Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 685 The Seaman Who Would Rather See the Undead Every Day
What are national alliances, what is the power of a monarch? They are meaningless in the face of these ever-growing forces of life.

Their only worry was that so many people had died, yet the River Styx still hadn't come.

Perhaps because the world's will discovered the Dark Goddess's ulterior motives, it set an extremely high bar for them to follow when it sacrificed itself to save the world.

Those who refuse to comply will naturally die.

The power of these dead gods to draw the River Styx is stronger than the power of tens of thousands of civilians to die.

The Goddess of the Night could understand why the Lord of Knowledge was unwilling to lend a helping hand.

They also understood that the Lord of Valor was only willing to fight to protect the world, but would never join them in changing the world's will.

For those who believe in God, watching their fellow human beings gradually perish while being powerless to stop it, and having to desperately try to save themselves, is also a kind of suffering.

On the contrary, it was the Goddess of Wealth, who had always enjoyed participating in this matter, who surprised her.

But this person is frighteningly neutral. As long as she can make enough profit and let the whole world know that she has made money, the Goddess of Wealth is very satisfied. Therefore, in order to profit as the world advances, she can indeed put aside her dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, those sacrifices were worthwhile.

The Styx River answered the call and gained a god of the underworld who met the standards of the world's will... Even the Styx River could not bypass the bottom line of the world.

Of course, the world's will also have no way to control the Grim Reaper directly under the Styx.

Having invested so much, they've finally seen hope; how could they allow these outsiders to take advantage of them?
If that underworld god's soul isn't strong enough, giving the outer god an opportunity... as long as that outer god doesn't do anything against the rules, it will be difficult to distinguish him from the original god of death after the world's will is revived.

Once the River Styx has fully entered and connected with the main trunk, it will be very difficult for them to change anything once they confirm that the Grim Reaper is problematic.

This is even more troublesome than a random sea god appearing out of nowhere!
It's impossible for Poseidon to become their sea god.

The laws of the sea will never accept someone as sinful as him.

If it were that easy, why would rainwater insist on targeting storms?
Fortunately, although this guy was always talking nonsense, he only had a superficial understanding of their world, so he never expected that his purpose had been exposed from the very beginning.

The woman in pain's purpose is clearly too deceptive.

Was he only helping Amannata to cause trouble for other gods?
The Goddess of the Night thought even that gullible little guy, Lori, wouldn't believe her.

Of course, there must have been some of these factors involved, but it can only be said that, upon discovering a shared interest, the Painful Lady chose to bring Amannatta along to commit evil together, and incidentally helped him smooth over past karma.

The only possible reason she would work with Poseidon is to make amends for the debt she owed him for running away from her arranged marriage years ago.

Although these guys changed the nature of the scarabs to make their purpose less obvious, turning them into tools that Amannata had obtained from outside.

However, the Goddess of the Night, who had been watching the Styx River for many years, immediately became wary.

Once this sea man started spouting nonsense while telling the truth, even the other gods stopped having doubts.

It was Seth who truly became interested in this world.

That unknown entity in the River Styx must have something very special about it that caught the attention of that dog-headed god.

Although Lady Pain insists that whoever receives the dowry should get married, she also knows that in the perception of the multiverse, she is the runaway bride.

If she could use one action to completely end this marriage, she would definitely be willing.

She didn't have much involvement with the outside world to begin with.

As for Poseidon... even with just a little understanding, the gods could tell just how greedy this guy was.

Give him a stick, and he'll climb over without any bait.

After all, even if he failed completely, the humans that Seth gave him could never be taken back.

Seth's plan was brilliant, but unfortunately, they were already prepared and had discovered the scarab's weakness.

As a creation of Set, the scarab's flaws are likely also his flaws.

The Lord of the Earth just went deep underground and set up a series of traps with extremely strong vitality.

Of course, before that, he first completely isolated the place where the Styx creature was located.

In fact, the Lord of the Earth was taking some risks by doing this.

If that Seth has another way, then there's really no other way.

After all, Set must have come from the source of the River Styx, so there's nothing they can do but rely on him to hold on.

However, the Lord of Ice also paid a heavy price to ensure that their prior preparations would not be exposed.

He could have escaped from his current stupid, ugly, and disgusting Qingxuan Ice body long ago, but in order to prevent the guys observing this place through the eyes of the sea people from noticing anything amiss, the Lord of Ice has persisted until now.

After all, he couldn't let anyone notice that the Lord of Earth had been daydreaming several times and that his eyes were clearly unfocused... but it would be hard to tell if he was just standing next to the Lord of Ice in a daze.

It's perfectly normal for my eyes to wander if I don't want to see him!
Perhaps it was because the world's fundamentally different relationships led this sea man to provoke things in the wrong direction.

We might even have to thank Oiseus for this… This guy clearly doesn't care about the ruler of the world, both in his heart and in his words. He's obviously never experienced the harsh realities of life and doesn't understand that not all gods are as naive as Oiseus, nor are they as shameless as Triton.

Lori tilted her head: "I wonder how things are outside now?"

"Can't you see it?" Travis pointed to the crystal ball behind them.

“This place is completely isolated. The only passage is occupied by the Lord of Ice!” Lori glanced at him. “When we jumped in just now, he hadn’t completely merged himself with this dimensional space yet.”

Now, nobody can leave even if they want to.

Travis paused for a moment, then exclaimed, "Ah...ah!"

“Didn’t you say you believed Leon was capable of resolving all of this?” Lowry said with a smile. “Why do you keep connecting with Luscania to see what’s going on over there?”

how's it going?"

"How did you know that?!" Travis said, displeased. "Didn't you forget to bring live feathers in?"

“Living feathers are magical creatures too!” Lori asked, puzzled. “What stupid question are you asking?”

I can't see it because the living feather has a special place to protect and can't stay in front of the castle mirror forever.

I had no other way to observe what was happening outside.

"You... signed a blood oath with that thing?" Travis was startled. "Living Feather, isn't it too weak in the later stages?"

Lori glanced at him: "Mages have other ways of making contracts, and dragons have them too. They're different from yours."

Travis nodded in realization: "That's alright."

“However, these two living feathers are indeed my destined contract partners.” Lori revealed a lively smile.

Lily looked at Travis curiously, trying to glean something from his ever-changing expression.

"You really do like to surprise people," Travis finally sighed. "I hope you know what you're doing."

“I know very well that this decision was made in preparation for what might happen in the future.” Lowry smiled, her eyes narrowing. “I still prefer a place that belongs to me, where only the people I’m willing to accept are there.”

Travis finally understood that Lowry did this for his Star Fortress.

Even if the world reopens and there are no longer any level caps, human resources still have limits.

Lowry's men, and even his mother, Lady Yages, might not be able to get ahead of time.

Although going to the stars may mean never making any more progress, what is frozen is only time in the human body, never human thought or inspiration.

If one can find a new path in the starry sky, then one can return to the earth and let time continue to flow.

"Living Feather, once you reach level 20, can the person carrying your own feathers perform short jumps?" Travis asked softly.

“That can be done at level 16,” Lori replied calmly. “After level 20, Living Feathers can make the buildings they are bound to also perform dimensional jumps.”

Although I will certainly build that fortress to be very sturdy, who knows what unexpected things might happen?
It's best to leave yourself a way out that you won't be affected by any external forces.

This is not a secret in other worlds, so Lowry can say it quite openly.

As for his other abilities with the living feathers, there's no need for him to mention them again.

Travis wouldn't be foolish enough to keep asking.

He didn't ask, but pointed to the sea man outside and said, "This guy is trying hard to evoke sympathy."

I find it a bit strange; Poseidon doesn't seem to have any value that would drive him this crazy, does it?

Triton would not likely to torment his descendants because of that father.

It's not worth it!
At most, I'll cooperate a little for my own mother's sake.

"So, why?" The Goddess of Night bent down and stared into the sea man's eyes. "It couldn't be that Triton gave your main body to Poseidon, could it?"

“No,” the sea man replied calmly. “Triton is not as shameless as you think.”

He was just... heartless.

"Oh?" The Goddess of the Night curiously crossed her arms and tilted her head to look at him.

“If Poseidon cannot enter this world to obtain a new faith, then he will ask Triton to send a group of people to him from Oiseus.”

"There's nothing wrong with that, is there?" the Lord of Wealth asked in surprise. "Aren't you all capable of surviving in the sea?"

Even if that world doesn't have islands, there are still boats for you to live on, and there's no shortage of fire, is there?"

“Who would leave Oises for a place like that?” the seaman blurted out. “It’s better to encounter undead every day than to go there!”

If Poseidon were capable, he would have already enabled those ten thousand people to multiply and grow to a sufficient number!
When Seth gave himself to someone, he didn't have them sterilized, nor did he choose only one gender.
