All Gods: Lords of War

"My Lord will treat every devout believer equally." Upon hearing this, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on the face of the dark god. He looked at the orc god opposite him and spoke slowly.

The relationship between believers and gods, lords and kings, subordinates of gods and their masters, and all living things in the world is very complicated, and sometimes even the parties involved find it difficult to understand clearly.

Compared to the relationship between believers and gods, which can be simply regarded as vassal relationship, the relationship between subordinate gods and their masters is much more complicated.

It is not appropriate to call it a vassal.

After all, believers are, in a sense, the products of gods' creation. From birth to death, they are completely dependent on gods and can never escape.

Even if one's strength reaches a certain level and one has the capital to go out and be independent, it is just an illusion.

Everything they have comes from the gods. Once they leave the gods, it would be tantamount to destroying their own foundation.

To put it simply, the gods have almost 100% control over the believers. They may not be able to control all the believers, but it is easy to destroy any one of them.

And what about God?

Most of the gods were indeed born under the spiritual authority of the Lord God and are highly dependent on the Lord God, but this does not mean that they will be controlled by the Lord God all their lives.

It is impossible for a person to not make progress throughout his life, and the same is true for gods.

No matter what their authority was when they were promoted, after a long period of development, it would eventually be different from that of the Lord God.

Unless they are willing to become the "slaves" of the Lord God and always move forward within the framework set by the Lord God.

But this phenomenon is rare. Only those gods who are completely supported by the Lord God are willing to do this, and they usually cannot go far on the path of divinity.

From this perspective, the relationship between the gods and the gods is different from that between believers and gods. At least the gods have a certain degree of autonomy.

The backup plan that the Lord God has planted in their faith may be able to inflict heavy damage on them, but forget about destroying them completely, it's impossible!

In fact, most gods are somewhat conflicted in their hearts about how to treat those who belong to them.

On the one hand, they hope that their subordinate gods are stronger, so as to increase the overall strength of the pantheon and gain benefits for themselves in the pantheon war. But on the other hand, they are worried that their subordinate gods are too strong and will threaten their position in the pantheon.

Indeed, even if a subordinate god is powerful, it is difficult for him to replace the Lord God.

The Lord God has an innate advantage and can see through the entire pantheon. It is normal for the subordinate gods not to notice their actions in secret, but if they want to overthrow the Lord God, they are asking for trouble.

However, this is only a thorn after all, and eternal life gives those who belong to God the capital to keep waiting.

And it is impossible for the Lord God to watch over them all the time.

This also leads to the complex psychology of most gods.

In fact, this is normal. The further you advance, the harder it is to advance in the spiritual realm. The power of the Lord God grows slower, while the subordinate gods are constantly improving. Whoever becomes the Lord God will have to suppress them.

After the revival of the new era, it is already very good.

At least, they have relaxed many restrictions on those who belong to God. In the past, the situation of those who belong to God would have been much more difficult.

This is not because the ancient gods are narrow-minded, but an inevitable result of development.

There are limited places at the thirteenth level, which leads to extremely fierce competition, so much so that they can only fight among themselves.

The reason why today's god players do not suppress their subordinate gods is simply because they have not reached the upper limit and are still making progress. One day, their strength will reach a bottleneck and they will be unable to improve for thousands or tens of thousands of years, while the strength of their subordinate gods is constantly improving. Then they will only have two choices.

Either we part ways amicably, release the restrictions placed on them by God, give them freedom, and let them go out and start their own business.

Either you try your best to suppress it, suppress the power of the gods, and always keep the god system in your own hands.

There is no other way.

Judging from the current results, most of the ancient gods chose the first one.

"The realm of the Lord God, the thirteenth level, is not the end of my Lord. My Lord's ambition is far greater than that of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. As for the attitude of the subordinate gods, my Lord has always hoped that they will become as strong as possible."

The dark spirit looked at the battlefield below and smiled like a friend: "The king regards the kingdom as a treasure, the true gods dominate the plane, and the main gods try their best to suppress the subordinate gods for the sake of the rule of the pantheon. In the eyes of my Lord, the pantheon is just a transitional tool in His hands, and sooner or later He will replace it."

“Only those gods without faith would regard the pantheon as the foundation of everything for them. They will never be able to break through the thirteenth level in their lifetime and can only be the master of their own pantheon within the pantheon.”

The orc god's expression kept changing, and his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness began to fluctuate violently.

The words of the dark god were like bombs that exploded in his heart, causing huge waves.

After a moment of silence, the orc god laughed and said, "You are just a lower-level true god, yet you look down on the Lord God. I don't know where you get the confidence from!"

"My Lord controls darkness and will ascend to the summit of all gods in the future. This is my confidence." The dark god had a pious look on his face, as fanatical as a believer.

As a native creature who grew up from an ordinary dark believer to the dark true god, his worship of the dark god is unquestionable. Even after he achieved the status of true god and understood the essence of believing in gods, his belief in the god has not changed at all.

He can sacrifice everything he has, including his eternal life, for the Dark Lord's orders.

The orc god carefully looked at his expression and found that he did not seem to be pretending. The being in front of him, who was a true god like himself, seemed to truly believe in the Dark Lord in his heart.

Suddenly, the orc god fell into silence. As a god who had played with faith for tens of thousands of years, he knew very well that he should not argue with a believer with devout faith.

These believers have their own set of logic, which is very different from that of normal creatures, so it is highly likely that it will not make sense.

The two stopped talking and fell into silence.

They looked at the battlefield below together, waiting for the end of the war.

Soon, after nearly half a month of fierce fighting, this bloody war came to an end. Like the previous battles, this battle ended with the victory of the dark army.

Although it was only a small victory, it is already good to win in the opponent's home court.

Many god players are still developing in secret and dare not act rashly. However, the Dark God system has not only established an empire openly, but also repeatedly repelled the coalition forces sent by the ancient gods. This is worthy of the title of the strongest.

For the Dark Empire, this was a small victory. After all, they had gained an advantage in terms of both casualty ratio and strategic perspective. And for the Myriad Beast God System, they did not lose either. Their mission was not to destroy the Dark Empire, which was simply impossible.

The Dark Empire is essentially just an overflow of the power of the Dark God System, and the Dark God System is an overflow of the Dark Lord. As long as the Dark Lord cannot be dealt with, it is meaningless even if the Dark Empire is dealt with. Therefore, restricting the development of the Dark Empire and preventing them from expanding without limit in the Chaos Continent is the real purpose of the ancient gods.

No matter how things change, the essence remains the same. Just delay and the problem will be solved.

After the battle, both sides quickly retreated with the bodies of their companions to prepare for the next major battle.

It can be foreseen that this will be a war that will last for a thousand years or even longer.

It won't stop until one side achieves complete victory.

The orc god Primo looked at the dark god going away, feeling somewhat anxious.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" After the battle, the orc demigod, who had suffered serious injuries, flew to the front of the orc god, and seeing that he looked unwell, he asked with concern.

"fine."

Primo came back to his senses, shook his head, then looked at his subordinate, and saw that he was covered with wounds. He frowned slightly: "How come the injuries are so serious after a battle? It seems that you didn't listen to my previous warnings at all." As he said that, Primo took out a divine power crystal with life attributes from the storage space and threw it directly to his subordinate.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

The orc demigod took the crystal with both hands and explained with an embarrassed look: "Your Majesty's words, I have always kept them in mind and dare not forget them. But..."

"Just what? If I'm not mistaken, your opponent is still the same one from last time. You can't tell me that he has become stronger in just a few years?" Primo glanced at him and said with a sneer.

“Although I don’t believe it, it’s true.”

The orc demigod nodded and said a little aggrievedly, "When we first fought, that guy was not as strong as me and was seriously injured by me. If no one had intervened, he would have died long ago. But who would have known that in the following decades of fighting, he became stronger each time and is now a better fighter than me. It's strange to say, it's only been a few decades, how could he have improved so quickly?"

Demigods do not have eternal life like gods, but they also have tens of thousands of years. In comparison, a few decades are really too short.

However, in just these few short decades, the opponent's strength has increased several times, which has caused the orc demigod to doubt his life.

Even if there is a difference in talent, this is too outrageous!

"Okay, if you can't beat him, then you can't beat him. Why are you making so many excuses? I'll help you apply for a visit to the Ten Thousand Beasts Pool for a cleanse." Primo waved his hand and said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Upon hearing this, the orc demigod's face lit up with joy.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Pool is a place where the essence and blood of billions of powerful creatures are gathered. Soaking in it is of great help in strengthening the body.

Even for true gods, it is of great help, and entering it with his demigod realm, as long as he is not a fool, he can get some improvement. If he is lucky, it is not impossible to take this opportunity to step into the powerful demigod realm.

And such a thing naturally cannot be the private property of a certain god. The Ten Thousand Beasts Pool is nominally the treasure of the entire Ten Thousand Beasts God system, so even gods cannot put people in without permission.

If you want to get someone in, you not only need to pay a high amount of resources, but you also need to consume quotas and apply in advance. With Primo at the level of a lower true god, he will get a few quotas every ten years.

"Next, you should practice well. I don't want to see the warriors I have trained for thousands of years die on the battlefield without giving anything in return."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I am very strong and I won't die so easily."

"Hopefully."

With their elite troops, the two men returned all the way to their own territory.

Before the people landed and the army settled down, a figure quickly came over. It was a tiger man wearing blood-red armor.

"Your Majesty, you are finally back." The tiger man had a sad face. He was a powerful demigod, but he was about to cry at this moment.

When Primo saw his look, he immediately felt something was wrong and asked, "Pedi, what happened? Aren't you guarding [Dalis]? Why did you come back here?"

"Your Majesty, I have failed to live up to your trust. [Dalis] has been taken away." The tiger demigod said with shame.

"Who took it away? Those Void Gods? Based on their strength, it is impossible that you couldn't even last half a month. Did you neglect your duty?" Primo looked at the tiger man and said coldly.

"It's not those void gods, it's Angus. They said that they suffered heavy losses in exploring the void plane recently, so they asked me to lend them [Dalis] as a subsidy for the development of the Ten Thousand Beast God System." The tiger demigod trembled all over, and then said cautiously.

"Angus?" Primo was a little confused, not knowing who this was.

"It's the demigod general under Senior's command." Seeing this, the tiger demigod said softly.

Hearing this, Primo suddenly felt a headache.

Like him, Sinel was a subordinate god under the command of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, but Sinel had followed the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts for a long time and was a true descendant.

In terms of strength, Senior is stronger than Primo and has truly reached the realm of a middle-level true god.

When it comes to the power of believers, it is even more so.

As an orc kingdom, the territory of Sinel's kingdom is more than three times that of Primo, and its resources are relatively abundant.

If we include the territory in the void, it will be no problem to defeat five Primos.

"Why are you talking about Senior again?"

Primo's expression became serious, and he looked at the tiger demigod, "Tell me everything that happened, don't leave out any details, or if something goes wrong, I will hold you accountable."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

How could the tiger man demigod dare to hide anything? He immediately told the whole story from beginning to end: "[Dalis] and"

Soon, the tiger man told Primo the whole process. After listening to it, Primo's face instantly turned cold and his eyes were filled with anger.

"This is too much. Senior is really too much."

Primo looked up into the distance, as if he saw the smug god: "We are both gods of the Myriad Beast God System. Even if He is stronger than me, this is too much."

Then, He looked at the two demigods and said, "You two go back and organize your troops. Come with me to get [Dalis] back."

"Yes." (End of chapter)
