Against Heaven's Will Chapter 180 Pacifist

Hearing no reply, Xuefeng asked again.

"Is this your million-years-old black stone that you put so much faith in? I honestly didn't even use too much strength and it already broke. Do you imagine multiple Celestial Beast having an all-out battle in this place? All your people would be buried alive."

Although the cavern was quite tall, able to fit tens of Giants inside, if they really battled, it would be too chaotic to handle. Being a pacifist, in this case, was the best solution, solving the problem without much effort.

Locking his eyes with Pearl, the black Dragon still locked in the cage, Xuefeng didn't stop pus.h.i.+ng.

"You really should have made a deal with my wife earlier today and released Pearl together with Drakos. This way you wouldn't have to risk the lives of your people and throw them in the battle for certain death," Xuefeng suggested. "You don't really expect any of them to survive, do you? How can you call yourself a King if you sacrifice the lives of your people for your own selfish desires?"

Some of the Dwarfs frowned, gazing back at their King in confusion. Dwarfs weren't some brainless creatures. They rivaled humans in intelligence so even though they respected their King, there were limits when it comes to one's life.

Who wanted to die for nothing?

Xuefeng words just made sense. They were clearly fighting someone whose power exceeded their own by tens of times. King of Dwarfs seemed to realize Xuefeng's words were swaying his own people and finally acted on offense.

"Shut up!" King of Dwarfs cursed as he whipped with his mallet, smacking the cage with Pearl. "Don't listen to him! He is trying to mess with your mind and turn you against your race! Look how just a few words of his convinced you to drop your weapons. They are invaders! We don't negotiate with people like them! We smash their skulls and burn them to warm our homes!"

"Who are we?!" King of Dwarfs called out right after, causing his people to react instantly by raising their hammers in the air.

"We are Dwarfs! AWU! AWU! AWU!"

Their combined chant and feet stomps were enough to cause the ground to shake. Xuefeng and the rest could even feel the vibrations in the air but this only made him grin.

"Do you think we can't see through your tricks?" King of Dwarfs asked when the chants stopped. "There is no way we will fall for it! We have the advantage! We have the hostage! Now surrender or she will die!"

As he announced, two Dwarfs came up to the cage with their sword tips aimed at Pearl's head. She roared at them but her neck was pinned to the ground with chains.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Xuefeng began clapping, his smile never leaving his face.

"That was a really nice speech. No wonder you managed to convince them to make you their King. Your manipulation skills are quite high, but there is one problem you have here," Xuefeng muttered as he gazed at Pearl. "Once she is dead, what do you have left that prevents us from killing everyone?"

Xuefeng lifted his sleeve and displayed his Elemental Bracelet to everyone. Three Elemental Stones shone brightly in the poorly illuminated cavern.

Swoos.h.!.+

His Air Qi, Water Qi, and Fire Qi burst out from his body, filling the room completely. He could cast his Arts from everywhere with just a thought. If that wasn't the ultimate control then what was?

King of Dwarfs seemed to notice the concern that Dwarfs showed, quickly recognizing the Elemental Bracelet. Being the Master Craftsmen, Xuefeng figured they would know a thing or two about Artefacts.

"And here I wondered what gives you the confidence to speak to me like this," King of Dwarfs commented with a snicker. "But so what? Do you think that is enough to beat us? Just three stones and not even in the Immortal Stage. Your Qi will end before the fight will even start!"

"Nah, I don't think I even need to fight you. Didn't we already establish that your game is stupid? Just for the desire of fulfilling your revenge, you risk the lives of your people. I'm sure they are already fed up with your imaginary enemies and just want to live in peace while mining, improving their craftsmans.h.i.+p and wealth," Xuefeng pointed out, turning to the Dwarfs.

"Do you really want to play your King's game? This won't bring wealth to the Dwarf Kingdom. It will only cause you to gather more enemies who will visit you and destroy your home, kill your wives and kids. Is this what you all what? Do you really want to go on a war against the whole world? Hundred of thousands or even millions of you will die for nothing."

His words caused Dwarfs to waiver, slowly lowering their weapons but King of Dwarfs quickly called out from behind them.

"He is trying to mess with your brains! Raise your s.h.i.+elds and prepare to fight! We have endless reinforcements! They won't leave this place alive!"

"Yes, endless reinforcements once you die," Xuefeng added. "His words just confirmed what I just said. He doesn't care if any of you die as long as he can fulfill his goals. Is that the King you want? I'm sure he will accept your wives as his own once you die or just donate them to your friends. After all, someone needs to take care of them afterward."

The Dwarfs darkened, gazing at their King suspiciously. That alone gave Xuefeng a nice theory to use.

"Bulls.h.i.+t! Don't listen to his nonsense!" King of Dwarfs cried out angrily.

"Oh, I'm sorry. My bad," Xuefeng apologized. "He will also take your daughters as well. I'm sure he already has hundreds of wives but he would never reject having more, especially so young and tender. After all, while you are busy mining all day outside the Kingdom, he is enjoying f.u.c.king multiple of your women at once in his palace."

Just as Xuefeng predicted, he struck a sensitive spot for every man. No matter the Race, he was bound to cause some disagreements.
