Chapter 199: Invisible Pantheon (part Two) (1/2)
From certain perspective, the Invisible Pantheon could be considered a dated alliance of the gods, but aside from Aslan the Great Lion, the founding members had all retired in the War of Gods and Demons.
While Xi Wei had learnt from Aslan’s conversations that the Invisible Pantheon had seven members at the moment, aside from himself, the Great Lion, Stoff the God of Craftmanship and Fine Wine and Luna the Silver Moon Goddess, he didn’t know which of the other three gods.
And now, another goddess had arrived. She was dressed entirely in white, wearing a laurel wreath tiara and held a silver scepter, the tip of which had a whirling ball of light that was no different from Xi Wei.
She passed through the barrier of the abandoned divine kingdom, landing elegantly and primly while smiling at the sight before her.
Then, she asked.
“Why is there a squid here?”
Xi Wei: …
‘I’m just a ball with a few tentacles! Does squid look like this where you came from?!’
Meanwhile, Stoff solemnly withdrew the hand he was shaking Xi Wei’s tentacle with, turned a side and burst into laughter while holding his stomach, sprawling on the floor and punching it.
He looked just like two hundred-pound dwarf who had some fake wine.
Xi Wei: …
‘Are you people really gods? Won’t the faith of your believers collapse immediately at this sight?’
“Enough. Xi Wei’s appearance is of his own choosing—do not shame him because of his aesthetic values.”
Aslan mediated with a serious look, but Xi Wei had a feeling that he was shaming his aesthetic values with a serious look.
“Where is Scarlet, Luna?” Aslan asked the goddess who just arrived, unconcerned about Xi Wei’s aesthetic values.
“She said that the moon is not looking beautiful tonight, and would not be joining us.” The Silver Moon Goddess smiled.
“I see. Well, there’s no helping it then.” Aslan nodded as if it made sense.
“Hold on, hold on. I say, isn’t that excuse too lame?” Xi Wei could not help retorting. “I clearly refused so passionately but you insisted on having me come. And now that one called Scarlet is clearly giving you the cold-shoulder, and you’re letting this go?”
“As a deity, I have my own measure about what I ought and ought not do,” Aslan told the ball of light that was throwing a fit with solemnly. “This is my principle as a god!”
“You might sound meaningful, but the relationship you’re showing here is terrible!”
‘And what is this supposed to be? Freshman bullying?!’
That was when another god came through the world barrier, and did a double-take when he noticed Xi Wei whirling around on the ground.
“Why is there a spinning top here?”
Xi Wei: …
***
In the end, only five out of the seven gods of the alliance arrived.
