Chapter 921 Ink Color: What if I submit to him? (Seeking monthly votes)
Clearly, both of them felt that this matter was related to the Ink God King.

Especially God King Mitchell. In his view, Qiu Tu's sudden return at this critical juncture must be due to Mo Se's machinations.

However, the enormous phantom of the Ink God King, shrouded in holy radiance, also froze for a moment, a look of astonishment flashing in its starry eyes just like Mitchell's.

Seeing that both the Radiant God King and the Mitchell God King were looking at her, she immediately shook her head slightly, indicating that she was also unaware of the situation.

The Dark God King has a pretty good reputation in the "Temple of Order".

Since she claimed to be unaware of the matter, both the Radiant God King and the Mitchell God King immediately believed her.

And so, the empty hall fell silent once more.

Although the three giants remained silent and had different thoughts, they were all shrouded in the same question: Qiu Tu. What exactly does he want to do?
Shouldn't he be out there forming alliances and waiting for the right offer? Why did he suddenly run back to the Temple of Order?

Is he acting with impunity, or does he have other plans?

Unable to fathom Qiu Tu's intentions, the three high-ranking god-kings, after a silent clash and discussion, ultimately decided to first see what Qiu Tu was really up to.

Where is he now?

Finally, it was the Radiant God-King, who held the main position and possessed the most composed aura, who spoke first.

His voice was as soothing as ever, yet carried an undeniable majesty, reaching the god-king waiting outside the hall.

Upon hearing his words, Mitchell and the Dark God King were pulled back from their thoughts and turned their gazes toward the entrance of the main hall.

Upon hearing the words of the Radiant God-King, the God-King responsible for relaying messages outside the hall also bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, God-King Qiu Tu is just outside the Kingdom of the God of Wine."

He said he had completed his mission and was preparing to return to the "temple" to report for duty.

"It's simply because I haven't received orders that I can't enter the 'Kingdom of Dionysus' without permission, so I'm waiting for orders."

Beyond the land of Dionysus?
This answer surprised the three giants again, and then they seemed to be deep in thought.

Qiu Tu returned to the control of the "Temple," but did not enter the "Kingdom of the God of Wine," clearly expressing his attitude to the "Temple":

He now leans towards the temple, but the temple also needs to "take a few steps" towards him and show its attitude.

Moreover, the "Dionysian Kingdom" is Elena's world, belonging to the territory of the "Temple." Here, Elena, like the Shepherd God King, possesses strength comparable to a high-level God King.

Qiu Tu's absence clearly indicated a degree of wariness, demonstrating the distance between him and the "Temple."

"I'll go see him."

The Ink God-King spoke first, her clear, cold voice echoing in the hall. Her holy, ethereal figure trembled slightly, scattering starlight. "I'll go and probe his intentions, to see what he really wants."

Hearing her words, God-King Mitchell clearly wanted to say something more, but God-King Radiance timely raised his illusory hand and spoke.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Ink Color."

Seeing that the Radiant God-King had made the decision, God-King Mitchell could only open his mouth and then choose to remain silent.

However, his action clearly caught the attention of the Ink God King.

The holy and enormous phantom of the Ink God King turned towards the phantom of the Mitchell God King, its starry eyes flickering slightly.

She seemed to suddenly recall King Mitchell's sarcastic remarks from earlier, so she spoke slowly.
"By the way, what did Mitchell ask me just now?"

"Ask me what we should do if Qiu Tu wants me and Elena to give ourselves to him?"

At this point, she gave Mitchell a deep look, then said with a serious expression,

"If Qiu Tu is willing to return to the 'Temple' if we submit to him, then what's wrong with sacrificing ourselves?"

"After all, the interests of the temple and the Order pathways are far more important than our personal interests, aren't they?"

As he spoke, the Ink God King glanced at Mitchell again and said, "Moreover, Qiu Tu is powerful, handsome, and even younger than us, so it doesn't seem like we'd be at a disadvantage if we submitted to him, right?"

"After all," the Ink God King paused for a moment before continuing, "he's not like you, an old, ugly, and deformed person."

"puff--"

Upon hearing the incisive mockery of the Ink God King, God King Mitchell felt a rush of blood to his head. The enormous phantom trembled violently, its divine power causing the entire hall to buzz, and its rugged face visibly turned a deep liver color, as if it were about to bleed at any moment.

He pointed at the inky-black god king, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word.

He knew, of course, that the Dark God King was saying that on purpose, deliberately trying to annoy him and make sarcastic remarks.

The words of the Ink God King were all based on the noble cause of "sacrificing for the temple," and he had no way to refute them.

In the end, all his anger turned into a muffled groan of resentment.

Upon seeing this, the Ink God King chuckled and then ignored Mitchell.

She nodded slightly to the Radiant God-King, and her illusory image then transformed into starlight and dissipated in the hall.
The Radiant God-King witnessed the entire confrontation between the two, but refrained from intervening. Only after the Ink-Colored God-King left did a faint sigh emanate from his phantom form.
……

Beyond the land of Dionysus, mountains stretch endlessly.

Qiu Tu, dressed in black, stood quietly atop a solitary peak, his robes fluttering in the mountain wind. He didn't deliberately release his aura, but his upright figure seemed to blend into the entire world, exuding an imposing presence that commanded respect.

Not long after, two streaks of light pierced the sky in the distance, arriving one after the other in an instant.

A moment later, the light faded, and the figures of the Ink God King and Elena appeared before him.

The Ink God King was still wearing that holy white robe, his body shrouded in a faint starlight, his expression calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Elena, who followed behind her, was somewhat different. She wore a maroon low-cut dress, the front of which was almost plunging to her stomach, revealing a deep cleavage.

To be honest, Qiu Tu has always considered himself a gentleman. But faced with such temptation, he couldn't help but take a second look.

Elena and Qiu Tu were already "old acquaintances," so she keenly noticed Qiu Tu's gaze.

She narrowed her eyes, gave a languid smile, and then said lazily, "What? Fallen for me?"

Qiu Tu hadn't expected her to be so bold in front of the Ink God King, so he coughed and said, "No, I just want to get caught up in it." "Hehehe," hearing Qiu Tu's blunt words, Elena burst into uncontrollable laughter, her laughter shaking the mountains like an avalanche.

Meanwhile, the Dark God King, standing to the side, paid no attention to the two flirting and bantering as if no one else was around.

Ever since she landed, her beautiful blue eyes have been openly fixed on Qiu Tu.

His gaze held a mixture of curiosity, surprise, and a hint of inexplicable admiration.

Whether she sensed the gaze of the Dark God King or not, Elena stopped talking after exchanging a few rounds with Qiu Tu.

She glanced at the Dark God King, then winked at Qiu Tu.

Seeing Elena's signal, Qiu Tu also bowed respectfully to the Dark God King and said, "Qiu Tu greets Your Majesty."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Ink God King also came to his senses.

Given Qiu Tu's current status in the "Eternal Continent," he no longer needs to be so respectful to her. But Qiu Tu still did so, which clearly shows his attitude.

He still considers himself a member of the Black God King's faction.

Thinking this, the Dark God-King's expression became even more friendly. She nodded slightly to Qiu Tu, and then slowly said, "Elena has always told me that you are a great talent, but I was actually a little skeptical."

"But now it seems that she had a better eye for people."

Upon hearing the words of the Ink God King, Qiu Tu smiled at Elena and said, "You flatter me, Lady Elena."

Why do people need etiquette in their interactions? The core logic is to reduce "communication costs".

Especially for rising stars like Qiu Tu who have suddenly soared to prominence. His attitude towards the Ink God King and Elena, and the manners he uses, directly reveal his true feelings.

After they tacitly realized that Qiu Tu still favored them, the atmosphere among the three became much more harmonious.

With a wave of his hand, the Ink God King unleashed a dazzling golden light curtain that descended from the sky, like an inverted giant bowl, covering an area of ​​ten miles in radius. Outside the light curtain, everything became blurred and indistinct.

Clearly, this is to prevent other god-kings, especially high-ranking god-kings, from spying on us.

Having done all this, the Ink-Colored God-King withdrew his gaze and looked back at Qiu Tu, then asked, "I thought you really wanted to leave the 'Temple.' Now it seems there's more to the story?"

"Tell me, what happened?"

After speaking, the Ink-Colored God-King glanced around Qiu Tu's body, then said thoughtfully, "If I remember correctly, a Goddess-King named 'Zhao Ji' left with you before, heading to the 'Destruction Court.' Where is she?"

Since Qiu Tu dared to return to the "Temple of Order," he had clearly made thorough preparations long ago.

As someone who wants to sit at the table for a meal and play chess, he had already figured out where he would make his next move.

So, meeting the probing gaze of the Dark God King, he sighed deeply and said with a look of self-reproach, "Your Majesty, I have returned this time to apologize."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, both the Ink God King and Elena wore strange expressions.

Qiu Tu isn't joking, is he?
With his current strength and reputation in the "Eternal Continent", all forces are too busy supporting him to dare to question him.
Is this because they think they don't have enough enemies?

Moreover, shouldn't Qiu Tu be using this enormous influence to return to the "Temple" and then demand exorbitant prices from it? Why is he acting like such a submissive little wife?
Could there be some other hidden story behind this whole affair?

It can be said that Qiu Tu successfully aroused the curiosity of Mo Se and Elena with just one sentence, and also laid the groundwork for what he would say next.

At this moment, having successfully immersing the two people in the scenario he had created and introduced the emotion, Qiu Tu slowly began his performance.

He said with a look of frustration, "Your Majesty, I know you are completely confused right now. I can only say that it is all my fault, and I have failed your trust in me."

"You had such high hopes for me before, but I failed to complete the task you assigned me: to rebuild the intelligence agency of the 'Destroyed Royal Court.'"

"Moreover, not only did I fail to complete the mission, but Zhao Ji and I also fell into an ambush set by the 'Destroy the Royal Court,' were captured, and then forced to act out a play under their coercion."

"And then it had a huge impact on the 'Temple'."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Ink God King and Elena exchanged a glance, and then a question mark slowly appeared above their heads: ?

Of the two women, Elena was clearly more familiar with Qiu Tu, so upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, she pondered for a moment, and then took the initiative to ask,
"The acting you're talking about, is it the footage of killing the Berserker God King?"

Qiu Tu nodded seriously.

Ink-Colored God King:
Elena:
To be honest, before meeting Qiu Tu, Mo Se and Elena had imagined many scenarios and topics for their meeting with Qiu Tu.

They had guessed that Qiu Tu might be arrogant and domineering, might be hypocritical and deceitful, might make exorbitant demands, or might even be so audacious as to try and take advantage of the two of them.

But they never expected Qiu Tu to tell them that everything was fake.

To be honest, at that moment, both women felt like their brains were about to explode.

Qiu Tu, what exactly does this mean? And what are you trying to do?

Now the entire "Eternal Continent" knows that he killed the Berserker God King with a single sword strike.

Can the water that's sprayed out be taken back?
Thinking this, the two women couldn't help but look at each other again and exchange a brief conversation.

The Ink God King gave Elena a wink, and Elena nodded in understanding. Then she looked at Qiu Tu and continued to probe, "So you mean... the Berserker God King is still alive?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu deliberately showed a struggling expression on his face, as if some force was preventing him from speaking.

Finally, after a full two seconds, he said with difficulty, as if he had used up all his strength, "Yes. The Berserker God King is actually still alive."

"But now he's deliberately using this incident to go from the open to the shadows and hide himself away."

"Why is he hiding?" Elena asked, clearly puzzled.

But upon hearing her words, Qiu Tu chose to remain silent this time, as if he were under some kind of restriction.

Seeing this, Elena and the Dark God King exchanged a glance, their minds racing—
