Chapter 1569: Chapter 503: You Figured It Out So Quickly? (Part 2) After speaking, he gave a sinister smile and added, “If it’s the latter, remember to help me scrub my back. These bones have been a bit stiff lately and need relaxing.” Opposite the bathtub, Saine and Movy had faces ashen, a Little Octopus perched atop them, their Essence of Life facing a devastating threat. The bodies and minds of the two demigods suffered severe trauma. The vitality of a demigod is undeniable; dying is not easy. As long as they have time to recuperate, it won’t take long before they’re fully revived. To prevent an attack while bathing, Wayne thoughtfully placed a Little Octopus on their heads, its tentacles burrowing into the flesh under their hair, always ready to alter their forms. Yes, this is a threat! “Speak up, you two remain silent while I do all the talking. A stranger might think I’m the villain here!” Wayne snorted, stood up, and stepped out of the bathtub, exposing his bare form to the air. It was truly blatant. Seeing the two remain silent, Wayne raised his hand to play a game of eeny-meeny-miny-moe, finally stopping his fingertip at Movy. “The chosen one is excluded; Saine, the Subsidiary God, you have the good fortune of winning the chance to scrub my back.” Wayne beckoned with his finger, urging Saine to remove her dress. Movy stepped forward, loyally guarding the leader, lifting her hand to undo the black long dress. Saine lifted her hand onto Movy’s shoulder, shook her head at her, then turned to Wayne: “No need for such idle threats. Whatever you want to know, I can tell you.” No way, big sister, why confess now? Please mind the atmosphere and learn from your younger sister’s unyielding spirit during the bath. If not, then grit your teeth and get through, perhaps you’ll be seen as a righteous figure! Seeing Saine lacked any spirit of defiance, not even a touch of persistence, Wayne was greatly dissatisfied and mocked: “True to your unloyal, unfilial, unkind, unrighteous self, a traitor like you would confess before any torture. What was Goddess thinking appointing you as Subsidiary God.” Movy’s heart ignited with anger upon hearing this, taking two steps forward ready to fight Wayne. Saine held her subordinate’s shoulder, coldly looking at Wayne: “I will tell you the truth, but if you keep up this attitude…” “What’s wrong with my attitude?” Wayne swung his hand, pulling out a robe from his Personal Space, wore it, and sat grandly on the edge of the bathtub: “Prisoners should be mindful of being prisoners. I haven’t outright killed you nor changed your Essence of Life to forcibly make you my slave. I’ve spared you twice; you should be grateful.” Wayne gave Movy a harsh stare: “If you dare loyally gnash your teeth at me again, I will harshly humiliate Saine before your eyes. Heh heh. You don’t want to see her suffer, right?” Facing two furious gazes, Wayne shook his crunchy neck: “That’s better. You are captives, not guests. Drop your arrogant postures; here, no one will indulge you.” Movy closed her eyes, bowed her head, deeply feeling guilty for the humiliation Saine endured. The disgrace of a leader is the death of a minister, yet she could not even splash enemy blood. “For the sake of our wholehearted relationship, I’ll take a step back and consider your silence as surrender, forgiving your recent impolite offense.” Wayne generously waved his hand, calmly looking at Saine: “Tell me, what has Goddess said to you? On what basis do you casually frame Rone or confidently start a war in Hades?” Saine closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, clenched her fists tightly: “Goddess told me her path had reached its end, that death leads to a dead end. She sought a new path through nature’s power, but the three Subsidiary Gods couldn’t support the Divine Nation’s needs; she wanted to appoint a new God of Death.” “Among the three Subsidiary Gods, Grew is lazy and lacks motivation, Xizor joined Hades for survival and revenge, lacking loyalty to death, untrustworthy. Only I am fit for Becoming a God!” “Is that so, that’s your script…” Wayne raised his hand to stroke his chin, sorting out known clues, connecting them into a complete storyline: “Go on, about the period Goddess fell into slumber, what role did you play? Wasn’t it you who brought in nature?” “It was me, but not entirely me; Grew and Xizor also participated.” Saine’s eyelids trembled as she continued: “Following Goddess’s order, I proactively contacted Subsidiary Gods of nature, opened Hades’s gate for them, allowing a successful ambush on Goddess, obtaining part of the Laws of Death…” Halfway through her words, Movy looked incredulously at her leader, her eyes filled with confusion and shock. “I am the villain, Hades’ criminal!” “That fool over there is actually Hades’ great hero!” Those like Heya, die-hard followers, are few in the Divine Nation; in the absence of creature adherents, the vast majority of demigods and even The Church’s Great Prophets and Great Sages prioritize their faith in the Main God, followed by Subsidiary Gods. Official source is NovelHub(.)net Movy followed Saine, risking her life for her, but her core belief is the Goddess of Death, and loyalty to Saine presupposes Saine’s loyalty to death. Discovering her leader is a rebel caused Movy to be utterly bewildered. “Goddess told you to bring in nature, and you did. How blindly obedient are you!” Movy trembled with rage, subconsciously retreating two steps, getting closer to Wayne. “Goddess told you to bring in nature, and you did. Goddess told you to compete for the Throne of Death, and you compete for death…” Wayne voiced Movy’s thoughts, scoffing: “Forgive me, but that isn’t blind loyalty. Clearly, Goddess saw through your inner desires, knew you’re inherently not a stay-at-home type. Long ago, you craved the Divine Throne; Goddess’s order was a mere excuse.”
