The words of the God of Destruction laid out the incriminating evidence against Asura with absolute clarity. Even the God of Evil, who was partial to Asura, could not find a single flaw in them.
To prove the truth of the words spoken by the God of Destruction, and equally to clear Asura's name, the God of Evil led the Deities to the Asura God Temple.
"Asura, are you in there? If you are, open the door."
The residences of the Deities in the Divine Realm all possessed a certain amount of energy. Barging in without the owner's permission could result in unexpected attacks.
Therefore, in the Divine Realm, Deities generally stayed within their own residences precisely to avoid accidentally trespassing onto another god's territory.
Asura was also one of the five God Kings of the Divine Realm, so the power of the protective barrier around his estate could be imagined. Thus, even the God of Evil did not dare to casually barge into a God King's territory.
If anyone else had asked, this door might not have opened. However, the God of Destruction had deliberately brought the God of Evil here-first, to confirm whether there was any private connection between the two of them, and second, to prove the God of Evil's innocence.
Seeing the heavy doors open automatically, the God of Destruction wore an expression of so it is as I thought. "Evil, it seems the Asura God only welcomes you. Why don't you go in and bring Asura out for us?"
Although the doors had opened, it did not mean everyone was welcome to enter. Asura's doors only permitted a single person to enter, and that person could only be the God of Evil.
"Ah, why don't you come inside with me, Destruction? I'm not too at ease going in alone. After all, the Asura God of today is no longer the same as before."
The God of Evil naturally knew the reason for the current Asura's abnormal state; after all, just a few days ago, Asura had tried to win him over. Although he had wavered somewhat at the time, for the sake of his wife, he still did not yield to Asura's temptation.
Even though he had not agreed, the God of Evil had still learned the source of that power within Asura's body-it was an extremely evil power. Moreover, that power called itself Wuxie, and Wuxie had threatened the God of Evil, saying that if the God of Evil did not help him or if he leaked his existence, then both the God of Evil and his wife would die.
The God of Evil did not dare to use his own life and his wife's life as a gamble, yet he wanted even less to see the Divine Realm encounter danger. In order to appease Wuxie, the God of Evil could only feign compliance with Wuxie's conditions.
Yet Wuxie was also a cunning character; he had not trusted the God of Evil's compromise. To ensure that the God of Evil truly did as he said, Wuxie had also secretly injected a special power belonging to him into the God of Evil's body.
By the time the God of Evil discovered it, it was already too late, because that power had already merged into one with his own power. If he wanted to excise Wuxie's power, his cultivation might suffer a drastic reduction.
A helpless God of Evil could only help Wuxie play the tyrant in the Divine Realm. At first, the God of Evil saw that all Wuxie did were trivial matters, and that the ones being persecuted were merely those divine beasts in the Divine Beast Forest, which was why the God of Evil had set his mind at ease.
However, in places where the God of Evil could not see, Wuxie was also gradually infiltrating the Divine Realm Center. Just as the God of Evil wanted to report this matter to the God of Destruction, such a sudden upheaval occurred in the Divine Realm.
"Since you are so guilt-ridden, this old man will just go inside with you."
The God of Destruction had originally suspected these two individuals to be the culprits behind the changes in the Divine Realm. Seeing their current state, the God of Destruction became even more certain of his suspicions.
After the two entered Asura's estate, their expressions turned stern. It was not as if they had never been here before, but previously, although it was somewhat gloomy, they had never felt that bone-chilling coldness.
Yet stepping inside today was distinctly different from before. This cold, sinister aura was intensely severe, palpable even to beings of their realm.
"Evil, do you truly have no private dealings with the Asura God? Do not think that I am targeting Asura; I am being very serious this time."
The face of the God of Destruction was inherently paralyzed, and it was basically impossible to tell what was serious and what was a joke in what he said. But this time, the God of Evil clearly heard the seriousness in the God of Destruction, and behind the back where the God of Destruction could not see, the God of Evil broke out in a cold sweat.
"Destruction, what are you saying? How could I possibly harm the Divine Realm? Look at it from another perspective: if I really did this, the Divine Realm would have already become like this long ago. After all, I am the one who holds the Divine Realm Center."
What the God of Evil said was not wrong, but his suspicion had not yet been erased from the heart of the God of Destruction.
"We have arrived."
The God of Destruction and the God of Evil came to the place where Asura resided, and the scene inside the room left the two of them shaken to the core.
"Is this Asura?" Seeing Asura fallen on the ground, the God of Destruction had never expected that someone of Asura's realm would actually collapse here unattended.
Judging by the environment surrounding Asura where he lay on the ground, the amount of time he had been down here was definitely not short. During the period of time he had been lying here, who on earth was the Asura God appearing in the Divine Realm?
The God of Destruction, harboring this question in his heart, turned to face the God of Evil. He believed the God of Evil must know the answer.
"Evil, you know, don't you? Hurry up and spit out what you know, otherwise, the Divine Realm will..."
The God of Evil let out a sigh. "It really can't be hidden from you, Destruction. If this accident hadn't happened today, I originally intended to tell you. I do indeed know who this person is, except..."
"Knowing, why didn't you speak up? Did you just intend to watch outsiders invade our Divine Realm? Are you not one of the God Kings of the Divine Realm? As a member of the God Realm Committee, you are supposed to uphold the Divine Realm! Have you even forgotten your basic responsibilities?"
The God of Evil, who already harbored guilt, was made to feel even more conscience-stricken by the God of Destruction's cross-examination. He had violated the rules established by the God Realm Committee; according to the regulations, he would be stripped of his divine position.
"I know, but my own life doesn't matter. Furthermore, the life of the God of Kindness is also being held in that person's grasp; I cannot let the woman I love lose her life."
The God of Evil still dared not speak the truth. It was precisely because he knew Wuxie's might that he was all the more reluctant to drag others down into the water.
"Do you not trust us? We will definitely protect the God of Kindness well. Moreover, as you know, the God of Kindness is also a member of the God Realm Committee. She will certainly fight for the Divine Realm. If she were to suffer any harm in the battle..."
The God of Destruction, who also had a family, deeply understood the God of Evil's current thoughts, and equally understood the God of Evil's current weakness.
"Destruction, you actually..."
The God of Evil also understood the words spoken by the God of Destruction. As a member of the Divine Realm, the God of Kindness was bound to help the Divine Realm weather this disaster. However, if they did not know the enemy's situation, the God of Kindness's life might be taken away by the enemy.
This was a threat!
