196 Slaying a God (2/2)

I was fully satisfied from the feeling of victory, and as I watched Wumianzhe’s soul return to the heavens above, I gave up any resistance and sunk into a deep slumber.

...

”Congratulations; you did it.”

After waking up, the first sentence I heard was rather surprising.

The next moment, however, all my fatigue instantly vanished, because I recognized the identity of the young-seeming person before me.

”Ayer.”

The person learning against the window and gazing outside was precisely the Death God Ayer. It was only that this time, he wasn’t wearing his signature black robe; the long white robe he was currently donning actually made him resemble a bookish scholar.

”What did I do?”

I was still suffering from the backlash of using God’s Descent. My memories were still a chaotic swirl in my mind, and I had no idea what had happened after I had fallen asleep.

Ayer was surprised at my question, but then he chuckled.

”Felix died. Although it was with the participation of another God, he’s still perhaps the first True God to die by a mortal’s hand in more than two thousand years.”

My memories gradually returned, and I recalled how the Poison God was finally surrounded and slain. It was very likely that the entire world was shocked—a True God was slain immediately after ascending. Lorci would definitely be infuriated…

”Right, did Lorci do anything? How did she react?”

”Lorci is dead.”

Ayer casually tossed such a tremendous bomb at me.

”Dead? How did she die?”

Unlike Felix, Lorci had descended to the mortal plane using her true body. Although she wouldn’t be able to return to her Divine Country for the time being, a True God in her complete form would definitely possess frightening strength—a completely different level from Felix, who was a fresh new God that had descended into a host’s body. Lorci was a veteran True God with far greater strength than Felix. Who in the mortal plane could possibly kill her?

”It was the Demon Prince Karwenz. Not even Lorci’s corpse remained.”

”Karwenz!?”

”Yep. It is highly probable that her double betrayal angered the big shots of both sides. The leaders of Chaos wanted to kill her, and nobody on the Order side was willing to protect her, so she ended up dying. Hmph. This will scare those who are still undecided and sitting on the fence.”

Ayer described it so casually, but with a little deduction on my part, I was aware that the death of the two dark elf Gods would cause a huge wave.

”Right, how’s the battlefield in the Northlands? What happened to those beastmen in the end?”

”Ask her; she’s probably anxious to see you.”

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Elisa entered; upon seeing me awake, she had an obviously relieved expression.

”You’re finally awake—you’ve been sleeping for six days already. If you didn’t wake up soon, I wouldn’t have known what to do.”

Six days? My chaotic memories must have clouded my mind, as I felt like it was less than a day.

Following Elisa was a vast mob of noisy people. And they all had something in common...

”Your Highness, Her Highness Reyne is still missing, and our military reorganization needs you to take charge.”

”The other countries’ generals and leaders are requesting that you attend conferences for dealing with the aftermath of the battle, drawing of new borders, the division of the victory loot—all these require your presence. Our Eastern Mist Communal Country stands to profit greatly this time, but without your presence, we’re unable to control the situation.”

”The undead army is currently stationed outside the castle. Thanks to their performance during that battle, they haven’t caused a panic, but we need an effective way to communicate with them...”

”The Rhodes Kingdom has mentioned the possibility of them accepting the Church of Law, and their highest-ranked priest Xueti is requesting a personal meeting with you to discuss the specifics.”

”The man with the undead army actually started a contest to see who is the strongest and handsomest. He and Lord Xueti are currently competing in the finals. Their clothes have all exploded—that scene is too beautiful that I don’t even dare to describe it! My lord, you’re the only one who can stop them! Before they destroy this entire city, please do something to stop them!”

Before I could even react, countless chaotic affairs were dumped upon my head, and when I turned around to request for help, I discovered that Ayer had completely vanished.

After that, I was instantly overrun by the chatting babble before me, and my sickbed was piled to the top with tasks requiring my immediate attention and various official documents.

”That’s right—Elisa! You guys can go find her; she has my full authority as my representative.”

Where else was I supposed to find such a good assistant scapegoat? Yet before I could even look in Elisa’s direction, that former Demon Marchioness, who had anticipated that I would push everything onto her, had also already vanished somewhere.

”Hey—hey, don’t be so heartless! I just woke up, and you want me to do so much already?”

I wanted to escape, but the attendants and officials around me had already placed their own swords to their necks—a threat that they would kill themselves if I just ignored them.

I could only helplessly sigh and take a document as I begun the busywork that would make anyone feel powerless.

”If only that little brat were here; just where did Reyne end up? Karwenz should have returned to the Chaos Abyss by now, so why hasn’t Reyne returned? Is it really true that girls won’t return to the nest when they grow up and not care about their fathers anymore!?”

At the exact same time, Reyne was exclaiming out loud in shock as well!

”Where is this?! Why am I here; am I not in the Northlands anymore?”

In the center of human territory was the Bardi Empire. And on the biggest red-light district street in a certain city of this empire, in the most expensive facility named ”Elven Night,” Reyne suddenly woke up while being hugged by many women. She immediately discovered that it was quite crowded around her.

”Why are there so many women! Achoo! The perfume is too heavy in here!”

In such a small room, there were a dozen girls that seemed like flowers looking at her, and those women were all looking at her with romantic interest. Some were trying to press their bodies against her while some were even in the midst of removing their clothes.

”Milord, why did you stop singing? I was waiting for your song.”

The golden-haired young lady’s face was turning red as she said so, and her red face and the look in her eyes revealed the fact that she was seriously in love with Reyne—she was looking at Reyne as if Reyne was her first love. The large snow-white mounds on the blonde girl’s chest were even more blinding, and she suddenly wrapped her arms around Reyne. Even though they were of the same gender, Reyne didn’t have much experience in this matter, so her face instantly turned red. Next, however, the women surrounding her said something even more shocking.

”Milord, do you want more? Let my fellow sisters rest a bit; quite a few of us collapsed last night...”

While she was refusing on the surface, all the women’s red faces and efforts at disrobing revealed their true feelings. Reyne was unable to take this any longer.

”Wait, wait, don’t take off your clothes! Hey—hey—hey, why are you all taking off your clothes? I’m a girl as well!”

”Hehe, Milord just loves to play these games of pretending to refuse. Of course, we already know that Milord is a woman, but Milord is far better at this than those useless men. Hehe, none of us sisters can be without you anymore, and every one of us is waiting for you to purchase our debts.”

This time, Reyne realized she had met with a huge disaster as she looked at those hungry, desire-filled eyes and the pile of snow-white bodies in front of her.

And one week later, a report was placed in front of me.

”What? Reyne had fun in the Bardi Empire’s most luxurious red-light district street for half a month, won countless beauties’ favor, received the wondrous title of ‘King of Ten Thousand Flowers,’ and even agreed to innumerable requests to purchase the women’s debts, but in the end, she was penniless, and the red-light district has imprisoned her? And now they’re requesting us to pay her debts and bail her out?”

After hesitating a moment, I ended up replying to the Bardi Empire messenger like this:

”You probably got it wrong! We don’t have a man named Reyne here. Yep, definitely not! What? She’s a woman? Then that’s even more impossible since all of us Mist Royalty are normal people. Definitely no perverts at all! Yep, definitely not! I never lie.”
