Metron, who had suffered a great setback at Kytheron's hands, did not slink away but shamelessly stayed.
"Respected Kryptonian God, if you are willing to return the mobius chair to me, I am willing to join your forces and become a God under your command."
"You must know that I am aware of many Multiverse secrets and maintain good relations with many Gods within the Domain of the Gods. Exchanging a chair for my allegiance is not a losing trade."
Although Kytheron did not care much for the mobius chair, Metron regarded it as his very heart and soul, unable to part with it.
So, even at the risk of enraging Kytheron, Metron still bit the bullet and asked Kytheron for the mobius chair again.
Without that chair, he would lose all his reliance, and his identity and status would be gone.
"Heh heh! Don't all the Multiverse secrets you know come from this thing I'm sitting on? You can become the God of Knowledge, and naturally, others under me can too."
Although Kytheron said this, he had no such intention in his heart, because using the mobius chair was not without cost.
If one did not have the ability, they would eventually become a slave to the chair; even someone with Batman's strong will almost fell prey to it.
However, upon hearing Kytheron's words, Metron's body trembled suddenly—his worst fear had come true!
Because he, the God of Knowledge, was merely a title without the existence of a divinity.
Divinity was the qualification to become a God, equivalent to mastering a part of the Multiverse's authority, and also the foundation for them to draw power.
Although he held the title of God of Knowledge, everything he knew was provided by the mobius chair; he was merely like a computer operator.
Therefore, if someone truly wanted to snatch his title of God of Knowledge, they wouldn't even need to kill him; simply taking his chair would be enough to take everything from him!
At this moment, Metron couldn't help but think that if he returned to New Gods in his current state, there would no longer be a place for him among the New Gods.
And the Heavenly Father, who displayed benevolence to the outside world, would certainly not value him in the slightest.
"Kryptonian God, how can I get the mobius chair back? I am willing to pay any price I can."
Metron asked Kytheron in an almost humble manner.
"I remember I already told you! If you want the chair back, you'll have to wait until I get tired of sitting on it."
In order to wait for the day Kytheron got tired and reclaim the chair, Metron made a decision that went against his ancestors: to submit to Kytheron.
Because he could lose everything, but he absolutely could not lose his chair.
However, Metron was not without his own plans.
Because from the brief moment he came into contact with Kytheron, he saw a difference between Kytheron and other Gods of the Multiverse.
The mere fact of being a Kryptonian God made him no less inferior to beings like Rao and the Heavenly Father, not to mention that he had incorporated the almost perfect genes of Ancient Doomsday into his own system.
These years bathed in the endless ocean of knowledge were not entirely useless; at least he could judge the potential Kytheron possessed.
Although he was now forced to swear allegiance for some special reasons, he was undoubtedly the first God to pledge loyalty to Kytheron.
This naturally implied some different meanings.
What's more, if what Kytheron said was true, when he eventually got tired of the mobius chair, wouldn't he, the original owner, be the first in line to take it back?
At that time, everything would return, and as for which faction he belonged to, that was completely not an issue.
Having made up his mind, Metron stepped forward directly, resolutely knelt on one knee before Kytheron, and loudly proclaimed:
"Respected Kryptonian God, I swear allegiance to you. I, Metron, am willing to be the sword in your hand, vowing to defend your glory until death."
This was not a simple oath from Metron, but a special ritual. Even when he joined New Gods originally, he had never performed such an oath ceremony for the Heavenly Father.
Looking at Metron's actions and hearing his words, Kytheron's face showed a strange expression.
Because after Metron finished speaking, Kytheron found that a peculiar connection had suddenly been established between him and Metron, and this connection seemed to be one-sided on Kytheron's part.
The most direct manifestation was that a new branch suddenly appeared in Kytheron's divinity, but it seemed to still be in the making.
Kytheron understood that this should be due to Metron's allegiance.
"Rise! I accept your allegiance!"
Seeing Kytheron say this, Metron's face showed a hint of joy.
He was afraid that Kytheron would not accept his allegiance, in which case he would truly have lost everything!
The usually arrogant God of Knowledge bowed his head, which stunned many Gods who had some connection with him!
Because Metron was quite famous in the Multiverse; many Gods had invited him to join them, but he had always been a lone wolf.
But later, it seemed he joined the Heavenly Father's New Gods, becoming a prime minister-like figure under the Heavenly Father, perhaps because he feared Darkseid's violent rule would affect his pursuit of knowledge.
But now, Metron swearing allegiance to Kytheron—didn't this openly slap the Heavenly Father's face?
"It's going to get lively again; this suddenly appearing Kryptonian God has stirred up another big commotion!"
"I never thought Metron would go to such lengths for that chair."
"He actually dared to leave New Gods in such a way; I imagine Izaya's face isn't looking too good right now!"
The various Gods were all in a state of enjoying the show, not minding the trouble.
Dull and boring lives always needed some seasoning, and Kytheron's appearance and actions perfectly satisfied their desire for a spectacle.
… …
New Gods!
Metron's words swearing allegiance to Kytheron suddenly echoed in a golden hall, startling the New Gods seated within.
Then, after a brief moment of bewilderment, anger instantly surged, especially in Orion, who should have been Darkseid's son.
Originally inheriting Darkseid's violent divinity, he had lost his former aggressive demeanor under the Heavenly Father's "enlightenment," but the divinity itself still had an influence.
So, he sprang to his feet, saying with a furious expression:
"Heavenly Father, let me go capture that traitor Metron and bring him back for judgment."
The other New Gods of equally high status around him were also indignant.
As the leader of New Gods, the Heavenly Father had always used his "benevolence" to genuinely win over every New God who joined.
Metron's actions not only slapped the Heavenly Father's face but also trampled the entire dignity of New Gods underfoot. How could this be tolerated.
