Chapter 381: Someone Is Here With A Bone To Pick (1/2)

At first, the Great Lion had scared Xi Wei into rolling three times, believing that the Thor… oh wait, I mean a Divine Father had come calling

Still, he soon calmed down since things did not appear that bad from the look of how the Great Lion was reacting.

Indeed, if something like that had happened, Aslan probably wouldn’t have the mood to joke around with Xi Wei.

“So, what happened?” Xi Wei asked.

“I thought you would be more frightened…” Aslan sighed unhappily, with his woolly feline face showing a look of ‘that’s it?’.

“I’m very busy. Go to the other gods of the Invisible Pantheon if you want someone to joke with.”

Xi Wei was even sure that there was nothing important when he saw that reaction.

“Well, it really isn’t anything important, although the Lord of the Peaks is claiming that your believers had killed his flock, and that you have stolen a treasure he had his eyes on in the mortal realm.”

Aslan found a rather clean spot in Xi Wei’s messy divine kingdom then and sprawled over it like a really big cat, speaking lazily while licking his fur.

“Rubbish!” Xi Wei flailed his tentacles in frustration. “I admit I killed his flock, but that’s a lie about stealing his treasure!”

After all, the Players had definitely killed an adult Barren Giant. Though that was nothing major, the grudge had already taken form. Xi Wei had been a noob god at the time who only dared to hide behind the Great Lion, fearful that the Lord of the Peaks would come for blood. Moreover, the Lord of the Peaks did have a Greater God backing him in the Earthweaver, who was also one of the Seven Divine Fathers.

Still, Xi Wei was relieved since he did not take action for a long time.

It made sense when he thought about it. Even though the Barren Giants were rare, there were at least thousands of them in the multi planes-it was like a nursery, and no one would notice one or two missing if they didn’t deliberately make count. Furthermore, it was the Players themselves who had beaten up that one Barren Giant from start to finish, with Xi Wei at most giving its body a bondage and leg-spreading session, allowing the creature to use up its lingering warmth… As for the treasure or whatnot, that was complete nonsense. The treasures of mortals were not even a strand of hair to the gods, for what treasure is down there that a god would covet?

But while Xi Wei voiced his opinion vindictively, the Great Lion yawned lazily beside him.

“No, there is a treasure… didn’t you get a new toy recently?”

“Are you saying that… he had his eyes on the Elven Synchronized Intellect Nation (SIN)?”

Xi Wei did a double take, only realizing then he indeed acquired a masterpiece created by mortal beings that was formidable in the divine realm.

Others aside, the divinity hidden in the SIN core alone would leave most gods drooling.

“To be precise, the Lord of the Peaks had his followers searching all along but didn’t even get a whiff after over a thousand years.” The Great Lion made a good-natured mocking face then, which could have been ridiculing the noob that was either the Lord of the Peaks or his believers. “He had been throwing his weight around by mentioning Earthweaver’s name and never once managed his own church. That’s more or less how he would end up anyway.”
