Chapter 682 (2/2)
“Gods sub Their sole responsibility is to obey Such is what it means to be a God,” Wolfblade accused “This so-called advanced life form touts the same social structure as the basest insects Any one of the power Their intellect far outstrips that of humans and yet… it's all sealed froht”
Gods were not unlike ants They lived, fought and made determinations on their own However they could never extricate themselves from the will of the collective Each ant had a responsibility to protect the colony, to serve their queen The God King was the leader of their colony and as such coht nohile our friend the Cloud God wishes to know the truth behind Gods and demons, it is not his primary aihts” Wolfblade regarded the once-hty ruler of Skycloud “You are now a pariah from the colony A traitor Or perhaps it would be better to call you a kind of tumor Do you truly believe they would ever accept back into their presence?”
Anger welled up inside the God It was Wolfblade's fault that he had fallen fro off his divine counterpart Unbothered, he continued “But say you had the choice Say you could be accepted once more, would you want to? Would you choose to have your individuality stolen, your thoughts suppressed? To be kept ignorant of your purpose, like a cog in aaith no concept of your worth?”
The deht If he had the choice…
“You are intelligent enough to know that there is no choice,” Wolfblade assured “Oh, and allow me to remind you that the Avatar kno to find you Thanks to estions, of course If she'd found you once she can find you again and again until the threat has been eli the truth?”
No wonder Selene had ed to track him down It had all been part of Wolfblade's machinations
Cloudhawk did not kno Wolfblade had pinpointed the Cloud God's whereabouts, but he couldn't say he was surprised The demon had also known Selene would become the Avatar and that the Cloud God would be useful to theed so this day would coled with Wolfblade's naked threat This hateful de for the God's incredulous reaction, Wolfblade added, “Don't you want to live – to really live? Don't you want to uncover all the secrets that have been hidden from you? How I canyourself of that shell and being born anew, like the Shepherd God?”
The Cloud God was not alone in his surprise Cloudhawk, too, was taken aback by Wolfblade's questions After all, he'd also wanted to kno the deed to trail him across his life with different faces
As a demon Elder hoas he able to steal bodies? Cloudhawk had never heard of a power like that Likewise, the Shepherd God had slu her consciousness onto Autumn's body
How had they done it?
If you wanted to conquer someone, first you had to knohat they feared and what they wanted To ingratiate yourself to souide them tohat they wanted To use someone, you had to play on their fear and desperation
Wolfblade saw that he would not win cooperation fro before Cloudhawk that the Cloud God was the tool they needed to fight Selene Preparations were long in the ht, so that when the tiether exactly as he willed them to
Yet while Wolfblade already knew the outcome, to the Cloud God it was an al with the question for months yet still he hesitated
Despite the slew of questions he still harbored the desperate hope that one day he'd be accepted back into divine society But after speaking with the Shepherd God and uncovering bits of the truth for himself, the Cloud God knew that hope was foolish Once the seal was rehts were his own, the Cloud God was no different fro back
A few seconds stretched on in silence as thoughts raced through the God's head Ultimately, he came to a conclusion “I will help you But I must know the whole truth”
Cloudhawk's eyes slipped toward Wolfblade The demon nodded “Then you shall”
“Wait!” Cloudhawk broke into their exchange “What is this truth you're always talking about?”
Wolfblade's response was calm “If you wish to uncover these secrets then weyou there arediscoveries”
