Chapter 432

Shock! The true form of the Bizarre Rotting Maggots was actually a Vulcan's believer whose body had been taken over by the maggots of Ignizdorag!

Well, Xi Wei had actually predicted this to a certain extent, but he just didn't expect things to be this bad.

He scratched his round body and head with his tentacles.

Come to think of it, where did the Vulcan's corpse go?

The Great Lion had mentioned that the Fire Stealer had left Ignizdorag's corpse in the Void where it could be easily discovered.

But the problem was that the 'easily discovered Void' was only a relative term.

The Void was boundless, and the many divine kingdoms were no more than insignificant bubbles within it. Finding the Vulcan's corpse in the boundless Void was simply too difficult.

That being said, since the other gods in the divine realm had confirmed the Vulcan's death, it meant that the other gods had found his corpse.

In other words, the Vulcan's corpse could very well be in the hands of a certain divine clan.

But if that was the case, the situation in the mortal realm right now was very strange.

Even if the divine clans were different and viewed each other as enemies, the relationship between the gods was equal.

Ignizdorag's death at Flintman's hands was something that many gods mourned for.

That being the case, allowing the Vulcan's corpse to spawn maggots and devour his believers was clearly abnormal.

Moreover, Xi Wei knew why the Vulcan's corpse would spawn maggots in the divine realm where there were no flies.

The reason was simple: the gods were beings born of human belief, a concept formed from a concept that could be described as the essence of a phenomenon.

Therefore, in the subconscious of many uneducated people, maggots would spawn from the corpses of animals after they die, a concept that was projected into the divine realm, which led to the Vulcan's situation.

It should also be mentioned that there were no bacteria or fungi in the divine realm, and not even air existed in many divine kingdoms. That was why corpses would theoretically not rot, but if a god's body was not taken care of after their death, it would rot after some time. It was a situation caused by the impression that humans, or most intelligent beings, had.

All in all, the situation with Ignizdorag's followers was not quite right.

Be that as it may, Xi Wei was not a Reclining Chair Divine Detective who could guess everything without leaving his house. While he could learn most of the situation in the mortal realm from his believers, he was a shut-in among the gods who knew nothing about the current state of affairs in the divine realm.

"I wonder how the Great Lion is doing now …"

Due to the fact that they had exchanged information too quickly, Xi Wei didn't have the time to tell him a lot of information, which was why he didn't know many things that weren't really secrets.

"I need the help of the other gods!"

The current situation was tense, and a war between the gods could break out at any moment. It was obviously impossible to seek help from other God Systems, so the only people who could obtain clues were the few Gods of the Invisible Pantheon.

After handing over a portion of his divinity to the Great Lion, Aslan, the God of Justice, Xi Wei also gained control over the Invisible Pantheon and became the new God of Governance.

"As I thought, Flintman the Fiend is no longer on the Invisible Pantheon."

He might have used some ability to hide his name, or perhaps Flintman was a fake name to begin with.

Excluding the Great Lion Aslan and himself, there were only four gods left on the Invisible Pantheon's list.

Luna, Silver Luna

Scarlet Luna, Scarlet Luna

Gurus, God of the Hunt

Stoff, God of Craftsmanship and Fine Wine

Of the two Moon Goddesses, Luna, the Silver Moon Goddess had a better relationship with him and even worked with him to a certain extent, with some of her wood elf believers becoming his followers.

As for Scarlet Luna, Xi Wei had never met her even once.

Gurus, God of the Hunt, had seen her in a gathering, and felt that she was not easy to talk to.

Lastly, Stoff, God of Craftsmanship and Fine Wine was more familiar with him, and the cola he made had received high praise from him.

Why don't I get two bottles of Maotai and visit him to see if I can get any valuable information?

At the very least, he had to know which god had the Fire God's corpse fallen into.

"Come to think of it, I have a small portion of the First Flame too …"

Even if that power was given to him by the Fiend Thief, he still owed the Vulcan a favor. If possible, he should at least free the Vulcan's corpse from being eaten by maggots.

Taking a step back, even if he didn't have such a righteous cause, the Vulcan's corpse would still be of great help to him since he possessed the First Flame and a portion of the Vulcan's Authority. Perhaps after consuming the Vulcan's corpse, he could wrestle with the Fiend Thief for the Flame's Authority.

☆

"You should give up on that idea."

Stoff, God of Craftsmanship and Fine Wine, said mercilessly after Xi Wei explained his plan to Stoff.

"What's wrong?"

Xi Wei asked in confusion.

"The Vulcan's corpse is now in the hands of Lucia, Lord of Death."

Stoff replied.

I see.

Xi Wei went silent at once.

Indeed, among the people he couldn't afford to offend, apart from Lionte, the God of Light, and Kratos, the God of War, who was second only to him, Lucia, the Lord of Death, was probably the third.

After all, the biggest reason why the players could be revived was because Xi Wei had secretly cut off the players' normal steps of death. In a sense, it was equivalent to playing with the souls of the dead. It was a provocation to the tyrant who had once killed the first God of Death and usurped the Authority of Death.

Xi Wei was sure that the only reason why Lucia hadn't rushed up and smashed his head was because she didn't know about it yet …

Once she knew that Xi Wei had taken over the Authority of Death, the god who held Death in his hands would probably be happy to kill Xi Wei and add to his collection of divinity.

"Alright."

Xi Wei could only choose to give up.

But on the other hand, since the Vulcan's corpse was in the hands of Lord of Death, who didn't communicate with other gods, that meant that even if he interfered with the Vulcan's believers, he wouldn't provoke the other gods and cause the Fourth Divine War to erupt!

In other words, the players who had been waiting for a long time could finally start a new activity!
