A few weeks later...
At that very moment, a group of three Demigods passed through the end of a wormhole and arrived at the southernmost central part of the Continent of Beasts.
Upon arrival, the three armored men, two of them level 97 and one level 98, wasted no time in observing the beautiful area they had arrived in. Since they had a mission to accomplish, they headed straight for their destination, which was only five minutes away.
Looking at an area of this Phoenix-influenced area, they soon saw a patch of land where there were many strangely shaped rocks.
There were rocks shaped like trees, rocks shaped like giant beasts, and rocks shaped like smaller creatures that were still large enough to be seen from a distance.
In the middle of this area, where there were many such rocks, was the home of a local tribe, where about a thousand of them were standing around at this very moment.
Seeing the infamous Gorgons of the Continent of Beasts, these three people from the Divine Continent felt nothing special toward them, as they were there to punish them for their recent actions.
After the attack on the Black Plain Empire and the deaths of the subordinates of the members of the Pantheon of Honor, the leaders of that world organization decided to punish the tribe of Gorgons.
Not only had this tribe attacked the territory of an important member of the Pantheon of Honor, but its members had also killed powerful demigods subordinate to the most important members of the organization.
How could they accept everything that had happened around Dry City without giving an answer?
Minos hadn't even had to pressure anyone to convince the council elders to agree to such a mission. They had convinced themselves that the Gorgons' lack of respect and boldness needed to be answered.
On Merritt's orders, this mighty group was there to solve the tribe's latest crime!
Without delay, the three high-ranking men arrived above the Gorgon tribe's headquarters, where the strongest one there, level 97, sensed their arrival and moved immediately.
"Humans..." The tribe leader looked at the three of them, while the few levels 94, 95, and 96 elders who had remained in the tribe after the confrontations with Minos' people also moved around, imagining that they were there to cause trouble.
"Gorgons, we're here on behalf of the Pantheon of Honor." The strongest of the Demigods said aloud, not looking the creatures in the eye, not for fear of turning to stone, but out of sheer contempt for these hideous creatures. "You have committed a terrible crime in the Black Plain Empire!"
"Tsk!" The tribe leader's face immediately turned ugly when she saw that Minos' friends were there to solve his problems for him once again. "That bastard really is a coward. He creates problems for himself but always has friends to help him. First, it was the Phoenixes, then the Dragons, and now you... Who will be next to act against us? The elves?" She said angrily.
"That's right! We've lost several members of our tribe, and there's nothing we can do about Minos Stuart's cowardly actions!"
"We are the right ones here!"
"We only want revenge! Those who fell to our members risked themselves by siding with our enemy, but we never intended to overthrow beings from other races or groups!"
"Minos is our target!"
Several of the strongest in the area voiced their opinions, while the weakest of the tribe on the surface looked up in awe as they saw their elders surrounding the three newcomers.
The three high-ranking Demigods didn't care one bit about what was behind the Dry City incident.
"Gorgons, don't be foolish. It doesn't matter whether you're right or wrong. Against those with power and influence, you have to know when to put your head down and give up.
"Strong are those who can swallow their grudges against those who can destroy them." Said a level 97 Demigod, showing them the reality of this cruel world.
But they should have known better. After all, the Gorgon race was known to use their high-level experts against juniors who dared to act against them.
If a Saint did something against an 8th-stage Gorgon, a Sage from that tribe would appear to punish them. If a Sage did such a thing, a Demigod would be the one to go and resolve the situation. That had been the case for hundreds of thousands of years, and the Gorgons used their terrifying power to oppress their opponents, whether they were innocent or guilty.
Now, in this situation, they had to understand that the tables had turned. Now they were the weaker side being persecuted by the stronger!
After Minos had shown them all his support, they just had to give up their revenge and be strong like the Demigod had just done. That was what they would tell their victims in other situations.
However, they had made the mistake of constantly attacking Minos!
"Today, you will pay for what you have done. Leader of the Gorgons, we are here to obtain your head to Emperor Minos Stuart!" The strongest of them said as he no longer held back his powerful level 98 aura, causing everyone around him to break into a cold sweat as they directed their power into his eyes.
The punishment decided by the Pantheon of Honor for this tribe's latest act was very severe!
In order to pay for their mistakes and not suffer anymore for what had already happened, the leader of the Gorgons would be sacrificed!
"Huh! If you want my head, come on! But it won't be easy!" This level 97 woman said as her eyes glowed a white-red color, and the atmosphere of tension around her reached its maximum.
"Stupid Gorgon!" The strongest man there looked into her eyes as the space behind that creature cracked open as he pointed a hand in that direction.
As the space crack opened, a golden glow shot out as something extremely dense and metallic slowly descended from the crack toward the creature's back.
Divine Guillotine!
He poured a large amount of his spiritual energy into this supreme weapon, using his own creation, his most powerful tool, without giving the Gorgon any room to try the same.
The moment she felt the suppression of a supreme weapon by someone even stronger than her, the leader of the Gorgon tribe immediately paled.
This was a weapon that even she, using her main weapon, would have difficulty facing.
But while she missed the opportunity to strike first, the other two high-ranking Demigods sent by the Pantheon of Honor quickly fused their own techniques to create supreme weapons.
They weren't there to chat or play a friendly game. They were there to carry out the order to assassinate the tribe's leader, and they would use all the power at their disposal to eliminate those who stood in their way!
Giant Hands!
Granite Rain!
And so the battle began, with the Gorgons at a huge disadvantage!
