Chapter 49 The gods also have strife
"You may be seated. β
The goddess of wisdom casually pointed to one of the temple's floors, and the tiles were turned upside down, one by one, jumping on top of the other, and in the blink of an eye, a beautiful tall stone table and six high-backed chairs were built.
The goddess walked over and knocked on the table, and another silver kettle and six silver cups bounced out of the table.
"I don't like tea or coffee, although they are both refreshing drinks, but the taste is somewhat bitter, and the fruit juice that is a specialty of my kingdom tastes good and works better. β
Leo took the cup and couldn't help but glance at the silver kettle in the goddess of wisdom.
The pot is no more than the size of a palm, and according to the volume, it can hold no more than half a cup of juice, but after pouring six cups in a row, the silver kettle has not even changed the angle of inclination.
Sure enough, nothing in the kingdom of God can be judged according to common sense.
The goddess of wisdom took a sip of juice and looked at Leo, "Tell me what you know about your parents." β
Leo sat up straight, and was about to speak, but the goddess of wisdom waved her hand.
"Don't be so inhibited, relax. Although I am friends with your parents, I am not the same age as them, and I am three or four hundred years older than them. β
(Shouldn't that be more restrained?) οΌ
The hearts of the people began to murmur silently.
"Three or four hundred years old, isn't that the time before and after the creation of the holy calendar? "Isenus found some clever timing in the words of the goddess of wisdom.
"Yes. The goddess of wisdom nodded. "I and the Lord God of Light are both gods who have been through the Sacred Calendar War. β
"For more than four hundred years, the moral sense of mortal beings has become very little bound to me. You just have to think of me as a friend. β
The goddess poured herself another glass of juice and drank it all, and even smacked her lips unsatisfied.
Seeing that the goddess of wisdom didn't have any shelf, as if she was really a lively family girl, Leo also relaxed a little.
He relaxed his seat, leaned back in his chair and took a sip of juice.
A sweet smell and fragrance rushed from the tongue coating into the nasal cavity, and then from the nasal cavity to the brain, and the mind suddenly felt cool, and the fatigue after the war was swept away.
Leo looked at the cup in his hand in surprise.
"It's the best drink I've ever had, not even the spirits. β
"Just call me Metis, and tell me about your parents. Metis poured him full of juice again.
Leo put down his glass, sorted his thoughts a little, and said, "I grew up adventuring around the world with my mother, and only occasionally came home to see my father. It wasn't until two years ago, during an adventure, that my mother died of her injuries, and I returned home. My father had been ignoring the cause of my mother's death, and I was so angry that I took the risk of taking the bhuga. β
Leo briefly talked about his past, and couldn't help but hide a lot of details in the middle.
Metis glanced at Leo with a meaningful eye.
Because of the huge gap in information, Leo didn't know how much the goddess of wisdom in front of him believed his words. He fidgeted a little under Metis's scrutiny.
In the end, Metis didn't say anything, just shook his head and said, "I can offer you something about your parents' past, and in exchange, you have to grant me a request." β
Leo was shocked, and he agreed: "No problem!
"Oh, what if I want you to die?" Metis blinked, teasing Leo.
Leo's confident expression immediately stiffened: he said with some uneasiness: "I don't think you're so boring. β
Metis laughed happily again: "But for a long time, the most common emotion of the gods was boredom. β
When Leo heard this, he became depressed again.
He couldn't guess why a god who had lived for more than 400 years in the name of wisdom could not have the majesty of a god at all, but was a good scoundrel.
Metis restrained his smile and admonished, "Don't agree to other people's requests so easily, lest you be like your father." β
"My father?
Metis pressed his palm in the air, stopping Leo's words.
After a deep sigh, Metis spoke slowly.
"Since it involves your parents and the gods, I'll start from the beginning. β
"More than 400 years ago, the god-king integrated the human race and began to officially step into the stage of the four races of dwarves, elves, goblins, and orcs. During a decade-long passive defense, the God-King touched the throne of the gods, which allowed the humans to overpower the other four races for a while. However, the good times did not last long, and the god king's act of stepping on the divine throne seemed to have opened some kind of restraint, and the gods of the five main clans began to ignite the divine fire one after another, and the battle became difficult again. β
"I am one of those gods who were born, and in a certain battle, I was able to resist the power of multiple main gods and slumber. β
"After the domination of the human race, the gradual prosperity of life gave my followers the strength to revive me. β
"However, when I woke up, I realized that the whole divine system had changed drastically. The god king is nowhere to be found, the god system originally led by the god king has also fallen apart, the orthodox god system inherited by the main god of light has begun to suppress other god systems unscrupulously, several weak god systems are still breathing, and the neutral gods are also missing, in such a complicated situation, I don't dare to announce the recovery with great fanfare, so I have to collect intelligence in secret. β
"In the more than thirty years since I awakened, I learned about the two new gods, the God of Conspiracy and the God of Lies. β
"According to the rules of the divine system, the priesthood of these two gods can be regarded as my subordinate priesthood, that is, they can be subsumed under my divine system. But their divine power aura stood tenaciously with the Lord God of Light. β
"From then on, I began to investigate the divine line of the Lord God of Light, and got a result that surprised me. β
"All the gods who have fallen or fallen asleep in history have been resurrected in the god system of the Lord God of Light by direct or indirect means, and some of them cannot be resurrected, so he has sought a substitute priesthood, just like the god of conspiracy and the god of lies. β
"His actions were very much in line with a plan that we had at the time, omniscient, omniscient. At that time, we tried to suppress all the alien gods through this plan. β
Saying "omniscient and omnipotent", Metis's face showed solemnity and awe.
"The gods are simply moving forward on their own embodied rules, and the path of the rules has an end after all. If you want to continue to be strong, you can only broaden your own rules. This is the reason why most god wars are launchedββββ rule that the winning side has the right to take the losing side. β
"However, the gods are constantly being produced, and the gods are fighting endlessly. The subtlety of the omniscient and omnipotent plan is that it bypasses the divine war, and it uses the affiliation of the priesthood to establish a divine system, and the god king can use the rules of all the gods in the divine system to a limited extent. If there are enough gods in the god system, then the god king can be said to be omniscient and omnipotent. β
"The plan is beautiful, but I have found a loophole in it, and that is that such a priesthood should not be touched by intelligent life, and omniscience and omnipotence is the ability to surpass countless natural gods, belief in God, and one God, and such ability will bring disaster to our race. A swarm of ants gnawed open the dam, and all they could get was the soaked nest. β
"Under such concerns, the omniscient omnipotence has just started and ended, leaving only the experimental object of the god system. However, the Lord of Light, knowing what his purpose was, once again activated the plan. β
"While I was secretly stopping him, a young man named Hoggs was bewitched by the Cult of the Illuminati and revealed our plans and sect. Out of the intention of spying on my godhead and preserving the omniscience and omnipotence, he sent the god of trickery and the god of lies to start a divine war against me. β
"Originally, the two lower gods attacked the upper gods, even if I didn't do it, they wouldn't take the slightest advantage from me. β
"But there will always be accidents, no matter how wise you are, there will always be things that are beyond your knowledge. β
"The young man named Hoggs used his life as a medium to open a teleportation channel to the dragon plane. Luckily, only seven Commanders had passed through the portal, and the even more terrifying army of dragons was locked out of the portal. β
"Even if only seven guys come in, it's not something my church can resist, the top three demon dragons, all of them have the strength to not lose too much to me. β
Hearing Metis mention the strength of these seven demon dragons, the adventure group nodded one after another, the demon dragons outside have all mastered the means of energy changeability, and they are at least one level higher than them in terms of level, if it weren't for their great reduction in strength, any demon dragon would be able to clean them up.
"Because we practice a secret mission, and concealment means that we have few allies, and the only one who can help us at this time is your father. β
The goddess of wisdom glanced at Leo's sword.
"When your father heard this, he told me neatly that one of the conditions he owed me was now settled, and then he took the Bugati on your waist and hurried before us all night. β
"Although your parents can resist the top two demon dragons with the combined efforts of the top three, they have no power left over the remaining four demon dragons. Originally, as long as they took away my core church members, I could find another time to retreat, but I never expected that the god of lies and wisdom hidden in the shadows launched a divine war against me, and once I left the kingdom of God under my feet, my priesthood would be taken away by them. And according to the rules of the gods, once my priesthood is occupied by other gods, I will not even have a chance to recover. β
Metis sighed and said regretfully, "Your father's character is decisive, and he has abandoned the more important scabbard of Bugati and arranged the seal. β
"But it takes time to set up the seal, and after temporarily losing your father's combat power, your mother and I had a great time resisting, and at this moment, the little guy from Tonya Falls appeared and volunteered to block the fifth and sixth demon dragons. β
However, it was still too reluctant for such a little guy to face such a dangerous enemy in the first battle, and although he completed the task, he inevitably fell into a deep sleep of serious injuries. I couldn't bear it, so I established a two-way contract with him, hanging his life with my divine power, and if his divine power was restored, it could also be fed back to the sleeping me. Unfortunately, his premature awakening disrupted the plan. Before he fell, he transmitted the energy of the Godhead to me through this connection, and I was awakened as a result. β
Metis changed the subject with a dejected expression.
Everyone also remembered the god who controlled the thunder and rain, and although they were not the culprits who woke him up, they were the accomplices who indirectly caused his fall. Several of them bowed their heads in tacit agreement.
"Although he had the help of the God of the Waterfall, your father's seal was still a little less meaningful, and he had to use the power of the family heirloom artifact to complete the seal. However, the price is that he must sit near the artifact forever, and I think that's why your father didn't care about your mother's business. β
"Even if you know, what? β
Leo suddenly remembered the places his mother's adventures had been, all of which were related to rumors of dragons, or some kind of powerful artifact, and again some kind of strange magic. And the rumors of those treasures, my mother turned a blind eye.
Come to think of it, my mother has been running around for the seal on my father all these years, right?
Thanks to Leo for all these years, he stubbornly thinks that his father is a bastard, but he didn't expect that everything was just his own cleverness.
What is the real relationship between father and mother over the years?
