When he faced the dead Minotaur just now, Ares could feel the sense of danger and fear that the beast had brought upon him.
He could only imagine how much stronger it was when it was alive.
His sixth sense told him that Zeke was most likely not a match for Minotaur.
Sole Wolf smiled meaningfully and said, “It's nothing, really. Minotaur looked strong, but it was actually weaker than it appeared. With the help of Zeke's godly power, I easily killed it.”
Ares was surprised. “Are you saying that Minotaur died in your hands?”
Sole Wolf nodded. “What? You don't believe me?”
“I don't believe you at all. Be honest with me. What really happened? I don't think even the Great Marshal could have defeated Minotaur on his own. Its strength was too great.”
Sole Wolf sighed. “All right, you got me. It was Zeke and Fortuna who killed Minotaur.”
Fortuna!
Ares thought about all the powerful beings who had helped Zeke, such as Sole Wolf and Nameless, but he had never imagined that the one who helped Zeke the most would be Fortuna, a strange life form that existed between the physical and virtual world.
“Hurry up and tell me the details of what happened. I never thought that the small worm would play such a big role at the critical moment.”
Sole Wolf then recounted what happened to Ares, who was dumbfounded after listening to it.
Fortuna had swallowed Minotaur's spirit pill, which was also the fire seed, and then betrayed Zeke by running away with it.
Now, Zeke didn't have the fire seed, and he could only stare helplessly at the divine weapon, unable to let it continue to evolve.
His plan had completely been ruined by Fortuna, that little worm.
