The supporting character's harem is very normal

Chapter 400 The fish has taken the bait.

Dorack knelt before Lathel, his head held high. There was no fear or worry in his eyes; inside those eyes were arrogance, confidence, and… respect.

Yes, he really respected this god. If it weren’t for Lathel, he wouldn’t have had good food to recover from his wounds.

Without the knowledge given by Lathel, he could not create armour that could block arrows.

Besides… in Dorack’s mind, Lathel was a friendly and kind god who never asked for excessive things. No, to be more precise… Lathel hasn’t asked for anything yet.

Although Dorack is young, he is also a good hunter. Of course, he also travelled to many places and saw the gods of many tribes.

Those gods were just like the others: greedy and bloodthirsty. Most of them looked like animals or some kind of bizarre creature.

This was also the first time Dorack saw a God in human form, and because of that, his liking for Lathel also increased.

Lathel saw Dorack’s eyes, and a somewhat daring thought suddenly appeared in his heart. That is, he wanted Dorack to work for him.

That’s right; after all, Dorack considered him a god, so… Lathel decided to help Dorack go faster on the path of a male protagonist.

Lathel looked at Dorack, nodded slightly, and said: “I saw everything that you did.”

Hearing that, Dorack was not worried at all. He bowed his head, then said: “God, I know what I did made you unhappy, however… I can confidently say that I am not wrong.”

“They wanted to kill me; I couldn’t stay silent and let them kill me. Besides… this tribe wants to develop, and I think we shouldn’t let the insects continue to destroy it.”

Lathel was silent for a while after hearing that, and Dorack also quietly waited for his answer.

After a deep breath, Lathel sighed and said: “What you did was right, but… you were too hasty.”

Hearing that, Dorack was a little confused. He bowed his head and said: “Please God, please guide me on the right path.”

“Dorack, you are too young.” Lathel continued: “What you did was not wrong, however… It did not make your enemies fewer; instead, you have more.”

“You killed Doac, and Doban appeared. What did you think would happen after killing Doban? Do you think there won’t be anyone in the village who won’t want to betray you?”

“This…” Dorack faltered.

“You killed Doban with a monster; everyone thought it was an accident, and they still weren’t afraid of you. However, even if they knew you were the one who did that and were afraid of you, could you still be the village chief?”

“Any king who rules over people through fear and violence has only one end… death.”

Dorack frowned, bowed his head, and asked: “God, what should I do?”

He did not doubt what Lathel said because reality proved Lathel’s words to be true.

After Doac died, Doban immediately wanted to kill him. After Doban’s group died, a woman appeared in the village, approaching him and wanting to kill him.

Dorack was really frustrated. He didn’t understand why, after one person died, another person appeared. Like mushrooms growing after the rain, he wondered if he had to kill everyone so that no one could betray this tribe anymore.

In recent days, he has been in a state of high alert as there are many people colluding with other tribes who want to kill him.

There were also many people who wanted to steal the wooden board that could block his arrow. There were also many people who wanted to kill him to compete for the position of village chief.

Up until this point, wherever Dorack looked, he saw enemies. He was so stressed that he wanted to kill everyone and then leave, and abandon this tribe, so that it could destroy itself.

However, when he heard that God was returning today, Dorack waited to meet him.

But he didn’t understand why, before he could tell Doro that he wanted to meet God, God said he wanted to meet him.

Dorack saw Lathel as the last rope that could pull him out of the abyss of hatred and tension. That’s why he looked towards Lathel with trust and hope.

Lathel saw that Dorack was truly respectful and breathed a sigh of relief: ‘The first step, creating trust, has been completed. Now, I need to help Dorack think that I can actually help him become village chief.’

‘Anyway, the male protagonist’s first step is to become the leader of this tribe.’

‘Wait, if that’s the case, then it’s not good. I have to remember the details in the novels I’ve read so that Dorack’s growing up process won’t make any mistakes.’

Lathel frowned and thought. After a moment, he sighed and said: “Dorack, do you want to become a village chief like Doro?”

When hearing Lathel’s sudden question, Dorack didn’t know how to answer. However, when he remembered what Doro had done, he shook his head and replied: “No, I don’t want to become a weak and useless village chief like him.”

“I want to become a strong village chief who can protect everyone.”

Lathel heard that and nodded: ‘As expected of the male lead, only the male lead can think of that thought.’

“So…” Lathel narrowed her eyes and said: “You and Doro, who is stronger?”

Hearing that, Dorack was a bit confused, however, he still answered honestly: “God, I am obviously stronger. Even if Doro holds a weapon in his hand that shoots an arrow stronger than that bow, I can still defeat him.”

“So…” Lathel continued: “Who is stronger, you or me?”

Dorack was startled; he quickly bowed his head and said: “I am just an ant, and you are a God, the sun that shines on the world, the absolute power. I don’t have the right to be compared with you.”

Lathel nodded and continued asking: “Why do you have the idea that you have no right to be compared to me?”

“Because I am a God?”

“That’s right, God.” Dorack nodded and said: “A god cannot be underestimated.”

Lathel shook his head and said: “Dorack, before I became a god, I was an ordinary person like you.”

“What?!” Dorack was startled. At this moment, his eyes were filled with disbelief. However, he didn’t dare say anything because he thought he was about to hear something extremely terrible.

“You heard right.” Lathel smiled as he spoke: “I was also a normal person; I was also cowardly, I was also afraid; and I was also defeated many times.”

“And of course, I also had to kneel in front of others and beg for mercy from my enemies.”

Dorack took a deep breath. He never thought that Lathel was like a normal person. No, according to what he said, he seemed to be even more cowardly than Dorack.

Dorack found it a bit difficult to accept. He couldn’t believe that the god he had given all his respect to was such a coward.

However, when Dorack thought carefully, he felt that something was wrong. That’s why he decided to continue listening.

“Well, you think I’m very cowardly, right?”

Dorack quickly shook his head: “No, I don’t know what you’ve been through, so I don’t dare make any comments.”

“However, for me, you will forever be a God, forever the God that I respect.”

been through, so I don’t dare make any comments.”

“However, for me, you will forever be a God, forever the God “Hahahaha…” Lathel laughed loudly: “You really did not disappoint me.”

“Even though you know I’m a coward, you still don’t look down on me. I feel very satisfied.”

Hearing that, Dorack immediately realised that he seemed to have just passed a test.

“Dorack… Do you want to become a god?”

Dorack was startled. Lathel’s words were very simple, but when they reached his ears, they became extremely resonant and carried a kind of will that made his blood boil.

“God, what do you mean…”

Lathel did not answer; he slowly stood up and said: “Follow me…”

He led the way, and Dorack quickly followed behind Lathel. Their direction was opposite the back of the village.

This valley was very large, equal to five stadiums put together. This place also had extremely large caves and limestone caves.

It can be said that if this area were not a battlefield, this could be a wonder of the world.

Lathel walked in front and said softly: “No matter how strong a human being is, there are limits. Besides, human lifespan also has a limit.”

“Even if you are very strong and very intelligent, however, you cannot resist the power of time.”

Dorack walked behind, hearing that he could only nod slightly, agreeing with Lathel’s words.

Even though he is the strongest in the tribe—strong enough to destroy other tribes and smart enough to create many types of weapons—he still cannot resist the power of time.

“Perhaps… people will fear you and accept your rule; however, one day, you will be as old as Doro.”

“At that time, you will no longer be strong, and your intelligence and reflexes will also be greatly reduced. Will you at that time still be able to govern and develop this tribe?”

“Could it be that… are you doomed to forever be just a human, forever living only in this valley, not knowing what the outside world is like?”

Lathel suddenly stopped walking. He looked into the distance, sighed, and said: “I admit that I used to be very cowardly; however… now I am a god. Those who laughed at me and bullied me are now dead.”

“I am still alive and have even become a god that is admired and worshipped by countless people.”

“Dorack…” Suddenly, Lathel turned to look at Dorack with strange eyes: “Could it be that… Are you willing to be the village chief of a small tribe like this for the rest of your life?”

Hearing that, Dorack suddenly realised something: his intelligence and will seemed to be enlightened. He immediately knelt down and hit his head hard on the ground.

“God, I don’t want to be normal like that. I don’t want to stay here forever. I want to see the outside world; I want to become stronger.”

“I want to become a god.”

“Even though the road is very difficult and you might die, do you still want to go?” Lathel asked softly: “You should remember that… there are many people who want to become gods.”

“However, among the countless people who died, only a few were able to become gods.”

“Dorack, do you still want to become a god?”

Hearing that, Dorack clenched his hands until they turned white, his eyes filled with determination, and he said: “That’s right. Even when faced with death, I am not afraid.”

“Even if I die, at least… I won’t be a coward. At least… I tried my best to step on the path to becoming a god.”

Lathel glanced at Dorack and smiled, thinking to himself: ‘The fish has taken the bait.’
