1067 Chapter 593: Great Turmoil, Divine Kingdom Shattered [2/2]
Richard spoke gentlemanly.
"Your Excellency Tai Long, I disagree."
A hand gently patted his shoulder.
"The mission I gave you is to level the rotten swamp up to 6. The Rotten Swamp hadn't even reached level 5 yet. Why do you want to give up halfway?"
The god of deception was stunned for a moment. He smiled bitterly afterward.
"But I…"
Richard waved his hand and interrupted him.
"I don't need to hear excuses and reasons. I'm only telling you that you're still in charge of the rotten swamp. Any objections?"
The stern tone subtly touched the god of deception.
"Lord, I…"
"I say, do you have any objections?"
"I…"
"Hmm?"
The god of deception finally let out a long sigh and gritted his teeth.
"Lord, I will listen to your arrangements!
"But my current strength is no longer enough to control the situation. I wish to request for a hero to help me."
Richard's face softened a little.
"I'll have Gunter assist you.
"Alright. You can leave if there's nothing else."
The god of deception looked at Richard and bowed to him for the first time with his hands on his chest. He saluted him with the most sincere gesture.
He slowly turned around after the ceremony.
However, a voice with a strong instigation sounded behind him just as he was about to step out of the hall.
"Not only you, the gods have also lost their authority.
"Losing it doesn't mean you can't get it back in this lifetime!
"Tai Long, I will help you get what you've lost back.
"You only need to remember that regardless of whether you are a god or a mortal, you are a citizen of Twilight City."
Tai Long's body trembled. He paused for a long time. He stepped out of the door.
He left the Lord's Mansion. He did not turn back and walked out of the city.
They erected all kinds of buildings on the empty land. The city seemed very busy. It was especially lively at this moment.
Tai Long did not care about such a scene in the past.
However, his emotions gradually surged when he saw the smiling faces and hope-filled gazes and longings of the people.
Everything will be different from today onwards.
He has earned a new identity. He is a resident of Twilight City.
He lost his authority and power. He still accepted his lord's promise.
His heart initially wandered. He now felt a sense of belongingness.
The city under his feet was no longer his shackles, nor was it a tool for him to recover his strength. Instead, the people relied on him. He would protect the city in the future.
[Ding~ You have obtained the allegiance of the Deception God. Your ability to differentiate between deception and lies has reached a legendary level. You can detect anyone who wants to lie before you. Your gaze can see through people's hearts.]
Richard's expression changed when he heard the notification.
Damn, he didn't expect that he would get such benefits by keeping the Deception God. It was a pure surprise.
Tai Long lost his power, but it was not death. He was still a top-notch teacher, even if he became a mortal. How could he let the other party leave?
The knowledge in his mind was also a precious treasure.
Talent was always the most important.
Richard read the notifications a few times. He noticed something strange. The prompt still referred to Tai Long. He had lost his authority as the god of Deception.
"What did this mean?"
He was still a god, although he lost his power. Or could it be that one couldn't replace the god of deception?
Did this mean that the other gods were the same?
Richard pondered and wrote this down. He could use this information someday.
The arrival of Tai Long made Richard feel much better.
He was excited that the rotten swamp was about to reach level 5.
What would a level 5 rotten swamp be like?
All transcendent troops!
The Radiant Moon 3-stars Bloody Slaughterer was level 17 newborn troop and had reached nearly 20,000 after a few months of accumulation.
It wouldn't be long before he would have two troops of extraordinary soldiers! That is the significance of the advancement!
It was simply awesome!
It was undoubtedly a joyous occasion for the troop in his hands to welcome a wave of reinforcement in such a turbulent situation.
Moreover, the chaos had just begun. A force stripped the gods of their powers. Next, these connected the abyss, hell, and the undead to the Mortal Plane.
Twilight City was far from safe, although one could find it in the depths of the desert.
They could already smell the thick smell of blood, although the crisis had yet to arrive.
The last ray of light in the sky dimmed.
The silver moonlight quietly sprinkled on the hall.
It resonated with the light of the magic lamp.
Richard withdrew his emotions and walked to the window. He stared up at the moon.
"What could Windsor be doing?"
He glanced at the moon for a while. He suddenly froze. He was about to turn around and leave the window.
Stars suddenly lit up one after another in the night sky.
It was sparkling.
Hundreds and thousands of them flashed at the same time. The scene was quite spectacular, and the entire sky lit up.
"What was this?"
