“This is the G.o.d of Berries and Gra.s.s, a rambler in the Fresh-Spring Mountain. She brings berries and fresh gra.s.s to all good creatures and likes to sing in the spring breeze.”
“I’ve been looking forward to seeing you!” Sui Xiong said.
“You don’t have to be so polite.” This G.o.d of weak Divine Power smiled and pa.s.sed a basket of fresh berries with dew on them to Sui Xiong. “Maybe you know who I am, but I really don’t believe that you’ve been looking forward to seeing me.”
Sui Xiong took over the basket and laughed embarra.s.sedly.
She was right. Sui Xiong was trying to be polite just now. Actually, he just had a vague impression of the G.o.d of Berries and Gra.s.s. He only knew that she was a friend or a subordinate of the G.o.ddess of Spring Water, and that was all.
The congratulations of the good G.o.ds had almost come to an end, and now it turned for those G.o.ds of weak Divine Power. These G.o.ds were poor both in popularity and strength. Many of them did not even have formal churches or shrines, and they barely maintained their belief among people through several altars guarded by some clergymen.
Naturally, they couldn’t bring any decent gifts. For example, the G.o.d of Berries and Gra.s.s gave Sui Xiong a basket of berries blessed with Divine Power. If these berries were given to the mortals, they could probably help strengthen their body, but couldn’t even prolong their life. Compared with the gifts from the first few G.o.ds, there was really a huge difference between them.
But Sui Xiong didn’t mean to underestimate them at all. It was a pleasure to have visitors coming from afar! No matter what they gave to Sui Xiong, something precious or not, they were all sincere. Not to mention that these G.o.ds had traveled a long way to be here and presented good gifts to Sui Xiong. Even if they just picked a flower as a gift or said a few words of congratulations without any gifts, Sui Xiong would still be very happy.
Today was a happy day!
The last good G.o.d just finished his congratulation and turned into a light and left. When Sui Xiong was about to address the mortals of the Void City as well as thank the G.o.ds, Yorgaardman came over through the rainbow bridge that had not disappeared yet in a flash of light.
“Congratulations!” he said.
Sui Xiong felt that was interesting. “My brother, what are you doing? Why do you congratulate me? We were in the fight together.”
“That’s not what I’m talking about.” Yorgaardman laughed and took out a package that Sui Xiong felt familiar with and unfolded it on the ground.
Inside it was a black armored soldier who was tied up tightly with the golden light that looked like a rope. He had been beaten black and blue but was still struggling desperately.
“Is this the G.o.d of Fear?!” Sui Xiong was surprised, and the G.o.ds beside him could not help but exclaim as well.
“This fellow was smart. He tried to escape from the underworld to h.e.l.l and then to the abyss,” Yorgaardman smiled and said. “To be honest, I really didn’t expect that, so I lost him on the way. However, he did too many bad things before and was doomed to die at our hands. While in h.e.l.l, he ran into a newly promoted h.e.l.l Baron on patrol. The young h.e.l.l Baron recognized him at a glance, so he sent out a signal for help and led his patrol to stop him. Soon, all the barons nearby came to support him, and later two marquises arrived with a large number of soldiers. The G.o.d of Fear fought hard for a long time but could not escape. I got the news from a follower of mine that was also a baron in h.e.l.l and rushed to catch him.”
Sui Xiong couldn’t help laughing. “He deserves it!”
“Yes, he deserves it!” Yorgaardman nodded and laughed. “I wanted to kill him on the spot. But I looked at the time and found that there were just good G.o.ds coming to congratulate you. I thought about it for a moment and realized that I was also one of the good G.o.ds. Thus, it’s ok for me to join them, isn’t it? So I just brought him here as a gift to you.”
Sui Xiong then understood the whole thing. He looked at the G.o.d of Fear who was lying on the ground still struggling, frowned in disgust and asked, “What are you going to do with him?”
“It’s up to you,” Yorgaardman shrugged his shoulders and said with ease. “You were the one bullied by him before, so you have the right to punish him. Of course, it is up to you to make this decision.”
Sui Xiong looked at the G.o.d of Fear coldly. This old leader of the Alliance of Evil G.o.ds, the Master G.o.d of Fear G.o.d System and the most horrible existence in evil G.o.ds was in the most embarra.s.sing condition now. He apparently didn’t give up his life and was struggling hard to escape from the rope that was made of Yorgaardman’s Divine Power, but everyone could see that there was no chance for him at all.
According to Sui Xiong’s character, at this moment, he should directly make a 40 meters long knife by magic and severely stab this evil G.o.d several times, so as to turn a joke he had seen on the Internet into reality. But when he thought about it again, he changed his mind.
“This guy has a lot of enemies, doesn’t he?” he asked.
“Of course,” Yorgaardman replied. “Even a gentle, kind and non-aggressive man like me was offended by him!”
Sui Xiong felt funny about his brother’s reply and looked at Javier.
Javier paused for a moment, thought about it carefully, and said seriously, “Yes, the good G.o.ds almost hate him. There were even several that had been killed by him.”
Sui Xiong clapped his tentacles. “Good! Then I have an idea! Let’s have a public hearing.”
“A public hearing?” Sui Xiong’s friends were all confused. They looked at each other because they didn’t know what that was.
“When the good G.o.ds came to congratulate me just now, I kept thinking about how to pay them back. I would like to hold a public hearing and invite them all to sentence him and decide the punishment. That would be great!” Sui Xiong said as his eyes gradually turned bright.
After hearing that, others felt surprised at first. But on second thought, they found that Sui Xiong’s idea was very reasonable.
To pay the good G.o.ds back, would there be anything more pleasing to them than joining the trial of the evil G.o.d of Fear?
For the G.o.d of Fear, the best way to wipe out his remaining influence was to have a public hearing, so that everyone could see the so-called leader of evil G.o.ds was not invincible. In this way, who else would be afraid of this evil G.o.d that had been arrested, sentenced and punished publicly in the future?
“That’s really a good idea!” Morani laughed loudly. “I agree!”
“Yes! That’s a great idea!” Ariel nodded. “It can eradicate his belief among humans completely. It will also make sure that even if someone succeeds to the clergy of fear in the future, it won’t give this evil G.o.d any chance of resurrection.”
“However, I feel it’s a bit tragic for such a respected great Divine Power as well as a master G.o.d to end up like this. He will be sent to a public trial and be criticized by the ones who had been n.o.bodies in his eyes.” The G.o.ddess of Wealth, Manissy sighed.
“He deserves it!” the patron saint of Monochrome Bearman, the Silent Knight, Ink, said suddenly.
After the discussion, the matter was settled. Then Sui Xiong sent invitations to all the G.o.ds to invite them to a place near the Main Plane. He was busy with the settings of the public hearing venue with his friends to make sure that everyone could judge the G.o.d of Fear together.
Augmentin looked at that in silence. Besides the sadness and fear of the coming death for a great Divine Power, there was also a special feeling in his heart.
It was the same feeling as meeting His Majesty, Wenner and following him to the war, defeating the enemy and winning the fight at last.
It was a feeling of excitement, happiness, and enthusiasm.
On the Void Mask, he saw a similar light to His Majesty’s, but it was clearer and brighter than that of His Majesty as well.
This jellyfish could not only defeat the enemy but also spread the light of victory to others. As long as one followed him, one would surely have a brilliant future!
He couldn’t help laugh at that thought.
Your Majesty, Wenner, you deserve to be my monarch! I have to look at these things by myself, and then I can understand it, but you’ve already known everything before!
He did not hesitate to come over to Sui Xiong when he understood that.
“Your Majesty, I’d like to say something now.”
Sui Xiong, considering how to decorate the venue, turned to him and said, “What’s that? You can’t plead for this guy. I’m serious. This guy is dead this time. We are just waiting to choose a way of death for him.”
“No, I want to say something else,” Augmentin smiled and said. “It’s much more important than the death of the G.o.d of Fear.”
At this time, not only Sui Xiong was shocked but also his friends. Even the powerful good G.o.ds who had just received the news and came here were shocked, too.
What else in the world would be much more important than the death of a great Divine Power?
Under the gaze of the others, Augmentin took another step forward and knelt down on one knee in front of Sui Xiong. Then he untied the sword that the G.o.d of War handed to him before departure, and held it high.
“Your majesty, the great Void Mask, your bravery and spirit of justice are highly admired by our War G.o.d System. From today on, we are willing to obey your orders, accept your leaders.h.i.+p and regard you as our leader. This is the sword of His Majesty, the G.o.d of War. Please accept it as proof of our obedience to you.”
Sui Xiong was shocked again, so were his friends and the good G.o.ds who came to attend the public hearing.
The whole Pantheon temple was silent at the moment.
No one could have expected that after being defeated by the Void Mask in the war, the War G.o.d System would be obedient to him and decide to regard him as their leader.
But no one would take it as Augmentin’s personal decision since the sword he was holding high was proof. That was from Wenner, the G.o.d of War. It was more of a ceremonial prop than a weapon to Wenner, and he loved it a lot and always took it with him.
This sword had been presented to Sui Xiong! The War G.o.d System was really determined!
Sui Xiong hesitated for a while and looked around at the others. Finally, his eyes fell on Augmentin.
Then he laughed and took over the sword.
“Rest a.s.sured, I will not let you down!”
