Weariness, hesitation, worry, and chaos spread throughout the city. Anxious pedestrians hurried to and fro on the streets.
All of this was caused by a single piece of news, a rumor that had yet to be verified.
"… Ha, you're worried after losing a fleet? I thought you were all ghosts and gods, and the Evil Gods were just prey. We worked together to stop outsiders from snatching our heads. We, the Mist God System, are the best. We don't care about any Evil Gods. We're just waiting to divide the money, the wind, the land, and the faith. In the end … You really are blind people who think that disaster won't befall you. Can you tell me if you're happy or surprised when you know that the Evil Gods are here? "
Rorschach didn't hide his gloating. He couldn't hide it at all.
"What, is there any use staring at me? If there's any use, why would you call me for a meeting? How many times have I been 'forgotten' by the board of directors? Anyway, I don't even know if I'll be forgotten again. Can't I say it now? "
In various ways, Rorschach, who was mocking Vila Nova Dônia's board of directors, was courting death … However, no matter what he did, no one dared to kill him. In fact, they were trying their best to please him.
"Rorschach, give me some face. No matter what, I'm still your senior. We're here to discuss matters. Let's forget about the trivial matters from before."
The Radiant Scroll's "Voice of Luster" Pheles was also the chairman of the board of directors. In name, he was the city lord of Vila Nova Dônia.
As the host of the meeting, he knew that if Rorschach continued to cause trouble, there would be no way to deal with him. He kept sending glances to the youth, telling him to stop thinking about their past relationship.
"Ha, past relationship? Why didn't you consider our past relationship and not ostracize the Game Church? No matter what, we're allies in the same trench. You're tearing down our walls before the enemy even arrived. Now, you're talking about our past relationship with me? If you really want to talk about our past relationship, let's go to the duel arena and try. "
At this moment, the board of directors shook their heads helplessly. They knew that inviting the Game Church would be like this. They had formed a lot of grudges over the past few days, and this time, they couldn't do without him.
The past was the past, and the present was the present. Back then, everyone was either a pauper or a branch of a tycoon. They didn't have enough investment and trust in Vila Nova Dônia.
But now, it had already been proven that this was a golden egg that brought in a lot of money every day. Most of his energy had been focused on reclaiming and excavating it, as well as scheming against each other to drive others out so that he could eat more.
Past friendship? An alliance for land reclamation? Friendship in the trenches? Haha, you must be joking. Did these things really exist?
"Alright, I understand what you're trying to say. You want the Mage Country's support right now? That's fine, but shouldn't we renegotiate our board of directors' shares?"
After fiercely scolding for a while, it was about time for Roxia to return to the main topic.
If he continued to spout, perhaps one of the tycoons would really be unable to take it anymore and jump out to instantly kill him. Even if he had a chance to take revenge in the future, it would be too foolish to sacrifice himself just to vent his anger.
Actually, looking at all these archbishops, grand knights, and mages whose faces were all red from holding back their anger, the possibility of this happening was quite high.
This was no longer the initial stage. Back in the day, there were many representatives on the board of directors. Now, all the churches viewed this as an important business and the backbone of their bases. Naturally, their investments had greatly increased, and the representatives they sent were all important figures.
Rorschach made a private assessment. Without mentioning anything else, the four leaders of the level 7 churches were all super first-rate Demigods and Quasi Gods. It shouldn't be difficult for them to instantly kill him.
Not to mention, they were all representatives of the Mist Gods. In this area, they would receive the attention and buffs of the Gods. Their individual combat strength would increase by several levels.
But now, they all needed help from others, so even if Rorschach spat on them, they still had to listen obediently.
"Cough, it's been more than half an hour. We can finally sit down and talk. Let's put the past aside. What's important is what to do next. Your Excellency Rorschach, Vila Nova Dônia was built by you. I don't think you want to see it destroyed. "
Griffin, Archbishop Rogers of the Griffin Church, tried to smooth things over.
In a sense, the Griffin Church, which didn't have a close relationship in the past, was now closer to the Game Church.
"Heh, you're scared? That's right. Alright, let's get down to business. Business, let's start with why you're scared. "
Rorschach still didn't hold back, but he put both his feet down from the table. The expressions of the others finally improved.
Although what he said was unpleasant, it was the truth.
Yes, they were scared. The various churches of Vila Nova Dônia, countless Epics, Legends, Demigods, Quasi Gods, and even New Gods were all scared.
"… Is the news confirmed? Two Quasi Gods and a Child of God are confirmed to have fallen? "
Everyone's gaze turned to the pale-faced Fellini. As a Grand Knight, he had just become the local leader of the Eagle's Crown. He hadn't gotten used to the people here, and now, a huge problem had fallen on his head. He was really unlucky.
He wasn't familiar with the people here, and something had happened to his family. He had been wearing a gloomy expression to reduce his presence.
But now, as the "victim," he had to narrate the case. Naturally, he had to do it.
"How are the losses? Is it heartache? Did you buy insurance? "
Rorschach asked with a concerned expression. His questions were detailed and trivial, as if he was a friend who was worried about the Eagle's Crown … But if he tried to hide the joy on his face, people might really believe him.
"… It's true. Not only that, there's also the entire Child of Eagle Legion and a full set of the latest magic armor. You all know about the Child of Eagle, right? They're the ace of our aces. The weakest of them is the Level 5 God Slayer Legion. Every one of them has participated in more than ten Evil God Hunts.
There's no rookie among them … "Grand Knight Fellini closed his eyes and fell silent as he spoke.
He was truly sad and worried. This time, the Eagle's Crown didn't just lose flesh and blood. What they lost was their foundation. They could even accept the loss of a few of their super combat strength. The elites of the Child of Eagle were the backbone of the entire church. They were the result of countless Descenders being repeatedly eliminated and selected.
This was the result of decades of accumulation. Even if they were given another century, they might not be able to make up for this loss.
"… The Descenders have confirmed the death of their souls. Their physical bodies in the Aishi also exploded … Yep, exploded. Their flesh and blood transformed into bombs. They died extremely miserably. My Lord has also confirmed that not a single soul returned to the Divine Kingdom …"
The moment he finished speaking, the entire conference table fell into silence.
This loss was too great. It was ten times or even a hundred times worse than what was being spread outside. It was even possible that the Eagle's Crown would become a second-rate organization.
Although it was common for Descenders to have their souls destroyed, this time, even the souls of SemiGods and Quasi Gods weren't able to escape. Even their physical bodies had become unstable bombs. Their opponents were truly ridiculous.
The unknown was the scariest, especially when it came to unknown enemies. At this moment, Rorschach confirmed their "sincerity". They were truly afraid.
However, he only silently pulled up the zipper of his custom-made mask and indicated for them to speak first while he listened.
This was normal. Others only felt that he was frightened by the ferocity of his opponents. However, only he knew that he was afraid of accidentally revealing the truth.
Yep, the truth. He already knew the truth about who his opponents were.
