846 Chapter 505: The G.o.d of Deception From A Long Sleep and Reaping the Benefits [3/6]
Richard heard the system prompt. He looked at the ancient figure before him, and his heart couldn’t help but change.
He didn’t expect this G.o.d used to dishonesty and deception would spend so much resources. This boldness was admirable.
A one-sided contract, Tai Long himself could not violate it, but he did not need fear.
That was the most unfair contract in the “Shining Era.”
Moreover, not just anyone could make an oath. One needed to have enough strength to communicate the rules of the contract.
However, his thoughts were crystal, and oaths could not move him.
But this was the other party’s alliance.
The power of the ancient G.o.d statue remained in his soul.
The life and death of the G.o.d of deception was now in the grace mainland overlord’s hands.
The contract seemed to be an enormous constraint on the G.o.d of deception. And it gave Richard enough security to trust him.
But if Richard approved, then the G.o.d of deception would be reborn, and in this process, he would do his best to help the G.o.d.
Richard placed a rope too fatal for himself, but he could trade it for freedom and rebirth. This simple action of this G.o.d had a sterling, significant meaning.
A quick silence followed, and Richard said slowly, “Your Excellency Tai Long, I have to say, you have made me look at you in a new light…”
The G.o.d who had once relied on lies and deception to survive had undergone a remarkable transformation.
The G.o.d of deception had already shown such signs in the tomb of the G.o.ds. Now, it seemed that the G.o.d of deception had changed even more than he had imagined.
The G.o.d of deception laughed in relief.
“Lord Richard, you don’t have to worry. I wouldn’t pose and place threats before you. I wouldn’t change whether now or after I recovered my strength.”
“Your words pointed out the way forward for me.”
“This world is changing. My power shouldn’t remain so weak forever…”
“I need to recover as soon as possible. Change is constant. A good opportunity might not come again in the future if I don’t seize this opportunity.”
The calmness in Tai Long’s voice made Richard look at him deeply again.
“Your Excellency Tai Long, how can I help you recover your strength?”
Richard added.
“Your heart already belongs to someone else. I can’t take it for you now.”
The G.o.d of deception laughed.
“That was your spoils of war. How you dealt was your right.”
Tai Long looked at the spatial rift connected to the Naga Plane.
The battle in the rotten swamp at this time continued.
“A G.o.d must c.u.mulate believers to recover strength as soon as possible. That is the swiftest way.
“I am no exception.”
Richard’s brows almost intersected.
He immediately recalled the evil spreader. This subordinate still experimented with preaching in the underground world.
“Apologies, Your Excellency Tai Long, the sect’s power cannot influence my territory.”
This land couldn’t have a second owner.
The G.o.d of deception spoke slowly.
“Lord, you’ve misunderstood.”
Tai Long indicated the rotten swamp while soldiers still fought.
“Pressure had already shattered the s.p.a.ce of that plane. Other planes are connecting to it. You only need to give me a portion of the life force of one of the planes.”
Richard thought for a moment and nodded.
That wouldn’t affect him much.
Since they had decided to become partners and the G.o.d of deception had shown his sincerity, he would not be stingy.
“Sure.”
He gestured to the rotten swamp and briefly explained the function of this land.
“I need Your Excellency to help me cover up the rotten crimson blood ball so that outsiders won’t be able to find out that the rotten swamp is the revitalized land…”
“At the same time, the holy land needs the power to devour s.p.a.ce…”
The G.o.d of deception knew Richard’s initial intention of waking him up and nodded immediately.
“No problem, just leave it to me.”
Richard smiled. He liked obedient partners.
It was a pity one couldn’t simply defeat the G.o.d of deception. Otherwise, it would be much simpler with some dirty and tiring work if he took this G.o.d in.
He glanced at Tai Long’s illusory body and softly said, “Do you need me to find a temporary body for Your Excellency?”
“Temporarily no use for the tag. I want to forge the divine body of this life with my own hands.
“My future path is no longer the same. My previous body can’t accommodate a new soul.”
The G.o.d of deception’s tone was firm, and he had long thought about it.
Richard nodded and said no more.
At this point, the relationship between indicated working partners.
Now, Richard needed to help the G.o.d of deception recover his power. Also, protect him from threats, particularly from Lolita, the Spider G.o.ddess.
What Richard could gain was. The G.o.d of deception worked for him.
For him, this level of partnership was enough at this stage.
It was unrealistic to subdue the G.o.d of deception. The current Twilight City hadn’t reached the height where it could defeat G.o.ds.
The mightiest battle power he had was only at the transcendent level. The gap was immeasurable compared to a G.o.d.
The G.o.d of deception could be wrought-up at this time, and the partnership might not have happened if Richard hadn’t suppressed Tai Long with the help of the ancient statue and offended the Spider G.o.ddess Lolita in the tomb of the G.o.ds.
The methods of G.o.ds were strange and unpredictable. No matter how down and out they were, they were not something ordinary people could reach.
But for Richard, it was enough that the G.o.d of deception could be helpful to him now. What about the future? No one could predict it.
Richard unhesitantly brought the G.o.d of deception through the spatial rift and arrived at the rotten swamp.
Loreinna immediately felt the pressure only G.o.ds could convey when she saw the G.o.d of deception.
