The Sea God strolled leisurely into the main hall, casually raising a hand to disperse the blood-red baleful aura hanging in the air. His tone was teasing and infuriatingly smug.
"Yo, old Asura, why are you panicking? Who could possibly throw a mighty Asura God like you into such turmoil?"
The Asura God raised his eyes and stared at his old friend's relaxed, contented appearance, as though everything were under control. His heart sank at once, and all his doubts suddenly became clear.
He might not trust others, but he knew this old bastard's character better than anyone.

"After working for so many tens of thousands of years, I can finally cast off the restraints of divine office and stop guarding this lifeless God Realm every day."
"Now I can finally free myself up to wander through the cosmos, travel among the countless worlds and planets, and properly enjoy a carefree life."
The Asura God instantly choked on his anger.
In that moment, he understood every link in the chain. Rage shot straight to his head.
No wonder! No
