Chapter 308: Like Icarus…
"I'm what?"

"I... I am a hero, chosen by the gods. Yo… You can't extract my blood for my abilities; you're inviting divine punishment."
"Lex, allow me to be frank with you." Zion calmly observed the terrified Lex, evident as daylight that fear had shaken the fool since he was now aware of his imminent demise.
"Even if you pray and bow to the heavens tens, a hundred, or a thousand times, the gods won't be able to rescue you.
Do you know why?
It's because the gods you put your faith in lack absolute control over the world and would have to pay a steep price just to intervene in worldly affairs.
And to exacerbate your suffering, the gods won't give you much consideration, as you've forsaken your classmates, thereby directly conflicting your desires with theirs."
