Chapter 537
"The old man is right. It's not rash; it's just the best choice given the current situation. The heavens are still in the dark, so agreeing won't invite any calamity from the heavens. On the contrary, it will allow us to reach a tacit understanding of harmonious coexistence with our distinguished guest. As for the future... if the guest fails to keep his promise, it would be only natural to join forces with the heavens."
Barbatos readily accepted his assessment.
The evaluation by the two oldest gods was unanimously recognized by all the gods.
Kaguya, the pillar of Inazuma's heart, patted her folding fan and nodded, saying:
"In the end, those two have a vision that is beyond our comprehension. They have probably already gathered the necessary intelligence and made advance predictions. Therefore, there is no need for complicated probing and maneuvering in formal negotiations. We can reach an understanding as quickly as possible. As Morax said, the extent to which the contract can be fulfilled depends on their individual actions. And all we can do is follow them."
"Yes. At least everyone already knows a lot of information and should have a general idea of the situation. We should stabilize our own countries and wait and see what happens next."
The King Deshret echoed this sentiment through Nahida's words.
The gods exchanged a smile, and the atmosphere suddenly became very peaceful. To put it another way, they suddenly had the same realization Nahida had had—although the matter was significant, they felt reassured.
After all, with the World Tree protecting us, we don't need to worry too much. Besides, we little Demon God can't handle it at all, so thinking about it is useless.
Anyway, we can leave everything to the invincible World Tree.
'Ah, praise be to the World Tree!' ×N
After silently praising it, the pressure disappeared.
Even Morax felt a little lightheaded – Damn, I don't have to take the blame anymore! I've been waiting for this day for six thousand years! Even the speed at which he was handling the stones suddenly increased.
"Oh, right."
The familiar voice suddenly rang out again, causing the light-hearted gods to freeze in shock.
Then a golden light fell onto the stone in Morax's hand.
Then the descendant pointed his fingers into a sword and gently swung it towards the gods.
The magnificent and powerful sword energy flashed and disappeared in an instant.
"A small gift. Please tell Him that I am satisfied with the negotiations, and if He thinks of any other needs along the way, He can let me know, and I will grant them as appropriate. And you, Beelzebul, I am serious about hiring you. Whenever you have a change of heart, you can come and tell me. That's all."
After the Descendant finished speaking succinctly, it disappeared again in an incomprehensible manner.
This time, they must really be gone, right?
However, it seems that no one has the time or energy to pay attention to this issue anymore.
Everyone present—except for the Erosion Anqi Faction and the brand-new Rosalyn —felt a light and comfortable sensation.
It is light and airy in a physical sense.
Those who felt it most deeply were undoubtedly the old and frail Morax and Barbatos.
Morax was alright; having cultivated his composure for so long, he was used to being calm. So he didn't have much of a reaction, just silently savoring the exhilarating feeling of being reborn.
Barbatos, however, suddenly slumped onto the table, grabbed a drink, and poured it into his mouth:
"Ah~~ So light~~ What a refined person~~~"
Absolutely! It's incredibly meticulous!
Because he had negotiated a deal with little binding force, he was in a good mood and with a wave of his hand, he annihilated the many Demon God who were worried but helpless about the Erosion.
They're not just particular, they're incredibly polite!
Compared to their actual actions, their previous threats and harsh words against the World Tree seemed rather like bluff.
"Um!"
Suddenly, a jolt of electricity ran through Raiden Ei's mind. Having recently read through light novels, she recalled some descriptions that felt very familiar.
"Is this what they call 'tsundere'—saying one thing but doing another?"
"Click!" ×N
Many of the top beauties present at the scene and from all over the country suddenly froze, but I won't say who they are.
"Shadow, shut up!"
Raiden Makoto chuckled and tapped Raiden Ei on the head. "You're really stubborn and speak without thinking. Is this something you can just say whatever you want?"
The invaders may not be far away yet!
However, with their extensive experience of witnessing countless vicissitudes, the gods did indeed sense the discrepancy between the words and actions of the descendant, and there was indeed a sense of insincerity—it can only be said that plans are plans, and true nature is true nature; some things are indeed easy for older people to see through.
Wendy broke out in a cold sweat, her eyes scanning the surroundings before finally settling on Furcalos, who was still experiencing the Erosion process. She walked over and firmly pressed down on Furcalos's shoulder:
"Senior Furcalos! She said she was collecting the Ancient Dragon Authority!"
"Ah?"
