“Hall of Gods, War God Ares has arrived!”
With this announcement, the entire banquet hall fell silent. Everyone who had been sitting stood up involuntarily.
Even the meteorite-level powerful individuals sitting on the high platform could not help but stand up.
Ares, like them, was only at the meteorite-level. However, what he represented was the Hall of Gods, a tier-three power!
A force boasting one comet-level and eleven meteorite-level powerhouses!
Among the four-tier three powers, if the others didn’t have any hidden backing, undoubtedly, the Hall of Gods would be the most powerful force in name and in truth.
Yet, even now, they are an entity that one cannot afford to ignore!
Because, the other three great powers, for the sake of their company or organization’s honor, wouldn’t readily take action, and they tend to treat other forces more rationally.
However, the Hall of Gods is different. They are a power that values honor highly and is extremely proud. Otherwise, they would not proclaim themselves as gods!
As for War God Ares, what his original name was, no one knew. Everyone only knew that he was one of the twelve main gods of the Titan Star System and that his every action represented the Hall of Gods!
“Main God Ares!”
Overlord, at this moment, had lost his former pride and slightly lowered his head as a sign of respect.
Nalan Yanran, who was next to him, even bowed at a forty-five-degree angle, fearing that her attitude was not respectful enough to irritate the War God.
She had grown up listening to the stories of the Hall of Gods. The majesty of the gods was not to be blasphemed.
People inside the banquet hall felt the same. Meteorite-level powerhouses were fine; they only slightly lowered their heads as a sign of respect. Those at the meteorite-level all bowed ninety degrees, their faces almost visible through the gaps in their bodies.
Meteorite-level individuals were like this. So it was unbearable for purple-level warriors, who knelt on the ground, their heads hanging low, their lips kissing the mud, and had not dared to raise their heads.
For the Hall of Gods, meteorite-level equals main god-level, and meteorite-level equals demigod. It was understandable if people of these ranks didn’t kneel!
But those below meteorite-level were all mortals!
Mortals are not allowed to look directly at gods!
Mortals shall not blaspheme against the gods!
Otherwise, they shall face divine punishment!
But people from the Hall of Gods didn’t think so!
They genuinely believed that Zeus was the God King and they were main gods!
Once, a certain secondary power, drunken at a party, uttered nonsense, belittled the Hall of Gods and thought they were hypocritical false gods.
The next day, this secondary power was uprooted. Not only was the meteorite-level leader killed, but even ordinary people did not escape, and none survived.
Most exaggerated was that they called that time, the War of the Gods!
God King Zeus led the team, all twelve main gods went out, and in the end, only a meteorite-level powerhouse equivalent to their main god’s power was destroyed.
Since then, no one in the wastelands dared to speak ill of the Hall of Gods. Even though they knew they were false gods, they dared not speak out.
No one knew whether their words and deeds would offend the ‘gods’ of the Hall of Gods and incur divine punishment?
At the time of the war that destroyed the secondary power, the other three major powers also tried to intervene and mediate between the two sides.
In the end, the Hall of Gods adopted a fish die, or the net breaks stance. All their battleships were out, superweapons activated, giving off the vibe of who stops us, will perish with us.
Ultimately, the three forces didn’t dare to take action, choosing instead to condemn them publicly.
It’s not that they couldn’t win, or they didn’t dare to fight, but rather they thought it was not worth it.
Risking their lives for a secondary force was not worth it.
After all, the leaders of these three major powers were dispatched from other star domains to govern the Waste Star Area. It was not easy to cultivate themselves to the Comet level, so they would not really spare no means even if it meant to risk their lives, because if they died by doing so, it would be pointless!
The indulgence of the three big powers, to some extent, has enhanced the prestige of the Hall of Gods even more.
In the Waste Star Area, there have even circulated the belief that it would be better to offend these three forces than to offend the Hall of Gods.
If one were to offend the three major powers, there might still be a chance at survival, a life that could be bought with money. But if one offended the Hall of Gods, these lunatics would label you as a blasphemer and that would be the end no amount of money could buy your life back!
Ares, the god of war, scanned the entire room for a full three seconds, and seeing that no one was breaking the rules and no one was lacking in respect, he looked towards the two people in front of him and said, “Overlord, my friend, I bless you!”
Only after he began speaking, did everyone in the room dare to lift their heads.
However, the bustling noise in the room disappeared at this moment.
It was evident that everyone was holding themselves back. Some were regretting why they had come here to suffer…
The Overlord, hearing these words from Ares, immediately lifted his head high and said with a smile: “Ares, my friend!”
For him, the opportunity to make the Main God of the Hall of Gods a friend was a great honor!
It was also a chance to demonstrate his strength as the Overlord!
He believed that at this moment, people would have a new understanding of him, the Overlord!
Ares nodded his head, stood directly in the leading place, and walked towards the highest seat in the banquet hall.
However, the hosts, the Overlord and his Queen Nalan Yanran, could only follow him.
Shortly afterwards, as three figures atop the platform began to chat casually, the audience below gradually resumed their conversation, becoming lively again. However, their humor could not return to its previous relaxed state.
It was quite visible that the presence of the Main God from the Hall of Gods was making them uncomfortable.
In a while, another announcement came from the entrance.
“Mr. Pang Ze, the representative of the Cosmic Civilization Protection
Association, is here!”
This time, no one welcomed him or stood up.
The Cosmic Civilization Protection Association wasn’t into those formalities!
Of course, this also has to do with the arrival of a Meteorite-level powerhouse only. If it had been a Meteorite-level powerhouse, they would rise for sure.
Just as the voice fell, two more announcements came from outside.
“Representative Kou Bin of the Purple Orchid Galactic Bank has arrived!” “Representative Yue Zhuang of the Purple Orchid Business Group has arrived!”
After these two announcements, the banquet hall remained as before, no one got up. Only a few old clan leaders, who seemed to have requests towards them, were earnestly watching the new arrivals.
It was easy to see, all the three arrivals were Meteorite-level powers.
The three major powers did not need to curry favor with the local forces, naturally they would not pay too much attention.
The three people, however, seemed to associate quite well, coming in together, talking and laughing.
They came here without any social pretensions, it was basically out of courtesy, coming on behalf of their powers, merely to attend a dinner party.
Halfway through their entrance, the three suddenly noticed a dazzling man dressed in golden splendor on the stage, and paused.
“A person from the Hall of Gods? The Main God?”
The three exchanged glances, their minds a complex mix of emotions, reluctantly making their way towards the stage despite their unwillingness.
After all, they were representing the three major powers.
On the stage, Ares, the God of War, had noticed them, stopped his conversation, and silently looked at them without saying a word.
The people below, already sensitive to the atmosphere, took note of what was happening and also fell silent, all turning their attention to the stage.
Meanwhile, they were wondering if these three would greet Ares, the God of War…. eagerly anticipating a good show.
The three individuals slowly walked up to the high platform, coming to share the stage with the war god. They reached the designated spots for the three of them and stopped there.
Should they bow?
At this moment, they were in a dilemma.
They had heard about the events of the last Divine War, knowing that the Hall of Gods was not to be messed with.
But the issue was, for many years, the Hall of Gods had remained relatively obedient, staying mostly within their territory in the Titan Star System and seldom venturing out.
They also had minimal interaction with the other three dominant forces, so the three of them were somewhat hesitant now.
To bow would be to belittle the company they were representing.
To not bow would mean facing the Main God of the Hall of Gods, without even considering how powerful their backing was, they were presently dealing with a meteorite-level powerhouse.
Facing this Main God, who could kill them easily given their meteorite-level power, no one dared to interfere!
All three of them were different from the three comet-level leaders from the three dominant forces, they were powerful beings who grew up locally and joined the dominant forces later. Their fear and respect for the Hall of Gods were deeply ingrained.
In the end, they reluctantly bowed, lowering their heads slightly, and said,
“War God Ares!”
The three major forces had never taught them the names of the twelve Main Gods.
But they had heard the rumors about the Hall of Gods growing up, and were familiar with the attire of each Main God, so they recognized him at first glance.
When they saw their respectful attitude, Ares, who was originally staring coldly at them, finally revealed a faint smile and slightly nodded his head.
“Phew-”
A sigh, source unknown, eased the tense atmosphere at the scene.
The three who had bowed were now drenched in cold sweat, they glanced at each other and then slowly took their seats.
But there was a lingering sense of unease in their hearts.
They somewhat regretted taking on this task!
They were certain, once the events here were leaked out and the senior executives of the three major companies got wind of them, they would undoubtedly face punishment.
However… they were clueless about the severity of the punishment!
Compared to the might of the three major companies, their fear of the seemingly insane folks in the Hall of Gods was even greater. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, they did not think that they had done anything wrong.
To bow might damage the company’s reputation and result in the company punishing them.
But not to bow, given Ares’s posture just now, would likely result in bloodshed within five steps.
Even if the three major forces pursued the matter afterward, what use would it be? By then, the three of them would already be dead.
Moreover, knowing the companies as well as they did, their deaths might not even attract the attention of the three major companies. Perhaps there would only be a verbal reprimand, with time eventually washing away everything.
Regardless, they were likely to lose something to avoid disaster this time.
Pang Ze wanted to curse but being on the same table with the War God, any attitude could draw the attention of the people around them. He had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction, bowed his head, and began to focus on eating.
The other two did the same—initially they thought it was just an easy task of freeloading on a meal. Who knew that the Hall of Gods had actually sent a Main God!
In the past, there were cases where Meteorite-level powerhouses held weddings, but the Hall of Gods usually only sent lesser gods then.
And lesser gods did not have the temperament of the twelve Main Gods!
Although the Overlord has temporarily de-activated the resonance point shield for his wedding, not all of it was deactivated.
A region near Planet Overlord was opened as a teleportation node for guests, while the corresponding coordinates were released on Barnard’s official website.
The nearby star region was densely packed with a plethora of satellite bases.
They were responsible for receiving guests and guarding against potential enemies who might sneak in.
At this time, an alarm suddenly sounded from the device monitoring the teleportation node.
The commander of the guards was confused, “The banquet is about to begin, why is someone still coming? Did they arrive late?
Soon, a three-star E-class spaceship, a thousand meters long, appeared.
Previously hesitant, the guard immediately took back his assumption.
Whoever could afford to use such a spaceship to attend the feast was naturally not up to him to criticize.
Immediately, they dispatched a guide vessel to the spaceship adorned with a spear drawing, guiding it into the satellite base.
At the same time, the leader personally led the team, standing at the entrance of the spaceship, ready to welcome the guests.
Soon, a very young and handsome young man descended from the spaceship.
The leader of the guards immediately stood up straight, saluted the young man, and shouted, “Honored guest, Barnard welcomes you!”
The Overlord was a title, Barnard was the actual name. In welcoming guests, they stuck strictly to the rule of leading with their clan name.
The young man’s lips slightly curved upwards, acknowledging their welcome with a nod.
The leading guard hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked,
“Forgive me if I misguided you. Can I ask about the symbol on your spaceship?”
In preparation for this wedding, their entire team underwent special training to memorize the totems of all the clans. Different guests were received with different standards!
The young man paused briefly, remaining silent for a solid two seconds before calmly saying,
“I am Du Gang, the Earth War God!”
The leading guard was stunned. He had never heard of such a force before, but it somehow seemed vaguely familiar. He was a bit uncertain at this point.
“You… ‘
One of his soldiers, remembering suddenly, blurted out with a shock, “Earth is that planet, right? The one that caused the death of the queen’s son? The newly promoted level one civilization?”
In recent days, the name of Earth had been circulating in the Wasteland Star Area.
Everyone knew there was such a primitive civilization that had been promoted to a level one civilization. But they were unlucky and offended Nalan Yanran. Furthermore, the Overlord, who she was marrying, had publicly stated that he would personally destroy this civilization!
“What are you here for?!”
The leading guard looked at him nervously.
“Haha!”
Du Gang laughed lightly, took out the invitation letter, and asked, “You invited me. Is there a problem with that?”
The leading guard took the invitation letter and was stunned.
This invitation letter was indeed produced by Barnard’s.
When the Overlord had instructed his subordinates to send invitations to all the forces in the Wasteland Star Area, Earth was no exception. But when he declared that he would personally lead the team to destroy Earth, his subordinates had already sent out the invitations.
Additionally, they had specifically contacted the Purple Orchid Kingdom and spent a lot of money to request the Cosmic Express company to use their instant delivery service.
“How dare you come?” The leading guard asked stupidly. He felt that this might indeed be a weird incident, but the problem was, this person from the doomed star had actually come!
Du Gang’s mouth curved into a slight smile as he asked, “Well? Can’t I go in with an invitation?”
“You can!”
Without hesitation, the leading guard confirmed, quietly arranging for someone to guide Du Gang to the aircraft that would take him to Planet Overlord, whilst secretly sending someone on a faster route to report the situation to the Overlord.
Du Gang decided not to acknowledge this, and with a grin, sat on the somewhat slower sightseeing aircraft!
Since he was already here, he was in no rush!
