Chapter 718 - Disagreement of Goddesses (2/2)
Many of them were even nauseated and felt like vomiting.
But few wanted to close the stream channel.
The scientists in the underground lab, in particular, even took out the best sound collecting devices.
But in the end, the stream channel closed itself.
A system notification popped up in everybody’s window.
“An uncontrollable error occurred during streaming. For the sake of your well-being, this streaming session has been automatically shut down without Roland’s permission.”
The netizens cursed aloud when they saw the notification. They all made complaint calls to Penguin’s customer service center.
Tens of hundreds of calls flooded in and jammed all the lines.
As a result, none of the calls made it through.
In the game, Roland looked at those eyes as he waited for them to argue with one another. He even sat down and watched the show.
About ten minutes later, the gods and goddesses seemed to feel embarrassment at their behavior in front of a human being, so they stopped fighting at the same time.
Eventually, it was the God of Hunger who said, “Roland, you have to pick one of us and dedicate your faith, or you cannot get away alive.”
“I’m a Golden Son. Can you keep me here?” asked Roland in disdain while looking at the triangular eyes.
The gods were nothing more than powerful creatures.
After he became a Legend, or a Demigod, he could create bigger nuclear bombs and kill the gods easily.
If Melf had slain gods with his spell before, there was no reason why he couldn’t with his nuclear bombs.
“It’s true that the god behind you is stronger than any of us.” The pair of triangular eyes were filled with anger. “But he’s no match for us now that all of us are united. If we cage your soul, he won’t be able to take it away.”
Roland was slightly intrigued.
A lot of information was revealed from what the guy said.
However, it was nothing new, but only confirmation of Roland’s long-time speculations.
In the real world where he lived, there was a god too.
Why did the god on Earth project half a million Golden Sons to this world?
He was even more confused than before.
Was it really meant to raise “supermen” for Earth, like Douglas said?
But that was another paradox.
If there was already a god on Earth, there were bound to be supermen. Why did they have to be raised in this world?
Or maybe, the players were just vanguards to conquer the alien world?
Or was it a test?
More and more questions popped up in Roland’s head.
Roland was silent for a long time.
The guy with triangular eyes said cockily, “So, worship a god. Any god.”
Listening to the guy’s cocky tone, Roland said angrily, “Sorry, I don’t know why I should dedicate my faith. Come and take it if you think you’re capable!”
While he was talking, he was already planning to take out the other two nuclear bullets.
He was also preparing for magic power bricks.
The gods’ power was greatly suppressed in the main plane, and Roland was not entirely vulnerable to them.
The triangular eyes glared at him.
An enormous mental pressure fell on top of him like a mountain.
Although only one tenth of the pressure was left when it hit Roland, he still felt that he was suffocating, as if he were carrying a fatty weighing a hundred kilograms on his shoulders.
However, Roland didn’t say anything but stared at the triangular eyes with mockery on his face.
The triangular eyes were even more infuriated.
Another god with a pair of red eyes said coldly, “What a stubborn boy. All Mages are annoying. Count me in. I don’t believe that a minor human being dares to oppose the
gods.”
As he talked, he was about to add to the pressure on Roland. The other gods didn’t say anything. They were all proud of their identity and didn’t want to attack Roland with someone else.
At least, they had that dignity.
Roland was able to resist the triangular eyes, but not the red eyes on top of that.
Roland’s left leg bent, and he almost fell to one knee.
But he was still standing. His face was red and his back wasn’t straight anymore, but his strength and tenacity had been demonstrated from the fact that he weathered through the pressure of two gods. Seeing how stubborn Roland was, someone who had thin eyebrows asked in a pleasant voice, “Do you want to count me in?”
Exactly at this moment, two voices echoed at the same time.
“Enough! Stop now.” That was a pair of gentle eyes.
“When you said that all Mages are annoying, did you think of me at all?” That was a pair of eyes filled with wisdom.
After they spoke, all the pressure on Roland vanished.
Then he stood up.
At this moment, Roland realized that the gentle eyes belonged to the Life Goddess whereas the wise eyes belonged to the Goddess of Magic.
“Why, you want to protect him? Have you learned nothing from the disasters Mordenkainen and Melf caused?”
“Exactly. Even if you are Lawful Goddesses, we have twenty people on our side. Are you really going to challenge the entire Realm of Gods?”
“Life and Magic, if you’re going to support the defiant, don’t blame us for dealing with you first.”
The Goddesses of Life and Magic didn’t talk, but their eyes became firmer and firmer.
Then, a cold voice suddenly appeared. “Mystra, count me in.”
Those eyes had deep black irises and evinced no feelings.
They only showed some emotion when they looked at Roland.
“Ha. We have three now,” said the Goddess of Magic proudly. “I don’t think we can’t protect one human being as three main goddesses.”
“You may have three, but so what? There are twenty gods on our side.”
“That’s right. You really think you can oppose the entire Realm of Gods with just the three of you?”
“Then what if I’m in?”
At this moment, another pair of eyes emerged in the sky.
Feeble yet warm golden light beamed from these eyes.
