Chapter 457 (2/2)
“Hasarin, what a pity. I thought that after Dyalt (the God of Fear) died, I would try to conquer her.”
“She’s a dog of someone else’s. Why do you target her? Even if you conquer her with force, she won’t treat you like her original owner. You’d better train one by yourself.”
“That is also true. When she’s dead, the corresponding priesthood will be vacant. I have some good assassins, and I can ask them to have a try.”
Those were naturally said by the evil gods.
Compared to the discussions of the gods, the face of the God of Fear had been calm and sorrowful, but now he became energetic again. He stood up and looked back at the God of Shadow and Assassination, sighing deeply.
“You shouldn’t have come here.”
“I should have!”
The God of Fear said, smiling sarcastically, “If you come here, you will die, and you can do nothing but die.”
“I should have followed you. Wouldn’t it be better if I could do something?” the God of Shadow and Assassination said with excitement. “Even if we both die here today, at least I will prevent them from insulting you with such a ridiculous trick of a ‘trial!'”
“Naive! Do you think this is a reasonable place?” the God of Fear said. He shook his head and sat down again. “Stupid child, you will soon understand that…”
As the accused one of this trial, he thought more deeply than others. He had already seen through the true purpose of this trial.
In fact, dealing with him was just their secondary goal. The Void Mask and his group wanted to use this opportunity to establish their authority!
In order to achieve this goal, even if the accusations couldn’t be established, they still would verify his crimes.
What’s more, many accusations were really able to be established.
Hasarin’s idea was good, but it was actually useless. The God of Law could explain any law as he wanted!
The God of Fear didn’t say these words, because he felt that it was meaningless to say this. He would just be refuted and humiliated again.
As the leader of the evil gods, even if he had reached the end of his life, he would maintain his reputation.
Now, this was all he could do.
In the face of the question of the God of Shadow and Assassination, the God of Law was silent, but Sui Xiong couldn’t help but smile.
After the arguments of the gods stopped for a while, Sui Xiong said, “Your question does make sense. In the past years, there were no laws about gods, and no laws could be used to sanction gods. But those were things in the past.” As he said that, with a golden light in his hand, a book that contained infinite Divine Power appeared.
“This is the Code of Gods. It has been reviewed and approved by the Master of Order, and it has been engraved into the order of this world.”
After saying that, Sui Xiong poured his Divine Power into that golden book. The book slowly rose into the air, and a heart-shattering majesty revealed from it, and that was the Divine Power of the Master of Order.
Along with the Divine Power of the Master of Order, there was a law that was not complicated or even a little simple.
The core spirit of this law lay in an old saying, “do as the Romans do.” This law deprived gods of their supreme identities. It declared that since gods were also a part of the rules of the world, then they should follow the rules. When gods arrived at a certain place, they should respect and follow the law of that place. Of course, they could ignore the laws with their powerful force. However, if they were caught because of their crimes, they would be judged according to the law of that place.
Another important point in this law was the unlimited retrospective rights. No matter where and when the crimes happened, as long as they happened in this world, no matter how long ago they had happened, they could be traced and judged according to this law without any exception.
In other words, from now on, there were laws about gods in the world—unless, of course, the gods could capture their enemy gods like Sui Xiong, or it was easier to kill the enemies than to judge them according to the laws.
This law was still in a mere form, but its establishment had immeasurable significance.
For example, when Sui Xiong demonstrated this law, the power of the God of Law was constantly improving. In the end, he broke through the limits of mid-level Divine Power and entered the realm of a great Divine Power.
He broke through the last limitation of “there are no laws about gods,” and laws were finally fully established in this world!
