During the conversation between Demos and Aquaman, Medusa led the team through the side corner door and joined Aquaman's men. She walked quickly to Poseidon's side and whispered:

"Wang, I'm ready on my side. But something happened just now, and he was almost rescued by the gods of Olympus. ”

"Karete?"

Demos was the first to see the figure among the crowd that had worried him for many days, and unconsciously exclaimed again in an affirmative tone: "Carret!"

Demos –

Kareta only responded silently in her heart, but her eyes were already in anticipation with Demos's succession.

Medusa immediately became alert, grabbed Carette by both arms and pulled her to her side, as if she were afraid that she would run away immediately.

"Poseidon, you're too despicable!

Demos scolded angrily.

"No way! I'm not born to refuse a beautiful woman's question. Didn't you ask me, Karette, what kind of good treasure the god of darkness had, and now that I have brought him for you, let him reveal the mystery with his own hands. ”

Under the cold and arrogant gaze of the Sea King, Demos was so nervous that his palms broke out in sweat.

Aquaman brought Carette to the scene, apparently intending to reveal the truth about the Athena Jewel to her. Then once Poseidon gets the gem, both she and I will be killed. Even if she survives, Kareta knows everything, how am I going to deal with her in the future......

Demos was silent, tormented by the assumptions he had made.

Aquaman moved on the right chair, obviously waiting impatiently.

"Don't bother with Demos, hurry up and hand over your things, and from now on you and I can return to the bridge. ”

Demos has to admit that he is now completely in a situation of extreme passivity. In the past, I used to blackmail others on one condition or another, but now I finally taste the taste of being coerced.

But in any case, for now, we must rescue Kareta first!

Thinking of this, Demos stretched out his arms and silently summoned the divine power in his body. At the moment of a moment's blue light flashing between his arms, a crystal ball appeared above his palms. The fire light of the gemstone and the refraction of the crystal ball overlap each other, making it particularly gorgeous.

There was a dead silence in the hall.

All life is captivated by this once-in-a-lifetime scene. No one spoke, no one breathed loudly, as if desperately to keep an eye on the light and the treasure in Demos's hands, lest the slightest missight would become a mirage that would disappear in an instant.

The crystal ball should be the Athena gem that has been replaced as a fake, and this human world operation finally has a clue! But what should I do now?

In his thoughts, Bai Xiu turned his gaze back to Karet, his face grim.

Kareta covered her mouth with her hands in surprise, unable to believe that what was happening in front of her was real. What she's been looking for is in the hands of the dark god.

Demos, it's him again! Why is it him again? Is this the so-called fateful bond?

Kareta felt as if there was an invisible rope between her and him, with him holding one end of the rope and she being tightly wrapped around the other.

Poseidon, the king of the sea, stared at the Athena jewel with an indescribable shock.

He stood up with a slight bow, his eyes fixed on Demos's hands for a long time, and his voice stuttered in great excitement.

"Quick... Triton, go, put... Bring it to the dark god!"

"Yes. ”

Triton agreed, and walked down the steps in a few steps, bypassing the guards and walking in front of Demos.

The handover process went very smoothly.

Aquaman's heart was so excited that he was about to jump out of his chest, and when he saw that Terry had secured the treasure, he simply jumped up from his chair and stood on a high place to urge in an accentuated tone.

"Triton, don't come back soon!"

The boy hurriedly answered and hurried back. Before he could stand firmly beside the Sea King, the crystal ball in his arms was split by him.

Aquaman hugged it, and instantly stopped worrying.

"The Athena Jewel! It is a symbol of victory in the war! The power of the god of war that is related to the fate of the Titans is all mine! I don't have to fear Zeus anymore, I don't have to fear Olympus anymore—"

Aquaman muttered hysterically to himself at the dark sapphire inside the sphere, his excitement had frozen the look on his face, making the surprise he showed always look a little weird and out of shape.

Then he began to laugh maniacally, completely ignoring the identity and physique of the king, and the whole state was extremely insane.

"I've handed over the gem, now I'm going to take Karet!"

Demos didn't have the leisure to listen to Aquaman's emotion, and he reminded in a loud voice.

"That's right, but it's a different situation now, why would you exchange a gem for two people?"

Sea King smiled, and pointed a finger at Bai Xiu, who was beaten and his nose was swollen.

"The life or death of the god Olympus has nothing to do with me!

After Demos finished speaking, his dark sword eyebrows furrowed even deeper. Now he was so nervous that he was afraid that the Sea King would change his mind at any time.

"Well, I will never break my promise, let Kareta pass!"

A sly smile slipped across Aquaman's thin lips, and he turned his head to give instructions to Medusa with his eyes. The basilisk was obedient and let go of Kareta to push her out.

Carette and Demos looked at each other quietly.

In his eyes, she saw more anxiety and uneasiness, and the source of all these negative emotions was only her!

Carette lifted her skirt and walked down the stone staircase of the high platform, slowly moving in front of Demos. She didn't say a word from beginning to end, and her demeanor at this time was like a pool of silent water.

"Come with me. ”

Demos looked at her as she got closer and closer, and after waiting for a few seconds, he only spat out a very short sentence, the meaning of which was simple and straightforward.

There was no response.

Carreta looked at him silently, and suddenly she raised her right arm and slapped it against Demos's cheek—

A crisp sound can be said to be full of strength.

Kareta slapped her hand and immediately swung her arm in reverse, and before everyone could react, the back of her palm was already on the other side of Demos's face.

In a burst of embarrassment, Carette looked at Demos with a serious face, never blinking her eyes.

After being slapped twice, Demos was much more relaxed.

At the beginning, it was she who deliberately concealed the Athena gem from Carret, but now she was the one who gave this treasure to Aquaman from under her nose with her own hands, and it was reasonable for her to be mad, and it was understandable for her to vent.

"I'll get you out of here. Demos said calmly, looking relieved.

"I'm not going to go with you! I'm going to stay at the bottom of the sea!"

"You...... Say what?"

He was stunned by her decisive words, and looked at her in disbelief.

"I already love Sea King, so I decided to stay with him!"

“...... Are you crazy or stupid—"

Carret's surprising composure angered Demos again, and he finally couldn't hold back his shouting.

"The stupid person is you! Women need the protection of the strong, and only those who have power are the real strong! Demos, you don't understand this simple truth? You give away the gem containing the powerful power of the Titans, and you have lost the qualification to become a strong man, I can't choose you again!"

“...... I didn't risk my own safety to dive to the bottom of the ocean in exchange for the Titan Treasure, not to hear you say that I fell in love with another man......!

Looking at Demos's face, which was almost collapsed by pain, Carreta suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her chest, and hurriedly strode back, shouting angrily:

"I'm that kind of woman—it's my job to make men like me! Get out! Get out of the underwater temple! I'll never want to see you—"

Aquaman's back rested on the back of a high, carved gold chair, quietly watching the man and woman arguing from his throne. When he heard Carette shout for Demos to get out, two sharp lights flashed through his eyes.

Beside him stood the basilisen Medusa, who quietly glanced at Aquaman, and then quietly followed his eyes to shift her sharp gaze to Karete, and a flame of jealousy burned in her chest.

"I really didn't expect you to abandon the dark god. ”

Aquaman stood up, holding the crystal ball carrying the Athena Jewel in his right hand, and his haughty voice echoed faintly in the hall.

"But dear Karet, how can I trust you?"

Carette didn't answer, but turned and walked straight to Persew, who was being pulled by the thugs. Grabbing a thug's samurai steel sword, she stopped in front of Bai Xiu, and then stabbed the sharp blade into his chest. The moment she drew her knife neatly, warm blood spurted out like a hot spring, splashing half of Karete's body.

There was another deliberately suppressed whispered exclamation. Except for the perpetrator himself, all the people present were shocked, and probably no one could have expected that a young girl with a delicate appearance would actually do such a vicious heavy hand to her companion.

"Good work, Bai Xiu...... Rest in peace......"

Karete's voice trembled.

In front of her eyes, Bai Xiu's demeanor had returned from stunned to normal. The corners of his mouth trembled in the erosion of the sharp pain, and he struggled to make a sad smile. It seemed that he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, and his body fell to the ground and never moved again.

"Dangchang"——

Kareta threw the bloodied steel knife in her hand to the ground and looked up at Aquaman, waiting for his conclusion.

"Yes, yes, you're finally enlightened!"

Aquaman was really satisfied, if it wasn't for the hand, he could applaud her behavior.

"Get rid of Pacius, and the news of the Athena gem's appearance will not be revealed to Olympus. As for you...... The god of darkness ...... "Kareta climbed several stone steps with her head held high, like a majestic judge, as if she had firmly controlled the life and death of Demos.

"I want you to live! Every day when I open my eyes, I will taste the pain of losing my rights, losing my dignity, and even losing the woman I love. This kind of inextricable pain and loneliness is called, life-not-as-death!"

The words 'life is better than death' were squeezed out of between her teeth one by one, clear and powerful.
