Though the wager between Xi Wei and the Lord of the Peaks resulted in slightly sloppy and even humorous vogue, the ultimate end result of Xi Wei’s victory was not affected.
“Your believers had executed fairly nicely.” Aslan, the Nice Lion quickly arrived at Xi Wei’s divine kingdom to supply his congratulations. “I had even assumed that they is perhaps stored on the again foot for a while, however finally acquire victory by way of that curious reviving capacity of theirs.”
If the Nice Lion who was considerably conscious of the Gamers’ strengths thought that, the opposite gods had been actually shocked by that end result.
On paper, the Church of Video games actually had too few believers, numbering lower than three thousand even when they included shallow believers who didn’t even awaken Techniques.
However, the believers of the Lord of the Peaks had three sizeable hill-folk tribes close to Valla alone, and the variety of warriors of their weakest tribe was already equal in quantity to your complete Church of Video games.
And but, the Gamers received with such a transparent victory that not even Xi Wei anticipated that.
He had anticipated some extent of Participant casualty since there actually had been lots of hill-folk, and a zerg-rush can be sufficient to overwhelm most of them.
By some means, Terry and Jom who had been on one other bounty quest had managed to swindle a Scepter of the Temple of Glory in order that the opposite church interfered and vaporized the strongest of these three hill-folk tribes.
To some extent, the decisive battle that the gathered Gamers had waged in opposition to the final tribe felt slightly uninteresting…
Nonetheless, profitable is profitable.
As Xi Wei was reluctant to disclose the placement of his divine kingdom, Aslan had due to this fact discovered him an deserted damage of a divine kingdom as a spot for his or her deal.
In contrast to the ruined divine kingdom the place the Invisible Pantheon beforehand met, this damage was falling aside—which made sense, since it could discourage any god from claiming it even after it was discovered.
It was value mentioning right here that Xi Wei discovered crossing divine realms simpler now that he had the expertise of becoming a member of the Invisible Pantheon’s gathering and himself having ascended as an Intermediate God.
They shortly arrived on the damage because of the Nice Lion’s instructions.
Quickly, the Lord of the Peaks arrived as nicely.
Whereas he resembled Magni Bronzebeard of World of Warcraft in look, he additionally stood over three meters tall and his pores and skin didn’t look natural. As an alternative, he appeared to have concrete painted over himself after which rolled round a mine.
He had no eyes both, whereas his face was composed out of rock and moss, and he spoke like booming thunder.
“This isn’t honest!” He complained loudly.
“The believers of Kratos (the God of Struggle) had taken half on this battle! I wouldn’t be defeated if Lord Earthweaver decreed that his believers aided me! However I didn’t do this as a result of it’s unjust! However, a weirdly formed ball such as you had executed simply that! That’s the reason I refuse to acknowledge the end result of this wager!” Xi Wei, inwardly retorting that ‘A rock-headed individual such as you shouldn’t be complaining about me trying bizarre then spoke to argue his personal case, “I didn’t ask the God of Struggle to assist. The end result got here fully from my believers’ decisions.”
Whereas he didn’t anticipate the Lord of the Peaks to renege, Xi Wei roughly anticipated the Lord of the Peaks to make use of the Temple of Glory as leverage and as such had an excuse ready. “I wouldn’t have stated a phrase in case your believers may direct the Earth Sect’s believers into taking motion as nicely.”
At that, a crescent-moon slit appeared over Xi Wei’s spherical face as if to mock the Lord of the Peaks. On the identical time, his tentacles slapped on his personal physique as he exclaimed as if in understanding, “Oh, that jogs my memory. Your believers—the hill-folk are only a bunch of vile bandits. The Earth Sect’s followers had lengthy since set boundaries in opposition to them, so why would they ever assist you to!?”
“Rattling it, your lord should have uncared for to teach you! It is best to present gods who outrank you with respect!” The Lord of the Peaks embarrassment became rage whereas divine energy surged over his physique.
As one of many older Intermediate Gods and a sub-deity of Earthweaver, one of many Seven Divine Fathers, the Lord of the Peaks clearly had a lot stronger backing in comparison with a beginner Intermediate God like Xi Wei.
However he didn’t come alone-indeed, he wouldn’t take care of the Lord of the Peaks face-to face if he needed to come alone.
“Cease it, rock head!” Aslan, the Nice Lion of Justice roared then, his mane dancing regardless of the dearth of win. His majestic but menacing presence gave the Lord of the Peaks pause proper then, stopping him from any reckless transfer.
“Maintain defending it, Aslan! Identical to a kitty and his favourite fur ball!” The Lord of the Peaks retorted, however that was the one factor he may do-he had hesitated for half a day, and finally didn’t have the gall to problem the strongest intermediate god.
“No matter. Hand over your divine energy as agreed!” Aslan bellowed once more.
“I refuse! Do no matter you need, I received’t resist!” The Lord of the Peaks yelled again, unwilling to yield. “However bear in mind, you’ll be harming the sub-deity of a Divine Father!”
Aslan was clearly cautious concerning the Earthweaver, and so each side arrived at a stalemate proper then.Simply as Xi Wei tried to swindle some data or get some divine relic out of the Lord of the Peaks as an alternative, a presence that left the center palpating with worry and was with out match abruptly arose inside Xi Wei’s coronary heart.
He felt similar to a tiny picket raft amidst rolling waves or an ant in the course of a forest fireplace. The horror round him was so profound and unfathomable that even his divinity was shaking.
Quickly, a divine energy that was the very incarnation of worry arose past the fallen divine kingdom. The faint traces of that energy which had been spilling inside alone was nothing Xi Wei may hope to match, be it in amount or high quality!
On the identical time, the already-ruined divine kingdom started to crumble upon that divine energy’s appearance-even although he was not intentionally exerting any strain!
Although Xi Wei couldn’t see the face of its proprietor, he had already realized one thing.
In any case, the Lord of the Peaks was laughing wildly in his face!
The truth is, the three-meter tall rock dwarf was elevating what gave the impression to be his arms excessive above, in the direction of the rupturing skies of the ruined divine kingdom.
“Lord Earthweaver!” He shouted on prime of his lungs. “I didn’t anticipate you to come back! Within the title of Peaks, I beseech your favor to unleash your divine retribution upon these two gods who failed to understand kindness to guard the dignity of all earthen gods!”
