Chapter 1057: Chapter 368: Swarmed to Death

But the Wind Roc Queen’s eyes, sharp enough to almost glow, after a moment of contemplation, she shook her head and said:

"Great Nether Sea Goddess, although according to the ancient covenant, I cannot refuse your request, I also have an agreement with the Dragan Empire, and I cannot personally help you deal with this human."

"So, I am unworthy of accepting your Divine Power Crystal."

Although the Wind Roc Queen is strong, an epic-level pinnacle powerhouse, her strength is not the key when it comes to the Dragan Empire, which has more than a dozen Dragon Knights.

The key is her speed.

The Wind Roc Queen’s nickname is ’Lightning Walker’, and her speed is unrivaled.

The name ’Lightning Walker’ Trist is renowned among all epic-level powerhouses, which is also why the Wind Roc Clan can nest in the Beverly Pass area.

The Empire doesn’t take things lightly, and it was only after several unsuccessful sieges that they reached an agreement with the Wind Roc Queen.

"Trist, consider this Divine Power Crystal as my gift. You can send your subordinates to deal with this human. I hope you won’t neglect me." The Nether Sea Goddess Hela looked deeply at the Wind Roc Queen and said.

"Moreover, this human can transform into a Dragon-man and is skilled in close combat."

As soon as the words were spoken, the black-robed young girl, who was Hela’s avatar, suddenly turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared in front of the Wind Roc Queen.

"Skilled in close combat? That’s exactly what my clan excels at dealing with..." The Wind Roc Queen Trist muttered to herself while picking up the floating Divine Power Crystal.

She understood why the Nether Sea Goddess Hela came to her.

But there was another question: What exactly did the human boy named Rein do to make a divine being so concerned?

After pondering for a moment, Trist shook her head, unable to figure it out.

She said outwardly, "Bring Merick over!"

"As you command, my Queen!"

Meanwhile.

Inside the Snyder family mansion in Marn City.

After some pleasantries, Luther arranged for everyone to move to a more secretive small meeting room.

"General Howie, Lord Rein, this room is fortified with multiple protection witch arrays to prevent eavesdropping and spying. It can effectively block certain distant surveillance."

Rein nodded, having heard of such protection witch arrays before.

Of course, if it faced the true form of a divine being or some exceptionally powerful avatar, then these protection witch arrays wouldn’t be much more effective than thin paper. But if it was just a projection of a divine being or the descent of a Saint, they would be very effective.

As everyone took their seats, a man and a woman, two department heads behind General Howie, quickly pulled out notebooks and pens, diligently taking notes.

Seeing Rein’s slightly surprised look, the competent woman smiled faintly and said:

"Lord Rein, what you’re talking about is extremely important. According to the regulations of the Sword Bearers, anything involving divine beings must be reported to the Sword Holder Headquarters immediately."

"I see." Rein showed a look of understanding and nodded.

"Lord Rein, to more accurately report the situation you encountered this time, if Fiornado and Leana ask any offensive questions, please don’t mind," General Howie said with a smile.

"Of course not, I understand, it’s just work." Rein smiled and said.

Thus, Rein began to slowly recount, including Titled Knight Luther, who was also listening attentively.

After all, this involved intelligence about a True God who was in the process of revival, and it couldn’t be taken too seriously.

Ten minutes later...

The competent young woman named Leana, with a puzzled look, asked:

"I’m sorry, that... Lord Rein, you just said you refused the other’s solicitation, and they were very angry. But as far as we know, even if it’s just a projection of a True God, generally they are highly wise."

"Normally, it’s very hard to provoke them with just a few words."

"So... how did you make the other very angry? Was it something you said, or an action you took?"

To Leana’s question, even General Howie and others present nodded slightly.

They were equally puzzled by this.

After all, the Nether Sea Goddess Hela was renowned since ancient times.

Among the numerous divines recorded in the Empire’s tomes, she is one of the top-ranked beings. How could her emotions be so easily swayed, affecting her power’s effectiveness?

It didn’t make sense.

"Uh..." Rein hesitated.

It wasn’t that he didn’t remember, but now looking back, what he said seemed... how to say... somewhat arrogant.

At least, that’s how it would appear to outsiders.

However, after thinking for a bit, Rein decided to tell the truth.

After all, if what he shared could lead the Empire to discover a vulnerability of the divine being, it would be extremely valuable.

"Actually, I didn’t say much. The other said submit or die, and I said I choose neither... uh... I also said ’You hit me and it hurt, so I have to hit back!’"

"Then the other got really angry..." Rein shrugged and said.

"Huh?!" Everyone present was stunned.

Including Fiornado and Leana, who were taking notes, their pens paused as they lifted their heads, eyes wide, looking at Rein with an expression of disbelief.

Several seconds later, it was General Howie who recovered first, exclaiming loudly in praise:

"Hahaha! Good!"
