Chapter 397: A Battle to Settle Revenge
Chapter 397: A Battle to Settle Revenge
It suddenly became such an unfair side. Three against one, Regulus tried to find a way out of his predicament. Still, he couldn't come up with any reliable idea.
When he saw his magic being dispelled just now, he was already feeling a little hesitant to fight the Golden Goddess, and right now, he needed to fight three? The chances of him winning fell to zero in the blink of an eye.
At first, he wanted to invite the newly arrived Goddess to subdue the newly ascended Goddess to know how a mortal could break through to the divine level. And now, he started to think of a peaceful way for this due to many factors.
Regulus gritted his teeth and ended up making a difficult decision. "Grr... I don't think there's any purpose for me to fight to the heart of the three of you right here and now. The purpose of your presence is simply to punish my distant descendants for the sin they committed, right? If so, please do so. However, I will not stand still if you kill even one of them."
"Oh, you just gave in? I thought there would be an epic battle between you and us. I remember you being so arrogant three weeks ago, and just now was no different." Nell scoffed as she folded her arms.
She was aware that the Beast God was a cowardly divine being when certain conditions were met, but now everything had been proven true.
Meanwhile, Elysia and Rhea's avatar just smiled faintly with expressions that were hard to decipher. Then, they looked at each other and exchanged words via telepathy.
"Perhaps you misunderstood me, the Goddess of Blessings." Regulus was a bit nervous to wait for the answer from the other two Goddesses. He knew they were the ones who might decide the fate of his distant descendants.
"Wait, just now? So, my previous hunch was correct. The ones watching everything in invisibility are the two of you. You've been here from the start with that six-winged Golden Goddess." Regulus just realized something, and his eyes widened slightly.
"Who knows." Nell just shrugged her shoulders and spread her arms as if she didn't know anything.
'Nee, Rhea, this is a little off the mark. No one thought that Regulus would just succumb just because you and Nell came.' Elysia conveyed the same confusion as Elena.
'Ah, the Beast God is still respectful toward me. Thankfully, he doesn't know that this one is just my avatar. However, isn't this result still similar to the one you expected, Master Elysia?' Rhea recalled the past about a polite yet timid lion.
'Mm, yeah, you're right too. Since the Beast God will not interfere, let's leave this to Vann. She is the one who will decide.' Elysia assumed everything was fine as planned, but that was only accelerated because of the Beast God.
'Hum, hum~ This Beast God has a bad temper and personality. Besides, I don't like this fiery black lion. Let's see what I do with him later, fufu, hehe...' Elena rubbed her hands together with an evil smile.
Elysia just rolled her eyes to hear Elena's statements. She knew that Elena had other plans for the Beast God just because Elena didn't like this lion God.
"Now everything is ok, Vann. The Beast God will not interfere, and the Pyrogressive Lion Clan is a group of helpless lions. Tell me, what do you expect to happen to them. Or, what do you want to do with them?" Elysia turned around to talk to her white tiger.
"I want to tear them apart." Vanessa bared her fangs as if she was about to attack.
"Wha, wait a minute! I can't let that happen. Even if they make mistakes, I'm still their ancestor. I can't just let the blood of my descendants be slaughtered." Regulus immediately interrupted before it was too late.
"Why do we need to wait a minute for you? You can't even withstand my magic attack, so what do you want to do?" Elysia turned around again and looked at the Beast God.
"You may not know it yet, but the cursed creatures will be freed from the shackles of the sealed areas in a few months. According to the prophecy, every life is a reinforcement force that will help us win that inevitable battle." Regulus tried to come up with something reasonable.
Then, he continued with a more suitable solution. "How about this. The ones who have a grudge with my distant descendant clan are those winged tigers, right? Why not let them settle all of that with their own hands?"
"What do you mean by that, Beast God?" Elysia raised her eyebrow. She did not understand what this Beast God was talking about.
"Three against three, winged tigers against pyrogressive lions. This is a battle to settle their revenge and hatred. The strength of all will be limited to Spirit level only to ensure fairness. The rules are simple. As long as it doesn't kill the opponent, then it's fine. How about that?" Regulus explained briefly and raised his three claws to emphasize his words.
"It's already unfair considering that your distant descendant clan has one at the Emperor level, and that individual is also the one my tiger wants to tear the most. Besides, the rest of the Winged Tiger Clan have long been vassals of those fire lions." Elysia patted her chin while discussing with Elena in mind.
"So, what do you want? It's not a good thing for a divine being like you to take part in the hostility between mortals." Regulus pointed his claw at the Golden Goddess.
"Heh, and you got yourself involved to protect your sinful offspring. You said that, but you're the one who broke it too." Nell sneered once more, but Regulus remained silent in response.
'Oh, right! Ely, I remember one beast that could help in this matter. So, this will really be an epic battle between beasts against beasts.' Elena dropped her fist into her open palm.
'And who is it, Sister Elena? I have Gio in mind.' Elysia couldn't come up with any other suitable beast other than the colossal Beast Emperor.
'Yes, that's right. That little brown tortoise would do a great job. Besides, it's going to be fun and exciting too, fufu... Make it four against four, Ely. I believe Gio is the perfect candidate for this.' Elena suggested while covering her mouth.
Even though Elysia knew that Elena was only hoping for an entertaining spectacle, she also thought it was the best idea, considering the Beast God's proposal.
Therefore, she asked the concerned party about it first. "Vann, what do you think? Let's invite Gio to participate. It will be four versus four, and he will help you very well. Also, all powers will be limited to the Spirit level. Can you do it?"
"That's perfect. I have the confidence to win and make those fire lions regret the sins they have committed." Despite saying that, she had more confidence in her master. She knew there was something else behind this change of plans.
"Uncle Theo, Aunt Leila, are you willing to join me and tear those fire lions to pieces?" Vanessa turned to her uncle and aunt with an evil smile.
"You don't have to ask me that. I will gladly help you. Roar!" Theo roared with passion and conviction.
"Hum, at least this is better. I'll help you, Little Vannesa. I'm sure we'll win this, but we need to think of a plan to deal with Ernest and his son. They are fire lions with lots of secret techniques." Leila thought of a plan so that they could win and this grudge could be resolved. After all, the masterminds behind that past tragedy were Ernest and his son.
"But, who is Gio?" Theo tilted his head slightly at the unfamiliar name. He glanced at the Golden Goddess, then looked at his niece.
"He is a powerful beast. He will help us win this. The fire lion's defeat is certain even though there is no limit on strength to Spirit-level though." Vanessa smirked in response.
Hearing that everyone had agreed, Elysia turned her attention back to the Beast God. "All right, we'll go with your proposal. But, it will be four against four, and we will be the ones to seal all the power participants up to the early Spirit-level stage."
"Then that's been decided. The battle of revenge will take place in half an hour in the wasteland over there." Regulus pointed to a fairly large vacant lot a bit far from the forest city. Then, he looked down to see the extent of the destruction of the Golden Goddess's magic earlier.
"It sounds good." Elysia nodded.
At that moment, Regulus spread his wings and spoke loudly for all the beasts below to hear. "A battle to settle revenge will be held in a vacant lot east of the forest city. All beasts are welcome to watch the battle between the four representatives of the Pyrogressive Lion Clan against the four representatives of the Winged Tiger Clan."
An uproar immediately ensued, and they immediately prepared to head east. However, it was different from the fire lions. Ernest and his clan members had bitter faces, as if they had just swallowed the big bad bugs. Their Beast God ancestor couldn't protect them no matter what because there were three Goddesses on the opposing side!
Nevertheless, it would be easy to beat those winged tigers even if they got one reinforcement.
"All the winged tigers of the declined Winged Tiger Clan are also very much invited to attend." Elysia didn't forget to add, then she went to the vacant lot in the east of forest city with her little group.
