Chapter 2764: Chapter 1187: Crisis and Opportunity

"Balance the earth veins? Are you fooling an idiot?" The Masked King sneered, "Don’t think I don’t know the range of molten lava activities. My city isn’t on a volcano, and it’s not far from the surface, so how could there be lava activity?

You clearly did it on purpose, using lava as a weapon!

Undeniably, for the lives in the Dark Domain, this weapon is immensely powerful,

but before that, are you sure you can withstand the revenge of the divine war?

Don’t think that with the protection of the Mother Earth, you can act recklessly. If I initiate a revenge divine war, she will also be restricted by the Council of Gods not to intervene!"

"This is really just a misunderstanding!" This time, it was Gaven who spoke, having teleported here.

He explained sincerely: "We are exploring a new way to stabilize the earth veins. Passing through your city was entirely accidental, and we are working to rectify this mistake.

Even without your intervention, within an hour, the earth veins will transfer away and cease to threaten your city."

"Ha..." Velen couldn’t help but sneer, "I didn’t expect Lord Road Builder to be so adept at sophistry. Whether it was prepared before I intervened or decided after my involvement, only you all know best in your hearts.

I still say, don’t take others for fools, especially don’t take the gods for fools.

Mortals have their game rules, and gods have theirs.

When you cross the line, it means others can too."

Gaven, showing a learning attitude, said: "Indeed, this matter was our recklessness. Please give us a chance to make amends.

Consider it as us owing you a favor.

As long as it doesn’t violate our core interests, we will assist you once.

I believe Lord Velen has already seen Lord Beary’s capability with molten lava.

He can relieve your city from the troubles of earth vein fluctuations, offering a chance to rescue it from volcanic eruptions or earthquakes."

Acknowledge mistakes and act firmly.

Guiding the molten earth veins to attack the Dwarves city was indeed their reckless action after gaining great strength.

Forgetting that these cities have their own divine protections.

They will not sit by while their believer cities are easily destroyed.

Unless they are fully prepared to initiate a divine war and face total retaliation from the opponent’s gods.

For ordinary people, an attack from a god incarnation is like an otherworldly nuclear strike, even the lowest level of incarnation is destructive.

It’s not hard to see from the Master of the Masked’s words that there is a treaty among the gods on this matter.

They are not allowed to easily intervene in mortal wars.

Once someone violates this treaty, whether good or evil, they will face hostility and sanctions from the gods.

This is the greatest and best protection for this world and for their believers.

This can be fully referenced from the previous turmoil Gaven and they stirred up in the territory of Prince Grazte of the Ubar, standing in front of a group of demigods and demonic incarnations. Even those infamous Legendary Demons were nothing more than advanced cannon fodder.

And those regular demons were left with nothing but struggling in agony, becoming the spoils of the victors. ℯℯ𝑙.

Mortals are even more fragile than those demons.

Now that he has been elevated to a demigod, he naturally must follow this treaty, not for himself, but for his lieges and believers.

"Not enough, far from enough." The Master of the Masked’s eyes danced with a scarlet light, clearly his anger wouldn’t easily subside.

"What else do you want as compensation?" Gaven asked patiently.

Velen demanded openly: "Withdraw from Mir Forest, hand over Mesnoel, and I will forgive your ignorance."

"Don’t overstep your bounds." Gaven’s expression suddenly cooled, "We admit our fault first, but that doesn’t mean we can retreat indefinitely.

Since Lord Velen is unwilling to let it go, then let us speak through war.

Let’s see if we uproot all your cities first, or if you annihilate our forces in Felen!"

He directly summoned the War Ravager, hands on the ground, with the Castle of Shadows looming behind him, while his left hand lit up with an unusual blood red.

Meanwhile, the Earth Bear silently returned to the Earth Stone, with the disturbance from below indicating his support for Gaven.

Compared to fighting Velen’s divine nature incarnation head-on, the Earth Bear exhibited more formidable combat ability underground.

If the war erupts in full, Isca Yole City would undoubtedly bear the brunt and be torn apart within minutes.

Earlier, Gaven and his allies hadn’t fully acted cruelly, merely using the earth vein magma to impact it without directly employing their divine nature force to attack.

Although they didn’t know about the gods’ treaty earlier, they were cautious enough to test the power of the earth vein magma and the reaction of those Dwarves elves.

"Things haven’t reached that point yet." Wealth Goddess Woken once again emerged from Gaven’s body, "If you go to war fully, only the Spider Queen will benefit, and surely she would be laughing in her dreams.

Both Mesnoel and Isca Yole City are what she desires.

Why don’t both sides take a step back, using Lord Road Builder’s previous conditions as a premise for a handshake and peace?

Though Road Builder indeed made the first mistake, it didn’t cause irreparable loss; a minor punishment is sufficient, not a major penalty."
