Chapter 154

Seeing the topic veer off, Tony Stark let out a sigh of relief.

He then continued to blend in.

Pretend the earlier incident never happened.

I am the Hou Jue: "......"

I am the Hou Jue: "Who said those two Divine Pillars are gone?"

I am the Hou Jue: "Not long ago, when I arrived at Sadingdao, I saw the two Divine Pillars fighting."

After pondering for a moment, I decided to let them fight until both were exhausted, then strike at the final moment."

Reap the benefits of others' strife."

It sounds like a perfectly crafted plan.

Su Xiao Xiao: "...... And then, did you strike?"

I am the Hou Jue: "Not yet."

Those two Divine Pillars have been fighting for three days and three nights."

I'm currently aboard a ship at sea, gazing at Sadingdao, afraid that if I get too close, those two gods will sense my aura and flee."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "......"

Become my son: "......"

This proves that every seemingly perfect plan inevitably contains significant flaws and unpredictability.

Tony Not the Richest: "Is the old man really that overconfident? I feel like if those two Divine Pillars sense your aura, they'll drop their grudges and gang up on you first."

Based on the memory copies of the God Slayers, Tony also gathered some intelligence on the traits of God Slayers and Unsubmissive Gods.

God Slayers are the natural enemies of Unsubmissive Gods.

Unless two Unsubmissive Gods are mortal enemies within their myths.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Unsubmissive Gods always prioritize eliminating the God Slayer before dealing with anything else.

I am the Hou Jue: "Even if they gang up on me, so what? Do you know who I am? I am the Oldest God Slayer."

The strongest among all God Slayers."

Even if two Supreme Divine-level Unsubmissive Gods attack together, I am not afraid."

I will emerge victorious."

Become my son: "Oh ha ha, I do think the old man is indeed powerful."

But if you're talking about the strongest God Slayer... I think the Master of the Luo Hao Sect atop Mount Lushan might have something to say."

Miss Xia Shizi: "So, Hou Jue, how strong do you really think you are? Don't you have any self-awareness? We've all seen the God Slayer memory copies..."

Tony Not the Richest: "Although the Hou Jue has shown great strength,"

I still believe the Master of the Luo Hao Sect is even stronger! I'm blowing my mind for the Master of the Luo Hao Sect."

Seeing so many people berate Marquis Wo Ban, Tony Stark began his performance again.

With so many people together, the old man shouldn't use this as an excuse to bother me anymore—this is a rare opportunity."

I am the Hou Jue: "......"

I am the Hou Jue: "In two days, after I kill these two Divine Pillars, I will head to China to duel Luo Hao."

I am the Hou Jue: "I'll livestream it! I'll show you all what true strength really is."

Aizen Soujirou: "Honestly, I think it might be dangerous for you to fight two Unsubmissive Gods alone,"

I am the Hou Jue: "So, what are you trying to say?"

Aizen Soujirou: "I humbly believe I still possess a certain degree of ability."

If the old Hou Jue is willing, perhaps invite me? I won't compete with you for the chance to kill the Unsubmissive Gods—I merely wish to assist you... and, incidentally, study the nature of Unsubmissive Gods."

If the old Hou Jue thinks it acceptable, perhaps you might invite me! I have no intention of competing with you, my lord, for the chance to kill the Unsubmissive God—I merely wish to assist you... and incidentally, study and understand the nature of the Unsubmissive.

Aizen Soujirou: "Yes! I am truly sincere."

I am the Hou Jue: "Very well. If I truly need to invite someone else... I choose to invite the President!"

I am the Hou Jue: "Very well, if indeed someone else must be invited... I choose to invite the President, my lord!"

What just happened? He went from implication to outright declaration.

Yet Marquis Wo Ban's sudden pivot nearly twisted his waist.

I am the Hou Jue: "Su Xiao Xiao."

President, would you be interested in coming to our world? I'll give you one of the two Divine Pillars! I know, given your current strength, you probably don't need the enhancement of a God Slayer... but having an additional God Slayer trait wouldn't hurt."

President, my lord, would you be interested in coming to our world? Two gods will grant you one pillar! Though I know, given the power you've demonstrated so far, you likely have no need for the blessing of a Godslayer... yet having an additional Godslayer nature can only be beneficial.

When did he say he didn't need God Slayer enhancement? He desperately wants God Slayer enhancement! After all, God Slayers have iron bones and boundless magical energy, plus divine authority... the appeal is undeniable.

Even with his current strength, becoming a God Slayer would greatly boost him.

Wait... Su Han's eyebrows suddenly twitched.

The key issue isn't this—Su Xiao Xiao: "Although I personally very much want to go to the God Slayer world,"

Su Xiao Xiao: "But... Old Hou Jue, have you been possessed? A man like you, obsessed with gods, would actually give one away to someone else?"

Su Xiao Xiao: "But... Old Hou Jue, have you been possessed by someone? A man like you, who worships gods above all else, would actually give up a god to share with others?"

Marquis Wo Ban is notoriously stingy—who dares to take his god, he'll fight to the death. To give away a god he's already claimed? There's a conspiracy—absolutely a conspiracy.

With Marquis Wo Ban's stingy, ruthless nature—anyone who dares to compete with him for a god would find him willing to fight to the death—him giving up a god he's already seized? There's a conspiracy here, absolutely.

I am the Hou Jue: "......"

Marquis Wo Ban also felt a toothache.

Where's the basic trust between guild members? Why are you speaking to me like this? Do I have no credibility at all? Tony Not the Richest: "Now that you think about it, the old man really does seem suspicious."

Where is the basic trust between members of the Haodegong Society? Why are you speaking to me like this, Master? Does Marquis Wo Ban have no credibility at all? Tony Isn't the Richest Man: "Now that I think about it, the old man really does seem suspicious."

Miss Xia Shizi: "Thinking about it this way... I remain cautious on this matter."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "It's up to the President's own judgment! It feels strange, but I don't think Marquis Wo Ban wants to trick the President... Come to think of it, I kind of hope Marquis Wo Ban does try to trick the President—then there'd be real drama to watch."

Marquis Wo Ban, seeing this, couldn't help but press his forehead.

How could all these guys be so aggressively pushing against him in the guild... The reason I called Su Han over is because something strange has indeed occurred here... After a moment's thought, Marquis Wo Ban decided that, given how far things had come, it was better to be straightforward.

I am the Hou Jue: "... Then I shall not conceal it anymore..."

I am the Hou Jue: "The reason I insisted the President come to our world is because, not long ago, unusual phenomena appeared in our world."

Become my son: "Oh"

Make the world feel pain: "Hmm..."

One-Way Passage: "Unusual phenomena... Another anomaly?"

Fourth Hokage: "I find this interesting."

Symbol of Peace: "Not another time traveler or transmigrator, I hope."

Aizen Sosuke: "Old man, as I said before, take me with you."

I won't compete with you for the god."

"Moreover, I am a top-tier combatant; no one in this guild should question that."

Tony Isn't the Richest: "Aizen Sosuke."

"You are indeed a top-tier combatant—just no one knows when you might suddenly stab someone in the back."

"Ultimately, you're an unstable element."

"And an extremely unstable one..."

I am the Hou Jue: "..."

I am the Hou Jue: "Anyway... there's no point hiding anymore... Yes, transmigrators have appeared in my world."

A brief silence.

Instantly, everyone who saw this message was stunned.

Although they had suspected it before, suspicion and Marquis Wo Ban's actual admission were entirely different things.

Tony Isn't the Richest: "Wait a minute—the anomaly occurred in Marquis Wo Ban's world? Unbelievable... or rather, utterly shocking."

Miss Xia Shizi: "It really is shocking..."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Given the scale of the World of the God-Slayer, for someone to stir up trouble... to even think of causing chaos in that world."

"I don't even need to imagine actual action—I feel just contemplating it requires immense courage."

Countless elders began surfacing from their lurking states.

With the anomaly in the World of the God-Slayer, the elders' spirits trembled—and yet they grew excited.

The reason they were so stirred was because, last time, many guild members had been dispatched on missions to the World of Re: Zero.
