Chapter 523: Divine Punishment and Mortals’ Struggle

A strong divine power suddenly erupted from Hekato's body, spreading rapidly like a tsunami, and the air around her seemed to tremble under her divine power. Her body was wrapped in a layer of dazzling light, as if connected to the sky, and the ground trembled slightly, as if the earth was welcoming her anger. Her eyes flashed with violent divine power, and the bow in her hand was fully drawn, and divine power condensed on the tip of the arrow, like a dazzling star.

"The arrogance of mortals must be cut off! I, Hecate, the arrow god of Ares, will let you experience the wrath of God!" Her voice was low and full of murderous intent, as if it came from ancient mythology. Hecate's ultimate move was as concise and powerful as a proverb in Greek mythology - "Arrow of Ares: God's punishment is coming!" She swung the bowstring suddenly, and a huge arrow of light shot out from her hand, rushing straight towards the Scarlet Witch with the momentum of destroying the world.

Seeing this, the Red Witch's eyes were filled with determination and anger. She responded loudly: "You are not the only one with divine power, Hecate! The fate of mortals is in our own hands!" As she shouted, red chaotic energy exploded around her body, like a burning flame. She raised her hands high, and the energy continued to condense, gathering into a powerful barrier to meet Hecate's light arrow.

The two earth-shattering forces met in mid-air, and instantly burst into dazzling light, as if the sun exploded in the air. The shock wave spread in all directions, and everything around was torn apart by this terrible force. The stone pillars outside the temple collapsed one after another, and the ground shook violently, as if the end of the world was coming. The two forces were deadlocked in the air, and a suffocating sense of oppression broke out.

Black Panther, Hawkeye, and Black Widow saw that the two sides had a moment of gap in their fight, looked at each other, and acted quickly. Black Panther used his speed to quickly approach Hecate and launched a fierce attack from the side, while Hawkeye aimed at Hecate's wrist and quickly shot an explosive arrow that hit her weapon directly. Black Widow deftly went behind Hecate, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

The three attacked almost at the same time. Hecate's defense was broken in an instant. She was forced to step back several steps. The light arrow fell from her hand. The huge impact made it difficult for her to regain her balance for a while. Black Panther punched her in the side, Hawkeye's arrow hit her wrist accurately, and Black Widow launched a swift attack from behind. With the joint efforts of the three, Hecate was unable to resist for a while and fell heavily to the ground.

Hekato's body rolled on the ground for several times, and her breath was temporarily weak, as if she had suffered a serious blow. Seeing this, Black Panther, Hawkeye and Black Widow were ready to take advantage of the victory and knock her down completely. Black Widow rushed forward swiftly, with the electric baton in her hand flashing blue light, ready to give the final blow.

However, at this moment, Hekato's aura suddenly burst out again, as if she was reborn from hell. Her body was once again wrapped in violent divine power, and her eyes flashed with indomitable anger and indomitable spirit. As she roared, a powerful shock wave instantly erupted from her body, and the three were immediately blown away, falling heavily in the distance, and fell into the ruins, their bodies covered with scars.

Hekato slowly floated up from the ground. Her armor was torn, and her messy hair covered half of her face, revealing a furious expression. She was trembling all over, as if she was endlessly angry after being provoked by mortals. Her voice was filled with strong curses: "You insignificant mortals! How dare you fight against the gods! Ares will personally punish you, and your audacity will be cursed forever! Crawl at my feet and beg for mercy, lowly soul!"

Hekato's voice was filled with endless anger and contempt. Her divine power gathered again, preparing to launch a more powerful attack. The light in her hands continued to grow stronger, as if every move she made carried the power of destruction. The surrounding space seemed to be distorted by her divine power, and the air was filled with an ominous atmosphere. Her eyes were filled with the flames of revenge, and she vowed to completely destroy the enemy in front of her.

Witch Wanda staggered to her feet, blood from her head flowing down her forehead, staining her cheeks red. She wiped the blood with the back of her hand, her eyes showing unprecedented rage, as if she was wrapped in angry energy. Her chaotic energy began to surge out of her body uncontrollably, the red light became more and more intense, dancing in the air like a burning flame. Her eyes turned red, and anger burned her soul, as if she wanted to completely destroy everything in front of her.

"You damn god, how dare you look down on me! I don't give a fuck what kind of shitty god you are, do you think you can win? I will beat you so hard that you won't even recognize yourself!" Wanda gritted her teeth, her voice seemed to echo in the broken temple, every word was filled with unyielding and anger.

Chaos energy exploded around her, and she floated in the air. The energy turned into waves, spreading wildly with her as the center. Her power had exceeded the limit of control, and the air was filled with destructive power fluctuations. The surrounding stone pillars collapsed one after another under the impact of her energy.

Hekato also stood up from the ground, her body covered with wounds, but her eyes were still full of arrogance and anger. Her divine power began to gather again, and her body was radiating a layer of dazzling golden light, and she looked like a real mythical being. "Mortal, your anger is just a futile struggle! Facing the gods, you can only face destruction!" She roared, and the divine power around her suddenly burst out. The giant bow and arrow appeared in her hand again, as if carrying the power to destroy the world.

Hekato's divine power and the Scarlet Witch's chaotic energy collided in the air, the two forces entangled with each other, neither giving in. The surrounding space seemed to be torn apart by this force, and strong winds blew up. It seemed that only these two violent forces were left in the world in a fierce confrontation.

"Come on! Let's see who is the real strong one!" Wanda roared, the chaotic energy continued to expand, the red light illuminated the entire temple, and the surrounding buildings collapsed one after another in her energy fluctuations.

Hecate's eyes also flashed with violent divine power. Her last arrow flashed with golden light, as if she had gathered all her strength. She suddenly pulled the bowstring and shot it fiercely at the Scarlet Witch.

The two forces collided in the air, making a loud noise that shook the earth. "Boom!" A huge explosion shook the entire temple, and the destructive energy wave instantly hit the surroundings. The temple's buildings collapsed instantly, the stone pillars collapsed, and the ground cracked. Countless rubble and dust flew in the explosion, as if the end of the world had come.

The figures of Scarlet Witch and Hekato were swallowed by the huge shock wave at the same time. The entire temple was instantly reduced to ruins. The violent energy swept everything, and even the sky seemed to be torn apart. Both of them were blown away by this huge force and fell into the broken ruins. The divine power and chaotic energy gradually dissipated, leaving only the devastated ruins of the temple.

The scene of both sides suffering losses filled the air with a depressing atmosphere. Everything around seemed to have fallen into silence. Only the ruined temple swayed in the breeze, indicating the cruelty and destructiveness of this fierce battle.

Spartacus glanced at Falcon, Quicksilver and War Machine who were lying on the ground not far away, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth. His eyes flashed with the arrogance and disdain of a warrior, as if he had foreseen the final victory. His hands tightly grasped the two-handed battle axe stained with the blood of the enemy, and the axe blade reflected a faint light. The cruel breath seemed to freeze the air.

"Poor mortal, do you really think you can defeat me with these powers? The true power of war cannot be matched by toys like yours!" Spartacus said coldly, his tone full of disdain and contempt for modern technology.

Tony didn't say anything during the confrontation. He just looked at the so-called "mythical" warrior quietly, his expression still cynical. But those who knew him well could feel that Tony's eyes were filled with a certain kind of resolute emotion. His Apocalypse armor began to emit slight energy fluctuations, and blue light flowed from all parts of the armor, as if the armor was responding to the master's final command.

"Do you think you're really going to win?" Tony sneered, his tone full of his usual sarcasm. "Spartacus, a gladiator who was once betrayed by his own men, dares to talk about victory in front of me? You've really lived long enough."

Spartacus frowned slightly. It was obvious that Tony's ridicule had touched his nerves, but he still maintained his arrogant demeanor. "Do you think your words can change anything? Mortal, today you will understand what the anger of the gods is."

After saying that, Spartacus suddenly raised his battle axe, and the divine power on the battle axe began to shine brightly, and the sense of oppression in the air quickly increased. Huge energy gathered around him, as if the power between heaven and earth was gathering towards him.

Tony smiled slightly, slowly put his hands in front of his chest, and his Apocalypse armor instantly switched to "Phoenix Mode". In this mode, the energy light on the surface of the armor suddenly turned into a blazing red, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes. The energy core of the armor flashed with strong pulses of light, Tony opened his arms slightly, and the whole person floated up, as if merging with the sky.

"Well, since you want to try it so much, I will fulfill your last wish." Tony's tone was still full of sarcasm, but his eyes flashed with a calm fighting spirit. His voice was low but firm, as if he was swearing to himself: "Phoenix mode activated."

The energies of the two collided wildly in the air. Spartacus's battle axe flashed with ancient and violent divine power, while Tony's armor exuded unparalleled technological power. These two completely different forces intersected in the air, and the entire battlefield was instantly enveloped by a violent energy shock.

"Now, feel the true power that no mortal man can reach!" Spartacus roared, swung his battle axe violently, and his divine power swept out like a storm, hitting Tony directly with the momentum to destroy the world.

Tony was not to be outdone, and pushed his hands forward suddenly. The energy in Phoenix mode exploded instantly, and the red light turned into a huge energy shock wave to meet Spartacus's attack. The two forces collided violently in the air, making a deafening explosion. The ground shook violently, and gravel flew. The energy fluctuations made the air around them seem to be burning.

"Do you really think you are invincible?" Tony gritted his teeth, his voice full of indomitable spirit and challenge, "History is not as kind as you think, Spartacus. You are just defined by failure once again!"

Spartacus's expression suddenly became ferocious, and his divine power burst out again. His battle axe slashed at Tony with a breath of destruction. However, Tony's armor, under the blessing of Phoenix mode, provided continuous energy support. Tony tightly grasped the core energy of the armor and faced Spartacus' attack without giving in.

"Bang!" A huge energy wave erupted again, and the two were knocked back by the impact. Spartacus's battle axe shattered in the impact, and the violent divine power began to dissipate. Tony's Apocalypse armor also began to crack, and the alarm of the energy system buzzed in his ears.

The two men fell to the ground, their bodies covered with wounds and their breathing became disordered, but there was stubbornness and unyielding spirit in each other's eyes.

"I... haven't lost yet." Spartacus panted and forced himself to stand up, with arrogance still on his face.

Tony also struggled to stand up, with a tired but determined smile on his face: "Yeah, who knows who will win in the end?"

The battlefield was completely silent, as if everyone was holding their breath waiting for the final outcome of this battle. Although both of the two warriors were already wounded, neither of them was willing to give up easily.
