Chapter 103: 83 Watch me add some color for Mother Gaia

Damn, I had no idea, but after today’s look, the Empire is simply teeming with talent. If we were in medieval Europe, everyone here could start a rebellion so fierce it would bash some brains in... From this perspective, perhaps the Catastrophe Legion did us a favor?

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad, everyone looks spirited indeed. I thought today’s meeting would be just a tedious act, but since everyone present is a contemporary hero, there’s no need for beating around the bush. Let’s speak your minds, let’s start with you... Secondary Assistant?"

After everyone’s self-introductions, Le Cheng laughed and looked at the old man who identified himself as Gilgamesh, the Secondary Assistant.

Among the twenty-four Knight Ministers present, each has different significance. Like Chief Knight Lancelot and the Grand Secretary—who apart from introducing themselves—showed no intention of speaking, clearly, they are the decision-makers second only to Morgan. Everyone else are the discussants.

As for the discussion topics, they are simple. Once Morgan disclosed Le Cheng’s identity, the entire operational policy of the Empire needed adjustment. To put it mildly, this concerns the fate of the entire Empire. Broadly speaking, it’s about the survival of the whole world, not something Morgan can determine alone.

Even if Sigma were alive, he would consult his ministers before making a decision.

Gilgamesh blinked, realizing that given his position, it was indeed most suitable for him to speak. He stroked his whisker, stood up, and said, "Since Divine Envoy has personally nominated me, forgive my presumptuousness."

"Firstly, regarding your identity, Divine Envoy, it has been verified by the Queen and none of us here, including myself, have any objections. After a century of longing, this world has finally received the attention of a deity. We all genuinely feel excited and grateful. However, our enemy is also a deity, and one of the most powerful in the universe, Khorne. Whether the protection of Gaia God can help us defeat Khorne, please enlighten us, Divine Envoy."

Hearing this, everyone’s ears perked up.

To ask the Empire to have faith in Gaia might sound straightforward, but it’s a herculean task indeed. It would involve not only remodeling temples throughout the land but also disseminating the deity’s name and stories to all citizens, requiring manpower, finances, and time. If truly effective, all sacrifices would be worthwhile. However, if it turns out fruitless in the end, the enormous manpower and financial resources would have been a complete wasteful exercise.

Perhaps for ordinary people, faith is a pure matter.

But for them, having faith in a deity equates to clinging to a powerful supporter; first, they must assess if this supporter is strong enough.

Le Cheng chuckled and didn’t answer the question directly. Instead, he questioned back, "Let me ask, Secondary Assistant, when Emperor Sigma founded the Empire two hundred years ago, did he have absolute confidence and certainty that he would defeat the Catastrophe Legion?"

The Secondary Assistant’s expression paused, a trace of reminiscence flickering in his eyes, "Two hundred years ago, none of us were born, how the former Emperor felt at that time is unknown to anyone, but... when occasionally discussing this question before, the former Emperor merely said that he made the right gamble. In my opinion, he probably had no absolute confidence or certainty."

"That’s it, then." Le Cheng shrugged his shoulders, "A task unused, no one can guarantee its success, so I cannot answer your question. Indeed, I have not seen Khorne nor know about breaking Its neck, and even with the protection of Gaia, you might not be able to completely defeat the Catastrophe Legion because you yourselves are the ones who go into battle. If you only place your hopes on the deity, perhaps in the end, it would achieve nothing."

"However, I can assure you of one thing; when you face Khorne, when you face the Catastrophe Legion, and still decide to fight to the last moment of your lives, Gaia will determine not to give up on you, and the will of the deity will always be with you."

"Of course, so will I."

"Whenever there’s that possibility, I can return to this world at any time and fight alongside you."

Le Cheng felt, at this moment, like a charlatan sketching a beautiful pie in the sky to the indecisive believers, yet he indeed had reasons to believe Gaia would not abandon this world, as this is the first world to worship Gaia.

Whether it is the Order Four Gods or the Chaos Four Gods, their faith spreads all over the corners of the universe, pulling randomly one group out is at least a planetary-level army. Most often, they do not even need to intervene themselves; their followers fight for their gods across the corners of the world.

Like this world’s Catastrophe Legion, whether it’s directly Khorne or a high-ranking follower under Him is yet an unknown.

To put it excessively, this world might not even merit a glance from Khorne.

But for Gaia, Its significance is completely different.

If Gaia indeed intends to compete with the Order Chaos Eight Gods, It must establish Its own influence, and a world being invaded by Chaos and unprotected by Order is undoubtedly the best selection.

After listening to Le Cheng’s words, those present exchanged glances, some of them even bowed their heads and whispered secretly.
