Chapter 1109: Chapter 523: Divinity and Godslayer

On the penultimate day of the "final deadline" set by the Divine, a towering mountain of sandstone appeared among the snowy peaks.

No, if someone dared to get closer and observe closely, they would discover a truth that would leave their limbs trembling.

That is not a mountain peak.

But a silent sandstone giant sitting atop the mountains.

The sandstone formed features that exuded authority without anger, and the surrounding mountains rose and fell with His breath.

He is the God of Sand and Stone.

Silently and calmly, He waits for mortals to provide their answer.

At this point, whether those mortals hand over the beastmen they are searching for, He would not be surprised.

He realizes there is a problem.

The God of Sand and Stone might not be very clever, nor very cautious, but He is not entirely without wit.

After all, having lived so long, even if His mind runs a bit slower, the long years have endowed Him with wisdom surpassing that of mortals.

Even if it’s only a tiny bit.

Even if it only exceeds that of a less clever mortal.

The God of Sand and Stone has realized it.

He... has been schemed against.

This time, He boasted in the Northern Lands without success, and instead, was quietly maneuvered to be used as a pawn.

No, it wasn’t entirely that He was pushed out...it was His own arrogance that allowed others to seize the opportunity.

The God of Sand and Stone became increasingly silent as He realized this.

Now, He feels a strong sense of defeat.

Could it be... am I truly this foolish?

If not for someone’s reminder, He wouldn’t have realized the problem, almost allowing that damned Fulingya to seize the opportunity to completely sever ties between Him and the Natural Pantheon.

Yet even though He hasn’t entirely lost the protection of the Natural Pantheon, the current situation isn’t much better.

Those who conspired together within the Earth Pantheon have already abandoned Him.

Those who previously agreed to advance and retreat together, to scheme against the Natural Pantheon, all changed their stance upon noticing the issues!

Not only that, they have thrown all the blame onto one person—me!

Though I did contribute the most and acted with the most zest, weren’t you all doing the same!!?

How can making more efforts result in becoming the villain!!?

The God of Sand and Stone is immensely angry, yet powerless.

If there was only one betrayer, He still could choose to retaliate, letting them understand the consequences of betrayal and the price to pay!

But now there are too many.

No matter how skilled in battle He is, He cannot fight everyone alone.

The result is that He is threatened not to speak of previous matters, else He will completely lose the chance to return to the Earth Pantheon.

Yes, it’s not a guarantee of "definitely being able to return to the Earth Pantheon," but an "opportunity to return" later.

This group vilely suggests that after clearing all troubles, He may return to the Earth Pantheon, but His return depends on their mood.

Damn it!

The God of Sand and Stone feels very unwell.

He feels as though suddenly abandoned by destiny, everything changed in less than a month.

The plan, once seeming foolproof, suddenly failed; He didn’t mind, thinking it was Fulingya acting secretly, thinking He finally pushed her to the brink.

Then, even seeking prophecy yielded no result, He still didn’t mind, believing she had too many countermeasures and was afraid of discovery, a cowardly act.

Now, Himself nearly slaughtered, allies for centuries have all severed ties, leaving Him solitary and helpless, finally realizing the error.

He has been manipulated, used, cut off, and mocked by others...

The God of Sand and Stone feels immense anger and embarrassment but chooses silence, appearing particularly calm.

Already enough dishonor, He must not lose more face.

In such a situation, He cannot easily retreat, claim a mistake, and slink away.

He does not intend to acknowledge His mistakes.

At least mortals won’t know the truth.

He has lost enough face before the Gods; He must not lose His majesty before mortals.

The great Divine does not make erroneous judgments.

This stubborn insistence is His last dignity as a Divine, an inviolable bottom line.

If this bottom line is breached, the God of Sand and Stone will fall entirely into madness, ignoring everything else and going berserk.

And this fact is well understood by other Divines, thus the reason none attempted further provocation.

Even attempts by the Evil Faction to incite Him were thwarted midway, opposed not only by forces of justice but even by allies within the Evil Faction.

No Divine wishes to see a powerful lunatic rampage freely in the Mortal Realm, for it would pull everyone into chaos together.

The opportunity is far from ripe, and no one is prepared for the consequences.

They cautiously handle this bomb, potentially explosive at any moment, hoping He might quietly withdraw.

Except for one person.

One person does not care about these.

The Godslayer does not heed the Gods’ concerns, nor wishes to meddle in their frivolous schemes.
