My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start Chapter 411 – The Gods' Descent

Chapter 411: The Gods' Descent

“That is the method. Master, will you remember it?”

Under Reid's request, Watson quickly taught Reid the method he had developed through prayers.

“It's that simple? Then, can I obtain the same ability as a god?”

Reid did not find Watson's words difficult. On the contrary, he was a little puzzled because it was too simple. Watson gave him a few prayers and told him that as long as someone used those prayers to pray sincerely to him, he would be able to sense them.

“That's right. It's that simple. If you don't believe me, Master, you can try it on anyone.” Watson nodded in response. Reid looked around and paused on Samuel's body for a while. Then, his gaze fell on a slightly plump disciple in the distance.

“You, come here.”

“Master, you called for me?”

That slightly plump disciple was considered the weakest of all the disciples. He is only at the peak of gold-tier. Since Watson had just promoted Samuel, Reid felt like it was inappropriate for Samuel to pray to him, so he chose that disciple.

“From now on, I will teach you a prayer. You have to pray to me according to that prayer. Remember to pray sincerely.”

Reid taught the prayer that Watson had just taught him to his disciple and instructed him a few times. When the slightly chubby disciple in front of him heard that, he first respectfully agreed. Then, he muttered in his heart. He did not expect Reid to ask him to pray to him. Praying was something one did for a god. Even though he was usually respectful to Reid, it was not to the extent that he would pray to the man. He wondered if his master had some deeper meaning in asking him to do that?

With doubts in his heart, that disciple still did as Reid said.

Along with the prayer, the slightly chubby disciple's body did not change at all. He was stunned on the spot. Reid also appeared to be very embarrassed, and his face darkened. “Did you not pray to me attentively, or did you say the prayer incorrectly?”

“No, Master, I did not say it wrong.”

The slightly plump disciple was so scared by Reid that he almost cried. He repeated the prayer with an aggrieved expression, but there was still no reaction. “Master, is there something wrong with the prayer itself?”

He did not know why his master asked him to pra, and he did not understand why his master was angry. Should something happen to his body after his prayer? Since that was the case, should he pretend that there were some changes in his next prayer?

“Watson, didn't you say that you could establish a connection with the other party as long as they prayed? Why can't I do that? ” Reid had no choice but to turn his head to ask Watson.

Watson also scratched his head in confusion and said, “It should not be.” He gestured at his slightly chubby senior brother. “Senior Brother, please tell me what you just said to Master.”

“Alright, Junior Brother Watson.”

The slightly chubby disciple followed Watson's instructions and obediently recited the prayer. Then, a layer of light suddenly appeared on his body. That layer of light was completely made up of sword aura. Wherever the light passed, the ground would be dissolved.

“I feel a change! I feel that Junior Brother Watson and I seem to have a mysterious connection. A lot of knowledge is surging from Junior Brother Watson's mind!”

Holding his head, that peak gold-tier disciple subconsciously extended his right hand. Sword blades that could cut through the sky appeared and shot out in all directions. The sword qi drew deep ravines on the ground, leaving behind cracks in the air.

“Platinum-tier Infinite Sword Slash!”

In just an instant, that peak gold-tier disciple had grasped something that he could not have grasped before.

'Well, he is at peak gold-tier. It is a little low. Even if I taught him all of my sword technique knowledge, he would not be able to grasp it completely. Unleashing a peak platinum-tier fighting technique is the limit.'

Watson watched from the side. He muttered in his heart and made a judgment.

“Watson, what is going on? Why is it that my disciple can pray to you but not to me?” Reid's expression darkened when he saw that scene. Was his level not high enough that he could not accept his disciple's faith? However, Watson could do it. Was he not as good as Watson?

“I don't know what's going on either, Master.”

Initially, Watson thought that as long as he used that method, anyone could accept faith. It seemed like he was the only one who could accept faith. If he could use that method to bestow power to others, then there was no lack of intelligent people in the kingdom for the next hundreds of years. They should have thought of that method long ago and not Watson.

Perhaps there were some special conditions other than the other party's sincere prayer to receive the faith of others.

“Watson, think about the loopholes in that method. I'll get all the disciples in the courtyard to come here. Together with Christina, you'll make them believe in you and see if they can obtain your power,” Reid said with some excitement. On the one hand, he wanted to obtain that method. On the other hand, he also hoped that Watson would pass his power to others instead of him.

Watson's talent was stronger than his. Even if he were not his match then, he would definitely surpass him in the future. He would make those people believe in Watson. It was exciting to think that all of his disciples would become talented elites.

“Alright, Master. I will study it again when I receive the faith later to see what went wrong. As for Miss Christina, she doesn't need to come over because she already put her faith in me during the day.”

“Watson, when did you become so close to my daughter?” Reid showed a puzzled look.

The young man kept mentioning Christina. He even gave priority to Christina in the abilities he could impart. Obviously, their relationship was quite extraordinary.

“Then, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end it without a marriage! Watson, I've decided that I'm going to marry Tina to you. You'll have to take care of her from now onward.”

On second thought, that was a good thing. Reid laughed loudly. If he let Christina be with Watson, he would be able to tie Watson to their family. Even though he became Watson's master after a certain someone, if Watson were with Christina, his relationship with Watson would be closer than that certain someone. He wanted to laugh when he saw that person's exasperated look.

“Reid, you old fox. I disagree with that. Who Watson likes is his own business. Furthermore, Watson is still too young. He should put all his attention on cultivation and should not waste time on relationships.” Antonio was so angry that he stomped his feet.

D*mn that Reid! He had used a honey trap. Antonio did not have a daughter. Otherwise, he would have been betrothed one to Watson a long time ago. How would Reid get a chance?

If it were not because one could not be Watson's family, who would want to be Watson's Master?

“Your objection is invalid. I am Watson's master. He will definitely listen to me.”

“I'm also Watson's Master. How about that? Let's fight. Whoever wins will get Watson will listen to him.”

“Come, let's fight. I'm not afraid of you!”

In an instant, the atmosphere between Antonio and Reid became tense. One of them took out his Crown Staff, while the other had the Thread of Destiny around him. Seeing that the battle was about to start, Watson weakly stretched out his hand.

“Masters, didn't you want me to find the secret of receiving faith? Why are you fighting? Master Antonio, you're right. Feelings are indeed unnecessary for me at the moment, so I don't want to be with anyone. But the future is not certain yet! Master Reid, you're not wrong either. Miss Christina is a good person. I think most men will fall in love with her when they see her. But we're not suitable for each other, so I said you should not fight—”

“Watson, shut up.”

Reid and Antonio turned their heads at the same time and scolded him angrily. That made Watson feel aggrieved. He just wanted to mediate the fight. What did he do wrong? Why were the two masters so furious with him?

“It takes a lot of time and effort to absorb faith. It's not easy to extract a little faith from the mouths of those vampires who call themselves gods.”

At the King's bedroom in the imperial palace.

King Landhar III sat cross-legged in the hidden chamber in the basement. A green oil lamp was placed in front of him. Blood-colored twisted strange symbols spread in the direction of the light. The shadows on the wall reflected by the light were weird and horrifying. A giant ball of light with brilliant colors was born from the symbols and flew into the King's mouth and nose.

“Your Majesty, don't complain anymore. If it weren't for our transformation, you wouldn't even be able to absorb the power of faith! Faith is something that only a divine kingdom can carry. If one hasn't reached starlight-tier, even if one has mastered the building techniques for the divine kingdom, forcibly fusing it will only cause the faith to be lost, unless—”

A shadow on the wall squirmed and made a sound. Halfway through his words, the shadow suddenly quieted.

“Unless what?”

“Nothing.” The shadow who had just spoken did not intend to continue talking about that and changed the topic. “Speaking of which, Your Majesty, it has been a long time since you agreed to our last request. We have provided you with faith, but you have not fulfilled your obligation to bring the youth to us. When will you be able to fulfill your promise?”

“I would like to talk to you about that. I have already arranged for someone to be placed in the Sword Saint's courtyard. If you want to obtain the results, you will have to wait patiently! Perhaps you can give me some God's Remains. I will form an army that is close to the starlight-tier and charge into the Sword Saint's courtyard to get Watson.”

King Landhar III did not answer. Instead, he asked a question in return. His gaze swept over the strangely-shaped gods' projections on the wall. He sneered in his heart. Those so-called gods were no different from humans—they were also motivated by benefits. However, he still had not figured out what those gods saw in Watson.

After observing Watson for the past few days, he discovered that Watson was quite remarkable. He was able to make Antonio and the Sword Saint value him at the same time. Firstly, he had extraordinary talents. Secondly, during the battle between Watson and the Campbell family, he learned some strange things from Hoen. For example, Watson had mastered the art of fusion. The gods were definitely not interested in Watson's talent. Perhaps it had something to do with that fusion magic.

King Landhar III thought about it for a while, then he said, “The reason I failed is because of Sidi! When Watson first came to the capital, I had already prepared a countermeasure. I let Sidi possess the body of a unicorn. I gave you a chance to catch Watson with your own hands. You can't blame me for not grasping it, right? Furthermore, after that, I had ordered the country's elites to capture Watson. In the end, Watson was too powerful for them. He almost destroyed an archduke's family, and he also injured one of my strongest generals. I didn't even ask for compensation from you. Shouldn't you have some faith in me?”

King Landhar's words caused the gods' projections on the wall to fall silent. After a moment, Sidi's displeased ear-piercing voice said, “King Landhar III, why are you blaming me for that? Indeed, I made a mistake the first time, but didn't I make up for it? I even gave you the remains of the highly toxic god. That's a part of my divine kingdom. At least I've made efforts to capture Watson. Unlike the other gods who haven't made a move yet, so you can't blame me.”

“Alright, Sidi, we don't blame you. In any case, capture Watson as soon as possible! If this drags on any longer, it will only allow that youth to grow. When that time comes, it will be troublesome if we want to do anything. This time, I've decided to make a move personally.”

The person who spoke was the God of Light, Baldur, the leader of the seven gods. After his voice fell, the shadows of the other gods on the wall began to discuss that.

“Baldur, you want to make a move personally? Don't tell me you want to descend into the mortal realm?”

“Interfering with the mortals is forbidden to the gods—you know that.”

In the face of his companions' doubts, Baldur still spoke in a calm tone. “Of course, I know that is against the rules. Once it is discovered, the other gods might attack me! But for the sake of that youth, I'll just have to take a gamble, won't I?”

“That's true.”

“Baldur, if that's the case, we can't let you descend alone. We can come with you, so you don't have to go against that youth by yourself.”

The gods' thoughts had changed in mere seconds. That scene caused King Landhar's eyes to flicker.

It seemed like those gods had to pay the price when they entered the mortal world. Those gods did not hesitate to be punished for entering the mortal realm. They would do that for Watson. What was it about Watson that made them so infatuated? If he could find that secret before those gods…

“After arguing for so long, it's time for you to rest. I have no objections to your proposal to descend into the kingdom. After all, the descent of the gods can make the people more devout! However, you have to explain to me what you need so I can prepare for your descent.”

It was definitely not that simple to let the gods descend. It might even require a large number of resources to do so.

“First, you'll have to prepare seven bodies. Those seven people have to be at least platinum-tier or have the strength of a platinum-tier elite! Secondly, the best age for those seven people should not be more than 18 years old. That is the most basic condition for us to possess their bodies. I will tell you the other conditions after you have prepared those bodies.”

Baldur's gentle voice echoed in the secret chamber.

“Then I will see you next time. I will go and make preparations for that.”

After he cut off the connection with the gods, King Landhar III remained silent for a long while before leaving the secret chamber with the oil lamp in his hand. He returned to the empty bedroom and sat on the bed, deep in thought.

“Those seven gods are going to descend to get Watson. The plan regarding the gods needs to be revised.”

If the gods could descend, then his plan would become more stable. At the same time, another bold idea arose in the King's mind. While he was sorting out the plan, his subordinate's voice suddenly came from outside.

“Your Majesty, General Hoen requests an audience. He says he has something important to report to you.”

After the inquiry, his subordinate had been holding his breath outside. He understood the King's rules. He could not make any unusual movements until the King responded to him. Even if it were a significant matter, he had to ask every ten minutes, even though he did not know the use of such a strange rule was. Those who did not follow the rules were all dead.

“I understand. Let him in.”

King Landhar III closed the door to the secret room and acted as if everything was normal. He walked toward the desk, lifted the teapot, and poured two cups of hot tea, waiting for Hoen to enter.

Before long, Hoen, who was dressed in armor, came into the room. King Landhar III pointed to the seat opposite him and motioned for Hoen to sit down. He picked up a teacup and took a sip.

“Hoen, I rarely see you in such a hurry. Tell me, what happened?”

“Your Majesty, I have some bad news. I don't know if I should tell you.”

“Tell me.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. First of all, it's the Severed Fingers Gang. Originally, they were an underground force in the kingdom. I know that we usually eliminate them when we want to get rid of some specific people. However, I learned that someone had reorganized the gang, and they are now a legitimate organization.”

“Reorganized Severed Fingers? Who has the ability to do that? ”

“I don't know who that person is, but he calls himself the Black Emperor.”

After Hoen said the person's name, King Landhar III squeezed the teacup slightly, causing it to make a cracking sound. Then, he took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened. “The Black Emperor? What a mouthful! Go on. Is there anything else I should know?”

“The rest of the matter is also related to the Severed Fingers Gang. After their reorganization, a batch of drinks named the Sun Wine and Moon Wine suddenly appeared in the capital. It is said that they were brewed from sun and moon gems produced in the Forest of Eternity! At the same time, a batch of platinum-tier items appeared in the capital. They were all made by famous craftsmen. According to the noblemen who bought those weapons, those weapons were sold by the Severed Fingers Gang, and—”

As he spoke, Hoen observed the King's expression. He realized that the King's face did not change. He heaved a sigh of relief and told the King of a ridiculous thing he had heard. “Also, Your Majesty, it's about the Dragon Knight Legion. One of the dragons was killed. Someone said they saw the remains of a thunder-clawed dragon in the Holy Dragon Tavern's kitchen. It had been cooked.”

Hearing that, King Landhar III could not hold it in any longer. He spat a mouthful of tea on Hoen's face. He was in shock.

Hoen wiped his face and smiled bitterly. That was the first time he had seen King Landhar III, who had always kept a straight face, show such an expression, but he did not find it strange at all. When he first heard the news, his reaction was ten times stronger than the King's.
