I Am the God of Games

Chapter 380 You’re In Trouble!

After claiming control over the Elven Synchronized Intellect Nation (SIN), Xi Wei was playing with it without restraint like a child who just got his hands on a beloved toy.

To put it in Xi Wei’s own words, ‘a fantasy world without floating island or hanging cities are hamburgers without lettuce-once that was accomplished, he found that he had gained some extent of Authority connected to ‘skies’. He thought about it, and decided that Gaim taking to the air was perhaps a sign that his believers had been free from the shackles of the earth, and as such gained Authority in that aspect. While there was not telling if that was the actual case, gaining some Authority out of nowhere was not bad.

In fact, Xi Wei was very thrilled.

It was worth mentioning that Zothor, the God of Sky and Thunder and one of the Seven Divine Fathers held the Authority over the skies. There was no telling it he sensed that Xi Wei had stolen a part of his Authority...

If he counted the Earthweaver and the Prince of Darkness, the number of Divine Fathers whom Xi Wei had crossed was now three, and it would be more than half if he crossed another...

Be that as it may, since the debts had piled up and there was no quick removal for them anyway, Xi Wei left that matter out of sight and out of mind. After all, he intended to push on before the other gods realized what he was doing, and improve his powers as best as he could.

“By the way, the divinity of Ogayo, the God of Flowers and Fertile Earth whose divinity I claimed had some Earth Authority. Add that to the little bit of Sky Authority thanks to Gaim, doesn’t that mean I hold Authority over both sky and earth?”.

While that bit of Authority was not significant in actual terms, Xi Wei nonetheless cheerfully designed new classes based on his Authority on those aspects. Aside from that, Eleena’s performance in the Elven SIN event had been remarkable and very worthy of praise, and she did not let down Xi Wei’s hopes in picking her as his Saintess-in-training.

Since she had shown growth and was no longer the little loli who only sucks on lollipops, it was about time Xi Wei design a trial with her in mind, so that she could formally be promoted as the Saintess of the Church of Games.

After all, the presence of a high-ranked cleric in a church greatly affects the unity of the church itself.

And with Xi Wei having no intentions of choosing a pope, having a Saintess would firmly keep his believers in line.

In addition, the Saintess could act as the Church of Games’ banner, so that the Players would know whom they should listen when they need to work together...

It’s also worth mentioning here that Xi Wei had considered whether he should change the name of the Church of Games to the Church of Gaim since the former was too simple and direct—if they were going to work together or fight other churches, the other side would immediately know that they were dealing with Xi Wei’s believers once the Church of Games was mentioned.

That would be alright if Xi Wei was a boss on the level of the Seven Heavenly Fathers, but he was just an Intermediate God right now. His reputation alone was far from the level of putting fear in his adversaries with just a mentioning.

But after some hesitation, Xi Wei decided to drop the idea.

First off, the Church of Games had a certain extent of protection. Just like how many other churches would underestimate the believers of Grimund—the God of Travels and Arts, they would not be aware that Grimund was quite formidable in divine power. Likewise, while the Church of Games sounded curiously weak, the Players could use the advantage of enemies underestimating and easily defeat them. In fact, they had a chance to turn the tables even if the odds were against them. How wonderful would that be?

And with no popes or bishop to handle miscellaneous matters, using the forums or the System notifications to indicate that their church was changing names had a weirdly childish sense to it. That was why changing names would have to wait until Xi Wei had screened through a pope.

“Still, compared to Eleena, Leah’s performance in this event is a little poorer.”

Though both of them were special-classes, Eleena, who had always gone on adventures with Edward and the others had long since surpassed first-rate as the Saintess-in-training, becoming the strongest Player in the truest sense of the term.

Although Leah, the Warrior Princess was quite diligent, she was excessively protected by Old Vanke and the other Tierra remnants to the point that her combat instincts had degraded considerably compared to the time when Xi Wei had first met her. Her performance did not excel even when she was pitted against normal Players like Edward who had no special abilities, which left Xi Wei rather disappointed.

If this went on, how long would they have to wait before they could rebuild Tierra, a nation for the Players?

“Should I directly provide guidance by assigning a main quest?” Xi Wei mused, scratching a spot that was probably his chin

The current average level of the Players had increased. Unless there was a doubling or tripling of Players within a short time, the Players’ overall ability had arrived upon a bottleneck. Apart from Players who only develop their Life Skills, most Players were now quite formidable.

They were now not a power to be ignored even when ranked across the continent.

And with the creation of Gaim which provides the Players a route of escape, the last bit of hidden worry was resolved.

If Xi Wei was not careful about the three Divine Fathers that might hold a grudge against him and afraid that the players would draw enough of their attention to get to him from across thousands of miles and blow him up, Xi Wei would long since had his Players go on an age of conquest...

“Either way, we should stay discreet. Let’s start with recruitment and resource gathering -a god from Hua Xia at least understands the fundamentals of increasing stockpile of food resources.

“As for Zonyan, it is time to conquer the Grayclaw tribe so that the Players could settle down and build a base to explore new frontiers.”

While the Long Ears tribe would survive, they still remain in poverty-stricken with no good crop yields nearby. That was why most Players were not bothered to go to them after heading there once or twice.

After all, the most useful thing about the Western Continent had right now was the seafood of the Dark Tidal Coast, but even that was lacking compared to the scrumptiousness and freshness of Gray Fjord Cape seafood. Moreover, the frogmen who lived by the seaside for generations were much better than the rabbitfolk at cooking seafood...

Therefore, the Vierlin Plains where the Grayclaw tribe dwells would make a much better base for the Players.

From that perspective, Xi Wei realized that he had much to do at the moment.

Just as he pulled out the Pantheon Computer, and began thinking what rewards he should motivate the Players with or the wording of his various quests, the divine power surveillance placed outside his divine kingdom suddenly surged when he typed away.

It was Aslan, the Great Lion.

Not quite an unfamiliar guest.

“Why would the lion come here?”

Xi Wei mumbled with suspicion while disabling the divine-powered traps he put in place.

Then, when Aslan eventually, entered his divine kingdom he immediately barked, “Xi Wei, you’re in trouble!”
