“You are just too kind. Oh, this is going to become a hidden danger…” Augmentin sighed and said. “You really shouldn’t have given them time!”
With a smile, Sui Xiong replied, “Since they have subtly expressed through their tone, that they would conform to a compromise, then there is nothing wrong in giving them some time to investigate.”
“There is no need for them to investigate at all!” Wenner shook his head repeatedly. “In my opinion, we should charge our way straight towards them and wipe them out. Don’t you have the God of Knowledge under your command? Think about it from another perspective; let him absorb the priesthood of the Master of Mystery, and then, let him be the one to investigate. He will be more reliable than the Master of Mystery!”
Sui Xiong blanked out for a moment. He really had not considered this just now.
On second thought, he said, “Destroying the Master of Mystery and all of his men would not be easy at all…”
“How difficult can it be!” Wenner shook his head vigorously and asked. “No matter how powerful the Master of Mystery is, in a one-on-one fight, he will never be able to win. Then, I will lead our brothers to attack his underlings, chop them up like minced meat—plain and simple. Needless to mention, your underlings also have a group of people under their command… My dear alliance master, you are, in any case, a top master who could cause the entire Pantheon temple to vibrate from a single stomp of your feet. Can’t you be a little more confident!?”
Sui Xiong was taken aback, but thinking back carefully, it seemed like the situation was really like how Wenner had pointed out.
The reason why the Master of Mystery could earn himself such a resounding reputation throughout the world was because of that one major battle that wiped out the entire Elf God System. But back then, was the Elf God System really that great?
At that time, the Elf God System had nearly 50 real gods, more than 200 demigods, and thousands of Legendary Masters under their command. It was, indeed, extremely powerful. But through these years spent on understanding the Elf God System, Sui Xiong already knew the fact that at that time, throughout their entire god system, there was only one great Divine Power, three mid-level Divine Powers, six to seven low-level Divine Powers, and the remaining 40 or so real gods were weak Divine Powers.
As for those 200 demigods, a majority of them could step into the demigod realm only because they were bestowed with a trace of divinity by the gods. At best, they were immortals that did not grow old and die. To say they were extremely powerful was, in fact, an inept statement.
Also, their army of Legendary Masters would have no problem dealing with other races, but if they were to go against a god with great Divine Power, then these Legendary Masters would be nothing more than cannon fodder. Even the more powerful Oracles would be rendered powerless.
The reason why the elves were powerful was not because they had a god system, but because they had the backing of the Goddess of Life and the advanced fairies from the highly-reputable “Golden Race.” After these advanced fairies disappeared with the Goddess of Life, the elf race retained its status of a prosperous civilization with a massive territory and had an astonishing number of masters in its army. But in truth, their top-rated martial skills were already weakened by a great extent.
If Sui Xiong were to go back in time to exist in that era, he could easily defeat and wipe out the entire Elf God System relying on his powers alone. Though, he might not necessarily be able to annihilate the entire race at one go.
There were several occasions that clearly displayed how powerful Sui Xiong was. For example, a few years back, Sui Xiong defeated the Fear God System in one breath, and he was so close to annihilating the Alliance of Evil Gods. The number of gods that he had annihilated could be as many as the total population of two Elf God Systems put together.
Since ancient times, other than a few especially terrifying demons, there had not been any other gods with such intimidating combat accomplishments. Upon comparison, the Master of Mystery did not seem to have anything that could put him at an advantage over Sui Xiong.
“We have always been pondering, exactly how powerful is this Master of Mystery?” Wenner observed that Sui Xiong seemed to have gained some enlightenment regarding this question, and so, he continued to say, “He is powerful, that is for sure, but is he truly so powerful that even a great Divine Power would be rendered helpless before him? No matter what, this is something that I can’t bring myself to believe.”
“Back during that one battle that occurred many years ago where he annihilated the entire Elf God System, the time he had taken to wipe out the elves, from beginning to the end, was very short. The entire incident seemed hasty, and there were no witnesses among the numerous gods. After the incident, at least a hundred gods have investigated this incident. However, other than learning that the Elf God System had been annihilated by the Master of Mystery, there wasn’t anything else that they could find,” Wenner said. “At that time, I wasn’t born, so naturally, it was impossible for me to investigate this. But after I became a god, I had investigated this incident by virtue of my priesthood… As you know, my priesthood is ‘war,’ so everything related to battling, even academic debates, business competitions… so long as they were intense enough, my priesthood would be able to obtain some traces of information, and with those traces, I can try to investigate this.
“I have been investigating for almost 100 years, but what I can see is still very blurred. There is nothing I can see or tell for sure; the entire scene merely gives me a very hazy impression. It’s just like… a dream that I can’t recall clearly.” Wenner let out a gentle sigh, then said, “But I’m very sure about one thing. At that time, there was no fierce battle.”
