The G.o.d of Eclipse was a notoriously evil G.o.d. It was not because his divine power was strong or his deity was at the highest level, but because his doctrine and slogan were very powerful. He called on his followers to gather their strength silently and then overthrew the society, the governance, and the world at the critical moment. He devoted himself to the great affairs of destroying the sun and the world.
There were many good G.o.ds and evil G.o.ds in the pantheon temple, but as a non-powerful G.o.d, the G.o.d of Eclipse’s slogan was so well-known that he was considered an anomaly.
It was not surprising that the G.o.d of Justice would pick up his axe and attack him. In fact, when he was chopped to pieces by the axe, there were at least two or three good G.o.ds with a hot temper that also picked up their weapons. If the G.o.d of Justice did not attack the G.o.d of Eclipse first, there were many other G.o.ds ready to do it.
Although that clown, the G.o.d of Eclipse, had been beaten away, the clergy of the G.o.d of Sun had been left vacant. The Master of Order did not say anything nor did the G.o.d of Fire Element and the G.o.ddess of Twilight dare to ask. Therefore, this matter was put aside for a while.
But everyone knew that when the G.o.d of Sun died, it was time for these two G.o.ds to compete for the sun clergy.
Perhaps it would be another great war!
The G.o.d of Fire Element dominated more than half of the planes of fire elements and the biological troops of fire elements. The various kinds of flame elements under his command were so abundant that a huge troop could be formed from them at any time.
The G.o.ddess of Twilight was not strong enough and her subordinates were not sufficient enough. However, she had good relations with all G.o.ds, which was quite different from the lonely G.o.d of Fire Element. As long as she had enough chips to exchange, she could also pull out a powerful army and many G.o.ds would help her.
Generally speaking, each side had their own advantages. Unless they fought with each other, no one was sure which side would win in the end.
In order to win, the G.o.d of Fire Element had begun to a.s.semble his army, and the G.o.ddess of Twilight was busy contacting the G.o.ds she had connections with, calling on them to gather forces. Both sides were preparing for a big fight.
Seeing this scene, the G.o.d of Protection sitting in the fourth row of the Pantheon could not help but laugh coldly.
Where did these two guys’ get their confidence from? The powerful G.o.d of Fire Element may not win. Does the G.o.ddess of Twilight have more allies than the human holy pedigree?
It was really inexplicable!
If Sui Xiong was here, he would probably say, “I have no words too.”
Of course, Sui Xiong didn’t know about the incident in the Pantheon. Now he was concentrating on that battle and studying the means of combat that these two powerful divine G.o.ds had used.
Powerfulness did not simply mean an increase in strength. Of course the strong had great power, which was beyond a doubt. Whether it be the G.o.d of Sun or the G.o.d of Light, the strength of both sides was astonis.h.i.+ng. Even if Sui Xiong swallowed nearly one tenth of the flow magic in the main plane, he couldn’t reach either side.
But as he watched slowly, he gradually realized that powerfulness could not only depend on strength but also on the control of that strength.
For example, the G.o.d of Sun had concentrated the power of the entire holy pedigree and the whole kingdom into himself. Although that big fireball looked silly, every tentacle of it contained terrible power. Sui Xiong dared to bet that if anyone was nudged by any of the tentacles, a G.o.d of this level, such as Wall, would immediately die directly without anytime to rescue them.
Even he himself was not very confident that he could hold off the attacks of the G.o.d of Sun.
His attack was not only violent but also very fast. Hundreds of flame tentacles created a shadow like a burning see, covering the G.o.d of Light in this shadow.
Sui Xiong thought that if he were the G.o.d of Light and confronted the mad G.o.d of Sun, the most practical way for him to win was to retreat quickly before being covered by that shadowy attack. That way Sui Xiong could widen the distance between them as much as he could.
Even he did so, his chance of winning was still very small.
However, even if his odds were very low, Sui Xiong still had a slight chance to win. But if the opponent was the G.o.d of Light…
Sui Xiong could not help but laugh bitterly and shake his head silently.
He really could not win.
The G.o.d of Light was totally different from the G.o.d of Sun. The G.o.d of Light was still a human at this moment, and his moves were very clear. The G.o.d of Light didn’t conjure up numerous tentacles nor was he fast enough to turn himself into a shadow. But the powerful tentacles of the G.o.d of Sun could only clank against the armor of the G.o.d of Light, not even causing him to shake. It was like all the onlookers were frightened to death by the attack, but for the G.o.d of Light, it was just like scratching an itch.
The G.o.d of Light’s attack was not fast at all, and his moves were not complicated; but the G.o.d of Sun could not hold out. Whether the G.o.d of Sun used his tentacles to block or tried to evade, either way didn’t work. The G.o.d of Light’s huge hammer would always break through all the obstacles, ignore any attempts at evading, and hit the G.o.d of Sun accurately with the same precision each time.
Sui Xiong watched for some while and was shocked to find that the intervals between each attack of the G.o.d of Light was almost the same. It seemed that he was attacking at a leisurely pace. No matter what the G.o.d of Sun did, the G.o.d of Light could not change the fact that he was being beaten slowly.
“What the h.e.l.l! He is so strong!”
“You see that too?” the G.o.d of Justice whispered. “This guy is too strong to be beaten!”
“How can he be so strong?” Morani asked. “If you were him, could you attack like that?”
“Although I am confident that I can kill that big fireball, I am afraid that I can’t be as stable as he is.” The G.o.d of Justice sighed. “That’s not my fighting style.”
“So compared to you, who is stronger?” the G.o.ddess of Wealth appeared suddenly and asked curiously.
The G.o.d of Justice concentrated on the battlefield for a long time and sighed lightly.
“If we fight now, we may have a sixty percent chance of peris.h.i.+ng together and the rest, we may have a ten percent chance of winning.”
A sixty percent chance of peris.h.i.+ng together and a ten percent chance of winning—that was to say that the remaining thirty percent would be a loss.
This had already admitted that the G.o.d of Justice’s power was inferior to the other side. For the G.o.d of Justice who had always been regarded as the most powerful divine and was qualified to compete for the glorious t.i.tle of “The First Man Under Great Divinity,” it was a great shame.
But the G.o.d of Justice didn’t care about disgrace; he cared about the unprecedented growth of the evil power.
He knew and everyone knew that the G.o.d of Light was an evil G.o.d.
This G.o.d of Mankind was cruel, fierce and severe. He rarely had warmth for his subordinates, much less his enemies. For example, there was a death rule in his church that said that any act of abandoning a comrade-in-arms would result in execution without any warning.
The G.o.d of Light once said that his light came from victory, and that required firm will and resolute execution. Therefore, he would never allow any prevarication, hesitation or retreating. As long as it was his command, it must be carried out in all the way.
As his follower, one must strive to maintain the social order. Civilians should obey officials and officials should obey n.o.bles. n.o.bles should also obey kings and kings should obey the overall situation of human beings. Whenever society needed them, they must obey the order unconditionally whether they were beggars or kings.
The severe and scary order caused the G.o.d of Light to lack followers among the n.o.bles and made his church more powerful and frightening. Those priests and knights who believed in him all had iron will. Although some of them were newbies with weak strength, they never lacked the determination to fight to the end nor the courage to sacrifice themselves.
Perhaps, for them, death was terrible, but going against the doctrine was even more terrible.
The G.o.d of Justice had always opposed this practice. He thought that all people were born equal and everyone’s interests should be respected, especially those that were harmless to others. The weak shouldn’t have to sacrifice, the strong should not oppress and plunder, and they all should respect each other.
Part of this idea came from the old adventurer who had taught the G.o.d of Justice, and the other part came from the thoughts the G.o.d had been pondering over the years. In general, the G.o.d of Justice was quite unsatisfied with the world in which civilians were oppressed and plundered, and he had always thought of changing the world order. Among the enemies he had identified, the G.o.d of Light was in the top three.
He knew that there would be a decisive battle between him and the G.o.d of Light. Only by winning the decisive battle could he have the qualifications to challenge and change the world order, changing it for prosperity and justice.
But, it seemed hard to win.
“Then I will disappear for a while,” the G.o.d of Justice said suddenly. “You can hide in that shelter. It’s quite safe, and I believe you won’t need my protection any more.”
Sui Xiong was stunned and asked, “Where are you going?”
“It’s a secret.” The G.o.d of Justice turned around and his figure gradually faded. “When I show again, I will be much stronger.”
After that, he disappeared without any trace.
“Hmm! I know that you’re going to fight monsters to raise your level…” Sui Xiong muttered. “Why do you pretend to be so mysterious?”
But Sui Xiong was really curious. Where on earth could the G.o.d of Justice find so many high-ranking monsters that would upgrade the level of such a powerful G.o.d?
Hmm, that’s really hard to imagine…
It was also hard for the G.o.d of Sun to imagine. He had intended to use his bottom card to concentrate the power of the whole holy pedigree and whole kingdom on himself. Ordinarily, he was too strong to be imagined. Even if he confronted the great Master of Order, the G.o.d of Sun still had the confidence to win.
But why was he still beaten by the G.o.d of Light without even getting in a counterattack?
“That’s not right!” the huge fireball roared violently. “It should not be like this!”
“What’s wrong?” the G.o.d of Light finally asked. “The strong win and the weak lose. What’s the matter?”
