Chapter 451: Chapter 161Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The celebration for the mortals was nothing more than singing and dancing, eating and playing.
What about for G.o.ds? Actually, it was even boring than that of the mortals!
At least at this moment, sitting in the center of the celebration venue, Sui Xiong, in a dignified posture, thought so.
Sui Xiong looked around at those mortals. Some of them had met him once before, and some of them had even been his acquaintances when he had turned into the appearance of a human. He had never met some of them before, but he still could feel their appreciation and happiness. They were very happy now. The young were singing and dancing, and the old were chatting and drinking beside the long table in the corner of the playground. Several middle-aged men who had partic.i.p.ated in the development of the Void Mask Land began to boast about their youthful experiences and praised the good life of today. Several old men who had worked hard half in their lives and were now retired laughed and looked at the young ones while chatting with their old friends.
There were also some foreign adventurers here. Since the battle of Sun’s Death Day, the adventurers in the Main Plane had become very few. But in recent years, because of the introduction of the Adventurer Experience Games in the Void Mask Land, many young people from rich families had acc.u.mulated a lot of experience through games and adventures in the underground playground and became good adventurers. They greatly enlarged the team of adventurers.
This new generation of adventurers was very different from their predecessors. They were more cautious and never followed others blindly; they always collected information carefully and made good plans in advance. They were not particularly greedy and always had things done within a bottom line. They paid more attention to credit and principles. Moreover, they also had a wide range of social relations. Once in trouble, it would be easy for them to get help, and if they were killed, there would be a search or even revenge for them soon. If the adventurers of the past had lived like wild dogs, this new generation was more like proud hounds. Although they were not as free as their predecessors, they lived a more secure and reliable life.
Their lives were much easier than those of their predecessors. They didn’t have to worry all day about saving money and life after retirement. So they were also the most enthusiastic celebrities in the world because they had both money and leisure.
For example, now, there were many adventurers in the celebration venue. Those more active ones were singing and dancing with the crowd, and those quiet ones were sitting in the square in groups of two or three, eating, drinking and chatting.
Sui Xiong saw another two people, and each of them held a silver-white personal game machine the size of a book and played with it very happily!
What the h.e.l.l! Isn’t that the limited edition game I launched last time? I remember that only high-ranking officials of the church and players who performed well in the testing game could get it. How did these guys get it?
Curious in his heart, Sui Xiong could not help dividing a bit Divine Power to spy into the mind of the two guys.
Then he couldn’t help but laugh because it was a long story of how they got their game machines.
The tall young man on the left got his game machine from the test player c.l.i.to. c.l.i.to took his wife and children to Garth City to learn from Leon Igor and took a part-time job in game testing in his spare time. With his fast response and sincere att.i.tude in work, he performed well in the test and received a prize.
The tall man, Klein, was also a test player. However, his performance in the test was not good enough, so he did not get the reward of the highest level. But he had a very good relations.h.i.+p with c.l.i.to, and he kept begging c.l.i.to for the prize. Finally, c.l.i.to had no choice but to transfer his prize to him.
Another bald-headed man, Egil, was also a test player who did not perform well enough in the test. He was a good businessman, almost monopolizing the high-end liquor market in all of Garth City. He was also a member of the upper cla.s.s. In order to get a personal game machine, he tried his best. Finally, Kalisa Riley, the Hill Lord of Garth City, saw that Egil almost went mad in getting a game machine, and she gave him hers.
These two men had a good friends.h.i.+p and often played games together in their spare time. They had made full use of the personal game machines and quite enjoyed playing. They were at least better than Leon, who had put his in the warehouse to be buried by dust.
Sui Xiong felt funny in his heart, and his original depression was relieved.
Well, if the mortals wanted to have a good time, the G.o.ds could just be a good mascot on the side. Anyway, he just needed to leave a clone as a statue here, and he could spare time to develop new games or to perfect the G.o.d’s summoning technique.
Sui Xiong looked at the G.o.ds beside him and found that Yorgaardman, his powerful elder brother, and Wall, the G.o.d of Knowledge and Education, who had been busy just now, all looked like statues now! Even Javier, who liked celebrations most before, went back after the first blessings were given. He might go back to select excellent believers to build his G.o.d’s Kingdom as soon as possible.
These unscrupulous guys! Everyone was with me in the fight. But when we have to sit here steadily like a decoration in the celebration, they all ran away one by one…
Sui Xiong complained about it for a while, and then couldn’t help but laugh.
The fact that everyone was with me in the fight is enough. What is there to complain about?
After that, he planned to go back as well. Suddenly, he was shocked and looked up into the sky.
With the colorful lights flowing in the sky and the positive energy falling down in the rain, Void City was full of energy suddenly. The old felt they were younger, and the young men felt there was more strength in their arms and legs. The young girls felt their skin was more delicate and soft. Even the children felt that they were smarter, and maybe they could get more pocket money from their parents at home.
Sui Xiong smiled, sent a message to his friends, and then flew up to meet these guests.
The sacred lights turned into a rainbow bridge, and good G.o.ds came one after another in an amazingly large number. There were thirty to forty G.o.ds in front of Sui Xiong now, and looking back, there were many more on the rainbow bridge. He couldn’t even see exactly how many of them were there.
What’s going on? Although they said they would come to congratulate us, I thought there would be three to five of them at most. But look at this now. Did the whole Pantheon temple come here?
Sui Xiong’s guess was almost close to the truth. Because of this great victory against the Evil Camp, the G.o.ds of the Good Camp of the Pantheon temple were very happy. By the initiative of the G.o.ddess of Joy, the G.o.ddess of Fortune, the G.o.d of Moon and other G.o.ds, the Good Camp, were all to come, even though they didn’t come with all their members.
Of course, all of them here were the clones of the G.o.ds, and even the weak Divine Powers did not come in their real bodies. Sui Xiong didn’t care about that at all. On the contrary, if the G.o.ds came in their real bodies, he would feel a bit strange.
It was much easier to entertain the G.o.ds’ clones than to entertain the G.o.ds!
Sui Xiong’s friends reacted quickly and returned in a few moments, so the dull statues on the playground quickly regained their vitality. Under the leaders.h.i.+p of Sui Xiong and Yorgaardman, they greeted the good G.o.ds one by one.
Javier, who had planned to become a G.o.d quickly, had to suppress the anxieties in his heart and temporarily act as the host to introduce these G.o.ds that came to congratulate them to Sui Xiong one by one.
“This is the Laughing Girl (the G.o.ddess of Joy). She brings laughter to the world and keeps people away from crying and sorrows. She comes from the Sorrow-Proof Field, where it is always full of warm light and gentle breeze so that everyone can forget all their sorrows.”
Sui Xiong immediately nodded his head and greeted. “Nice to meet you!”
The G.o.ddess of Joy smiled and handed him a silver mask. “Thank you very much for your great contribution to the promotion of goodness and the fight against evil. I hope this mask can make someone you care for happy all his or her life.”
Sui Xiong accepted the gift with a smile, and before he could check its performance, the G.o.ddess of Joy had directly moved past him, casting blessing spell on the crowd. Then she turned into a light and disappeared.
Of course, she couldn’t stay. There were over two hundred G.o.ds to congratulate Sui Xiong this time. If they all stayed here, wouldn’t the square be full of G.o.ds? Were they going to move the Pantheon temple to the human world?
The second one was the G.o.ddess of Fortune, who dressed in a bold style. Even if she went to the earth of the 21st century, her dressing could only be seen in places like animation shows, fas.h.i.+on shows or something like that. Fortunately, she concealed herself so that the mortals could only see the sacred light s.h.i.+ning around her. Otherwise, Sui Xiong was a little worried about whether the men in his territory would have s.e.xual dreams tonight.
“This is the G.o.ddess of Fortune, the benefactor of blessings, the great artist who built the jewel palace in the Sorrow-Proof Field, and the daughter of the G.o.d of Fate,” Javier introduced.
Sui Xiong knew about this G.o.ddess. Not to mention other things, her background was amazing.
She was the most mysterious of the G.o.ds, and she was generally acknowledged as the only child of the G.o.d of Fate who might be closest to the greater Divine Power.
The G.o.d of Fate was so powerful that he needed no introduction. Although the G.o.ddess of Fortune seemed to have inherited only half of her father’s abilities, it made her even more popular.
A G.o.ddess who brought only good luck and blessing to people was much lovelier than the G.o.d of Fate who controlled both good and bad luck!
“I wanted to bless you, but you are so powerful that you are beyond the range of my blessing.” The G.o.ddess of Fortune kissed Sui Xiong gently on his forehead. “But I still want to kiss you. Thank you for killing those hateful guys! Countless mortals will have good luck because of this, and it’s all because of you!”
This G.o.ddess was so free that she didn’t bring any gifts except a kiss.
Of course, if one could choose, Sui Xiong believed that most people would prefer her kiss more than anything else.
The kiss of the G.o.ddess of Fortune was the strongest blessing of good luck, and it could make people have good luck all their lives. Even for the G.o.ds, it could effectively avoid adversity, so it could be taken as a very precious treasure.
Following the G.o.ddess of Fortune was the G.o.d of Moon, who was born from a part of the dead G.o.d of Thunder and Destruction. He was cool and brave. Although he looked as pretty as a woman, he was actually quick-tempered like fire. In the past years, he was the second most powerful G.o.d of the Good Camp in the Pantheon temple, just after the G.o.d of Justice.
Therefore, he was called the guardian of the night, the hero gazing at the earth from the sky, and the pioneer fighting against evil.
He did not say much, but hugged Sui Xiong and said in a low voice, “Good job!”
His gift was quite personal. It was a longbow with no bowstring and arrows. It could shoot out holy arrows like moonlight and break down the evil arrows if it was urged by Sui Xiong’s mind.
Next, the G.o.ds came one after another in the introduction of Javier. They congratulated or thanked Sui Xiong, and then presented their presents in turn. At last, they gave the mortals of the Void City a blessing and disappeared one by one.
To be honest, it was like a merry-go-round.
Sui Xiong replied to their greetings and compliments, but in his heart, he imagined that there was a large merry-go-round here—he stood in the center, and these good G.o.ds were flas.h.i.+ng around him one by one. He couldn’t help but laugh again.
