Chapter 423: Chapter 133Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“The G.o.d of Healing is going to be revived?” In the center of the brilliant palace, after hearing the reports from his followers of G.o.d, the Master G.o.d of the Human G.o.d System, Wuther Rang, didn’t show any emotion on his face, but his fingers began to tremble on the arm of his throne.
He wasn’t worried that the G.o.d of Healing would bring trouble to the Human G.o.d System or himself, because the G.o.d of Healing was a kind G.o.d who was nice to everyone. Thus, his revival would be a good thing to all the clans in the Main Plane. As for the Human G.o.d System, although the revival of the G.o.d of Healing would influence the effect of the Healing Spell for other clergymen who didn’t believe in the G.o.d of Healing, it wouldn’t be to a severe degree. When the G.o.d of Healing was alive, the clergymen who were following other G.o.ds were allowed to use their powerful Healing Divinity Spell. Thus, only those who used Healing Spell will be affected.
In this world, besides the clergymen, such as priests and shamans, only the spellcasters who mastered the power in direction of healing and life could use the Healing Spell. Since the G.o.d of Healing had been transformed into the Love Angel, the clergy of Healing Spell had collapsed. Therefore, there had been no limitations on the use of the Healing Spell since then, and it had been used as casually as normal spells. Now, the G.o.d of Healing was going to come back to life, and that meant this clergy would soon be returned to the G.o.d and most of the mages and wizards would lose their ability to use the Healing Spell.
It seemed like a serious matter, but after careful thinking, it was nothing too serious.
Mages and wizards were mainly the followers of the Master of Mystery and the G.o.d of Spellcaster, and in the core of these two G.o.ds’ concepts was to pursue supreme mystery and the source of the world, and promote the construction of magic civilization, and so on. Losing the Healing Spell did have some disadvantages on the construction of a magic civilization, but it would be made up for by the clergymen, since they were still able to heal others with magic. At least there was no such a thing as a pure mage culture.
However, in the vast Ring of the World, there were some races and civilizations that didn’t have any clergymen. During the years without the clergy of healing, they had gotten used to the Healing Spell. Thus, its sudden loss would have a big impact on them.
The G.o.d of Light was very calm, and there was no change in his eyes.
The small clans that couldn’t even stand firmly on the Main Plane deserved no attention from him!
A similar situation occurred in all the major G.o.d systems. The Great Divine Powers who were leading the G.o.d systems didn’t worry about the revival of the G.o.d of Healing, because they were fairly powerful and confident themselves.
However, some of the weaker G.o.ds felt quite anxious, especially those who had been in conflict with the G.o.d of Healing over the clergy.
After Arcaian was recognized by the source of world for his medical achievements, all the G.o.ds who had fought with him over the clergy felt anxious. Among them, the most anxious one was the G.o.d of Plague, and during this period, he always felt uneasy. He felt that he would be in great trouble, but he couldn’t predict anything. After all, the recognition of the source of the world was something beyond anyone’s prediction.
Thus, the G.o.d of Plague even changed his hermit style and went out secretly to perform divination. However, it didn’t work at all. He still felt uneasy, and the divination had told him nothing.
Now, he knew that his anxiety was coming from the revival of G.o.d of Healing, so he was somewhat relaxed.
The G.o.d of Healing was indeed his enemy. When he was alive, some devils, including the G.o.d of Plague, had been severely suppressed by him. The G.o.d of Healing was polite and nice to everyone, except for them. Every time he met them, he immediately became angry and wanted to beat them to death. What was more tragic, these devils had few friends, since they always brought disaster upon others, but the G.o.d of Healing had a lot of allies, so it would turn into a fight between a devil and several G.o.ds. It was tragic.
But no matter what, at that time, he was still alive. The G.o.d of Healing had been a mid-level Divine Power then, but now, the G.o.d of Healing would at most be at low-level Divine Power, so the G.o.d of Plague wasn’t afraid of him at all.
It’ll be nothing serious, I’ll just beat him!
Compared to the G.o.d of Plague, the other G.o.ds, like the G.o.d of Epidemics and the G.o.d of Bitterness, didn’t feel so relaxed. They went to the G.o.d of Fear one by one to seek help from him to stop the G.o.d of Healing from reviving.
In this world, devils rarely worked together, and the G.o.d of Fear was almost like their leader when it was necessary. Once something serious happened, most devils would gather around this Great Divine Power and seek help from him, as well as work for him.
The G.o.d of Fear, of course, wished to strengthen his rule among the devils. For example, he wanted to make any of the devils who hadn’t yet formally taken refuge in him completely submit and turn them from allies to followers of G.o.d. He thought that was a good and appropriate deal.
But it still depended on what it would cost.
If it cost too much, then he wouldn’t do it. Although they were all devils, he didn’t want to risk his life for others.
Surrounded by the black gas, the G.o.d of Fear was pondering on his throne made of bones.
A moment later, he asked in a low voice, “What do you think about this?”
Under the shadow of the throne came the G.o.d of Conspiracy, and he answered, his face covered by the hood. “It depends on what Your Majesty wants.”
“You should know what I want.”
The G.o.d of Conspiracy said with a smile, “If you haven’t changed your mind, Your Majesty, I think you can do it.”
“Really?” The G.o.d of Fear didn’t rush to show his opinion, nor did he reject his suggestion.
“I always feel that it’s not so simple,” the G.o.d of Conspiracy said. “I saw the power of the G.o.d of Healing before. To be honest, I think he was just so-so. At least, I don’t believe that he’s powerful enough to make so many G.o.ds anxious.”
“But it’s true that he can suppress the other G.o.ds in the clergy,” the G.o.d of Fear said.
“Yes, that’s true. However, even when he was the mid-level Divine Power and had a lot of friends, was there anyone who was really suppressed by him?” the G.o.d of Conspiracy asked. “The most badly suppressed one was the G.o.d of Plague, but what he suffered was a few beatings from the G.o.d of Healing. He’s still alive, and he even didn’t fall to a lower level of power.”
The G.o.d of Fear did not reply.
“Now, even though the G.o.d of Healing is going to be revived, only the Healing Spell is left in the core of his clergy. With little divine power storage and few allies, he’s only a weak Divine Power. How can he be a threat to others?” The G.o.d of Conspiracy said calmly, “So I think there must be a more powerful G.o.d behind the G.o.d of Healing, and that G.o.d must have a similar clergy to the G.o.d of Healing.”
“There’s no such G.o.d in the Pantheon temple,” the G.o.d of Fear said.
“But it doesn’t mean there are no such G.o.ds in other places,” the G.o.d of Conspiracy continued. “After all, there are only legitimate G.o.ds in the Pantheon temple. G.o.ds-to-be, devils, and demons aren’t included. It can’t be a demon, but it once happened that a G.o.d-to-be became a G.o.d, and the devils became legitimate G.o.ds. You must know that there’s an extremely powerful G.o.d-to-be in the world. If he decides to take the clergy and become a G.o.d, he’ll be the peak of mid-level Divine Power at the least.”
The G.o.d of Fear stopped knocking on the arm of the throne. He was silent for a while and asked, “Do you think it’s the jellyfish? Didn’t he announce that he would be the G.o.d of Development and Progress?”
“He did announce like that, but he hasn’t done it yet,” the G.o.d of Conspiracy said, “During these years, that jellyfish has been working hard on spreading medical knowledge. If he finally makes it, he’ll be a great threat to those anxious G.o.ds.”
“You mean… Instead of reviving the G.o.d of Healing, that jellyfish is going to receive the clergy of medicine?”
“Perhaps,” the G.o.d of Conspiracy replied. “But we have to prepare well for it.”
The G.o.d of Fear pondered for a while and asked, “What do you think we should do?”
“The most practical thing to do is kill him, or at least hurt him badly,” the G.o.d of Conspiracy answered directly.
The G.o.d of Fear shook his head and said, “That’s impossible. That jellyfish has an aggressive brother. Even if I join the fight, it’ll only be a draw between us. It’s impossible for me to kill that jellyfish, since his brother will be there to help.”
“Don’t you have a lot of subordinates?” The G.o.d of Conspiracy laughed. “Especially those coming to seek help from you around this time. They should do something.”
“We can’t fully rely on them. That jellyfish is far more powerful than them.” The G.o.d of Fear sighed. “I don’t mean to be too humble, but even if those guys join together, they won’t beat that jellyfish.”
“Of course we can’t fully rely on them. We have other helpers.” The G.o.d of Conspiracy laughed coldly. “The doctrine of the G.o.d of Development and Progress is clearly aimed at promoting world peace.”
The G.o.d of Fear hesitated for a moment and finally made up his mind.
“It’s up to you. If you can persuade the War G.o.d System to help us, then we’ll fight with our best. Let’s see whether we can kill him or not.” He paused for a moment and said, “However, you have to communicate with the Human and Orc G.o.d Systems as well. That jellyfish has a lot of friends, so we have to prevent him from making the situation worse. If he persuades the G.o.d of Light and the Sky Devourer Canine to be his helpers, things will be difficult for us.”
“Please rest a.s.sured, Your Majesty.” The G.o.d of Conspiracy bowed and said confidently, “I always have several plans at the ready. No matter whether things go smoothly or not, I’ll make preparations in advance. Even if it’s beyond our control, I can make sure that we’ll still benefit from it.”
The G.o.d of Fear nodded and laughed. “You have always been reliable. Go ahead, time is limited. Don’t delay too much.”
The G.o.d of Conspiracy bowed again, walked out of the divine temple, and disappeared without a trace.
When he left, the G.o.d of Fear suddenly sneered.
“This guy, he’s planning to take advantage of me to help deal with his enemies. How dare he!”
He sneered again, pondered for a moment, and said to himself, “But… Maybe this time, it’s an opportunity for me. I might not be able to kill the Void Mask, but it’s possible that I could have several clergies and teach the disobedient guys to be honest and follow me. I don’t care about the lives or deaths of these guys! I’m the G.o.d of Fear, not their patron saint!”
From the deepest part of the divine temple, in the midst of darkness and poison gases, a thrilling laugh could be heard.
