Volume 4 Chapter 600 If You Were King
To show his sincerity, Levi went directly to Olympus in his real body, and Donna noticed his arrival at the first time.
Without saying a word, she flew into his arms.
Without any words, just eye contact, Levi knew that although her trial did not take long, it was definitely extremely difficult, and she might even face multiple death crises, so her emotions were released so intensely.
If you think about it, you will understand that this is a major matter concerning the future of the priesthood and the race.
"Levi, am I qualified to continue standing by your side now?"
Levi said without hesitation: "Of course, you always have!"
"Hey, can you two please consider other people's feelings?"
When he looked up, he saw Elegy, whose clothes were torn and covered in blood, looking at Levi and Donna who were hugging each other with an unhappy look on his face.
She had to admit that she was indeed jealous this time.
But at the same time, she was also convinced because both her and Donna's opponents were legends, but Donna won.
However, she did not gain nothing. Diana and Kratos both saw her courage and tenacity with their own eyes. They jointly gave her the blessing of God. Combined with other gains from the trial, she is now a legendary level.
She even said that she did not accept their inheritance, which might not be a bad thing for her because she might have a brighter future!
Levi laughed and stretched out his hand. Elegy's body flew over uncontrollably and was held in his arms: "Don't worry, I will arrange it for you."
The original god of war and magic in the elven pantheon was Corellon, but he had lost them for a long time. Since then, these two priesthoods have been vacant. Both himself and Lilith are determined to fill this gap.
It just so happened that within the Egyptian pantheon, there happened to be a god of war - Anhor. He originally fought against Set in the name of revenge for Osiris, but after the resurrection of his own king of gods - Osiris, he remained silent.
Just think about it and you will know that he probably has ambitions for the position of God King.
An He's godhood level is 7. With his research in the field of war, as long as he is willing to spend a lot of divine power, it is entirely possible for him to condense a new war priesthood.
If Levi is willing to make some promises as Osiris and pay some price, it is very possible to get it.
Elegy wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. She just pinched Levi's chest and changed the subject very stiffly: "Well, you have gained a lot of muscles recently."
Levi blinked: "How about giving you a chance to take a closer look at night?"
Elegy nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
Donna next to him couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, you two, at least pay attention to the occasion."
Is Elegy curious about Levi's muscles or something else? How could she not know?
Further away, the newly crowned Spartan god, Penthesilea, was walking over with her sister, Hippolyta, as well as Diana and Kratos, who had already abandoned their priesthood and most of their power within the crystal wall system.
There is no need to say much about Penthesilea. Even though she has become a true god, her attitude towards Levi seems to have not changed at all. She waved excitedly at him from a distance.
The latter two, on the other hand, kept looking Levi up and down, whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were saying, which made Penthesilea next to them blush.
Levi also met these two survivors of the Greek pantheon in a formal setting.
Diana is a heroic-looking female warrior, and Kratos is a ferocious-looking bald man. However, the way they looked at Levi was full of friendliness. After all, the relationship between the two sides was there.
After a few polite words, Levi deliberately asked the other party why he transferred his priesthood.
Diana and Kratos looked at each other without hiding too much.
It turned out that they had begun to feel a vague sense of rejection several months ago. In recent days, this feeling had suddenly increased countless times, as if the entire crystal wall system was resisting them.
If this situation continues, they will probably be forced to make a decision in a few days: return to their original crystal wall system as soon as possible, or stay here forever.
As for what they will choose, it is now very clear.
According to the plan, they should leave in a few hours, but they now have one last request: that is, they hope Levi can protect Penthesilea and Donna, as well as the Amazons and Spartans.
Of course they also heard what Corellon said, but compared to Corellon, they trusted Levi and Lilith more.
Levi nodded without hesitation. He would have done so even without this request.
Then Levi also mentioned Yege's desire, and finally he emphasized: "This involves a deal between Yege and me, but if Your Highnesses find it difficult, I will refuse him."
"Jacob?"
Diana was a little hesitant, because she didn't really know much about the god of death. She only knew that he was very ancient and very mysterious. She was not sure whether it was a good thing to introduce him into the crystal wall system belonging to the Greek gods.
But Kratos patted his chest and made a decision for her: "No problem at all. If it's him, I'm sure he can stir up some trouble in the foreign land and bring some fun to Zeus and Ares, right?"
Although their Greek pantheon is also a family-based pantheon, he and the two guys mentioned above are not only relatives, but also former enemies.
Although he later recovered the treasure he regarded as his life and received a lot of compensation through the mediation of the god of death and Athena, the grudge had already been formed.
It wouldn't be a real fight to the death, but if there was a chance to cause some trouble for the opponent, that would definitely be something Kratos would be very happy to see.
Coincidentally, Jergal should have this potential.
As for the chaos caused by Jergal, whether it will eventually get out of control and even take over the overall situation.
Kratos could only say that if the Greek pantheon ended up like that despite having an absolute home advantage and with only one god on the other side, it was what they deserved!
Seeing Kratos's firm attitude, Diana nodded in agreement with a little helplessness, because she knew that it would be useless even if she objected.
Moreover, she had also accumulated a considerable degree of dissatisfaction with many of the past actions of the Greek gods.
Rather than saying that the Greek gods are gods, it would be better to say that they are people who indulge their desires without scruples because they possess great power.
Zeus is the most notorious of them all, but many of the other gods are only slightly better than Zeus.
Apart from Diana and Kratos, perhaps the only gods that truly look like gods are Athena and a few others.
I hope that the appearance of Yeger can bring them a little sense of crisis and make some changes accordingly.
Naturally, Levi expressed his gratitude very sincerely. Once the deal with Yager was reached, he would probably be able to save himself hundreds of years and directly pass the initial stage of creating a territory from scratch in the underworld.
At the same time, Levi reiterated that he would treat elves, Amazons and Spartans equally and do his best to protect the prosperity of their races.
After hearing what Levi said, Kratos seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned to look at Diana, indicating that it was time for her to speak.
Diana glanced at Donna, and when she saw her nod, she also spoke:
"Your Highness Levi, there is one more thing I need your help with. With our departure, the Amazons' reproduction method may have to change. They need to have more frequent contact with men from the outside world to ensure the reproduction and expansion of the race."
Originally, the Amazons' reproduction relied on a magical artifact bestowed by Zeus, which enabled them to give birth to offspring without any males, and newborns would always be females. This is similar to the incubation equipment bestowed by the ancient saints on the lizard people.
But with Zeus running away, the artifact could no longer be used. Despite Diana and Kratos' repeated attempts, they were still unable to solve the problem.
This is another reason why Kratos decided to migrate the Spartans from overseas to Lustria to join the Amazons there. If the two races can be internally digested, it would be a good plan. The Spartans do not have that kind of artifact.
But Paradise Island is too far away from Lustria, and it seems that the Amazons there can only hope to intermarry with the elves.
Penthesilea next to him felt a little embarrassed, but she also nodded.
She already knew about this matter, but because it involved the top secret of racial inheritance, she had never revealed any information to Levi.
Of course Levi could understand this, and it was even something he was happy to see.
This special way of reproduction of Amazon is quite similar to recruiting soldiers from God-given buildings.
Such existence can often quickly form combat effectiveness, but there may be some problems in terms of the upper limit of potential.
At least as far as Levi knows , excluding Donna and Elegy, two Amazons who had special experiences and followed him to many places, and excluding the descendants of gods like Penthesilea, there are very few famous people among the other Amazons.
If the Amazons could intermarry with the elves now, I can't say anything else, but at least in terms of magical talent, it should be of great benefit to the Amazons.
Elves are admittedly rather arrogant and rarely intermarry with other races, but aside from their cultural differences, their life spans also vary greatly, and Amazons' life spans are generally not short.
The high elves may think highly of themselves, but Levi feels that the blood elves and some good-hearted drow elves would be a good breakthrough point, or it would be okay to start with the half-elves in the colonies.
As long as we can make some policy adjustments, there will always be some progress. Not all elves can use magic, and not all elves live a very decent life. They also have to work hard to make a living.
Looking at Levi who was in deep thought, Kratos rolled his eyes, suddenly chuckled, and had a good idea.
"Your Highness Levi, if you were the king, who would be the queen?"
Even with Levi's current level of divinity, if he wanted to call himself the King of Gods, he would only cause the other gods to laugh at him.
But Kratos thought he was not wrong. A being like Levi might be able to submit to other beings for a while, but he would never be willing to be inferior to others forever.
It might be possible that he and Lilith would remain friends forever, but one day, the two would be truly equal allies, rather than the slightly awkward situation they were in now.
The scene suddenly became quiet. Donna chuckled and said nothing, while Wangge was a little nervous.
Levi responded immediately: "Donna will be my queen of gods, and then I will find a way to help Elegy ascend to godhood."
Hearing this, the two of them laughed at the same time. Unexpectedly, Levi glanced at them and continued, "In addition, I was deified as Osiris, so his queen Isis also followed me back to Mount Heaven."
After a slight pause, Levi continued: "Well, Isis and I also gave birth to a son of God - Horus."
He wasn't sure whether Donna and the other two had learned the news from other channels as everyone was busy recently, but he felt he needed to be honest.
"I see. Is it the weaker divine power of the Egyptian pantheon?"
"Yes, it is the Eagle God who holds many divine duties such as revenge and royal power!"
Diana and Kratos all looked at him sideways, they didn't expect Levi to play such a trick. Together with Sobek and Serket before, Levi has caught the sheep of the Egyptian pantheon and can fleece the sheep as much as he wants, right?
"Great job, Levi!"
Elegy couldn't help but pat Levi's chest, and the look in his eyes became more fiery.
She wasn't very interested in that Isis, she only knew that the man she liked had conquered a goddess of weaker power!
Donna on the other side was in a similar situation, but she still added: "Isis is the queen of Osiris, not Levi?"
A goddess who had never been seen before suddenly appeared and competed with him for Levi, and she succeeded. It was impossible to say that she didn't care at all.
But now that things have come to this, what can she do?
And from what she knew about Levi, Levi was not someone who would stay away from beautiful women as soon as he saw them. This was most likely based on a deal and a more far-reaching plan.
Levi nodded: "At least for now, that's the case. Tefnut and Isis want Horus to take revenge on Set and seize the throne of the Egyptian pantheon."
"But there seems to be some disagreement between the two goddesses. I am not sure how long Isis will stay on Mount Paradise."
As of now, Isis seems to be a naive person, but Tefnut is quite intelligent.
Unfortunately, she was too weak, and she consumed a lot of resources in the process of supporting Horus. She also lost the treasure from Ra, which she had always trusted. She would basically not be able to make any waves in the future.
Her remaining value probably lies in her relationship with other gods in the Egyptian pantheon, and possible help to Horus.
Donna was immediately satisfied.
Hearing this, Kratos smiled even more strangely: "In that case, I guess Your Highness Levi wouldn't mind having another queen of gods, right? What do you think of Penthesilea?"
"Ah?" Penthesilea had never expected that this matter would involve herself, but when she thought of some things that happened before, she couldn't help but blush for a moment.
She had been working for Levi before, but because of the construction of Paradise Island and many other reasons, she owed more and more debts. At that time, more than one person hinted to her that the worst that could happen was to pay it back with her body.
But she didn't expect that Kratos would say such words!
Levi was not too surprised. He just smiled and said, "It depends on Penthesilea's own ideas. I don't want her to force it."
It seems that Kratos is matching people up randomly, but isn't this also a kind of transaction?
If Penthesilea became his wife, he would certainly take better care of her and her Spartans. This could be considered the last guarantee Kratos sought for the Spartans.
Diana also looked at Penthesilea. She had thought of this as well, but she also wanted to hear Penthesilea's own opinion, because she and Kratos were about to leave the Crystal Wall System, and the future development of Sparta and Amazon would still depend on Penthesilea and Donna.
As for Donna and Elegy, they did not show any dissatisfaction this time. You have to know that half a year ago, there was a huge gap between them and Penthesilea in terms of identity, status and strength.
But now they have the chance to be sisters, and when they think about this, they are actually more excited and looking forward to it!
Noticing so many gazes, Penthesilea couldn't help but blush even more, but she still nodded generously and said, "I do!"
Before he finished speaking, Levi had already received a new system prompt. Following Donna just now, she also became his servant god.
But unlike Anubis and other gods who originally belonged to the Egyptian pantheon, the two of them were named as incarnations of the light dragon.
Subordinate God 1: Donna (Lawful Neutral), Divine Level: 2 (Weak Power), Portfolio: Amazon, Bravery, Fearlessness, Hunting.
Subordinate God 2: Penthesilea (Lawful Neutral), Divine Level: 1 (Weak Power), Duties: Spartans, Gladiators, Harshness, Military Training.
Compared to Isis and the others, Donna and the others' godhood level is obviously much lower.
There was no way. The Greek pantheon had only been in the Zodiac Universe for too short a time, and the main world had already been divided up by the gods, leaving them with little opportunity for development.
Fortunately, Levi had just obtained a lot of fragments of the divine power from the underworld, which could be used to enhance their strength.
Anyway, one of them is already his wife, and the other is about to become his wife.
Seeing that this would not only allow her to raise her godhood level to a higher level but would even allow her to have the energy to create an avatar, Donna, with a look of surprise on her face, offered him a kiss without hesitation.
Although Penthesilea next to him was a little embarrassed, she still kissed Levi on the side of his cheek. She had always had a good impression of Levi, so it was not entirely out of shyness, but she had never had any experience in this area.
Diana couldn't help but smile when she saw this, and Kratos also laughed: "Okay, Your Highness Levi, please inform Your Highness Jaco, we are about to leave, and it's up to you guys to do it next!"
Levi immediately bowed slightly to Kratos and Diana, not only to thank them for taking Jager away so that his deal could be done, but also for their care for Donna and the others.
The next step is to choose the location of their two kingdoms of God. Although they have inherited the priesthood and godhood of Diana and Kratos, they still have to build the kingdom of God from scratch, so they need to consider which plane to place .
If you still choose to stay in the Unfettered Wild plane where the elven gods are, you can be neighbors with Lilith and others, and it will be convenient for you to receive the protection of the elven gods.
But the key point is that the camp attribute of the Untamed Wild Plane is chaotic good, while Donna and the other two are lawful neutral.
Putting the Kingdom of God there will not only fail to strengthen them, but will make them get half the result with twice the effort no matter what they do.
In comparison, if they were placed in Mount Paradise, although the camps were still not absolutely compatible and their strength might be much weaker, Levi and Mount Paradise would definitely do their best to ensure their safety.
Penthesilea had no special objections, so Donna naturally agreed immediately. It was just in time for them to go to Mount Paradise to meet the goddess Isis!
So they took action immediately, and Levi also told Lilith that she didn't need to rush to congratulate them, and she could go to Paradise Mountain anytime when she had time in the future.
Lilith understood as soon as she heard it. Levi must have dealt with Penthesilea as well.
Well, this is not something that is completely incomprehensible. If she were not a goddess, she would probably be very interested in a hero like Levi, not to mention Penthesilea, who lives on Paradise Island all day and has never seen many men.
Then Levi also told Jergal, and almost the moment he sent the message, Jergal responded positively and came in person to meet Kratos and the others.
Levi didn't care how much specific interests were exchanged between the two parties. He only knew that a few minutes later, Yager handed him a crystal skull.
"Your Highness Levi, this is the key to my territory in the underworld. As long as you have it, you can inherit everything I have in the underworld."
While speaking, Yager was also full of emotion. Who could have thought that his wish of countless years would eventually be fulfilled by Levi, whom he had only known for such a short time?
Levi bowed to him very seriously and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Yege. I hope you can achieve your wish."
Although the other party had ulterior motives from the beginning, Levi had to admit that Yager had given him a lot of help.
However, Levi can also be sure that Yege's purpose is definitely not just to go to other crystal wall systems to play, he must have more ambitious goals.
Yager couldn't help but chuckle: "Your Highness Levi, it seems that you are much more perceptive and intelligent than Kelemvor."
Without explaining too much, Jergal reached out and took out a plain scroll: "This contains my knowledge about the realm of death and the origin of death. I hope it will be useful to you."
Without waiting for Levi to react, Yager stabbed his chest with his backhand, and pulled out a few crystals with a little effort: "This is my priesthood and some fragments of the godhead. I'll leave them to you to deal with."
The rules of different crystal wall systems are very different, and his divinity and priesthood are only recognized within this crystal wall system. If he goes to other crystal wall systems, he still has to master various rules again, so there is no point in keeping them.
Levi bowed again: "I will make sure they play their due role."
The order of death, fatalism, gravekeepers, formal funerals, and custodians of the dead's names, a total of five priestly duties.
Although they don't sound very good, no god would complain about having too many divine duties as long as they don't conflict with himself.
However, Levi did not intend to use them all for himself. He would only take the order of death, and the rest could be kept for now. Whether it was to inspire Anubis, or to cultivate new gods of death in the future, or to win over other gods, they could all come in handy.
With the addition of a complete level 1 godhood, Levi can immediately create a weak divine power of the death system.
Without taking into account the long-lost goddess of death in the elven pantheon, Jergal should be the one with the most say among the gods regarding the realm of death and the origin of death, even more so than the powerful Kelemvor. One can imagine how precious these gifts are.
Yager chuckled and said, "There are two more things. The Lord of the Abyss who rules the 421st layer of the Abyss, the King of Ghouls, Dorisan, asked me for help yesterday, hoping to get my protection to get rid of the enslavement of the King of Gnolls, Yeenoghu, but I haven't had time to respond to him yet."
"Is that so? I see."
Levi was not unfamiliar with these two names. They were both demon lords who were not very powerful but had great reputations, especially Yeenoghu. He was also an enemy of the dead Minotaur King - Baphomet and others.
Now that Baphomet is dead and Yeenoghu has lost a major threat, it probably no longer needs Dorican as cannon fodder. It is completely understandable that it starts to seek more things.
After all, they are all demon gods now. If they want to upgrade their godhood level as quickly as possible, slaughtering other demon gods is undoubtedly the fastest way.
Dorisen's strength is not as good as Yeenoghu's, but in addition to ghouls, he also masters the priesthood of necromancy. It's no wonder that Yeenoghu would be interested in it.
Even Levi was a little interested that necromancy could be included in the duties of the gods of death.
Another point is that before becoming a demon lord, Dorisan was once an elf.
Of course, his fall was not due to any other external reasons, but simply because he killed other elves and devoured their flesh and blood.
Therefore, this King of Ghouls deserves to die, but he can be used in some way.
Then Jergal hesitated for a rare moment, but he finally sighed and said, "Besides, after inheriting my priesthood and my legacy in the underworld, Shar may come to find you. If she asks me where I'm going, tell her that I'm going to pursue my true dream!"
