Chapter 222 (1/2)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The scene where the Silent Knight waved his sword and chopped off his arm was seen by every God that was paying attention to the battlefield. Many Gods were terrified and noted to themselves that they would never fight against the bunch of insane people from the Desolation God system!
Although Gods possessed the ability to restore broken limbs, the pain was substantial. Even Gods from the battle league wouldn’t be willing to endure such pain. Many Gods from non-battle leagues grew pale looking at the wretched sight.
The Silent Knight Himself couldn’t help but let out tragic roars from His throat. But His job had yet to end. He destroyed the broken arm using godly power in order to prevent it getting into His enemies’ hands and becoming a tool to curse Him. The pain was far worse than when it was broken. He was as pale as a piece of paper; even his dark eye circles grew grey.
To a God, even if His body broke apart, He wouldn’t die immediately. That right arm that was chopped off actually maintained clear consciousness. Hence, He felt the damage towards it. Although wouldn’t damage the Silent Knight’s original body, the pain would still be transmitted to Him.
In simpler terms, it equalled to Him destroying a part of his body.
And, it wasn’t destroyed in an instance, or flattened, or something of that sort, but was gradually demolished from inside out.
Such pain was unbearable, even to the bearman who was brave and tough!
There were countless beads of cold sweat forming on the face and body of the huge bearman. It almost converged into small rivers and wet His smooth hair completely, as though he were dredged up from the water.
Looking at the sight, a God sitting on the third row in the Pantheon Temple couldn’t help but complement. “Such extraordinary courage and endurance! If the Desolation God system lost the battle, I would step in to protect Him!”
Then, He looked over to the God of War seated in the second row.
The God of War creased his eyebrows. With His character, He preferred to eradicate the source of trouble, especially the few Gods that were on friendly terms with the Desolation God system. If He didn’t fully root for them, they would definitely turn into hidden dangers.
But… The will of God of Pain was something he couldn’t disrespect.
The God of Pain was a strange God. He was the display of all pain in the world. From the viewpoint of His clergy, He should have been considered wicked. However, His religious teachings encouraged people to face pain, endure pain, and grow with the experience of pain. Hence, He influenced His clergy using such beliefs and pushed Himself into the kind camp.
Under His command, there was God of Punishment that carried the religious teaching of applying appropriate punishment to lead people back to kindness;” the Maiden of Pain that practiced the religious teaching of embracing pain; and the God of Healing that believed in helping people to receive less pain. The three Gods and their eldest were simply carved out from the same mold. They didn’t treat pain as anything. They could always exercise their terrifying power during battle. Even the God of War wouldn’t be willing to have head-on collisions with them.
But… He was not willing to just let the bear go!
Just when He was deep in his thoughts, the God of Justice smiled coldly.
“Hey! Victory and defeat have yet to be called. Are you in hurry to carve up the spoils of war?”
All the Gods looked towards Him, not understanding what He meant.
The situation then was clear. The War God system was really the most fightable one among all God systems. They sent out the God of Battle, and He had checked the battle power of almost half of the Desolation God system. With another few Gods, the Desolation God system would almost be expelled.
…That’s not right. That “Desolation God system” was a small, poorly equipped group in name only. To describe it on Earth, one would say it was like a shelf company that rented an apartment as an office and prepared to run away any time. What sort of expelling would it be!
“You going to interfere?” the God of War looked at the God of Justice, unwilling to be outdone. “You could try to see if you can break through my obstruction before the Desolation God system is destroyed.”
The God of Justice smiled coldly. “I? If you don’t take action, I won’t. Battling at such level? Strong Gods like us shouldn’t get involved.”
“Oh? Won’t you interfere? Do you think that the Orc Gods will?”
“Don’t drag me in!” the main God of Orc God system Lefron said in distress. “If Steel Lion were to seek refuge from me, I would take Him in and protect Him. But if He can’t barge out from the encirclement, I won’t take any action.”
The God of War laughed happily.
