The Beauty Goddess listened to the decision of the higher gods with a headache. Deng Isis's soul oath had split the Council of Gods into two camps.
The first camp wanted to end their alliance with the Holy Spirits and withdraw from the Blacktide Island battle.
This was because Deng Isis had sworn an oath to the God of Justice. The God of Justice's oath was absolute. If the Blacktide Island tried to harm the main world where the gods were … Deng Isis could only face death.
The gods recruited the Holy Spirits to fight against the Spell Stealers with the power of the abyss. Now that the Spell Stealers would no longer harm them, there was no need to continue working with the Holy Spirits.
The second camp was still unwilling to believe Deng Isis. They believed that only by completely destroying the Blacktide Island could the threat facing the main world be completely removed.
"The past of the God Eater is only a rumor. You have never experienced it yourself. Why are you so afraid of the Holy Spirits?"
"It's not a rumor … You were born too recently. At the beginning of our world, the God Eater was a nightmare far more terrifying than the Annihilation Legion!"
"The best choice is to stop working with them as soon as possible!"
Just as the gods were quarreling over this, they seemed to have sensed something in an instant. They all stopped their discussions at the same time and fell into a strange silence.
They looked at a bookshelf that had collapsed … Behind the bookshelf was a sealed door. This door had been completely opened at this moment, and Silver and the two members of the Starry Sky Scholar Team were standing behind the door.
The sixty-three gods in the Council of Gods looked at Fan Xing and Mr. Yin at the same time.
"It's … the Holy Spirits?"
"They've overheard what we're talking about!"
"We must kill them!"
"Idiot, have you forgotten that the Holy Spirits can be resurrected?
It's over … it's all over. The alliance with the Blacktide Island is going to end. "
When the gods learned that they had been overheard by Mr. Yin and the Stars Bookmen, they were not angry but panicked.
Like the Goddess of Harvest, most of the gods had no fighting power. Or rather, their fighting power was pitifully weak compared to the Holy Spirits. So when they found out that their betrayal had been discovered by the Holy Spirits, they collectively fell into panic.
This was like a flock of sheep plotting to kill their farm owner, only to discover that the farm owner was holding a shotgun and smoking beside them … It made the sheep stiffen.
However, there were also Superior Gods in the Pantheon Parliament, such as the God of War Uld, the Mother Goddess of the Earth, the God of the Ocean, and the God of the Glorious Sun. To the Holy Spirits, they were Lord-level Bosses with great power.
But even with the presence of the Higher Gods, the Council of Gods still fell into a terrifying … silence and stiffness.
"Holy Spirits, do you know that intruding into the Council of Gods is … a violation of the Alliance?
You may be wanted for this. "
As the representative of the Gods Alliance, the Beauty Goddess could only try to appear at this time … She imagined that these two Holy Spirits had not heard the news of the Gods Alliance's attempt to stab them in the back.
During this period of time, the Beauty Goddess had interacted with the Holy Spirits. She knew that the Holy Spirits had a hive consciousness similar to that of the Spell Stealers. As long as one Holy Spirit knew something, thousands of Holy Spirits would know it the next day!
At this moment, the Beauty Goddess felt that she had been plotted against. She had been in the City of Gods for a whole year, but she did not know that the Council of Gods had … such a strange entrance!
Someone must have planned all this behind the scenes. No matter who it was, their plan had succeeded … That was, the Alliance between the Holy Spirits and the Gods Alliance might be completely broken at this moment!
Oh no … I've heard something I shouldn't have.
Silver also understood why all the Gods in the Council of Gods were in a state of tension … It was because he had heard that these Gods were planning to stab the Holy Spirits in the back!
If this was a normal plot, he and Fan Xing would have been secretly killed by these Gods long ago.
"Stop, Gachu. Do you want to make things more troublesome?"
The God of War Uld's figure suddenly appeared next to a Centaur God holding a spear. The Centaur God had already aimed his spear at Silver, intending to kill him.
"Then what should we do, Uld?
Wait until all the Holy Spirits know about this? "
How annoying!
Silver felt a headache coming on. If these Gods had discussed something else, he could have thought of a friendly way to intervene and talk to them.
But at this moment, these Gods had already subconsciously treated him as an enemy … an enemy that they feared!
The Beauty Goddess tried her best to maintain the smile on her face, but it looked like if Boss Yin didn't give them a satisfactory answer … forget about farming these Gods' favorability points, his favorability points might even go into the negatives at the start.
At this time, Silver's choice was to … play dumb. Using the player's logic to deal with this situation was the best solution.
The player's logic was … the main storyline?
What does it have to do with me?
I'm here to chat with the NPC lady I like.
So, under the terrifying gazes of the Beauty Goddess and the other Gods, Silver arrived in front of the Centaur God named Gachu.
She was the God of Livestock that Silver was looking for.
"Holy Spirit!
I'm not afraid of you! "
Gachu was almost two meters tall. She lowered her head and glared at Silver. If Uld hadn't stopped her, she might have stepped on Silver's face.
"Holy Spirit … I think I need to explain the current situation to you."
The Beauty Goddess still hoped that her cooperation with the Holy Spirits could continue. After all, she still hoped to earn more divine crystals from the Holy Spirits.
"Here." Director Silver took out 100 Divine Power Crystals and handed them to the God of Shepherding.
"What … do you want?"
"I'll hire you."
Silver was too lazy to continue farming favorability points in this situation. He collected so many Divine Crystals to "monopolize" these Gods. Farming favorability points was something he would do after he lured them to the settlement.
"Hire … hire?"
Not only did the God of Livestock's mind crash, but the Beauty Goddess and the other Gods were also stunned for a while.
According to the normal plot, shouldn't Silver be shouting, "You Gods dare to betray us?!"?
"There are many cows and sheep living in my settlement, but they are troubled by the crystal disease on the island. As the God of Livestock, I think you should have a way to cure them." Silver took out a small bag of Divine Crystals and placed it in front of the God of Livestock.
The two bags of divine crystals made the God of Husbandry named Gechu step on the ground uneasily.
"Wait a minute, don't you hate me?
We're planning to … just … "Gechu's hooves seemed to be at a loss for words. She wanted to say something, but she was stopped by a glare from the God of War.
"If you think these Divine Crystals are not enough, I can add more."
CEO Argent didn't mention anything about the Gods' conspiracy, and each of the two bags of Divine Power Crystals that CEO Argent gave out contained a hundred crystals. Just by looking at the Beauty Goddess's expression of "That's great!
How nice! '
His expression was enough to show … how tempting these two bags of crystallized divine power was to a Demigod.
The situation of the God of Husbandry might be even worse than that of the God of Harvest. At least the God of Harvest had temples in many cities. The God of Husbandry was a god that only some nomads and centaurs believed in. Compared to the Mother Goddess of Earth and the God of War, there was a qualitative difference.
In other words … he was very poor.
"No!
That's not the problem! "Just as the God of Husbandry was about to refuse, the God of War made a" Take it! "sign with his lips!
In the end, she had no choice but to reluctantly pick up the two bags of Divine Power Crystals from CEO Argent and temporarily agree to CEO Argent's employment request.
"Then, Holy Spirit, let's continue talking about what we were talking about."
The Beauty Goddess came over and wanted to continue explaining the contents of this meeting, but CEO Argent still chose to ignore her and began to use the same method to recruit other SR-level Gods in the Gods' Parliament.
"Holy Spirit!"
When CEO Argent used the same method to recruit a third God, the Beauty Goddess finally couldn't hold back anymore, but her words were interrupted by someone else!
"The things you guys do always surprise me."
Deng Xi's voice suddenly sounded on the other side of the meeting. The moment God of War heard Deng Xi's voice, a pure gold longsword appeared in his hand, and he wanted to kill Deng Xi in an instant.
"Lord God of War, wait a moment."
Mr. Yin, who had been playing the role of a 'I'm rich and don't know anything' nouveau riche, suddenly spoke up at this moment to stop the God of War Uld from killing Deng Xiis.
"He's an intruder!
The Holy Spirit … is our enemy! "God of War appeared to be very smart at this moment, but CEO Argent did not think so.
"Deng Xi … Deng Xi. Although we've never met before, let me introduce myself. I'm the leader behind the scenes of the Leaping Nucleus guild."
CEO Argent blocked God of War's longsword for Deng Xi, and slowly walked toward the final boss of Blacktide Island with a smile.
"The Leaping Nucleus is the most troublesome batch of Holy Spirits. I'm not surprised that you're their leader, Your Excellency Argent." Deng Xi was unusually polite when talking to CEO Argent.
"It's quite an achievement to be evaluated by a boss behind the scenes like that. Long story short, hand over the Divinity Shard of the Spell Stealer, and stop Blacktide Island from approaching Brandt Island. What conditions do you need to agree to these two things?"
CEO Argent was no longer a player, and was negotiating with Deng Xi as if he was a real person.
"I'm afraid I can't agree to the first request, Lord Silverash … The second is simple. You just need to hand over Yelina, Essien, who's in the Blackwind Stronghold, and my apprentices, and I'll promise not to let the Blacktide Island get close to Brander Island," said Dunheath.
"Ye Linna. I remember that girl …" CEO Argent, of course, remembered Ye Linna. More than half of the hearts of the Leaping Nucleus were produced by Ye Linna.
"She's very important to me. If you agree to this request, I'll slow down the speed at which Blacktide Island reaches Brandt Island. I'll slow it down to one to two years, and not half a month now."
Although Deng Xi's words still sounded very polite, there was actually a hint of threat in them.
"Unfortunately, Ye Linna doesn't belong to me. She's a member of the Leaping Nucleus. And if I do that, her master will kill you directly." CEO Argent shook his head helplessly.
"Then it looks like we can't continue this negotiation. Please allow me to speak the truth. With the combat power of the Holy Spirits under your command, I'm afraid they won't be able to fight against all the dragons on Blacktide Island and the power of the abyss. By then, Brandt Island will be destroyed." Deng Xi continued.
"How do you know that I only have these Holy Spirits under me?"
CEO Argent said. "The Holy Spirits you're facing now are ruins cleaning teams of seventy to eighty people. But do you really think the Holy Spirit teams are only of this scale?"
"You have a total of 872 cleanup squads, and I'm afraid there are only about 300 squads that can often fight against us. That's only 70,000 to 80,000 people … I'm afraid you can only call it a small army. Also …" Deng Xiis paused here, his gaze fixed on the smiling CEO Yin. "You guys aren't professional soldiers. I'm afraid fighting against us in ruin exploration is just … part of your entertainment, right?
Can amateurs compete in a real war? "
"I'll accept your declaration of war on behalf of all the Holy Spirits. Half a month later, I'll show you the ability of amateurs. Please don't be afraid." CEO Argent said.
"Then I'll … look forward to it."
After saying that, Deng Xi's figure disappeared from the hall of the Council of Gods.
