Chapter 262

Sui Xiong thought that the comments the God of Knights made in regards to the God of Justice were very logical. He could not help but nod his head repeatedly. He thought for a while and asked about the God of Light again.

“What about Wuther? What do You think of this student of Yours?”

The God of Knights smiled. “Oh, Wuther was exactly the opposite of Yorgaardman. He kept everything in His heart and never wanted to talk to anyone. He was famous when he was still young, inherited the family business when He was only fifteen years old and became a general stationed at the frontier. In the end, He was betrayed, and His troops and country were dead. When I saw an unyielding will turn into a flash of light, I dug him out of a pile of dead bodies. He was badly injured all over for a very long time. He could not even do exercises that were a little bit vigorous. He laid down on rocks and looked at the sky and was dazed all the time.”

“…Sounds a lot like one of my little brothers!”

“You’re talking about Leon Igor, right?” the God of Knights actually knew about Leon. “Back when I dug him out from the pile of dead bodies, I did feel that he looked a lot like Wuther.”

“Oh, f**k! That’s why back then, even when he was severely poisoned, shot until he looked like a hedgehog, and buried within the dead bodies… he was still alive! All because You saved him!” Sui Xiong was completely shocked. He saluted Him respectfully. “I have to thank You on his behalf. Thank you very much!”

“You are welcome. At that time he was still my believer. As a God, I was only protecting my talented believer, so there is no need to thank me,” the God of Knights sighed. “I should say, there were many of his family and friends who died too, and many of them were my believers. I did not save them. I hope he does not hold a grudge…”

“He should not. Do not worry about it,” Sui Xiong said. “But now he believes in me. Will you blame me for taking believers from You?”

“One is free to choose to believe in me, and one is also free to believe in others,” the God of Knights said. “I do not mind if my believers turn to another God. But I will not accept them back into my religion either.”

“Then all is well,” Sui Xiong laughed. “Let us talk about Wuther again. After He finished learning crafts from you, did He bring four little brothers back for revenge? The God of Orcs told me that He made a trap and killed 3 – 4,000 nobles and adventurers from his enemy country. Then, with a hammer in one hand and a longsword in the other, He barricaded the four doors of the royal town along with His four brothers. They killed everyone inside and out the town, even newborn babies and old men who were almost out of breath… is that true?”

“That’s a bit exaggerated, but in short, it is correct.” The God of Knights was silent for a moment and said, “This is Wuther. His character is a little extreme because He has suffered. His motto is to have a clear calculation before taking action, to be completely ready, to wait for opportunities patiently. That way he is able to accept any type of terrible outcome and hold Himself true when faced with profits. He is clear on what He should give and what He should take, clean and neat when it is time for action. He cannot even have one misstep. As long as He believed that what He was doing was right, then He could not care about anything at all, not even the methods that He used, or the consequences.”

“Oh, f**k! These words are terrifying to hear…”

“Yes, a lot of people are afraid of Him, even more than the people who respect Him,” the God of Knights sighed and said. “I have given him advice too, but He said since He has sat on the place that leads the entire human race, He wants to become someone who people look up to and comply with. He has no desire to be like me and have people respecting Him. So he chooses to have people fear Him. Making people feel fear is also not bad.”

“He did not just make people fear Him, He made people hate His guts,” Sui Xiong said. “My big brother included. He scolded me, saying that He was even worse than an animal. He even killed Mother God.”

The God of Knights sighed deeply. “I never thought He could do such thing! Ever since He started slowly expanding the Human God System, He rarely spoke with me before He did things. He talked to me even less after I did things that made Him mad… as a teacher, I have neglected my duties.”

“Did you not know the incident of Him killing the Mother of Sea?”

“I only found out when Mother God died, but it was already too late,” the God of Knights laughed bitterly. “He was really fast and fierce. It didn’t take Him long to complete the job. If I had His skills all those years ago, then I would not have been heavily injured from fighting a few mere animals…”

Sui Xiong nodded his head lightly. He did not have much respect for the Mother of Sea. Or rather, because of what he had heard from the Orc God System, it made him feel less affectionate towards “creators.” From his point of view, the Mother of Sea was dead anyway. The anger and hurt that his big brother had was probably a form of mental imprisonment, bound by the “creator.”

“Now then, this Wuther… what does He think of this?” Sui Xiong finally asked the key question, what he wanted answered most. “The Eagle Kingdom is just waiting to be destroyed if the situation continues, and the Orcs are mutating human beings with a plan. As the main God of humans, He cannot turn a blind eye on this, right?!”

The God of Knights was silent for quite a while. He replied, “I have no idea what He is thinking either. It is getting more difficult for me to understand His way of thinking…”

“But He should do something about it!” Sui Xiong yelled. “He cannot possibly gift the entire Eagle Kingdom to them? What will be next, the Kingdom of Holy Angels? And then the Kingdom of the Blue Moon, the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs… will he give them all away?

“He must have a plan of His own. His plan will be successful for sure,” the God of Knights said seriously. “All these years, He’s planned many other things and never failed. Every time He has gotten the best results. This time will not be any different.”

“Hey! That is just blind faith!”

“If a person always won, always succeeded, always thought of the things that you never expected, then you would blindly believe Him too,” the God of Knights said. “But you are right. This is exactly like blind faith… so I will also do what I can.”

“Do what you can? Do you mean calling on Your believers to support the Eagle Kingdom?” Sui Xiong pouted. “I am telling you, this is not a good idea. You have been shrinking more and more these past few years. Your believers are despised by the Church of God of Aristocracy. How many of them are left now? You’d have those few people help defy the large army of the Orc Empire? You are just sending them off to die!”

The God of Knights was silent for a moment. Finally, He said, “This is the only thing I could do.”

“What do You mean, huh? You can fight! You should go beat up God of Aristocracy! Once, You could fight six Giant Orc Gods all by Yourself, killing four and injuring two. You were so powerful and dominating. How difficult would it be to slash the God of Aristocracy now?!” Sui Xiong was furious. He was yelling, his whole body gesticulating until his saliva flew everywhere. “Is Your sword just a decoration? Is Your armor just for show? You are the old senior! A man with experience! Who is that God of Aristocracy fellow, anyway?! You could kill Her with one finger! If I were You, I would have grabbed a knife long ago, and sliced Her from Her front door to the back door, and then back again! Then stick the knife into a rock in front of Her house, leaving a message behind: ‘If You still dare play tricks, I will slash Your entire family’…”

The God of Knights was laughing because of his funny expression. After laughing for some time, He said, “You are over-simplifying things. First of all, I really am old, my body is not up for such things anymore. Secondly, it is really inconvenient in to deal with Her in my position…”

“You keep saying You are old… Gods do not age! Stop deceiving Yourself and others!”

“No; Gods just don’t age like others,” the God of Knights sighed. “I really am old now. So old that I have no more spirits or energy to fight anymore. I admit what you’re saying is reasonable. I also admit your ideas are very interesting. But I really cannot do it anymore.”

“Then You could let Your students do it!” Sui Xiong frowned and tried to persuade him. “Between those two students of Yours, either of them could beat up the God of Aristocracy so bloody Her Mother wouldn’t recognize Her. You would not even have to do it Yourself!”

“My students?” the God of Knights suddenly laughed. “Yorgaardman is not even a member of the Human God System. How can He take part in matters of internal affairs? As for Wuther… if He was willing, He would have done it without my asking. If He wasn’t willing, He would not be bothered to do it if I did ask. He has His own ideas, His own principles.”

“His principles lie in killing the Mother God of Humans, but he’d let the bad guy who wants to kill his teacher go free?” Sui Xiong said disdainfully. “If that’s true, his principles are terrible!”

The God of Knights laughed bitterly again. His voice was gradually becoming silent. The aura that shrouded the statue gradually dissipated as well.

“Hey! Are You leaving just like that? I still have lots of things that I wanted to discuss with You!”

But no matter how much Sui Xiong yelled, the God of Knights didn’t reply.

Inside the holy temple of the God of Knights, which was in the Glory Hall of the Country of Light, there was a sigh that sounded very old coming from the worn armor.

“…it is……going to end…… anyway…”
