Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan-Chapter 212 - 175: Main God Contract, Ceding a Deity Slot for an Alliance
"Your Highness!!!"
"We greet Your Highness!"
The moment Lince appeared, Sismerton was the first to lower his head and bow in reverence.
The Walrus Sub-dragon and the Whale Dragon naturally followed suit.
Following the roars of the three Sub-dragons, the thousands upon thousands of Demon Beasts in the rear, after a moment of stupor, began to roar toward the sky under the lead of the High Tier Magical Beasts before prostrating themselves in unison.
As for the Flying Demon Beasts, they each lowered their heads and chirped softly toward the behemoth high in the heavens.
Nearly two million Demon Beasts of varying power and size, packed densely on the ground and in the sky, paid their respects to Lince in unison.
The visual effect of that moment was incredibly powerful.
However, Lince had long since stopped caring much about such displays.
When one’s power reached a certain level, it was only natural to have such followers and pageantry.
It was just the way things were.
At this moment, the projection of Divine Matty looked up at the Giant Dragon in the sky.
He spoke after a moment of contemplation:
"Your Highness? It seems you are the one in charge of this invasion of our world."
"How may I address you?"
Lince gave the being before him—one who lacked the typical arrogance of a deity—a strange look and replied casually:
"Address me? Whatever you like."
"We are enemies, not friends. Let’s dispense with the unnecessary pleasantries."
"I’m more interested in this wager you mentioned."
"I can make the decisions for this world. So, can you, the God of Forging, make decisions for your Empire?"
Divine Matty was taken aback, then smiled faintly.
"I have performed this Divine Descent alone. Naturally, I can make the decisions."
"Besides, there is one thing you said that is not quite correct."
Lince remained silent, staring at the deity before him.
’He had no idea what this fellow was thinking.’
Divine Matty, a deity of Powerful Divine Power—Lince had learned of this long ago from a Giant Governor.
This deity was the foremost god under the three Main Gods of the Tobien Empire.
Furthermore, the Empire Theological Research Institute was an incredibly important department in the Tobien Empire.
Its importance was not even second to the Divine Council Hall.
After all, the entire Empire’s civilizational development, and even its research into the Deities and rules of various worlds, all relied on this department.
Therefore, one could only imagine how high Divine Matty’s status was.
For a deity of such high standing to appear before ’enemies’ of the Mortal World like Lince and still remain so calm was truly one of a kind.
Under Lince’s silent, faint gaze, the deity shook his head with a smile and continued as if speaking to himself:
"The Tobien Empire and yourself—or even your world—are not necessarily destined to be enemies."
"If possible, I believe our two civilizations, our two worlds, could even become friends."
As soon as Divine Matty said this, it left Sismerton and the other two Dragon Species completely baffled.
Even the dozen or so Saint Tier Giant Demons flanking the deity were the same, all looking at him with bewildered expressions.
But when Lince heard the deity’s words, a glint flashed in his eyes, and his expression shifted to one of amusement.
"Oh?"
"Now this is a situation I hadn’t anticipated."
"But it’s an interesting proposition. So, you’re saying we can discuss this in detail?"
Divine Matty had been waiting for Lince to say just that.
So, he nodded with a smile.
"Naturally."
"You are a being of an Ancient Species, and your world also has powerful Deities of the Ancient Species."
"Other civilizations may not be qualified to befriend our Empire, but your world absolutely is."
"Of course, if you dislike such phrasing,"
"then you could also see it as: your world is a powerful civilization of an Ancient Species, and we, the Tobien Empire, consider ourselves qualified to befriend it."
"The finer details can be discussed now, but this is clearly not the best place for such a conversation."
"If you are willing, would you please accompany me offshore?"
Hearing the deity’s words, Lince was now genuinely a little astonished.
’He really wants to talk?’
’Just because they probably can’t defeat me in the Mortal World?’
’Has he even been making assumptions about the situation in Oakland World?’
To be honest, this was not a scenario Lince hadn’t considered at all.
However, the probability was extremely, extremely low.
After all, this was an entire world at stake.
And the Giant Demon Empire itself was very powerful and aggressive.
The Deities had not even clashed in the Star Realm yet, but they were already being asked to give up their interests in the Karte World. Lince felt that if he were in their shoes, he definitely wouldn’t let things go so peacefully.
But the actual situation always defied common sense.
Besides, what this "becoming friends" that the deity spoke of actually entailed was still unknown.
Therefore, Lince was naturally interested in hearing him out.
After all, even if Lince believed he had no fear of the Deities’ Power in the Mortal World, the Giant Demon Empire still had Main God Level beings.
Lince didn’t know how strong beings of this level were, but according to the Giant Governor, a Main God was the Dominator of an entire planet.
Their Power had long since reached an inconceivable level.
Therefore, no matter what, Lince still had to be cautious.
After all, the secret of the Gate of Truth couldn’t be hidden forever.
Furthermore, the true situation of Oakland World would surely be exposed one day.
Although only the Saint Tier Dragon Species currently knew of the fall of the Deities, there was no guarantee that a Saint Tier Dragon Species wouldn’t be captured by the Giant Demons in a future war, thereby exposing Oakland World’s true situation.
If that happened, once the Giant Demons learned of Oakland World’s situation...
