Chapter 1 The Cooperation

Shirley quickly reached a cooperation agreement on behalf of the monster world with Thor’s Norse pantheon. Of course, the natural treasures and other resources would only be provided after Zeus and the others were repelled.

With the agreement settled, Shirley finished her drink and prepared to bid farewell to Thor. After all, this wasn't the height of the emergency, and she needed to return to make preparations.

Setting down her glass, Shirley stopped Thor from pouring more wine and said, "Alright, that's enough drinking for now. Let's have a real good time next time."

"There's a lot going on right now, so I won't keep you company."

Thor understood and laughed heartily, "Alright, next time we'll definitely drink our fill, hahaha!"

Shirley nodded, disguised herself again, and headed towards the portal.

Watching Shirley's figure disappear from sight, Thor poured himself a large drink and sighed, "I hope that Zeus guy is found quickly, so I can fulfill the contract and get those natural treasures to restore the world sooner."

...

Lynn left the tavern looking utterly bewildered.

As soon as Lynn left, Demeter rose from her chair, looking both embarrassed and indignant.

Aibel looked at Demeter's chest, paused for a moment, and couldn't help but giggle.

"Hehehe..."

Demeter's chest was covered in seven or eight different colors. Aibel knew that these colors were impossible to wash out and would only fade away on their own after a few days.

Most importantly, Demeter was definitely stained underneath as well, hehe.

Looking at the colorful mess on her chest, Demeter couldn't help but scowl. Why did he have to come back so early? Couldn't he have come back later? Why did he have to appear the moment she finished putting the items away?

She glared fiercely at the gloating Aibel before leaving the tavern and flying towards her temple on Sky Island.

Until the stains faded, Demeter probably wouldn't be going out. After all, the dye had a certain...fragrance.

...

Shirley returned from the God Realm and immediately headed towards the altar.

Entering through the back door, she began to check on their progress. Thirteen people were currently undergoing the trials for the Godking position. If they succeeded, her monster world would have enough combat power.

Although she had reached an agreement with Thor's Norse pantheon, she still needed to strengthen herself.

Besides, these were her own people, more trustworthy than the goddesses recruited from the God Halls.

Six of them were from the elf race, including the High Priestess and Lina's mother. The other seven were monster girls. Aside from those she had personally guided, there were also some monsters who had broken through on their own, including three rare male monsters.

This showed the high potential of the monsters. Otherwise, so many monsters wouldn't have broken through to the Godking level after the world's restrictions were lifted.

Not to mention, there were quite a few mid-level and high-level gods in the monster world now.

With the support of those special monster buildings, the monsters had broken through the limits of their own races.

Moreover, Shirley hadn't expected that the elves would also be considered monsters, albeit classified as monster girls.

...

Lynn returned to his treehouse, took a shower, and then received a message from his aunt, telling him to gather at the tavern to discuss something.

Demeter had just changed her clothes and received a message from Shirley. Looking at her hands stained with dye from taking off her clothes, she sighed and put on a pair of black gloves before setting off.

Isisfe, who was organizing various god-slaying weapons, magic arrays, divine spells, and other materials, also flew to the tavern with a large pile of documents.

Soon, the four of them were sitting in the tavern.

Looking at his aunt, Lynn asked in confusion, "Aunt, why did you call us here?"

Of the four, only Lynn didn't know that a Godking was planning to target them.

Shirley explained the situation, including the contract and trade with Thor.

Lynn: (⊙﹏⊙)？

Lynn looked puzzled and said, "Have I been discovered? Didn't you say they had to find me first before they could enter the monster world?"

Demeter shook her head and said to Lynn, "You haven't been discovered, but they're planning it now. Besides, who knows if there are any strange worlds or strange abilities that could allow them to discover your existence?"

Isisfe put down her book and said, "Finding you is just the easiest way to enter the monster world. If they know the world's coordinates, there are other ways to break in."

Demeter nodded in agreement, "However, if they come in that way, it will be easy for us to detect, and they will be suppressed by the world, weakening their combat power significantly."

Lynn: "I see. Then I guess I won't be challenging the tower for a while. I'll break through to the Godking level first."

"I'm just one step away from breaking through."

Demeter blinked and asked Lynn in disbelief, "Are you serious? Isn't that a little too fast?"

"Maybe you should take some time to stabilize first?"

Isisfe also nodded and said, "That's right, Lynn, you should stabilize yourself first. If you fail to break through, you'll only become a half-Godking, a defective Godking. That doesn't sound good, does it?"

Looking at their worried expressions, Lynn smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't break through easily unless I'm sure."

Seeing Lynn's confident demeanor, the two could only nod. After all, in the end, he had to get through it alone, and no one else could help.

Shirley clapped her hands and said, "It's good that you're confident, Lynn. Don't rush anything, there's still plenty of time."

"They don't even know the location of the monster world yet, so take your time. Don't take too big of a step."

Lynn nodded.

Shirley: "The reason I called you here now is to start arranging the defenses of the monster world. Although their strength will be suppressed in the monster world, our attacks will also damage the world."

"I don't want to have to restore the world from the cave again."

"So, if possible, we should try to keep them out of the world. This will also prevent Bolo, Bimi, and other old gods from entering the world to obtain godhood, since they are local beings, and the world won't suppress them."
