World Leader and their Successors Forum Thread

[1] – {It begins.}

[2] – {The next battle to determine the power balance of the universe.}

[3] – {He needs to win this. I have everything riding on the Winter Wolf taking over our universe.}

[4] – {I guess we’ve all shifted over to supporting him at this point.}

[5] – {He has too much control over everything as is with those lunar winter beasts of his. There’s no way any of us could face him.}

[6] – {The Solar Empress is right. The Winter Wolf has far too much power and influence for us mortals to oppose at this point. And while I may dislike the idea of living in a universe run by an ice related Progenitor, anything is better than being under the Reaper’s rule.}

[7] – {The Winter Wolf is largely disinterested in the affairs of others. I doubt he’ll bother us or interfere with our nations.}

[8] – {It’s not like we get a say in how it goes. At this rate the only thing we can do is place our bets on The Winter Wolf’s victory in every Centurion Boss fight and hope he wins every single one.}

[9] – {We need someone to replace Grim. There’s no questioning that.}

[10] – {It’s an absolute.}

[11] – {It’s too bad we can’t Sponsor The Winter Wolf. Since all the Sponsorship slots are being taken by other Progenitors now.}

[12] – {The Progenitors are all focused entirely on their own war and on The Winter Wolf’s Beta Dungeon Run at this rate. They don’t care about us mortals.}

[13] – {There’s no way they would even notice us. Not unless they’re as petty as Grim.}

[14] – {Isn’t Wolf going to be taking over control of the System if he clears the Beta Dungeon? I’ve heard that’s the case.}

[15] – {That’s just a rumor.}

[16] – {No one can take over the System. Not when it’s already kicked a different Progenitor out of control.}

[17] – {I’m placing my bets on the Winter Wolf all the way. My nation has already fully converted into lunar winter beasts at this point so I don’t have a choice.}

[18] – {That’s right. I almost forgot about your church.}

[19] – {The Lunar Church? I still find it hard to believe Wolf’s got an actual religion now.}

[20] – {Well when a nation is made entirely of creatures formed from his venom, creatures that are under his absolute control should he wish it, it makes sense to form a religion.}

[21] – {He is our god.}

[22] – {The Winter Wolf, the Frozen God of the Blue Moon and God of Lunar Winter Beasts.}

[23] – {The God of Winter.}

[24] – {Is it really true that all the planets under the Church’s control have blue moons shining down on them now?}

[25] – {As strange as it is, it’s true. I’ve seen it in my reports.}

[26] – {Pope of the Lunar Church, are you present?}

[27] – {Yes. What is it you want, Ancient Lord of the Vampires?}

[28] – {Is it true that the Lunar Church is planning on expanding its influence?}

[29] – {Yes.}

[30] – {I’m willing to allow the Lunar Church to set up churches on the planets under the Clans’ control. Are you willing to negotiate with my people?}

[31] – {We are. Unlike the Holy Empire, the Lunar Church does not discriminate against any people. No matter their species are state of life.}

[32] – {Very well. My secretary will be contacting yours soon.}

[33] – {If it’s not unpleasant, so will mine. I wish to construct Lunar Churches in the Land of the Gods.}

[34] – {Anyone who wishes to spread the word of the Winter God may send word. We are open to offers from all.}

[35] – {It looks like the Winter Wolf will be expanding his influence even more thanks to this…}

[36] – {Come to think of it, does anyone know what happened to the Ruler?}

[37] – {Wasn’t he supposed to have been made a boss in the Beta Dungeon? Or was he put in the Administrator Dungeon?}

[38] – {What happens now that Progenitors clones have taken the place of Centurion Bosses?}

[39] – {That’s uncertain.}

[40] – {It’s possible the System may just make the Ruler a subordinate of one of the Centurion Bosses.}

[41] – {I can see that happening.}

[42] – {Most likely he’ll just be put into the dungeon whenever Wolf reaches his level. Maybe even as an Event Boss.}

[43] – {It’s deserved. The Ruler has had this coming for thousands of years now.}

[44] – {Are the people of the Abyss still being stomped on by their enemies without the Ruler leading them?}

[45] – {My information network tells me that the crusade against the Abyss has slowed down. But they’re not in good shape regardless.}

[46] – {I don’t care about them. I just want to see this battle begin.}

[47] – {Another battle of Progenitors.}

[48] – {This is the one of the most important reasons I watch the broadcast still. Even after the last Administrator Dungeon Run’s ending.}

[49] – {What are you all doing about the other bet ongoing right now?}

[50] – {The one about what gender and form Loki’s true form is? I’m betting on Loki being a little fairy.}

[51] – {Well, Loki is a prankster. I can see that.}

[52] – {I’m betting on the lowest odds in the gambling pool. You all realize the betting pool was most likely made by Loki after all, so the lowest odds are probably true.}

[53] – {What are the lowest odds?}

[54] – {That Loki is really a woman and she’s been playing one huge prank on all the people who have confessed to them over the millions of years they’ve been alive.}

[55] – {That’s… actually, that doesn’t sound too shocking.}

[56] – {I know. The odds on it have been rapidly rising ever since people started talking about it on the forums.}

[57] – {Loki’s just a bundle of chaos.}

[58] – {Now it’s time to watch that bundle of chaos face the Winter Wolf head on.}
