Andrius Defeats the Abandoned Throne; Barbatos Receives the God Heart and Becomes the God of Freedom-Can Authority Really Be Thrown Away Just Like That?

[Andrius gave up his right to contend for the divine throne.]

[Upon the High Tower, the Wind Spirit named Barbatos received the emerald-green God Heart symbolizing mortal Authority, witnessed by countless winds and snows.]

[He became the new Wind God, one of the Seven Archons of the Mortal World.]

[Divine Name: God of Freedom.]

Just a few short lines, accompanied by the complete dissolution of the proud Giant Wolf in the scene and the sight of the seemingly weak Wind Spirit holding the God Heart, plunged the entire Douluo God Realm, as well as the Douluo Continent below, into utter silence.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They had fought... for nothing?

"Th-this... what is going on?" He Caitou's mouth hung wide open for a long while. "That Wolf King named Andrius went through all that trouble, with his battle intent soaring to the heavens and his power sweeping across heaven and earth, only to... send that Barbatos fellow onto the divine throne?"

"No, that's not right." Bei Bei furrowed his brow, staring intently at the scene. "It wasn't helping Barbatos. From beginning to end, it only wanted to tear apart that 'False Barrier.' It simply couldn't stand Barbatos building a 'prison' in the name of 'freedom.'"

"But in the end, didn't it help him anyway?" Xu Sanshi spread his hands, utterly unable to understand. "It won the battle, won the clash of ideals, and then handed over the greatest benefit—the divine position—to someone else? What was that called? Showing off and then leaving, hiding its achievements and fame?"

"This wolf... was truly a complete madman," Xiao Xiao muttered.

Tang Ya's feelings were even more complicated. She had once been trapped by her sect and bound by hatred. Seeing Andrius say, "A throne only brings shackles," she unexpectedly felt a trace of resonance
