"...The greater good?"
"I have decided to save this world, Ashura, to achieve a great reversal through righteousness!"
"Saving the world?! A major plot twist?! You're kidding me!!!"
As one of the Eight Gods, Ashura was naturally invited by Deus to go and fulfill that great cause.
Deus was willing to compromise with the God Emperor, so he naturally hoped that Asura could understand him as well.
However, this single-minded person rejected Deus without hesitation because the other party's plan was too cruel and evil.
Not to mention that Deus even wanted to sacrifice his daughter!
"Hehehe."
Deus had anticipated that this guy wouldn't agree with him, and let out a cold laugh, saying:
"I should also bear the weight of your anger and your life!"
As he spoke, he slowly raised his right arm, and black and white lightning burst forth with blinding light. The violent lightning was suddenly hurled by Deus towards Asura.
The devastating blow, imbued with Deus's merciless power, struck Ashura with devastating force.
"Uhhhhhhhh!!!"
Having already expended a great deal of energy on the way here, Ashura had no chance to dodge Deus's divine lightning. He let out a shrill scream when he was struck.
At this moment, Ashura was only clinging to life with a surge of anger and astonishing willpower. The injuries left from his previous battle with Hua Xian, coupled with being struck by Deus's divine lightning, had pushed his body to its limit.
Before long, under Deus's relentless barrage of thunderous attacks, Ashura was once again sent flying.
"Become the cornerstone of the world I have built, Ashura!!!"
Ashura, who was leaning against the edge of the warship, didn't even have the strength to stand up. Deus grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, then channeled the terrifying lightning into Ashura's body through his hand at close range.
Finally, when Ashura had completely lost the ability to resist, Deus raised his other hand and stabbed it hard into Ashura's chest.
Crack!
It wasn't the sound of flesh being torn apart, but rather the ear-piercing sound of machinery being pulverized. Asura, who had been highly assimilated by the power of mantra, had long since transformed into a semi-mechanical being.
Nowadays, the Eight Gods Generals are almost indistinguishable from humans in appearance, but in essence, they are all similar to Ashuras.
At this moment, Deus pierced through Ashura's chest and forcibly pulled out the True Word Furnace that was located at the core of the opponent's chest.
Deus, having taken out the core of the Mantra Power Furnace, released his grip and threw Ashura off the warship.
Ashura's figure slowly fell into the Earth's atmosphere. Seeing this, Misra frantically pounded on the crystal, crying and calling out for her father.
All that remained of her consciousness, besides seeing Deus's hateful face, was the sight of her daughter Misra crying.
Ashura, with a large hole in his chest, stretched out his arm as if trying to grab Misra, and said weakly:
"Don't... cry anymore..."
Its body, spun into a meteor fireball by the friction of the atmosphere, plummeted toward the desolate land beyond, devastated by the awakening of Buridora.
Having lost his wife and then his daughter, even on his deathbed, Ashura's heart was still filled with endless rage.
He roared and howled, his eyes filled with resentment and hatred.
He swore he would definitely get his revenge!!!
"Father!!!"
Inside the transparent crystal, Misra cried out in despair, for her mother had left her today, and her father had also passed away before her very eyes.
What should have been a joyous festival after the suppression of Buridara turned into the most painful and sorrowful day for the young girl.
Olga, finding Misra noisy, reached out and touched the transparent crystal. The sudden emanation of icy energy instantly froze the girl inside, making her look like a statue.
"Skadi."
At this moment, Deus walked up to the silent Skadi, handed her the Eight Extremes Furnace he had taken from Ashura's body, and said in a calm tone:
"From today onwards, you are officially a member of the Eight Gods Generals. Use this power to save the world!"
"what......"
Skadi responded softly. The moment she reached out and touched the Eight Extremes Furnace in Deus's hand, the furnace core immediately transformed into a pure aggregate of mantra energy, flowing into Skadi's body through her fingertips.
At the same time, Skadi also felt the anger belonging to Ashura within this power of mantra.
The eight great true words of the divine kingdom, besides being wielded by the strong, also depend on the degree to which the true word power is compatible.
The power of the Word of Wrath that surged into Skadi's body resonated with the anger that had been lingering deep within her heart.
Deus nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Skadi had no adverse reaction to the power of the mantra.
As expected, Skadi's compatibility with the Mantra of Wrath is no less than Ashura's.
Thinking of Skadi's outstanding performance in yesterday's battle against Bridora, and considering that there are still more than 12,000 years to go, Deus had much more confidence in the success of the Great Reversal Plan.

Chapter Fifty-Two: The So-Called Enlightenment, the So-Called Righteousness, and the True Words of Love
After Buridora was suppressed, the divine kingdom, which was celebrating for only a few days, was met with a shocking piece of bad news.
The God-Emperor Storada, and countless other high-ranking officials of the divine kingdom, died violent deaths, supposedly due to the rebellion of the God-General Asura.
The day after defeating Buridora, Ashura killed the God Emperor and fled. He was killed by countless divine army soldiers who pursued him, and seriously injured Hua Xian, who was also a divine general.
Fortunately, the Divine Army Commander-in-Chief Deus was there. He easily dealt with and killed the crazed Asura rebel, stripping him of his mantra power and divine general position.
Although the God-Emperor Storada had descendants, they were still young and unfit for important positions.
With no successor to the throne, some suggested that Deus temporarily ascend the throne as the God-Emperor and ruler of the divine kingdom.
However, Deus refused without hesitation, stating that the throne of the God-Emperor was only for a descendant of Storada, but that the latter did not yet have the capacity to govern the God Kingdom. Therefore, he, as the commander-in-chief of the God Kingdom's army, would temporarily lead the God Kingdom and preside over its affairs.
Deus did not harm the descendants of the god-emperor Storada. He once said that he was just a warrior and had no ambition for the position of god-emperor.
His only goal and ultimate ideal was to eradicate demons and eliminate Buridara.
After the threat of Bridhara is resolved 12,000 years later, Deus will return the position of God-Emperor to the descendants of Storada.
These words, along with the statement refusal to assume the position of God-Emperor, somewhat reassured many who supported the legitimacy of the God-Emperor and suspected that Deus had secretly staged a coup.
He has no ambition for the position of God-Emperor; he is merely temporarily assuming the responsibilities of the God-Emperor for the next twelve thousand years. Once the descendants of God-Emperor Storada have grown up, he will return the position to them.
This was what Deus himself said to all the people of the divine kingdom, and it was also a promise he made.
Those who have grievances against Deus can only wait and see; if he is lying, they can use that as an excuse to make a fuss.
After all, it's only 12,000 years. This is the time Deus promised, and for the gods who have almost no lifespan limit, it's not actually a very long time.
Moreover, Deus's existence is a reassurance to the divine kingdom. Who in the divine kingdom does not know Deus's contributions to the war against demons?
Twelve thousand years later, they will face the reawakening of the demon slayers, so the entire divine kingdom needs Deus's existence.
Because Ashura was executed after his rebellion, his position became vacant, so Skadi took over as the new god general.
Asura's daughter, Misra, is still young and unaware of her father's rebellion. However, the 'wise and righteous' Miracle Witch is willing to contribute to the Great Reversal Plan of the Divine Kingdom Army to atone for the sins committed by her father.
At the top of the Causal Fortress, Skadi stood tall, overlooking the entire Earth from the pinnacle of divine technology.
The Great Reversal Project has fully commenced, and a continuous stream of True Word Power and Soul Orbs is being collected by the Divine Kingdom's warships.
While filling the Causal Fortress with mantra energy, they also began to construct the form of the Causal Fortress to perfect it.
The Earth is enormous, and two thousand years after the Battle of Buridora, civilization has begun to flourish on Earth.
The divine kingdom will not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, but when civilization on Earth develops to a suitable level, it will send a fleet to harvest souls, and then continue to wait for humanity to reach its peak, repeating the act of harvesting.
Skadi sometimes wonders if, if the divine kingdom truly overcomes the threat of Bridhara, they will become the next oppressors.
Skadi had already noticed the flames of arrogance burning within the divine kingdom from the condescending attitude of Hua Xian, one of the Eight Divine Generals, and some of the divine kingdom's soldiers towards humanity.
History always repeats the same tragedy. If the divine kingdom has truly replaced the demon-slaying and become the new threat, then what is the meaning of these twelve thousand years of sacrifice?
All those sacrificed were human lives and souls; the joys and sorrows between gods and humans were completely different.
The power of truth that can only be generated by the human soul and prayer, and the civilization built upon this power, are destined to become an oppressor.
"What exactly is being saved in this cycle of constant reversal? It has no meaning whatsoever."
Skadi's eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment as she looked not at the eternal cycle of reincarnation, but at the existing cycle of reincarnation in the mortal world.
The future of God's Kingdom and the future of mankind, no matter which path of salvation they take, will ultimately return to the initial terrible starting point and repeat that terrible cycle.
It wasn't that Skadi was condescending, nor was she overly sentimental.
After all, she herself is in a larger cycle of reincarnation, so what right does she have to look down on others who are also in the cycle of reincarnation?
However, when Skadi looks at them, she can also see herself reflected in them.
【Titi, so many people are grieving and in pain...】
Mary, within the body, gazes upon the world through Skadi's eyes, taking in all the joys and sorrows of humanity, while also hearing countless painful and sorrowful prayers.
The number of souls stored in the Fortress of Cause and Effect has exceeded one trillion, and the power of the true words from those souls is filled with both positive and negative emotions.
Of the positive and negative emotions, the negative ones make up a larger proportion.
Those souls were weeping, in pain, wailing, angry, cursing... Skadi and Mary could hear those terrifying and mournful voices of the souls as long as they focused their consciousness.
Skadi arrived at the core of the Causal Fortress, having gained access through the permissions granted by Deus.
Looking up, pale green glowing threads descended, tightly binding Misra's body, restraining her, and rendering her unconscious.
It was a prison, but also a device for transformation.
All the mantra power harvested from the ground will undergo a second forced transformation and amplification by Misra, and then be stored in the Eight Extremes Furnace of the Causal Fortress, to be used in the final battle against Buridora 12,000 years from now.
For Misra, this imprisonment lasting twelve thousand years must have been extremely difficult.
Skadi was able to hear the voices of the souls, and Misra was even able to personally experience the negative emotions of those tormented souls.
The power of human prayers and intentions, which are transformed into words, can be positive or negative.
Positive emotions were fine, but personally transforming and amplifying the negative power of mantras was extremely painful for Misra, making her feel like she was experiencing a nightmare even while asleep.
Those on Earth who die from the demonic invasion, their fear, pain, and sorrow will all pass through Misra's body.
This process, akin to being slowly sliced to death, would last for a full twelve thousand years.
