Chapter 786: Alliance
Although he had successfully grasped a portion of the Demon World Lord's power and ascended to become a god, Kaqinuo did not become arrogant; after all, in his memory, there were still quite a few existences on this Continent that could force him to return in defeat.
Among these existences, the Spirit race was definitely the greatest threat to him. Not to mention the restraining effect of Natural Power on Demon Qi, the God-Slaying Weapons left behind by the Lingyun Mercenary Group in the Elf Kingdom alone could inflict massive damage upon him now.
First was the Magic Guidance Fleet in the Elf Kingdom; all the Magic Guidance Warships combined together formed a powerful God-Slaying Weapon. Back then, at least more than five Demon Gods had fallen under the Destruction Aurora of the Magic Guidance Fleet. If the Elf Array shrouding the Elf Kingdom were fully deployed, that would also be a terrifying thing, and the number of Demon Gods who had died within the Elf Array was not small either.
Most terrifying of all was that when the Spirit Goddess, who wielded the Elf Holy Bow, combined with the Magic Guidance Fleet and the Elf Array to form the Elf Triangle, her strength could be vastly enhanced. In the past, the Demon World Lord in his prime had attacked the Elf Kingdom alone, only to be rebuffed by these three and forced to retreat in a sorry state.
According to the intelligence he had obtained, the Spirit Goddess had not yet fully awakened and could not yet activate the trinity of the Elf Triangle. If he waited until the Spirit Goddess had fully awakened before going, it would be no different from seeking his own death. The best choice now was to strike and crush her completely while she had not yet awakened!
"However, the Elf Kingdom is no pushover. Their High Priest Andiya might still be able to borrow the power of the Spirit Goddess. Under these circumstances, if it were just me alone, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough!" Kaqinuo muttered in his heart. "Perhaps I should find some allies, allies with sufficient weight."
Just as Kaqinuo was pondering how to find allies of sufficient weight, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Right, how could I have forgotten him? He and the Elf Kingdom also share a deep grudge! And if I am not mistaken, he should be hiding in some corner of this Continent right now!"
Not knowing who he had thought of, Kaqinuo's eyes suddenly brightened, and his figure shot off toward the distance.
Watching the demon clouds in the sky gradually recede, Aiweier could not help but frown slightly: "The Demon Qi has disappeared. I wonder when this guy will come?"
"The Elf Array has been fully activated; it is impossible for the opponent to sneak in quietly." Lingyun moved his hands, and streaks of emerald light shot out from his hands, disappearing into the horizon. "Now there is only one method the opponent can choose, and that is a frontal assault!"
"Based on the personality of Kaqinuo we learned about in the biographies, I don't think that guy will come charging over single-handedly; he will definitely come only after he has his own trump cards!" Andiya said.
"But, given Kaqinuo's arrogance, it is not an easy thing to become his ally." Mengniya flipped through the biography in her hand and spoke.
"No, there is one person who can!" Lingyun suddenly said.
"Who?"
"The Beast God!"
"The Beast God?" Hearing Lingyun say this, everyone present could not help but frown.
The Beast God, the protector of the Orc Empire, held a status basically equivalent to that of the Spirit Goddess within the Spirit race, and his strength was also ranked among the gods. Most importantly, there was no small amount of friction and resentment between the Beast God and the Spirit Goddess. Under these circumstances, perhaps the Beast God really would join forces with the other party to attack the Elf Kingdom.
"Hmph, he's just a Beast God, yet he dares to covet Her Highness the Goddess; it is truly unforgivable!" Andiya snorted coldly, the Natural Power on her body boiling incessantly.
"Andiya, don't forget, you are the Spirit Goddess now!" Aiweier said with a light laugh. "So, the Beast God's target now is you!"
"Uh, this..." Hearing Aiweier say this, Andiya's expression could not help but change slightly. "No, it is even more impossible for me and the Beast God. If he covets me, I will definitely let him know what terror is!"
Watching Andiya's appearance, Lingyun could not help but laugh out loud: "Rest assured, with our current strength, even if Kaqinuo and the Beast God attack together, they will have to pay a heavy price!" Lingyun waved his hand and said.
"I just don't know if the Orc Empire will declare war on our Elf Empire because of the appearance of the Beast God." Mengniya said with a frown. "After all, the Beast God's status within the Orc Empire is very high!"
"They wouldn't dare. After all, the Demon World Lord is a public enemy of the Continent. Even if the Beast God wants to attack the Elf Kingdom, he would have to hide his identity; otherwise, he would become an enemy of all the gods!" Aiweier knew that the Beast God had also participated in the Hundred Races Covenant back then.
Back then, the Beast God ambushed the Spirit Goddess, wanting to severely wound her and seize her Natural Power. But in the end, Aiweier was more skilled; despite being ambushed, she directly wounded the Beast God with one arrow. The severely wounded Beast God fled in a sorry state and eventually lost his trail.
Just as Lingyun was discussing the Beast God, in a huge tomb within the Orc Empire, the Beast God and a black shadow stood facing each other.
"Demon World Lord, you actually aren't dead yet?" The Beast God looked at the black shadow wreathed in Demon Qi before him and could not help but let out a roar.
"I am the Demon World Lord, but I am a brand-new Demon World Lord; you can call me Kaqinuo!" A low voice came from Kaqinuo's mouth.
"Kaqinuo? That ignorant little thing who once overestimated himself and went to challenge the Demon World Lord?" The Beast God still had some impression of this name.
"You..." Hearing the Beast God say this, a trace of anger could not help but appear in Kaqinuo's eyes, and a terrifying pressure instantly pressed down upon the Beast God.
"Cough, cough—" Suppressed by the Demon Qi, the Beast God's expression changed slightly; he was already suffering from unhealed wounds, and now he was wounded on top of wounds. "I didn't expect you to have actually seized the body of the Demon World Lord. I suppose the person who stole the corpse of the Demon World Lord back then was you! What is your purpose in coming to find me now?"
"Purpose, of course I have one! I wonder if Your Excellency the Beast God still remembers the Spirit Goddess!" A trace of an eerie smile appeared on Kaqinuo's face.
"The Spirit Goddess, that bitch!" Hearing Kaqinuo mention Aiweier, the Beast God could not help but be furious; the wound on his chest was a constant reminder of the trauma Aiweier had left him.
"Good, very good, then we have a common enemy now!"
"You want to make a move against the Spirit race?"
"That's right, the Spirit Goddess is your enemy, and she is also my enemy; this is the opportunity for us to join forces!" Kaqinuo said.
"What good does this do for me? Don't forget the Hundred Races Covenant. If I join forces with you, I will inevitably become an enemy of the gods! Moreover, you now are far from being comparable to the original Demon World Lord. Facing the Spirit Goddess, who has many trump cards, we two joining forces have no chance of winning!"
"I have a way to conceal your identity! At the same time, for some reason, the Spirit Goddess has fallen into a deep slumber and has not yet fully awakened; this is our only chance!" Kaqinuo tempted. "I know that when you attacked the Spirit Goddess back then, you must have had your own agenda. As long as we succeed this time, no matter what you want to obtain from the Spirit Goddess, I will not interfere. As long as we eradicate the Spirit race, we will inevitably be able to unify the Continent, and then we two shall split this Continent in half, how about that?"
"I don't deny that your idea is very tempting, but I am currently severely wounded, with less than one-tenth of my strength remaining. At the same time, if the gods descend again, can you withstand them?" The Beast God said in a deep voice.
"The wounds caused by the Spirit Goddess can be resolved by my Demon Qi. As for the gods, since they have already gone to the God Realm, they should never return! I will completely destroy the passage between the Continent and the God Realm. As long as the passage disappears, this Continent will be our world! Also, I have already found the passage between the two worlds!"
Hearing Kaqinuo's reply, the Beast God was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was pondering. Finally, his eyes flashed with light, and he reached out his hand toward Kaqinuo.
Watching the Beast God extend his hand, a triumphant smile appeared on Kaqinuo's face: "Happy cooperation!"
