She had never imagined that she had been wrong from the very start.
Initially, she thought this youth was weak and bullied by other humans; yet, it turned out he was the strongest among them. Moreover, from the way the youth just told others to flee the area, it was clear they all obeyed his command.
He was the leader of these nearly a thousand people.
Having the strength to challenge the Destruction God with ease proved that their arrival in the Divine Realm was no accident; they indeed had a purpose.
The Life Goddess realized she had completely misjudged the situation.
Lin Yi didn't explain to her that he had the ability to drop treasures when attacked because he felt she wouldn't believe it. This had already been proven countless times during the early stages of the Lottery Shield in Soul City.
No one would believe such an outrageous thing, let alone the gods who considered themselves powerful. They wouldn't believe that a human had such a miraculous ability, and all they thought about was driving them away.
This was also the reason Lin Yi wanted to have a showdown with the Destruction God, to prove his own strength. If he did, these gods would redefine their view of the humans, and the process of using the Lottery Shield could proceed smoothly.
After all, the powerful are the ones who have the right to speak, while the weak can only have their decisions made for them by the strong.
Being an impulsive character, the Destruction God clearly didn't have the intention to communicate. From his mouth, there was only a sinister laugh, and his eyes brimmed with the intent to tear Lin Yi into pieces.
It could be determined that if the Council of the Divine Realm had to negotiate with someone, they certainly wouldn't send him.
"You should step back as well."
At that moment, Destruction said with a hoarse voice to the Life Goddess, seemingly not completely blind with his desire to fight.
The Life Goddess had a helpless look on her face. She had grown accustomed to the Destruction God's temperament and knew she wouldn't succeed in persuading him, so she could only silently retreat.
"Kid, let's have an unhindered, thrilling duel!"
The Destruction God didn't take Lin Yi seriously at all, even though Lin Yi had just crushed his arm with his bare hands.
He was a Supreme God, possessing an extremely rich array of methods and combat experience. When it truly came to battle, victory and defeat were absolutely in his hands.
Lin Yi didn't respond. He watched as the purple aura of destruction grew increasingly intense around the Destruction God, repelling the white fog fearfully away from his surroundings.
The Destruction God moved at an incredible speed, like a purple meteor rushing towards Lin Yi. Yet, as he was about to approach Lin Yi, a pitch-black shadow suddenly blocked his path.
"Brother Destruction, could you not be so impulsive?"
This was a man dressed in a black robe, handsome in appearance, whose usually smiling lips were now much more restrained, his expression much more serious.
"Evil?"
The Destruction God spoke out the black-robed man's title with a hoarse voice.
He laughed darkly, "Ji Dong, do you really consider yourself the Evil God? What right do you have to stop me? They are invaders of the Divine Realm!"
The Evil God named Ji Dong smiled slightly, and with that simple act, he looked even more charming, "I alone might not be able to stop you, but my wife has also arrived. She will help me, and your wife... will help me too."
"You!"
The Destruction God glared at the black-robed man fiercely.
Soon, he saw a woman dressed in a fiery red dress emerge from the thick fog, exquisitely beautiful—it was none other than the Evil God's wife, the Kindness Goddess.
They were a couple that was always inseparable, and indeed, they had appeared together.
Looking in another direction, the Destruction God indeed saw his own wife, the Life Goddess, approaching with a solemn expression, shaking her head at him.
"You all want to stop me? Give me a reason, or else I won't mind taking on both of you."
The voice of the Destruction God grew even more hoarse.
Lin Yi stood somewhat speechlessly behind them, wondering whether they were going to fight or not.
If they weren't going to fight, I might as well continue the attack.
Forget it, I can't be bothered to wait.
Lin Yi directly spoke to the System in his mind, "Use the same light barrier that stopped Thor from leaving last time to encase all these thousand people. Can you do it? The barrier needs to be able to withstand the attacks of a Supreme God."
[I can.]
Hearing the voice in his mind, Lin Yi nodded subtly and calmly made his way to the back, not concerned about the unfinished duel or even acknowledging the existent, blocked Destruction God.
The dark eyes of the Destruction God immediately widened as he watched Lin Yi's retreating figure, rage unsuppressed: "He dares to show such disdain!"
"Calm down! Stay calm!"
Evil immediately halted him again, "Don't be rash, do you know why we came to stop you?"
The Destruction God glared at him, angrily demanding, "Why! You better have a good reason!"
"The Asura God asked us, as a couple, to stop you," Evil explained unhurriedly, not intimidated by the glare.
"He?"
Hearing about the Asura God, the mood on the Destruction God's face visibly shifted. He didn't respect Evil but took seriously the Asura God that Evil mentioned.
"Why didn't he come himself?"
"He said he's observing. He's been watching this youth from the very beginning, even saw the whole process of this youth arriving in the Divine Realm with his own eyes."
Suddenly, the Destruction God was taken aback, "The Asura God knew about him beforehand?"
"I'm not sure about that, I'm just the messenger,"
The handsome Evil shrugged helplessly, "Anyhow, the Asura God told us not to act rashly, he also said that this youth is not simple."
Hearing this, the Destruction God couldn't hold back his pent-up anger, "Why should I listen to him?! What's so special about this youth? He's just a mere human!"
