After reaching an agreement, King Dake went to the temple to pray, reporting the entire matter in detail to the gods and asking how he should handle it.
In the palace of the human gods, the Lord of Glory suddenly curled the corner of His mouth, revealing a faint smile.
For Him, who was always stern, this was an exceedingly rare sight. The gods were so surprised that the God of Heroes could not help asking, "Your Majesty, is there something worth celebrating?"
"Not worth celebrating, perhaps, but it is rather interesting," said the Lord of Glory. "I've just received word that Void Mask has planted himself on the border between the Kingdom of Thousand Springs and the Dwarf Kingdom, refusing to let either side go to war."
The human gods looked at one another, unable to understand what was so interesting about this.
"The Kingdom of Thousand Springs often attacks the Dwarf Kingdom; I assume you all know that. But this time, the Dwarf Kingdom received support from the Orc Empire. They believed they could not win on their own, so they used a fragment of a god's corpse that they had obtained by chance in the past as payment to reach an agreement with the Arcane Tower Federation, preparing for a joint offensive." The Lord of Glory said, "Yet just as they finished their preparations and were about to dispatch troops, that big jellyfish flopped down on the border. With no other choice, they prayed to Me and asked for guidance on what to do—don't you find that interesting?"
The human gods fell silent for a while. In the end, the relatively high-ranking God of Heroes sighed and honestly said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but I truly can't see what is interesting about this..."
