Chapter 628 It's clearly time to choose whom to support
Hearing Noctar speak this way, Forseti couldn't help but feel excited inside.
His father is the God of Light, Baldr, and it is for this reason that he is the one who most desires to become stronger and to be recognized by others.
He wishes that after leaving Heart of Asgard, people will refer to him as Forseti, the super-strong warrior of the Divine Realm, and not just as the son of Baldr.
Previously, he only thought about clinging to the coattails of William the Obliterator and was also glad to be able to leave Heart of Asgard.
Becoming the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance...
He had thought about it, but even Forseti himself felt it was unrealistic.
For tens of thousands of years, the Ultimate Force Alliance has been led by Odin and Uranus, and there are reasons for that.
Both in terms of character and strength, Odin and Uranus have the respect of the Shapeshifter race. When the Shapeshifters were in decline, it was Odin and Uranus who extended a helping hand to save them.
Odin and Uranus hold high esteem within the Shapeshifter race, but what about Forseti?
It seems no matter how hard he tries, let alone surpassing Odin and Uranus, he hasn't even surpassed the prestige of his own father.
As long as he hasn't exceeded his father, he is just a child under protection.
"Noctar, what do you mean?" Forseti isn't entirely foolish.
The Shapeshifter race has always believed in the supremacy of the strong.
Noctar, being a city lord with the strength of a Supreme Deity, coming to forge ties with him so generously...
Without a purpose?
He doesn't believe it!
Noctar doesn't hide his intentions, saying to Forseti, "I am willing to make a blood pact with you, swearing with our souls and lives that from now on, you are my brother in arms. We will share benefits and face difficulties together. If we betray this oath, may our souls be annihilated!"
Forseti is slightly taken aback.
Does he want to become brothers with him?
"Noctar, you must be joking. You seem to be much older than me..." After all, having lived for so many years, Forseti understands why Noctar would want to form ties with him.
Saying they want to become best brothers is essentially akin to submitting to his Heart of Asgard, to his father Baldr.
The power of the five divine halos might even create five high-ranking gods, right?
Of course, that was just Forseti's wishful thinking. Even with the power of the divine halos, becoming a high-ranking god wouldn't be so easy.
Noctar's move was simply to find himself a strong backer...
Even if not Odin or Uranus, it would be a force that could make Odin and Uranus wary.
Such a force, in the entire Ultimate Force Alliance council, apart from Forseti of Heart of Asgard, there seems to be no second option.
Directly finding Baldr?
Noctar had recently visited Heart of Asgard, and Baldr probably guessed his intentions. Noctar couldn't even enter the city gates and only had a brief encounter with Forseti.
"Older? No, no, no! Forseti, your lineage is more noble, your potential limitless. All you're missing is a bit of opportunity."
In fact, when Noctar mentioned the noble lineage, there was no pride in Forseti's heart,on the contrary, he even felt some disgust with this notion.
It sounded more like, if not for his bloodline, Noctar wouldn't even spare him a second glance.
But he still smiled and said, "In that case, let us form an alliance. I'll accept you as my bro!"
Noctar beamed with joy, getting all chummy with Forseti.
As if they were real brothers.
As for making a blood pact, naturally, it wouldn't be done in such a place.
Noctar glanced at William, seemingly curious, and asked, "Briar, what level of strength are you at now?"
William had been listening to these two chatting away and had remained silent, but he could see through Noctar's little schemes at a glance.
"Me?" Knowing Noctar's strength, William said in his simple way, "Just at the peak of Supreme Deity level."
Noctar was only at the early stages of the Supreme Deity level. Not weak, but he knew all too well how difficult it was to advance further after reaching the Supreme Deity level.
To break through from the Creator Deity level to the Supreme Deity level, he had consumed countless Mythical level potions and experienced many adventures, over forty thousand years...
He couldn't even imagine, without something like the power of the divine halos, how could he advance further?
Yet here was this unheard-of bear-man, claiming to be at the peak of the Supreme Deity level?
"And... Winnie?" Noctar couldn't believe it. Heart of Asgard had a peak Supreme Deity level warrior?
No wonder it's under Baldr's rule!
It seems the decision to befriend Forseti was absolutely correct!
William glanced at Lucien, who was entangled with the she-
bear, and said with a grin, "Him? He's at the mid-level of the Supreme Deity strength."
Lucien, currently unable to move, was inwardly cursing, "Supreme Deity level! Ah, William, can't you make this she-bear stay away from me?"
Noctar couldn't help but be shocked and asked, "And Tom...?"
"Also just mid-level of the Supreme Deity strength," William said nonchalantly.
This statement caused all the Shapeshifter lords in the Joyful Hell Tavern to stare at them.
Supreme Deity level strength?
All three of them are at the Supreme Deity level!
Just how strong is the force of Heart of Asgard?
"Shall we talk upstairs? It's too crowded here," Noctar somewhat regretted his earlier decision to show off here, thinking it would be easy to overhear some information with Forseti around.
Damn, what's with all these fancy reception arrangements?
Couldn't he have just taken them upstairs and told them everything directly?
Now he had inadvertently exposed the strength of Heart of Asgard, which might even attract other Shapeshifter lords to seek friendship with Forseti.
At that point, his importance in Forseti's eyes would diminish.
"Let's go upstairs!" William stood up, and the she-bear accompanying him obediently left with him.
Lucien finally found he could move again, and quickly pushed away the six-thousand-pound she-bear, rushing out of the Joyful Hell Tavern to vomit violently.
That guy William really holds a grudge.
Just for looking at him a few times, he actually pranked him like this.
"Huh? Briar, what's wrong with Winnie?" Noctar was also somewhat surprised, and considering he hadn't previously mentioned making a blood pact with William and the others.
So, these words of concern came out naturally!
William laughed heartily, "Don't mind him; he's just got a bad stomach. Let's go upstairs."
Knowing that William and his companions were of Supreme Deity level strength, the Shapeshifters of the Joyful Hell Tavern certainly didn't dare to neglect them. A charming female Shapeshifter came over, batting her eyelashes coquettishly, "Isn't this Lord Noctar? Visiting our Joyful Hell Tavern without notifying me, you really forgot about me."
Noctar laughed it off, "Miss Sirena, what are you talking about? Why don't you join us upstairs to drink with a few of my friends?"
Sirena, the manager of the Joyful Hell Tavern, backed by the Hydra clan and supported by Odin and Uranus.
The fact that the Joyful Hell Tavern could operate in Nostara City was also supported by the ten major families of the Shapeshifters clan.
Now, with the Ultimate Force Alliance conference about to begin and the task of finding the five scattered holy halo powers in the Divine Realm, how should these powers be allocated and handled if acquired?
It's clearly time to choose whom to support.
If one sides with Odin, does it mean that whoever obtains the power of the holy halo must offer it to Odin?
