Chapter 436 The Council of Gods
Chapter 436 The Council of Gods
An aged voice rang out from the main seat. Zanta looked up and saw an older man with white hair and four eyes.
"Hmph! I didn't do anything..."
Zanta's tone remained nonchalant, but he didn't continue his provocative behavior. Instead, he slowly walked to a seat near the front of the council chamber and sat down.
After a while, as several deities arrived one after another, there was no more sound from the gate.
"Alright, everyone's here, right?"
The bespectacled old man spoke again. Although he said this, there were actually many empty seats. However, the old man only glanced at them and did not say anything.
However, the fact that the four-eyed old man didn't say anything didn't mean that the others wouldn't be surprised. Seeing that the number of people was far less than before, the gods below also started to discuss among themselves.
"It seems like a lot of people are missing? Why didn't they come?"
"Haven't you heard about what's been happening lately...?"
"What happened?"
"Terrible, truly terrifying..."
Hearing the constant chatter below, the bespectacled old man slowly closed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly slammed his hand on the table.
boom! ! !
"quiet!"
Although the voice wasn't loud, it reached the ears of everyone present, and upon hearing it, everyone immediately fell silent, indicating that the old man held considerable authority among them.
That's true, after all, he's one of the strongest gods in this world, you can't argue with that.
After everyone had quieted down, the old man spoke again:
"I'm sure everyone has heard about what's been happening lately. Even if you haven't, it's okay. I'll tell you all about it here..."
"The demon kings... have been released!"
After saying this, the old man did not speak again, but instead quietly surveyed the area below with his calm and unperturbed gaze.
"Huh??? Is this the Demon King I'm thinking of? Why were they released?"
"I knew the rumors were true. It seems those gods who didn't come are probably in grave danger?"
"Aren't they subject to restrictions? Why are they allowed to come to our world?"
"What should we do? Those are Demon Kings! They are described as extremely terrifying beings by those great demons!"
"Quiet down, quiet down! Let Lord Lun finish speaking!"
As expected, this statement caused an uproar. Even those who already knew were still shocked upon hearing the news.
That's a Demon King level being, the most powerful being among demons. Even ordinary great demons are difficult for them to deal with. Such a being would probably wipe them all out!
No god wants to die; after all, they are used to being high above others every day and naturally can't bear to give up such a life.
However, the fact that the Demon King has been released means that they must face a Demon King-level opponent.
Can they really win?
Everyone turned their attention to the bespectacled old man sitting in the main seat.
He is the Lord Lun that others refer to. He has always been the one who makes decisions in the Council of Gods, after all, he is the oldest and the strongest among them.
"The Demon King level has indeed been released, there is no doubt about that."
"According to the intelligence I've gathered, some of our comrades have already been killed. You've probably guessed what's going on by seeing those empty seats..."
"Demons have a natural advantage over us, but Demon Kings are indeed quite difficult to deal with..."
"But the most urgent task right now is not to show fear here, but to find a way to solve this problem, which is why I gathered everyone here!"
After listening to what Lord Lun said, everyone calmed down a bit.
Yes, there's no use being anxious now. After all, as long as we're in this world, we'll be hunted down by demons. Instead of worrying about how powerful the demons are, we should think about how to defeat them.
But... they don't know how to solve it either?
"Lord Naren, do you have a solution?"
The gods looked at the four-eyed old man with more expectation in their eyes. As the leader of the gods, they naturally hoped that he could find a solution.
However, facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, the bespectacled old man gently shook his head.
"If it's a head-on confrontation, our chances of winning are slim; it's basically a nine-out-of-ten chance of death."
"I once ventured into the Kanto Ice Layer and fought one of the Demon Kings... but..."
"We couldn't beat them."
The old man with four eyes' words made everyone's expressions freeze. If even the powerful Lord Lun couldn't do anything about it, then wouldn't they just have to wait to die?
These words caused a stir among the crowd, who looked panicked, apparently fearing the approaching evil spirit.
"Old man, are you really out of ideas?"
Just then, Zanta, who had been silent until now, spoke up.
He looked at the bespectacled old man with a questioning gaze.
He didn't believe the old man was helpless. After all, of all the gods present, the only one he truly respected was this four-eyed old man. This guy was incredibly cunning; it was impossible for him to be completely without a solution.
If that were the case, he would have disappeared long ago.
Hearing Zanta's words, the gods once again focused their attention on the old man, hoping that he could come up with a way to save everyone.
After a moment of silence, the bespectacled old man slowly spoke:
"Actually...it's not entirely impossible...but..."
As the four-eyed old man's lips opened and closed, the expressions on the gods' faces became extremely interesting, sometimes showing shock, sometimes showing worry.
Overall, however, a glimmer of hope finally appeared in their eyes.

"This is it..."
The Sloth Demon King led Lin Tian and the other to a place not far from a demon cave. Then, he pointed to the entrance of the cave and slowly said:
"This is where Lust resides. I can sense her presence; she should be inside the cave right now."
"Shall we go in together?"
After speaking, the Sloth Demon King looked at Lin Tian with a probing gaze, and Lin Tian's response was:
"Let's go in together, but I need to disguise myself first..."
Bang bang!
As the two white wisps of smoke exploded, Lin Tian and Kang Jinxingjun transformed into two lazy demons under the Lazy Demon King's command. Upon seeing such a method, the Lazy Demon King was slightly shocked.
It seems this is how they infiltrated their cave...
"Let's go."
