Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 271 The Scheme of the God of Mysteries

Deep in the distant mountains, in the camp of the chosen champions, Casaloron, as the commander of this temporary legion, naturally saw the giant steam serpent in the distance.

In fact, looking at the entire star system, such technology is far too primitive, no different from eating raw meat and drinking blood. However, after combining the information from other chosen champions, it becomes a completely different story. After all, according to those chosen champions, the natives of this planet didn't even know how to smelt iron before and were still at the stage of playing with bronze.

But now...

"How long has it been?"

Casalon gritted his teeth.

As it turned out, the God of Courage was right. His home planet, the planet he was born on, did indeed possess terrifying potential—but clearly, this potential had nothing to do with the God of Courage.

Although Casaloran could sense that the local natives in the distance were all blessed by the god of courage, it now seemed...

"The one who was able to enable these natives to make technological progress so quickly must be that mysterious god."

The thought that his fellow countrymen, who should have been courageous, had been ravaged by the god of mystery filled Casaloron with regret. He only regretted not returning sooner.

However, it was only after thinking about this that Casaloran suddenly understood everything.

Yes, if we're talking about the most mysterious, then the evil giant serpent is the most mysterious of all—you see, long, long ago, when he was still worshipping the Eagle God, this evil ancient serpent had already killed the valiant giant eagle through scheming and trickery.

Kasalon had initially thought that only the ancient serpent was evil, but now it seemed...

"We must rescue these people from our hometown!"

Casaloran was filled with an unprecedented sense of mission.

Having a sense of mission is one thing, but being able to fulfill it is another. At least with his current severely injured body, it will probably take some time for him to recover.

But he's not the only one who's injured right now.

That very night, a hawk appeared in Casaloron's tent. Its majestic appearance almost made Casaloron kneel down in fear. But while Casaloron was still struggling with this thought, the hawk lost its balance and transformed back into a butterfly with shattered wings.

The butterfly with shattered wings flapped its wings, and its consciousness, carrying information, was transmitted to Casaloran's surroundings.

"Now you've decided to join forces?"

Sensing the information within his consciousness, Casaloron's face immediately darkened.

"Weren't you thinking of picking peaches before? What were you doing all this time?"

The butterfly with tattered wings continued to flap its wings, and specks of light drifted down around it.

This left Casaloran speechless for a moment.

The person before him, the Shadow of the God of Pleasure, didn't even bother to explain, simply admitting his actions—but showed no remorse for his deeds, even stating that if Casaloran were in that position, he would have done the same thing.

After all, this is the most basic rule in the Star Sea: the strong prey on the weak. Since you have shown your weakness, don't blame others for taking advantage of you.

Furthermore, the Shadow of Enchantress frankly stated that the plans of Casaloron and David Day, as well as the gods behind them, were all too crude—they had no idea what potential the creatures on this planet possessed, nor did they understand what kind of potential it meant to refuse the blessings of the god of pleasure.

This is a treasure belonging to the god of pleasure, and the god of pleasure will naturally spare no effort in mining it.

Right now, it's just a failed mining attempt. "You mean, this actually proves their potential even more, so such a huge treasure... the God of Pleasure has decided not to keep it all to himself?"

Sensing the information transmitted through his consciousness, Casalon suddenly raised his head.

Before him, a butterfly with shattered wings nodded gently.

This is Xinghai's common body language; it's him expressing confirmation.

"After all... the God of Mysteries has already made his move first."

Feeling the message coming from his consciousness, Casalon nodded.

Clearly, everyone has witnessed the rapid changes in the local natives. To achieve such a technological leap in such a short time is definitely due to the secret assistance of the mysterious god—as for whether these natives developed it themselves…

Impossible, absolutely impossible. Without the help of the gods in the Star Sea, how could these local natives have accomplished such a feat with just that ancient serpent?

"So, the current situation is quite clear."

Casalon stood up, walked to the table, and lightly tapped the topographical map that had been drawn a few days ago.

“We shouldn’t have been fighting over anything in the first place… especially that damn David Day, he just got all the focus off.”

Thinking about this, Casaloran felt nauseous. He hadn't expected that David Day would already be causing him trouble before he even arrived.

“There’s no need for us to fight over anything. After all, the treasure we’re trying to dig up has already been targeted by the God of Mystery. Right now, that evil God of Mystery is hiding behind the scenes, even instigating us to fight against those local natives… The fiercer we fight, the more those natives will side with the God of Mystery.”

At this point, Casaloan felt he had sorted out the logic.

This tiny planet has unknowingly become a battlefield fought over by four gods. Judging from the current situation, the other three gods have been thoroughly outmaneuvered by the mysterious god hiding behind the scenes. At least, apart from David Day, who was originally determined to destroy everything, the other two have no need to have any conflict with the local natives.

But now, under the arrangement of the mysterious god, the situation that should have been one of mutual benefit has unknowingly turned into a three-against-one battle.

In a normal war, it would be bad for anyone to be attacked by the other three in turn. But now, the one that is targeted by the other three is more likely to achieve its goal.

Just like it is now.

"It's over, this time we can really just wait to die."

Casalon sighed.

Clearly, compared to the God of Pleasure, who sent out his top general, the God of Mystery was the real deal, going all out from the very beginning.

From the very beginning, the God of Mystery had already personally intervened.

And now, they have even helped the God of Mystery accomplish everything.

It's truly only a matter of time before that mysterious god reaps the rewards.

"As long as those local natives continue to pray to that mysterious god..."

Casalon could hardly bear to imagine that horrific scene.
