613 The Power Game (1/2)

”The death of Li Zhedao has put us in a tough spot. I bet Lie Jintian is going to wage a full-on counterattack very soon.”

”House Lie had been away too conservative in their approach, so I think it might not be a bad thing. If he doesn't fight back now, he might never have a chance again.” Guan Dongyang put in. The team leaders were not optimistic about their situation. Although Wang Tong was a forward-thinking and competent leader, the overall development of the war troubled their thoughts and haunted their dreams.

Wang Tong cracked a smile and then said, ”We can change the situation if want to. Our first step is to join forces with Michaux.”

”Wait, you mean…” Hope flickered in Guan Dongyang's eyes.

”Haha, we don't have much time, that is for sure. But, we are also very close to success. If one fist it not enough to bring down Moye, we will use two.” Wang Tong spoke figuratively. The death of Li Zhedao was going to usher in dramatic changes to the war; they were running out of time.

”We go straight after the dark lord?” Xiao Yuyu asked as concern flashed across her face.

”Of course! It had been our target from the start, hadn't it? If we play the timing right, we should have no problem killing Moye.” Wang Tong said calmly. However, no one around him shared his confidence, as they felt that it would be too risky a move.

”Boss, tell us what to do.” Tan Bu's body was awash with energy at the promise of killing the dark lord.

”We will play by the ear. I think Moye has taken an interest in me as well.”

”Wang Tong, how confident are you about his fight? Moye isn't just any dark one. He is at least level twenty-seven.” Ye Zi said cautiously.

”Hehe…If I can't even handle Moye, how would I face Patroclus later? Do you know why Patroclus killed Li Zhedao? He is urging me to finish off Moye as soon as possible.” Everyone was confused by Wang Tong's contradicting words.

”Are you saying that Patroclus is actually good?” Lie Xuan asked with a confused look.

Guan Dongyang held onto her hand and said, ”It is impossible! Patroclus never fight for anyone but himself.”

”But, why would he do such a thing?” Lie Xuan asked.

Guan Dongyang cast Wang Tong a knowing glance. ”That is because he considers Wang Tong, the only worthy opponent…In other words, the only key to finding the divine path. However, he needs to prepare before the final battle with Wang Tong. Does that make sense?”

Yin Tianzong nodded quietly. As one of the top human fighters, he could relate to the actions of someone as powerful as Patroclus. From the humans' perspective, he was a villain through and through. However, from a purely technical point of view, Patroclus had finally embarked on the quest to find the divine path. He had broken free from the shackles on his body; now it was time to liberate his own soul.

He wanted to make himself a god, and his followers immortals.

However, not every human could measure up to the standards; those who could not had to be abandoned, much like the sacrifice for a new god.

As Yin Tianzong put it, Wang Tong was the only person that had and still could defeat him. Patroclus could not be an invincible god while knowing that there was a human who could bring him down.
