Chapter 609 - Potential Threats
GDK 609: Potential Threats
After subduing Pegasus and Graeae, Han Shuo gave them a task: to loot all the valuable goods inside the Shrine of Ice.
Pegasus and Graeae had naturally adapted discerning eyes for valuable treasures over the years. After implanting seals in their brains, Han Shuo gained absolute authority over their lives or deaths and therefore had no worries that they would be disloyal.
The two were truly afraid of Han Shuo. They wore sour faces as they flew about the frozen mountains in search of valuable goods for Han Shuo.
If they hadn’t run into Han Shuo, they would have remained untouchable characters on Profound Continent – that was the biter. Perhaps this was the treatment they deserved for their errant intentions when Han Shuo explained he was heavily injured.
Ayermike Cotton, the expert who helped found Lancelot Empire, had truly taken Han Shuo as one of his own and worked for him sincerely after learning of his ambitions to unify the entire Profound Continent under Lancelot Empire. Han Shuo had always maintained proper respect towards Ayermike Cotton, totally unlike how he treated Pegasus and Graeae, yelling orders without giving thought to their feelings.
While the two hung their heads dispiritedly and bustled around for Han Shuo, Han Shuo and Ayermike Cotton chatted to day’s end like two old friends.
“You mentioned earlier that a god from the Shrine of Ice had manifested here. What kind of strength did he wield?” Ayermike Cotton was extremely curious about the comer from the Shrine of Ice. He had lived on Profound Continent for a long time and had long been aware of how formidable the Shrine of Ice was.
“He’s a midgod. Very powerful. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was unable to utilize his full strength and was hit by my sneak attack, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be here talking to you now,” Han Shuo explained, smiling slightly.
“Really didn’t expect that the comer would be a midgod. What a horror.” Ayermike Cotton was daunted. He, too, was familiar with the ranking between gods and what it meant to be a class lower.
Ayermike Cotton had left Lancelot Empire for too long and was very longing of his country. As not to cause any disturbances in Lancelot Empire, Han Shuo did not reveal Ayermike Cotton’s identity to anyone. Besides, Ayermike Cotton wasn’t one for vanity. He had obtained everything he needed five hundred years ago. He was even worshipped like a god back then.
The reason for Han Shuo’s decision to return to Ossen City was to greet Lawrence in person and further discuss the plan of all-out assaults on other nations while allowing Ayermike Cotton to revisit the capital city.
After arriving in Ossen City, Han Shuo slotted Pegasus and Graeae into the Dark Mantle, turning them into the two most terrifying trump cards of the covert organization. They would be in charge of handling some of the most dangerous and difficult missions of the Dark Mantle. The presences of these two basegods in the Dark Mantle would ensure that any shady businesses of Lancelot Empire could be carried out successfully.
For example, during a war, the two could be deployed to get rid of the opposing forces’ commanders and leaders, or perhaps to cast a formidable magical matrix – things that would fix the final outcome of a battle in no time. It was impossible for Han Shuo to do all these things personally. Their presence could save Han Shuo a lot of time and effort.
Han Shuo would not bring experts from the Abyss realm to this world except in the last resort. After all, Abyssal creatures didn’t resemble humans on Profound Continent. The arrival of Abyssal experts on this plane would surely cause an unimaginable panic among the people of Profound Continent. Han Shuo had no wish of becoming a public enemy to the whole of Profound Continent.
But in any case, given the power Han Shuo currently possessed, not to mention the mighty experts under his control, even without utilizing his Abyssal experts, it wouldn’t be of much difficulty for him to achieve world domination.
Soon after Han Shuo had settled Pegasus and Graeae into the Dark Mantle, and Ayermike Cotton had sorted through the great number of goods obtained from the Shrine of Ice, people from the Calamity Church who had traveled great distances paid a visit to Han Shuo.
