Chapter 367: He Couldn’t Let Him Live

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“One of the seven gods?”

Watson held the black viscous liquid in his hand, allowing it to change its shape as he muttered to himself.

He knew that the Holy Dragon Kingdom had seven gods. They were Baldur, the God of Light, Agares, the God of Wind and Navigation, Sidi, the Goddess of Shadows and Potions, Ares, the God of War and Hunting, Diana, the Goddess of Love, Gaia, the God of Earth and Fertility, and Amon, the god known as the Time Traveler.

Watson had only heard of those seven gods. After all, when he was in the City of Steel, he had learned a little about them because he had helped the St. Antilles Cathedral repair the sculptures.

However, no matter how he looked at it, he could not connect that dark mass with a high and mighty god.

“That’s right. I am a god. Furthermore, I am the Great Goddess Sidi, ranked in the top three among the seven gods. Do you fear me now?”

The leopard-headed goddess proudly opened her pitch-black mouth and let out a barbell-like laugh.

“Tell me the truth. What exactly are you?”

“That hurts. Stop it, Brat. I already told you that I am a god. Why don’t you believe me?”

“Don’t think that I’m gullible just because I’m young. I’m going to count to three. If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll absorb you and turn you into a part of my body.”

“Give me a chance. I can prove it to you.”

While the self-proclaimed goddess, Sidi, was begging for mercy, Watson let go of her hand and decided to give her a chance.

“As a god who controls shadows and potions, my main body lives outside of this world. What’s here is only a part of my projection. Even though it’s a projection, I can still display miracles that ordinary people can’t do. I’ll let you witness it.”

As she rubbed her body made of black material, Sidi stretched out something that looked like a tentacle and waved it at the ground. Pitch-black figures immediately appeared on the surrounding walls. Those figures intertwined together and grew wildly. Gradually, they gathered and became shadows that blotted out the sky and the sun.

The shadow opened its black and white eyes and looked down at the world. Its body was connected to the shadows behind every pedestrian on the street below. The shadows were connected, and the pedestrians on the road seemed to be controlled. A smile appeared on the shadow’s face. That scene looked particularly frightening.

“How is it, Brat? Isn’t that miracle great? Can you verify my identity now?”

Watson looked up into the sky and nodded. “I can tell that that is a rule-based ability. A clone that can use a rule-based ability. You must be a real god! However, you’re different from the sculptures made by the church. I did not expect a real god to be so ugly.”

Although the sculptures in the church retained the characteristics of mythical creatures, they were all handsome men and beautiful women, which was in line with human aesthetic standards.

“Brat, why are your words so irritating? I’m a god. Shouldn’t you be more respectful to me?”

“Do you have anything worthy of my respect?”

“You! Forget it. I can’t be bothered to tell you that. As a tolerant God, I forgive your disrespect. As a price, you need to offer your faith to me and praise my name. I will bless you with invincible divine power and extraordinary wisdom, and—”

Without waiting for Sidi to finish speaking, Watson had already exerted a little strength and crushed the black fog in his hand, revealing a thoughtful expression.

“I did not expect that the seven gods that protect the kingdom actually exist, and the king has a relationship with those seven gods. This is going to be difficult.”

He had wanted to find out how many platinum-tier elites the king had by his side, and then overthrow the kingdom and climb to the peak by himself. After all, everyone on Mount Creation was a platinum-tier elite, and they were immortal. He was not afraid, even if there were more platinum-tier experts around the king than he had imagined. However, when he knew that the king was related to an unknown god, he had to make a long-term plan.

After advancing to the diamond tier, Watson finally understood how powerful the starlight-tier was. Common sense could not be used to judge a starlight-tier elite.

....

The banquet officially began not long after Watson left the palace. The noblemen in the palace held wine glasses and tasted delicious food. Most of them had regretful expressions on their faces.

“What a pity! That young man clearly has such powerful strength, but he is so arrogant. He actually left without even attending His Majesty’s banquet.”

“Yeah, I still want to get close to that young man and see if he can join our family. From the looks of it, it should be very difficult for me to get that young man on my side.”

Many nobles discussed it. To them, it did not matter how strong a person was. The key was whether they could use that person. Of course, there were also a few noblemen who showed great interest in Watson. Those noblemen chose to ask Lana and Casey, who came from the Ptolemy family.

“Young Master Casey, Young Miss Lana, I heard that Watson had been to the floating city before he entered the royal city. He even had dealings with the Ptolemy family. I wonder, other than his outstanding strength, how are his knowledge and self-restraint? Which noble family did he come from? Other than the deeds mentioned by His Majesty, what other achievements did he have?”

Watson was not only outstanding, but he was also very knowledgeable. His most famous deed was to pretend to be him and save the floating city, becoming the city’s hero.

Casey used a fork and knife to mash the steak on the plate. He complained in his heart. How could he say those words?

He did not say anything. Lana, on the other hand, was smiling as she chatted with the noblemen. “Watson is a very considerate nobleman. I danced with him when he first got to our family manor. From his dancing, I knew that he had received a high-quality education! It’s not only that, but Watson also knows a lot about shipbuilding technology. He invented a ship called the submarine, which can operate underwater without any risk. I believe that it won’t be long before that brand-new ship will appear in the kingdom.”

“Is that so? Then I’ll have to wait and see.”

King Landhar III did not care about the discussion. A woman’s voice filled his mind; she was cursing loudly in his mind.

“I’m so angry. That damned Watson destroyed my projection without giving me a chance to speak. It caused me to lose my power for nothing. The most important thing is that he disrespected me.”

“Sidi, didn’t you say that you would attack Watson and that you would make him submit and be sacrificed obediently? You must have been too careless to have such an outcome.”

“Since we’ve already alerted the enemy, it seems like we can’t let Sidi continue with the attack. Next, it’s up to me, Agares, the god of wind and navigation, to think of a way to sacrifice that youth.”

After Sidi, a different voice sounded in King Landhar III’s mind. Sunlight shone through the pearl curtain and fell on his body. Behind him, there was a squirming, strange-looking shadow.

“Alright, stop arguing! Sidi, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t grasp it. I’ll have to make a new plan before the next attack. However, I’m curious about how he could kill your projection. That isn’t something a platinum-tier professional can do. Perhaps Watson’s strength is no longer platinum-tier?”

Sid was silent for a long time before she slowly said, “Of course he’s not platinum-tier. He’s a diamond-tier elite.”

Diamond-tier?

King Landhar III was absent-mindedly looking at the ministers in the hall. His smile froze on his face, and then his eyes became gloomy. He was a very controlling emperor. If Watson was only a platinum-tier elite, he did not care if he was the youngest platinum in the kingdom’s history, but Watson was a diamond-tier elite. That was a different story.

Watson had achieved the diamond tier. In the future, he was very likely to become a starlight-tier elite. He would be someone who could break away from his control and hinder his plans. Any factor that hindered him would only have one consequence.

A killing intent flashed in his eyes. Previously, a large part of the reason he had to deal with Watson was to complete the deal with those gods.. However, Landhar III could no longer let Watson live.
