My Summons Are All Gods - Chapter 422
Chapter 422: Sowing Discord
“Then, Bulanda, cast your vote.”
“What?”
Brenda did not understand Apollo’s words, but then, someone came over and handed Bulanda two cards.
One of the cards was red, and the other was black.
Bulanda saw the pile of cards in front of Apollo and instantly understood what this thing was used for.
It was obvious that they had just held a vote here to decide his life and death.
“Red is your death, black is your life. You are also a member of the Sky Dynasty, so cast your vote.”
Simmons crossed his hands at the side, explaining the rules.
“Is that so…”
Bulanda held the cards with one hand and began to think.
First of all, he was already prepared to die. This was his unwavering stance.
However, the others had their own views on his life and death.
But this kind of thing was up to them to vote for themselves. There was no need to think about him at all.
And now, they suddenly unnecessarily asked him to vote for himself.
Obviously, it was because there was a situation where the number of votes was the same.
That was why he was asked to vote.
Bulanda glanced at Apollo in front of him. The person who had suggested for him to vote was Apollo.
If Bulanda remembered correctly, Apollo’s position was not to kill him.
That was why he had asked him to vote. This meant that there was a situation where the number of votes was the same.
Bulanda did not hesitate and threw the red card in.
But at that moment, Bulanda realized the mistake he had made.
He was supposed to act as a person who wanted to run away because he was afraid of death, not a person who would rather die.
This action instantly triggered the noise among the people in the tent. Some pointed at Bulanda and shouted, “What are you pretending?” Others began to think about Bulanda’s actual opinion.
The cursing became more and more intense. Some people even picked up their weapons and were ready to kill Bulanda by force. Silver swords suddenly flashed in the tent.
“Really, I really don’t understand what you mean.”
Apollo covered his face with his hand. What happened today was beyond his ability. It would have been fine if it was just facing the attack of monsters. Fighting had always been the strength of the Sky Dynasty, but now there was such mutual suspicion, the team was on the verge of falling apart.
All of this started when His Majesty ascended alone. Ever since His Majesty had been away from everyone for a long time, the team was on the verge of collapse.
Moreover, this collapse did not mean that they were weak, but that they were at odds with each other in terms of ideology. This was something that Apollo could not accept.
However, this was not His Majesty’s fault. His Majesty’s ascension alone was something that even His Majesty himself did not expect.
“Ever since that so-called administrator said those words to everyone, the atmosphere in the team has become such. Your Majesty, I have let you down…”
Apollo was on the verge of tears. He could not think of anyone who could suppress this situation…
“Wait!”
Apollo suddenly remembered something. He quickly stood up and stood on the table.
“Have you ever thought of a question? Why did the administrator tell us the situation?”
Everyone quieted down and looked up at Apollo in unison.
Apollo continued, “Think about it. When His Majesty went to the fourth floor of the Endless Tower alone, even His Majesty himself did not understand why.”
“Not to mention us. We don’t know why only His Majesty can go, but we have to stay here.”
“It wasn’t until the administrator talked to us that we understood that the problem was with Bulanda. As the other monarch of other Holy Dynasty, we were judged to be a team with Bulanda!”
“But, why did the administrator tell us the situation?”
“Everyone, do you understand what I mean?”
Everyone was a little surprised by what he said because Apollo was just repeating what everyone had encountered today.
However, Apollo’s final question made everyone start thinking about it.
Indeed, the mysterious administrator would not casually pass down orders to the trial-takers.
It was just like the invigilators would not communicate with the students.
However, why did the administrator personally come down and explain to everyone that the reason why they could not ascend was because everyone brought Bulanda along.
“There is only one possibility!”
Apollo licked his lips. He felt that he was already close to the core of the problem.
Apollo spoke out the words that everyone had been thinking about but did not dare to say for a long time.
“The administrator did this so that we would think that killing Bulanda would allow us to ascend.’
“He is deliberately leading us to kill Bulanda
“This is sowing discord!”
“The truth may be the exact opposite of what the administrator had said. Killing Bulanda will only cause us to lose a capable general and we will gain nothing out of it.”
“Besides, what kind of person that would be worthy of the administrator to personally lead others to kill him?”
“This means that Bulanda may be a key figure at this stage
“We don’t know how to ascend to the fourth level of the Endless Tower yet. Maybe Bulanda is the key! And the administrator’s words are misleading us to kill this key figure in advance.”
“Don’t forget, the administrator of the third level is definitely not friendly to the Sky Dynasty!”
Apollo revealed all his thoughts in one breath, leaving everyone in silence. They lowered their heads and carefully digested what Apollo had said.
Indeed, according to their current understanding of the administrators, although they had immense power, they could not actively interfere with the trial-takers.
If they wanted to kill people, they could not do it themselves. They could only use some insidious tricks to frame someone.
But in reality, administrators usually did not do this, because no matter how strong a person was, he was not able to threaten the administrators.
If the administrator needed to get rid of a person, it could be imagined that this person might be a very important person for some special reasons.
Apollo’s words were indeed reasonable. It was as if this was the case.
“I think Apollo is right.”
“This makes sense. Otherwise, why would the administrator care about us? He can just carry out his duties accordingly. Talking to the trial-takers may carry some risk.”
“The administrator must have a motive for taking such a risk to convey the message.”
…
Everyone spoke one after another. After His Majesty left, there was a rare unity of opinion.
