Zhao Hai was taken aback. The reason he had sent Fei'er and the others to attack today was to show the Otherworldly Deities that he was genuinely cooperating with them and had not deceived them.
Demonstrating his strength would allow potential allies to understand his capabilities, and thus, Zhao Hai wanted to showcase his power to these Otherworldly Deities. However, he hadn't anticipated their reaction would come so quickly.
Zhao Hai turned to the Thunder Clan member and said, "Please!" The Thunder Clan member bowed slightly and then turned to leave. Zhao Hai turned to Fei'er and the others, smiling slightly, "It seems those arrogant guys have witnessed our strength, hahahaha. Should we also show a bit of arrogance?"
When Fei'er and the others heard Zhao Hai's words, they were momentarily stunned, but then they all started to laugh. Just then, the Thunder Clan member led three Otherworldly Deities to the side of the Darkness King. Zhao Hai noticed that they were indeed the three leading Otherworldly Deities.
Zhao Hai gave a slight bow to the three and smiled, "Hello, esteemed guests. Please come aboard and have a drink with us."
The three paused for a moment, then exchanged glances before leaping onto the Darkness King. Zhao Hai waved his hand, and tables, chairs, and food and drinks were all set up.
Zhao Hai gestured lightly, saying, "Please!"
The three looked at each other, momentarily unsure of what to say. They glanced around and noticed Fei'er and the others, and they also saw the Great Demon Lord and the Dragon King, but they didn't see anyone from the three major Otherworldly Clans whom they were hoping to meet.
A hint of suspicion appeared on their faces. Zhao Hai glanced at them and smiled slightly, "You're wondering where the Beast King and the others are, right? To be honest, they're not here. In fact, before we counterattack the Divine Race, they do not need to participate in any battles. Although I have used potions to elevate the people from their three clans to level nine, their combat power is still a bit lacking compared to the Divine Race, so I didn't let them join."
Raedna looked at Zhao Hai and asked, "So you mean they're not on the God Realm Continent at all?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and replied, "Of course not. The last time, I just wanted them to meet you. After all, you belong to the same race, and previously, the people from your God Realm specifically sent them three divine artifacts to deal with that Divine Race from the lower realms. They took them along that day to show you, but unfortunately, you didn't give them the chance."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Raedna and the others felt a bit embarrassed. Zhao Hai looked at the three, smiled, and said, "No need to mind that. I was just joking. Please sit down. I wonder what brings you here today?"
The three exchanged glances before realizing they were unsure how to respond. Xiao Bingya spoke solemnly, "Today, we followed you, sir, and witnessed your battle with the Divine Race. To be honest, the outcome of the battle was beyond our expectations. I truly didn't think your strength was so formidable."
Zhao Hai was taken aback by Xiao Bingya's words. He had thought that someone as proud as Xiao Bingya would not easily yield, yet here he was, starting off with such remarks—it was indeed unexpected.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Actually, it was also luck. All of you grew up in the God Realm and have had plenty of contact with the Divine Race. I believe you are familiar with their supreme deity, right? This ship originally did not belong to me. The last time, they summoned that supreme deity to deal with me, but I defeated him, and this ship is a trophy."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's explanation, Xiao Bingya and the others were momentarily stunned, and then their faces changed dramatically. They had spent their lives fighting against the Divine Race, and they certainly knew what a supreme deity was; they just hadn't expected Zhao Hai to be able to defeat one.
The Great Demon Lord looked at their expressions and smiled slightly, "It wasn't just once; in fact, sir, you defeated that supreme deity twice. The first time was on the Ark Continent, where the Divine Race summoned him to deal with you, and in the end, you seized a small tower from them. The second time was with this ship, but back then, this ship wasn't as magnificent as it is now."
