Chapter 304 The Lava God's Confrontation with the Golden-Robed Man
Tu Man's banquet proceeded as scheduled, but two people were completely uninterested in the feast.
One of them was Tu Man, whose father-killer and clan-annihilation enemy was right in front of him. He wished he could tear his mortal enemy to pieces and grind his bones to dust.
The other one is naturally the Lava God. The moment he made eye contact with Tu Man, he was certain that the new Virtual Universe Company Inspector was the adopted son of the Tu family patriarch whom he had once destroyed!
The Lava God was not an indecisive person. He knew that unless Tu Man fell, once Tu Man truly rose to power, the destruction of him and his family was only a matter of time.
As a disciple of the "Saint Master" and Venerable Yuan Chen, how could Tu Man perish so easily? He even suspected that even if Tu Man were to perish, he might be able to be resurrected by relying on his teacher's "Saint Master's" connections!
As a veteran Marquis Immortal, the Lava God Lord's strength was close to that of a King Immortal, so he naturally knew that the strongest human beings possessed the ability to resurrect.
After the banquet ended, the Lava God hurriedly piloted his spaceship away. He had two very important things to do: one was to quietly relocate the coordinates of his divine kingdom and important family members, and the other was to contact the golden-robed man.
However, to the Lava God's surprise, when he returned to his divine kingdom, he found that the golden-robed man was already waiting for him in the temple hall, which made him feel gloomy but also a little relieved.
The golden-robed man could easily enter and leave his divine kingdom, which meant he must have reached an extremely high level in the laws of space. The fact that the other party did not directly deal with Tu Man meant that he must have something to ask of him, or at least need his help.
"How is it?" the man in the golden robe asked calmly.
The Lava God bowed deeply and solemnly said, "Please, senior, show me the way!"
The man in the golden robe smiled slightly and said, "Rong Jun—oh no, I should say Tu Man—his existence means you only have three paths to choose from!"
"One option is a fight to the death. Even setting aside the difficulty of your success, and even if you do succeed, you and your family will have nowhere to escape and will inevitably be destroyed!"
"The second option is to run away, but the universe is both vast and small. Deep within the human realm lies the Desolate Universe Kingdom, where your divine kingdom is also located."
Without external help, relying solely on oneself, one can't escape very far.
The Lava God asked respectfully, "Senior, what about the last path?"
A fervent glint appeared in the golden-robed man's eyes: "Then naturally, it's about submitting to my master, the great Zerg Queen—Lady Nara!"
The Lava God's expression hardened, and his heart sank. He hadn't expected that this golden-robed man was the soul slave of the Zerg Queen. He didn't want to be enslaved by someone else's soul; what difference would that make from being dead?
The golden-robed man was clearly aware of the Lava God's silence, which he considered an insult. He snorted coldly and said:
"You're being too presumptuous. A mere Marquis of Immortality like yourself is not worthy of being embraced by my lord—"
Upon hearing the golden-robed man's words, the Lava God secretly breathed a sigh of relief, inwardly cursing, "Who the hell would willingly give up being a normal person and be treated like someone else's dog? Not to mention, slaves are even worse than dogs."
The Lava God bowed again: "Senior, what should I do to gain Lady Nara's help?"
"How can I be sure you won't use me and then abandon me?"
Having lived for so many years, no one is a fool. If the golden-robed man doesn't put the Lava God at ease, the Lava God might as well abandon his family and run away alone.
After all, staying alive is the most important thing. As long as I'm alive, starting a new family is a piece of cake!
To be honest, if the divine kingdom weren't so difficult to transfer, he would have started doing this right away.
Seeing the Lava God Lord questioning his master, the golden-robed man immediately unleashed his aura and roared angrily:
"You, a mere Marquis of Immortality, dare to question my lord's promise?"
The Lava God scoffed, "You think you can make me a pawn with just a few words? Do you think I'm a fool?"
"I might as well just run away. At worst, I'll abandon the empire I've built over millions of years. As long as I'm still alive, I can start all over again!"
The man in the golden robe chuckled coldly: "Don't forget, I'm right here in your divine kingdom!"
The Lava God knew that he couldn't afford to be weak, especially now. Since the opponent was a Zerg, the target must be that kid Tu Man. After all, with Tu Man's talent, he was probably very high on the Zerg assassination list.
"So what? Rather than being used as a pawn and then discarded, let's have a fight now. I want to see if you can still leave safely after making such a commotion, and even if your Zerg Queen, who is lurking in the Wild Universe Kingdom, will be affected—" The Lava God's calm face belied his resolute tone.
The man in the golden robe looked very grim. He had never doubted the intelligence capabilities of the human race, one of the six top races. With their virtual universe, the human race was even better at intelligence than the insectoid race.
As long as one alien figure appears, it might be possible to follow the clues and uncover a whole host of them. There have been countless examples of this throughout countless eons. Therefore, generally speaking, once an Zerg infiltrator appears, it will either completely sever ties with its previous location or immediately relocate from its original site.
In the Wild Universe Kingdom, within the 'space interlayer' corresponding to a certain starry sky, lies a vast divine kingdom.
This magnificent divine kingdom is the location of the Zerg's infiltrative organization.
At the heart of the divine realm, atop a mountain range exceeding a million kilometers in height, stands a temple over a hundred thousand kilometers high. The temple radiates dazzling golden light, and from afar, one can vaguely discern figures moving within it.
"Owner."
In the highest hall of the temple, a man in golden robes knelt on the ground.
"How is it?" A gentle voice echoed in the hall.
The man in the golden robes respectfully said, "The Lava God needs to make a promise—"
"A promise?" Nora pondered for a moment, then said, "I understand—"
"Is he afraid of being used and then discarded?"
"That's normal. What kind of promises does he need?"
The golden-robed man quickly relayed the Lava God's words to Nara, then said disdainfully:
"For a mere title of nobility to be used by his master is an honor for him—"
"Yes, agree to it!" Nara said gently, "If we can kill a peerless genius of the human race, then the sacrifice is nothing!"
"Furthermore, at this point, he has no other choice but to follow us down this dark path! His hatred for Tu Man is irreconcilable."
"He definitely wants to eliminate the threat completely more than anyone else; the enemy of my enemy is my friend!"
The man in the golden robe knelt on the ground and respectfully said, "Yes, Master is wise indeed!"
The golden-robed man was filled with admiration and respect for Nara's magnanimity. Now that he thought about it, the Lava God's request was nothing to his great master.
If they could truly defeat a formidable enemy, it would definitely be considered a significant success for them.
