Salute To The General
Chapter 3534 Sufficient Respect

So that's how it is.

The top space scientists of the Earth Alliance space squad had recently detected what appeared to be an alien spaceship approaching Earth on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, the alien spaceship's cloaking ability was too powerful.

Every time at crucial moments, the scientists would lose their trail.

But in their report, the space squad issued a red alert, expressing deep suspicion that those lost spaceships may have already landed somewhere on Earth.

They even suspected that quite a few Gods had already descended to earth quietly.

The earth was currently in a very dangerous situation.

After reading the report, Eugene IV had a complex expression on his face. Slowly, he placed the report back on the desk.

Nathan was smoking at the moment. He asked with a smile, "Have you finished reading? What do you think?"

Eugene IV hesitated before saying, "Could it be possible that the scientists got it wrong? What they detected might not be spaceships at all. After all, they themselves said it's only a suspicion! And they speculate that quite a few Gods have quietly descended to earth. Could it be that they're overthinking it? Even if the Gods were to descend upon earth, it doesn't necessarily mean they would pose a significant threat..."

Eugene IV instinctively wanted to defend the Gods.

But as he kept talking, he started to doubt his own words' credibility.

And as he was speaking, he suddenly noticed that Nathan was looking at him with a gaze that seemed both amused and not.

The playful smirk at the corner of Nathan's mouth and the teasing glint in his eyes made him deeply suspicious. Did Nathan know something he didn't? Had he come to understand the delicate relationship between the Curia and the Gods?

Even if Nathan only has suspicions, the more I defend the Gods, the less likely Nathan is to believe me, right?

So, in the end, he found himself somewhat at a loss for words.

Nathan noticed that even Eugene IV himself was at a loss for words.

He said calmly, "The Gods are full of wolfish intents. Their threat and danger are not to be taken lightly by anyone. We must always be on guard." Eugene IV awkwardly said, "Yes!"

Nathan said, "At present, our top priority is to guard against the Gods. I hope that you could do me a favor and temporarily postpone the conflict with the vampires."

Eugene IV became anxious. "But the vampires are already spreading carnage everywhere, killing many people. The vampires are expanding. If we don't intervene, won't the vampires become too powerful?"

Nathan said in a deep voice, "I have

a way to quell the vampires, to make

them less active and stop them from harming humans. If that's the case, would the Curia be willing to

postpone the war with the vampire?"

Eugene IV initially wanted to refuse.

But upon further thought, he realized that Alden and Cassandra, two powerful Gods, were already preparing to lead a thousand God Warriors to ambush Nathan halfway.

As Nathan stepped out of the Curia, Eugene IV knew the latter would be ambushed from all sides, trapped in a deadly siege.

Nathan would be trapped. An escape was impossible. Death was inevitable.

If that was the case, what was the harm in verbally agreeing with Nathan for now?

With that thought, Eugene IV nodded, feigning agreement, and said with a chuckle, "Well, we can afford to offend anyone, but we simply cannot afford to offend you, Mr. Cross."

"If Mr. Cross has a way to pacify the vampires, then we can temporarily ignore them and focus on dealing with the issues of the Gods. It's not entirely impossible." Nathan never expected that Eugene IV would agree so readily. He was even surprised himself.

However, Hepburn had already agreed to restrain the vampires, promising no more chaos.

If Eugene IV had also restrained the Curia warriors, then the war between humans and the vampires could indeed have been temporarily avoided.

Nathan said with a smile, "In that case, I truly appreciate your help, Pope Eugene. Then, I will personally visit the vampires, forcing them to agree to retreat. In the meantime, I hope that you can control your people to create a conducive environment for the negotiations."

Eugene IV nodded. "All right, Mr. Cross. Please be careful on your journey."

Nathan said, "Great!"

After a while, Nathan and Eugene IV had another chat, and they reached an agreement. Nathan then left with Colin.

ет

Little did they know that no sooner than Nathan and Colin had just left the Vatican, Alden and Cassandra were already swiftly gathering their thousand elite God Warriors hidden within the Curia, preparing to ambush Nathan en route.

Two unparalleled elites from the Gods led a thousand God Warriors, all to slay Nathan.

For the Gods, this was an unprecedented action.

In the history of the Gods, never before had there been such a grand spectacle for any beheading operation.

It could be said that the Gods had given Nathan ample respect.
