Banner of the Evil God

"Your Majesty the Great Mask of the Void, you are the guardian of emerging things in the world, the promoter of change and progress, the creator of a new life, and the king who presides over the great covenant. Please allow us to pay you the highest respect. !”

Sui Xiong sat on the throne a little awkwardly, accepting the worship and tribute of all the senior officials of Gray Tower City, headed by Old Mr. Hart.

He originally didn't want to do this, but the Hart family is very strict in doing things. The patriarch, Master Hart, said that since your Majesty is here, we have the obligation to welcome you according to the necessary etiquette. As for what you plan to do after the reception, it doesn't matter.

Sui Xiong thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. Although he really didn't like this kind of red tape, if it was just a welcoming ceremony, even if it was just out of politeness, he had to accept it.

That's why he sat here honestly and accepted the collective worship of the senior leaders of Gray Tower City, or the senior leaders of Gray Tower Sect, the Church of the God of Knowledge and Culture.

After the salute, Master Hart asked Sui Xiong curiously about his purpose.

"I don't have any 'intention', I'm just wandering around." Sui Xiong waved his tentacles nonchalantly, "I have already been to Geerten Territory and Keen Territory before, and after I leave here, I plan to go to Gallen Territory. Check it out in Sicheng.”

Master Hart nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Great beings will not have certain ideas for no reason, because they themselves are closely connected with their destiny. Your Majesty, do you suddenly want to go out for a walk?"

Sui Xiong was slightly startled and said, "I usually do things very casually, so if I suddenly go out, it means some strange sign, right?"

"It's better to believe that this kind of thing exists than not to believe that it doesn't happen." Master Hart said, "You can recall, in the past, every time you were quiet and thoughtful, did something big happen?"

Sui Xiong thought for a while and shook his head.

The term "quiet and active" is really not very useful to him, because throughout the year, he has less time to be still and more time to "move".

Among the gods, apart from Jorgardman, the god of justice who always sends out incarnations to perform chivalrous acts everywhere in the world, Sui Xiong is probably the most "lively and active". It is a common thing for him to have several clones wandering around, so it is not surprising.

But... when he thought about it more carefully, he felt that Master Hart's guess was not completely unreasonable.

Although I usually like to wander around, I rarely patrol various territories with such a purpose.

To be honest, that's not his style. Sui Xiong is neither a lion nor a dog, and certainly not a poodle. He does not have a strong sense of territory, and he is not very enthusiastic about things like "domination" and "occupation". To say that he would run to patrol the territory seems to be a bit...deviating from his usual approach.

If he really cared about territory, he would have already promoted the massive expansion of the Northwest Republic. Apart from anything else, it is a very logical thing to cross the barren mountains, expand the power to the great ice fields in the north, and bring the northern barbarians under his command.

He has Qiao Xiu, the leader of the Snow Bear Tribe, under his command. It is not difficult to develop his power into the big ice field. Moreover, he has a bad relationship with the "Arctic Alliance", the most powerful pantheon of the North Icefield, mainly because of his poor relationship with the goddess of the Northland Snowfield and Blizzard - the one commonly known as the "Queen of the North" .

This is mainly due to the conflict of clergy. Although Sui Xiong has decided to take development and progress as his clergy, if he really wants to become a god, just based on his thousands of years of practice in the frozen trench, "cold" or "frozen" and the like The priesthood is indispensable - the priesthood is not something you can have if you want it, nor can you do without it if you don't want it. Especially when it comes to becoming a god, it is almost impossible to refuse such a natural priesthood.

Of course Sui Xiong himself does not intend to obtain such a priesthood. Even if he does get this priesthood, he will probably grant it to one of his demigods and help him become the corresponding god. As long as the conditions are right, he doesn't mind ceding this part of the priesthood to the Queen of the North. But the gods of the Extreme Cold Alliance are all crazy, and the Queen of the North is no exception. Most of them would kill Sui Xiong when he got the priesthood. Unless Sui Xiong gave up the priesthood immediately, a war would be inevitable.

Of course Sui Xiong is not afraid of the Extreme Cold Alliance, but an important reason why the Extreme Cold Alliance is scary is that they have no logic and no bottom line in their actions. They have no intention of attacking mortals, something that most gods are taboo about. I don’t care, and it’s almost become a habit.

If they fight each other, they are likely to blow an extremely cold blizzard directly towards the Northwest Republic, and then they may vent their anger on a large scale, bringing serious disasters to various countries and races in the entire northern main plane.

Sui Xiong is not afraid of the extremely cold blizzard targeting the Northwest Republic. If everyone fights, he is confident that he will not lose to anyone or any god. But if the Extreme Cold Alliance were to bring a large-scale cold wave from the north and attack the entire northern part of the main plane indiscriminately, then he really had no choice.

Even though he has the ability to face the extreme cold alliance, he is confident that he can withstand it - this is also based on the premise that he does not need the "self-destruction double burst", which is a killer weapon at the bottom of the box, but he has specialization in the art, and others put it If there's a cold snap, he'll have no choice.

Just because of a little contradiction, just for a priesthood that he doesn't care about, it may bring such a disaster to the people of all ethnic groups in the northern part of the main plane. He can't do such a thing.

So, if he really intends to take the path of becoming a god, then he is destined to fight with the Extreme Cold Alliance.

But even so, Sui Xiong has never thought of expanding his power to the northern ice field. This is naturally because he is indifferent, has no desire for power, and is not a territorial maniac. For him, the saying that "Although my country is large, there is no useless land" is absolutely impossible to be established. The idea that "all under heaven is the king's land, and all the people are the king's subjects" has never existed in his mind. His conception of the future of society is probably similar to that of Taohuayuan, but if you exclude the "never communicate with each other until death", the best society is that chickens and dogs can hear each other, neighbors are harmonious, and everyone lives together in peace and stability, without entanglement with national and ethnic things.

...From this we can see that he is indeed an artist, a thorough humanist.

Now, a humanist artist runs out to inspect the territory?

Sui Xiong pondered it carefully and felt that the style of painting was a little wrong. To be honest, this really didn't look like his style.

But... what was the problem?

Sitting on the wide chair designed specifically for him, Sui Xiong fell into deep thought...
