Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 70.1: I’ll Be Your Concubine, How About That? (1)

Against an indestructible evil god of the Nether Realm, the best option would always be to use another indestructible evil god of the Nether Realm.

Of course.

It would be even better if there was a group of them.

For a long time, as a fatal threat to the mortal world, the Nether Realm had already caused countless apocalyptic catastrophes in the mortal world.

Often, what could stop the Nether Realm was not external forces, but internal strife within the factions of the Nether Realm.

Notwithstanding the history of the past, if Justice could work together with the ten evil gods that arrived and share Gold Village before sending an army of fiends to invade the mortal world…

Rayne would have found himself entering the apocalyptic war today.

By working together, the factions of the Nether Realm could release a terrifying power that could sweep through the mortal world and crush Order.

However, the gods of the Nether Realm were forever immersed in their swindling and mutual attacks. Furthermore, they enjoyed it endlessly.

That was not ridiculous at all.

After all, the evil gods were projections of the emotions of all living beings in the mortal world.

As for how living beings reacted to such issues in the mortal world... Well, wasn’t it obvious?

After ending the invasion of the Nether Realm, Rayne obtained some unexpected gains.

He rubbed his eyes, experiencing a strange sensation.

There seemed to be... some other components mixed in the blessing of the dragon eyes given to Rayne.

Was that the blessing of the Blood Empress?

Or was it her curse?

Rayne did not know for the time being.

On the other side.

As the Blood Empress retreated, the Nether Realm corruption ended.

Edaline finally had a chance to heave a sigh of relief.

Indeed, her arrogance had caused her to confuse the strongest evil god of the Nether Realm with the other third-rate gods she had dealt with in the past.

Even if it was a temporary draw with the Blood Empress's projection…

Edaline knew that she was definitely not a match for the Blood Empress.

If not for the series of accidents that happened later on, she would probably… end up in a tragic state.

However, at the same time, Edaline knew that the sudden appearance of the ten evil gods and the evil dragon was not a coincidence.

She looked at her brother in surprise.

"Rayne…"

Naturally, she could tell that Rayne Haines had used the mixed-blood of the Fiend Sword Sisterhood as a sacrifice to activate a summoning spell so that the many evil gods of the Nether Realm could be called up.

Incredible.

How did her brother know the curse technique to summon the evil gods?!

Even Edaline had not learned something like that before!

Furthermore, speaking of which, the person standing beside him… was Histia?!

Edaline rubbed her eyes hard.

However, when she looked in Rayne's direction again…

Histia was already gone. Only Hela's puppet, Histia Hela, was obediently by Rayne's side, helping him dig out White Vulture from the ground…

…?

Edaline was puzzled.

Initially, she wanted to step forward and ask about it.

However, at that moment, the messaging ring sent out another distress signal.

The coordinates of the signal pointed to Leta's Desolate Tundra.

Because Histia was temporarily entangled by the battle in the outer world, Edaline was particularly busy for the past two days.

Forget it…

Edaline could only hold back her curiosity.

The next time she saw him, she would ask him about it.

Just like that, the space was shattered violently and Edaline stepped into the crack of the space, disappearing.

…

After settling the matter, Rayne did not leave immediately.

Now that Gold Village was invaded by the Nether Realm and trampled by the fiends, as one of the parties involved, Rayne naturally had to give the owners of Gold Village an explanation.

Initially, Rayne intended to make use of this opportunity to go to Gold Village and have a chat with the mechanical titan, Doherty…

However, under Hela's pleading, Rayne had no choice but to chase away White Vulture before bringing Hela to a castle under her name in a snowy mountain for a two day pleasure trip.

The third day.

When they returned to Gold Village…

The second Heavenly God Fleet of the dwarves had already arrived at Gold Village.

They were originally here to fight the fiends to the death.

However, when they arrived at the scene, they realized that everything was over.

The invasion of the Nether Realm had already been repelled.

Gold Village was left in the mortal world. However, its corruption value was extremely dangerous and it could collapse into the Nether Realm at any moment.

Against corruption of this level, the common practice in the mortal countries was to purge these places completely.

If there was a demigod in the house, they could summon one of them to cast a forbidden curse and blow everything into sludge. That would be for the best.

However, this was their sacred ground after all and the dwarves truly could not bear to burn it down.

Therefore, they decided to start from scratch and cleanse the Nether Realm corruption bit by bit.

Although it would take a long time, everything would be worth it if they could restore the glory of this ancestral sacred ground.

Rayne found the dwarves and was received by the general after explaining his identity.

"By the way, Your Highness…"

At this moment, Hela poked Rayne gently and asked softly, "Won't these dwarves realize that you've already moved their true sacred ground away?"

"Don't worry, they won't."

Rayne smiled. "Not only that, they will even want to thank me."

The first thing the dwarf general did when he saw Rayne was to shake his hand solemnly with a moved expression.

"Your Highness Rayne, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of you on behalf of my king, Rhodes Grande!"

After the dwarf army took over Gold Village, the first thing they did was to check the golden platform in the mineshaft at the bottom.

To their discovery, the golden door of the supreme sacred ground that sealed the gold dwarves was intact and normal.

In other words…

Their sacred ground was not tainted by the fiends in this tragic invasion of the Nether Realm.

The reason for that was because apart from the bloody battle of the first batch of dwarf fleet, the dwarves had to thank the Haines Empire for their support.

The dwarf general expressed his gratitude to Rayne sincerely.

When Gold Village was invaded by the Nether Realm and was in danger of being invaded by the fiends, the Heavenly God Fleet of the dwarves had already died under the might of the Blood Empress!

In such a desperate situation…

It was all thanks to the demigods from the Haines Empire and the heroic battle led by Prince Rayne that the dwarves were able to protect their sacred ground!

His Highness Rayne… was truly a good person.

The dwarf general was extremely touched as he watched Rayne Haines leave with his Imperial Guards.

…

After greeting the dwarven faction, Rayne left Gold Village with Hela.

On the other side, Constance and Doherty who were in Gold Village were still preparing for its transfer.

Although the invasion of the Nether Realm was over, Rayne still needed the mechanical giant to bring Gold Village out of the outer mines.

There were many reasons for that.

Firstly, the dwarves had long forgotten about the true identity of the titans and the purpose of Gold Village in their long history.

As a result, although the current kings of the dwarves would continue to mine gold from Gold Village…

The gold that was mined would no longer be invested in Gold Village to provide Doherty with gold to store damage for New One-handed Sword 01.

There were still a large number of gold mines in the outer mines of Gold Village.

But now, they no longer had anything to do with Gold Village, Doherty or the plans of Original Sequence.

Now that things had come to this, Rayne definitely could not stand out and explain to the dwarves about the forgotten history so that they would obediently provide gold to Gold Village like their ancestors.

The dwarves had a strong belief in the sacred ground and the gold dwarves.

However, beliefs were merely beliefs.

To them, earning a keep right now was definitely more important.

There was naturally no way he could cut off someone's income by talking about beliefs and morals.

After all, they truly had literal gold mines...

However, gold mines were plentiful in the mortal world and Rayne had other means of obtaining gold.

It was not a big problem.

When he was free later, he would make arrangements.

Apart from the fact that the outer mines of Gold Village no longer had any value, the outer mines were also a huge latent danger.

Since Justice could invade Gold Village once, she could definitely do it again. Now that the barrier of the ancient gods was broken, it was easy to make a second trip.

In any case, Gold Village was a huge threat to Justice and she would not let it go.

Since that was the case…

Rayne might as well displace Gold Village to a place where the Nether Realm would not invade.

There were indeed a few places in the mortal world that were immune to the invasion of the Nether Realm.

Coincidentally, Rayne's next stop was one such blessed place.

Through this unprecedented acquisition of the ancient god ruins, Gold Village, the current Rayne had another bold thought.

One so bold that it made him shudder.

"Hela, next up, let's go to... wait a minut—"

Right then…

A door to the Nether Realm suddenly opened in Rayne's eyes!
