Total Victory for Our Side

An uninvited guest had arrived outside the Castle of Destruction.

Although the current God of Asura was not the future Tang San, the God of Destruction still had no fondness for him.

And Destruction knew why he had come.

Helping Su Chen obtain his first Soul Ring had caused a bit too much of a commotion.

The heavenly tribulation itself was easy enough to explain, but the key was that the God of Destruction had later personally intervened, forcefully elevating the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to a million years and helping Su Chen seal its immense energy.

The God of Asura had come now because he had surely detected that Destruction's power had entered the Douluo Continent.

Naturally, the God of Destruction was not afraid of the God of Asura. He simply did not want to draw the attention of the God of Evil and the God of Goodness and affect his future plans.

What the God of Destruction had asked Su Chen about was how to brush off the God of Asura's questioning.

"I did something I don't want others to know about. Someone noticed, and for now, I don't want to clash with him. Is there any way to fool him?"

Su Chen could not help shaking his head.

What sort of image did the God of Destruction have of him?

Why did he think he could get answers from Su Chen for every underhanded trick?

"Senior Destruction, neither explaining nor fooling him is a good solution. Explanations are easily seen as excuses, while deception is easily taken as a sign of guilt."

"Then tell me, what other method is there?"

The God of Destruction's eagerness to learn was plain to see as he awaited another brilliant strategy from Su Chen.

"You fight your battle, and I fight mine. Don't fall into the other party's rhythm. Instead, find his flaws and misdeeds, then strike. The key is to be righteous and confident, to seize the moral high ground."

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

It was the first time the God of Destruction had encountered such a completely new approach, and he immediately felt enlightened.

Passive defense truly was inferior to taking the initiative.

As for finding the God of Asura's flaws...

Did he even need to look? Wasn't it sitting right there?

"Destruction, why did your power descend upon the Douluo Continent? Gods may not interfere with the affairs of the lower realms without authorization, especially not a God King such as yourself."

The God of Asura was the god of law enforcement. When he spoke, he was righteous and imposing, carrying the air of one who judged and sentenced all gods.

Yet his brows remained furrowed as he spoke.

The surrounding Destruction Intent continually harassed him, as though it wanted to burrow into his mind.

Hadn't they said the God of Destruction's temperament had changed greatly, and that the Destruction Intent within the Castle of Destruction had been confined to a certain area?

Of course, this was intentional on the God of Destruction's part.

He would show consideration for others and restrain the Destruction Intent.

But toward the God of Asura, he had even made the Destruction Intent somewhat more violent.

Faced with the God of Asura's questioning, the God of Destruction showed no guilt whatsoever. Instead, he stared directly at him.

"You came at the right time. If you hadn't come looking for me, I would have gone looking for you."

"What do you mean?"

The God of Asura's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.

The reason he was so sensitive about the God of Destruction's power entering the Douluo Continent was entirely because he himself had arrangements there.

"Earlier, I discovered a soul beast on the Douluo Continent that had slipped through the heavenly tribulation. I don't know what method it used to narrowly evade it, so I made up for it."

The God of Destruction began with something inconsequential, which also explained why he had noticed the Douluo Continent.

"But..."

The God of Destruction's tone suddenly became heavier.

"But what?"

The God of Asura sounded somewhat anxious, wondering whether coming here rashly had been a mistake.

In his impression, the God of Destruction was not someone skilled with words.

"But I discovered something very interesting. You said my power entered the Douluo Continent plane, but that was because I needed to determine why another God King's power had appeared on the Douluo Continent."

This was bad.

The God of Asura inwardly cried out in alarm.

The God of Asura fell silent, but the God of Destruction would not stop. Instead, he pressed his advantage.

"God of Asura, can you explain why, as a god of law enforcement, your power appeared on a child in the Douluo Continent?"

The God of Destruction's tone grew increasingly stern, completely reversing the earlier balance of momentum.

"I..."

"You came questioning why my power entered the Douluo Continent with such urgency. Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?"

"Destruction, what do you mean by that?"

The God of Asura suddenly raised his voice, concealing the unease in his heart.

"You said it yourself, I am a god of law enforcement. Several gods have emerged from the Douluo Continent, so it is only reasonable for me to pay it extra attention. Besides, I left behind an inheritance on the Douluo Continent. It is hardly strange for someone to accidentally obtain my power."

"Excuses!"

The God of Destruction clearly saw in the God of Asura what it meant for an explanation to be nothing more than an excuse. Wasn't this the best proof?

"Is your inheritance roadside grass, something a child can pick up whenever he wants?"

"I can't be bothered to speak with you. My conscience is clear in this matter. I have my own explanation for the God of Evil and the God of Goodness."

With that, the God of Asura prepared to leave.

"Hah, casually brushing it off, and you still say you aren't guilty?"

The God of Asura's body trembled as he hurried away, and his heart felt indescribably miserable.

The God of Destruction, meanwhile, felt thoroughly exhilarated.

It was fortunate that he had asked Su Chen for advice. Otherwise, he might have been the one left speechless.

But from this matter, the God of Destruction could also see that the current God of Asura was cut from the same cloth as the future Tang San.

Double standards, tyranny, hypocrisy—he had it all.

No wonder he had taken a liking to Tang San and chosen him as the next God of Asura. Like recognized like.

What concerned the God of Destruction was the God of Asura's final remark.

"Could the God of Evil and the God of Goodness know about this, which is why the God of Asura said he had his own explanation?"

Thinking of how the God of Asura, the God of Evil, and the God of Goodness would successively pass down their divine positions, the God of Destruction felt he had to be on guard.

"Senior Destruction, has your matter been resolved?"

Su Chen was very concerned about the God of Destruction's battle results.

"Yes, it is over. Our side achieved a complete victory."

To the God of Destruction, winning a battle of words was even more gratifying than winning an actual fight.

He had suffered enough losses from being inarticulate and straightforward. Others should experience that grievance too.

"That's good."

The God of Destruction was Su Chen's backing in the God Realm. With the God of Destruction around, he could say, "I've got someone above me."

If the God of Destruction fell from power, it would be Su Chen's greatest loss.

"If you have nothing else to do, I'll explore my soul skills."

"Good. Having gained new power, you truly need to familiarize yourself with it."

Only then did Su Chen begin examining himself.

He had thought that since the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had not yet reached a million years, it could only provide him with two soul skills, which was somewhat regrettable.

Who would have thought that upon checking, Su Chen discovered he had four soul skills as well.

"How is it? Quite a pleasant surprise, isn't it? A million-year soul beast can provide you with four soul skills, allowing you to greatly surpass other soul masters from the very beginning."

"You mean that big bug is a million-year soul beast?"

Had the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm taken steroids? Its age had increased so quickly.

"It was still a little short at first. I gave it a hand, allowing it to finally reach the million-year threshold."

Su Chen: God of Destruction, you're absolutely a good man!
