Chapter 349: Chapter 126: Why Does He Get the Goddess’s Attention?_3

"The Church of Pleasure can’t withstand your torment," Babylon admitted candidly. As a bishop of the Church of Pleasure, she was very aware of her church’s strength. Unless the Goddess of Pleasure descended, the Church of the Goddess of Pleasure simply did not have the power to resist the Church of Death.

The churches in this world were not all as powerful as the Church of the Goddess of Life, the Church of the God of War, or the Church of Justice.

There were also many churches with much weaker strength.

"However, if the Church of War insists on blocking the way, we have no means to stop them," she shrugged. "I hope you can understand that."

"Then let me talk to them," Xi Mu responded coolly. Babylon, upon hearing this, let out a coy, shallow laugh and then stood up, walking outside to lead Ahtal to meet with the high echelons of the Church of War, no... to meet a deity, to be precise.

In a spacious garden, many muscular men dressed in shorts sat around a table, drinking merrily with a burning intensity in the air.

And in the center of the garden.

"Ahtal, we meet again," the God of War, seated on a bench, encircled by two muscular men, one a shape-shifted dragon and the other an elven youth.

They snuggled against the God of War; one dragon held a wine cup, while an elf fed fruits into the God of War’s mouth.

"I, for one, would rather not meet you," Xi Mu retorted coolly which made the God of War burst into joyful laughter. He slapped the butts of the two robust men in his embrace and his expression turned serious.

Those two robust men, along with the brawny men from the garden, very tactfully left the area, giving up the space for communication.

"Ahtal, you’ve completely taken the side of the witch," the God of War said with an ever more delighted smile. "You really plan to become a demon."

Now that Ahtal came to him standing with the Church of Death, it indicated that Ahtal had made up her mind to fully align with the Church of Death, and it also implied that Ahtal planned to become a demon.

This was a very pleasing matter to him.

The idea of the most dazzling talent of this era becoming a demon and then engaging in a life and death battle with him, the mere thought made him feel as if every pore in his body was laughing.

"If it weren’t for your temptation, I indeed wouldn’t have been able to make up my mind," Xi Mu stated flatly, shifting the blame for his desire to become a demon onto the God of War.

At this, the corner of the God of War’s mouth twitched:

"It’s people like you who can’t resist the urge to become demons. I merely informed you that you have the potential to become one," he replied.

In the Black Rose Kingdom, when he informed that Ahtal could become a demon, he was troubled by the Goddess of Life, who felt that he had led astray the child she had been watching over.

Now that Ahtal was shifting the blame onto him, he definitely did not want to accept it, lest the Goddess of Life cause him trouble again.

This was not because he feared the Goddess of Life, but rather the Goddess’s... matriarchal, or rather, maternal pressure made him have the illusion of being a naughty child facing his mother after doing something wrong.

"Perhaps," said Xi Mu with a complex expression before choosing to skip the topic and getting straight to the point:

"God of War, can you have your followers withdraw?"

"Of course, it’s no problem," the God of War agreed surprisingly cheerfully. "But are you ready to pay the price?"

Xi Mu: "..."

"I won’t join your fight," the God of War said, picking up a bottle of liquor from the table, snapping off the top with his hand, and pouring it into his mouth. After letting out a contented sigh, "If you want them to retreat, show your strength."

His smile took on a wicked edge.

"Kill them, and there won’t be anyone to stop you, right?"

Xi Mu was concise: "Where are they?"

The God of War glanced at the quietly standing Babylon and smiled, "That woman will take you to find them."

"Thank you," Xi Mu said with a word of thanks, nonchalantly turned around, and left. After taking a few steps, he suddenly heard a phrase.

"Ahtal, you better become a demon quickly," the God of War said, full of anticipation and with a profound meaning, "otherwise, you might not get the chance to become a demon at all."

Xi Mu did not respond, leaving on his own accord.

And the God of War continued to speak:

"Of course, you can also choose to hide in the arms of the Goddess of Life, crying out for ’mommy’ like a good baby—that way you can also survive."

"..."

Xi Mu left the garden without engaging with the God of War’s provocation and departed the church with Babylon.

Not long after they had left,

"The All-Knowing Saintess is also so concerned about a human?" the God of War tilted his head, looking into the empty void, "Is that man really worth the attention?"

He had clashed with demons and witches from different eras, and except for a very few occasions where he was outwitted, he had never been defeated.

From his perspective, the demons and witches that were born throughout this lengthy historical river were just a series of delicious desserts, capable of rekindling his soul.

However, this time was a little different, starting with Ahtal’s Talent being too formidable, which reminded him of the enigmatic woman, the Creation Witch.

And Ahtal being the focus of both the Goddess of Life and the All-Knowing Saintess made him feel there was something special about Ahtal.

What charisma does this human have?

"I do not wish for you to defile his soul and body," a calm and gentle female voice rang out, causing the God of War’s expression to turn peculiar.

He touched his head.

"I only lay a hand on those who come willingly; even though I am interested in Ahtal, I won’t resort to coercion," he said.

There was no response.

It was obvious that the All-Knowing Saintess had withdrawn her gaze.

The God of War smiled to himself, drinking alone, waiting for the strong men to return to continue keeping him company in passing the dull moments.

...

...

Outside the Cathedral of Pleasure.

"Eden, partner, I am back," Xi Mu strolled out unharmed and greeted Eden and the little mare.

He turned his head towards Babylon and explained:

"Babylon, the bishop of the Church of Pleasure, she will lead me straight to the followers of the God of War for a one-on-one duel."

"..."
