Doomsday Code

Chapter 1020 Alliance Code

Upon hearing Chen Cheng's apology, Adolf could only manage a wry smile.

"What is there to be ashamed of or sorry about? If it weren't for the healing medicine Your Majesty gave us, and Miss Emil's help with her essence, we two old men would probably be buried in the ground by now."

"Moreover, this matter cannot be entirely attributed to His Majesty's status. Although there has been no resolution regarding the alchemical golem that was handed over back then, Pembes and I both know that the Alliance does not want to get involved in this matter."

At this moment, Pembez snorted and said:

"Why be so subtle? In my opinion, those old guys have lost their nerve. Anyway, the alchemist can't harm them, so of course they don't want to cause trouble."

They might even secretly curse us for being ungrateful and causing them a huge problem.

After Adolf and the others reminded him, Chen Cheng remembered the alchemical golem that had almost destroyed Huidun City.

At the time, the puppet incident made them all very nervous.

Now that I think about it, that guy was probably one of the people who chased me back then, otherwise he wouldn't have been eyeing the King's Sword I was carrying right away.

Upon closer examination, the place where that guy is hiding is probably the Hall of Worship within the five kingdoms. Perhaps it won't be long before they meet in their true forms.

"You have such a sharp eye, it makes you look good."

Do you realize that your words could influence His Majesty's misjudgment of the alliance? What if those old men actually side with the other side? I wonder what you'll do then.

Adolf seized the opportunity to berate Pembez, who was rendered speechless by the barrage of insults.

He realized that what he had just said might have been a bit too absolute. If Chen Cheng misjudged him and thought that the big shots in the alliance were just a bunch of incompetent people, and then stopped trying to fight for them, then he would truly be willing to die a thousand deaths.

"Well, Your Majesty, don't be fooled by how certain I sound. This is just my personal guess, so please don't take it to heart."

Chen Cheng smiled and shook his head, saying:

"I remember the alliance was a parliamentary system with twelve elders."

I suspect that not all of these twelve elders are as Professor Pence described, but there will certainly be one or two who are exactly as he described.

"I think the Alliance elders want to maintain a delicate balance between the Alliance and the Kingdom. They want the Kingdom's support, but they don't want to become a true vassal of the Kingdom."

Chen Cheng was no longer the clueless person he was before when it came to such a powerful force.

The three major powers have different attitudes towards the various kingdoms: one wants to be the sole ruler, one wants fair and equal cooperation, and the other wants both.

This self-righteous and arrogant group is naturally the Church, which is already thinking about establishing an earthly Papal Kingdom.

The Adventurers' Guild, with its transparent pricing, is purely a commission-based training organization.

And the last one is naturally the Academy Alliance.

The Academy Alliance is the one with the least historical foundation among the three. They were able to rise to prominence simply by taking advantage of the educational system resources established by the Empire in its final moments.

Then, relying on the alliance of twelve legendary figures and their control over top-tier magical knowledge, they became a powerful force.

However, because they rose so quickly, their foundation was very weak, and they had to cooperate with other countries to maintain the organization's vitality.

However, as they are among the three major powers, they do not want to lose face, so they often want the resources of the kingdoms while maintaining their aloof status.

It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that the countries are currently in a state of independent governance, the first to perish would be the Academy Alliance once the continent is unified again.

Therefore, Chen Cheng never put the alliance first in his mind from beginning to end.

His first choice was naturally the Adventurers' Guild, which not only had a grassroots foundation like the Church, but also had less of a deep entanglement of interests with the various kingdoms than the Alliance.

It can be said that the Adventurers' Guild was the first choice for the rebel forces to win over.

As long as we can get the guild's help, we won't have to worry about any soldiers or any strong troops.

"Alright, let's postpone this matter. There are only a few of us here now, and I have something important to tell you."

Immediately, Chen Cheng raised his hand and clenched his fist. A shielding magic appeared on his fist, and the entire room was immediately blocked from external perception.

"I just learned this in Navatuna. How is it? It should be fine, right?"

Adolf and the others were all looking at the acupoints on Chen Cheng's arm that were emitting a little light. Having studied magic for so long, they could naturally tell that the magic Chen Cheng was using was emanating from this bright spot.

Furthermore, the shielding spell used by Chen Cheng is actually a magic circle spell. Other magicians need to use it in conjunction with a magic circle, rather than releasing it with just one hand like he did.

This is because it involves not only the continuous consumption of magical energy required for magic arrays, but also because the complexity of the magic rune corridors makes it impossible to inscribe such magic onto the consciousness.

Unless he sacrificed his future career advancement.

"There's no need to make such a fuss. Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm the one who became a god before."

Chen Cheng's words shocked, or rather frightened, the people inside the room.

What did Chen Cheng just say? He said he was the senior who became a god before, and he was the new god that all the legendary powerhouses in the world were searching for.

This is even more outrageous than if he were the emperor of the empire.

Adolf grasped Chen Cheng's glowing arm with one hand, then looked at Chen Cheng with excited eyes and said:

"Is this your divine magic?"

Chen Cheng's self-disclosure of his identity as a god was based on his own considerations; this half-baked god currently has no cultivation methods whatsoever.

He did not consider himself a peerless genius who could create any cultivation method on his own.

Even if he could, he is currently preoccupied with many matters and has no time to meditate or research any new cultivation methods.

Since he couldn't do it himself, he naturally needed to ask for outside help. And who was better than Adolf and the others who had always known his path of cultivation?

Moreover, there was no need to hide his identity as a god; he was already so indifferent to his many problems that he was no longer bothered by them.

Moreover, revealing this to his family members who were worried about him could put their minds at ease a little.
