Chapter 328: Standing Between the Goddess of Night and the Goddess of Silver Moon

The Goddess of Night was tied to the wall in an extremely humiliating position as the chains painfully dug into her skin. Her inky jade skin was bloodied and bruised, but Shae cared more about Louie’s words than the pain.

Her gaze flickered after Louie’s words fell. She instantly knew that she had fallen into Louie’s trap. She watched spitefully as Louie walked over to her and raised a glass of wine to her lips.

This dragon was not as reckless as he appeared to be. He would proudly refuse whether it was an invitation or a threat. In fact, he was quite sinister and cunning. The reason he humiliated her was just to take absolute advantage in the negotiations.

Anger? Shae was certainly angry. As one of the oldest goddesses, when had she ever suffered such humiliation? Even if Louie turned his words around and thought of cooperating with her, she would never forget this moment.

But for the gods, having revenge was never urgent. Shae knew that the most important thing at the moment was to return to her throne and not to fight Louie.

She looked at herself and came to terms that she was not as strong as before. She had to lower her posture so that she would not make any more mistakes. Only by putting herself in the right position could she get what she wanted.

With these thoughts, Shae’s deep and quiet eyes gazed at Louie. The corners of her mouth revealed a demonic smile as she bit the edge of the wine glass and took a sip of the red wine. She seductively licked her lips, causing the place to once again be filled with a pink atmosphere.

She seemed to be telling Louie that she had forgiven him for his rudeness and blasphemy so that they could continue talking with each other.

Seeing the Goddess have a change of mind, Louie wasn’t really celebrating happily, instead, his heart chilled. This Goddess was absolutely arrogant, but in order to achieve her goals, she could hold back her anger and grievances. It was no wonder that she had defeated countless opponents and reigned at the top of the gods.

Being able to wear a powerful god down like this was not something a normal god could do.

For a moment, Louie hesitated. His own behavior was dancing at the tip of the knife.

If Louie could find the Goddess’ true body, he would not hesitate to do this. He would have taken her divinity and a part of her divine authority, paving the path to gaining high-tier divine power in one fell swoop.

But let alone Louie, even the gods wanted to find Shae’s true body, but no one could find it.

The difficulty of this path was not low. Since it was impossible to kill Shae’s incarnation without leaving any hidden problems, then it was a good idea to join forces with her.

As a new god, Louie was not angry at Shae for her betrayal unlike many of the other gods. Although the risks were great, the benefits were commensurate. Compared to the Silver Moon Goddess, Shae grasped many more secrets of the world and she was powerful. Louie’s assistance to the Silver Moon Goddess was like icing on a cake, but Louie’s assistance towards Shae was like charcoal in the snow. Their interests were also more aligned.

‘But in this relationship, I must hold the upper hand. If I can’t dominate her, then it’s better to not form a contract. I would look too incompetent if I fall for her schemes.’

‘And if Shae really exposed my relationship with the Terrans, it would be detrimental to my plans. Before I reach my full power and remove the problems within my body, I cannot become a target of the other gods. So her threat is barely effective on me.’

‘As for Her Highness Selune…’

Louie slightly hesitated. He carefully recalled parts of his covenant with her. There was no requirement that restricted his dealing with Shae, so even if he accepted it, it wasn’t considered a betrayal.

With how patient Shae was, if Louie asked her not to plot against and attack the Silver Moon Goddess for 3000 years, then she would surely agree. For Shae, the most important thing now was to recover her divine power to mid-tier.

That’s right, as long as Shae’s divine power had reached mid-tier, then the threat from other gods would be greatly reduced. Mid-tier divine power was the dividing line of the gods. Gods below the mid-tier had a heavy risk of falling or even being killed by stronger gods, but as long as they did so, then their safety was more assured and they did not have to worry as much about falling.

Louie was now in between two ancient goddesses. He could use their wisdom and power to his own advantage. As for the three-thousand-year expiration of the River Styx Oath, Louie felt that he could become a high-tier god at that time. Once he mastered the power of order, then his options would increase.

‘Three thousand years later, I would be between the two goddesses and remain neutral. As long as one side gains superiority, then I will help the one who’s inferior to maintain the balance between the both of them.’

Louie felt that he was really a wallflower to take advantage of the two goddesses’ vulnerability. He would take all the benefits from them without giving anything in return.

‘Aren’t I simply a scumbag!’

It suddenly dawned on him that his behavior was one of a scumbag.

The dragon and the goddess did not speak for a long time. They each turned their heads thinking about the next best action in order to gain more benefits.

They had to both be cautious. Louie did not trust Shae, and Shae did not trust Louie. Both could be said to be asking a tiger for its skin. The slightest carelessness may mean that they would be eaten by the other party, especially Shae who was in a more dangerous position.

‘I cannot let this opportunity go. To have the Goddess of Night begging is too good a chance. In the next million years, we may never meet again, so I must squeeze her dry!’

Louie thought so.

‘This lustful and greedy dragon has all the flaws of a dragon, but he is more sinister and cunning. If possible, he is not my best choice, but other than this dragon, I cannot find any other gods that I can make use of. For the time being, I should just hibernate and endure, and find a way to squeeze all the value I can from him.’

Shae’s tranquil eyes shined as countless ideas emerged in her mind and were rejected by her.

This goddess and this dragon were both calculating against each other, but ready to hug each other for warmth.

“Your Highness Shae, I know what your goal is. You want to restore your divine throne while under the siege of the gods, is it not?”

Louie narrowed his pupils and slowly asked.

Shae confirmed with a nod. This was indeed her goal and there was nothing to hide. As long as she could restore her throne, then she could solve the rest of the matters on her own. She would not need Louie’s help anymore as she would possess the ability and strength to stand alone.

“Okay, if this is your goal, then as long as you take a River Styx Oath that you would become my subordinate god for 3000 years and recognize me as your master, then I will help you reach your goal!”

Louie declared his request.
