Chapter 30: Plotting against a God

Translator: Sigma Editor: – –

Sitting in a safe place to watch that despicable small-minded bastard hopping up and down in planning a scheme was indeed a novel experience .

But no matter Gerrard or Palin, they were not suited to be good audiences .

Gerrard quickly got tired . To this giant figure, bending his body to sit in this cave was really uncomfortable . Soon after sitting on the ground, he started to feel sleepy .

While Palin was more interested in observation, his face gradually became pale . The vitality in his body was weakened as well . His appearance right now looked like the appearance of a person who had been sick for a very long time and didn’t have much time left .

“Having no spirit is really troublesome!” Sui Xiong muttered secretly and poured out his dark power to supplement vitality .

Time slowly passed by . The screen showed every move of Rennes . All the things that he thought was secretive were all clearly seen by Palin .

The reason why this president of the Pyroxene town’s Thieves Guild had disguised as a down-and-out old thief was all just to plot against Gerrard . On the contrary, it wasn’t because he wanted to seize the God will’s holy item, since he just simply wanted to please his religious God .

He didn’t worship the Thief God but the God of Conspiracy . The God of Conspiracy was keen on encouraging his believers to widely use conspiracies and all kinds of schemes to achieve their goals . This God looked down on pure violences and despised proper exchanges . Only crafty plots and machinations could make this God happy .

Rennes was the president of the Thieves Guild . Even though he just only ruled the Thieves Guild of the Pyroxene town, which was indeed too small and insignificant as compared to this entire world, he was still considered to have status and power, which were built by several decades of his efforts, by his exhausted strength and intelligence, and by countless conspiracies and bloodshed .

In his life, the number of times he had used conspiracies was more than the number of times that he bled . Therefore, he liked using conspiracies . This made him become a loyal believer of the God of Conspiracy . He had even profaned the glory of the Thief God many times .

All these things were paid off . He had not only once gotten the recognition from such a God but he also got the higher position and stronger power than his vice president .

But all of these were not significantly meaningful to him .

A few days ago, one time when he used this scheme, after killing a gang that had betrayed the Thieves Guild, while Rennes was celebrating, he could see an old man from the reflection in his wine cup .

Right at that moment, he suddenly figured out that his life was going to end soon .

When he had realized that all of his power, status, wealth . . . everything was all in vain . His mind was fully occupied by only one thought .

He wanted to go the God Kingdom of the God of the Conspiracy and absolutely not to the Underworld!

To him, going to the underworld was not any different than going to hell . Many people were facing up to the sky with a smile, waiting for this group of villains to be tortured by a bunch of devils and ghosts in numerous times, not two or three times . This bunch of devils and ghosts, on the contrary, would surely give him a hard time . If his spirit could endure after the torture, then he would be completely crushed into pieces and thrown into the dark river . After that, together with other spirit specks, he could build his spirit again, and reincarnate . . . .

But he absolutely couldn’t have such a result!

Therefore, he hurriedly prayed to the God of Conspiracy to let him die under the identity of the God Kingdom . Still, the God of Conspiracy hadn’t accepted his prayer yet . It made him think about doing something to earn favor and to get the God Kingdom’s identity .

After careful consideration, Rennes decided to use a conspiracy to kill the giant who had that holy item . He believed that this would be enough to please the God of Conspiracy . For this reason, he used one of his precious relationships to fake his profile in the Adventure Union in the Gold Rush Town and arranged other people to act the adventurer play with him as well .

His plan was extremely thorough . In the process of cheating to gain trust, he didn’t meet a single relevant person to have to lie to them .

In fact, he used to be an adventurer; about twenty years ago, he had retired . He also did have a gambling son—–his son had really lost at the casino and was being held captive there . He even arranged someone to wait for him in that place to get the money to ransom his son out . He really didn’t have that much money———–hence he had transferred his money to someone else to bring to that place .

All of these were set up to deceive a God who could detect lies .

In the end, he had succeeded .

After he had gained his trust, the next thing was simple . It was nothing more than playing tricks in the treasure cave . When he was still an adventurer, he had done such a thing more than once, so it was very easy for him .

And the plan even progressed more smoothly than he had expected . He used the transmission magic array to get in and out of the Ruhr’s treasure cave . He didn’t know how on earth this Orc bandit could find this place—–it was perhaps a legacy of some great shaman . . . .

Thanks to this cave and his Impassable Cloud Spell, he had successfully set up a murdering trap . To guarantee the effect, after using the transmission magic array to leave, he still went back to the cave to destroy the transmission array .

Even if that giant could fight against the scary poisonous gas of the Impassable Cloud Spell, without a transmission magic array, he would have no way to leave this place but stay here and starve to death .

Rennes’ plan was perfect like that . From the planning till the execution, there was not the slightest flaw .

Hence, when he went through the night to come back to the Pyroxene town, his mood was really delighted . He could even feel that the God Kingdom of the God of Conspiracy had already opened for him . The gloomy and secret world, the world without days, the world that only had plotting and fighting believers, the world that allowed him to see any kinds of plots from every planet, the world where he was like a fish back in water . . . . was in front of him .

Therefore, he didn’t have time to send back the money to get his son out . He hurried to his secret praying room to start praying to his religious God .

His secret room was not big, was a very confined and small room . All the four walls were in black . There was only one exit through the roof . The roof was carved by countless shiny debris which looked like a constellation . In the middle of the constellation, there was a crimson moon, and that was the holy emblem of the God of Conspiracy .

There were four ash-green candles at the four corners of the secret room . Rennes ignited them, one by one . The ash-green smoke quickly spread throughout the room, creating an exotic fragrance . The smoke slightly fluttered in the wind and flowed to the crescent moon in the top, forming into a whirlwind shape .

Rennes was kneeling inside the whirlwind, facing the altar which was made from the skulls of the former presidents of the Thieves Guild, and with joyful face, he started to pray .

“The Lord of Darkness, the monarch of the night moon, the master of cheating and betraying, the ruler of the rise and fall . . . Your humble servant is here to pray to you . This servant has accomplished your assigned mission, tricking the enemies, and leading them to the land of the dead . May this little sacrifice make you happy . May I be able to get into your kingdom when I die, to continue serving you . . . ”

As he prayed, the white skull altar lit up an eccentric dark light . This light was dreary and dense . It was like mucus spreading all over the secret room . After a while, the entire secret room was soaked in a black fluid .

Inside this messy dark light, Rennes’s praying sound seemed downcast and ambiguous . It was mixed with the echoed sounds from the wall, creating a disturbing rhythm .

From the eye of the spirit, Sui Xiong could see a streak of dark light suddenly descending from the sky and slowly heading toward the secret room .

Having been waiting for so long in the sky, he coldly smiled when seeing this . His giant body completely expanded and changed into a night full of stars . Even the sharpest mortal person on the ground could not get a clue about his existence . Tentacles intertwined with each other into a formation, covering the entire Pyroxene town . Even the smallest fly couldn’t escape from this formation .

But time and time again, this formation continued having cracks, allowing the black light pillars to continue to descend . The giant tentacles wrapped the black light pillar and prepared to attack anytime .

“Are you the God of Conspiracy? Your believer has dared to trick me and harm me . You have to pay this debt!”

A giant jellyfish swung its tentacles, headed toward the dark light and smiled coldly . It was like a hunter silently waiting to attack the prey .

In the secret room, Rennes had been sincerely praying for a while . He didn’t know why but the God of Conspiracy hadn’t replied to his prayer yet .

He was still praying but his heart had already been flooded with fear .

It was the God instinct to reply to their believers . If the God didn’t reply to their prayer, it would definitely mean that the religion connection of that believer was cut off . The reason for this might be because the religion connection was interrupted, or it could also be because the God had fallen into a decline, or it could be the most common reason—-that this believer was abandoned by his God!

Has the God of Conspiracy perhaps abandoned me?

How can that happen! I has just used conspiracy to trick a God! Isn’t it a circulating doctrine act? Why can’t I please the God? On the contrary, am I abandoned by his God?!

Inside the secret room, the president of the Pyroxene’s Thieves Guild fell into a panic .

He was nervous . He was frantic . Countless thoughts like flies flew wildly inside his head . Numerous terrible imaginations appeared . He felt like his life was doomed, or he could fall into hell in any minute, or he was being examined by a cruel magistrate to put a burning fork through him . . .

However, he had misunderstood the God of Conspiracy .

In fact, his action had won the God of Conspiracy’s heart . This God was thinking of sending the messenger down there to pick him up to the God Kingdom .

Nonetheless, no matter if the religious connection of the God of Conspiracy was good, or the messenger that he had sent was good, both of them were blocked .

From the Pyroxene town’s ground to two or three meters to the sky, the giant jellyfish used its body as an enormous magic array to completely cut the connection between the God of Conspiracy and his loyal believer .

On top of that, the powerful tentacles cruelly wrapped around a bizarre creature with four faces and six arms—–that was the God of Conspiracy’s messenger, who was known as the “Four-face monster”, a bizarre living creature .

The “Four-face monster” was an extremely strong creature . The dark wind around it was the power of the hallucination . If a mortal person saw it, one would fall into a hallucination . The God of Conspiracy was good at making commands . Every time he showed up in the mortal world, good people would panic, while evil and cruel villains would cheer up excitedly .

But this time, the cycle of the God of Conspiracy’s order to the mortal world was blocked from four sides . An illusionary giant jellyfish whose dark power he couldn’t see used its tentacles to wrap around his body and constantly displayed magics on him like it wanted to eat him alive .

“Come out and be prepared, I will eat you, God!”
