Chapter 670: Chapter 499 Considered Professional_2

He pulled a piece of clothing out of his storage bag and put it on; normally, this item was hidden within his scales. The fire dragon didn’t bring it along in Hazy City because the place where the anomaly appeared wasn’t far from his lair, plus at that time he hadn’t mastered the Transformation technique and had no need to carry anything.

As a result, he simply went there in person.

"You look a bit better like this, but I can’t say much about a brawny man," Zheng Yichen’s mouth twitched slightly, "So, that Demigod offended the Dragon Tribe and still lives in the city? So brazen?"

"How else could he live if not there? That’s a Demigod with top-level ’father-calling’ skills. Besides, this world still turns without the Dragon Tribe; the competition his business faces here doesn’t fall under the influence of the Dragon Tribe Chamber of Commerce; the chambers of commerce that cooperate with the Dragon Tribe don’t gain many conveniences here either."

But business still must go on, right?

Zheng Yichen found this rather realistic. There were several large empires in this world, and even more smaller nations, mainly because there were so many gods and Demigods. Any Demigod who felt bored one day might just prop up a small country, and the presence of a Demigod alone could solidify its foundation.

True Gods weren’t overly enthusiastic about interfering in the Mortal Realm, at most they would monitor a few related churches. Klakauska had told Zheng Yichen before that the True Gods of this world were not merely Faith Gods; to a True God, faith was like a type of currency.

Similar to magic crystals, high-energy crystals could be used both as currency and as powerful energy sources.

But just because Gods don’t interfere much doesn’t mean they don’t pay attention. Whenever a divine war breaks out, it involves both high and low; Demigods, on the other hand, are quite troublesome.

Klakauska had explained this to Zheng Yichen on their journey. Demigods have powerful ’call on the father’ abilities. While it might be difficult to kill Demigods who have wronged them directly, they can make them ’physically repent’ by sealing them. Both gods and Demigods live too long.

It’s not unusual for parents and offspring to go centuries without seeing each other; most of the time, a god’s concern for their progeny is limited to ’are they dead or not?’ If they are dead, there would be a sensation; if not dead... well then, that’s that unless a True God pays more attention to their offspring, then they’d know about being controlled, but not much else.

Most of the time, True Gods may not be aware that their less-regarded offspring have been sealed.

Therefore, although Demigods act brazenly, they aren’t blindly reckless.

"How do we get him to come out? I don’t want to have another city fight," he said.

After the City of Evil Spirits incident, where he had no better option and ended up fighting directly within the city, this time surely he couldn’t just start a brawl in the city again to deal with a being that isn’t an Evil Spirit?

"That’s easy, just directly challenge him to a duel," the fire dragon replied.

"Just... that simple?" When he heard the fire dragon’s method, Zheng Yichen was somewhat surprised. What status did Demigods have in this world that they could be challenged so casually?

"Of course, Demigods usually have a lot of free time... um, it should be like that. But if you want to challenge a Demigod, you need to demonstrate some strength, at the very least, defeat some of his subordinates," the fire dragon said, knocking his palm lightly, "You know about the hero battling the Demon King, right? In my world, some Demigods have taken over the Demon King’s job."

Some Demigods who play for fun will follow their own rules; they might reward or bless a hero if they’re successfully challenged. If it’s the kind of Demigod who hates losing and throws a tantrum when defeated within the rules of the game, they’re not uncommon, but such Demigods reportedly don’t have an easy time in that circle.

After all, if they flip the table too often, it ruins the game for everyone. Therefore, when some Demigods realize that there are others not playing by the rules and starting such ’games’, they’ll support the hero from behind and participate in the game in a different way. Tsk, they’re all so idle!

Zheng Yichen was silently struck by the absurdity of this world; he continued to inquire, "...then, are there demons in this world?"

The fire dragon replied straightforwardly, "Of course, there are demons, and there are Demon Gods who are also gods; the descendants of Demon Gods are also Demigods, and these ’games’ were originally started by the descendants of Demon Gods."

Judging by the fire dragon’s expression, Zheng Yichen knew he also felt like ridiculing, even appearing to want to make fun of the Dragon Tribe.

"So the Dragon Tribe also has Demigods, right?"

"Cough cough, well isn’t there the trope of heroes fighting evil dragons? If it’s a real evil dragon, some of the Demigods from the Dragon Tribe might support a hero when they have nothing better to do. Occasionally, they’d even play the part of an aged, battle-weary sage dragon to instruct the hero on how to defeat those truly evil dragons, when in reality, once they shed that facade, they’re stronger than ever."

Zheng Yichen had no response to that; so be it. In this world, Demigods could be good or bad, but they had one thing in common: lots of time and powerful patrons, making even the good ones quite playful.

Klakauska enjoyed telling Zheng Yichen about the customs of his native world, and once they returned, his penchant for gossip soared.

Later, the fire dragon also told Zheng Yichen that when roaming as an evil dragon, the Dragon Tribe was actually somewhat better compared to others. The aesthetic tastes of the Dragon Tribe differed from those of humanoid species, and many Demigods were humanoid; sharing common ground in aesthetic tastes as humanoids led to some biased outcomes in these ’games.’
