089 Godslayer Alliance, an Unbeatable Opponent

A little earlier, when Su Mo had just defeated Athena and, due to Jibril's challenge, set the battlefield on the moon.

Rome, the headquarters of the Copper Black Cross, in the underground prison.

"Marquis Voban, are you really not planning to come out?"

A young-looking man in a dark black suit asked a question to an elderly man inside the prison.

"Although I can't do anything about it, if we join forces with other god-slayers, we might be able to remove the shackles on you."

"Ha, Thunder Boy, stop with your useless thoughts! As a loser, I haven't lost my dignity to the point of running away!"

Marquis Voban snorted coldly, not even looking at the other party.

Although his attitude could be described as cold, there were only a handful of people in this world who deserved to be treated as equals by him.

And just as he called it, the young man outside the prison was none other than the god-slayer known as the Swift Prince—Black Prince Alec.

As an outlier among the Godslayers who liked to use his brain, he wasn't angry when he heard Marquis Voban's words, but continued to persuade him.

"If we want to regain our dignity, shouldn't the most important thing be to join forces and defeat the new king who wants to dominate?"

While most god-slayers only want to fight alone, he is a rare individual who believes in everyone working together to defeat Su Mo.

Based on general reasoning, this is also the most normal way to deal with it.

He's just a newbie, yet he dares to make all the other god-slayers submit. Shouldn't we teach him a lesson from his seniors?

But as it turns out, the god-killers' thought processes are not normal.

Even Marquis Voban, who had already suffered losses, did not change his mind as Alec had predicted.

On the contrary, he completely scoffed at Alek's proposal.

"Join forces? Have you ever seen a pack of ferocious beasts?"

His attitude remained one of strong rejection.

"..."

The Black Prince found the situation somewhat troublesome.

Just then, Tony from the opposite cell suddenly spoke up.

"I've seen them. Wolves always travel in packs. Old man, are you getting senile?"

As a fellow prisoner, he's become increasingly unrestrained.

"...Shut up, Sword Boy, it's not your place to speak!"

Marquis Voban glared at Tony, but Tony completely ignored him.

"The King of Swords has a point. Even wild beasts sometimes travel in groups."

Alek seized the opportunity and continued to persuade him.

"Besides, one defeat doesn't mean everything. Do you really intend to spend the rest of your life in the new king's prison?"

As far as he knew, the Marquis of Voban was not the type to have such a strong sense of contractual obligation.

"To be imprisoned for life, or to join forces with us to defeat the new king—that shouldn't be a difficult choice, right?"

He extended his hand, offering a truly sincere invitation.

however--

"No need to say it."

Marquis Voban shook his head again, rejecting his proposal.

Just as Alec was wondering what was going on, Tony chuckled from the side.

"Don't ask anymore. No matter how much you say, he won't agree. This old man is already terrified of you!"

Upon hearing this, Alec's heart stirred.

That fool Jian really knows how to stir up trouble. With Marquis Voban's temper, he definitely can't stand this kind of contempt, right?

If the provocation works...

Wait a minute? Why isn't Marquis Voban saying anything?

Realizing something was wrong, he turned his head and saw Marquis Voban's face, which was deeply pale.

Surprisingly, he did not refute Tony's sarcasm.

What's going on? Is Tony telling the truth? Has the Marquis of Voban really been defeated?

how can that be!

Before Alek could ask any further questions, Marquis Voban spoke up first.

"You can't beat him."

It's neither an exclamation nor a question, but a statement that reads like an objective fact.

This tone undoubtedly confirms Tony's words.

"But Marquis, haven't you already analyzed part of the effects of the new king's spell? With your intelligence, plus the combined efforts of the rest of us Godslayers, there's no way we can lose to the new king who's all alone, right?"

Alek still couldn't understand.

Five against one, how could the dragon possibly lose?

Marquis Voban had no intention of explaining his naive remarks.

"It's no use, you're bound to lose, whether you know the effects of the spell or not."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Alek realized that it was impossible for this old man to accompany him.

So he turned and looked at Tony.

"Since the Sword King just said that, then you—"

I had only said half of the invitation when I saw the other person immediately wave their hand.

"No need to say anything, I think it's fine here, I won't go out with you."

Alek was somewhat bewildered to see the two of them treating the prison like their home.

"And why are you doing this?"

"I'm completely defeated!"

Tony, without a shred of shame, proudly declared.

"In short, my friend's strength is beyond your imagination. No matter how many god-slayers you gather, it will be the same. I have no intention of participating in an operation that is destined to fail."

"In fact, when Erica comes back later, I'll proactively report you to her for instigating our escape. Hehehe, with that credit, she should be willing to treat me to a better pizza!"

Saying he would report Alek to his face is astonishing in its audacity.

Even Alek was stunned by these words, and his face turned green.

He came here to seek allies to oppose Su Mo, but he didn't expect to find a single ally and even be reported.

If the new king finds out that I stole his house while he was away, wouldn't the new king chase after me and beat me up?

Seeing that his attempt to steal a chicken had backfired, and not knowing when the new king would return, Alec began to consider giving up.

In any case, knowing some of the effects of the new king's spell is a pretty good gain.

Since his divine speed and authority are key to dealing with the new king, he can maintain the upper hand no matter how he cooperates with the other god-killers.

If you really can't win, you can run away.

Before leaving, Alec suddenly had a thought and asked Marquis Voban a question.

"Marquis, are you saying that even if I bring in Cult Leader Luo Hao, I still wouldn't be a match for the new king?"

"..."

Marquis Voban glanced at Alec and guessed what he was thinking.

But he still delivered the lines the other person was expecting.

"Of course, that's an opponent you can't beat."

·

Tens of minutes later, on the other side of the Earth.

Lushan.

"Outrageous! How dare the Marquis look down on me like this? How dare he insult the prestige of Luo Hao!"

After hearing Alek's description, Luo Hao was indeed furious.

It's unclear whether he was enraged because Marquis Voban looked down on him, or because he was woken up by a guest.

Seeing that his provocation had worked, Alec felt relieved and continued speaking.

"The new king's strength is indeed extraordinary, otherwise Marquis Voban and the Sword King would not have been defeated so easily."

"If the leader is willing, we can join forces. I have already made contact with Hades, and we can work together with the leader to fight against the new king!"

No wonder he was so enthusiastic; it's just that Tony is inhuman.

Alec wasn't particularly afraid of the new king; if he couldn't beat him, he could at least outrun him.

Having witnessed the attitudes of Tony and the Marquis of Voban, he immediately abandoned this easy idea.

The person who could subdue the Marquis of Voban must be a ruthless individual, and one person alone is definitely not enough to deal with such a ruthless person.

Especially now, after being reported by Tony, he will inevitably be the focus of the new king's attack.

Therefore, in order to ensure his safety to the greatest extent possible, he must build a defensive line strong enough to confront the new king.
