Chapter 174: Nothing Happened Yet. Im Still In The Game! (1/2)

Xi Wei felt his heart stop beating for an instant.

And then he realized two things.

One, he has no heart after becoming a ball.

Two, Aslan said ‘something terrible has happened’, and not ‘you’re in trouble!’.

‘Good’, Xi Wei thought inwardly. ‘Looks like I’m still in the game.’

“What happened?” he asked. “Do you want some coke?”

“It’s fine, I’ll have that drink that taste like tea from last time.” The Great Lion said as he lay down on the floor of Xi Wei’s divine kingdom, training a weird stare at the human-faced fish monsters that were emitting a fishy scent. “Your taste for collectibles is more and more curious lately…”

“Those are offerings from my believers.” Xi Wei replied as he brewed Aslan a cup of Oldenlandia Mineral Water. “And as you know, they have a wide range of interests.”

He wanted to brag a little and add ‘do you even get any?’, but fearful that the Great Lion would bellow back ‘You’re crazy and have a death wish!’ and beat him up, he decided to control himself.

Unaware of Xi Wei’s thoughts, the Great Lion licked the cup of Oldenlandia before saying, “Don’t be scared about what I’m about to tell you.”

“Relax. I won’t be; I’m more or less a god.” Xi Wei replied without any worry while plunging a bottle of cola into his ball form.

“Several lesser gods had fallen,” Aslan said slowly then. “And not due to natural causes, but by assassination.”

“Oh. And I thought what could it be… that’s so terrible…”

Xi Wei replied, leaning on a skull beside him as he waved his tentacles, completely unconcerned.

He had killed another god himself after all—Rotten Bones’ head was right here, and the rest of his corpse in the grinder.

Moreover, if anything happened to him here, he would fall anyway if it was either the Skull God or the Ocean Goddess…

“Then what if I told you that there had been four fallen lesser gods after winter ended?” The Great Lion added, already expecting that Xi Wei wouldn’t be so easily intimated since he had slain an evil god before.

“What?! So scary!”

“You’re not being serious.”

“What are you talking about! Do you have proof?!”

“‘Not interested’ is literally written over your ball in divine language.”

The Great Lion pointed at the ball of light, which had rows of text sliding over its surface like a scrolling ticker from right to left.

“…”

Fine.
