Chapter 588 (2/2)
“These plans are very amusing! I like them!”
After another while, Sui Xiong took his leave. The Master of War, Wenner, watched him disappear into the distance before he said to Augustin, “He’s an interesting person.”
“You’re right; he’s as powerful as he is amusing. Never in my life did I imagine there would be someone like this in the world.”
“Perhaps this is just the way jellyfish think?”
“Perhaps. But the fact that he’s so willing to listen to others’ opinions and suggestions is a very good habit.”
“It’s a mystery who will be out of luck this time around.” After a while, Wenner smiled and said, “Once the time comes, we can use the opportunity to gain some profits of our own.”
“Personally, I’d quite like to see what the Master of Mystery’s true strength is.” Augustin went quiet for a moment then said in a low voice, “I keep getting the feeling this former peak master has grown weaker…”
Wenner’s eyes lit up at that. “How sure are you of that?”
“At least 60 percent!”
“Sixty percent is already worth the gamble! Make the plans!”
Augustin nodded, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.
Wenner returned to his own throne and poured himself a cup of wine, but rather than drinking it, he fell into deep thought as he held the cup in his hands.
If they used this opportunity to discuss the Master of Mystery’s base and discovered that he’d become weaker, then they could act immediately. They wouldn’t give the human gods the chance to go first.
In the past, the War God System had always followed a quick, accurate, and ruthless method of attacking to continuously annihilate their enemies and strengthen themselves. So even if they were using their own leader, Wenner wouldn’t hesitate.
In any case, as long as they could reap enough benefits from it, His Majesty the Void Mask probably wouldn’t object to being used once.
Besides, in the end, the ones putting their all into charging the enemy lines would still be the War God System; they were just borrowing the Void Mask to act as an excuse and gain the initiative.
Wenner carefully calculated the situation, weighing the pros and cons and considering what they should do once the time came.
Meanwhile, Sui Xiong had already returned to his own God’s Kingdom. He mulled over the plans Augustin had just given him, thought a bit, and then laughed.
Just from imagining the looks on those conspirators’ faces when the plan went into effect, Sui Xiong couldn’t help but laugh.
After he’d laughed for quite a while, he suddenly remembered something and was struck with inspiration.
In a flash of green light, his clone had already appeared before Satan in the human realm.
“Are you busy right now?” he asked.
Satan was just in the middle of surveying the land in preparation for setting up the gigantic purification arrays. He jumped at the voice, not understanding why His Majesty would suddenly come looking for him with a question like this.
He shook his head, looking somewhat at a loss. “I wouldn’t call this busy; I can spare two or three days without a problem.”
Sui Xiong laughed at that. “Then how about you take a walk with me?”
“To where? To do what?”
“We’re heading to the underworld,” Sui Xiong said with a chuckle, “to settle some old grudges.”
Satan had some misgivings about this—what sort of grudges did he have with anyone in the underworld? Or was it His Majesty that had grudges to settle and was inviting him to come watch?
But while he could doubt all he wanted, he still had to obey Sui Xiong’s orders. So after dealing with the mages who’d come to help him, he got himself ready to go with Sui Xiong to the underworld.
They arrived near a palace which, while gorgeous in its construction, clearly hadn’t been cared for in a while.
Sui Xiong laughed again as he looked at that palace. He then drew in a deep breath, raised his voice, and loudly yelled, “Shadow Devil, I’m here to settle accounts with you!”
