Tatsuma asked, "So what's the goal now?"
"To inquire about your views on this world. If you want to dominate the world, then I'll follow you."
"You really know when to yield and when to stand firm."
"What else can I do? I have no other way." Indra sighed.
He couldn't really be stubborn to the end, could he?
When the gap between the two was not large, he might have tried to catch up. But after the battle just now, he had clearly realized how big the gap between them was.
Facing a monster like Tatsuma, even if all the Gods of Mount Meru were dispatched, the chances of winning would still be slim.
Since he couldn't defeat him, he might as well join him. This was the solution that Indra came up with temporarily after experiencing an unexpectedly crushing defeat.
"I've been keeping an eye on the organizations under your command. Although it's not very obvious, Akatsuki and MAR have been expanding in scale."
"Especially Akatsuki, which has absorbed and merged many supernatural forces, and has countless experts within."
"With these two forces at your disposal, plus your unreasonable power, you are already qualified to rule the world."
"If you have such an idea, then I can lead the Gods of Mount Meru to join your forces and lend you a hand."
Tatsuma said, "Then join the Divine System Alliance."
A faint magical aura rose, and a piece of parchment appeared out of thin air in Tatsuma's hand.
Indra asked with some confusion, "Divine System Alliance? What is that?"
Tatsuma replied, "Uniting the various pantheons of the world to form an alliance and jointly maintain the order of the world, this is the so-called Divine System Alliance."
Indra finally understood. "You don't plan to rule the world, but rather want to deter the Gods with military force and form this so-called Divine System Alliance?"
Tatsuma nodded slightly. "That's enough. If we were to wage all-out war, it would affect the ordinary people in the Human World."
Indra: "..."
After Tatsuma's unexpected strength, Indra once again felt shocked and confused.
Tatsuma, who had caused chaos in various parts of the world, and even brazenly intruded into the Realm of the Dead to insult Hades, actually advocated peace.
This is simply unbelievable.
Is your method of maintaining peace a bit too extreme?
As if sensing Hades' thoughts, Tatsuma let out a light chuckle.
"My advocating for peace and my liking for fighting are two different things, and these two do not conflict."
"No, these two conflict greatly."
Indra retorted forcefully, then lowered his head to look at the parchment.
There wasn't much content on the parchment. Its main purpose was to indicate one's joining the Divine System Alliance.
As for what needed to be done to join the Divine System Alliance and what benefits would be gained, that would have to be discussed later with Sirzechs and the others in the Underworld.
"You really don't care about anything."
"Not caring about things is a good thing for you, right?"
"I don't deny that."
Indra signed his name on the parchment.
The contract took effect, and the parchment split into two, flying into the hands of Tatsuma and Indra respectively.
"Who are you planning to bring into the alliance next?"
Tatsuma said, "Negotiation time has already been arranged with the Norse Pantheon, we can meet and discuss next month."
"As for Greece, Zeus has sent someone to send me a challenge because of Hades, and we'll fight later."
"Then there shouldn't be any problems with Norse and Olympus." A thoughtful look appeared on Indra's face.
As fellow God Kings, his relationship with Odin and Zeus was neither good nor bad. However, based on past interactions, these two God Kings were both pacifists. After Tatsuma and Zeus finish fighting, the Greek Gods will likely join the alliance together.
"What are your plans for the remaining Gods?"
"Visit them, fight, and then invite them."
Indra asked, "In other words, there isn't a complete plan yet, and you're preparing to push through purely with military force?"
Tatsuma nodded slightly. "If you have any good ideas, you can tell me. If they're useful, we can go with yours."
Indra said, "It's not a great idea, but you can start with the Hindu Gods."
Tatsuma inquired, "The reason?"
Indra explained, "Those three guys in India, each of them has power ranking in the top ten in the world."
"Especially Shiva, who rose to become the second strongest in the world after the God of the Bible fell, ranked only below the Infinite Dragon God."
"If you can defeat him and the other two guys head-on and bring the Hindu Gods into the alliance, the remaining smaller pantheons will automatically align themselves, saving a lot of trouble."
"That sounds quite reasonable." Tatsuma rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.
"But that's not the whole reason, is it? Do you have some personal grudges in there as well."
"You could say there's a little." Indra nodded in admission, not hiding anything.
He hadn't lied to Tatsuma.
Attacking the Hindu Gods first could indeed deter the smaller pantheons and make them join the Divine System Alliance.
But in reality, the targets that could achieve a similar effect were not limited to just the Hindu Gods.
The main reason for suggesting the Hindu Gods was his poor relationship with those three guys.
Especially Shiva, who is ranked second in the world, he had always wanted to defeat him and take his place.
His initial invitation for Tatsuma to visit was to win him over and add him to his subordinates to enhance his own strength in preparation for defeating Shiva.
But plans couldn't keep up with changes. Tatsuma's strength forced him to abandon his original plan and even join the other side to work.
However, Tatsuma's idea of forming the Divine System Alliance gave him a plan to teach Shiva a lesson.
Although it was a bit regrettable that he couldn't do it himself, the thought of Shiva being slapped to the ground by Tatsuma and experiencing the same feeling he had not long ago made him eager to try.
Sensing Indra's true thoughts, Tatsuma thought for a moment and suggested, "If you want to do it yourself, I can help you out."
Indra was stunned. "How can you help?"
"Like this."
Tatsuma picked a blue trait and sent it over.
A vast divine power surged from Indra's body, flowing into his limbs and bones.
Noticing the changes in his body, Indra's eyes widened abruptly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"This is... Potential Development?!"
Tatsuma nodded slightly. "Something like that, you can understand it that way."
Indra said, "I had heard similar rumors, but I didn't expect your move to be effective even on me."
Feeling the newly increased power within his body, Indra gained a further understanding of Tatsuma's strength.
"With this power, I am indeed confident in defeating Shiva in a head-on battle."
"Don't rush, it's not over yet."
"It can still improve?"
"Yes, but this is temporary."
Tatsuma used the trait sharing function.
After raising Energy Fusion to the Rainbow level, the number of his Rainbow traits reached 15.
Excluding the five slots given to the Zero Division, he still had ten slots left to use. Temporarily lending one to Indra was not a problem.
[You have shared the Rainbow trait: Senjutsu with Indra.]
"What I need is not just defeating Shiva, but a crushing victory, like how I defeated you."
"How about it? Can you do it?"
"..."
Feeling the newly appeared power within him, a power so vast it could be called terrifying, after a few seconds of silence, Indra suddenly burst into laughter.
"No problem! This is absolutely no problem!"
"Tatsuma, leave Shiva to me. I guarantee I'll take the Hindu Gods down for you."
