Chapter 1049: Is It Always This Arrogant?

~9 min read 1,668 words

Ang had already discovered North Crown and the Grand Chancellor as they approached. In the pitch-black void, Ang primarily relied on the Scales of Balance to weigh all things; as long as they caused any disturbance to the surrounding environment, Ang could weigh their existence.

Hearing that the Grand Chancellor and North Crown had arrived together, Anthony immediately wore an "as expected" expression. "He wouldn't dare come here without dragging along some help. Lord Nai Ge, according to the plan, it's up to you."

Daring to sell grain so brazenly, Anthony had naturally prepared a response plan long ago. North Crown coming alone was different from coming with a bunch of helpers. In the current situation, it was best to let Nai Ge Li Si handle it.

Nai Ge Li Si didn't know how to act, but Anthony said there was no need to "act"—it should just be its usual self.

Nai Ge Li Si recalled its usual state and confidently greeted them: "Which idiot is calling me! Eh, Grand Chancellor, why are you here?"

Du Luo Ken couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Is it always this arrogant?"

Anthony gave a wry smile: "It's a bit exaggerated, but thinking about it, it's the only one who dares to order the Master around to do this and that. Being this arrogant is only reasonable. I shouldn't have let it perform its true self; I should have told it to be a bit more restrained."

"You know each other?" North Crown, opposite them, was also stunned.

"It's you? Why did you change color? Weren't you yellow before? Why are you here?" the Grand Chancellor asked in surprise. Not long ago, that absurd thought couldn't help but surface in his mind again: Could it really be them?

Having such suspicions was normal. Nai Ge Li Si, following the script, said as a matter of course: "We are spreading faith, so of course we are here. Why did you come over? Did you come to buy grain too?"

"Buy grain? You are selling grain here? Where did you get the grain?" the Grand Chancellor asked, stunned.

"That's right. Didn't you hope we would spread faith? Where there is faith, there is our grace. Famine is the best opportunity to spread faith, and grain is the best grace," Nai Ge Li Si said matter-of-factly.

It was a mess, a total mess. The Grand Chancellor cleared his thoughts and was just about to say something when North Crown interrupted: "Wait a second, wait a second. You are the guy who snatched my Undying Divine Fire? Impossible. Let the guy who snatched my Undying Divine Fire come out."

Nai Ge Li Si put its hands on its hips, looked North Crown up and down, and said disdainfully: "So it was you. You couldn't snatch the Undying Divine Fire from me, so you went back to call your parents?"

"Pfft... Parents?!" The Grand Chancellor and North Crown looked at each other, then mutually distanced themselves in disgust.

North Crown roared in a rage: "Are you blind? Who is a parent? I am a dignified Star-Born Clan member, what qualifications does he have..."

Although North Crown stopped himself in time, there was no need to say the rest to know what he wanted to say. The Grand Chancellor's face darkened, but he said nothing.

North Crown gave an awkward, dry laugh, not daring to look over. Although he did think that way in his heart—he was a dignified Star-Born Clan member, and the Grand Chancellor was merely a servant of the Star-Born Clan; what qualifications did he have to be his parent?

But he could think it in his heart, but it wouldn't be good if it were heard by the other party, especially since he was currently asking for his help.

Nai Ge Li Si asked suspiciously: "Not a parent? Then why are you shouting when you come over? I originally wanted to return the Undying Divine Fire to you for the Grand Chancellor's sake, but since you aren't a parent, then forget it."

"You... that is mine... oh my, you've got me all confused. I mean, I don't believe you are the guy who snatched the Undying Divine Fire from my hands. You don't have that ability. Let the real culprit come out," North Crown raged, almost getting led into a trap. He clearly didn't mean that.

"What proof do you have that I'm not?" Nai Ge Li Si asked with hands on its hips.

"You don't have that kind of strength, hmph." North Crown said this, gave a muffled snort, and whipped out a black chain.

Nai Ge Li Si had long been prepared and shouted loudly: "Everyone, come help! Transform!"

Following its voice, a powerful force projected onto its body, driving the scales on its body to surge—Dragon God Transformation.

The Dragon God transformed by Nai Ge Li Si reached out, grabbed the black chain, and pulled with all its might.

At the same time, the Wind Rabbit, Anthony, Silver Coin, and others who heard its call—anyway, the "deities" the Grand Chancellor had seen—all appeared at the same time, and light bands formed by divine power connected everyone together.

North Crown immediately felt an irresistible giant force coming from the black chain, and in one go, his black chain was snatched away.

Nai Ge Li Si swung the black chain around, wrapped it around its hand in circles, put its hands on its hips, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, your strength isn't much either."

Watching Nai Ge Li Si transform back from Dragon God form to giant dragon form, North Crown was dumbfounded. It could actually transform and borrow strength? Could it be that the one who snatched the Undying Divine Fire from him before was really this guy?

The turn of events was unexpected, making North Crown feel a bit unconfident.

The Grand Chancellor was also somewhat shocked: "You can transform?"

Nai Ge Li Si said matter-of-factly: "Of course. I am a giant dragon, of course I can perform Dragon God Transformation. But it can only last for a few seconds; it's not very practical."

North Crown's heart stirred. It could only last for a few seconds? No wonder when it was competing with him, the strength was enhanced in stages. Could it be that it transformed at that time?

Could it really be it? It only snatched the win from him by relying on transformation and borrowing strength from other deities? If that was the case, it didn't seem like a bad thing...

Thinking of this, North Crown changed his tone and asked sternly: "What about the Undying City? Was the Undying City also you guys?"

"Undying City? What Undying City?" Nai Ge Li Si asked suspiciously.

At the time of the Undying City, Ailafate was far away and couldn't see clearly who had destroyed the World-Ending Strike, so its report to North Crown was vague. By the time it saw clearly who it was, it had already been discovered by Ang.

Using the resolution of the card egg as a temptation, Anthony turned Ailafate against them, causing it to not have time to report to North Crown, so North Crown didn't know who was at the Undying City.

"It wasn't you guys at the Undying City? Then who could it be?" The Grand Chancellor and North Crown looked at each other.

Finally, North Crown had to put forward a new demand: "Return the Undying Divine Fire to me."

Nai Ge Li Si spread its hands: "Ate it."

"You!" North Crown was furious.

"What about me? The Undying Divine Fire burned a million tons of my grain. Are you going to compensate for this grain?" Nai Ge Li Si asked with hands on its hips.

North Crown glared at it viciously, then looked angrily at the Grand Chancellor.

The Grand Chancellor was startled and immediately shook his head: "What do you want to do? I need them to continue spreading faith and occupying the ecological niche. Don't you mess around."

If it weren't for that hurtful remark just now, the Grand Chancellor might have persuaded Nai Ge Li Si to return the Undying Divine Fire. But now, he only wanted to hold North Crown down and tell him not to mess around.

The Undying Divine Fire couldn't be taken back, and with the Grand Chancellor protecting them, North Crown couldn't do anything to Nai Ge Li Si. Plus, he still had to continue looking for the missing magic array, so North Crown had to helplessly leave with the Grand Chancellor.

After seeing them off, Nai Ge Li Si flew back, and Anthony couldn't help but give it a thumbs up: "Your sowing of discord was truly used at the perfect moment. It was too exquisite."

Nai Ge Li Si was stunned: "What sowing of discord?"

"Pfft, you don't really think the Grand Chancellor is North Crown's parent, do you?"

"Isn't he?" Nai Ge Li Si said blankly.

"..." Anthony was speechless.

"Then what should we do now? I performed as you said. Will North Crown fall for it?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

Anthony spread his hands: "That depends on whether North Crown wants revenge. If you discovered that the person who snatched your things had strength derived from a few seconds of transformation, plus a bunch of people helping behind them, and their strength wasn't actually stronger than yours, would you take revenge at this time?"

"Of course I would, beat its dog head to a pulp," Nai Ge Li Si said.

"As long as he dares to ditch the Grand Chancellor and come back alone for revenge, Master, please use the fastest speed to capture him. I need a Star-Born Clan member to force out all the intelligence," Anthony said with gleaming eyes.

Ang nodded and continued to plant things in the water. More than ten days later, Ang suddenly looked toward the void and said in his soul: "He's here, bringing Ailafate." ===== CHAPTER 1050 =====
