Chapter 118 – 135. Aren't You Just Bullying an Honest God?
Qian Hanyu questioned sharply, "None of the gods here are fools. The Killing God Domain on Tang Hao is not the same as the one you bestow by default. Whenever he encounters danger, you can channel divine power through that domain and forcibly strengthen him."
"Asura God, let me ask you—what is Tang Hao to you? What makes him worth such support? Is Tang Hao your chosen successor to the Asura God throne?" Qian Hanyu pressed.
The Asura God's face turned pale. Qian Hanyu's question was a trap. By the rules of the Divine Realm, a god is allowed to channel divine power to their chosen inheritor, providing limited aid in moments of crisis. He could claim Tang Hao as his successor, and then granting help at critical times would seem reasonable.
But given Tang Hao's actions—what part of them would the gods approve of? For a woman, he maimed his brother, slaughtered comrades, and even killed his own father.
If he admitted such a man was his inheritor, wouldn't that mean the Asura God had no eye for character?
He could tell the truth—that Tang San was his actual choice, and Tang Hao merely the protector. But right now Tang San's soul was in the process of merging with the Douluo Continent itself. If any god focused closely on that "precious child," they might notice something wrong and eventually discover that the boy came from another world.
If that were pursued, the consequences would be even worse than admitting he had chosen Tang Hao—it would prove he knowingly broke the law.
"You have nothing to say, do you?" Qian Hanyu turned to the assembly. "Behold, this is our so‑called law enforcement god of the Divine Realm. A so‑called enforcer who knows the law and breaks it, who freely interferes with the lower realm and supports an evil man in slaughtering the innocent. Where is the heavenly order in that? Where is justice?"
The gods remained silent.
"Why won't you speak?" Qian Hanyu shouted. "If the Asura God acts like this, today he schemes against me. Tomorrow he may scheme against any of you."
They knew Qian Hanyu's words were true, and his logic sound. But so what? Asura was one of the six Divine Kings. Was it worth offending him for the sake of the Angel God?
Still, after this, the Asura God's image lay in ruins.
The Asura God drew the Shura Demon Sword and pointed it at the Angel God. "Enough!" he roared. "Angel God, your repeated slander of this seat has gone far enough. Do not mistake my tolerance for license. Look well at this Shura Demon Sword, which has judged countless sins. Now, repeat yourself before this sword—are those scenes you showed the gods something you fabricated?"
That super artifact, soaked in blood and slaughter, aimed directly at Qian Hanyu. Yet facing the Asura God's threat, the Angel God stood tall and replied, "Even if you make me repeat it, I will. You, Asura God, the dignified law enforcement god, have knowingly broken the law, interfered with the lower realm, and supported a sinner who slaughters the innocent. If you wish to judge me for speaking the truth, then do it. Even if I die, I will demand justice for my descendants."
"You—!" Asura's rage flared. The Shura Demon Sword's oppressive might surged toward Qian Hanyu—but in the next instant, that overwhelming pressure vanished.
A divine spear rested against the Asura God's throat. He looked down and recognized it: the Eternal Forbidden Spear, super artifact of the Eternal God.
"Eternal God, so you finally step forward," the Asura God said, sweat beading on his forehead. "This setup today—was it yours?"
Huo Yuhao chuckled softly and shook his head. "The Angel God and I have never had dealings. What scheme are you talking about? The only reason I stopped you is that your behavior has become… unsightly."
He gestured toward the holy relief carved into the back of the divine hall and rebuked, "Asura God, what place is this? This is the Divine Realm Council—a sacred and solemn chamber. Your every move here embodies its authority. You threaten the Angel God in this hall—does that not trample on the dignity of the Divine Realm meeting?"
"Or do you think that just because you're a Divine King, you can ignore—and even trample—the rules themselves? You think too little of the rest of us five Divine Kings. You have a super artifact—do you think we don't?"
Without giving the Asura God any chance to defend himself, Huo Yuhao pressed on like a barrage of arrows. Pointing at Qian Hanyu, he continued, "The Angel God established Spirit Hall, suppressed evil soul masters, and helped awaken martial spirits for generations of commoners on the Douluo Continent. Through that, she gathered faith and ascended, opening the first‑level Angel God position in the Divine Realm. In the eras she guarded, the angel bloodline held back evil forces and evil soul masters, granting the Douluo Continent a long‑lasting order. For thousands of years, the common people were spared from evil soul masters' atrocities. In every sense, the Angel clan has great merit toward Douluo Continent."
"Now look at the… thing… you chose to support."
He replayed the Angel God's projection for all to see, this time from a Divine King's perspective. Every detail was crystal clear—the Asura God's small interventions, the moments when Tang Hao was nearly finished, only for the Asura's power to flow into him. Tang Hao would instantly revive like a man injected with chicken blood. The Ring Detonation technique, which should have left users crippled for days after a single use, was something Tang Hao could spam endlessly without consequence.
"Everyone here, take a good look," Huo Yuhao said. "Tang Hao is a beast who, for the sake of a woman, maimed his comrades, hurt his brother, and killed his own father. His morality is bankrupt, his conscience gone, his humanity destroyed. And you, Asura God—dignified law enforcement god—who ought to define and guard the rules, chose to help such a beast commit mass slaughter. Tang Hao is a sinner—but you, the law enforcer, are his accomplice."
"With your help, this animal oppressed and crushed the Angel clan, whose contributions to the Douluo Continent are beyond question—"
"Aren't you just bullying an honest god?" Huo Yuhao's final question rang out like a strike to the soul.
"You—" The Asura God's face grew ever paler, but he had no answer.
"I, Huo Yuhao, usually do not involve myself in the decisions of this council," he went on. "I left them to the five of you. But what happened today is truly intolerable. When the law enforcement god himself breaks the law, what 'heavenly order' is left? What law remains?"
"Today, the Angel God is bullied, and no one speaks for her. Tomorrow, when the Asura God breaks the law to bully you, what then? Tell me—what meaning do these rules have, if we accept that? I stand here today for justice, and for fairness."
