Chapter 359: Planning to leave Silver Kingdom part 1 (1/2)

Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce

To be honest, Leo might have the Fate Cube that allows him to summon a lot of powerful Elementals, but that is still not enough to fight against all the Gods. His unique capability was indeed powerful enough to threaten the Gods, and can also defeat them, but it was clearly impossible to defeat all of them together.

The God of Fate has already lost once in the past when he tried to fight one against many. So he obviously wouldn't want Leo to repeat such a mistake again.

This time, the first goal was to gather people capable enough to stand by Leo's side and fight against the Gods. And a few of those candidates are already standing in front of Leo right now.

”Didn't expect that all of them will have red strings connected to me...” Leo thought inwardly. In the past, he was unable to know how a person feels about him, but right now, after his memories about the Fate Cube was unsealed, he doesn't need to worry about such a complicated matter anymore. As long as he activates the Fate Cube's ability to see the Fate Strings, he would immediately be able to know how exactly they feel about him.

At this moment, Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte were all in deep thoughts as they ponder within themselves on what decision they should choose. Should they stay and join Leo to fight against the Gods? Or should they just leave him and refuse such a suicidal choice?

If it was other people in Cassandra's and the other's shoes, then they would definitely not hesitate to refuse. But for them, it was a complicated matter.

They want to be with Leo, but at the same time, they also don't want to die.

Wait... Isn't this very similar to the situation they have just experienced back then when they have abandoned the civilians?

No, this is absolutely not the same... or was it?

”I'm really curious about this, but why exactly do we need to fight against the Gods?” Cassandra can't help herself from asking. She was debating with herself moments ago whether to stay with Leo and fight against the Gods or not, but then she realized something very crucial; why would they even need to fight against the Gods?

”Indeed...” Elizabeth and the others nodded their heads to express that they were also very curious.

For Leo, who they have long known that hates troublesome things to say that he wants to fight against the Gods, he definitely has a very big reason for that.

Hearing Cassandra's question, Leo smiled as he can't help himself remembering that time when he first talked about fighting the Gods with Commander Ava. At that time, his memories about the Fate Cube were still sealed inside his consciousness, so when she brought up the topic that if he indeed chooses to make Levi his Beast Companion, he would then be pulled into a troublesome situation where he would have to fight against the Gods of the Celestial World. Because of that, he decided to put such thoughts to the back of his mind and choose to adapt the, ”Let's wait and see plan”. For him, fighting against the Gods is extremely troublesome. That's why until this present moment Levi hasn't yet become his Beast Companion, despite that Sagittarius Sandra is already just nearby him, even right now.

However, right now, he finally knows what answer he should choose.

Fight against the Gods? Bring-it-on!

”All of you knew about the War of Races, right?”

”Yes, what about it?”

”But do you know why exactly the War of Races exists?”

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and replied seemingly like stating the obvious, ”Isn't it obvious? It's because every race wants to become the ruler...”

Seemingly like something suddenly came up inside her mind, Elizabeth stopped mid-sentence as her eyes widen in shock.

”It seems like you've already guessed it correctly.” Leo smiled before continuing, ”All of the Gods wanted to become the only God and rule the entire Celestial World. But, all of the Gods are immortals, that's why no matter what they do they are incapable of killing one another. Thus, they slowly manipulate their own race to start the battlefield for the War of Races. Because once their own race won the war-”

Angel suddenly interrupted Leo to finish his words, ”Their goal to become the only God of the Celestial World will also become a reality because their own race will only view one God and no one else.”

Turning to look at Angel, Leo nodded his head, ”Yes, despite still having a lot of Gods, for the people of that race who won the War of Races, those Gods are nothing compared to their own God.”

”This...” Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte became even more dumbfounded after finding out the truth.

”I know that you're still doubting my words. But a living example actually exists in front of us right now.”

”Who?” Cassandra quickly asked.

”Who do you think won this war?”
