Chapter 263 The Alliance is Formed
Whether online or looking out the window at the street, everything was the same as usual.
The foolish netizens were still being foolish, and the passersby hurrying along were still busy making a living.
No one would have imagined that they were currently in a terrifying situation where a slight misstep could lead to the launch of nuclear weapons.
Qian Sen dropped Aidas off and left.
He had work to attend to, and soon, only Li Chengxi and Aidas remained in the room.
It wasn't his first time interacting with a transmigrator, but this one was a god…
"Relax a little, you don't need to be so nervous. Section Nine will handle it."
Regardless, he needed to help her relax first.
Aidas nodded and obediently sat on the sofa.
"My name is Li Chengxi, I'm the owner of this shop. If you need anything, you can tell me anytime."
"Hello, this is our first time meeting, King of Demon Kings, Demon God."
"Uh..."
"You're hiding your identity, I know. It's best not to reveal one's status as a god to mortals."
"No, wait a minute, how did you know I'm the Demon God?"
Aidas showed a confused expression.
"Gods can tell each other's divinity at a glance. Isn't that common sense?"
You can tell at a glance?
I can't tell at all.
From Li Chengxi's perspective, Aidas was just a strange creature with a human torso and goat legs, almost a monster.
Suddenly, Li Chengxi thought of the Ring of the Demon King on his hand.
He gently turned the Ring of Sight, and in the elevated view, Li Chengxi saw Aidas's entire body shimmering with a dazzling, warm radiance.
But the pedestrians on the street outside looked the same as always.
Perhaps this was the difference in vision between gods and humans.
"Alright, I get it now. But how do you know me?"
Last night, Aidas had mentioned knowing Li Chengxi, but he had no memory of it.
"Oh, I'm sorry, my introduction was incomplete."
Aidas sat up straight and said, "I am the guardian of springs and peace, of trees, the Verdant Goddess, Aidas."
"Springs... you're the goddess worshipped by the druids of Springlight Woodland?"
"I am."
She bowed her head, as if in thanks.
"Thank you, Lord Demon God, for dispelling the divine power of the Lady of Plagues. I was too weak and truly had no way to deal with it."
No wonder Aidas said she knew Li Chengxi.
Back then, he had even spoken with Aidas's druids through pigeons.
Perhaps it was because of this connection that when Aidas was shot down, she landed right next to Li Chengxi.
"I once tried to contact you, but Sionlia warned me that the Demon God's alignment was unclear and that I shouldn't make rash contact. That's why I never had the chance to thank you."
"Who is Sionlia?"
"The Sprout Goddess, my sister. We, with the Father of the Oak at our core, form the Gods of Nature."
Li Chengxi had always been fighting alone.
So gods had alliances too?
"Did you become gods together?"
"No, we were gods from birth."
Aidas was a little puzzled.
"Are you not, Lord Demon God?"
"No, I don't even know when I became a god."
If he had to say, it was probably when he opened the game AAI.
"Oh, then your situation is similar to the Good Luck Drunkard."
"Uh... this drunkard, is he also a god?"
"Yes, he was drunk and made a bet with someone, and then somehow he became a god."
Ascending to godhood seemed way too casual.
Ascending to godhood was not that easy.
There were many secrets that only gods knew, and they were very guarded about these secrets.
After all, there were already many gods; there was no need to create more trouble for themselves.
"How long have you been on Earth, Lord Demon God?"
"I've always been here... Speaking of which, you know about Earth?"
"I've heard about it from followers who have been to Earth. The existence of Earth is no secret, but a situation like this time..."
Aidas shook her head.
"It's never happened before. I don't know how many gods were shot down. I hope my allies and sisters are all safe."
Li Chengxi comforted her, "Section Nine is already searching. I believe there will be news soon."
"Thank you."
"By the way, why did you fall into a state of suspended animation?"
"It might have something to do with my unfamiliarity with descending to the mortal world."
She looked down at her hands and said, "I can feel that my divine power has almost completely vanished. Although the connection to the Divine Realm hasn't disappeared, I can't return. Right now, I probably only have abilities around level thirty."
In other words, equivalent to a golem.
"I was careless before and didn't contain my power from leaking out. And without a supply of divine power, I fell into a state of suspended animation. It's all thanks to your divine power supply, Lord Demon God."
"But I didn't do anything."
"You're too modest. The power you radiate is enough to support my normal activities."
Li Chengxi looked around himself.
Where was this divine power radiating from?
Noticing Li Chengxi's small movements, Aidas asked strangely, "Have you never controlled your divine power?"
"I didn't even know I had such a thing..."
"How strange. It's usually operated as if by instinct. Don't you have allies, Lord Demon God? Many deities will try to win over a newcomer who has ascended to godhood. They would tell you this kind of common knowledge."
"Other than slapping the Lady of Plagues's face, I haven't really had contact with any other deities."
"Slapped... her face?"
"Yes, a literal slap."
Aidas's eyes widened.
She only knew that the Demon God had acted to eliminate the toxins in Springlight Woodland, but she never imagined he had also slapped the Lady of Plagues's face.
"You... uh, you are as powerful as the legends say."
"You flatter me."
In any case, Li Chengxi took it as a compliment.
"Since you don't have any allies, would you like to form an alliance with me?"
Aidas raised her palm, seemingly indicating a handshake with Li Chengxi.
"I will teach you knowledge related to deities. This is knowledge only gods know, and no mortal understands it. But I hope that while I am on Earth, I can receive your protection."
"Protection is too strong a word, but in any case, you can live at my place until this matter is resolved."
Although he said that, Li Chengxi did not immediately go to shake her hand.
Forming an alliance with a god not only meant gaining the favor of that god's other allies, but also gaining their enemies.
In other words, risk and benefit coexisted.
But the terms Aidas offered were too tempting.
As the Demon God, Li Chengxi had always been fumbling in the dark, having to figure almost everything out on his own.
He also really wanted to understand what was going on.
After thinking it over and over, Li Chengxi took Aidas's hand.
"I do indeed need allies."
"Then, the alliance is formed."
As soon as she finished speaking, golden patterns lit up on the backs of both their hands.
A Holy Emblem of an open palm appeared on the back of Aidas's hand, and a Holy Emblem resembling a waterfall appeared on the back of Li Chengxi's hand.
However, this only lasted for a few seconds.
When they let go of each other's hands, the Holy Emblems vanished.
At this moment, when Li Chengxi looked at Aidas, he had a strange feeling.
It was like they were sisters connected by blood.
The wariness towards a stranger vanished at the same time, and it felt like they were old friends who had known each other for years.
This was the effect of a divine pact.
Aidas was also much more relaxed than before.
She stretched, and the thorny lingerie she wore could not conceal her fine figure at all, at least not the upper half.
She then rubbed her stomach.
"I have a strange feeling. My abdomen feels somewhat empty, and I kind of want to eat something."
"You must be hungry."
"Hungry? Is this what hunger feels like? Gods don't get hungry. I've never felt this before."
She really was a second-generation god...
