Chapter 1799: RitualThe clan leader looked into the surroundings in frustration.
Sam's arrival caught him off guard. He didn't expect that whatever that is coming will directly enter his clan grounds like that.
Sam just came, hit, took, and left.
The clan leader was too busy activating the formations and controlling them, that he didn't even have a chance to come here. Everything happened in two minutes. Fast is a massive understatement.
Meanwhile, Sam reappeared far away from the city in the cave.
Maya was stunned when she looked at Sam's state.
He didn't look damaged or injured, but he looked a bit tired and haggard.
He threw Dayus to the side and brought the child to her.
"Here is the third child. This time, I was a bit reckless, can you check up on the child once again?"
Sam said while panting. It might have looked like he blocked the attack with no effort, but it took everything out of him. Fighting head on with a Divine Plan cultivator is nowhere near child's play.
Maya looked at Dayus and asked.
"Who is that guy?"
"A guy tasked with keeping your child with the father and a guy who is going to do a really huge favor for me."
Sam walked towards Dayus and sat in front of him.
He is a bit exhausted and needs to recover a bit. But he doesn't have too much time. He took out liquid energy cylinders and started absorbing energy from them crazily.
"So, Dayus. Your god Zeus and the rest of the Olympians are once again playing dirty. I don't really care that much if they are trying to use traps and tricks, but they are constantly going after my students with cultivators way out of their league.
Since it is war, I will just give it a pass. But I can't really let my students die, now can I?
So, you are going to help me stop the gods and all their lackeys from killing my students and my dear friend. If you so much as make a wrong move, I will fucking torture you throughout the rest of the task.
I will target you in every upcoming mission. I won't give a fuck about the game anymore and I will start playing a game of cat and mouse with you. I will make squeal like a little girl in pain every time I get my hands on you and you know as well as I that I will get my hands on you whenever I want, however, I want."
"What do you want with me?"
"Just stay put and do as I say. Everything, to the teeth. Do you understand?"
Dayus didn't say anything and just stayed silent.
Sam didn't care about how he is going to react. Because he is going to force Dayus to do whatever he wants him to do.
Sam stood up after he recovered some of his energy and turned to Maya.
"I want to find an organization close to this place. An organization that follows any Olympian god. It would be great if Zeus is the one they are worshipping. You were the Divine Lady that worshipped the gods. Tell me where to find them."
Maya didn't even ask what does she want them for. But she directly went into deep thought and gave her a location.
"It is a very small organization. I don't know if it would be helpful though."
"Can they perform the ritual to contact Zeus?"
"Yes. They can."
"Then that is good enough. Thank you. Can you tell me the rough location?"
Maya gave him the exact location.
Sam took Dayus and took the dimensional drifter to take Dayus to that place.
He arrived in front of the clan. He looked at the guards and said.
"I need you to bring the head of your clan right here right now. Or I will force my way into your clan and it will not be pretty."
The guards didn't know what to say for a moment. But Sam's aura told them that they should do whatever he told them to do. So, they left and informed their clan head, who came running as he also sensed Sam's aura from far away.
"I need to use your praying room. I need to perform a ritual to talk with Zeus. In exchange, I will give you a formation blueprint that will protect your clan from even fifty peak Astral Plane cultivators ganged up on you.
Don't ask me for any details. Don't ask me any questions. All I need to know is whether you agree or not. But do remember that, I will go to the prayer room one way or the other. You understand?"
The clan head is smart. He didn't really think too much and just took the deal directly.
Sam was led to the temple. He dragged Dayus into the room and got ready to perform the ritual.
"Do you really think, Zeus, will just let go of a chance to hurt you"
"You don't think he will?"
"No, at least not for me. He doesn't care much about me. In fact, he hates you more than he cares about me. He would rather see me killed than see you get away with being safe.
I thought you are smart. You should understand that."
"No Dayus, you are just dumb to understand the basic nature of the god that is babysitting you all this while. He doesn't really care about you, but he cares about his own name and pride. You are unfortunately falling short of all of his expectations.
But still, you are what he wants if he doesn't want to drop out in the middle of this stupid game and he believes that he has a chance to make a comeback as long as you are alive.
That is the only reason that actually kept you alive. To help me manipulate the god's behavior and it just happened to be the day that you come in handy."
Sam spoke and started the ritual. But at this exact moment, the statue of Zeus in the middle of the temple, glowed as if the ritual succeeded, but the next second, it has broken.
