Chapter 258: The First Knight Arrives, Eleven Knights Gather in Tartarus
After untying Honglian who was chained to the cross, the two planned to escape from Tartarus together. After arriving at King's secret room, Zeke was kidnapped by Metz and then thrown against the wall and became unconscious.

After waking up, he was injured and bleeding on his head, and he turned into a knight personality again. He was mocked by King as a scum without any fighting power. In addition, he thought that King had injured him, so he summoned a Cyclops to attack King in anger, but was tied up by the opponent's tentacles and his spiritual power was sucked away. In the end, he was rescued by Cao Yanbing. Zeke, Gavin and Honglian had no fighting power, so they could only watch the battle. During the period, they were affected by the battle many times, but they were all rescued by Cao Yanbing. After Cao Yanbing defeated King, he and Honglian, Gavin and Frode supported him as the new king of the Kingdom Organization.

In a blink of an eye, ten of the twelve knights had arrived. Only the first knight, Zhenjun Yang Jin, and the seventh knight, Fire-eating Lizard Jira, were left.

"This is the first time that they have arrived in such a large crowd. Ten of the Twelve Knights have already arrived."

Saint Butterfly Frode glanced at the hall and smiled with a hint of sarcasm.

"Jira can't leave the Sky God Forest, he can't come."

Honglian responded to Frode with a calm expression.

"I see. Then the only person left who hasn't arrived is the most mysterious First Knight. I haven't met him yet."

Frode said with understanding, a hint of fighting spirit burning in his eyes. Although he didn't care much about the ranking, he still hoped to fight with the so-called First Knight.

"I also want to see what this so-called First Knight is capable of. How dare he rank ahead of me, the God of Death Sai!"

Death God Saiyi said with a gloomy face, his tone showing both dissatisfaction and arrogance brought about by extreme confidence in his own strength. It seemed that he was still brooding over the fact that his position as the First Knight was snatched away, and thus bore a grudge against the new First Knight.

The sky was suddenly covered by thick black clouds, hiding the sun and the moon. The world fell into darkness. The underworld surged, and huge waves continuously hit the ancient city walls, like a battering ram.

In the dark sky of Tartarus, silver-white light gushed out, illuminating the world. The world was thundering with great majesty and divine charm. Even in Tartarus, one could still see that the world outside was still bright and majestic.

There is laughter and thunder between the brows!
Extraordinary thunder is the thunder of heaven and earth, it is the mighty power of the gods, it is the punishment of heaven for all things!!

A silver-white divine light burst out from beside a tall pine-like figure in the distance, like a bolt of lightning that spanned the sky and earth, shining across the entire Tartarus and reaching into the clouds in the sky.

The dark clouds in the sky disappeared, and the world became clear.

In the sky of Tartarus, silver light flashed and silver thunder raged in the thick clouds, as if a giant dragon was roaring. The clouds kept rolling, and in the deep night sky, silver lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the entire world. Every time a thunderbolt struck, there was a deafening roar that shook the earth, as if the whole world was shaking.

The silver lightning was like a dancing dragon, shuttling back and forth between the clouds, sometimes striking the earth, sometimes dissipating in the air. Every flash of lightning would illuminate the earth and everything around it. In this sea of ​​thunder, time seemed to stand still, and there was only the dazzling light and the soul-stirring roar between heaven and earth.

The guards on patrol in Tartarus were all terrified. They were all transformed from the undead, and in the face of the mighty and powerful divine punishment, they were naturally trembling with fear and unable to move.

"What's going on? What a powerful aura!"

The second knight, the God of Death Saiyi, frowned as he looked outside at the bursts of silver light and the silver thunder raging in the sky.

"Saiyi, the one coming is very powerful, you have to be careful!"

Anubis suddenly appeared next to Sai and reminded Sai with a solemn voice.

"Is this the work of the First Knight? It's really powerful!"

Frode stared intently at the figure in the distance that was as tall as a pine tree and exuded an ethereal and fairy-like aura, and muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Xila, do you also want to fight him? Haha, that's what I mean too!"

"This Kingdom organization is really full of hidden talents. Athena, I thought that with you by my side, I would be invincible in this underworld. I never thought that I underestimated the heroes of the world!"

"Now it seems that the guardian spirits of the first three knights are all extraordinary, and none of them are inferior to you. Among these three knights, except for the second knight who gives me a feeling of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside, the other two are extremely oppressive."

Pala's beautiful face was filled with solemnity. When she first joined the Kingdom Organization, she thought she could easily become the first knight, but she did not expect to end up as the fourth knight. She was very indignant at the time, until now when she saw the top three knights, she realized that her loss was not unfair.

Although she had never really fought against these three knights, just from meeting them today, she could feel how powerful and extraordinary these three knights were.

"Pala. You don't have to underestimate yourself. You are also very strong and may not be inferior to them."

Athena appeared behind Pala and comforted the frustrated Pala softly.

That’s right, the guardian spirit of the Kingdom Organization’s new Fourth Knight is Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom in ancient Greek mythology!

Her appearance exudes majesty and wisdom. She wears a shining helmet, and the wings on the helmet symbolize her bravery and flying freedom. Her eyes are sharp and deep, revealing endless wisdom and determination, as if she can see through everything.

She is wearing gorgeous armor, the metallic luster of the armor shines in the sun, and the surface is engraved with complex and exquisite patterns, which not only reflects her strength but also shows her pursuit of beauty. She holds a shield in her left hand, and the shield is engraved with the terrifying head of Medusa, which is full of deterrence. In her right hand, she holds a spear, and the tip of the spear flashes with cold light, symbolizing her unparalleled fighting power.

Athena's shield is called Aegis, which is made of the fur of a ewe Amalthea. Although it is made of goat skin, it has the power of exorcism to drive away all evil and disasters, and even Zeus' thunder cannot damage it at all.

The Aegis was seen as a symbol of clouds. When it was placed in the sky, the sky became dark, and when it was lifted, the sky became clear. However, in many classical sculptures of Zeus, he only holds the thunderbolt, but no shield or breastplate, so the Aegis was mainly believed to belong to Athena.

Medusa is one of the three sisters of the Gorgon (meaning snake-haired monster). They are the daughters of Phorcys, the father of all monsters, and Keto, the mother of sea monsters. They are born with the magic power to turn anyone who sees their eyes into stone. But among the three sisters, only Medusa cannot live forever, while her two elder sisters can live forever, so Perseus was able to cut off Medusa's head later. Perseus killed the monster with the help of gods such as Hermes and Athena. Medusa's head was very dangerous, so Perseus presented Medusa's head to Athena, the goddess of heroes' protection, and Athena installed Medusa's head on the shield Aegis.

The goddess of victory is the incarnation of victory. Nike is the daughter of the Titan Pallas and Styx. Her Roman name is Victoria. She has a pair of wings and a fit body, as if she is floating down from the sky, with her clothes fluttering. Wherever she goes, victory follows. She is also a subordinate of Zeus and Athena. In the Titan War, she turned to Olympus and helped it win.

Athena is tall and elegant, with steady and firm steps, and every movement exudes confidence and strength. Her face is solemn and beautiful, with a warrior's heroic spirit and a feminine beauty. Her long black hair is smooth, falling on her shoulders like black silk, adding a bit of mystery and charm.

She often wears a long cloak that dances in the wind, highlighting her heroic figure and demeanor. Athena is always accompanied by an owl, a symbol of wisdom that often rests on her shoulder, with its eyes sparkling with sharp light, symbolizing wisdom and protection.

Athena, also known as Pallas Athena, is the goddess of wisdom, war and art in Greek mythology, and one of the twelve gods of Olympus. Ancient Greek literature describes Athena as a dignified and beautiful young goddess who has lived in the mortal world since the birth of mankind, taught mankind all kinds of survival knowledge, and created the initial survival tools for mankind.

Athena's name appears in the Linear script of Crete. During the Cretan goddess worship period, she was the palace goddess of Crete and was called the "Lady of the Labyrinth". Athena acquired military characteristics in the Bronze Age and became a victim of an Olympian myth, in which she was described as the daughter of Zeus, jumping out of his head fully armed. Therefore, there are many different accounts of the identity of her parents. The Mycenaean tablets once called her "the queen", and in some later epics and prayers, Athena was often called "the lady, the queen, the mistress".

Athena is the goddess of art and the patron saint of handicrafts. She taught humans the crafts of weaving, cooking, gardening, pottery, painting, music, poetry, dance and other arts. The esoteric prayers call her "the founder of art". She is also the patron saint of military, agriculture, medicine, navigation, and animal husbandry; the goddess of courts and order. She founded the first court in Athens.

Athena longed for independence and insisted on not getting married. She was regarded as one of the three virgin goddesses on Mount Olympus along with Artemis and Hestia. She was the patron saint of unmarried girls and the patron saint of women's labor and childbirth. Greek women affectionately called her "Ergani".

Athena is the daughter of Zeus and the goddess of wisdom Metis. Gaia and Uranus predicted that Metis' future children would be smart and powerful. After giving birth to a bright-eyed daughter, she would give birth to a son who would overthrow Zeus. Zeus was afraid of the troubles caused by his children, so he swallowed both mother and daughter while Metis was still pregnant with Athena. After that, Zeus had a splitting headache and had to ask the god of fire Hephaestus (or Prometheus or Hermes) to split his head. As soon as he raised the axe, to the surprise of the gods, a beautiful goddess with a graceful figure and armed with a sharp weapon jumped out of Zeus's split head, radiant and graceful.

The image characteristics of Athena are: wearing a helmet and crown when fighting, a skirt covered with snake armor, holding a spear or the goddess of victory in the right hand, and an aegis with golden tassels in the left hand.

The air around them suddenly began to be filled with a vast fairy spirit, which had a strange fragrance that was refreshing and made people feel extremely comfortable and peaceful. The fairy spirit was like a dreamy mist, floating softly in the air, glittering under the silver light, like countless stars twinkling in the night sky, intoxicating.

The whole scene is magnificent and mysterious, as if you are in a fairyland. Every thunderbolt, every mist, is full of incredible power and beauty. Standing in such a world, people can't help but feel awe in their hearts, as if they are facing an extraordinary power. This world seems to be full of endless mysteries and miracles, and every inch of space reveals a sacred and inviolable atmosphere.

Surrounded by this fairy spirit, the surrounding scenery also became hazy and mysterious. The mountains in the distance were vaguely visible, as if covered with a layer of silver gauze, looming. The trees and grass nearby were sometimes bright and sometimes dim under the illumination of lightning, forming a series of fantastic pictures. Occasionally, one or two cranes floated in the air, lightly crossing the sky, leaving faint traces, as if they were flying freely in this world.

In this mysterious and magnificent world, a figure in white gradually appeared. He walked lightly and gracefully, as if he had merged with the surrounding immortal spirit. His white clothes fluttered in the wind, as white as snow, and complemented the surrounding silver light, making him look particularly sacred. The young man, with an upright figure and a white dress that fluttered in the wind, came on the clouds like a green pine.

The young man had a smile like the breeze and the bright moon, his black eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were black and white, he had a dragon-like posture and a phoenix neck, he was gentle as jade but noble. He was wearing a moon-white and pure clothes, a mountain-green belt around his waist, a huge green dragon-shaped jade pendant, and a three-foot-long sword. There was a mysterious silver mark between his eyebrows, faintly emitting a deep divine light.

A black dog followed beside him, with a sturdy figure and extraordinary spirit. The black dog's hair was black and shiny, and its eyes sparkled with wisdom. The black dog walked steadily, had sharp eyes, and was extremely majestic, as if it was a rare divine creature in the world. It looked up at the figure in white from time to time, with endless loyalty and trust in its eyes.

On the other side, there was a white-haired girl. She had a beautiful face, fair skin, and a look of otherworldliness between her eyebrows. Her white hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, dancing in the wind, as if silver light was flowing through her hair. Her eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of softness and determination. From time to time, she looked at the figure in white beside her, with endless tenderness and affection in her eyes.

The figure in white, the black dog and the white-haired girl walked together, like a moving painting. They walked slowly and lightly, as if they were looking for something in this fairyland. The surrounding thunder and mist seemed to make way for them, making it even more peaceful and mysterious.

"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time."

A clear, gentle, yet domineering voice came towards everyone in the hall.

Yang Jin seemed to be very far away from them, but in an instant he stepped into the hall. He seemed to be thousands of meters away, yet seemed to be very close.

Yang Jin's clear black and white eyes swept across everyone in the hall, a faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, and he said loudly:

"I am the First Knight, Yang Jin. You can also call me by my title, True Lord!"

"Including me, eleven of the Twelve Knights have come. It's not easy. On the other hand, I have met many colleagues I haven't met before. This makes the trip worthwhile."

Everyone in the field stared at Yang Jin closely, with different expressions and complicated eyes.

"This guy has become even stronger. How can I ever take revenge?"

Count Nora didn't dare to look directly at Yang Jin and could only lower his head, his eyes full of resentment and greed.

Yang Jin seemed to sense Noila's emotions, looked at Noila playfully, and said softly to Noila:
"Little bat, you were quite obedient this time and didn't suck human blood. It seems that my teaching to you last time was effective. You must keep it up in the future. Do you understand? If I find you sucking human blood again, I will definitely kill you!"

His eyes were still clear, his tone was still gentle, yet chilling.

Hearing this, Nora raised her head in anger and stared at Yang Jin, but she didn't dare to say anything back and could only snort angrily.

Jack, who had been hiding behind the scenes and secretly observing the situation, quietly put his legs down, and did not dare to walk into the hall to scold or even persuade Yang Jin. He remained calm on the surface, but he was complaining in his heart.

"I really summoned you back! Master, I really can't live like this anymore!"

His master is the king of the Kingdom Organization, King, whose real identity is Azazel, a fallen god from the Great Thousand World. Back then, he was sealed deep in the church because he rebelled against the God of the Great Thousand World, and was guarded and sealed by Father Arthur.

Later, he gave his power to Honglian, who was eager for revenge, and took the opportunity to curse Honglian, and used Honglian to curse Father Arthur, causing Father Arthur's body to become weaker and the seal barrier to weaken. Finally, one day, he seized the moment when the barrier disappeared, abandoned his body and escaped as a soul, hiding in a bottle and drifting across the sea of ​​the underworld, in a very weak state.

Later, he met Cao Yanming and was attracted by his body with the blood of the king. He successfully possessed Cao Yanming's body on the condition of helping him to take revenge, and used part of his soul to create the guardian spirit - JACK Clown No. 13.

Ten years ago, Huangfu Longdou found him and fought a great battle with him. During the battle, Cao Yanming's guardian spirit Cao Ren actually cut off the shackles with Cao Yanming himself, shot an arrow through Cao Yanming's heart and sealed him up. After that, Cao Ren sacrificed himself to activate the "Sacrifice for the Righteous" field, trapping KING in the secret room of Tartarus, making it impossible for him to leave. JACK was also unable to use his power because he lost KING as his host.

From then on, JACK announced to the outside world that the secret room was the place where the KING and QUEEN were in seclusion, and prohibited anyone from entering, in order to intimidate the ten knights and prevent them from taking the opportunity to rebel.

In other words, JACK now has basically no fighting ability, so he can only act and pray not to be discovered by the knights.

Dragon King Gavin walked up to Yang Jin and joked with him:
"Brother Yang Jin, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much! Why bother to argue with him? It's a great honor that you didn't suck my blood this time."

Among the Twelve Knights of the Kingdom Organization, Dragon King Gavin is an upright person who hates conspiracies and intrigues, has a very good relationship with people, and is on good terms with many knights.

When Gavin first met Yang Jin, he felt a sense of mutual admiration and his favorable impression of him increased greatly. One was upright and the other was gentle as jade, and therefore the two of them had a deep friendship.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, JACK, who had been hiding behind the scenes like a transparent person, finally came out slowly and said in a calm tone:

"Everyone, long time no see. It's time for this farce to end."

"Almost everyone is here. Jira can't leave the Sky God Forest, so let's get started now!"

His expression was calm and his eyes were deep, and he really acted very seriously.

Crow also bowed his head slightly to show respect. At this time, Nora's face was no longer happy or angry, and he hid his emotions very well. He placed his right hand flat on his chest and said respectfully:

"Why did you summon me?"

Dragon King Gavin stood like an iron tower, with his arms folded across his chest, watching JACK speak quietly.

The Death God Saiyi still had a rebellious look on his face and sneered:
"JACK, stop talking nonsense, if you want to have a meeting, hurry up!"

Holy Butterfly Frode and Queen Pala had calm and composed expressions, and it was impossible to tell whether they were happy or angry.

The other knights stared at JACK, as if wondering what kind of important matter it was that required all the knights to be summoned?

True Lord Yang Jin was as tall as a jade tree, looking at Jack with a half-smile, but Jack always felt that everything was seen through. This feeling simply drove him crazy.

"Hold on, hold on, don't show your hand."

JACK kept hinting to himself.

He would rather face the second and third knights than the first knight! Absolutely! When he thought of the outrageous scene at the last moment when he used the Xumi Divine Pearl to summon, he felt extremely irritated and frightened.

The other knights were summoned, but this gentleman came here on his own initiative.

He would never forget the day when he summoned all the knights, and a huge black dog swallowed the Sumeru Pearl like a heavenly dog ​​eating the moon. Then this gentleman suddenly came to him without any warning. He shouted at the black dog, asking it to spit out the pearl quickly, and said that he could work for them and be their knight to make up for the misunderstanding.

Of course JACK didn't want to, because this man was too powerful and he had no control over him at all.

However, faced with Yang Jin's aura as powerful as the God of Justice who was in charge of the punishment of heaven and earth, and the black dog's ferocious eyes, which looked as if it would bite him to death and swallow him into its stomach if he dared to refuse, JACK could only nod and agree.

Put aside these distracting thoughts and focus on the mission. JACK said in a deep voice:
"Gathering almost all the knights at once is, of course, a very important matter. It concerns the future structure of the underworld and the upcoming upheavals. I'm sure all the knights have felt that the underworld is very different from the past. The troubled times have arrived. It's time for our Kingdom Organization to show our true strength!"

Jack stood up from the throne and continued, "The King and Queen will not show up this time, so I, Jack, will be the one to convey the information to you all."

JACK had a smile on his face, looking calm and sophisticated.

But Alexander was already panicking inside as he was facing eleven knights at the same time.
