Did I Really Make a Mistake? / The Mad Ferocious Beasts
The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point upon hearing this.
······································
However, faced with the Asura God's warning, which was practically an ultimatum, the God of Destruction not only did not back down, but his purplish-black eyes instead blazed with an even more intense and excited light!
"Hahaha!" The God of Destruction let out a low laugh. "Asura, if it were in the past, with your unquestionable and domineering personality, why would you warn me? You would have already struck with your sword! This warning, which is all bark and no bite... doesn't it just confirm my guess?"
The God of Destruction stared at the Asura God, "Having lost the Asura Divine Sword... how much of your strength do you have left?"
"Without that supreme artifact that represents the power of killing and judgment, what do you use to maintain your so-called 'order'? And what right do you have to stop me from eliminating Tang San, this scourge?!"
His suspicions were not unfounded. In the God of Destruction's view, the "missing" Asura Divine Sword meant that the Asura God's power should have been severely diminished.
This "warning" is nothing but a blustering bluff!
"Enough, Destruction!" Finally, the gentle yet anxious and pained voice of the Life Goddess rang out, interrupting the aggressive momentum of the God of Destruction.
She leaped forward, standing between her husband and the Asura God, her beautiful eyes filled with disapproval and worry.
Looking at her husband's almost obsessive and insane state, she felt a deep sense of helplessness.
"The Asura God has ruled the Divine Realm's order and judgment for countless years; every decision he makes must have its profound meaning! His choice to temporarily spare Tang San naturally has its considerations and reasons! Why can't you... trust him just this once?" The Life Goddess pleaded earnestly. She didn't want to see her husband, due to madness and obsession, head down the path of a complete break with another God-King, which would be a disaster for the Divine Realm.
However, her advice, which she believed was out of consideration for the greater good and for their marital bond, sounded extremely grating to the ears of the God of Destruction.
The God of Destruction slowly shifted his gaze from the Asura God to his wife's face, who was standing in front of him.
Those dark purple eyes, which would always soften unconsciously when facing the Life Goddess, were now devoid of their usual gentleness.
"Get out of my way, or I'll kill you." His voice was low and hoarse. "I must kill Tang San, this menace, today to prevent future troubles. Otherwise..."
He paused, then his body suddenly surged with destructive lightning, forcing back the gentle green light of life emanating from the Life Goddess. The threat in his words was undisguised:
"Don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Destruction! Don't be so stubborn! We can still talk..." The Life Goddess, pale-faced, still wanted to make a final effort, trying to persuade her husband with reason and emotion.
But the God of Destruction, who has made a firm decision to personally eradicate the "root of evil," cannot be swayed by the mere words of the Life Goddess.
His "concessions" after countless arguments in the past were merely acts of restraint and leniency because he deeply loved his wife.
When he truly cast aside these concerns and made up his mind, the obstacles from the Life Goddess appeared... fragile and powerless in the face of his vast and unparalleled Destruction Divine Power.
The God of Destruction didn't even glance at his wife. The destructive energy gathered around him had already transformed into a purple-black torrent of lightning that tore through space, forcefully pushing aside the life barrier that the Life Goddess was trying to build. With a terrifying aura of destroying everything, he brazenly bypassed her obstruction and pounced straight at Tang San, who was curled up on the ground and was being subtly protected by the Rakshasa Divine Power!
Did Chapter 322 really make a mistake?
The Life Goddess was thrown back by the merciless destructive force, her divine power shield flickering, her beautiful face drained of color, and her eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
This is the first time... the God of Destruction has attacked her.
In the past, no matter how intense the arguments were or how opposing their ideas were, her loving husband would always endure it, even when he was so angry that his body was engulfed in destructive lightning, and he never truly directed his Destruction Divine Power at her.
This fearless "favoritism" is precisely the source of her confidence—a Life Goddess who is not good at fighting—to stand before the raging fury of the God of Destruction time and time again, attempting to quell everything with words and emotions.
She thought it would be the same this time.
The Asura God initially felt relieved when he saw the Life Goddess blocking his way again.
Based on his understanding of the couple, the God of Destruction's love for life transcends all conflicts of principle, and the intervention of the Life Goddess often means the de-escalation of conflict and the possibility of reconciliation.
He thought things would end up like countless times before, with life's advice leading to nothing.
However, reality gave them a resounding slap in the face.
Even the advice of the Life Goddess failed this time.
Before the Asura God could think, the purple lightning of the God of Destruction was already upon him! He had to fight!
Boom--!!!
The crimson killing power and the purplish-black destructive lightning collided violently, unleashing a terrifying roar.
Even the aftershocks caused the temple's sturdy spatial structure to groan under the strain.
Those weaker Second-Level God and priests around had already turned pale and wisely retreated from the core of the battlefield, fearing they would be drawn into a life-or-death struggle at the god-king level.
The Life Goddess snapped out of his shock, looked at the two intertwined figures, and without hesitation, gritted his teeth. A soft yet resilient emerald green light of life emanated from his body, flowing precisely into the body of the Asura God like a babbling brook!
"Life, you—!" The God of Destruction's roar was filled with the fury of being utterly betrayed.
With the powerful "external aid" of the Life Divine Power, the Asura God's blood-red divine power, which had been somewhat exhausted, suddenly surged in power. It not only stabilized its position but even pushed back at one point, suppressing the God of Destruction's destructive lightning!
··········································
Meanwhile, the two god-kings, the Godess of Kindness and the Evil God, remained leisurely hovering at the edge of the battle, as if watching a drama that had nothing to do with them.
They exchanged a glance, both seeing in each other's eyes an air of detachment.
They had little interest in the daily affairs of the Divine Realm. From Tang San's memories, they learned that in the future, they would also leave behind their legacy early and depart gracefully, without any direct conflict of interest or deep hatred with Tang San.
The same applies now; they only want their chosen candidates to successfully become gods, then leave the Divine Realm, this place of trouble, and live a carefree life. They have no intention of risking their lives for the future of the Douluo God Realm and the possible resurrection of the Dragon God.
Whether Tang San lives or dies, or whether there is internal strife within the Divine Realm, are all just "excitement" to be watched with a cold eye.
The Godess of Kindness even thought with great interest that if she could reform someone as "extremely evil" as Tang San, wouldn't that better demonstrate her pursuit of the "ultimate goodness of humanity"?
But this was just a fleeting thought, far from enough to make her intervene.
··············
The God of Destruction watched as his wife, who stood unhesitatingly behind the Asura God, poured her power into the "enemy" to fight against him, and his disappointment and pain almost overflowed, eventually turning into a fit of rage.
It's happening again!
Regardless of right or wrong, no matter how hard he tried to explain his ideas and concerns, his wife always chose to side with outsiders, always unconditionally believing their judgments instead of her husband's!
Tang San's crimes were so obvious, yet his wife chose to "trust" Asura God without hesitation and used her power to help him fight against her, all because of a few vague words from Asura God!
"Ah--!!!"
Extreme anger and disappointment completely overwhelmed the God of Destruction's last shred of reason and restraint.
He no longer considered whether it would harm his wife; the rage and tyranny of his destructive godhood were unleashed without reservation at this moment!
"Annihilation Divine Thunder!"
An even more violent and profound purplish-black destructive lightning bolt poured out from the staff in the hand of the God of Destruction, ruthlessly crashing into the combined defense of the Asura God and the Life Goddess!
For a time, a strange stalemate formed on the battlefield.
Having lost the Asura Divine Sword, a supreme artifact, the Asura God, in terms of the strength and offensive power of his own divine power, can only be considered to have barely reached the threshold of God King, and could even be called a "quasi-God King" level.
If it weren't for the Life Goddess's relentless replenishment and blessing of his Life Divine Power, he would have already been defeated by the God of Destruction's all-out offensive.
Although the God of Destruction was significantly stronger than the Asura God had lost his divine sword, he was still unable to easily defeat his opponent, who was aided by the Life Goddess.
The battle has reached a stalemate and a point of attrition.
Both sides exerted their full strength, resulting in a fierce clash of divine power.
Ultimately, after yet another earth-shattering collision, both sides realized that they could not defeat each other in the short term.
Continuing down this path will only result in mutual destruction, and may even completely destroy the central hub of the Divine Realm.
They could only retreat simultaneously, creating distance between themselves.
The fighting has temporarily ceased.
Several deep cracks appeared on the God of Destruction, Sisi destructive lightning escaped uncontrollably from the cracks.
The crimson light surrounding the Asura God also dimmed considerably, and his aura became somewhat unstable.
The wounds on the Life Goddess's body, inflicted by his forceful intervention in the clash between the God-Kings, healed rapidly under the flow of the Life Divine Power, leaving no trace.
But she didn't react at all. She just stood there blankly, staring blankly at the back of the figure that hadn't said a word, hadn't even looked at her, and had turned into a streak of purple-black lightning and left.
In the past... no matter how fierce the argument was, it was always her husband who would be the first to back down, coming to her with an awkward or helpless expression, "admitting his mistake" or trying to reconcile.
But this time...
He didn't turn around.
Could it be... that I really made a mistake this time?
A sense of bewilderment, unease, and a hint of regret made this usually gentle and resolute Life God King appear somewhat vulnerable at this moment.
She had a vague feeling that she was about to lose her husband.
The Asura God had no interest in the Life Goddess; he walked up to Tang San, his blood-red eyes filled with indifference.
He had completely broken with the God of Destruction for this guy.
If Tang San cannot satisfy me, I will make him regret being born!
Chapter 323 The Mad Ferocious Beast
Dragon God Realm, Dragon God Hall.
Inside the majestic temple, nebula-like bands of energy flowed slowly across the dome.
The Dragon God's enormous golden body coiled in the center of the temple, each long breath causing a surge of powerful air currents, with clouds and mist swirling around it, making it both sacred and ethereal.
However, this newly formed body is far from regaining its former peak.
The intelligence relayed back by Di Tian and others—the news that the Douluo God Realm had devoured a mid-level plane—did not stir the Dragon God's weathered eyes in the slightest.
Those golden dragon eyes were as deep as an abyss, devoid of anger or urgency, only displaying a cold majesty and an almost ruthless rationality.
The resurrection was successful, thanks to the forbidden reincarnation technique of that mysterious "young dragon".
However, the four most important divine kings' divine statuses had already been seized after their deaths, and the Silver Dragon King, who represented the ultimate control over spirit and elements, had not returned to his rightful place.
Lacking these core elements, the Dragon God at this moment possesses only the status of a God-King, a powerful physical body, and a vast dragon soul foundation, but his actual combat strength is less than one-fifth of his peak.
If the Golden Dragon King's power and his own dragon soul were not strong enough, he probably wouldn't even be able to stabilize his God King realm.
The Dragon God's voice echoed in the temple, revealing neither joy nor anger. "Continue monitoring."
He knew better than anyone that anger and impatience were the Avengers' greatest enemies.
Having experienced betrayal and the near annihilation of his tribe, he had developed an unparalleled control over his emotions.
What's needed most now is not a reckless attack, but time—to stabilize this newly formed Dragon God Realm, strengthen the dimensional barrier, quietly approach the Douluo God Realm, and at the same time... accumulate power.
