Chapter 313: Heir Of God!
Although he had a trump card, Lu Li still thanked her, “Sister Tong, thank you. Fortunately, you arrived in time.”
“It’s nothing, this is what I should do. If you want to thank someone, thank the Family Head,” Qu Tongtong dared not take credit.
After all, she was just following Qu Suxin’s orders.
“Sister Qu, I should thank you too, thank you both,” Lu Li said with a smile.
After thanking them, Lu Li asked, “Would you like to come to my place for a while?”
Qu Tongtong shook her head and refused, “No need, Lord. I cannot leave the Secret Realm for too long.”
Lu Li nodded in understanding.
This large Gardevoir was clearly not a Pokémon with an owner. It should be the Overlord of some Secret Realm. Qu Suxin must have formed a contract with this Overlord to achieve what she has today.
What Lu Li didn’t expect was that this Overlord would be willing to do this much for the Qu Family.
Qu Tongtong came and left quickly.
Watching the Gardevoir and Qu Tongtong disappear in an instant, Freya sighed with emotion, “This is the peak of Psychic Power.”
Lu Li smiled noncommittally.
For normal people, Master Level was indeed the pinnacle.
Yao Yifei said worriedly, “The Gan Family is coming for Melmetal and the others. The Gan Family will not give up so easily.”
Lu Li nodded with a grim expression.
He was also contemplating whether to ask Gimmighoul to come and raze the Gan Family.
But Gimmighoul was still busy extracting Law Crystals. It felt a bit inappropriate to trouble it all the time.
But what kind of logic allows one to guard against thieves for a thousand days? Once targeted by the Gan Family, if he didn’t fight back, there would be problems at home sooner or later.
“Let’s go back first,” Lu Li said with a somber face.
Yao Yifei and Freya both nodded.
…………
The embarrassed elders of the Gan Family, who had fled, spoke after flying a certain distance, Gan Xin said helplessly, “To snatch the Heir of God without harming the Rainbow Hero, it seems the Great Elder must personally intervene.”
The Second Elder also nodded, “Indeed.”
If it were a Heavenly King Level, just getting close would be detected by a Heavenly King Level Psychic Type Pokémon. Only Champion Level Pokémon could approach the manor silently.
And it had to be a Champion Level Psychic Type Pokémon. In the entire Gan Family, only the Great Elder possessed a Champion Level Psychic Type Pokémon.
“Let’s go back and report this to the Great Elder first,” the Third Elder said resignedly.
“Sigh, this battle was too frustrating,” the Second Elder also lamented with frustration.
To have the Heir of God in the hands of the Rainbow Hero was simply the ultimate torture.
…………
After returning to the manor, as soon as everyone sat down, Lu Li asked, “Sister Yao, do you know the Gan Family?”
Yao Yifei nodded.
“The Gan Family is a family that rose only 200 years ago. Although their foundation is not deep, they have produced Master Level Trainers.”
“The strongest in the Gan Family is currently the Great Elder. He broke through to Champion Level 20 years ago. I don’t know if he has broken through to Master Level yet.”
After listening to Yao Yifei’s description, Lu Li’s brows furrowed.
The strength of the Gan Family was even greater than he had imagined.
Moreover, if a Champion had come this time, they might not even have had a chance to resist.
Freya asked curiously, “Doesn’t your Alliance manage this matter?”
Yao Yifei said calmly, “The Alliance didn’t come today, which means the Alliance doesn’t plan to intervene.”
As a Gym Leader of the Alliance, he knew the Alliance’s character too well.
Freya asked curiously, “Isn’t the Alliance worried that Lu Li will bring divine beasts to teach the Gan Family a lesson? If a Master Level battle is involved, how can the Alliance stay out of it?”
“That’s something for you to consider,” Yao Yifei said he didn’t know either.
Yao Yifei guessed, “It’s also possible that the Alliance wants to use Lu Li’s hand to probe the Gan Family, or to suppress the Gan Family.”
“At such a critical juncture, is the Alliance still thinking about suppressing internal forces?” Lu Li was also stunned by Yao Yifei’s guess.
This operation was so similar to my Qing Dynasty.
Yao Yifei nodded and said meaningfully, “The Alliance’s foundation has never been those powerful families, but three invincible legions.”
“Sigh,” Lu Li sighed and said helplessly, “It seems I have to trouble Gimmighoul again.”
Yao Yifei suggested, “I think you can call Principal Wen and ask him to warn the Gan Family.”
“You should use the God of a Thousand Faces less, otherwise, it will easily convey the wrong impression to the outside world that you can use divine power at any time,” Yao Yifei explained.
Lu Li asked curiously, “Isn’t that a good thing?”
“That may not necessarily be a good thing,” Yao Yifei smiled meaningfully.
Freya also added, “What if a divine beast crisis occurs again? If you can appear as if you can summon deities at any time, the Alliance will definitely push you to take the blame.”
Lu Li: “…”
Lu Li really wanted to say that he had no morals and didn’t need to worry about moral coercion, but he also truly didn’t want to be morally condemned, nor did he want to be treated as a savior by the world.
“Then I’ll ask Old Principal Wen’s opinion,” Lu Li nodded, then took out his phone and dialed Wen Gongmao.
After a while, the call was connected.
Wen Gongmao’s vigorous voice came from the phone, “Lu Li, what do you want from this old man again?”
“Principal, it’s like this…”
Lu Li told Wen Gongmao about today’s events, emphasizing that he was prepared to use divine power.
“The Gan Family is simply outrageous!” Wen Gongmao’s angry voice came from the phone.
Wen Gongmao took the initiative to take on the matter, “Leave this matter to me. I will personally go and warn the Gan Family.”
Wen Gongmao certainly didn’t care about the Gan Family’s life or death; he cared about the impact of a Master Level battle.
A battle between Champion Level Pokémon was already destructive, and a battle between Master Level Pokémon, even if both sides intended to control the scope, the aftermath would be enough to destroy all buildings within hundreds of kilometers.
Moreover, with Lu Li’s ruthless nature of cutting the grass and removing the roots, if he really brought a deity to their doorstep, the Gan Family would absolutely face annihilation.
At that time, the Gan Family would fight for their lives to continue their family legacy. Once they fought desperately, the disaster brought by Master Level Pokémon would only be greater, and the battle would surely affect the entire region.
“Principal, you also know that I am a person who understands boundaries. If the Gan Family bothers me again, I will have to take Gimmighoul to the Gan Family,” Lu Li also expressed his stance.
He could forgive the Gan Family’s offense this time for the sake of commoners, but it would be only this once.
Well! The main reason was that he didn’t want to trouble Gimmighoul, who was “mining” at the moment, as Gimmighoul was already tired enough.
“Okay! I will convey your intentions to him,” Wen Gongmao nodded helplessly, he knew Lu Li’s personality too well.
This time, it was mainly because the other party suffered no losses, and the elders of the Gan Family had intentionally held back during the battle, so this matter could be discussed.
If the elders of the Gan Family hadn’t been smart enough, Lu Li wouldn’t be calling him now, but would have already brought Gimmighoul to knock on the Gan Family’s door.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Li instructed Freya, “Stay at home for the next few days and watch out for the Gan Family trying to steal Melmetal.”
“If the Gan Family sends more Champion Level Pokémon to steal Melmetal, you don’t need to stop them, just notify me,” Lu Li added, still worried.
Lu Li was also afraid that Freya would go all out against them. Even if he got revenge, Freya’s losses would be irreparable.
Freya nodded.
Although she also wanted to know what it felt like to battle a Champion, it was just curiosity, and she didn’t intend to use her companion to satisfy this curiosity.
…………
After Wen Gongmao hung up the phone, he immediately reported the situation to the Alliance.
Wen Gongmao said very seriously, “President, I don’t know what you are thinking! But for the sake of the Alliance, we must restrain both sides!”
This was also the reason why the Jiuzhou Alliance was established, hoping to have a strong third party to prevent two powerful families from going berserk.
If they went berserk, it would be the commoners who suffered.
For the conflicts between these powerful families, the Alliance generally played the role of a referee.
“So serious?” The Alliance President frowned and then asked curiously, “Do you know the Gan Family’s objective?”
Wen Gongmao explained, “It is said that the Gan Family covets that kid’s Pokémon.”
“No, things are definitely not that simple.” The Alliance President did not believe that the Gan Family would risk offending the Rainbow Hero for a simple Pokémon.
The Alliance President said, “How about this, our Alliance can be the referee and let them negotiate at the table. You go and probe what the Gan Family truly wants and what valuable items the Rainbow Hero is hiding.”
Hearing this, Wen Gongmao’s eyes narrowed. He roughly understood the President’s intentions.
“President, what if it’s a divine beast?” Wen Gongmao probed.
Knowing that the other party was testing him, the Alliance President smiled and said:
“We can’t covet a divine beast that has already grown. An un-grown divine beast might not grow either. Our Alliance would not stoop to coveting a divine beast in the hands of the Rainbow Hero.”
“I hope the President can keep this in mind,” Wen Gongmao nodded noncommittally.
Wen Gongmao did not believe that a President could resist the temptation of a divine beast.
Although divine beasts and deities were two different concepts, divine beasts and Master Level Pokémon were two different concepts.
Divine beasts could seize authority through challenges, meaning divine beasts had the opportunity to become true deities, although this possibility was extremely slim.
But for humans, even this slim possibility was enough to drive them insane.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Gongmao, along with the First Tier Pokémon, disappeared from the office.
…………
Gan Family Ancestral Land.
As an old Master Level Trainer of the Alliance, Wen Gongmao’s presence was undeniable.
He almost made the entire Gan Family feel like they were facing a formidable enemy with just his face.
The Gan Family Patriarch immediately invited the Great Elder.
After respectfully pouring Wen Gongmao a cup of tea, the Great Elder asked with a smile, “Master Wen, what brings you to our Gan Family?”
Wen Gongmao did not answer but went straight to the point, “Did your Gan Family clash with the Rainbow Hero?”
Hearing this, the Great Elder’s eyes narrowed. He knew this old man was not here for pleasantries.
At the same time, he roughly guessed the situation with the Second Elder.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Second Elder was either intercepted by you, or the mission failed.
The smile on the Great Elder’s face instantly turned cold, “I don’t think the Alliance interfering is a good thing, as this is a private matter between our Gan Family and the Rainbow Hero.”
“I think you should thank me,” Wen Gongmao said with a meaningful smile.
“Oh?” The Great Elder looked at him curiously, as if saying, “I’m waiting to see your performance.”
“The one who stopped the Earth God was that Rainbow Hero, and he commanded a deity we have never seen before. Mind you… a deity!” Wen Gongmao reminded him.
“What?”
The Great Elder’s expression changed, and he looked at Wen Gongmao in disbelief.
He wanted to see even the slightest trace of a lie on the other’s face, but unfortunately, there was none. Wen Gongmao’s face was full of mockery.
“Also… not long ago, he took his deity to the Golden Triangle Region because the Divine Cult destroyed his home,” Wen Gongmao added.
Sitting down, the Great Elder completely believed him.
He had originally thought the other party was just a Rainbow Hero, but he never expected him to be a terrifying existence capable of controlling a deity.
After all, even the one deep in the ancestral land could only be called a divine beast, still a distance from what was above.
There is a saying: all beings are equal below deities.
The beings here also included Pokémon referred to as divine beasts.
What if that young man visited with a deity?
Cold sweat began to break out on the Great Elder’s back.
This feeling was like the entire family had walked back from the gates of hell.
Seeing that he had sufficiently frightened the other party, Wen Gongmao then spoke leisurely, “However, fortunately, you encountered the Rainbow Hero, and your Gan Family’s elders were wise enough, so now it is I who am sitting here talking with you.”
“Hoo.”
After exhaling heavily, the Great Elder, who had forcibly calmed himself, asked, “Why don’t we, the Gan Family, know such important information?”
This move felt like being tricked by the Alliance, which had hidden such crucial information.
Could the identity of the Rainbow Hero be compared to a Trainer who could control deities?
The former merely had a backer, while the latter was the biggest backer himself.
However, the Great Elder still had a sliver of disbelief, because throughout human history, very few people could truly control deities.
There were only a handful recorded in history, including the Ideal and Reality Hero.
“Because I only informed the Alliance about this matter a few days ago,” Wen Gongmao said with a smile.
“Fine! So you old scoundrel hid the information,” the Great Elder was furious in his heart, but considering the other party’s strength, he could only put on a smiling face and continued to ask, “What did the Alliance say? What did that person say?”
Wen Gongmao also recalled the Alliance President’s instructions, so he asked, “What does your Gan Family want?”
Hearing this, the Great Elder hesitated. He did not want the matter of the Heir of God to be known by the Alliance.
However, considering the current situation, the Gan Family had to present a sufficiently large trump card.
The Great Elder blurted out, “The Heir of God, the divine offspring left in the human world by the deity our Gan Family has worshipped for generations.”
