"This waste, he really should have just died this time, and then we could select another Destruction God!"
The Life Goddess said angrily.
The Asura God sighed, "It's fine. Since the Dragon Pillar is so precious, it shows that our sincerity is sufficient. If Lin Yi is satisfied, perhaps our relationship with him can even get closer."
Evil nodded, "Yes, and the Dragon Pillar can only be wielded by the Dragon God. In the Divine Realm, it's nothing but a display piece. It's better to do someone a favor and give it to Lin Yi."
The Life Goddess nodded.
She looked back in Lin Yi's direction and spoke respectfully, "Senior Lin Yi, we offer the Super Divine Artifact, the Dragon Pillar, as compensation. How about that?"
Gu Yuena by the side was almost going crazy with excitement.
The Dragon Pillar! The Dragon God's thing!
Her big eyes shone as she looked at Lin Yi, her entire face expressing "agree to her, quickly."
Lin Yi did not pay attention but said indifferently, "It's not enough."
He sneered, "This thing only exchanges for Destruction's life, but I still hate him. Now what should we do?"
The three gods outside exchanged glances, their expressions suddenly filled with difficulty.
The Asura God frowned; Lin Yi was really hard to serve. Now, Destruction's fate was still uncertain, wasn't the punishment enough?
Just then, Lin Yi's voice suddenly came from inside the hut again.
"To be honest, I can't think of a way to punish him for now. Why don't we ask Gu Yuena? Na'er, what's your opinion?"
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Gu Yuena opened her eyes wide in surprise. She pointed at herself, as if to ask, "Do I really get a say in this?"
Lin Yi smiled, closed his eyes, and nodded slightly, looking very indulgent.
Gu Yuena smiled happily.
She thought for a while, opened Lin Yi's room door, and then walked out.
No sooner had she stepped outside, she was back to her cool and aloof demeanor, as if the jubilant person just now in the room wasn't her at all.
The three gods of Asura frowned; Lin Yi was doing this on purpose, right?!
Everyone knew that Gu Yuena had a deep hatred with the gods. Letting her think of a punishment, not to mention the Destruction God, wouldn't she want to wreak havoc on the entire Divine Realm to death?
Evil looked at Gu Yuena walking towards them and said awkwardly, "Sister Nana looks really pretty today. Please be merciful with your words, ha~"
Gu Yuena gave him a lofty glance and ignored him.
She walked past the three gods and headed straight for the Destruction God's location.
She wanted to see if the bastard was dead yet, and if not, she'd deliver another blow! Who told him to insult Lin Yi, to overestimate his own abilities and fail to recognize good from bad, he deserved to die!
But upon arriving underneath the broken Angel Goddess statue, Gu Yuena paused.
Destruction was not dead, but he truly looked quite miserable.
The Staff of Destruction was broken into three pieces, lying quietly on the side, while the Destruction God himself was charred all over, his skin cracked, and his body severely deformed, no longer resembling his former appearance at all.
He's got quite the life to not die from this... but indeed, it looks a lot more miserable than expected.
Gu Yuena clicked her tongue twice, feeling a bit of pity, and after some thought, she decided not to deliver the extra blow.
At this moment, she glanced at the Life Goddess, then at the Destruction God, and with a subtle uplift of her mouth's corners, she said, "The punishment, oh, is quite simple; the Life Goddess should divorce him. You two should sever your marital relationship."
Evil: "Ah?"
Asura God: "What?!"
Wasn't that punishment for the Destruction God a bit too harsh?
In the Divine Realm, who didn't know that Destruction God was crazy for everyone but was utterly compliant and protective towards the Life Goddess? His love for the Life Goddess was truly deep-seated.
Perhaps it was Gu Yuena's piercing insight that detected this, which is why she thought of this punishment.
However, the next moment, the Life Goddess raised her head and looked over, "Good, I agree."
Evil God looked over in surprise, "Wait, Sister Life, think this through! Are you sure you really agree?"
The Life Goddess nodded her head and murmured, "I have always felt that my existence suppresses his true nature, hehe, he is a madman by nature. Consider this me finally returning his freedom completely."
It was also a release for herself, the Life Goddess did not want to keep paying for Destruction's madness. She was truly tired.
She agreed so easily, it was somewhat displeasing... Gu Yuena frowned.
She glanced toward the direction of the wooden house, snorted, and walked back, shutting the door behind her with the ease of returning to her own home.
Lin Yi stared at Gu Yuena, who had made herself comfortable beside him after entering the house, for a long while, until Gu Yuena felt uncomfortable all over and complained before sitting on the ground. Only then did Lin Yi turn his gaze outside.
What status, what standing, to dare sit side by side with me?
Lin Yi, "Then we shall do as Gu Yuena suggests."
Life Goddess, "Yes."
The Asura God sighed and said to Evil, "You go check on how Destruction is doing, I'll go get the Dragon Pillar."
Evil, "Okay."
He immediately ran to where Destruction lay flat and was so shocked his eyes widened.
The Evil God couldn't help but look back at Godzilla, and the shock in his heart escalated a level as he gazed at the terrifying giant in the night. Where exactly did that thing come from?
"Sister Life, I suggest you hurry up and heal Destruction, I think he's about to breathe his last."
Life Goddess heard this and walked over.
Before long, the Asura God came back to the place with something strange in his hands.
The Dragon Pillar resembled the Golden Cudgel, entirely gold in color, just a golden staff. The Asura God held the Dragon Pillar with two colorful scales.
The true height of the Dragon Pillar was twenty-five thousand kilometers, and it could not be wielded by anyone other than the Dragon God. The Asura God had no way of picking it up; he could only slightly control its size with the two scales shed by the Dragon God.
He walked towards the wooden house, carrying the Dragon Pillar, when suddenly, the Dragon Pillar violently trembled, its tip rotating and pointing towards the wooden house in an instant. Then, with a 'whoosh,' it flew towards the house!
The wooden door opened automatically, and the Asura God, shocked, stood still as he watched Lin Yi inside stretch his hand to catch the Dragon Pillar.
The Asura God was astonished.
Lin Yi effortlessly held the Dragon Pillar in his hand, but the two scales of the Dragon God were still with him. The Asura God had planned to give the scales to Lin Yi later, to facilitate his control over it.
The Asura God had not even considered that Lin Yi might possess the Dragon God's bloodline; he just felt that Lin Yi was becoming increasingly terrifying, terrifying to an extent beyond comprehension and astonishing!
"Gulp."
The Asura God swallowed nervously and said to Lin Yi, "These scales..."
"Bang!"
The response he got was the sound of the wooden door closing.
Alright, I guess you don't need these scales then...
"How is it, Sister Life? Is Destruction not dead yet? Ah, I mean, is he not recovered yet?"
Evil God apologetically slapped his own mouth.
The Life Goddess nodded her head, "His external injuries are healed, but he's likely to be unconscious for several days. The blow he received was so severe it could almost date back to the time of the Dragon God's great battle."
