Chapter 823: Regarding the sudden death of the new book and the new new book

Regarding the sudden death of the new book and the new new book

"Yes, that's right, everything he said is true."

After glaring at the innocent-looking William, the Lady of Night, who had been summoned to the Pantheon of All Gods while on her way to the Boundless Star Realm and had to rush over, could only helplessly say:

"This... um... God of Thieves is indeed under my protection. As for the tables and chairs he stole, I will have him..."

"Ahem, about the chairs, I will come to your place to retrieve them later."

Having anticipated that the Lady of Night would make him return the chairs, William interrupted her first, indicating that it wasn't that he didn't want to return them, but that they weren't in his hands, successfully delaying the matter of returning the chairs for now.

Returning the chairs is impossible; it will never be possible in this lifetime. After all, I am not the real God of Thieves, but the God-Blasphemer whom you gods of the Arcane Continent are so desperate to eliminate.

Given this hostile relationship, it's an act of mercy that I haven't robbed you until you're penniless; you still want me to return your things? Don't have such beautiful dreams as gods, okay?

This bastard... my reputation has been completely ruined by him!

Seeing at a glance that William had no intention of returning the items at all, the Lady of Night, who was forced to vouch for him, couldn't help but grit her teeth, beginning to doubt whether the decision she made back then was correct.

If she could eliminate the final obstacle to ascending to the fourteenth rank at the cost of only twenty divine artifacts, then this deal was more than worth it; one could even say it was a massive profit.

But after reaching the agreement, in a sense, she seemed to be tied to this troublesome guy. To avoid affecting her ascension to the fourteenth rank, she had to bite the bullet and stand up as a guarantor whenever this troublemaker caused issues, sacrificing her own reputation to clean up his mess...

Looking at the gods of the Arcane Continent around her who, despite their anger, had to let William go for the time being out of respect for her, the Lady of Night had to rub her temples in a headache.

Sigh... it seems she won't be able to come to the Pantheon of All Gods for a while.

But anyway, since she neither develops a church nor needs Faith Power, she didn't care about the affairs on the Arcane Continent to begin with. If she can't come, then she won't come; it's just a little embarrassing... Hmm?

Watching William approach with a face full of smiles and an eager expression, the Lady of Night felt a sudden jolt in her heart and instinctively took a small step back.

When this bastard spoke to her before, wasn't every sentence sharp and every word threatening? Why has he suddenly become so enthusiastic? He even looks a bit... like a lackey?

……

"Isn't this all thanks to your 'protection'~"

Seeing through the Lady of Night's thoughts, William, under the dissatisfied gazes of the gods of the Arcane Continent, walked quickly toward the Lady of Night with his back slightly hunched, firmly shielding her in front of him, and then whispered with a chuckle:

"In public, as your subordinate, my attitude must be proper. What if I were still as disrespectful as before and someone discovered something was wrong?"

Caught off guard and having her ear sprayed by the hot air from William's nose and mouth, the Lady of Night, whose neck felt itchy, instinctively shrank her neck, rubbed her collar hard, then turned her head to dodge a little, and glared at William:

"Don't lean over either, stay away from me. I'm not used to having someone this close!"

"I am nominally your subordinate god now, so if I don't stand behind you, where should I stand? Besides, isn't this far enough? How else are we supposed to talk if I go any further?"

"Why can't we talk? Can't you use spiritual power to communicate?"

"I can, but..."

After looking at the Lady of Night's slightly reddened neck, William tactfully stepped back a little, then helplessly spread his hands and said:

"The difference between an ordinary person's spiritual power and a True God's is too great. It's fine if I use spiritual power to communicate occasionally, but if I use it all the time, it will definitely be discovered by those with ulterior motives."

Those with ulterior motives...

After hearing William's words, the Lady of Night couldn't help but frown, then glanced in the direction of the scumbag Sea God.

Indeed, although the Sea God was discussing matters with several twelfth-rank True Gods, his attention seemed to have never left this side, and he was still observing her and William intentionally or unintentionally.

If he really discovered the anomaly, the God of Thieves' lie might be exposed, and William's identity as a God-Blasphemer would be revealed.

Tsk... what a pain. If only there were somewhere other than the Shadow Plane to store the cut-off night...

After glaring at William unhappily, the Lady of Night stopped talking, temporarily tacitly allowing him to stand behind her as a subordinate god, and turned to listen to the discussion between the scumbag Sea God and the God of Enlightenment.

A moment later, after understanding what they were planning to do, she couldn't help but frown slightly, glanced sideways at William, and said with a strange expression:

"As a God-Blasphemer, you not only snuck into the Pantheon of All Gods but are even attending the assembly specifically convened to deal with you. This is really..."

"Quite ironic, isn't it?"

After casually adding this, William stood behind the Lady of Night, listening to the gods of the Arcane Continent discuss how to deal with him, while happily whispering:

"Two assemblies ago, the time when the God of Shadows stood up and claimed he had a way to deal with me, I was actually here too, sitting behind the Earth Mother."

"……"

In other words, when that idiot was up there swearing that he would definitely capture you and proudly stating his plan, you, the 'target of the plan,' heard every word clearly, right?

Hearing William's words and thinking of that rather comical scene, the Lady of Night, who had been in a bad mood, suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh, and she couldn't help but clench her lips tightly under her veil.

After glancing at the Lady of Night, who was struggling to hold back her laughter, William continued pointedly:

"I actually wanted to come to the last assembly too, but at that time, I was busy absorbing the core of the Shadow Plane and couldn't stop, so I had to miss it...

But just now, hearing the Storm God and the others, it seems that a God of Shadows also attended the assembly and took away the reward for eliminating the God-Blasphemer on his behalf, causing me to lose more than a hundred divine artifacts and materials of the same level... Who do you think this person is?"

"Yeah, I'm also curious, who exactly is this person~"

After casting a sidelong glance at William with her beautiful eyes, the Lady of Night first gave a triumphant, soft laugh, then said with a suppressed smile:

"Although I don't know who that person is, I guess she only cares about ascending to the fourteenth rank right now and doesn't value these ordinary divine artifacts; it wouldn't matter even if she gave them all away.

And if someone could cause her less trouble, help her properly store the cut-off night, be more respectful in their attitude, and make her happier, maybe that person would return everything to you~"

"I see. I think your guess is very reasonable. Well, they've reached a conclusion over there, wait a moment."

William raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, nodded in agreement, and then, to the shock of the Lady of Night, raised his arm and proposed with a serious expression:

"Lord Sea God! As the God of Thieves, I am confident that I can sneak into the Arcane Continent without being discovered. Leave the task of planting the 'Cute Girl' divine position on the God-Blasphemer to me!"
