Wang's accusations
Inside the God Realm Committee, the God of Judgment was kneeling in the very center of the hall, awaiting the judgment of the gods.
The five God King above the main hall sat in their respective seats, each with a different expression. The God King of Goodness slowly spoke, " God of Judgment, you have violated the rules of the Divine Realm, descending to the mortal world without permission to attempt to kill a youth. Do you know your crime?"
The God of Judgment knelt in the center, remained silent for a moment, then bowed his head and answered, " God King, I know my sin." His voice was low, but clearly audible. The God King of Goodness nodded, then said, "According to the rules of the Divine Realm, your actions must be punished accordingly. You will be stripped of some of your Divine Power, your Godhood authority weakened, and demoted from Third-Level God to God Officer. Do you accept this punishment?"
"I..."
Upon hearing this punishment, the God of Judgment's expression changed drastically. The treatment of Third-Level God and God Officer was worlds apart. Although the difference between the two was only one God Ring, ordinary high God Officer in the Divine Realm were merely servants.
The God of Judgment was filled with shock and rage. This punishment undoubtedly stripped him of most of his power, and his Godhood would be greatly diminished. "If you reveal the mastermind behind you, we can reduce your punishment," the God King of Goodness said, glancing at the Asura God sitting to his right, who remained silent with icy eyes.
The atmosphere in the hall froze instantly, and all the gods held their breath. A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the God King of Goodness, which slowly turned into deep disappointment.
At that moment, the Asura God, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, his voice cold and majestic, " God of Judgment, you have rejected our proposal. It seems you would rather bear a heavier punishment for your mastermind. This is your choice."
The Asura God's eyes were cold, and a sword flashing red light suddenly appeared in his hand, its blade engraved with unknown symbols. All the God King looked at him in astonishment, even the God King of Goodness frowned slightly.
" Asura God, you..." The God King of Goodness was about to speak when he was interrupted by the Asura God's cold gaze. "This is what I should do." The Asura God's voice was icy, and his gaze was firm. Then, he swung his sword at the God of Judgment. The sword light Rulong, cutting a dazzling streak of light in the hall. The God of Judgment's eyes widened, his body stiffened, unable to move.
The Divine Power within the God of Judgment began to flicker with a faint light, indicating that his Divine Power was weakening. He felt as if his body was being pulled by an invisible force, gradually being drawn towards the position of the God Officer. He was unwilling, but he was powerless to resist.
The aura of the God of Judgment began to weaken at a visible rate.
His Divine Power was stripped away inch by inch, and his body began to tremble slightly. The gods in the hall were all shocked by this scene. They watched as the God of Judgment's aura gradually weakened until he finally collapsed to the ground.
All the gods fell silent as they watched the corpse of the God of Judgment being dragged out of the hall by a divine servant and then disappearing into the darkness.
" Asura God, your actions have crossed our boundaries." The voice of the God King of Goodness carried a hint of coldness. "You have arbitrarily deprived the God of Judgment Life; this is unforgivable."
The atmosphere in the hall instantly tensed. A cold glint flashed in the Asura God's eyes, but it quickly returned to its usual indifference. He slowly stood up, looked at the God King of Goodness, and said calmly, " Kindness, just as your name suggests, you are far Kindness. The punishment you gave was too lenient. If it is merely stripping away the God Ring, many gods will knowingly violate the law and descend to the mortal realm without permission. Such situations should be severely punished, shouldn't they?"
The God King of Goodness took a deep breath and said nothing more.
" Asura, although that Judgment kid is a bit crazy sometimes, he's still your loyal follower. Aren't you afraid of alienating your own people by doing this?" the Evil God King interjected.
"As an enforcer of the Divine Realm..."
"We must uphold the order and dignity of the Divine Realm, and we cannot allow any god to violate the rules for personal gain." The Asura God's voice echoed in the hall, each word filled with power. The sword in his hand gradually disappeared into the air, as if it had never existed. The Asura God coldly watched as the corpse of the God of Judgment was dragged out of the hall, then turned and walked towards his seat.
"Then I hope you will treat yourself the same way."
The Destruction God King slowly stood up, his dark eyes containing boundless Destruction power.
" Asura, a few days ago, I sensed the aura of the God of Death in your temple. You should explain to me what this is all about." The Destruction God King's tone was full of indifference.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly tensed. All the gods looked at the Asura God, awaiting his answer. The Asura God slowly turned around to face the Destruction God King, his eyes showing no panic or unease. He took a deep breath and then said, " Destruction, I did indeed sense the aura of the God of God of Death in my temple; that is a fact." "Oh? Then can you explain why the God of Death appeared in your temple?" The Destruction God King's tone was full of suspicion and accusation.
The Asura God remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "How would I know? The God of Death has always been the most unique existence in our Divine Realm. His Godhood is not bound by the Divine Realm. He left the Divine Realm tens of thousands of years ago, only returning occasionally. Perhaps he just happened to pass by my temple this time."
"Just happened to be passing by? Didn't you take advantage of our inattention to secretly eliminate him and steal his Godhood into your own body? A few days ago, you used the God of Death Godhood as bait to get the God of Judgment to do your bidding, to descend to the mortal realm and kill that little brat, simply because he stole the opportunity from the person you chose. Am I right?"
All the gods stared wide-eyed at the Asura God in disbelief. The Asura God's expression shifted slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. " Destruction —that's a serious accusation. I must admit, I did have that thought, but I didn't succeed. Furthermore, I didn't send the God of Judgment to the mortal realm to kill anyone. That's your own business; I was merely an observer."
The Asura God's voice remained calm and resolute. All the gods began to whisper among themselves. A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the God King of Goodness and the Goddess of Life, while the Evil God King wore a cold smile. The Destruction God King maintained his superior posture, intending to judge the Asura God.
Just then, a divine servant suddenly stepped forward and whispered a few words in the ear of the God King of Goodness. The God King of Goodness's expression changed slightly, he nodded, and then slowly stood up.
"Everyone, I believe we have all understood. The aura of the God of Death God King of Goodness has indeed appeared in the Asura God Temple, which forces us to believe the truth of this accusation. However, we cannot simply believe one side of the story." The voice of the Kind God King echoed in the hall.
