Chapter 412: Lying Through Your Teeth
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A new round of denunciations against Li Cheng started in the battle conference room.
Li Cheng scratched his ears. Naturally, he did not care about what they said.
Only the weak cared about what others thought. Was Li Cheng weak?
The answer was yes, but of course not.
Soon, Li Cheng became a little impatient and immediately retaliated.
“Hehe, I don’t think everyone understands their current position.”
“If that’s the case, then I won’t participate in this event.”
“Archbishops, you can send your own holy war troops. I have high hopes for you. You will definitely be able to destroy the void.”
“…”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the archbishops fell silent. The entire conference room was deathly silent.
Only now did they realize that they had something to ask of Li Cheng.
Heavens, only then did the archbishops realize what they had said. They were bombarding Li Cheng.
And this time, Li Cheng had completely grasped the archbishops’ weak points. Because in the battle against the Void, the Angels were still the main force.
As for the Angel Race, they had become Li Cheng’s vassals. If Li Cheng did not allow the Angels to participate in the battle, the consequences were obvious.
Moreover, Li Cheng’s reputation among the players was extremely high. If Li Cheng said that he would not allow the players to participate in this battle, the majority of the players would not participate. Then, everything…would be borne by the various large churches. They could not bear the consequences.
Although the players were very weak, they had a special characteristic. They would not die in the main plane. Once their true bodies died, they would revive in the Lord’s Hall.
This meant that the Lost Continent had endless cannon fodder. Without the players as cannon fodder, all the shrines would not be able to bear such losses.
When they thought of this, the bishops broke out in cold sweat.
As for Li Cheng, he sneered. These people from the various shrines were really used to whoring for nothing. Every world event was a reward from the system, but what did the various churches have to offer?
Li Cheng was not in a hurry. With his current authority, he could still close the teleportation door leading to the Void Tower. It was simply too easy. Once the teleportation door was closed…these archbishops had nowhere to cry.
At this time, the faces of the archbishops were very ugly. They felt as if they had eaten flies.
They had always been high and mighty existences. They were the representatives of the gods in the main plane. When had they ever seen others act in such a manner? No matter which human empire it was, they would always be polite to them, it had been a long time since someone had threatened them.
Therefore, they were not used to it. At least, they felt that they could not say anything that made them admit defeat to Li Cheng.
After a long time, no one spoke.
At this time, Archbishop Aaron stood up, glanced around, and said in a deep voice.
“Enough! The Void is the enemy of our entire universe. Every living being in the entire universe is our ally.”
“Moreover, the Angels have resisted the void for tens of thousands of years. They have already paid more. It is us who owe the Angel Race, so we can not ask for too much.”
“Sir Netherworld, I apologize to you on behalf of the major churches. I hope that you can run away from your prejudice and join us in resisting the invasion of the Void.”
At this time, Aaron did not mention that they were from the same universe and that they were from the same camp to suppress Li Cheng because he knew that Li Cheng would not fall for this trick at all, he might as well apologize honestly.
Hearing this, the bishops of the various churches focused their eyes. They knew the temper of Archbishop Aaron. He had always been a very irritable existence, now, he actually lowered his voice to a human player.
However, everyone present was smart. They knew that it was not good to say anything at this time. It was better to not say anything and just watch.
Hearing Aaron’s words, Li Cheng nodded, accepting his apology. Then, he waved his hand, he said, “If you want to apologize, then forget it. I am also a member of the mortal plane. I should have made some contributions to kindness and justice.”
Hearing this, the archbishops’ faces were filled with joy. They thought that Li Cheng had changed his mind. However, they did not expect Li Cheng to not said anything.
“Archbishops, the problem now is that my troops have experienced many battles, big and small. In the front, they have completely wiped out the undead calamity that is entrenched in the east, causing quite a bit of damage to the troops.”
“Later on, they even faced the Demon King of the Abyss, which caused my troops to suffer a devastating blow. They even defeated the entire red dragon race. There are very few of my troops left, and later on, I rescued the Goddess of Wealth.”
“The few goddesses behind me all paid a great price. My troops don’t have much combat power, so I won’t participate in this event.”
“…”
Hearing Li Cheng lying through his teeth, all the archbishops narrowed their eyes. This guy’s fox tail had finally leaked out.
What troop had experienced several big battles and did not have much combat power? This was complete nonsense. If any God really believed Li Cheng’s words and wanted to go to his territory to destroy him…there would definitely not be a single trace of ashes left.
They now knew that this guy, Li Cheng, was now threatening them and also sending them a message.
If they wanted Li Cheng to participate in the battle against the void, they would have to give him resources to organize his troops so that the troops that were not capable of fighting would be refreshed.
Li Cheng sneered. That was indeed what he meant. The reason why he was so brazen and said it without pretending was that he was unhappy with these high and mighty archbishops and needed to disgust them.
As for Aaron apologizing to him, Li Cheng sneered.
If apologizing was useful, why would he need to compensate them? Why did he need the law? If he did not pay a price, would it not be illegal for him to brag?
