Chapter 714: Seventh Hundred and Forty-Eighth Chapter: Don't Wait to Say Something So Important!

"Wait a moment, how do the guys from the Wandering Gods Alliance know our situation? Did you leak our information to them?" Anthony frowned and said, his tone somewhat severe.

Dimari hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, I wouldn't dare. It was Giant-Eared Garitt. It said it heard the Undead Legion shouting 'King', thinking the Undead Lord had emerged. It also heard that we had captured many Ancient Gods but hadn't killed them, so it hoped to receive the Undead Lord's protection. I said nothing; they contacted me, and I came to report immediately."

Anthony looked deeply at Dimari, staring until the latter was at a loss, shrinking backward like a Starfall Academy student caught by Auberry at the Meishencheng Bath Center.

After watching him for a long while, Anthony finally averted his gaze and asked: "What else did Giant-Eared Garitt hear?"

"I... I didn't ask," Dimari said.

"Contact it," Anthony said.

Dimari immediately dashed back to contact the other party, wiping sweat as he ran, muttering to himself: Why is this plane-dweller so fierce when he puts on a stern face?

Lord Nai Ge Li Si hurriedly asked: "Do you really intend to protect these weak Ancient Gods? I'm starting to understand why they're called the Wandering Gods Alliance. They're all like homeless wanderers without masters. Their strength is nothing special, but their consumption is high. Typical gluttons. Look at the ones we caught; besides pulling carts, what use are they?"

"Forget the others, but I'm very interested in this Giant-Eared Garitt. It was the one that heard the Abyssal Maw turning over last time. If its perception ability is truly that powerful, then we'll have an extra pair of eyes and ears in this void, which would be very useful."

"We'll give it a Divine Core then, and arrange a few Ancient Gods to protect it. If it likes to eat, we have Elf Beans and roasted fat worms; we have enough wheat and rice. If it needs anything else, we have that too."

"I wonder if it needs its fur brushed like a big cat? We can arrange some dexterous servants to brush its fur and pick off fleas, or give it bubble baths and sand baths. If it likes to be beautiful, we can arrange for it to get a beauty treatment in Meishencheng. If it likes to play, we can arrange for it to go to the Scare Park or Starfall Academy."

"If it has other requests, it can speak up. Anyway, with a Divine Core, it doesn't need to stay in the Chaos Plane; it can run around..." Anthony chattered on and on.

Lord Nai Ge Li Si understood the first part, but the long speech afterward left it stunned. Only when Anthony gave it a nudge did it suddenly realize, and it added: "Yes, yes, it can make requests. We just don't know if it's as powerful as the legends say. Can it really hear the Abyssal Maw's movements?"

"Yes, if it can't hear, then it's useless. We'll test it then," Anthony said.

Not long after, Dimari ran over, looking bewildered as he said: "It was hesitating at first, but then suddenly and inexplicably agreed. It's preparing to come discuss matters and hopes I'll go meet it, to prevent the Undead Legion from killing it."

Lord Nai Ge Li Si and Anthony exchanged a glance and nodded, saying: "Alright, you go. But can it come? There are so many dangers on the way."

Dimari said: "No need to worry about that. Garitt can avoid all dangers. As long as it doesn't want to be caught, no one can catch it."

After Dimari finished speaking, he flew out of the plane to go meet Garitt, while Lord Nai Ge Li Si and Anthony communicated directly via soul: "You think that Garitt can hear our conversation?"

Anthony said: "It's not that I think so, but I hope it can hear. If it focuses its attention on us and still can't hear our conversation, then its value is greatly diminished."

Lord Nai Ge Li Si's eyes widened: Is that allowed? So all that long speech by Anthony was to test it in advance?

Not long after, Dimari returned. Everyone looked behind him but saw no Ancient God following.

"Where is Giant-Eared Garitt? Didn't you meet it?" Anthony asked.

Dimari gave a sheepish smile, and then a fur ball the size of a watermelon popped out from the hair on his head. It introduced itself: "I'm here. I am Giant-Eared Garitt. I've arrived. You said you'd find someone to brush my fur and pick off fleas, and I can make other requests. I want an item that can filter out various noises."

Anthony's face showed 'shock' and 'disbelief' as he said: "You heard what we just said?"

Two small arms poked out from the fur of the ball, seemingly planted on its hips... if that could be called a waist: "Of course. I am Giant-Eared Garitt. Nothing in the void can escape my ears."

Anthony hesitated and asked: "Then... where are your ears?"

Garitt finally realized, and two huge ears, nearly half the size of its body, popped out from above the fur ball: "I usually keep them closed. The void is too noisy."

The void is too noisy... Everyone looked up at the pitch-black, deathly silent void outside the plane.

"Arranging servants to brush your fur is no problem, and giving you an item to filter noise should be fine too. But why do you need others to brush your fur? Can't you do it yourself?" Anthony asked, puzzled.

Garitt strained to pull its small arms out from the fur, but even with all its strength, only two tiny paws emerged, not even as long as its own fur.

"Alright, I understand. I'll arrange servants to brush your fur," Anthony immediately understood, then asked again:

"Is this your complete form? Just now, Dimari said the Wandering Gods Alliance hopes to receive the Undead Lord's protection. Are you representing the Wandering Gods Alliance now, or just yourself?"

"Of course not my complete form. But even in my complete form, my arms are short. I don't know why my arms are so short while my fur is so long. It's annoying," Garitt said grievously.

"I represent the Wandering Gods Alliance; they hope to receive the Undead Lord's protection. I also represent myself, but I hope to receive your protection. I know you are not the Undead Lord," Garitt said.

Anthony and Lord Nai Ge Li Si exchanged a glance and asked, puzzled: "Since you know we are not the Undead Lord, why do you still hope to receive our protection? Why do you think we have the ability to protect you? Aren't you afraid we'll capture you?"

"I heard it all," Garitt said. "It's very peaceful here. Your conversations with each other are harmonious. Your pets even dare to throw tantrums, steal things, scold people, and curse. You are not vicious people. I hope to receive your protection."

Lord Nai Ge Li Si pointed at the big cat Lightning: "Stealing things, cursing, but those two didn't scold anyone. Which pet scolded someone?"

Garitt pointed at it.

"Let go of me, let go of me! I'll beat this big-eared monster! Daring to call me a pet, I'll beat it to death!" Lord Nai Ge Li Si flew into a rage.

Anthony quickly hugged it and said truthfully: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. You can't beat it."

Don't let Garitt's fluffy appearance fool you; after all, it is an Ancient God, not something a little fat dragon can defeat.

While comforting the little fat dragon, Anthony asked: "Since you heard it all, we are very willing to protect you. But I still don't understand. Your ability should be enough for you to avoid all dangers in this void; you don't need our protection."

Garitt hesitated, looking at Anthony, then at Seeing Ange. Although Seeing Ange said nothing, Garitt obviously knew who was the boss here, and most of its attention was focused on Seeing Ange.

Finally, it gritted its teeth: "I heard the Void Will and the Abyssal Maw talking. They said the void is about to collapse soon."

"Collapsing again? Could this tide coming early be because the void is about to collapse?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si was shocked.

Previously, when the Old Tree received information from the Parent Tree, it mentioned the situation of the void collapsing. Back then, the Ten Thousand Worlds Divine Tree burned itself to temporarily stop the void's collapse. Could it be that the balance barely maintained back then has failed, so the collapse is coming again?

"Did you really hear the Void Will and the Abyssal Maw say this?" Anthony asked again.

Garitt nodded vigorously, its round body almost tipping forward.

If Garitt had just said this, everyone might have doubted it. But its words happened to confirm what the Old Tree said before. Plus, the tide suddenly came early. Whether it's the void collapsing or not, they must prepare.

"Moreover, I also heard that the Abyssal Maw's true form has moved. It is frantically devouring everything and will soon swallow its way here," Garitt said.

Anthony and Lord Nai Ge Li Si exchanged a glance and couldn't help but curse: "Why didn't you say something so important earlier! How far away is it? Why does it want to devour everything?"
