Sui Xiong had to act on what he had said. He put searching for his own body aside and went all out to work on finding helpers for Javier.
He first contacted his elder brother, Yorgaardman. Yorgaardman was willing to help, but he also reminded Sui Xiong that Javier was not very powerful. Thus, when he entered that period of weakness, he would be as vulnerable as a paper man that could be killed with a single attack; Sui Xiong had to find more helpers.
“Will there be anyone who dares to make trouble with us?” Sui Xiong found something ominous from his brother’s words and asked in surprise.
“There isn’t anyone so eager to die, but you know, the rewards are large enough this time.” Yorgaardman sighed. “As long as there are enough benefits, people are usually willing to do business in risk of losing their lives. Let’s say this time, if someone can catch the opportunity to make a quick attack and run away immediately, as long as he is well prepared beforehand, he may be able to escape before we take any action. By then, if he escapes to the abyss and hides there, who can hunt him down there?”
“I can!” Sui Xiong said viciously.
“Even if you can, you’re the only one. It’s safer to be chased by you than by two great Divine Powers.”
“There is no such thing as ‘safe’ for the man I’m chasing!” Sui Xiong was so angry that his eye opened widely. “Besides, there are more than two great Divine Powers!”
“You mean the Goddess of Wealth, Manissy? Forget it. She just has the title of a great Divine Power.” Yorgaardman laughed and shook his head. “Let me tell you, even though she is a great Divine Power, she most likely will be defeated by those powerful ones from the mid-level Divine Powers in a fight.”
Sui Xiong was shocked in his heart. “Is she that weak?”
“She is just a bigger-sized Javier. Now Javier is also a low-level Divine Power, but do you think he can defeat those powerful ones from the low-level Divine Powers?”
Sui Xiong thought about it for a while and shook his head helplessly.
Then, he realized that the Goddess of Wealth was indeed a second-rate master, and she wouldn’t be a useful helper.
“But we still have Wenner. He’s indeed a great Divine Power,” Sui Xiong added. “I think he’s quite reliable.”
Yorgaardman was surprised at first. Then he remembered that Sui Xiong had the whole War God System as subordinates, so he couldn’t help but laugh quietly.
“Of course, Wenner is powerful enough. He is even one of the most powerful ones among the great Divine Powers,” Yorgaardman said with a smile. “I still don’t understand why he was willing to submit to you when he lost in the war. Even if he couldn’t defeat you, he could at least protect his God’s Kingdom.”
“God knows. Anyway, he swore to treat me as his leader, and I don’t think he would joke about that.”
“Of course, no gods can act against their oath, or… Anyway, all those who dared to do so were dead. Wenner is not a fool, and he won’t want to be such an example,” Yorgaardman laughed and said. “But I didn’t count him in as one of our helpers. Why don’t you go and ask Law Brans for help? He is your student, and he is supposed to help when his teacher is in trouble.”
“The God of Law?” It was Sui Xiong’s turn to be a little surprised. He really hadn’t thought about the God of Law.
“I don’t think he will help. I remember that his doctrine is all about rigorous and impartial things, and he would never do something for selfish means. Isn’t it against his doctrine to use his power for private purposes?”
“How could this be a private matter? It’s civil business!” Yorgaardman said indifferently. “What’s more, there is more than one way to explain the law. As long as we can find a proper excuse, will there be anything illegal? Will there be any idea against his doctrine?”
It could be seen that Yorgaardman was biased or even hostile towards the law and law enforcers. It was probably related to his background and his early experiences—perhaps it was due to what he had seen and heard during his travels in the human world over the years.
He had always been wandering around as a poor warrior and fighting for those weak people. Thus, he had seen too many improper actions of the law enforcers. The law that should safeguard fairness and justice had been used by them to bully the good and take care of the evil.
Sui Xiong did not see anything that Yorgaardman had seen and heard, but he still knew more or less about that. After thinking for a bit, he understood why his elder brother was so dissatisfied with the law.
However, he was not Yorgaardman. He had no expectations for the law, and naturally, there would be no indignation. Besides, the God of Law was his friend now, and he really did not want to embarrass his friend.
So after thinking about it carefully, he decided not to seek help from the God of Law.
Even if Manissy was a second-rate master, her identity as a great Divine Power could still be a threat to others. Coupled with Yorgaardman, Wenner and Sui Xiong, there would be enough high-end forces.
Moreover, there would still be those god followers from the War God System, as well as Sui Xiong’s friends from the mid-level, low-level and weak Divine Powers.
With such a large group of helpers to protect Javier, even if there were insane gods that wanted to attack Javier in spite of the losses, they would make Javier safe.
So a few days later, the friends of Sui Xiong and most of the gods of the War God System gathered around Javier’s God’s Kingdom, the Joy of the Wild.
By the way, it was not until then that Sui Xiong learned from Javier that the God’s Kingdom he had chosen before belonged to the God of Wine.
The late God of Wine lived a short life. He was keen on doing business after he became a god. He sold his wine at a high price and gained many benefits.
However, that was envied by others. Later, the gods of the War God System seized the opportunity to launch a sudden attack and caught him alive. Then they sealed up his God’s Kingdom with magic, waiting for someone to replace him.
The War God System had planned to cultivate a new God of Wine by themselves, but it was hard to do that. It was almost a fantastic idea to find someone who could match the doctrine of the God of Wine among the followers of the War God System.
The doctrine of the gods of the War God System was all about the longing for bravery and fighting. But the God of Wine was a weak god, and what he pursued was that no matter what the future might be, he had to have a good drink today. How could a fellow who held such an indomitable idea match the ideas of the War God System and become their high-ranking follower?
Looking for an heir for the God of Wine out of the followers of the War God System—that was something beyond their consideration.
In that case, it had been delayed until now.
Then Javier got that God’s Kingdom. At that time, Javier just subconsciously felt that “this treasure and I have a destiny,” and when he came home and had a look at it, he could not help but laugh happily.
There was no such a follower in the War God System, but there was one in his followers. Actually, there was not just one, there were many more!
Wasn’t the doctrine of the God of Wine hedonism?!
Maybe this was the arrangement of fate. Javier had never planned to become the God of Pleasure so early, but when he got the God’s Kingdom of the God of Wine, he felt the breath of fate and changed his mind.
Therefore, while arranging for his believer to take over the clergy of the God of Wine, he also prepared for the adjustment of his own clergy.
In fact, that was a helpless move. If Javier did not take advantage of this opportunity to change his clergy now, later, the clergy of Pleasure would probably be automatically awarded to the new God of Wine. Although that would not change the status of Javier, a master god, and his god followers, it would undoubtedly be a very bad situation for him if he wanted to be the God of Pleasure.
Thus, he was actually forced to do this at this time.
“Fortunately, although fate is mean to me, my friends are still very kind!” Javier stood in the center of the huge magic array that had been built in the God’s Kingdom. He looked at the large group of bodyguards that had surrounded the whole God’s Kingdom and smiled, finally calming down completely.
