Chapter 1861 Founding The Eternal Kingdom. II
"This works in your favor." Zeus frowned as he gazed at the three rulers. REaad updated stories at n/o/vel/bin(.)com
"As unigins, don't you value strength as king?" Amun-Ra uttered coldly, "We are the strongest, which sets us at the peak of the pyramid. If anyone has a problem with it, you are free to challenge any of us."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The unigins went silent, none of them was dumb enough to challenge a ruler on their own...They barely could handle them while in big groups, don't even mention fighting them solo.
"Since no one wants to challenge us, we will continue occupying the main area around the universe's heart."
The first ruler waved his hand and showed them a holographic map separated into multiple zones. Each zone was covered in different degrees of white mist.
The smallest zone was the one near the universe's heart, but it had the most amount of white mist, making the unigins realize that the best territories were the ones near the heart.
"This is what we have envisioned for the celestial kingdom." Medusa explained, "There will be the main central zone, the five upper celestial zones, and the rest will be considered as lesser celestial zones."
"Of course, your voting power depends on the zone occupied."
"Choose a zone and if others choose the same zone, you will fight for it," Amun-Ra said.
The unigins noticed that there were enough zones for each of them, which meant, that even if one decided to avoid fights, he would still have a territory in the kingdom.
This pleased some of them.
"I will take this." Artemis happily picked one of the lesser zones, having no interest in climbing the hierarchy.
"This is good enough for me." Aeolus did the same while yawning widely.
Some unigins also followed in their footsteps and picked the lowest-ranked zone from the get-go...But, the majority seem to have their eyes on the five upper celestial zones.
"I will be taking this, I hope no one has a problem with it," Ares uttered with a faint smile as he picked the best possible zone under the central zone.
"Tsk."
Hephaestus, Poseidon, and the other ambitious unigins could only click their tongues in irritation and helplessness.
What defines aura? Ares was the definition of aura as no one wanted to f*ck with him.
'Don't worry, they were boring and short.' Eris replied calmly, 'When it comes to 1v1, the strength difference between upper unigins and lower is quite unbridgeable.'
'True.' Felix nodded in agreement.
He wasn't too interested in the battles as he knew that the top unigins wouldn't target each other while the lesser ones could not defeat them without the assist of divinities...Thus, he stayed on the subject by asking Lord Hades to clarify what happened later on.
After all, he shouldn't call his peers traitors just for this alone.
"You want to know?" Lord Hades narrowed his eyes coldly.
"Yes."
Without further ado, Lord Hades created a celestial mirror, showing the three rulers contacting him while he was sitting on his throne.
'Hades,' the First Ruler spoke with a stern tone, "We come to you again with an offer. Join the Eternal Kingdom and you can retain your control over your realm."
"Oh? What's the catch?" Lord Hades asked coldly.
"There is no catch, we just hope that you can spare some spirits when we make our request."
"Spirits? What do you want to do with them?" Lord Hades narrowed his eyes.
"I am afraid we can't share that."
"You don't have to." Lord Hades sneered, "It's obvious you want to use them to open up the universe's heart."
"..."
"Ever since you started following the tablet, your actions and motives are more predictable than the movement of a star system."
"Hades..."
"I have already given you my answer," Lord Hades shut it down immediately, "The Spirit Realm is a sanctuary. It is not a tool for your ambitions."
The second ruler's tone grew colder, "Think of the potential, Hades. The spirits here could be guided and harnessed for the greater good. You could be a part of something monumental instead of watching them wander about aimlessly for eternity."
Lord Hades' expression darkened, his patience waning. "You see only power and control. The spirits deserve peace, not manipulation. I will not allow you to desecrate this realm."
"Then, your refusal leaves us no choice, Hades. The Spirit Realm is too important. If you will not join us willingly, we will take it by force." Medusa threatened coldly.
"You would dare to challenge the sanctity of this realm?" Lord Hades' eyes blazed with anger as he realized their intent.
"We must, for the sake of our vision." The first ruler uttered calmly.
