Chapter 2579 - 1126: Endless Heavenly Ladder
"Master, rest assured, I will train them well!" In Daphne’s voice, there was an undisguised excitement; she had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
This was an excellent chance for her to establish the authority of the Castle of Shadows among these newcomers.
"Control the scale." Gaven granted appropriate power.
It takes a bad person to deal with a bad person.
To handle these demons, Daphne, who has a background in evil god rituals, is an expert, more proficient than himself.
Once she finishes playing the bad cop, he will play the good cop.
Many strategic tricks are universal, whether among mortals, demons, or the true gods.
"I guarantee to satisfy you, Master. I will turn them into loyal dogs who serve you." Daphne enthusiastically promised.
After Gaven responded, he cut off the faith link and changed direction, heading back to the place they had just caused a commotion, Samoray.
Woken, the Goddess of Wealth, asked in surprise: "Isn’t that secret portal only open at specific times? Why are you going? Do you suspect those succubi are deceiving you?"
"They wouldn’t dare use such crude methods." Gaven replied with a smile, "But don’t forget, I possess road divine power, giving me unparalleled advantages in teleportation.
The portal others can’t use doesn’t mean I can’t.
This limited portal has a potential benefit: it can catch the enemy off guard and keep most pursuers outside."
"Makes sense." The Goddess of Wealth nodded involuntarily upon hearing this.
Specialization in one’s field.
The power of divine nature pushes this saying to the extreme.
The true gods in their respective divine domains are the top experts, ones to look up to.
The Goddess of Wealth claimed that in the ability to amass wealth, she was second to none in Felen, and no one dared to claim first.
Though Gaven did not dare boast that his achievements in the realm of roads and teleportation were equivalent, he was certainly among the top.
"The contract with the Voice of Grazte needs the Lady to handle it." Gaven also entrusted this professional task to the Goddess of Wealth.
"Alright." The Goddess of Wealth naturally didn’t decline.
The problem earlier wasn’t with the new contract but with the previous one.
She naturally wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.
Soon, a detailed contract was laid before Gaven and the Voice of Grazte.
Just like last time, the Goddess of Wealth maintained a neutral and objective stance, ensuring Gaven’s interests while also making sure the Voice of Grazte obtained what it desired.
This was the premise for a contract to be smoothly concluded, which also reduced the chance for the enemy to exploit loopholes. Those demons and devils had already proven that loopholes could often work both ways, benefiting both sides.
They could use these loopholes to hunt souls, but mortals could also use such loopholes to counter them.
Contracts that are fair and objective tend to be the most stable, significantly reducing the chances of loopholes.
This is the fundamental premise of managing the contract divine position.
The Voice of Grazte had no way to find loopholes nor refuse; it had to reluctantly sign the contract with Gaven to secure its future safety.
As soon as the contract was signed, the Voice of Grazte vanished without a trace.
With this scourge gone, Gaven accelerated at full speed, reaching Samoray in less than half an hour.
The turmoil there hadn’t ceased with Gaven’s departure; instead, it had entered a state of uncontrollable chaos, with demons destroying, plundering, and slaughtering everywhere.
Gaven had not only controlled the leader succubus manipulator but also eliminated her competent subordinates, the Lady Gun Cavalry, leaving no one to maintain order. Once the demons’ chaotic evil nature was ignited, it was hard to control.
This was greatly advantageous to Gaven.
Without much effort, he found the secret portal in Samoray.
The portal wasn’t an archway in the conventional sense but a spiral staircase located in the hall of the Lady Gun Cavalry headquarters, blending with the regular staircase.
Even armed with precise information, Gaven couldn’t help but wonder if there was a mistake with the intel.
The place looked like it had narrowly escaped disaster, with ruins everywhere, bloodstains not yet dried, and demon corpses scattered about.
Clearly, there had been a sizeable chaotic battle here.
This was usually Samoray’s second forbidden zone, guarded year-round by at least two Lady Gun Cavalry, second in security only to the Hall of Calculation.
Its value was also second only to the Hall of Calculation, storing most of Samoray’s military supplies and personal belongings of the gun cavalry.
The gun cavalry were either on missions outside the bottomless abyss or had become Gaven’s prisoners, naturally attracting demons’ plundering and fighting.
"How did you chase me here?" Gaven exclaimed in surprise.
"Are you ever going to stop? Why do you keep coming after me?" a voice filled with indignation rang out.
Just as Gaven was about to study the staircase, unexpectedly, he came face to face with a familiar acquaintance, and both reacted a bit too dramatically.
As they instinctively pulled back, they both blurted out their innermost thoughts.
The other person was none other than Triple Shadows Taharissi, who had previously battled him multiple times.
