While Xi Wei was still testing and perfecting the various functions of the forum, the Lion King of Justice Aslan had already reached another Divine Kingdom.
“Welcome, Aslan. It’s been quite a while since you’ve come here.” The kingdom’s ruler was a dwarf sporting a large moustache, a flask hung on the left of his belt, a hammer hung on his right.
It was different from Xi Wei’s messy kingdom, the dwarf’s kingdom was very interesting. Half of it was a forge filled with molten lava, while the other half was decorated with various types of alcohol and alcohol mixing tools, it felt like a nice little bar.
The atmosphere, brightness, and even temperature of the two halves was strikingly different, they were two completely different worlds.
The dwarf was called Stoff, the God of Craftsmanship and Fine Wine, and was also one of the members of the Invisible Pantheon.
“Would you like anything to drink?” Stoff asked.
“No need, in fact, I’ve got you an interesting little something that I’d like you to have a taste of.”
Aslan shook his thick mane—a bottle of Coca-Cola fell out.
“Medicine?”
“No, a beverage.”
“Okay, I trust you,” Stoff muttered as he took the soda can, he ripped off the tab and started chugging it down, finishing the whole thing in one go before letting out a long satisfied belch.
“That hit the spot! Drinking this while crafting might be even better than draught!” Stoff exclaimed.
“As long as you like it.” Aslan lay on the countertop. “I got it from the God of Games.”
“That new generation deity? What do you see in him? I think there are already plenty of deities in the Invisible Pantheon…”
The dwarf started nagging.
“Times have changed Stoff. I smell danger. More and more gods are being brought to this land, they wage wars against each other, stealing each other’s divinity to become stronger… It’s exactly the same as what happened a thousand years ago, right before the Divine War. We need some ‘insurance’.”
“But your insurance still isn’t as strong as my hammer… Heck, even Luna might be able to beat him,” Stoff said nonchalantly, “Plus, looking purely at battle strength, your the strongest mid-tier deity could come toe to toe with top-tier deities.”
“Battle strength wasn’t all that important, you should know, Stoff, my ranking is continuously dropping. But him, maybe he’s not all that strong right now, but I believe that he has immeasurable potential… Tell me, what do you think of the ‘revival’ of his believers?” Aslan suddenly asked.
The dwarf shook the empty bottle in his hand and the sugary liquid refilled it. He took a long swig before answering, “There’s no way that that’s true revival. We all know, Lord Hades has complete control over death, whilst the Gospel of Life controls matters of life… But even the Gospel of Life may not use her Divine Miracle of “resurrection” every year. Trying to swindle some control over life and death from those two is virtually impossible.”
“Then what if, and I’m saying what if…” The lion’s eyes shone a dazzling light. “That new deity created a way to revive his players good as new without technically infringing on the domains of either life or death?”
Stoff was speechless.
“If that’s so, he could possibly bend the very fibers of reality to his will, and watch down over all of existence with the Trinity of Creation themselves.”
