Chapter 448: Chapter 158

Not until they were reminded by Yorgaardman did the gods realize that there should be a celebration, so they quickly sent out an Oracle.

The churches and followers in the human world had known that the god they had believed in took part in an extremely fierce war, and they had also known that this war was inevitable in order to maintain peace. Now, they got together under the organization of the churches and clergymen to pray together—this was the necessary procedure because the prayers of all people united in one purpose could greatly encourage the gods and enable them to exert more power in the fight.

Now, after accepting the Oracle, the clergymen who had been anxious about the result of the war began to laugh. They sent the Oracle to the equally anxious followers.

Immediately, carols were heard everywhere. These believers laughed happily and sang in unison in the altars and divine temples under the leadership of the clergymen to praise this great victory.

The carols constantly turned into pure power of belief. The gods felt the power clearly, and they looked at each other and couldn’t help but smile.

“This time, we take these power for granted.” Javier said, “Actually, we did nothing in the war.”

“No, you came at the critical moment and stood with me under the great risk. You helped a lot.” Sui Xiong’s Message-Sending Clone said with a smile.

“We should have done more.” The Goddess of Ocean, Ariel, sighed. “Because of Vorpocus, I have put all my efforts into civil affairs. Thus, I didn’t pay enough attention to the improvement of the military force. Now, it seems that what I have done is an overcorrection, and I have reached another wrong path. After I go back this time, I will begin to train the military force. Thus, I will certainly be able to help in the war next time!”

The Goddess of Wealth, Manissy, shook her head and said, “There won’t be a next time. This time, Auscar has shown imaginably strong power. All the gods are scared of him now, so there won’t be any who dares to make an attack openly at such a grand scale.”

“In other words, if they want to attack Auscar next time, they’ll have to choose a time when he is alone or make a sudden joint attack,” Morani said with a bitter smile. “At that time, it will be too late for us to help, even if we wanted to.”

“Why are you so worried?” Sui Xiong laughed. “It will be quite an honor for me if they treat me as a great Divine Power! What’s more, even if they make a joint attack, it will be nothing serious. I can just cause another explosion.”

“That’s right. They won’t attack you until they find a way to fight against your bombs.” Leonard nodded and directly left the God’s Kingdom to train his army.

As for Sui Xiong’s three followers, they had been busy with his arrangement—they mainly followed the clone of Yorgaardman to collect their spoils of the war. They went to the God’s Kingdom of those that had died in the explosion and took away the treasure there.

There was a lot of work for them, and it would cost them a lot of time, so they were not sure whether they would be in time for the celebration.

There must be a grand celebration for such a great victory!

In the Pantheon temple, Wall and the others were surrounded by those kind gods that came to congratulate them. In this war, Sui Xiong had killed over one hundred evil gods, and that greatly reduced the evil power. Even the fierce leader of the Alliance of Evil Gods, the God of Fear, had almost been beaten to death, and that made the evil gods lose their support. It could be estimated that in a long period of time in the future, the kind gods would be able to outweigh the evil ones in a fight. This was all thanks to Sui Xiong’s Bonn!

Wall and the others had never seen such a scene, so they were at a loss and didn’t know how to deal with it. The new God of Healing showed an attitude of “don’t ask me, because I won’t say anything.” She pretended to concentrate on reading a fantastically thick dictionary and completely threw the responsibility of welcoming the guests to her two colleagues.

Or, to Wall.

Because Arcaian was quite a nerd addicted to techniques, so he didn’t know how to deal with so many compliments. He was so embarrassed that he didn’t even know where to put his hands.

In response to the congratulations of the kind gods, Wall kept on being polite and thankful, and his face was stiff with laughter.

It was hard work, but he felt happy.

On the contrary, the God’s Kingdom of the War God System, the Testing Ground for Martyrs, had a gloomy atmosphere.

The War God System had been invited by the God of Fear cooperate and make a joint attack on the Void Mask and his allies. It was supposed to be an overwhelming victory for them, but on the contrary, it turned out to be a complete loss.

None of the gods of the War God System died in the war, but that didn’t mean that they didn’t get hurt. Since they had planned to storm Sui Xiong’s God’s Kingdom, they had prepared many special weapons, and those were of great importance. With their defeat in the war, the gods fled in a panic, and nothing else could be taken away except the equipment on their body. It was really a complete loss. It was like that in a battle between two armies, one side was defeated, and its commander took nothing else away except for his armor and horse. That was embarrassing and tragic.

“No matter what, we managed to come back alive.” Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, the God of War, Wenner, comforted them with a forced smile. “It isn’t a complete loss for us. As long as we’re alive, there will be a chance for us in the future.”

“Your Majesty, in the future we really can’t go against the Void Mask anymore!” the God of Strategy, Augmentin, tried to persuade him. “His explosions were too powerful! He could even explode twice in a run. That was amazing! I have been thinking about it, and I haven’t figured out a way to win against him!”

After hearing that, the God of War smiled bitterly. “Go against him?! I’m not insane! That guy is beyond powerful. If I go to disturb him again, it will be the end of my life!”

Then, he was silent for a moment. He pondered for a while and said in a low voice, “Later, let’s count what treasure we have now and send him some as a present.”

“What?!”

The gods of the War God System were astonished at first, but after some thinking, they understood the intention of their leader.

The battlefield was like a casino. If one dared to take part in a war, he had to be willing to accept the result for losing everything. If he won, he could rob the treasure from others, and if he lost, he had to pay for it. This was an eternally immutable rule.

However, led by Wenner, the War God System had been invincible all along. They had never failed once. No matter what kind of enemy they met, as long as His Majesty Wenner came out, they would win in the end. Even though last time they failed to annex the Desolation God System, it was actually a victory, too. It was just that they failed to win the entire battle.

However, this time, the whole War God System took part in the war in full swing but suffered a great loss in which only the gods managed to come back. It was really something had never happened before!

For the gods of War God System, there was only victory, so they had forgotten the duties of a defeated party.

It wasn’t until they were reminded by the God of War that everyone realized that they had lost the war this time, and they had to pay for it.

For a while, the atmosphere became more gloomy, and even the God of Berserker was depressed and did not want to say anything.

Losing the battle was one aspect, but more importantly, it made them lose confidence.

Sui Xiong’s first explosion was powerful, but the second terrible explosion was indeed amazing. The gods of the great Divine Powers had been discussing in private about how it worked since then. Even though Sui Xiong was not dead after his first explosion, he should have been seriously injured. How could he explode twice?

In the face of the two consecutive explosions, even if the God of Light couldn’t say that he could win, let alone the rest.

It was a complete failure for the evil gods this time.

After several sighs and complaints, Augmentin stood up and headed to the treasure house to select the present.

Over the years, as a diplomat of the War God System, he did not know how many times he had held his head high to accept others’ reparations or how many times he had blackmailed others. But now, he had to prepare reparations for others. He only wished that there wouldn’t be a next time!

“There won’t be a next time!” As if he had guessed what the others were thinking, the God of War lowered his voice and said firmly, “There will never be a next time!”

“Oh? What are you going to do, Boss?” The God of Berserker raised his head with hope in his eyes that were as big as a buffalo’s.

The God of War smiled, and his eyes shone with a cunning light. “I’ve decided to make an alliance with the Void Mask!”

“What?!” The other gods shouted out together. They were as astonished if seeing thunderbolts in the clear sky.

“Why do you look like that? Is there anything wrong with my idea?” Seeing his subordinates acting as if they had just seen a ghost, the God of War couldn’t control his anger. “Are you becoming arrogant after the victories before? I have to make it clear here; the whole War God System can’t defeat the Void Mask. Thus, why not just be obedient to him and regard him as the leader after we make an alliance with him? What’s wrong with the weak being obedient to the strong?” The God of War stood up and asked loudly, “Who has a different opinion? Speak directly! This is our private discussion, so no need to hide it!”

His eyes swept over the gods of the War God System. Although they were unsatisfied, none of them expressed a different opinion.

What should they say? It was true that they were weaker!

“What’s more, I have no other choice!” The God of War sat down again and said with a deep sigh, “Do you know that? I have just gotten some reliable news that the God of Fear didn’t return to his God’s Kingdom.”

“What?!”

“Where did he go?”

The God of War looked up into the sky, silent for a moment, and said, “The clone of the God of Justice is chasing after him. Yorgaardman means it this time, and he says that he will beat the God of Fear to death even if he has to chase after him to the end of the world.”

With that, the God of War said with a sigh again, “In this war, the Fear God System, the Alliance of Evil Gods and we made a joint attack on the Void Mask and his allies. Now, the Alliance of Evil Gods has collapsed, and only a few of the evil gods survived. I don’t even know whether they can manage to recover. So has the Fear God System. The God of Fear is being chased by the God of Justice, and there is almost no way out for him. So, do you really think that the Void Mask will forgive us after we pay him a lot of money?”

The gods of the War God System didn’t say anything. They just looked at each other, only to find upset expressions on each other’s face.

That was true. Two of the three parties that made the joint attack had been completely defeated, and the War God System was the only safe side now. The Void Mask was such a fierce master that he could even make himself explode twice, so there was no way for him to forgive them so easily!

“If we don’t honestly lower our heads and be obedient to him to make him satisfied, then I’m afraid that he will come to blow us to ashes!”

In a helpless silence, the God of War sat back in his throne powerlessly and gave orders to the God of Strategy, Augmentin. Augmentin had just come back with a huge package.

“Go ahead and visit the Void Mask. Either to admit our mistake or to beg for his mercy or to regard him as our leader… No matter what, as long as he is willing to forgive us, we will do anything.”
