Chapter 404

In the deep and quiet darkness, an old dragon darker than the darkness was pondering over something.

In fact, the plan was fully prepared; he was only waiting for the implementation.

But the dragon began to hesitate on the plan.

His experiences accumulated over the years told him that it wasn’t a good idea to put the plan into action now.

Indeed, the jellyfish was having a leisurely time and had dropped his guard. If the old dragon attacked him now, he might succeed. But after he succeeded in attacking the jellyfish, the jellyfish would take fierce revenge, and that made the dragon worry too much.

The scene of the jellyfish killing two gods in those years was still fresh in all the gods’ minds. The old dragon thought that he was stronger than those two gods who were high in deity but were not good at fighting. If he were going to fight with one of them, he would definitely win. But if he had to fight with the two of them, he might be at risk.

If he was not forced to challenge those two gods, he would never do such a thing.

But that jellyfish did and won.

Although after winning, the jellyfish seemed to suffer a lot and took a long time to recover, if it as the old dragon that was fighting with those two gods, he would suffer more than the jellyfish.

Of course, the jellyfish did not have followers and could only rely on himself at that time. The old dragon had many subordinates, and he could also turn to some helpers whom he had contacted beforehand. However, if he asked his subordinates to fight, they would suffer great losses; if he wanted to turn to his helpers, he would pay a lot of money, and that made the stingy old dragon feel ache.

What’s more… now the jellyfish was not alone. He had friends, subordinates and reliable allies.

During this period, the old dragon also contacted many gods. Theoretically speaking, he could resist the attack of the jellyfish and his helpers, making the two sides fight face to face. But if he really did it in this way, he would feel worthless.

Even if the old dragon killed the jellyfish, he would feel worthless if he suffered great losses in the fight!

So even if the old dragon felt hatred and malice toward the jellyfish, he had to think it over whether to cancel the plan or not.

However, he did not cancel the attack plan in the end.

The reason was simple—he could not wait anymore!

Since the jellyfish dug the underground maze and changed it into an amusement park, Cladema’s clergy had been a little stable.

The dragon’s clergy consisted of three parts: the underground cave that he stole, the underground relics occupied by management, and the underground maze that he was planning.

According to the dragon’s plan, when the three parts of his clergy were completed, he could claim to be the master of the underground and establish an underground city holy pedigree. The dragon would recruit some weak divines such as shadows, earth elements, and minerals, as his god followers, and they would formally step into the second row of the Pantheon to sit on equal footing with all the gods.

By that time, he would take actions toward clergies like the underground veins and underground lava.

With every clergy he took, he would have a higher mastery of the underground. When he reached a certain level, he would be worthy of being the master of the underground.

At that time, he would contact those gods who were contradictory to the Natural God System and fight with them in order to kill the God of Earth and control the whole land.

When this was completed, the next step was to fight with the God of Earth Element and expand his scope of clergy.

When all those clergies were in hand, the dragon’s strength may be enough to challenge the jellyfish god.

There should be a new master in the vast world!

The old, evil black dragon could not help but laugh for a long time when thinking about this.

After laughing, he had to face reality.

The idea was good, but the reality was that his long-planned clergy of the underground maze was about to leave him. Even the clergy of the underground relics was beginning to show signs of instability.

He was aware that all those changes were the result of a change in identity.

The clergies in the Natural God System were not fixed, and they were also related to people’s cognition. For example, he generally believed that the clergy of flood was controlled by only one god. But as long as the other gods had some understanding and mastery of the clergy of flood, the clergy of flood would deviate and eventually fall to the hands of that god.

Cladema himself obtained the clergy of the underground relics in this way, so he was very familiar with that situation.

For all the people in the world, the jellyfish god who had excavated the world’s largest underground maze and built it into a huge adventure park was undoubtedly an expert in the underground maze. Compared to him, those gods were just on a small scale, and they were far from the maze built by the jellyfish. If anyone was fit to be the god of the underground maze, it must be the Void Mask.

This had made all of Cladema’s efforts wasted. If the Void Mask had planned to compete for the clergy of the underground maze, Cladema would lose completely.

If that were the case, perhaps Cladema could still tolerate it. After all, the Void Mask did not show any intention of contending for that clergy. And Cladema didn’t feel that this big jellyfish would turn around and fight for this clergy either.

But, Cladema could not tolerate the instability of the clergy of the underground relics.

He knew that it was not the intention of the Void Mask, but the fact was that the Void Mask was still expanding and perfecting the huge underground maze. That made people become more and more aware of his good underground work. Except for the natural underground caves that had nothing to do with him, as long as they were man-made underground facilities, people would feel that the Void Mask was the most appropriate master.

Among them, there also included the clergy of the underground relics.

Cladema realized this point and decided to fight with the Void Mask fiercely. He wanted to knock down the Void Mask’s prestige and sweep the floor with him so that everyone would know only the powerful black dragon, Cladema, from ancient times to now had the ability to control everything in the underground. Whether it was natural or man-made, all underground things should belong to Cladema!

Therefore, Cladema drew up his plan. The first step of the plan was to lead the jellyfish out of his territory and into the battlefield that had been prepared before by attacking the jellyfish’s underground maze.

In the past few years, Cladema had done such kinds of things more than once.

For example, Cladema also used this method to kill the former God of Underground Caves. At that time, he was just a semi-god, and he attacked the main temple of the former god of the underground caves, killing hundreds of his clergymen including his pontiffs. This had made the former God of Underground Caves so angry that he pursued Coredema at any risk.

The former God of Underground Caves was a monster with a cow head and was very good at fighting at close distance. But he was brought to a place where he could not use his abilities at all and was defeated in the magic battle.

Then Cladema took advantage of the victory and pursued, killing this weak divine and seizing his clergy of underground caves.

Many gods thought it was a despicable plot, but Cladema was proud of it and thought it was a manifestation of his wisdom.

Now he had to use his wisdom again.

After examining his plan for the last time and making sure it was all right, Cladema, the God of Underground Caves and Relics lifted his head and roared fiercely.

With this roar, the adventure paradise beneath the Void City was shaking. The soil, rocks and all the buildings were shaking, and the sky, walls, and pillars were filled with huge cracks as if they were about to collapse.

Cladema launched a terrible attack with all his powers acclimated in the clergy of the underground maze.
