MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

Following Eferot, the two entered a study.

The Golden Lion proactively brewed tea and handed a cup to Lu Hong, "You must be a Heavenly God?"

"Yes, are you not afraid?"

Eferot smiled lightly and shook his head, "If you really came to kill me, could I escape?"

Lu Hong took the teacup, "Sit."

Upon hearing those words, Eferot sat down and began, scrutinizing Lu Hong's face, "You must be the Human Heavenly God?"

"Yes, Human, War God."

"You are the Human War God?" Eferot was exceedingly surprised, "You are still alive?"

"Unless something unexpected happens, I should live for some more time."

"So, War God, venturing into the Northern Realm, I don't know if I could be of any help."

"Anna."

"Anna?!" Hearing the name spat out by Lu Hong, Eferot was taken aback and didn't react immediately.

"I want you to help me investigate traces of Anna."

Eferot's expression turned solemn, and he bowed, "May I ask why does Lord War God wish to know the whereabouts of Anna?"

"She is the widow of my believer, Tukuru. I heard his last wish before he died, so I hope to find his estranged widow and bring her to the Star Alliance for protection."

Unable to discern the truthfulness in Lu Hong's words, but undoubted about his divine status, Eferot, after some inner conflict, finally said, "If you aren't deceiving me, I can hand Anna over to you, but you must swear never to harm her!"

Hearing Eferot's words, Lu Hong was quite surprised, "She is still alive?!"

Seeing Lu Hong somewhat excited, Eferot said sternly, "I hope Lord War God can agree to my request and make a sworn promise."

"No problem." Lu Hong quickly made the vow. Despite Eferot's lingering doubts, he honestly revealed Anna's whereabouts. Before the ancient beast tribe invasion of the extreme Magic Abyss, Eferot had taken her away by chance, placing her in the third town of the Northern Realm to live among many Human race refugees under his protection.

Hearing this, Lu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, "I owe you a favor."

Saying so, Lu Hong left the study and hurriedly headed toward the third town.

With his Divine Soul unfolding, he quickly located Anna, who was living in a small courtyard in the eastern corner of the town. At the moment, Anna's face was gaunt, obviously not faring well.

In a flash, Lu Hong appeared in Anna's courtyard.

Hearing the noise in the yard, Anna inquired, "Brother Eferot? Is that you?"

As she spoke, she pushed open the door and saw the strange man standing before her; her tone immediately turned stern, "Who are you? Why are you intruding into my home?"

Seeing the not-dead Anna, a surge of excitement washed over Lu Hong. If there was anyone Lu Hong felt deeply indebted to, it was Anna, who had accompanied him to a foreign land and whom he had duly married.

For a moment, forgetting his current identity, he excitedly embraced her.

However, Anna did not recognize Lu Hong at this moment and pushed him forcefully, "Let go of me; if you continue like this, I'll not be polite!"

As she spoke, magic stirred, and several ice spikes hovered midair, targeting the vital spots around Lu Hong.

At that moment, Lu Hong also came back to his senses, flustered, "I... I'm not a bad person... I just... got a bit excited seeing you... I'm not a bad person, you have to believe me."

Hearing Lu Hong's disjointed words, Anna seemed to feel a stir deep inside, tentatively asking, "Tukuru?"

"How did you recognize me?" Lu Hong responded reflexively, but instantly regretted it.

Unfortunately, this had confirmed Anna's faint intuition: "Is it really you?"

Tears uncontrollably spilled from Anna's eyes as she spoke.

Seeing Anna's pear-blossom-like appearance with tears, Lu Hong could no longer resist admitting, "It's me, I've come back, just... in a different body."

At that moment, Anna could no longer restrain her longing and threw herself into Lu Hong's embrace.

And Lu Hong also firmly held her in his arms.

After a tender moment, the two reluctantly parted.

"How did you end up looking like this?"

"Am I not as handsome as before?"

Anna shook her head slightly, "It just feels strange."

"Then aren't you afraid I'm deceiving you?" Lu Hong jested with a chuckle.

"No," Anna pointed at the heart beating under Lu Hong's chest, "It wouldn't deceive me."

Lu Hong sighed, "It's a long story."

Now that he had admitted his identity, Lu Hong no longer concealed things, narrating his journey back to the Era of the Gods to Anna.

Listening to Lu Hong's experiences, Anna felt both heartache and relief.

"So, what do you plan to do next?" Upon learning about the five-year pact after the journey to hell, Anna asked somewhat nervously.

Lu Hong gave a slight smile and embraced Anna firmly, "I'm not going anywhere these years, just staying by your side."

"Mm!"

Hearing Lu Hong's response, Anna appeared very thrilled and immensely happy.

This genuinely heart-felt smile, Anna truly hadn't shown for a long while.

In this way, over more than four years, Lu Hong traveled the Star Sea with Anna, and half a year ago, they returned to the Star Alliance, which Lu Hong felt was the safest place.

"Lord War God, what brings you to my residence today?" Seeing Lu Hong visit, Frogod was quite puzzled.

"Lord Saint, if I have caused any disturbance, please excuse me."

"Not at all, please come in."

Inviting Lu Hong and Anna inside, Frogod served a pot of pitch-black viscous substance.

Carefully pouring two cups, Frogod pushed them across to Lu Hong, "Here, try this specialty black purple tea of the demon race."
