457 Golden Ship and Divine Weapon

...

"No one is permitted to ascend to godhood under my watch!"

Isabelle's voice was resolute.

Her eyes, seemingly filled with flames, stared directly into Matthew's, as if in that moment, she had pierced through his very soul!

Matthew's breathing stalled.

Yet his mind raced.

He understood.

The cause and effect...

The reason why Heavenly Mages dared enter the vanished historical world without fearing someone seizing the chance to become a god was that they had secretly reached an agreement with Storluk Industries!

A bitter taste lingered in Matthew's mouth.

He had been worried at first that someone's ascension to godhood might be detrimental to the Alliance.

It turned out he simply wasn't privileged enough to be informed of such matters.

Of course.

Matthew couldn't complain much, for it made sense for Isabelle to have such contingencies in place.

In a way.

At the last moment, Matthew too had forsaken the choice to become the Divine King.
