Global Deities: My Talent Comes from the Stars

Chapter 40 The Intervention of a Third Party

Even with dragon blood, the kobolds still have their limits in terms of physical strength.

After smashing countless skeletons, the dragonblood kobolds' hammer swings gradually slowed, and wounds began to appear on their bodies.

They were exhausted and about to be swallowed by the tide of the dead.

Suddenly, a blinding golden light shone above the fortress.

Several dog-headed monks in robes stood behind the wooden fence, pushing their palms out in unison.

Several brilliant beams of Buddhist light tore through the night and crashed into the horde of corpses outside the city gate, burning a large number of the dead to ashes and briefly clearing the defensive line.

Under the cover of the Buddha's light and firepower, the exhausted Dragonblood kobold dragged his heavy hammer and retreated in a sorry state back into the fortress.

The heavy wooden door slammed shut, shutting out the howls of the dead.

Xin Zangli and the other person lay on the high ground, watching the siege below gradually subside.

The dead could not break open the heavy wooden door, leaving only futile claw marks.

Finally, as the curse on his body dissipated.

After losing their strength, they collapsed in droves, turning into a pile of wreckage, waiting to be awakened again.

The fortress fell silent, and the kobolds hid behind the walls, preparing for a new wave of attacks.

In the wind and snow, Shinzo suddenly sensed something was wrong.

A gaze pierced through the shadow magic and swept across his back.

His heart trembled, and the runes on his wrists became slightly warm.

He immediately turned to the side, shielding Liz behind him, and drew the iron axe from his waist with his right hand.

But that gaze was only briefly extended before being withdrawn.

The wind and snow continued all around, and nothing had happened, as if it had all been an illusion.

……

High above the heavens.

Sun Lang's divine power, which he had unleashed upon the snowfield, was forcibly severed.

Liang Jiu stepped out of the void and came to stand in front of him.

"What? You want a piece of the pie too?" Sun Lang suppressed the backlash of his divine power, his face ashen. "You should be able to see the current situation clearly. In this Godless Realm, that woman Li Qinggu has the upper hand. If we don't join forces, she'll probably be the winner."

Li Qinggu? That girl's name?

The name does fit well with the spirits and relatives below.

Liang Jiu looked at him and asked, "Join forces? What makes you think I can't handle the two of you?"

"Even if you can handle it, you won't have a chance to get the resources." Sun Lang revealed his trump card, "Li Qinggu has a resource point that can be taken out of the Divine Realm. A mine that can continuously produce metal ore. If we drive her out of the game, we can split the resource point fifty-fifty."

Liang Jiu remained silent.

He looked at Sun Lang across from him and found it somewhat amusing.

A cornered beast, driven to the brink of despair, still dares to stand before the table and make such demands.

I thought he would be more restrained after suffering at Li Qinggu's hands.

Sun Lang wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the sarcasm in Liang Jiu's eyes.

"I saw your familiar through Monk's perspective," Sun Lang said, staring at Liang Jiu. "As a human familiar, he is indeed ridiculously strong, with astonishing potential. But I don't believe all your familiars are of this level. In a real fight, your strength won't surpass mine by much."

"The profits from the mine are split 60/40 between you and me. We'll call it even. I can also share some of the military equipment built by the indigenous people of Nanbang with you."

After listening, Liang Jiu finally spoke.

"Don't you understand the situation yet?"

Liang Jiu looked at him: "If I were to go to Li Qinggu now, she would only offer a higher price than you. She has you figured out right now, and she doesn't want to see a fully-fledged third party suddenly interfere."

Sun Lang's expression changed slightly, but he couldn't retaliate.

This is true; his gains in the Godless Realm were certainly not as great as those of that woman.

"How about this," Liang Jiu proposed, "that metal mine is mine. As for the spoils of war after kicking Li Qinggu out of the game, we'll divide them later."

"You think I've taken the whole mineral vein? Do you really think I'm made of clay?!" Sun Lang gritted his teeth, the scales on his body showing, as if he were extremely angry.

"Everyone spent a lot of Federal Currency in the real world to buy tickets to this Unclaimed Divine Realm." But Liang Jiu ignored his anger. "Do you want to squander all your resources here and leave with nothing, or do you want to cooperate with me and at least bring back some spoils to recoup your investment?"

"A win-win situation is always better than you losing alone, right?"

Golden divine power flowed from Liang Jiu's body. The divine body, constructed from the faith of the Wanren tribe, suppressed Sun Lang's divinity.

Despite his reluctance, Sun Lang lowered his head.

"What are you planning to do?"

……

"What are you planning to do?"

Liz asked, lying in the snowdrift.

The tide of the dead has receded.

The dragon-blooded dog-headed men in the stronghold were now exhausted, leaving their defenses most vulnerable.

This was the perfect opportunity for them to infiltrate and find out the details.

But the chill of being spied on hadn't dissipated yet, and the hunter's instincts warned Xin Zang, plunging him into a dilemma.

There might be a trap ahead; the stronghold is home to several dragonblood superhumans who are no less powerful than Monk.

There are also well-organized groups of common kobold infantry, kobold monks, and mages.

Once exposed, he could easily use his supernatural powers to escape, but Liz might not be able to get away unscathed.

On the other hand, they have only figured out the location of the kobolds, but they still have no clue where the undead that are covering the mountains and fields came from.

Currently weighing the pros and cons.

A silhouette suddenly flashed across the edge of the distant, withered forest.

"What's that?" Liz also noticed the commotion.

Drow elves, who live deep underground, are born with night vision abilities far exceeding those of humans.

She easily saw through the figure's true form.

"A human in a black robe...?" Liz looked at Xin Zang with some surprise. "Your kind?"

"Impossible. I've never heard of any scouts other than myself being sent here. They must be humans from other races," Xin Zang said.

"Yeah, that guy's skinny like a withered tree branch, looks like he's underdeveloped, and doesn't look like you at all," Liz teased.

"Follow him." Xin Zang immediately changed targets. "How long can your shadow magic last?"

Liss gripped his hand tightly, and dark magic surged once more, merging their figures into the night.

"Don't worry, big boy." She smiled. "Before the sun rises, the night is always my domain."
