Chapter 393: The Lord Of The Peaks (1/2)

Although the wager between Xi Wei and the Lord of the Peaks ended in rather sloppy and even humorous fashion, the final outcome of Xi Wei’s victory was not affected.

“Your believers had done quite well.” Aslan, the Great Lion soon arrived at Xi Wei’s divine kingdom to offer his congratulations. “I had even assumed that they might be kept on the back foot for some time, but eventually gain victory through that curious reviving ability of theirs.”

If the Great Lion who was somewhat aware of the Players’ strengths thought that, the other gods were certainly surprised by that outcome.

On paper, the Church of Games really had too few believers, numbering less than three thousand even if they included shallow believers who did not even awaken Systems.

On the other hand, the believers of the Lord of the Peaks had three sizeable hill-folk tribes near Valla alone, and the number of warriors in their weakest tribe was already equal in number to the entire Church of Games.

And yet, the Players won with such a clear victory that not even Xi Wei expected that.

He had expected some extent of Player casualty since there really were a lot of hill-folk, and a zerg-rush would be enough to overwhelm most of them.

Somehow, Terry and Jom who were on another bounty quest had managed to swindle a Scepter of the Temple of Glory so that the other church interfered and vaporized the strongest of those three hill-folk tribes.

To some extent, the decisive battle that the gathered Players had waged against the last tribe felt rather dull…

Nonetheless, winning is winning.

As Xi Wei was reluctant to reveal the location of his divine kingdom, Aslan had therefore found him an abandoned ruin of a divine kingdom as a place for their deal.

Unlike the ruined divine kingdom where the Invisible Pantheon previously met, this ruin was falling apart—which made sense, since it would discourage any god from claiming it even after it was found.

It was worth mentioning here that Xi Wei found crossing divine realms easier now that he had the experience of joining the Invisible Pantheon’s gathering and himself having ascended as an Intermediate God.

They quickly arrived at the ruin thanks to the Great Lion’s directions.

Soon, the Lord of the Peaks arrived as well.

While he resembled Magni Bronzebeard of World of Warcraft in appearance, he also stood over three meters tall and his skin did not look organic. Instead, he appeared to have concrete painted over himself and then rolled around a mine.

He had no eyes either, while his face was composed out of rock and moss, and he spoke like booming thunder.

“This isn’t fair!” He complained loudly.
