Free Web NovelChapter 960: Chapter 470: May You Attain Immortality at Last
"You have crossed the line."
The authoritative divine asked coldly, denouncing the rule-breaker’s disregard for protocol.
"In this internal conflict within our [Nature], mortal disputes belong to the mortal realm, and the divine must not intervene deliberately. This is an agreement that everyone must adhere to!"
"And what have you done!!?"
He seized the lead in the conversation first with righteousness, questioning dramatically, waiting for the other to offer a feeble explanation.
But... he was disappointed.
The other party simply did not pay him any mind.
Faced with the divine’s aggressive questioning, "Kathy" merely glanced at him indifferently, then lost interest, continuing to watch the revenge of the Crimson Thorn.
Just like the law of conservation of smile, "calmness" is also conserved.
When Herbert was calm, someone was not.
The "mastermind" behind everything in the shadows could not remain calm at this moment.
!!?
He felt silently mocked by someone.
In the "young girl’s" deep eyes, there was neither the dread of facing an equal being nor disdain, only tranquility.
It was like seeing a roadside crippled dog barking hysterically, ignoring its impotent rage, paying no heed to his threat.
In the eyes of this interloper, what the thorn was set to do outweighed his warning.
Thus, to him, only indifference.
And indifference, to this extremely arrogant divine, was the utmost insult.
Did she dare ignore me!!?
You!
Dare to insult me!!?
However, though anger surged, he did not completely lose control, still standing on the moral high ground to attack.
"You are provoking Nature!"
"Since you dare to intervene in the Natural Pantheon’s war, do you not understand what this implies!?"
He spoke not a word of his insult but instead pushed the other to the opposing side of the entire Natural Pantheon.
"Do not think you can escape!"
Then—still ignored.
The "young girl" didn’t even turn her head this time, just waved a hand backwards impatiently, the gesture full of disdain.
"You!!?"
He felt angry, he strained to endure.
Then he failed.
"You!!!"
Could not endure at all.
He was enraged, fuming!!!
As the mastermind’s anger rose, the earth trembled slightly, as if reacting to his will.
Within a few breaths, the earth showed signs of cracking!
But Herbert glanced down briefly, then withdrew his gaze, showing not much fear in his heart, instead, a bit of mockery.
"Cannot endure this? Ha, fool."
No, it was not the earth, but the earth-contained elements.
This mastermind revealed, inadvertently after the emotion burst, some of the powers he held.
Within his abilities, probably has powers related to "earth元素."
So, an Earth Pantheon divine?
The Earth Pantheon, created by [Mother Earth], or rather, the offspring that divided her authority.
Though one of the oldest Ancient Gods, her power is exceedingly strong, and even a part of her divided authority could not be underestimated, with many powerful existences among her offspring.
However, this one perhaps fragmented the authority too much, also fell into slumber like [Master of Nature], and has not truly awakened even now.
The current Earth Pantheon situation too, like the entire Natural Pantheon, and even worse.
The Natural Pantheon is barely maintaining the appearance of stability, thanks to Fulingya, seen as the "Natural Master’s daughter."
But the divines in the Earth Pantheon... all are offspring of [Mother Earth], emphasizing equality, none prideful.
They belong to no one’s submission, hardly distinguishing high from low, noble from humble.
This leads not only to a leaderless Pantheon but to open and covert strifes, with many ways to contend for the proxy Master of the Pantheon position.
If they were inclined to disrupt the Natural Pantheon’s situation, or even seize power, it makes sense, logically plausible.
However, Herbert only speculates at the moment, believing the Earth Pantheon’s suspicion is high, without decisive evidence to make a final judgment.
For not all divines with "earth元素" related domains are Earth Pantheon members; it is not exclusive to them.
Like the Four Seasons Goddesses, they each master an element, and the Goddess of Autumn Grain holds the earth元素-related [Harvest] authority.
Herbert’s internal analysis was quick, not using up even a few breaths, yet the other’s patience was worse than expected, couldn’t endure even this time.
Lacking any response from Herbert, that divine roared like a child throwing a tantrum.
"Damn it!"
"Do not ignore me!"
"Answer me!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst the divine’s roars, the earth thundered, forests shook.
"Who on earth are you!!?"
Regarding Herbert’s identity, he had no clue, feeling as if the other appeared out of thin air.
Absolutely no clues.
In fact, he even was unaware of Fremay and her companions’ existence.
Indeed, this was the one who opportunistically took advantage when Withered was dying, puppet-controlled him, using the "forbidden artifact" for forced empowerment behind the scenes.
Yet, after Withered was catalyzed and advanced, he bizarrely lost sight of him, his perception obscured by an unknown disruptor, only recovering not long ago.
