Chapter 952: I Disagree With Your Rules

Faced with the Master of Order’s warning, the God of Light still chose to confront him head-on after all.

Given his character, this was a matter of course. It was no surprise to anyone at all.

If the Master of Order had kept a low profile when he interceded, perhaps the God of Light would have thought twice and might have really put a halt to his attack. But the Master of Order had come to warn him in such a stern and severe manner, and so in this case, he was left with no other choice.

Without fear, one could be strong! A true man should face everything upfront!

This was definitely a mighty and domineering choice. It was filled with the fearless and undaunted spirit of a steel-willed man. But at that moment, Sui Xiong just wanted to rant at someone.

“Wuther Rang! Why must you pit yourself against the Master of Order? Just go straight up to him and kill him. Why do you want to waste your time smashing up the Ancient Forest?

“Don’t you know that it is a very unethical act to go around smashing things? What if you accidentally hit the children? Even if you did not hit anyone, it won’t be good to hit the flowers and verdure either!

“How can you not know anything about the Five Disciples, Four Graces and Three Loves? How can you not have any socialist concept of honor and disgrace at all? You should go home to be punished and practice copying the core values three hundred times!”

In his heart, Sui Xiong was ridiculing the God of Light angrily. Then he leaped up, and his body changed shape in the air. He became a huge, green palm that went to meet with the huge palm of the God of Light that was crashing down towards the Ancient Forest.

The huge palm that fell from the sky had bulky joints and defined angles, and it wore a thick, sturdy iron glove. One look at it, anyone would know that this was a courageous warrior who had braved through many battles. The huge palm that rose from the ground was soft and fat, and it did not seem to hold any bit of strength. It also did not wear any armor. It simply looked like a chubby palm of a little child.

But regardless of whether it was that palm falling from the sky, or that palm that was rising from the ground, at this moment, they both exuded an imposing momentum that could make anyone shudder in fear. The gods who saw them would also feel the fear rising within them upon seeing these two palms. Even the greater Divine Powers who were not as strong, like the God of Law and the Goddess of Wealth, would tremble with fear.

“What the heck! It’s still understandable for the God of Light to be so strong, but why is the Void Mask so powerful as well?”

“Could it be that he has also been promoted to a greater Divine Power?”

“Don’t spout nonsense! Greater Divine Powers are not cabbages you find by the roadside! How can there be so many of them!”

“But… back when he was promoted to a great Divine Power, it had also been achieved very silently.”

“Could it be… that the world has changed?”

The confused and dazed dialogue of the gods aside, the two palms had yet to collide. Sui Xiong could already feel extremely heavy pressure.

The God of Light was truly a master worthy enough to become a greater Divine Power. This palm that was falling could really be said to be “as heavy as the Yue Mountain.”

No, using “as heavy as the Yue Mountain” was far from an adequate description for it. With Sui Xiong’s current strength, one blow from him could send a relatively large world flying away, and he would not even feel any tinge of pressure.

However, this palm of the God of Light could actually exert such a heavy pressure on him, though it had yet to fall upon him.

If this palm really fell and landed upon him, what would happen if they all fought tooth and nail with their utmost efforts?

Could his body really hold up?

Could his strength really be enough to hold off this blow?

Sui Xiong was not confident at all.

But, even if he did not have any confidence, he still had to ward off this blow.

Or rather, at least he had to do whatever it took to minimize the damage that this blow would inflict upon the Ancient Forest.

The struggle for hegemony among the gods should never implicate the civilians. The struggle for supremacy between the humans and elves should not bring down the entire Ancient Forest!

Previously, Sui Xiong had not been able to judge the situation accurately enough to put a halt before the God of Conspiracy and the God of Potion completed the enchantment. That was because he lacked the experienced, or using a catchphrase of friends online, it was “because he was young and made a mistake.” But now, he could judge the situation clearly and understood exactly what he had to do.

For something so apparent, even a fool would know.

The moment right before the two huge palms collided, Sui Xiong could not help laughing.

Then, a loud bang sounded.

Just as expected, the power that came from the palm of the God of Light was so heavy that it was simply beyond his wildest imagination.

If this palm were to fall upon the Ancient Forest, not only would the entire forest and all the living creatures residing in it would die, even the earth beneath it would sink deep down upon being struck with one blow.

It was highly possible that a huge Mediterranean Sea would emerge from its middle if the Main Plane were to be hit squarely and solidly by this palm…

Such a thought flashed through Sui Xiong’s mind.

What followed was an intense pain.

His body shook and cracked upon being hit, and that huge, green palm was no longer able to maintain its former shape. It changed back to the form of a jellyfish, but then, this was also not its usual appearance. Instead, this jellyfish was covered with wounds and cracks, seeming as though it was about to be torn into several pieces. From those large wounds, golden-green blood was pouring out like rain in a thunderstorm, and it spilled upon the Ancient Forest as though it was torrential rain.

Sui Xiong could not recall the last time he was so badly wounded—even during the time when he battled against the evil gods and was forced to self-destruct, he did not remember himself being so badly wounded.

He felt as though every inch of his body, from inside to outside, was in pain. It even caused him to hallucinate that his entire body was a piece of porcelain that was covered with cracks. Just the slightest tap would cause it to shatter completely.

But this was ultimately only an illusion. He was, in fact, not really injured to such a degree. After a few seconds, those terrible wounds on the huge jellyfish’s body began to heal so quickly that it seemed it would not be long before they were fully healed.

Of course, Sui Xiong was quick to realize this. His mood gradually restored peace and calm. Although the pain was still intense and he was still quite badly injured, a strange thought still found its way to his mind.

“The God of Light… is not as strong as I imagined he would be!

“By right, a hit from a greater Divine Power should not be received that easily. It should at least blow me to pieces, or crash a few hundred meters deep into the ground… given its current level, if I were to give it my all, perhaps I still stand a chance in challenging it?

“Could it be that I exaggerated the power of a greater Divine Power? That it is not as strong as I imagined it would be?

“Or… actually, I’m much stronger than what I thought?”

The God of Light seemed to be a little surprised. He was silent for a moment, then he let out a cold hum that carried a hint of compliment.

“Although it was just me making a random shot, it was still impressive that you were actually able to block it,” he said. “Given my status, it’s inappropriate to strike repeatedly. Since you have blocked this hit for these fellows with long ears, today, I shall spare you your dignity. Let them enjoy this last moment of peace. It won’t be long before the human gods will lead a great army to break through this shabby and crude enchantment, and utterly crush their shallow scheme into pieces!”

With that, the huge palm was retracted. The sky, that had been covered by this huge palm, regained its brightness. It was still a blue sky with white clouds, and the weather was sunny.

Sui Xiong had wanted to say some nice words, but at that moment, he was in so much pain that he could not utter a single word.

Infinite power was gushing in from all directions of the Main Plane and was healing his wounds at a super speed that it seemed as though it would only take a minute or two before he fully recovered.

But that was still something that would only happen after a minute or two.

The God of Light withdrew his palm. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, “Master of Order, are you still around?”

“I am.”

“There’s a little problem between us humans and the elves, but the meddlesome Void Mask has decided to be the good guy and took it into his own hands. I gave him face, so I will let this matter pass for now,” the God of Light said in a calm yet firm tone. “So now, isn’t it time to settle the problem between the two of us?”

The Master of Order was silent for a moment, then he replied, “You did not actually destroy the elven race, so I have no reason to make any move on you.”

“But I have a reason to find trouble for you!” the God of Light said amidst laughter. “Why do you have the illusion that you are way above me. So long as you don’t come finding trouble with me, should I be thankful and glad?

“Times have changed, old man. The world of today is no longer up to you to dictate!”

The Master of Order replied, “You mean to say that you are going to challenge me? That you are going to try and defeat me? And then, you are going to decide the order of this world?”

“Of course!” the God of Light said in a resolute and decisive manner. “This world has been operating according to you for too long. It’s time to change a set of rules!”

“Change to your rules? Nonsense!”

The Master of Order fell silent for another moment, but it was not known whether he was hesitating or whether he was weighing the situation.

But in the end, he used a mechanical and cold voice to reply, “Then bring it on. Try to defeat me. I disagree with your rules.”

The God of Light laughed aloud again. He said, “You disagree with my rules? Haha! This is exactly what I wanted to say! Your set of rules has gone out of date. I! Am! Not! Accepting! Them! From this day on, this world shall run to my, Wuther Rang’s, rules!

“Since you are not willing to accept this new rule, then you can just perish and be buried together with the old world!”

There was an outburst of a violent torrential flood on the Positive Plane of the Ring of the World. The God of Light stepped across countless worlds and arrived directly before the mighty Master of Order.

On his back, he carried a broad sword, and in his hands, he held a warhammer. There was a murderous look in his eyes and every step he took would continuously rupture the void space in the surroundings.

As an evil god, the God of Light was not well-suited for any activities on the Positive Plane of the Ring of the World. He used to shield himself with his power to avoid being repulsed by the aura of the Positive Plane of the Ring of the World. But now, he was unleashing his own aura without inhibitions. On the other hand, not only was the repulsive force of the Positive Plane of the Ring of the World no longer effective against him, it was continuously shaking and cracking apart.

From afar, those countless cracks were like countless pairs of crying eyes.

“Come out, old man. Your time is over!” the God of Light shouted as he pointed his Warhammer at the Wheel of Order. Beneath the cover of the helmet he wore, his eyes were flashing radiantly with cold light. “Just comply. Hand over your responsibilities and retire. Let me become the master of this world!”

A stream of white light that flew out of the Wheel of Order was the reply he got. It struck his warhammer with such precision and carried such an overwhelming strength that it forced the God of Light into retreating several steps back.

The Master of Order, clad in his silver armor, slowly walked out of his own God Kingdom. Although he was completely unarmed, he exuded a natural vibe of incomparable power.

“Not a chance,” the Master of Order replied. “I disagree with your rules!”

The next moment, the God of Light had charged right in front of the Master of Order, brandished his warhammer and struck his opponent head-on.
