Seeing that the God of Law was promoted to a great Divine Power, the gods were surprised at first, and then they were relieved.

Although the God of Law had just been a mid-level Divine Power, he was really powerful. There had been rumors that his deity hadn’t been promoted because of the lack of an opportunity. It seemed that the rumors were true. What he lacked was indeed an opportunity.

It was an opportunity of creating a law about gods and setting rules for gods.

Now that the opportunity had arrived, he was immediately promoted to a great Divine Power, and everything was logical.

“Hah hah! Hah hah hah hah!” the God of Fear laughed wildly. “No wonder you spend so much energy on this so-called public hearing. It turns out that it is true that you just pretend to humiliate me. What you really want is to pave the way for your promotion! Law Brans (the God of Law), you are really an old fox! Very crafty! Who says that you are old fashioned? They are all blind!”

The God of Law was silent. He didn’t recognize or refute those words, but Sui Xiong sneered.

“How come you look down upon yourself? Is a great Divine Power really great? You are also a great Divine Power, right? How can a new great Divine Power be compared to you, an old great Divine Power? What’s more, you are still the leader of a large group of evil gods, and you master a god system. See, today, before you die, you still have a loyal subordinate to help you. Don’t look down upon yourself. This public hearing is prepared to deal with you. As for anything else, just by the way.”

“Deal with me?!” The God of Fear acted like he heard a joke. He asked, sneering with disdain, “To deal with me, ask that poor clown under the stage to jump up and chop me with an axe. Everything will be over, right? Is it necessary to be so troublesome?”

Sui Xiong answered, shaking his head. “You look down upon yourself, or in other words, you look down upon us. You really think that we don’t know what the priesthood of Fear means? You really think that we don’t know that you have prepared a lot of back-up plans over the years? Even if you fall, you will still have a good chance to be resurrected.”

The face of the God of Fear gradually became gloomy, and he was silent.

“Well, you can look down on me. After all, I am indeed a rookie. Apart from being good at fighting, I don’t understand anything else. But how can you look down on my elder brother? Do you forget that in addition to Justice, he has another major priesthood?” Sui Xiong said with a smile. “He is not only the God of Justice but also the God of Courage. Courage and fear are precisely tit-for-tat rivals.”

The God of Fear was still silent, but his face was already as gloomy as the cloudy sky before raining.

“My elder brother has been investigating you for years. I believe that you have also been investigating him, but he is a real bachelor. There is really nothing to investigate. In contrast, you are different,” Sui Xiong said with a smile. “If my elder brother didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t know it! It turns out that you have prepared so many methods! No wonder my elder brother had to capture you alive with a lot of trouble. If I used an axe to kill you, maybe you would have been resurrected by now?”

The God of Fear said nothing, but his facial expression had already explained the problem.

“I won’t explain what specific methods you have one by one. But I want to tell you that the reason why we spend so much on preparing this public hearing is to completely beat you down into the ashes, so that you will never have a chance to make a comeback! Not only that, but we also want to change the direction of the priesthood of Fear and move it to a direction that is completely different from yours!”

The eyes of the God of Fear suddenly widened, staring at Sui Xiong.

He was not afraid of the threats of Sui Xiong because he was still very confident. Even if he was dead now and most of his preparations were not effective, one or two of his methods that were particularly hidden could be effective. He would never really fall. There would always be the day when he could return to the world.

However, if the priesthood of Fear changed its direction, he would be really finished!

All his methods were based on the premise that he was the God of Fear. Even if others inherited the seat of the God of Fear, as long as they followed the traditional direction, they could only pave the way for him. No matter how well developed they were and how strong they were, sooner or later they would be replaced by him, and he would perform the Return of the King.

However, if the direction of the priesthood of Fear changed, then his arrangements would be totally useless.

“What do you want to do!” he yelled madly. He was pretending to be powerful, but he actually revealed a weakness.

“Nothing,” Sui Xiong said, smiling. “In this year, I have played a few games. They are quite scary and very fearful. According to the demo result in the mortal world, many people find it very interesting, and it is also very popular.”

The God of Fear clearly showed panic.

“Next, I plan to build some haunted houses, make some horror movies and some VR horror games. All in all, in fact, fear is also a good selling point. If people can experience fear more in safe conditions, it will be good to improve their courage. It is also a pleasure in life.”

“Bastard!” the God of Fear screamed angrily as if he wanted to rush out of the prisoner’s box to fight desperately with Sui Xiong. However, when he exerted his power, the chains of Divine Power on his body shone at the same time, and he was firmly locked and suppressed in his seat.

“I plan to spend some time reshaping the image of fear in people’s minds and shifting it from radical evil to neutrality towards evil. This is not an easy task, and I don’t know how much time and effort it will take,” Sui Xiong said, smiling. “However, in order to make you, the head villain of the Pantheon temple, completely finished, it is all worthwhile. So, die in peace. The old age when the priesthood of Fear represented darkness and cruelness will disappear into the long river of history and become a topic for future scholars.”

“I don’t accept it!” the God of Fear shouted. “Conspiracy! It’s all conspiracies!”

“I have done all these things clearly, so why are they conspiracies?” Sui Xiong asked, smiling. “Either the public hearing or the horror-themed entertainment in the mortal world, which one do I do secretly? Which thing is unclear?”

“That law!” the God of Fear shouted. “The law is what you make secretly!”

Sui Xiong laughed happily. With a white light flashing in his hand, another book appeared in his hand. The words on the cover showed that it was The Code of the Republic of Northwest.

“Today I will make you know clearly why you will die!” He turned the pages and pointed to the first article on one page. He said, “Look, what is this?”

The relevant words suddenly magnified, turning into words that anyone could see clearly. They then floated in the air. action

The Republic of Northwest is a country ruled by laws. All creatures in the Republic of Northwest are equal before laws.

“In fact, I plan to use this law to deal with you from the beginning,” Sui Xiong said leisurely. “But my new friend said that it was not good to punish other gods with our own law. Therefore, he proposed to visit the Master of Order. The Master of Order represents the order of the world, so it killed two birds with one stone to ask him to sign the Code of Gods. It not only provided us with a sufficient legal basis to punish you, but also supplemented the most important part that the world’s legal system lacked. Although it was not pleasant enough, I still accepted his advice for the long-term planning of the world.”

After the explanation, Sui Xiong looked at the God of Fear mockingly. Sui Xiong said, “Okay, now you choose on your own. The Code of Gods or the Code of the Republic of Northwest? You can choose whichever you want. It’s fair enough, isn’t it?”

“Damn Code of the Republic of Northwest! I am not in the territory of your Republic of Northwest!” the God of Fear roared.

“Not in the territory of the Republic of Northwest?” Sui Xiong said, smiling. His hand waved, and the surrounding light and shadow flowed. The audience including the gods found that the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and they were already in the Ashes Woods. From the treetops not far away, they could clearly see the huge observation deck of the Void Mask Land.

“What do you say now?”

“Despicable!” the God of Fear cursed angrily. “Despicable and shameless!”

Sui Xiong took out a cigarette from nowhere and lit it up. He took a deep breath and spat out a huge smoke circle, and the smoke circle drifted away slowly in the air.

“Ironic. I follow the rules to do everything, and you say that I am despicable?” Sui Xiong said. He laughed loudly while shaking his head. Then he said, “For you, such a villain, as long as you can’t make profits, then everything is a despicable act. However, everything will be over.” The cigarette that was created by Divine Power disappeared, and the surroundings of the public hearing were again covered by the blue sky. No one could see the outside scene. “It is time to pronounce the sentence now.”

The God of Shadow and Assassination seemed to have no sense of presence, and she closed her eyes all the time. Now she shouted, “Wait a moment!”

Sui Xiong was stunned. He said, turning to look at her, “You have been in contact with your avatar in the mortal world, right? It seems that you have found a special lawyer there.”

The God of Shadow and Assassination didn’t answer him. She said in a hurry, “All legal provisions should have a retrospective period, so the Code of Gods has no exception!”

Sui Xiong said, shaking his head, “The retrospective period of human beings exists because of their limited life. Gods have an infinite lifespan, so the retrospective period is unlimited.

“Don’t use mortal laws to rule gods. Gods and mortals are different.”
