Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan-Chapter 203 - 169: Pseudo-Saint and Pseudo-Demigod, The Path to Deityhood Is Not Simple
As Lince was pondering the Giant Demon Demigod’s situation, Priest Kaven finally came to his senses.
He immediately looked up at the behemoth above him, suppressed his astonishment as best he could, and bowed solemnly to inquire.
Hearing the voice, Lince shifted his gaze to the two figures beneath him.
He then chuckled faintly and said,
"The enemy of the Giant Demons?"
"That’s an interesting title, but not an inaccurate one."
"As for what to call me, you may address me respectfully as ’Your Highness,’ or simply Demon Dragon Nigredo."
"I know you have many questions, but I don’t think now is the time for them."
"Look, those fellows are about to get away. What, do you two not intend to keep them here?"
The Giant Dragon’s massive pupils, like two Bright Moons, looked down from above.
As he spoke, his gaze shifted toward the fleeing Giant Demon Fleet.
Priest Kaven was stunned.
’There’s actually a being that calls itself a Demon Dragon?’
’This... the word Demon... could it not be a derogatory term in the Otherworld?’
’However, now isn’t the time to dwell on that.’
At Lince’s prompting, both Priest Kaven and Flame Yide turned their attention to the Giant Demon Fleet escaping in the distance.
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness!"
"Indeed, it is time for the two of us to act."
"Please wait just a moment, Your Highness. We will return shortly and will not disappoint you."
They were all intelligent people.
After Lince confirmed his identity, they considered the fact that he had just saved them.
It was clear that this unknown, powerful being’s intentions weren’t as simple as just rescuing them.
Whether he wanted to subjugate them or cooperate with them, it was obvious the two of them had few other choices at the moment.
But at the very least, this being currently showed no malice.
So, compared to siding with the Giant Demons, siding with a powerful enemy of the Giant Demons was clearly a better option.
Still, deep down, they were both somewhat intimidated.
’Does such a powerful being truly need our Power?’
They feared he might have ill intentions as well—that they had just jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Cleaning up the remaining forces overseas went smoothly.
Having lost their greatest advantage, the Giant Demons were quickly slaughtered by the two Saint Tier Professionals.
Of course, the two Saint Tier Professionals also called upon a group of Professionals of various tiers from Coral Island.
They then had these Professionals take a group of Giant Demons captive.
Additionally, at least a third of the warships and Airships the Giant Demons had brought with them became spoils of war for Coral Island.
Because of Lince’s intervention in this battle, Coral Island had a blessing in disguise. Its strength was even bolstered significantly by the acquisition of the Giant Demons’ warships and Airships.
As for Priest Kaven and Flame Yide, Lince simply had them arrange matters on Coral Island before carrying them across Space, arriving above Dawn City in an instant!
Looking down from high above, a familiar yet foreign horizon came into view once more.
"It’s been over a hundred years!"
"Including this time, we have only set foot on the continent three times in total."
"The first two times, we had to sneak in, arriving and departing in a rush."
"This time, I think, with Your Highness’s help, perhaps we can finally return to the continent for good?"
Priest Kaven looked down at the land, sighing with emotion while simultaneously using his words to probe the terrifyingly large Lince.
To be honest, having such an enormous Body Type wasn’t always a good thing.
At the very least, an ordinary Transcendent probably couldn’t even see Lince’s entire form from head to tail.
Let alone converse with him in any normal fashion.
But, it would all be fine.
Once he stepped into the Saint Tier and his body could fully undergo Elementalization, Lince would be able to change his form.
It was just that changing form would consume energy.
Especially since after reaching the Saint Tier, Lince’s true flesh-and-blood form might become even more massive, meaning the smaller he became, the greater the energy consumption might be.
After all, the previous Space Dragon had lived outside the Oakland Planet as a satellite, much like a moon.
His Body Type was simply too immense; the future Lince would inevitably face the same situation.
’But it’s useless to think about that now.’
’I’ll deal with the future when it comes. Besides, don’t ordinary Deities have to raise their Divine Kingdoms and ascend to outer space when they achieve godhood anyway?’
Lince focused his vision on Priest Kaven, who was standing before his massive eye.
Before Lince could speak, the Shadow Wind Dragon Eagle that had returned with them was the first to shout,
"You unreasonable old human!"
"What? My master saved you, and you still don’t believe in his greatness and benevolence?"
"Take a good look!"
"In the city below, do you know how many humans like you believe in my master?"
"Stop using your Human Race’s filthy way of thinking to speculate on my master’s greatness and benevolence."
"If it weren’t for the fact that you are also of the Human Race, and out of consideration for some of the humans under his command in the city, my master wouldn’t have bothered to save you."
"With your meager strength, you are completely dispensable to my master as he is now."
"In short, you two humans had better not think too highly of yourselves. You’re merely Saint Tier, after all..."
The Shadow Wind Dragon Eagle had finally found its chance to speak up.
As the Magic Pet of the great Lince, it now believed that it too would reach the Saint Tier sooner or later.
Therefore, the Dragon Eagle felt a strong sense of belonging to its master, Lince.
Thus, it immediately refuted Priest Kaven’s words, hoping to make its presence known before its master.
