Dimension Game Empire Chapter 403

To break free from the shackles of the gods of disobedience and transcend to a higher level…

What exactly is this Campione talking about?!

Gods and Godslayers, aren’t they the apex…? No, why have I never doubted, never sought to explore, whether the so-called ‘god’ is truly the limit? I, who possess ‘wisdom,’ shouldn’t have overlooked this possibility.

Something is influencing, hindering me from thinking…

Seeing Athena’s suddenly hesitant expression, Xia Yan smiled slightly, inwardly praising the goddess before him. As expected of an existence whose essence is ‘wisdom.’ To be able to quickly accept and begin to perceive this anomaly.

This is very difficult.

Unlike Xia Yan, who travels through different worlds, Athena is a native of this world.

For thousands of years, common sense, the accepted ‘truth,’ those who have the courage to question it are called ‘great sages’ in history. Putting himself in Athena’s position, he wasn’t sure if he could question it.

This can be said to completely negate her past, her past stubbornness.

If he had said this to Veleslana or Melqart instead of Athena, these words would probably be completely ineffective. For the god of war, he only craves battle and victory, whether he is real or fake doesn’t matter at all.

For the god-king, he firmly believes that he is the strongest existence.

The stubbornness of the gods of disobedience is different.

But without exception, they are all incredibly stubborn guys.

“You really are a special Campione… no, a special existence.”

The girl stared unblinkingly at Xia Yan, her voice lacking inflection, looking at him without any emotion. However, the change in address made Xia Yan feel the fluctuation in the goddess’s heart.

“However, you took the Gorgon Stone, brought it to this land from afar, just to say these words to me? Do you really not want to fight me?”

As the goddess who presides over war, Athena also has a warrior’s part within her. Because of Xia Yan’s words, Athena had doubts about her own existence, but the more Xia Yan showed his specialness, the more she longed for a wonderful battle with Xia Yan.

The expectation and excitement in her heart grew stronger.

Although a woman, Athena has no less courage and belligerence than a man.

As she spoke, the girl’s silver hair, as soft as moonlight, moved without wind, and a wisp of darkness like mist began to emerge from her petite body, actually dimming the surrounding light slightly.

But—Athena did not immediately ignite her fighting spirit, but buried this emotion deep in her heart.

Because now is definitely not the best stage for the two to fight.

Lacking the ‘snake,’ incomplete her, and Xia Yan, whose spell power is exhausted.

She could feel that if she attacked Xia Yan, someone hidden in the dark would definitely come out to disturb her.

“This time I manifested on the earth, I thought pursuing the ‘snake’ was my mission, but now it seems that what truly forged a connection with me is not my ‘snake,’ but you who obtained the ‘snake.’” Athena’s childish face showed a slight smile.

Her dark eyes seemed to flash with the wisdom of an owl, and she took a deep look at Xia Yan.

“My intuition is telling me that the connection between you and me seems to be far more than it is now. Perhaps, my destiny has been inseparable from you since the moment it manifested. So—my ‘snake’ will be temporarily placed with you.”

“Can you prove it to me? The level of transcendence ‘god’—before determining whether you are talking nonsense, let me watch you and judge your capacity… If you do not have the qualifications to transcend, I will take back the ‘snake’ again and take your life.”

Leaving such a sentence, arbitrarily setting the ‘agreement’ between the two, Athena slowly disappeared into the night.

“What a capricious goddess…”

Xia Yan shrugged, his body completely relaxed.

“I think you are the least qualified to call others capricious, ‘King.’ You recklessly fought with three ‘god-kings,’ and presumptuously told the goddess of wisdom that you would transcend the level of ‘god.’ Really, I have never seen anyone as capricious as you.”

Erica smiled sweetly, her face still confident and gorgeous. The blonde knight suddenly knelt on one knee on the ground, unexpectedly, and performed the highest knightly salute.

“But it is precisely because you are more capricious than anyone else that I have the curiosity and longing of ‘can this nonsense really come true?’ Then, after seeing your strength and ambition, I confirmed—you are the one that the knight, Erica Brandelli, wants to be loyal to.”

“Please allow me to follow you and become your knight.”

“….” Xia Yan was slightly stunned.

“….Erica, you…”

Liliana also showed a surprised expression.

“I know what you want to say, Lily.” Erica rarely showed a serious expression.

“You want to say that the object of our Italian magic society’s oath of allegiance is Salvatore, right? However, just as a sword chooses its master, a knight also chooses the ‘king’ they serve. Even if I abandon the identity of the ‘Copper Black Cross’ grand knight, I still choose this way.”

As she said this, Erica looked at her childhood sweetheart with a surprised expression.

“Or does Lily think that Salvatore is more suitable to be loyal to than Lilin?”

“Of course, Mr. Lilin is better…”

Liliana, who subconsciously spoke her true thoughts, blushed and glared at Erica.

“You’re trying to trick me again…”

“I’m just helping the insincere Lily to speak her true thoughts.”

As soon as the dispute arose, the two girls subconsciously started arguing again.

Seeing this, Xia Yan shook his head amusingly.

What about the promised allegiance, why are they arguing again?

However, even if Erica didn’t say it, he couldn’t possibly give up the Italian magic forces. Even in Europe, the origin of magic, the Italian magic world is at the forefront.

Erica, who swore allegiance, and Liliana, who didn’t say it but whose body was very honest, would be very qualified to act as his spokespersons and stewards in the magic world. Among his contractors, there is no one who is proficient in politics.

Not to mention, they are far less aware of the power structure of this world than Erica and Liliana.

If Xia Yan wants to command the forces of this world, such political talents are indispensable.

While conquering this world, he will hunt down the hiding gamers. Xia Yan will gradually turn this world into a base, or rather, a kingdom, like ‘Japan’ in the Guilty Crown world.
