Hyper-Dimensional Player-Chapter 491 - 79: Stealing the Prize and Rewriting the Script! (Part 3)
Duncan looked puzzled and calmly asked, "Why did you abandon tradition before?"
"Things might not be that simple."
Storm Eira hesitated, seemingly unwilling to elaborate, and after pondering for a moment, said, "We lost the favor of the gods. The festival of reproduction no longer receives the blessing of the Divine Spirits."
"Offerings also receive no response."
Duncan’s gaze fell on the crescent mark on the other’s shield.
No response from the Divine Spirits?
Still managed to endure for this long?
The strength of these Amazonian Warriors is indeed remarkable.
He seemed to be pondering something, and slowly said, "Do you now worship the Divine-like Power of the Storm Isles?"
Divine-like Power?
Storm Eira looked confused.
Duncan explained, "Native gods."
At this, she immediately understood and nodded, "The tribe now indeed worships the native Divine Spirit born from the Storm Isles."
As for the honorable name, she dared not mention it, nor would Duncan inquire.
After all, it is their territory.
Duncan had already thought of many things and calmly said, "What can you gain by rescuing Hegel?"
Storm Eira replied solemnly, "Restoration of glory and tradition."
"I will find a way to overthrow Queen Oreitia’s rule. Hegel said you would help me."
At this, she paused for a moment, sizing up Duncan in front of her, her expression slightly fluctuating, and softly said, "Hegel said, you are the smartest among them."
"If you and I combine, the offspring will possess both power and wisdom."
"It would bring the Amazon tribe back to glory."
These barbarians are still trying to find a woman for him.
It surprised Duncan most that Hegel would even think like this.
It seems he was terribly tortured by the Amazonian Warriors.
Duncan neither accepted nor refused, instead he asked, "Even if you overthrow the queen’s rule, what would change?"
"The Amazon tribe converts to worship native gods."
"Everything you are doing is merely a temporary solution."
Storm Eira appeared surprised and whispered, "We plan to convert to the faith of the Furious Gods."
So that’s the intention.
Upon hearing this, Duncan’s expression changed; he suddenly felt the urge to seize this opportunity. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Athena? Minerva? Suliss?
Where are you?
Do the Amazonian Warriors want to belong? Originally, followers of War God Ares and Hunting Goddess Artemis? Do you want them!
Duncan finally stood up and said, "First, we need to find a way to rescue Hegel."
"The other matters can be addressed later."
Without finding Athena’s appearance, this opportunity cannot be seized. They will most likely still convert to the Furious Gods.
The Power of Storm.
It is considered one of the Core Domains of the Furious Gods.
According to the Furious Gods’ plot, the woman before him, Storm Eira, the perfect Amazonian Warrior, an adherent to tradition and glory, is most likely meant for Hegel. But along the way, Duncan has changed many things, even causing Hegel to think of finding a woman for Duncan, hence some deviations have occurred.
If it weren’t for Duncan, perhaps Hegel would join forces with her to overthrow the queen’s tyranny and return the Amazon tribe to the right path, while converting to the faith of the Furious Gods.
But Hegel has already been treated as a breeding tool.
Regardless of whether offspring arise this time, his descendants are likely to appear. If a new queen ascends, and the Amazon tribe converts to the Furious Gods, the entire script completes a logical loop.
But right now, it is developing into a dual-protagonist scenario, after Hegel was trapped, the first person he thought of was Duncan.
He didn’t believe Duncan would leave him behind.
Duncan didn’t abandon him either.
Therefore, the key now is what Duncan will gain from this legendary event.
Even if he only gains a bit of Legendary Level, rescuing Hegel, overthrowing the queen together, helping the Amazon tribe convert, can be considered a completion of an incident.
But Duncan wants more!
He suspects that the Divine-like Power here is also on the Furious Gods’ hunting list.
Duncan wants to seize a big opportunity!
On the secular level of struggle, it involves Hegel, Duncan, Storm Eira, Queen Oreitia, and others. They are the protagonists of this story, legendary heroes.
But beyond the secular world, behind this mythical script is the decline of a native Divine Spirit of the Storm Isles.
It is highly likely that this Divine-like Power will be divided and devoured!
Duncan wants to bite off a piece.
The flesh of gods.
To do this, the script cannot simply end; he must have time to find Athena’s appearance. Without Athena’s assistance, given the current favor from the Furious Gods, he will mostly likely gain nothing substantial, perhaps only a sip of soup.
Both he and Hegel are the top fighters of the Furious Gods; if they overthrow the secular queen, the next step will be the Furious Gods’ action against the native Divine Spirit.
No one anticipated Duncan’s foresight.
Storm Eira, gazing at Duncan in contemplation, assumed he was thinking of a way to rescue Hegel, and couldn’t help but softly say, "I know where he is being held."
"With your cooperation, we could seize an opportunity to rescue him."
Inside and outside cooperation, rescue, and counterattack.
Given the Furious Gods’ mindset, Duncan doesn’t expect the script to be too complicated, because if it’s too complex, even the barbarians’ minds would struggle to keep up.
With Hegel’s intellect, intricate plans are beyond his playbook.
"Then what?"
Duncan queried, "Escape with you all together?"
He and Hegel join forces.
There is indeed a chance for Heavenly God Descending, to directly overthrow the entire Amazon tribe.
But that would leave no opportunity to change the script.
Duncan slowly said, "Hegel won’t be in trouble for now, right?"
Storm Eira nodded, "Yes."
"Queen Oreitia desires a child with Divine Son lineage, so he won’t be harmed for now."
"At least until the queen becomes pregnant."
Hegel serves excellently as a breeding tool, but Queen Oreitia’s plans go further; she longs for a lineage of Divine Son offspring, so before completely exhausting Hegel, she would rather treat him well.
Good food and drinks, serving everyone together at night.
Duncan pondered for a moment, slowly said, "We need a more detailed plan, gather other supports, and find a way to solve this problem once and for all."
He needs to pick up the pen and rewrite the Furious Gods’ script.
Now it’s too simple and crude.
If it truly forcefully progresses, it is unknown how many accompanying barbarians will die.
Hegel has likely been played with until he’s exhausted.
His strength reduced to a tenth.
If discovered accidentally, Duncan, even if accompanied by Storm Eira, will find it difficult to escape; Crete and others will likely perish there.
Die battling, then Hegel explodes with rage, revenge, seems like an action the Furious Gods would undertake.
Crete and others, Duncan intends to protect them.
At least, if they die in the future, not so haphazardly.
He still wants to lead this group of barbarians to slay the gods!
