Chapter 276: Chapter 67: The Bet_3
“I bet not a single human dares to draw their sword against the gods, do you?”
By voicing his opinion first, the Sea Emperor didn’t think they would choose to ‘resist’ with ‘force’ in the face of the deity’s manipulation of natural forces. That way, at least he wouldn’t lose.

Meanwhile, within Aurora City.
The water churned continuously, pouring out inch by inch from the river not far from the city walls, as if the downstream was blocked, the river water spilling out towards both banks without a place to go.
At the end of the land, a blue ‘line’ gradually revealed its traces, followed by a slight, deafening roar of beasts.
“Your Excellency.”
Next to the Sacred Fire, High Priest Momon had, at some point, taken off his ceremonial robe adorned with lightning patterns. He stood beside a vague and undefined mist, his expression respectful and submissive.
“As per your prior instructions, everything has been arranged. However, about the previous oracle... ”
“As for now... let’s enjoy this rare spectacle together.”
“Thank you very much, Your Excellency. The destruction of Bronze Humanity is indeed a rare sight to behold.”
Bowing slightly, as if he didn’t care that the ‘spectacle’ to be ‘enjoyed’ was the death of his kind, Momon respectfully replied.
Contrary to his expectations, the demon negated his assumption.
“No, that’s not what I’m referring to.”
“What I call ‘a rare sight to behold’ is the death of this Sea God’s Divine Child who rides the waves.”
Speaking leisurely, Mephisto seemed to have chuckled.
“The death of a Divine Child is quite interesting, isn’t it?”
“...Yes.”
Turning his head towards the direction where the sounds of the waves and beastly roars came from, although Momon’s gaze could not penetrate the barrier, for some reason, he indeed felt a bit of anticipation at that moment.
In his heart, Momon really wanted to know, when the offspring of deities died, how different were they from mortals?
