned back and ruthlessly severed the head of the Kirin's corpse with a single stroke!

At that moment, everyone glared in anger but was powerless!

They were just mortals... How could they contend with Apollo, the God of Light?

"Beautiful eyes..."

Apollo held the severed head of the Kirin in his hand, gazing at the mortals below with a sneer.

"Does such a simple thing make you lose your composure? I truly look forward to the day when I slaughter all the Eastern divine beasts..."

However, before he could finish his words, a deafening explosion suddenly occurred in the sky!

Boom!

A golden cudgel, towering like a colossal pillar, accompanied by boundless winds and thunder, smashed fiercely toward the radiant sky!

Apollo's pupils contracted, fear filling his face. Before he could even react, he was ruthlessly struck down into the depths of the earth!

From above the clouds, I slowly descended, my eyes still icy, my hatred unabated:

"Damn you, so-called God of Light... How dare you boast of exterminating the divine beasts of the Eastern lands?

"Today, I return the Kirin's corpse to you, but you won't leave without a scratch!"

Flames of divinity ignited in my eyes as I took a step forward, causing the sky to burst into blazing flames!

"Damn it! You damned monkey! How dare you hurt me!

"You despicable creature! You have committed a monstrous crime and yet remain unaware! Today, I will make you atone alongside the billions of mortals in this city!"

A glowinggolden staff materialized in my hand, emanating a terrifying aura. With a swing of the staff, I launched myself towards Apollo, determined to avenge the fallen Kirin and protect the Eastern lands from his tyranny.

As I clashed with Apollo, the impact created shockwaves that shattered buildings and tore through the surrounding landscape. Our battle raged on, shaking the heavens and earth.

Each strike was infused with my righteous fury, channeling the power of the Kirin Clan and all the divine beasts that had sacrificed themselves throughout history. I could feel their spirits standing beside me, lending me strength.

As the battle intensified, the divine energy radiating from the clash of our powers threatened to consume everything in its path. Mortals fled in terror, seeking shelter from the cataclysmic confrontation between two godlike beings.

But I couldn't afford to be distracted. I focused all my energy on overwhelming Apollo, exposing his arrogance and hypocrisy. With each blow, I aimed to shatter his false facade of benevolence and expose him for the bloodthirsty tyrant he truly was.

As the battle reached its climax, I unleashed a devastating technique inherited from the Kirin Clan. The staff in my hand glowed with blinding light as I channeled the energy of the divine beasts and directed it towards Apollo.

A deafening roar echoed through the heavens as a colossal figure materialized behind me—a majestic Kirin with golden scales and a blazing mane. Its eyes burned with righteous fury, and its horn emitted a radiant glow.

The Kirin's spirit merged with mine, amplifying my power a hundredfold. With a final, decisive strike, I unleashed a devastating blast of divine energy that engulfed Apollo, obliterating his form and dispersing his malevolent presence.

The skies cleared, and a profound silence settled over the city. The mortals emerged from their hiding places, awe and gratitude filling their eyes as they witnessed the defeat of the tyrant who had threatened their world.

I stood amidst the ruins, the golden staff gradually dissipating in my hand. Exhaustion washed over me, but a sense of fulfillment and justice prevailed.

The fallen Kirin had been avenged, and the Eastern lands had been protected. The memory of the divine beasts would live on, their sacrifice honored and their legacy preserved.

But the battle was not over. The struggle against those who sought to dominate and oppress the Eastern lands would continue. As the last descendant of the Kirin Clan, I vowed to carry the torch of resistance, defending the divine and mortal realms from any who dared threaten their harmony.

With renewed determination, I looked toward the horizon, ready to face whatever challenges awaited, for the spirit of the Kirin burned within me, an eternal flame of righteousness and courage.
