Chapter 161: Who’s More Arrogant Than Whom?

Chapter 161: Who’s More Arrogant Than Whom?

"Hahahaha! The God of Death is launching a full-scale attack on the Internet God? Wonderful! What a delightful case of dog-eat-dog! Hahaha…"

Inside the Greg Cathedral, the Wisdom Goddess laughed wildly, her voice unrestrained and triumphant, as if a weight had been lifted from her chest!

"What a spectacle! A grand drama is unfolding!"

"Hahaha, truly a case of dog-eat-dog!"

"The Internet God won’t be an easy opponent either. This is going to be quite the show!"

"Serves him right! If it weren’t for him, would we be in this mess?"

Seated below the Wisdom Goddess, the Goddess of Luck, the God of Dark Night, the God of Fear, and the Goddess of Pleasure all joined in with gleeful schadenfreude, their expressions excited and utterly lacking in decorum! Some even slammed the table in approval!

It was no wonder they were so unhinged.

The spread of the Dark Web was simply too terrifying.

Originally, they had been troubled by the Internet God’s infiltration into their domains.

But now, the God of Death had launched a direct assault, catching them off guard and leaving them powerless to retaliate!

Compared to the God of Death, the Internet God’s earlier infiltration seemed almost gentle.

Of course, the Internet God’s subsequent Propaganda Leaflets had thoroughly humiliated the gods, turning their faces green with fury.

Even worse, while the Azarea Continent remained relatively calm, the preaching zones of the gods in various small and medium domains suffered devastating losses!

Especially in domains where the God of Death had already seized territory—large-scale Fifth Calamity forces were deployed, catching the gods completely unprepared and forcing them into retreat!

Naturally, this left the gods seething with hatred toward the God of Death.

And now, at this very moment, the God of Death had withdrawn his forces to focus entirely on attacking the Keville Empire. Could there be any more delightful news?

Absolutely not!

"Veronica, do you think the Internet God can withstand the God of Death’s assault?" the Goddess of Luck asked.

"Him? With what? His demon army? The Fourth Calamity? Or those precious mages of the Keville Empire?"

The Wisdom Goddess, Veronica, sneered dismissively.

"However, even if he can’t hold out, given the abilities he’s displayed so far, he might still drag this out for three to five years. If I’m not mistaken, he’ll surely come begging for our help. And that will be our best opportunity to demand the production lines."

The Wisdom Goddess narrowed her eyes and continued, "If we want to resist the God of Death’s forces, those production lines are our only chance!"

The gods of Kaman were stunned.

But they quickly grasped the logic behind her words.

Firearms could rapidly turn ordinary farmers into combat-ready soldiers!

To counter the endless tide of the Fifth Calamity, they had to mobilize all available forces from the lower ranks.

Thus, firearms were the key!

"Unfortunately, the Internet God has no time left! No—rather, the God of Death has seen through him clearly. He’d rather give us a chance to develop than allow the Internet God any breathing room."

The Wisdom Goddess sighed, declaring the inevitable outcome of this battle.

"This war will end in the Internet God’s utter defeat!"

……

……

Meanwhile, in the Belen Cathedral of the Plen Union Kingdom, the God of Fertility, the God of Plague, and the God of Misfortune had also gathered to discuss the God of Death’s attack on the Keville Empire.

"Who would’ve thought the God of Death would go all-out against the Internet God? This is sheer madness!"

"If given the chance, I would also go all out to attack the Internet God! The Internet God's potential is too immense. As long as we seize his preaching zones, the Fourth Calamity will naturally become irrelevant, and from then on, the multiverse will be at the mercy of the Dark Web! Within a millennium, the multiverse will inevitably achieve unification!"

"So you're saying we should help the Internet God?"

"No. No matter how weak the Internet God is, he can still hold out for a while. Let’s wait—wait for him to come to us!"

……

As expected, the God of Death’s full-scale assault on the Keville Empire shocked the gods of the Azarea Continent!

"The Internet God is finished!"—this became the consensus among the gods of Azarea.

However, they did not take this opportunity to attack the God of Death in a "Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao" maneuver. Instead, most adopted a spectator’s stance, gleefully watching the "dog-eat-dog" conflict unfold!

To them, the God of Death was an enemy, and so was the Internet God.

What could be more satisfying than watching two enemies tear each other apart?

Of course, they weren’t truly foolish.

They simply wanted to squeeze the last bit of value out of the Internet God—such as his firearm production lines.

If the Internet God truly couldn’t hold out, they might still consider attacking the God of Death… or offering the Internet God some token support.

……

Amidst the overwhelming pessimism from the outside world, Yu Sheng'an entered the Saint Todd Raleigh Cathedral with Aphnora and Phoebus.

This was the core cathedral of the God of Life on the Azarea Continent!

The moment Yu Sheng'an stepped through the cathedral doors, the massive structure trembled imperceptibly. The preacher delivering the sermon froze, his eyes locking onto Yu Sheng'an with shock.

Expressionless, Yu Sheng'an led Aphnora and Phoebus past the long rows of prayer benches until he stood before the preacher.

"I wish to meet the Five Great Righteous Gods—excluding the God of Death, of course."

The preacher shuddered, his horrified expression suddenly smoothing into calm. He gave Yu Sheng'an a deep look, closed his scripture book, abandoned his praying believers, and strode toward a nearby confession room.

Yu Sheng'an followed without hesitation.

By the time he entered the small chamber, three figures had already appeared inside.

They were none other than the God of War, Mother Earth, and the God of the Sea.

"Well, well, look who’s here? If it isn’t the Internet God!" The God of War rose to his feet, a mocking grin on his face, his eyes burning with madness. "Ah, let me guess—could it be that you’re losing to the God of Death and have come begging for help?"

As his words fell, the other three gods turned their amused gazes toward Yu Sheng'an.

Aphnora and Phoebus instinctively glanced at him, their eyes flickering with disbelief.

When Yu Sheng'an had announced his intention to visit the God of Life, they had immediately understood his plan to turn the tables.

Yes—the only ones capable of defeating the God of Death were the Five Great Righteous Gods!

Forget the God of War, or even the God of the Sea, whose authority was largely useless on land.

The combined might of the God of Life and Mother Earth alone would be enough to halt the God of Death’s advance!

After all, they were beings who ruled over an entire Primary Domain—their hidden depths were unfathomable.

The God of Death’s dominance, in the end, was merely the result of the Fifth Calamity unleashing the full potential of his Underworld.

But then again—why would the Five Great Righteous Gods ever attack the God of Death?

"This is absolutely impossible!

Not to mention they're still allies! Even if they weren't, they wouldn’t risk thoroughly offending the God of Death just for the Internet God!"

"Congratulations, wrong answer! I’m not here to beg for help—I’m here to demand that you join forces and attack the God of Death!"

Yu Sheng'an sat sprawled in the seat meant for the priest, chin raised, his face brimming with arrogance as he stared down the four gods before him. His posture left them utterly stunned.

BANG!

The God of War slammed his fist onto the table in front of Yu Sheng'an, shattering it into countless splinters. He then leaned down, his face nearly touching Yu Sheng'an's, and snarled with fury:

"Who the hell do you think you are, daring to order us around?"

"Internet God, we are allies of the God of Death. Why should we join forces to attack him?"

The God of Life, possessing the body of a missionary, spoke calmly from his seat. Since the Internet God had come to them, he must have prepared bargaining chips. He wanted to see what the Internet God had to offer.

Meanwhile, Mother Earth and the God of the Sea both watched Yu Sheng'an with deep, inscrutable expressions.

At this moment, Aphnora and Phoebus, standing behind Yu Sheng'an, were drenched in cold sweat, their hearts screaming that he had gone mad!

Especially Phoebus—his temples throbbed violently.

The Prophecy Godhood told him that Yu Sheng'an had no chance of persuading the four major righteous gods to unite against the God of Death!

Because he couldn’t offer a sufficient price!

Each of the four major gods ruled over a Primary Domain, rich in resources and overflowing with Source Essence. There was little left in this world that could tempt them!

Even if Yu Sheng'an offered the Dragon Factory, it would be useless.

Because once Willis City fell, the four gods would have countless opportunities to seize the production lines in the chaos!

"Keh keh keh…"

Yu Sheng'an let out a twisted laugh, his face inches from the God of War’s, his expression maniacal as he sneered:

"If you won’t fight the God of Death, then I’ll fight you instead!"

Silence.

Dead silence filled the confession room, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

A thick sense of absurdity rose in the hearts of the gods.

Yet the cleverest among them understood everything in an instant—and their faces drained of blood.
