Now that Wotan who was ranked tenth on the Chaos Gold Ranking had emerged, he was a threat to everyone else.
Though Wotan could hear these discussions, he paid no heed to them. Instead, he scanned his surroundings and strode forward, heading toward the Five-color Holy Pond in the center.
Though there were countless living beings here, none of them dared act recklessly. Though they wished to stop Wotan, they did not dare step forward, for provoking Wotan could mean certain death.
Wotan was getting closer and closer to the Five-color Holy Pond.
Leilani, Wynnstand, Sigmund, and the others were anxious. James’ expression was grim. This providence would be extremely beneficial to him. So, he could not give it up just like that.
“Trying to take the providence for yourself? What do you take us for?” James said and appeared in mid-air. His gaze met Wotan’s. He was not afraid at all as he was determined to seize this providence. That was because cultivating the Omniscience Path was simply too difficult, and each step he takes was too excruciating.
“Who is he?”
“Is he trying to stop Wotan? He must be tired of living!”
“I’ve seen him before. He was the one who performed the Sacred Blossom at Leilani’s birthday banquet. The Sacred Blossom is indeed beautiful, but his comprehension of the Greater Paths is not comprehensive enough. This caused his Sacred Blossom to be weaker than expected.”
James immediately became the center of attention.
“Who are you? What’s your name?”
Wotan did not let his guard down. Though he was ranked tenth on the Chaos Gold Ranking and was near-invincible in the Quasi Acme Rank, he could sense James’ might. Even though James did not exude any aura, his instincts told him that an explosive power was hidden inside James’ body. His instincts tend to be accurate.
“That’s not important. What’s important is that the providence doesn’t belong to you alone.” James said. At the same time, he was plotting something. It was evident that everyone present here was afraid of Wotan, who seemed to be a troublesome opponent. If he could ally with him, things would be much easier for him.
He smiled and said, “Why don’t we join forces?’
“Join forces?” Wotan glanced at James and smiled faintly, saying, “What can you offer me?”
Since Wotan could not see through James, he was curious to see just how powerful James was. He pointed at Leilani and the others and said, “I’ll give you a chance. If you can defeat them, I will join forces with you until the final showdown.”
James glanced at Leilani, Wynnstan, Sigmund, Xhafer, and Gruffudd. He had fought against Sigmund before and knew his strength. In all honesty, he was confident he could defeat them in a one vs. one. However, the same could not be said about a one vs. five.
His expression was grim.
Wotan said coldly, “If you can’t even defeat them, you have no right to join forces with me.”
