On the banks of the Amu Darya River, there is an ancient manor that occupies a large area.

This manor is one of Cronin's residences, or rather, one of his residences in this country.

As the gods of the 'universe', they pay great attention to their own safety, especially...after the disaster.

In the past, gods would usually be at the 'universe' headquarters, which was an independent space, very hidden and very safe.

But since that disaster, the upper levels of the 'universe' have had some shadows over the independent space.

Even though the current headquarters is provided by the Kona tribe and is said to be very safe... they are rarely there in normal times.

In comparison, there are other dangers outside, but this danger is not fatal.

And the collapse of the independent space is really like death and no life.

Everything inside will be destroyed.

In the deepest part of the manor, in a tall building, Cronin sat on the sofa and looked at the huge screen in front of him.

The screen is divided into several blocks, and there are people on each block.

This is a video conference, discussing the X-god who has been missing for many years and...Pearson.

Pearson couldn't be contacted, and the people he went with couldn't be contacted either.

This situation is enough to explain something.

Pearson failed and was either captured or killed by God X.

At this moment, the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Even through the screen, Cronin could feel the mood of the gods.

"Tell me everything."

At the top of the screen, there is the largest split screen, with an old man with gray hair on it.

He is Elsie, the main god of the ‘universe’ and the current helmsman of the ‘universe’.

In fact, his status is evident from this screen.

"Lord God, I think we should avoid God X."

One person spoke slowly.

"Judging from the news coming back from Kesnabo Island, coupled with Pearson's failure, the power controlled by God X is by no means comparable to what we have today."

"It's not that exaggerated. Our people are just too scattered, otherwise God X wouldn't be able to do it either."

Another person said.

"Don't forget, we have created so many strong people."

"But now, most of them are dead, and we don't have many strong ones left."

The person who just spoke said in a deep voice.

"In this case, what we have to do is not to be an enemy of God X, but to avoid him as much as possible."

"Yes, I think so too. At this time, we should develop as quickly as possible and create more strong people... As long as there are more strong people, we can be invincible."

"..."

The people on the screen started a discussion.

"Cronin, why don't you speak?"

Elsie's voice came from the screen.

"Ah? I was thinking about something just now."

Cronin calmed down and said.

"With our current strength, we can still fight God X once... However, if we fail, it may take us a long time to recover."

"Fight it once..."

Elsie looked at Cronin, knowing that this was the truth.

Although it doesn’t mean that everything is wiped out, it will take a long time to recover.

Is it worth it?

"Don't ignore one thing. If God

God x, [Dragon Emperor] will not let us go either."

Another person spoke.

"Well, that's why I hesitate."

Elsie nodded, took out a pipe, and lit it.

"I would like to ask, what kind of existence is this God X?"

Someone asked, he was new to the position and didn’t know God X.

"A terrifying presence."

Cronin looked at this man and said slowly.

"..."

Others were silent and did not refute, including Elsie.

This surprised the 'newcomer'. Is it so scary?

No wonder they are facing a formidable enemy.

"Based on my understanding of God X, I think what we should discuss now is...how to prevent him from finding us, rather than how to get rid of him."

A man in his fifties who looked quite elegant said.

"Owen, do you think God X will come to us on his own initiative?"

After hearing this, someone asked.

"That's right."

The man known as 'Owen' nodded.

"He now controls powerful experiences. Now that the 'universe' has appeared, will he let us go? I don't think so."

"..."

Cronin raised his hand and pinched his temples gently. He didn't know why, but he felt a little uneasy.

"So, shouldn't we discuss how to defend? Defend first, and then find a way to attack... Otherwise, everything will be a joke."

Owen said again.

"..."

Silence, silence on the screen.

Are the majestic gods of the universe going to force a person to think about defense or even escape?

This was somewhat unacceptable to them.

In their eyes, as the gods of the 'universe', they are supposed to be above this world.

Even if it doesn't work for now, it will definitely work in the future.

"God X must die. Unless he dies, we will all be in danger."

Elsie looked at the screen and said in a deep voice.

"But before that, I think Owen's suggestion is good. We need to be more hidden... Let's go to Hoh Xil Island as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will give you the new coordinates."

"good."

Everyone nodded and had no opinion on this.

Although it is a bit shadowy for the independent space, I have to say that it will not collapse... the security level there is much higher than outside.

"Pearson's side still needs to check to see if he was killed or captured..."

Elsie continued.

"Fortunately, the coordinates of Hoh Xil Island have changed. Even if he told me, God X would be hard to find... When we meet, we will discuss how to deal with God X!"

"Um."

Everyone nodded again, and that was all they could do now.

"In addition, call all x, and a... especially the masters, and gather them in a short time."

Elsie ordered again.

"We need to gather all the power we can muster now to destroy God X."

"Where is the Kona tribe? Do you need their help?"

someone asked.
