Most of the Macrocosm Ancestral Gods here were from the First Universe and would obey the Omnipotent Lord’s every command. The same goes for the Lords of other universes. As such, he was only trying to rub this in the Omnipotent Lord’s face.
The Omnipotent Lord’s expression darkened.
“Cut to the chase, Longinus. Please leave if there’s nothing else you need. We still have a meeting going on here.”
As if suddenly reminded of something, Longinus said, “Indeed, I have something I wish to ask you.”
The Omnipotent Lord looked at him and asked, “What is it?”
Longinus said, “Surely you have heard of Forty-nine?”
“What about him?” The Omnipotent Lord was puzzled. Why would Longinus suddenly bring up Forty-nine?
“Oh, nothing much. Just that he came looking for me and sought to win me over. He wants me to support him as the Lord of the new universe. He even promised he would make me his deputy,” Longinus said nonchalantly.
At the same time, he observed the Omnipotent Lord’s expressions intently.
As expected, the moment he mentioned Forty-nine, the Omnipotent Lord’s expression changed. Longinus glanced at him and smiled faintly, asking, “Say… If I support Forty-nine, do you think you can still be the Lord of the new universe after the consolidation?”
Hearing this, the Omnipotent Lord’s expression darkened once more.
Below, a Macrocosm Ancestral God could no longer suppress his rage as he said, “Who does Forty-nine think he is? What makes him think he can be the Lord of the new universe?”
Longinus said, “Indeed, I have no idea who he is or what he is capable of. Perhaps the Omnipotent Lord would care to enlighten us?”
Then, he glanced at the Omnipotent Lord and asked, “Would you do me the honor?”
