Can't Figure It Out
Just as Night God was engulfed in endless self-reproach, the Godslayer raised his sword hilt and smashed it against the back of his head.
"You believe the words of the God of Lies? Are you crazy?"
The Godslayer glanced sideways and coldly surveyed the God of Lies below.
That gentle, harmless smile, in his eyes, was even more repulsive than the most deserving-of-a-beaten-up person in the Righteous Gods.
Perhaps he should find an opportunity, when the Asura God isn't paying attention, to kill the God of Lies and that damned God of Desire together. After all, they're Scourge if they're alive, and they'll only cause bigger trouble sooner or later.
However, this wasn't the first time the Godslayer had this thought.
The problem is that most of the time, these two things are like two plasters stuck to the Asura God's body, impossible to peel off, leaving him no chance to even make a move.
The Night God was struck by the hilt of the sword by the Godslayer, making him see stars, but he was also finally awakened.
He covered the back of his head, his dark eyes refocusing.
Yes.
The other party is the God of Lies, Evil God whose name is based on lies. It would be good if even one word uttered from his mouth was true.
He was so worried that he lost his composure, his mind preoccupied with Yue's safety, that he gave the other party an opportunity to take advantage of him.
The God of Lies seemed somewhat disappointed by this.
He shrugged, his gentle face filled with innocence, and said with a wronged expression:
"I was clearly telling the truth, so why do some gods assume I must be lying just because I'm the God of Lies? That prejudice is just too deep."
He changed the subject abruptly, adding with a smile.
"If you don't believe me, just ask Asura God. Asura God never stoops to lying; surely you don't even trust Asura God?"
As he was speaking, he heard a rustling sound behind him.
The God of Desire slowly awoke, propping himself up with one hand and sitting up. With the other hand, he touched the large bump on his head where he had been hit by the Spiked Club, and gasped in pain.
Those heterochromatic eyes, amber gold and mercury blue, quickly locked onto the culprit, glaring fiercely at the God of Lies.
Damn the God of Lies! Didn't the other party always believe in "never resorting to violence if they could use words"?
When did things become so violent?
It seems that his words just now really hit the other party's most sensitive spot.
But what does it have to do with him?
The God of Desire glared fiercely at the God of Lies, his heterochromatic eyes blazing with fury.
He tried to suppress his anger, taking one deep breath after another, but found that he couldn't.
"Lies? Then let's settle this today. We've disliked each other for a long time anyway."
That's the truth.
The God of Desire and the God of Lies have disliked each other for a long time.
One desire, one lie.
They don't conflict in Authority, but their personalities clash.
The God of Lies disliked the God of Desire's perpetually lustful nature, and the God of Desire disliked the God of Lies' hypocritical behavior.
Unfortunately, neither of them is good at direct combat; they are better at hiding behind the scenes and inciting other gods to fight for them than to personally engage in battle.
Furthermore, at times, they had to admit that the other was indeed very useful, such as joining forces to trick other Evil Gods, managing the Asura God's Temple together, exchanging information on matters concerning the Asura God, and so on...
And so they endured it all, holding their noses, for who knows how many years.
But today, that blow from the God of Lies made the God of Desire finally lose patience.
Who does he think he is?
How dare they hit themselves with Spiked Club!
The God of Desire and the God of Lies are locked in a tense standoff, poised for a life-or-death battle.
However, before they could actually engage in combat, Wuma Xiu appeared between the two gods and sent them flying with a single hand.
"Get lost if you want to die."
Wuma Xiu withdrew his hand.
His Asura God's Temple could no longer withstand further damage.
In the air, the God of Desire and the God of Lies exchanged a glance, separated by a few feet.
Well, what can they do?
The Asura God couldn't even bear to let them fight each other, so he personally swatted them away, clearly preventing them from suffering mutual destruction.
To maintain harmony between them, the Asura God actually went to the trouble of taking matters into his own hands; his efforts were truly commendable.
Having figured this out, the God of Desire and the God of Lies looked at each other simultaneously and shook hands in reconciliation.
This scene left the Night God and the Godslayer speechless for a long time.
They simply couldn't understand the thought processes of these two Evil Gods.
Just a second ago they wanted to kill each other.
The Godslayer was quite confident in his ability to sense Killing Intent; those two Killing Intents were real and absolutely genuine.
But the next second, after being slapped away by the Asura God, the two gods actually shook hands and made peace.
Did something happen that they don't know about?
But what else could it be besides that slap from the Asura God?
The Godslayer and the Night God exchanged a glance, seeing the same bewilderment in each other's eyes.
They still couldn't understand it in the end.
But perhaps that's what distinguishes them from Evil Gods?
In that moment of distraction, the God of Desire rose from the ground, returned to Wuma Xiu's side, and said:
"Asura God, I am deeply ashamed for causing you some unnecessary trouble just now. However, the cause of this incident was that the God of Lies attacked me first. I was just a little bit grumpy when I woke up, which is why I couldn't control my emotions and argued with him."
"As you know, anyone would be a little angry if they were woken up by Spiked Club."
The God of Lies, seeing that the God of Desire and the Evil God had filed a complaint first, also said:
"Lord Asura God, please see the truth. It was clearly the God of Desire who was secretly eroding your fighting spirit and provoking me with all sorts of words. I simply couldn't stand by and watch, so I chose the gentlest way to calm him down and give him a moment of baby-like sleep."
"Who knew he would not only be ungrateful, but now he's even Evil God accusing me!"
Wuma Xiu simply listened to the endless tales of the God of Desire and the God of Lies.
Did he really think he didn't hear anything?
One by one, they were either secretly eating right under my nose, or they were sneaking around getting hit with sticks.
Now they're all rushing to complain.
The Night God and the Godslayer, who were gradually becoming marginalized, decided to make their presence felt again.
"Asura God, hand over the moon. Otherwise, I will immediately summon the Sun God and the Star God."
Night God decided to shake the gods.
He alone cannot defeat the Asura God, but Yue's older brother, the Sun God, and younger brother, the Star God, are not to be underestimated. If he can hold off the Asura God for a moment, he can take advantage of the chaos to rush in and rescue Yue.
"Night, what will you give me?"
A clear and familiar voice rang out.
The Moon God felt as if she had only taken a nap, but everything around her seemed as if a long time had passed.
Look, there are even cracks on that pillar.
Is he perhaps going to sleep until the end of time?
With that thought in mind, the Moon God got out of bed and went outside, only to find the surroundings in ruins.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice.
That was his best friend—Night.
So the Moon God appeared directly at the source of the sound and saw the Night God, who was disheveled, with tattered robes and bloodstains on his face.
The Moon God frowned, her cold eyes sweeping over the Night God, then glancing at the Asura God standing not far away with his spear, before returning to the Night God's face, her tone concerned:
How did you get like this?
