1145 Knowledge Is Power.
"Oh yeah?" the tree father asked. "Then get the fuck out of my kingdom and start your good work outside my borders. There is plenty of land there."
The faces of the Origin gods changed. They frowned at the blatant disrespect. They are only pretending to be angry though. Everything is going according to their plan. After all, they didn't even have to ask to take part of the plane for themselves, and the single most powerful person in control of the plane didn't tell them to leave the plane completely and refuse to share it. Things are going very well for them by every definition of it.
So the god of knowledge was the only one who smiled while others looked furious. "We appreciate the generosity and would like to extend it to you too. We are forming a coalition to protect the plane against outsiders and we would like to invite you to join. We will assist each other and…"
"Let me stop you right there. I won't be joining any coalition. I don't care if outsiders invade. They can have whatever land that they can fight for. I only care about my kingdom. And as you can see, it is doing well."
She didn't give up despite the setback, "I insist. Everyone needs help sometimes."
"I am doing well on my own. I don't need help." The Tree father remained adamant in his rejection.
"I see. It would be such a shame if we formed the coalition without you. You would be our enemy instead of our ally. That would be bad for you." She threatened indirectly.
"Is that any different from what you have done currently? Have you not joined your hands together already? Are you not my enemies? Do you see me quaking in my boots?"
That honestly stumped them. They didn't expect that he would refuse to join them because joining them seemed like a good idea. After all, it is better to become friends with 99 origin gods than be their enemies. That's just common sense.
If the tree father was headstrong and so against them, he should have rejected their request to take over some parts of the plane. But he didn't reject them. So they expected that he should be amendable to the cooperation. Apparently, he is not. Fortunately, they have more plans. There are more ways to skin a godly cat.
He asked them impatiently, "Is that all? If all you've come for is to acquire my permission to share in the plane then you should leave now that you have it."
The goddess of knowledge smiled coldly this time around. "Are you going to make us?"
lightsnοvεl All the Origin gods flared their auras as one. They have communicated amongst themselves and have decided to use the forceful approach since the diplomatic approach isn't going to work. They can't ask the tree father to provide the things that they are after to them as alliance mates now. They have to force him to hand it over.
The tree father looked at them and smiled without fear. He said to them, "Tell me. What is it that you really want? And what is it that you rely on to fight me in my kingdom? Because if this is all you have to face me, then you might be in over your heads. Why don't you call for reinforcements before it is too late?"
Texiro almost lost his top. He can't believe that this god would think that 99 of them can't take him on so he wanted to roar in anger because of the underestimation but someone cut him off.
One of them answered. "Most of us will die. But it doesn't matter. We are immortal."
That's the foundation of their confidence. He is all-powerful here in his kingdom. They don't even have the advantage of numbers and they can't use their domains. The restrictions on them would be worse if they were in a proper divine plane. They wouldn't be able to use the law matrix at all or their authorities.
Most reasonable origin gods wouldn't dare to barge in on the divine plane in that situation. Not unless the gods have been weakened themselves.
Unfortunately, the divine plane has anchored to the main plane itself. This will allow those on the path of perfection to exhibit their strength just as it allows him to fully exhibit his strength in the main plane. That is why he is confident in his ability to defend his kingdom. He is not like other gods who are restricted in the main plane.
The Tree father became solemn. He appeared to be thinking deeply about his dilemma. Then he asked them, "I have to ask again. Are you sure this is all of you? I still don't see how all of you can threaten me."
Texiro lost it then. He roared, "You pompous god. You fool. This is all of us and we are more than needed to subdue you. Your pride and dominion will be broken today."
Even the calm god of knowledge who was supposed to act like the good interrogator was also incensed. She warned him sternly, "Knowledge is power and we are not ignorant. We know your weaknesses and your strengths. We didn't come here without a plan for success. You on the other hand don't know anything about us."
She is not bragging. She knows that one of his weaknesses is that he can't leave his domain at all. That's why he didn't bother to reject their request to share in the plane. One can only keep what they can protect and not what they worked for or deserve. He worked for the entire plane but he can only protect his kingdom.
These origin gods know that. They know his prowess. They know that he seems to have reached an unprecedented level of power that none of them can match. None of them have a supreme law so they can't match him. Most of them have average strength as origin gods. So they know that most of them will die. But they don't care. They are immortal.
