Chapter 1795 Is the debt of gratitude still not enough?

Babayak paused, his warm smile vanishing, replaced by a serious expression as he replied:

"Complete the timeline loop and save Lord Lu Li's life."

Xing Anlin: "???"

Lin Qinyue and Liu Wenjian frowned, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Don't go all out like this, I haven't adjusted yet..." Xing Anlin hesitated, one hand on his forehead, before speaking:

"Time loop... saved Brother Li's life?"

"You mean Brother Li is in trouble right now?"

Babayak nodded first, then shook his head.

"You bastard, explain yourself clearly!" Liu Wenjian couldn't help but shout at him.

He never had a good impression of these 'self-righteous' Gobelins.

Hearing that Lu Li might be in danger, he became increasingly anxious.

Babayak showed little emotional change in the face of Liu Wenjian's reprimand.

Instead, a group of armored soldiers behind him stepped forward and aggressively approached Liu Wenjian!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Qinfeng immediately mobilized her demonic energy to block it.

They are trying to prevent this impending conflict in a moderate manner acceptable to both sides.

However, to Lin Qinfeng's complete surprise,

Her deliberate choice of the 'gentle' approach of mobilizing demonic energy nearly became the final trigger for the outbreak of conflict!

The barrier formed by demonic energy gently stopped the impulsive Liu Wenjian and the group of armored soldiers behind Babayak.

But when the blackish-green gas came into close contact with Babayak, the latter's body surface was suddenly radiated with holy electric light!

For a moment, the crackling and popping sounds were incessant.

It looked as if Lin Qinfeng was intentionally attacking Babayak.

Kratos, with his impulsive nature, almost lunged out with a roar!

Fortunately, Babayak reacted quickly and spoke up in time to stop it, thus preventing a misunderstanding from occurring.

“Go back, Kratos! I’m fine.”

While controlling the electricity crackling around his body, Babayak turned and shouted at Kratos:

"It's just a normal reaction that comes from the collision of two opposing powers."

"Calm down, everyone. Don't forget why we're here."

"But Your Majesty, that fellow Liu Wenjian has been disrespectful to you all along!" Kratos, though he had calmed down for the time being, still didn't let up and roared in a hoarse voice.

“It doesn’t matter if outsiders look down on us, or even the Gobelins as a group.”

"But you are the chosen one, a great being who has already stepped into the ranks of gods!"

"I will not allow them to treat you so recklessly, to treat you like any other Gobelins!"

“But I’m just an ordinary Gobelin.” For the first time, Babayak’s demeanor changed in front of Xing Anlin and the others, and he responded in a stern tone:

"Do you think that because I have authority, I am different from all of you, and should be separated from Gobelins?"

"Or do you think that just because my compatriots have been calling me 'Your Majesty the Emperor' for over six hundred years, I've truly become a supreme emperor?!"

"I..." Kratos was speechless, unsure how to respond.

Babayak continued:

"I owe all my strength today to Lord Lu Li's grace!"

"And I was able to become the emperor of Gobelin entirely because of the trust my people placed in me!"

"You are the ones who lifted me up high. Without you, without every one of my compatriots in Gobelins, where would I be to be His Majesty the Emperor?!"

Upon hearing this, Kratos was completely speechless.

Seeing that it had an effect, Babayak stopped emphasizing it and instead spoke softly to Lin Qinfeng opposite him:

"I'm sorry, it almost caused a big misunderstanding."

"Because my authority is subordinate to the divine, it is inevitable that it will react when it encounters demonic energy."

"But you don't need to worry, this level of damage won't hurt me."

"Uh..." Lin Qinfeng quickly withdrew the power of the [Blasphemy] authority, and replied somewhat incoherently:

"I should be the one apologizing... wait, you just said your authority is subordinate to the divine?!"

Lin Qinfeng was shocked.

Not only was she surprised, but Liu Wenjian and Xing Anlin, who were standing next to her, were also surprised.

"The authority of the Holy Ones is contained within you, a low-ranking Gobelin?!"

"I, Lao Deng, died on the very first day of the apocalypse. I'm not experienced enough, so don't try to fool me..."

Xing Anlin looked like he'd seen a ghost, staring at Babayak as if he were visiting a rare animal.

“If Lord Xing Anlin wishes to see, I am willing to show it to him.” Babayak’s face regained its warm smile, as if he had a good impression of the disheveled young man he was meeting for the first time.

"What are you waiting for? Let me see!" Xing Anlin was genuinely curious and immediately nodded and urged without any hesitation.

Lin Qinfeng and Liu Wenjian exchanged a glance and chose to remain silent and observe the situation.

Kratos and the other loyal chapter members remained silent, simply watching their emperor.

Babayak pressed his palm lightly against his chest, and when he opened it again, a fist-sized orb of light appeared in his palm.

If you squint, you can see that there are two oddly shaped stones inside.

They are all golden in color, close to each other but not completely aligned.

"A touchstone, you think?!" Xing Anlin exclaimed in surprise, pointing at the luminous orb in Babayak's hand and clicking his tongue in amazement.

"You recognize this authority?" Liu Wenjian asked curiously.

"I've heard that there are seven authorities under the Holy One. Which one is this?"

Unexpectedly, Xing Anlin shook his head quite decisively:

"I'm a hen."

"I only noticed that its shape resembles the Touchstone in the game, and I didn't know what kind of authority it was."

Liu Wenjian: "..."

"Hey Lao Deng, what kind of authority do you have?" Xing Anlin didn't hold back and asked Babayak directly.

"In reply to Lord Xing Anlin, the authority I possess is the 'loyalty' of the Holy One and His subordinates," Babayak replied truthfully, without any intention of concealing anything.

"Loyalty? You really can't repay all the favors you've done..." Xing Anlin twitched the corner of his mouth, unable to resist teasing him with a smile:

"So what is the function of this power you have?"

The moment the question was asked, the atmosphere, which had just begun to ease, became awkward again.

Liu Wenjian silently gave Xing Anlin a thumbs up for his 'fearlessness' in his heart.

Lin Qinfeng's tense gaze kept darting between the two of them, fearing that a conflict like the previous one would occur again.

Having met for less than ten minutes, he immediately asked what the function of authority was.

Looking across the entire Demon Realm, and even the entire real world, there is probably no one who can rival Xing Anlin!

What's the difference between this and seeing a beautiful stranger on the street and immediately taking off your pants after only a few words of conversation?!

That's a bit too direct!

That's so direct it's almost impolite!
