Chapter 627 Did you say something just now?
Hearing Sophias's request and then following Sophias's gaze, Noctar realized that Tom had ideas but still felt the need to seek Briar's permission.
This suggested that Briar held a leadership position among the three peculiar Shapeshifters.
This was Noctar's way of testing the waters.
From Winnie's behavior, it seemed that Winnie was not the leader...
However, Noctar remained silent as if he hadn't heard anything. Although he was the lord of a city, unlike Forseti, he didn't have a significant background. Coming to Nostara City, Noctar definitely didn't want to make more powerful enemies,he preferred to make more friends instead.
William glanced at Sophias and grinned, saying, "Go if you want to! Why ask me?"
Sophias's eyes lit up, seizing the opportunity to indulge his natural instincts.
As a male Element Devouring Cat, he had his desires, but being constantly in Aphrodite's presence, Sophias cared about etiquette and couldn't just vent his desires here like other Shapeshifters.
Of course, his biggest fear was upsetting William, risking William taking his balls.
After Sophias left, Noctar leaned closer to William and said to Forseti, "You should have understood the purpose of the Ultimate Force Alliance conference by now."
Forseti looked at Noctar with a blank expression.
Did you say something just now?
It seemed like you hadn't said anything!
"Huh?" Noctar looked back at Forseti and then at William, puzzled.
William understood what he meant. The Joyful Hell Tavern was bustling with Shapeshifters, and with their loud voices, even whispered conversations were clear to them.
Or rather, the agenda of this Ultimate Force Alliance conference was practically an open secret, no longer requiring much disguise.
Forseti, sitting there, had a mind full of confusion, pondering what William, now as bear-man, intended to do here. He hadn't paid attention to what the other Shapeshifters were saying.
William, however, had understood everything, but he was currently in the guise of a bear-man!
As a bear-man, you should look a bit simple-minded. Why bother with so much?
Noctar cleared his throat and said, "This Ultimate Force Alliance conference is likely aimed at Christianity. You must have heard that Jesus has left God's camp and is in hiding. It's said that God has disappeared recently, leaving the Sanctum of the Holy Light without a leader."
"Furthermore, Hades has acquired Archangel Amenadiel's Seven Treasures Staff and Spear of Apocalypse," Noctar said excitedly. "What does this mean? Perhaps Archangel Amenadiel is already dead!"
William looked at Noctar expressionlessly. After all, he was aware of these developments, having orchestrated them himself.
But what does this have to do with the Ultimate Force Alliance conference?
Hmm, maybe because of these things, Uranus and Odin have started making some unrealistic associations again.
Forseti, having not left Heart of Asgard for a long time, hadn't heard this news. Now, hearing Noctar speak, his eyes also began to sparkle.
The power of God and Zeus has been strong for tens of thousands of years, and the Shapeshifters have always deeply detested God's forces.
God's missionaries often target Shapeshifters and demons, leading to battles whenever God's forces encounter Shapeshifters in the Divine Realm.
With such deep-seated enmity between the two powers, the Shapeshifters couldn't stay indifferent to the major upheavals within God's forces.
Regardless of right or wrong, good or evil, different camps mean that they would definitely rub salt in the wound of their adversaries!
Even if they don't annihilate God's forces, they at least want to make them suffer.
On this matter, the entire Shapeshifter race is united!
"Hades acquired Archangel Amenadiel's supreme artifacts?" Forseti thought deeper. "Rumors say Hades has his own forces and isn't ranked among the twelve Olympian gods. Still, ultimately, he's brothers with Zeus and Poseidon. Could it be that the two major forces within the Divine Alliance have begun an internal war, and Hades's power has reached the level of a high-ranking deity, even going so far as to annihilate Archangel Amenadiel?"
The possession of both of Archangel Amenadiel's supreme artifacts by Hades would lead any normal Shapeshifter to conclude that Archangel Amenadiel is dead.
Moreover, if Hades has these two supreme artifacts, his power must be no less than any high-ranking deity!
Otherwise, how could he have seized Archangel Amenadiel's two supreme artifacts?
You should know, with those two supreme artifacts in hand, without significant strength, they would easily attract more powerful beings to seize them.
If Hades's strength isn't enough, those artifacts would only bring him disaster.
Hearing Forseti's analysis, Noctar simply smiled and said, "We can hardly guess the affairs at the level of high-ranking deities. But there's another piece of news,five unclaimed divine halos of power have appeared in the Divine Realm!"
Forseti instantly perked up at this news.
What does the decline of God's forces matter compared to this?
Five divine halos of power!
It's said that obtaining the power of a divine halo would earn Cosmic Entity's recognition and protection.
With only a hundred divine halos of power in the entire universe, the appearance of five unclaimed ones in the Divine Realm is an enormous opportunity.
William had already heard Shapeshifters discussing the matter of the divine halos.
When he killed Amenadiel and extracted the power of the divine halos, adding his own power to sever the connection between those five divine halos and the Cosmic Entity.
This should only be known to a few deities present at the time.
But now the whole of Nostara City is abuzz with the news.
Clearly, those big shots of the Divine Realmdeliberately spread the message.
Even high-ranking deities would covet those five divine halos of power.
Yet, William's methods have made it impossible for them to detect the presence of those divine halos. Getting them would almost be a matter of luck.
Such luck is unparalleled.
William can assure that even the Cosmic Entity couldn't detect the existence of these five divine halos of power. Are they expecting some incredibly lucky beings to find them?
Don't even think about it!
Maybe it's some unlucky fellow who ends up getting them?
Presumably, the big shots in the Divine Realm have also tried to use their divine senses to search the entire realm, but in the end, they found nothing and thus spread the news.
In their view, as long as the power of the divine halos is obtained by their own forces, it's generally not considered a loss.
Moreover, once the power of the divine halos is discovered, it's mostly likely to lead to contention. At that time, it would be difficult to keep it hidden from the big shots of the Divine Realm.
Spreading the news to deliberately incite a battle for possession, who will it end up with in the end?
Isn't it still the survival of the fittest?
Noctar chuckled and said, "Forseti, if other Shapeshifters by chance obtain the power of the divine halos, they probably wouldn't dare to claim it as their own, but you're different!!"
He just said it out loud, and in the Joyful Hell Tavern, many Shapeshifter lords couldn't help but look towards Forseti.
The sole son of Baldr!
The next leader of Heart of Asgard!
Other Shapeshifters obtaining the power of the divine halos might actually bring disaster upon themselves, but Forseti is different.
As long as Baldr lives, who in the entire Divine Realm would dare to touch him?
So, does Forseti have a chance to replace Odin and Uranus as the new leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance?
