Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 865 The King's Quiet Departure

“Poseidon, the more you do that, the more you will slide toward becoming an abomination.”

Even for gods, the multiverse doesn't completely deny them a chance.

If you can restrain your urge to devour others and avoid choosing a reckless lifestyle, you will have a chance to survive.

Otherwise, even if he could gain permission to enter a certain world, the final result would be the same... bleak." Armies shook his head: "If the Lady of Pain were willing to admit her identity, he might be in a slightly better position."

After all, that person is already the controller of a certain law of the multiverse.

But it was clear that Ms. Pain had chosen to side with Triton.

“She was able to escape the marriage so easily, she must have had the help of Triton and his mother,” Persephone replied somewhat dejectedly. “Back in Greece, Triton also took good care of these younger sisters.”

Poseidon never bothered with it.

Perhaps it was Triton's efforts that enabled him to escape Greece with them.

As a result, Poseidon sent all his beautiful daughters away to marry into other men's families.

However, while the previous ones also had various problems, at least they still had some semblance of order.

But Seth?
No matter how nicely it's described, it's just a dog's head!
Although the Greek goddesses didn't place as much importance on chastity, who would want to spend their whole life with a dog?

Has Poseidon forgotten how difficult it was for him to pursue women?

That's only because he's ugly, stupid, and an idiot.

But at least he still had a human form, so the children he gave birth to wouldn't be too bad.

Although the appearance of gods in other worlds of the multiverse may not be closely related to their bloodline.

Even a dog's head can give birth to a human-shaped deity.

But the lineage of the sea god had only just left Greece at that time, how could a little girl know these things... Besides, even if the child is fine, her eyes are not!

Moreover, Seth is the Grim Reaper, and even a Grim Reaper who plays with insects!
Anyone would have to run away.

The reason why the Painful Lady didn't retaliate was because her path to godhood wasn't suited to doing so.

We can't just move Imprint City to that godforsaken place; it's too much trouble.

She was able to reach that point because she completely severed ties with the past, and perhaps even completely abandoned her physical body.

Blade is less a weapon than an integral part of her being.

That's why she was invincible only in Sigil.

"I thought Poseidon would be the one having the best time among us," Hades said, somewhat lost in thought.

"How could you think that?" Armies was startled. "Aren't you the best one?"
Even Poseidon… oh, you mean, he ruled a world all by himself, right?”

The feud between Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus all stemmed from the sovereignty of the Greek world.

After the destruction of Greece, Zeus is no longer relevant. Although Hades gained recognition from the multiverse and found an opportunity to become immortal again, he also completely gave up the possibility of becoming the ruler of a world again.

Under the rule of the Styx, there is no chance to become a true king.

Even if there is only one Hades in the entire world, he is actually just a messenger of the River Styx, only with more power.

The fact that the Styx messenger has nothing outside the River Styx is its most obvious weakness.

But it was precisely because they chose this path that the Styx messengers gained immortality because of the existence of the Styx.

Other gods, however, can die.

The Styx messenger called it "going home."

If you let it rest in the River Styx, it will reappear.

So far, only Poseidon has truly held absolute power.

Even if he has to grovel before other worlds and offer up his daughters, he is still the true ruler of the world.

However, the multiverse is just slow to react, not that it ignores it.

When the time comes, we'll simply draw up the list.

Perhaps... the multiverse's main purge targeted those who fled first.

Poseidon only fled with his family when the world exploded, so it's normal that he was a little slower.

Moreover… Armes thought expressionlessly, wouldn’t the fate of these three brothers also arrive at about the same time?
Hades awakens, Zeus sleeps eternally, and Poseidon is punished by his wife and children.

The severity of the punishment was commensurate with their status and merits.

Hades was never the type to insist on becoming king or conqueror, and he had no bad karma before or after, so he was granted a peaceful future.

Although my luck is definitely not good, things will get better someday.

Zeus then had no more chance to commit evil.

Unless the multiverse decides it's necessary to use him someday.

But if that happens, the outcome will only be worse.

With Hermes by his side, Zeus shouldn't be that foolish.

In general, the multiverse will widely announce these entities to be eliminated, aiming to catch only those who are willing to take the bait.

If they come, it's not like there's absolutely no chance.

After all, even a world that meets the standards for automatic cleanup in the multiverse may not be able to survive until the end.

That will definitely be a war of attrition.

Although, generally speaking, as long as enough people die in that world and the karmic retribution returns to the standard of the multiverse, the remaining powerful beings still have a chance to win.

As for the likes of the Aragami, if they cannot wipe out that world in one fell swoop before then, they will inevitably suffer great misfortune afterwards. After all, the multiverse does not have a true will; it merely imposes punishments according to established rules, and it does not necessarily require a particular world to die.

The world itself will always give its own gods endless blessings.

The most typical example is Toril!

They've suffered the most calamities from the Arakan Gods over there; each time, the planet seems to be on the verge of collapse, and the sun has even been swallowed up.

But being strong is good, there's no problem at all.

Aside from a giant dinosaur that immediately knelt down, none of the Aragami survived.

If Zeus had known that this would be the end result of his momentary glory, he certainly wouldn't have done it.

Even if he were to live a wretched and pathetic life, he would not choose a swift and glorious death in Jerusalem.

As for Poseidon... after enjoying his time, he either went into exile in the celestial realm or, like Zeus, fell into a deep slumber.

Thinking of this, Armies felt a chill run down his spine.

Tsk~ He must honestly adhere to his principles and never cause trouble.

After carefully reading the contract and confirming that he only needed to follow Travis's lead, Armis sighed with relief.

As long as he can survive long enough, the world will smile at him.

Seeing the Countess's eyes glued to the contract documents, Armies immediately smiled and handed them to her.

The Countess waved her hand frantically across her chest: "No, no, I'm just a little curious. You should keep it safe!"

"Armes!"

“Don’t worry about that, Mom.” Armies smiled and handed it forward again. “This is a law contract; the document itself isn’t that important.”

Whenever needed, the laws will provide a projection, which can be copied again using magic.

Just like the royal covenant of yesteryear.

This is all guaranteed by the law.

"Take it. It looks fine no matter how you look at it. Even an intermediate-level scholar could copy it."

Of course, those who are not involved cannot remove this contract from the rules.

The Countess then took the contract and began to read it carefully.

Bowen leaned closer for a couple of glances and cautiously asked, "So, your importance and Travis's importance are comparable to the King's Pact?"

Armies couldn't help but laugh: "Of course! We are both predetermined gods, and there is almost no possibility of failure."

Of course, it's mainly Travis.

As for me... I do have a backup plan. Unless I court disaster, the world's will won't be too demanding of me.

Therefore, we should leave everything to Travis, the darling of the world's will.

Haha~
Travis's life has been too smooth sailing.

If he didn't need something from him, Armies would never have dealt with such a guy.

It's annoying to look at.

What? Suddenly realizing that your past pursuits weren't quite right... Is it really that easy to change direction on short notice?

Go ask other gods in similar worlds, who hasn't been wrecked and battered by the path before turning around, only to find a glimmer of hope after teetering on the brink of collapse?

As it turned out, Travis suddenly understood just by watching others struggle.

What else could this be but the chosen one!
It's not a temporary one.

It hasn't expired yet, but will it expire after becoming a god?

Almes learned something from Travis: while the world was indeed very fair, he was also extremely protective of his own son and daughter.

Of course, he wasn't without a condition: his children couldn't easily break his rules.

However, it was still relatively lenient. As long as people didn't go too far or make any fundamental mistakes, he wouldn't necessarily turn a blind eye.

For example, the Night Goddess's reckless actions and the Storm Lord's unbridled behavior.

Including the Lord of the Earth, they were noticeably more relaxed in their actions, unlike the other gods who carefully sought out the limits of the rules.

Travis is probably one of the humans he favored.

Even if one eventually achieves godhood through the path of faith, one must find a law that is closest to that of a born deity, one that has pitfalls—that is, one cannot choose.

Huh~
Thinking about all this, Almes felt a mix of emotions.

In the Greek world, it seems he doesn't love anyone... No, perhaps his greatest love is Uranus.

Otherwise, Aphrodite wouldn't have existed.

"Wait! Where is His Majesty Travis?" Ezra, who was bored out of his mind, suddenly noticed something was wrong. "He... he just left like that?"

Armies glanced back.

His Majesty the King, who should have been sitting high up watching over them, disappeared without a trace.

He glanced at Bowen: "Uncle Bowen, what's in the castle... Oh~ Katarina, right?"

The Countess waved her hand gently, and the door to the outer waiting room opened directly... Valera and Katharina, who were resting there, were nowhere to be seen.

"Katarina's talent is truly terrifying." Armies stared for a few seconds. "No wonder she can traverse the noisy sky tunnel so easily."
