The God's Games

Yes, although the other countries had only sent their envoys, this matter was very important in King Varis's eyes, so he decided to attend the meeting in person.

And this wasn't a meeting where everything could be settled in one day.

King Varis had specifically set aside a whole week for everyone to discuss and negotiate.

As King Varis walked in with long strides, everyone stood up to show their respect for the king.

Only Hanjun is the only one who is still sitting down.

Luckily, King Varis didn't care about these formalities.

After letting everyone sit down, he calmly took his seat directly across from Hanjun and waved his hand to greet him.

Duke Dzemael then stood up from his place among the envoys, announcing that he was the representative for this meeting and also its host.

As Duke Dzemael's voice filled the room, it gradually grew quieter until only his voice could be heard.

However, when Duke Dzemael mentioned Hanjun's request in front of King Varis, many representatives from different countries stood up and strongly opposed the idea of allowing the Church of Light to spread their religion in their lands.

The meeting room immediately erupted into chaos.

Hanjun had thought that the Freehold of Veranil had already backed down, but surprisingly, in the midst of all the commotion, it was the Freehold of Veranil's delegation that stood up and spoke out as a leading voice against the proposal.

The representative from the Freehold of the Veranil was a middle-aged man named Severian Lyctor.

He was short, with a clean-shaven face and a receding hairline.

He didn't even dare look in Hanjun's direction and instead kept his gaze straight ahead as he said, "Everyone knows that the God of Light abandoned humans for a thousand years. Why should we worship the God of Light just because he's back now and allow him to continue spreading his teachings on this world?"

"A thousand years ago, under the control of the God of Light, we were so passive, abandoned, and forsaken. Now it's time for us to take the initiative!"

King Varis calmly watched everything unfold in front of him and asked, "So, what do you plan to do?"

Severian, looking determined, pointed at Hanjun and shouted, "We want to kill the god!"

Seeing the seriousness on Severian's face and hearing his words, Hanjun couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He laughed so hard that he doubled over, and the sound of his laughter echoed throughout the entire hall.

It wasn't that he didn't believe this person wouldn't try, but hearing the words "kill the god" coming out of Severian's mouth was unexpectedly funny.

These people couldn't even deal with the demons, and yet they were talking about killing a god—the very god who was willing to help them.

Were they out of their minds?

King Varis watched these two perform without showing any emotion, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking.

At the same time, Severian completely ignored Hanjun and continued, "If the Church of Light's heroes can defeat the demons, then we should take control of the Church of Light, and make the Holy Son obediently become our weapon. That way, the heroes would have to follow our orders."

These words were bold enough that the heroes who had come with Hanjun, upon hearing that everyone wanted to use them as weapons, squinted their eyes in displeasure.

For the first time, since they played the game, they felt a strong sense of anger.

Of course, these emotions were closely tied to the game's storyline and dialogue.

What Severian said also gained support from some of the countries that were against the proposal.

They believed that this plan would be more favorable for them.

Right in front of Hanjun, they discussed all the benefits of controlling the Church of Light, treating it like it was just a piece of merchandise.

"Indeed, if we control the Church of Light, we wouldn't have to worry about the demons anymore. And I heard that the heroes can die infinitely, so we could just send them to the front lines as shields."

"This way, we wouldn't need to build churches or develop followers, and the problem with the demons would be solved easily!"

Master PungPong scoffed at what he was hearing—how dare they try to use them?

If they weren't careful, the players could just log off, and then they'd never be able to find them again.

The voice of this group grew louder and louder, urging King Varis to send guards immediately to capture Hanjun and the others.

This way, they could take full control of the Church of Light.

Duke Dzemael who is sitting below lowered his head and couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.

Yes, this plan was Duke Dzemael's idea.

He had conspired with his allies to turn these countries, which already had no fondness for the Church of Light, against it and then suggested this plan to them.

However, Duke Dzemael had lied about some things.

He didn't actually want to control the Church of Light to fight against the demons.

More importantly, he didn't want the Church of Light to fight the demons at all.

But no one else knew about the Duke's schemes.

Many countries believed they could no longer be controlled by the Church of Light and felt they must bring it under their control.

So, capturing the Holy Son from the Church of Light and keeping him tightly in their grasp was now their priority.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on Hanjun, the players were unhappy.

They stood up, forming a line behind Hanjun, like knights who were guarding their lord.

They stared back at them with equally fierce looks.

Perhaps the envoys were aware of the heroes' strength; they didn't dare to make eye contact and quickly looked away, leaving the decision to King Varis and the countries that hadn't yet taken a side.

In their eyes, as long as all the countries agreed to this proposal, it wouldn't matter if the Church of Light opposed it.
