I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Deus's righteous cause will not only sacrifice the Ashura family, but also countless lives on Earth.

The Asura family will be torn apart, but how many families have fallen apart in the past?

Moreover... in Deus's Great Reversal Plan, the future of Earth will see the Divine Realm transform into a more cruel and terrifying demon than any demon-slaying demon, stealing their souls.

However, this kind of sacrifice, in the eternal cycle of ending and beginning, is also an inescapable hell.

Sympathy and hesitation had long been eroded by Skadi's sense of acquaintance.

Therefore, she felt only melancholy.

The two entered the palace and were greeted by the image of the god-king Storada on his throne, and the divine guards standing on either side of him.

When the God-Emperor saw Skadi arrive, his gaze was still somewhat amiable, but upon seeing Deus, he immediately frowned and spoke in an unpleasant tone:

"I only summoned Skadi, Deus, why are you here!?"

Emperor Storada was initially in high spirits after defeating and suppressing Bridhara, as it signified the stability of his position as emperor.

While summoning Skadi to reward her, he also hoped to secretly win over this candidate for God General who was detached from the Eight God Generals to his side.

If Skadi insists on siding with Deus's faction, then he must ruthlessly use his position as God-Emperor to order Skadi to challenge Deus.

Disobeying the God-Emperor's orders is treason. At the same time, Skadi and Deus start a war to become the God-General. The death of either of them would benefit the God-Emperor Storada.

He'd had enough of Deus; Deus's underhanded tactics within the Divine Kingdom army were pushing his limits.

The arrival of Deus and Skadi completely disrupted the plans of the god-king Storada.

What is he doing here again, continuing to discuss that extreme and evil Great Reversal Plan with him?

"In order to accomplish the great cause, remove the obstacles on my path of great reversal."

Deus's eyes, devoid of any emotion, calmly and indifferently gazed at the God-Emperor Storada on the throne before him.

Remove the obstacles!?

“Deus, you......”

Hearing Deus's emotionless tone, Emperor Storada sensed something was wrong. Glancing at Skadi wearing the golden mask, he immediately panicked and said:

"You two...do you want to rebel?! Guards! Seize them!!!"

The God-Emperor Storada loudly called out to the divine guards beside him, while secretly using the power of mantras to summon the soldiers patrolling the temple.

However, despite the God Emperor's loud shouts and the power of his words, the entire divine palace remained completely still.

Even the soldiers of the divine army standing on either side of the God Emperor remained expressionless, showing no reaction whatsoever to the God Emperor's orders.

Sizzle—!

Suddenly, a thunderous sound rang out within the divine palace, followed by a flash of lightning that disappeared in the horrified eyes of the divine emperor Storada.

puff!

Only the God-Emperor himself heard the sound of flesh being pierced, since it was his own body that had been pierced.

Strada stiffly lowered his head and saw a lightning spear formed from the power of Words pierce through his heart, while the other end of the lightning spear continued to erupt from Skadi's raised right hand.

This is the Power Thunder of Truth that Skadi learned from Deus; the jet-black lightning is extremely powerful.

Now, this very tactic is being used to kill the God Emperor.

"No need for commendation, Your Majesty. Take care."

The lightning spear piercing through the chest of the God Emperor Storada slowly retracted. After arriving here, Skadi sensed the God Emperor's ill intentions.

As for this inactive, politically manipulative emperor, let's just send him to his death.

Despite this outrageous rebellion, the Divine Army guards standing on both sides remained oblivious, standing there as still as stone statues.

"Uh... De... Us... Ska... You, you guys..."

The Thunder Spear was withdrawn, and the God-Emperor Storada, with a large hole in his chest, seemed to have all his strength drained away. He tried to stop the blood from gushing from the huge wound, and with unwilling and resentful eyes, he fell to the ground, looking up at Deus and Skadi in front of him.

“Your Majesty, inactive politicians are no longer suitable to lead the divine kingdom. What it needs is a savior, and I have made up my mind to save the world.”

Looking down at the diminutive old man lying on the ground, Deus's eyes were calm and indifferent, and his tone was flat yet resolute as he spoke.

"You, you...Skater...Why...cough...why are you helping...him...Don't you...know...him...?"

Upon hearing Deus's words, the God-Emperor understood why.

But as he lay dying, he looked at Skadi, who had killed him, with a bewildered and confused expression, and wanted to speak up and expose Deus's true righteousness.

Why, why are you helping that guy Deus?

The God Emperor's heart was filled with disbelief and confusion.

The fact that Skadi was once human was not a secret to the God-Emperor or even the entire God Kingdom, and he didn't care much about it at the time.

It wasn't until Skadi displayed astonishing potential that the God-Emperor Storada noticed her and began to take her seriously.

At this moment, he couldn't understand why Skadi was helping Deus.

To know the true nature of his noble cause and his grand plan of reversal is to humanity a calamity far more malevolent than subduing demons.

The reason why the God-Emperor Storada dared to win over Skadi was precisely because of this.

In his view, if Skadi knew about Deus's Grand Turnaround plan, she would definitely oppose it and side with him.

But if he were to kill him now, would it be because he was deceived by Deus?

"I know."

"Varied....."

“I said I knew Deus’s great cause and the truth about his Great Turnaround Plan.”

Meeting the wide-eyed, incredulous gaze of Storada sprawled on the ground, Skadi, her expression calm beneath the golden mask, slowly removed her mask and looked indifferently at the old woman. She said:

"Do you think I'll turn against Deus just because I know about his plan? What you can foresee, Deus can't foresee? If you're going to talk about the cruelty of the Great Reversal Plan to humanity and the enormous number of people who will be sacrificed... then what does that amount to compared to the harm caused by the Demon Extermination Project over the past millions of years? Using the pain of twelve thousand years of reincarnation to end eternal suffering is, in any case, the most correct choice."

After all, as the saying goes, a short pain is worse than a long one.

This is the choice Deus made, this is how he viewed the world, and this is how he wanted to save it.

Skadi also felt there was nothing wrong with it; from Deus's leadership position, it was indeed the most correct judgment and choice.

The divine kingdom possesses immense power and is capable of enjoying peace and tranquility for most of the next twelve thousand years.

But what about humans on earth? Even with the protection of God's kingdom, they still cannot achieve everything.

Every twelve thousand years, humanity nearly goes extinct, only to live in fear and anxiety in the next cycle.

The horrors and tragedies of pain and tragedy continue to unfold on Earth, repeating the same cycle.

Deus's cruel choice to save the world was undoubtedly cruel and malicious to life on Earth in this cycle.

But if he could defeat Bridora and gain lasting peace, Deus would not mind bearing the infamy, or even being called an evil god, a demon god, or a devil.

It doesn't matter if it's not about justice, as long as it can achieve the greater good and save the world.

It was precisely because of this belief and awareness that Skadi was willing to help Deus, wanting to see what kind of changes he would bring to the world.

"You...you guys..."

Seeing Skadi's calm and composed attitude, the God Emperor realized that Deus was not the only one who had come to his senses. He wanted to say something more, but the rapid passing of life to zero meant that he could only die in front of the two of them with resentment and unwillingness.

“You and Deus both stand at a high place, but the views you see are worlds apart. You gaze upon the peace of the divine kingdom, while he stares at the crisis of the world.”

Looking at the lowly old man's body lying dead on the ground, Skadi reached out and grabbed him from a distance, then wiped away the bloodstains and temporarily repaired the large hole in the body.

Deus also looked at the Emperor's corpse, his face showing no particular expression.

Just as Skadi said, they were both in high positions, but they saw different views.

A person who gazes at peace and a person who stares at crisis can never walk together.

Deus harbored no animosity towards this inactive and self-preserving god-emperor.

Previously, I had compromised in order to avoid depleting the power of the divine kingdom internally, and I also did not want to dirty my hands as a warrior.

However, now that he has made up his mind, nothing else matters to him anymore; he will no longer compromise with the God Emperor.

From now on, he will reorganize the divine kingdom and turn it completely into his own personal domain, Deus's.

It's not about power, but about pooling all our strength to save this wretched world.

"Alright, the disguise is complete."

Using the power of the magnetic field, the god-emperor Storada was positioned with his back to the steps, and he was given a trace of life in his old age, so that he still looked like a living person no matter how you looked at him.

Deus looked at it and nodded, indeed unable to see any flaws.

Even if you get close, you will never know that the God Emperor is dead unless you look at his face.

"Ha, is it over already? The whole palace is filled with an unpleasant atmosphere."

"I thought I could make it in time, but it seems you're already impatient, Deus."

Just then, two voices came from behind Skadi and Deus.

Ocas crossed his arms, his face full of displeasure, after all, what was about to happen was not friendly to his apprentice.

Beside him, the cassette rested on his pulley-equipped cane. He stroked his goatee and chuckled as he looked at the God Emperor, who stood on the steps with his back to them.

Deus was not surprised by the arrival of these two people. He glanced at them sideways and asked in a serious tone:

"How's it going for you two on your end?"

"Those annoying guys who only know how to talk will be history after tonight, Deus... Can't you seal Ashura away? His power..."

Ocas looked impatient and said that he had finished the task that Deus had asked him to do. Then he looked at Deus with a serious expression, wanting to put in a good word for his apprentice.

His apprentice, if he was to die, should die honorably at his hands.

To die in such a way, through a conspiracy, was certainly not a pleasant experience for Ocas, a warrior.

"A seal? You think a seal can suppress him?"

Deus scoffed at this, finding Oukas's words utterly ridiculous. He said, "Besides, who will watch over it after it's sealed? You? It's a waste of the power of two divine generals. You might as well just give one up."

Asura is too unstable. If what Okas said is true, and we don't kill this guy and suppress him, then someone will need to keep an eye on him, and that person must be a god general.

In that case, the power of the two divine generals would be unusable, so it would be more direct to just kill Asura.

“Once a decision has been made, there’s no need to hesitate any longer. Sergei has already taken action. We should go, Deus.”
