Chapter 292 They’re Here, They’re All Here
Li Chengxi didn't have a very deep impression of other gods, but one of the adventurers he had recently gone with Audel had disguised himself as a Priest of the Lord of Dawn.
According to Audel, the Lord of Dawn was a deity of Great Divine Power, and his followers were widespread.
His Doctrine was popular among both commoners and nobles.
Furthermore, this deity was also famous for his patronage of the arts.
The Church would spend large sums of money to support struggling painters, writers, and musicians.
What he was most famous for, however, was his extreme hatred of Undead Creatures, believing they disrupted the balance of life and death.
Priests of the Lord of Dawn were also very popular among adventurers because they were skilled at healing and destroying Undead Creatures.
And since the Lord of Dawn was a Benevolent Deity, one didn't have to worry about the Priests being bastards; you wouldn't have to fear being backstabbed even when forming a random party.
Li Chengxi's understanding of him was limited to what Audel had told him.
He really hadn't expected to see his True Form in person.
He shook his hand in a bit of a daze.
Li Chengxi looked at Qian Sen, who said:
"Mr. Lathander would also like to stay for a couple of days..."
"Uh... no problem, I still have empty rooms."
The upstairs and downstairs of Li Chengxi's house were the same size.
The shop was downstairs, and there were several rooms upstairs.
"Thank you very much."
After saying this, Lathander made himself right at home and went up the staircase.
After he was gone, Li Chengxi finally said to Qian Sen:
"Wait, why did he specifically come all the way here to stay for a few days?"
But Qian Sen still didn't answer immediately.
Instead, he waved toward the minivan again.
What the hell?
There's more?
Then Li Chengxi saw someone dressed as a Persian dancer get out of the car.
She was sexy and, in the literal sense of the word, freezing.
Looking at her body, she was a great beauty, but her face…
She had the head of a cat.
The image was a bit too shocking, far more intimidating than Aidas's goat legs.
As Li Chengxi looked at her, she was also sizing him up.
Her amber pupils narrowed, just like a cat stretching…
She really was a cat-head.
"You look very alluring."
"Uh… you too."
I hope when she said alluring, she didn't mean I look delicious.
The other party also shook Li Chengxi's hand, even secretly scratching his palm as she let go.
"I am Charise, the Lady of Dance."
Li Chengxi felt goosebumps rising all over him.
He braced himself and introduced himself.
Immediately, Charise walked up the stairs with a genuine catwalk swagger, her slender waist swaying…
"What on earth is going on?"
Qian Sen still acted like he hadn't heard and waved toward the minivan again.
This time, a little girl holding an umbrella got out of the car.
She looked to be in her teens, with bright eyes and pearly teeth, playful and cute.
She wore a Gothic Lolita outfit commonly seen online, and even the umbrella in her hand had a lace trim.
For Li Chengxi, she at least looked human, and for that, he was thankful.
Tapping her little red leather shoes, she hopped over to stand in front of Li Chengxi:
"Filosier."
This was much easier to accept than a cat head standing before him.
Just as Li Chengxi was about to shake her hand, he heard her continue:
"I am the Lady of Furious Waves."
...
The Lady of Furious Waves, a Great Divine Power.
A God of War who held the Divine Offices of Oceans, Water, Fury, and War, also known as the Holy Maiden of the Watery Tempest.
The Tandelon Demon Kingdom, an enemy of the Avarus Demon Kingdom, had many temples dedicated to the Lady of Furious Waves.
Audel had even specifically mentioned to Li Chengxi that the fleet he had sent flying with an egg beater came from the Tandelon Demon Kingdom.
Just from these descriptions, Li Chengxi had assumed the Lady of Furious Waves would have the heroic image of a female knight or a female pirate, the fierce kind with a muscular body and a face full of scars.
Who the hell knew she would actually appear before him in the form of an adorable Gothic Lolita.
Li Chengxi shook her hand a bit stiffly.
Filosier, however, didn't seem to think anything was wrong at all and skipped upstairs.
Then Li Chengxi saw Qian Sen wave his hand again…
Damn it, there's more?
Getting out of the car this time was a tall, slender woman who looked a bit sickly.
Her clothes were quite normal, similar to any twenty or thirty-something you'd see on the street.
It was just… no matter how Li Chengxi looked at her, he felt this person looked a bit familiar.
She also approached and shook his hand, somewhat tentatively, saying:
"Tarona, Goddess of Poisons and Plagues."
...
No wonder Li Chengxi found her familiar.
Not just familiar to his eyes, but also familiar to his hand.
Back then, when he dispelled the Divine Power of the Plague Goddess in Springlight Woodland, he had also given her a few big slaps for good measure.
Well, this was just great.
She had come knocking on his door!
She really did track me down through the internet!
Li Chengxi instantly felt extremely awkward, but on second thought, it was unlikely she would be able to recognize him.
After all, she hadn't seen what Li Chengxi looked like back then; she had simply been beaten up.
Acting flustered would only make him look suspicious.
So, Li Chengxi tried his best to shake her hand calmly.
She didn't say much either, and then, swaying with every step, she went upstairs looking as if she might collapse at any moment.
It seemed she hadn't recognized him.
It wasn't that he was afraid of anything else, he was mainly afraid she would suddenly shout "Demon God".
Aidas had said that a god's True Form should not be revealed to mortals.
She had told Section Nine the truth out of necessity, but she hadn't told them about Li Chengxi's identity.
This must be some kind of unspoken agreement between gods.
Just as Li Chengxi was secretly feeling relieved, he turned his head and saw Qian Sen waving his hand again.
Is this never going to end?
A young man with a square face that made him look particularly righteous walked towards Li Chengxi.
His flaxen hair was probably a bit long and getting in the way, so he had tied it up in a large ponytail with a hair tie.
Judging by his gait, he walked more like a soldier, very prim and proper.
This can't be another God of War, can it…
"A pleasure to meet you. I am Hylonis, the God of Heroes."
Fuck, a God of War would have been better!
Think about it.
Li Chengxi was the Demon God, and Hylonis was the God of Heroes.
What was the relationship between a Hero and a Demon King?
The good news was, Hylonis should be the last one, because Li Chengxi saw the Section Nine personnel standing by the car door close it.
But the bad news…
Li Chengxi was truly afraid he would suddenly lash out and hurt someone…
He forced a smile and had Hylonis go upstairs as well.
Li Chengxi practically grabbed Qian Sen by the collar and said:
"What the hell is going on? Why did you bring a bunch of gods to my house? I admit, I did say I wouldn't mind them staying at my place for a few days, but I never expected so many!"
Qian Sen also had a look of utter despair, his eyes so vacant he looked like he had been broken.
"You think I wanted this? Because of this, the vacation I worked so hard to apply for got canceled again."
That "again" was used brilliantly.
To hear it was heartbreaking, to listen was to weep.
"They insisted on coming to see for themselves. They said something like, 'Aidas can replenish her Divine Power, we want to try it too'."
"That doesn't sound reliable at all!"
"That's what I said too, but after I reported the situation to my superiors, the leader said, 'Let them try. They're not doing anything anyway, and if by some chance they can replenish enough Divine Power to go home, it'll save us a lot of trouble'."
...
Li Chengxi wanted to say something but held back.
Finally, he spat out:
"Your leader is a real bastard, isn't he?"
"You really see things so clearly..."
