86: Cult of the Summoning God

And so, everyone had a place to go!

Arthur, with his accomplishments and fame hidden, returned to his castle without batting an eye, even after acquiring billions in wealth, and resumed his daily life.

While Arthur was living a normal life, the Kate Kingdom and the Orc Royal Court were in complete chaos!

After daybreak, when the two factions tallied their losses, they realized just how severe they were from the previous night.

The Human side lost nearly half of its influential nobles, and the Orcs also suffered countless casualties. Such immense losses had even shaken the Foundation of both nations.

If it weren't for the Legendary Experts of both nations still being present, deterring all sides, who knows what kind of chaos would have ensued!

Such massive casualties also led to all forces within both nations now being in a state of self-preservation!

Because they didn't know if that mysterious force would strike again, and if so, wouldn't they also be doomed!

Affected by this, the common people of both nations were also constantly in a state of panic!

After all, if the Kate Kingdom fell into chaos, they would be the ones to suffer the most!

Even Arthur's parents were tense at this moment, and they specifically contacted Arthur via magic communicator, telling him to be careful.

Because they didn't know this was Arthur's doing.

They didn't immediately think this matter was related to Arthur!

To reassure his parents, Arthur still told them that those people belonged to the same organization as him and would not harm his family, so they could rest assured.

Upon hearing this, his parents finally felt at ease.

They believed that this incident indirectly showed them the strength of Arthur's organization, which was indeed extraordinary, and they became even more optimistic about Arthur's future!

Then they also thought of the Koruk Family, which had 'coincidentally' been annihilated, and couldn't help but ask Arthur about their suspicions.

In response, Arthur told them that those people were originally going to plunder, and after hearing about Arthur's situation, they conveniently helped him out.

Arthur's explanation also made his parents have an even better impression of his fabricated organization.

After all, such a friendly, mutually helpful organization was too rare!

They even praised the organization several times, telling Arthur to cherish the opportunity he had within it.

Arthur didn't know how to respond to his parents' behavior, so he could only remain silently speechless internally, and then casually brush them off verbally.

As for Marquis of Roses, while they were worried about the mysterious force, they also sighed in admiration.

Arthur truly lives up to his title of "lucky baron"; the Koruk Family had just offended him, and they were annihilated by a mysterious force!

The occurrence of this incident also made them more determined about the marriage alliance with Arthur!

After all, the kingdom was currently in turmoil, and only by uniting with someone like Arthur, who possessed both strength and luck, could they safely reach the end!

Due to the excessive number of casualties and the widespread impact, the Kingdom and the Royal Court had to dispatch personnel again to investigate the culprits!

However, this was just a formality, to give an explanation to the citizens, as they all knew there would likely be no results!

...Meanwhile, in a place unknown to Arthur, the Human and Orc Legendary Experts, who usually appeared to be mortal enemies, had actually gathered together!

In truth, they didn't want to sit down and discuss matters with their old rivals.

But the pressure brought by the mysterious force, which Arthur impersonated, was too great. Moreover, that mysterious force was now attacking both of their factions simultaneously.

This indicated that the mysterious force did not belong to either of them; it was a common enemy for both sides.

This gave them a basis for discussion and even cooperation.

However, since they were old rivals, even though they needed to talk, they stopped approaching each other after about thirty meters.

This awkward situation arose because they didn't trust each other, fearing that the other might take the opportunity to strike!

"Isaac, you old geezer have lived for hundreds of years in vain! I heard that after you received the news yesterday, you actually didn't dare to stop those mere Sky Knight brats!

Indeed, the longer you live, the smaller your guts become!"

As old rivals, even though they came with the purpose of exchanging information, the Orc Legendary Expert was impolite from the start, exposing the Human Legend's old secret!

Upon hearing this, even Isaac, with his centuries of Qi cultivation, was somewhat broken. His old face flushed for an instant, but he quickly suppressed it with his formidable strength!

This matter was indeed disgraceful, and being brought up by his old rival made the humiliation reach its peak!

But Isaac was not to be trifled with and immediately retorted:

"Hmph, I was just being prudent. It's better than you being muddle-headed and only finding out the next day! If those people had wiped out the Orcs, your subordinates would probably all be dead before you even noticed!"

"You!..."

Communication issues were indeed a sore point for the Orcs, and the Orc Legendary Expert couldn't refute it.

Then the two argued a few more sentences until they both turned red-faced and thick-necked before stopping.

Ultimately, the Human Legend Isaac was more rational. He let out a long breath, calmed himself, and said:

"Alright, Gajulas, this is not the time for us to mock each other!

The most important thing now is to figure out the origin of the mysterious force!

As far as I know, four Minotaur Sky Knight level experts raided the Orc Royal Court last night, while seven Human Sky Knights came to our kingdom.

This indicates that the force they belong to has both Orcs and Humans coexisting!"

"A force where Orcs and Humans coexist..."

After Isaac became serious, Gajulas temporarily put aside their grievances, silently repeated the Human Legend Isaac's conclusion, and searched his mind for corresponding forces.

Gajulas thought for a moment, then spoke the conclusion in his mind:

"Humans and Orcs have been almost constantly in a state of hostility throughout the hundreds of thousands of years of history on the Continent of Gods!

Examples of peaceful coexistence are few and far between!

And the only such force that has appeared near our Doreen Peninsula seems to be..."

"God-Summoning Cult!"

Isaac and Gajulas suddenly said in unison!

Since a great war occurred on the Continent of Gods more than ten thousand years ago, the gods collectively disappeared.

For over ten thousand years, no gods have appeared on the Continent of Gods again!

And since then, becoming a god has become infinitely more difficult, to the point of being impossible.

As a result, the strongest individuals on the continent today are only Demigods!

The God-Summoning Cult was passed down from the fanatical believers under the gods more than ten thousand years ago. They didn't believe that the gods would simply disappear and tried every means to summon them, hoping to receive a response.

This organization is all-encompassing; anyone who believes in a god can join, regardless of race!

There is actually another reason why this organization was able to continue its Legacy after disappearing for over ten thousand years.
