Chapter 369: Alister Promotes His Pantheon

When the grand-level earth dragon heard the Monster King's threat, he turned a deaf ear to it and played dead.
What a joke! He only wanted to reject it but he had no plans of resisting them.
Just like in the past, the grand-level earth dragon wouldn't contribute to the world and would just hide in his cave until everything died down.
The grand-level earth dragon had planned to let the grand-level powerhouses go against Alister by rallying them against Alister using his words.
However, which one of the grand-level powerhouses was dumb?
Even if they were, they weren't as dumb as the grand-level earth dragon made them to be. To reach the grand-level or demigod-level, those grand-level powerhouses had encountered a lot of battles and they wouldn't have survived this long if they were that dumb.
The only exception was those grand-level powerhouses who became demigods by virtue of their bloodline as well as resources. But even then, those grand-level powerhouses were quite rare and none of them were dumb enough to fall for the grand-level earth dragon's words. Anyway, if they were to be deceived, it was from someone of high status and reputation like Alister. As for a nobody like the grand-level earth dragon, none of them sided with him.
After the grand-level earth dragon went silent, Alister no longer cared about an earthworm like him and continued on his propaganda, "Who is interested in joining my pantheon? Only those who joined my pantheon can ascend to the god realm."
"Furthermore, it's not as bad as you think. I won't enslave you nor take away your freedom. Just think of it the pantheon as an organization where we all huddle up together and share warmth in the cold expanse of the universe."
"As you all know, becoming gods requires beliefs from the believers which in turn, will become faith energy. And then, the faith energy will be converted into divine energy which is like mana for us but more valuable."
Alister forwarded his hand and several strands of divine energy appeared on top of his right hand, swirling in a sphere form.
"This is divine energy and as you can see, I can turn it into strands. I can even give the strands to other gods or even mortals. If I'm not mistaken, the currency of the god realm must be
divine energy which highlights how important it is to gods."
"Furthermore, a god can give a strand of divine energy to a demigod or any mortal and they'll be able to become stronger. A demigod with divine energy can easily defeat a demigod without any divine energy."
"So to obtain divine energy, we need to have believers since they are our faith generators. That's why Fantasia wanted to dominate this world and even named this world as Fantasia."
"However, I, as the god of this world, will now rename this world into the Magic Fantasy World. This world will no longer be called Fantasia since that bitch has already been defeated by me countless times in several timelines before I reset this universe."
Alister paused for a while to let the grand-level powerhouses digest the information he explained to them.
Afterward, Alister continued, "Since gods needed believers, then the God Realm alone is not enough to obtain the number of believers that a god needed. The God Realm is mostly just the base of the gods and it's where gods gather."
"Although there are mortals in the God Realm that can be converted into believers, it's mostly those mortals in the miniature worlds within the God Realm. However, most gods in the god realm won't care much about the miniature worlds in the God Realm since they aren't their source of faith."
"Most gods like Fantasia would create thousands of avatars and send them to other worlds such as the Magic Fantasy World in order to make the mortals there into her faith generators."
"The difference is that those miniature worlds in the God Realm are at risk of being discovered by other gods and then their believers would be attacked by those gods. On the other hand, the believers in the other world aren't that much at risk since the universe is vast and the chances of other gods finding it are lower than those miniature worlds in the God Realm."
Hearing Alister's explanation, the Dragon King voiced out his question, "So from what I can understand, you want to start a pantheon so that we grand-level powerhouses from the Magic Fantasy World can team up with each other against those foreign gods?"
Alister nodded, "Yes, but that's not all. As I mentioned before, I need 50% of the faith energy that you all obtained from your believers to be offered to me. Just think of it as a protection fee since if any of the gods in my pantheon who are attacked by foreign gods will be dealt with by me."
"If any foreign gods attack us, all of us in the pantheon will band together to eliminate them. If the pantheon behind those foreign gods intervenes, then so be it. We'll start a divine war and you don't have to worry since I can use my regression to go back in time if we ever fail." "And as you all noticed, my foundation is so stable that even when I'm just a newly promoted god right now, I can already defeat gods who have higher power levels than me. However, due to that, I need more faith energy than gods of the same power level required to break
through."
"So as long as you offer 50% of your faith energy to me, then I can become stronger a lot faster. And with my regression, I can guarantee that even if we are defeated, we will return back stronger since my power will be retained in my regressions and won't regress back to my past self's power."
Pausing for a while, Alister continued, "And haven't you all forgotten? Us heroes are granted hero authorities by the gods or goddesses who summoned us to this world. As I mentioned before, I am the apostle of Lilyana Rue Fae, the Goddess of Law and Balance."
"She is stronger than Fantasia and as long as you join my pantheon, it's tantamount to having a powerful goddess as your backer!"
