Chapter 1468: Subordinate G.o.ds
Besides the eight G.o.d Rank Knights and the Saint, every single person in the Holy Kingdom was dead.
It was deserted, and the souls of all other beings, from livestock to insects, were also taken away.
Suddenly, a wave of fury gushed out from the Divine Body in the sky. It was not the Demon from Beyond’s emotion, but an instinct caused by a change of plan.
The Demon from Beyond was expecting to fully recover itself, change its Kingdom, and form new lives from it.
However, with the last hundred million followers gone, it was not able to complete the final procedure!
Angels were not like the G.o.ds. If they could form new lives in their Kingdom, they could make them another level higher.
Although the Demon from Beyond could still resurrect as it had planned, it had missed the opportunity it had been awaiting for thousands of years.
That ultimate spell it had Cast was not something that could be done easily. It not only drained the angel’s energy, it destroyed the last bit of resources it had!
It might not be able to do it again, so it had to make good use of its time in slumber.
——
…
The Divine Body in the sky connected to the Saint in dissatisfaction.
“Ah!” The Saintimmediately felt like his brain was about to blast open from the sudden connection. “My Lord, please forgive me for not taking good care of the followers!” the Saint yelped.
His soul was blasted away, as it could no longer handle the Divine Body’s attention.
The Saint’s body dropped down on the ground, his eyes still gazing at the Demon from Beyond’s statue.
The Demon from Beyond might have let the Saint live if it was fully conscious. At the end of the day, the Saint was still its spokesperson, but the Divine Body did not have such mercy.
...
The Holy Kingdom continued to change. When the process was finished, the Demon from Beyond would truly reawaken!
——
Time was running out and the wizards knew it.
“I will go to the dragons and ask them for help!” Wizard Smith declared grimly.
With the current conditions, they had no idea what might happen next. No one around was nearly as powerful as the Demon from Beyond, and even G.o.d Rank wizards were not going to do much with their numbers. They needed help!
“I’ll call the G.o.d Alliance as well!” Wizard McPhee added.
Wizard Smith couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly. By that point the G.o.d Alliance’s relations.h.i.+p with the Wizard Union was basically ice-cold!
They had the right to ask a G.o.d to come out of their Kingdom to fight according to their contract, but it was too bad their relations.h.i.+p had gone south.
“We should still let them know, so the President will have an excuse to go after them!” Wizard Mosley stated coldly.
“Ok!” Wizard Smith agreed. As the Vice President, he had the say when it came to this matter.
——
Wizard Smith quickly disappeared from the spot and reappeared in their Headquarters.
He went into a room with special Magic Circles to connect with the G.o.ds. He activated it with his Power of The Will and requested that all the G.o.ds gather at the Warding Wall.
Afterwards, he waited for a while, but there was no reply.
Still he kept calm. Perhaps the G.o.ds were just negotiating with one another. After all, stepping out of their Realms to fight the Demon from Beyond after not fighting for thousands of years was extremely risky.
Also, they would only be back-ups at the most. The Curses from the Death G.o.d and the healing spells from the Moon G.o.ddess might be of some help, but they wouldn’t be a defining factor.
As for the Demon from Beyond, it had more than enough special abilities to kill them!
Most importantly, they were still on bad terms with the Wizard Union after what Wizard Mosley had done.
Still, they were nothing compared to the Wizard Union. They might be safe for the moment, but the Wizard Union might still come after them in the future!
——
“Wizard Smith is still waiting for our reply. What is there to discuss?” The Moon G.o.ddess said helplessly.
The Water G.o.ddess and the Death G.o.d’s att.i.tudes were clear: they didn’t want to leave their Kingdoms.
As for the weakest G.o.d of Wealth and the Earth G.o.ddess, they hesitated, as there was not much they could do.
“Moon G.o.ddess, what do you think?” the Water G.o.ddess asked.
All the G.o.ds turned to the Moon G.o.ddess and waited for her to say something.
“I suggest we join the dragons or Headmaster Abel. If we do, then we won’t be going to the Warding Wall alone. I’m sure the dragons or Headmaster Abel won’t treat us like tools!” the Moon G.o.ddess said quietly.
All the G.o.ds went silent. Although they needed Abel’s protection, becoming his subordinates might be too much.
Of course, the Moon G.o.ddess was the only one who didn’t really care. Considering Abel’s relations.h.i.+p with Lorraine, matters shouldn’t change much.
“Headmaster Abel is a part of the G.o.d Alliance too, so we should ask him to join our discussion!” the G.o.d of Wealth suggested.
The reason they had not invited Abel in the first place was because the Wizard Union had only requested the five of them, since Abel was not under the Wizard Union’s control.
“Yes! I don’t disagree with joining Headmaster Abel, but we should still ask him first!” the Earth G.o.ddess agreed quickly.
Just look at what had happened to the dwarves. They actually regained their autonomy under Abel, and more and more resources were going their way.
The Water G.o.ddess exchanged gazes with the Death G.o.d, and nodded as well.
“Headmaster just became a G.o.d Rank, so I’m just worried if he will have the time to join us!” the Moon G.o.ddess added as she started to call Abel.
But it seemed like it was her lucky day. Abel was just taking a rest, and he immediately accepted her call.
“Headmaster Abel, congratulations for becoming a G.o.d Rank!” the Moon G.o.ddess smiled.
“Headmaster Abel, congratulations!” the other G.o.ds added as well.
They had all congratulated Abel before in a letter, but they still did it again in person.
“Thank you!” Abel smiled and bowed back. “What happened?” he inquired of them.
“Headmaster Abel, we want to become your subordinate G.o.ds!” the Moon G.o.ddess replied seriously. The other G.o.ds remained silent while she did the talking.
“That’s…” Abel was not expecting this.
The Moon G.o.ddess got straight to the point. “Headmaster Abel, the Wizard Union has just asked us to gather at the Warding Wall. We want to reject it, so I hope we can serve under you and use your name!”
Indeed, Abel was one of the most powerful forces in this world, with more than ten G.o.d Rank Summons and the dragons on his side!
Even without Abel’s direct help, his name would make the Wizard Union think again.
Most importantly , the Moon G.o.ddess trusted him. She had watched Abel grow up, so she knew very well what kind of person he was!
“Moon G.o.ddess, you know the consequences of becoming my subordinate G.o.d, right?” Abel asked gently.
A Subordinate G.o.d was a t.i.tle given to G.o.ds who sought safety from a more powerful G.o.d. However it came at a cost, and that was opening up their Divine Kingdoms to the more powerful G.o.d!
In another word, giving their life to them!
The Moon G.o.ddess bowed and called out, “My Lord Abel, please accept my loyalty!”
“Moon G.o.ddess, I accept your loyalty and you will be under my protection!” Abel replied firmly. He knew the Moon G.o.ddess had already decided, so rejecting her would be an insult.
Afterwards, the Moon G.o.ddess reached a bit of her soul out, and Abel connected it with his own soul.
From now on, he would know the Moon G.o.ddess’s location at all times.
Afterwards, a calm expression emerged on the Moon G.o.ddess’s face. It was a huge decision, but unlike the other G.o.ds, she knew Abel very well.
Most importantly, she knew she wouldn’t have a good time with the Wizard Union if she didn’t ask Abel for help!
She still remembered the look on the Wizard Union President’s face when they signed their contract back in the day. It was a look of utter disrespect and distaste.
Although she didn’t know why the Wizard Union President had kept the G.o.ds alive, she knew he would come after them after he achieved what he wanted.
It was why she lived in constant fear, and never dared step out of her Kingdom.
The Moon G.o.ddess’s actions caught the other G.o.ds completely off guard. Where was the discussion they’d been talking about?
“My Lord Abel, please accept my loyalty as your subordinate G.o.d!” the G.o.d of Wealth clenched his teeth and also gave his offer of fealty. He was the weakest G.o.d there, but he knew the young Abel was more trustworthy than the Wizards Union!
He bowed with all his respect.
“G.o.d of Wealth, I accept your loyalty, and you will be under my protection!” Abel declared firmly again. At the same time, the G.o.d of Wealth reluctantly gave out his soul to Abel.
The Earth G.o.ddess followed. The Water G.o.ddess and the Death G.o.d hesitated, but Abel did not care. After all, it was concerning their future, not his.
The Moon G.o.ddess had full trust in Abel, and the weaker G.o.ds had no choice, so it was an easier decision for them to make. After all, they knew very well Abel was not after their wealth or their power!
