The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

Black Feather Heavenly Punishment felt his power being noticeably weakened, while White Feather Heavenly Punishment grew stronger with each battle.

This is precisely the main power held by the Goddess of Justice—justice. By controlling this power, she can adjust the power gap between multiple things, but she cannot weaken or strengthen any one side in a unilateral way. She can only make the gap between the two sides disappear and achieve a balance.

This ability to force a balance of power between two sides is not very useful when facing enemies weaker than oneself, but it is practically a bug when used to fight enemies of a higher level.

After slowly rising, the left balance finally reached equilibrium with the right balance, which was sinking.

At this moment, Bai Yu Tianqian's previous injuries were healed in an instant, and the difference in divine body strength between Hei Yu Tianqian and Bai Yu Tianqian was now zero.

"What an overbearing power."

Black Feather Heavenly Punishment roared madly, "Damn insect, I'll make you vanish into thin air!"

After Black Feather's roar of divine punishment, the Goddess of Justice seemed to have been greatly eroded. The pure white veil that had been wrapped around her eyes was now stained crimson at the eye sockets. Crimson blood seeped from the veil and flowed down the goddess's porcelain-white and smooth cheeks, forming two shocking bloodstains.

Bai Yu Tianqian understood that the power of the Goddess of Justice couldn't affect him and Hei Yu Tianqian for long. Therefore, he didn't delay, spreading his wings fully and shooting towards Hei Yu Tianqian like a laser beam.

They grappled with each other again, and even though it was just a physical collision, the surrounding space was still cracked with irreparable fissures.

When the forces are equal, Black Feather Heavenly Punishment is clearly inferior to White Feather Heavenly Punishment in terms of physical combat skills, and is quickly suppressed by White Feather Heavenly Punishment, and can only passively defend.

At this moment, as Bai Yutianqian entered, another new intruder entered through the torn spatial rift.

This time, it was a white-haired loli with a tender face. She had two long pigtails that reached her heels, and she was wearing a light blue dress. A book with white bone wings was flying around her.

She is the goddess of wisdom, the chief deity of a small western kingdom on the other side of the Coral Sea, primarily the Duchy of Ariel, the homeland of Leon's biological mother.

After the appearance of the goddess of wisdom

A new figure then slipped through the crack.

This was an old man with white hair and a full beard, but with a dignified air. He was wearing a crisp gray suit and held a twisted scepter that looked like a coiled snake in his hand.

This is the main god worshipped by the indigenous people and some orcs in the hills and mountains of the south—the Lord of the Earth.

After the Lord of the Earth appeared

Then another extremely beautiful woman walked out.

The woman's features were distinctly elfin. She wore a green silk dress that fluttered in the breeze, and her long green hair was styled in an exquisite way with beautiful pearl hair ties and other hair ornaments. Standing there, she didn't need to do anything; she exuded a free and ethereal quality that transcended the world.

This is the chief deity worshipped by the Elven race, the Storm Goddess, and also widely known as the Free Queen and the Elven Goddess.

At this moment, apart from the vampire goddess Lilith, all the strongest mythical-level powerhouses in the world were gathered here.

The very few remaining truly mythical beings are either half-dead or trapped in their own divine realms, unable to awaken.

Or they are a group of false gods who use mythological pretenses to swindle and harm believers. These false gods are usually wild, unparalleled angels who have secretly advanced through unofficial channels. Once they have a little bit of power, they go around pretending to be gods and bewitching people.

Sects with titles like "God of Sleep," "God of Wind," "God of Fire," and "God of Gamblers" are almost all cults and false gods. When official authorities come to investigate, these guys disappear without a trace.

With the addition of the goddess of wisdom, the lord of the earth, and the goddess of storms, the situation was completely reversed.

Soon, the black divine punishment could no longer hold on. It was bound by all sorts of strange rules, its wings were all broken by the white divine punishment, and it was covered in wounds.

A massive mountain was pressing down on his back. His mind was a chaotic storm of knowledge, and the various pressures within his body, such as air pressure and blood pressure, were in complete disarray, as if they were about to burst his entire body from the inside out.

"Damn it, you insects!"

Black Feather Heavenly Punishment was extremely angry.

But he knew that his chances of winning were slim.

"You are the one facing death now, not the insect in your eyes."

"The Goddess of Justice spoke."

"You're about to die? Are you kidding me! You think you can kill me?"

Black Feather Heaven's Punishment laughed so hard he almost fell over, as if he had heard a joke bigger than the sky.

"Okay, okay, come and try it! Come and kill me! I really want to be killed! Hahahaha, come on, kill me! Kill me!"

Black Feather Heavenly Punishment laughed maniacally, but after a while, he suddenly stopped laughing, and a sinister look appeared on his face.

"You won't be so lucky every time. I will be back! Sooner or later, I will crush you all. One day, I will find a way to devour the other me in this world and return in full glory! Your destruction is only a matter of time! You cannot kill me. I am unkillable! I am unkillable! Hahaha! Hahaha!"

Black Feather Heavenly Punishment began laughing maniacally again.

But his smile vanished quickly. Bai Yutianqian flashed behind Hei Yutianqian, forcefully tearing off Hei Yutianqian's wings, and dug his fingers into Hei Yutianqian's spine. Then, with a sudden burst of strength, Bai Yutianqian ripped a spine covered in bone spurs and blood directly out of Hei Yutianqian's body.

Soon, the evil aura surrounding Black Feather Heavenly Punishment dissipated rapidly, its three eerie eyes vanished completely, and its jet-black fur began to fade, turning into human skin.

This is the body of Hoyle I.

"I……"

Hoyle I opened his eyes, his expression blank and panicked. Looking at the surrounding gods, Hoyle I knew clearly that he had failed.

Just as the gods were about to execute Hoyle I, they saw his body begin to shrink drastically, and his skin aged and withered.

"How is this going?"

King Hoyle I wailed in agony, his former arrogance long gone, his expression now one of utter terror.

"What's going on? What's going on?!"

Hoyle I cried out helplessly, but his body continued to shrink irreversibly.

"Hahaha, is this what happens when you sell your soul? I should have known this would happen if I made a deal with the devil. My karma is ruined, it's my fate. Hahaha, damn fate! Damn fate!"

Hoyle I muttered to himself in a frenzy. He had gone completely mad. His human form disappeared, and his body began to turn into clumps of writhing flesh. But after writhing for a moment, the flesh quickly withered and lost its vitality, eventually turning into a pile of rotten flesh that was utterly disgusting and meaningless.

From within this rotting flesh, all of Hoyle I's divine essence began to dilute, and among it appeared a skull emitting a powdery golden light.

This skull has a bizarre shape; when viewed upside down, it resembles a crown. This is likely the core authority of the God of Order, a characteristic that must be integrated to become a God of Order.

Having just advanced to the Mythical level, less than a day later, Hoyle I perished. He is probably the fastest-falling god among all the gods so far.

After defeating Hoyle I, the gods all looked nervously at Bai Yutianqian.

At this moment, Bai Yutianqian was holding Hei Yutianqian's true form, that sinister spine, in his hand.

"Don't be so nervous. Apart from that vampire from before, who I've met many times before, you all look like strangers. You must all be the new generation of gods in this world, the oldest being only a little over a thousand years old, right? Although you haven't seen me, you must have heard of me. You call me the God of Divine Punishment."

Bai Yutian swept his gaze across the gods and said in a deep voice.

"Although both of us are me, we are two separate selves. The me who likes to slaughter ants and is always talking about destroying the world, while the me standing in front of you has no interest in crushing you insects."

Bai Yutian continued.

"Rather than enjoying the painful struggle of an insect in my hand, I prefer to observe these insects objectively, to see them build their own civilization, have their own lives, and then strangle each other. To me, this is like watching a series of wonderful dramas."

“My life is too long. If all of you insects die, I will find a way to create other insects like me that can think and have intelligence. I will help these insects survive. If I can’t watch insects play, I don’t know what fun I can have in my life.”

Bai Yutian laughed.

"So, I'm going to reseal myself now. I have no interest in the affairs of you ants."

After saying that, Bai Yutianqian disappeared.

The remaining gods looked at each other in bewilderment.

"It was agreed beforehand that this is for the sake of our shared home, and in this matter, we must put aside our personal grudges and not lay a hand on each other."

The goddess of justice, who was the most seriously injured, spoke.

"Justice, you're far too naive. It was just a verbal agreement. I think it's time to settle accounts with you today for orchestrating the fall of the Beast God."

The Lord of the Earth glared majestically at the Goddess of Justice.

“Old man, I urge you to keep your word. The Empire’s invasion of the kingdoms of the Western Sea has greatly affected my followers and harmed me as well. My conflict with justice is inevitable. However, if such an agreement can be broken at will, then if such a crisis occurs again in the future, all the mythical beings will no longer be able to work together. Therefore, I will not allow you to harm justice.”

The goddess of wisdom looked at the lord of the earth and spoke in a warning tone.

"Earth, I urge you to calm down."

The fairy goddess also frowned.

"Fine, I won't do it."

The Lord of the Earth knew that he was no match for the goddess of spirits and the goddess of wisdom, and that what the goddess of wisdom said was indeed true; this was a matter of life and death for the world.

"Justice, you must find a way to get the new king of the Fchester Empire to help the orcs rebuild their nation. If you continue to invade the orcs' last homeland, and my anchor becomes unstable, I will definitely come and fight you to the death before I go mad!"

The Lord of the Earth roared in anger, then he left through the crack he had come from.

"Previously, it might have been due to Caesar—no, it should be Hoyle I, but I hope the Coral Sea Campaign can be resolved amicably; otherwise, justice will only allow us to fight each other."

The intelligent loli looked at the Goddess of Justice and spoke in the same tone she used to warn the Lord of the Earth.

She didn't linger, then drifted back towards the crack she had come from, and quickly slipped out and left.

Within the hidden divine realm, only the Goddess of Justice and the Goddess of Elves remained.

"Justice, now that Hoyle I is dead, who will you support as the new king of the Fchester Empire? The dragon race is now severely weakened, and the Fchester Empire has become the most prosperous and powerful country in the world. The empire's iron cavalry is undoubtedly the best weapon of war, and these powerful weapons of war are all your followers."

The elven goddess spoke slowly.

"Who will be Fitch’s new king is not something I can directly interfere with. They have to decide for themselves. If I get involved, I can’t bear the enormous consequences brought about by the laws of this world."

The goddess of justice spoke up, "And I have never actively led a war."

"But you acquiesced."

The elven goddess said, "Every person who passes by without seeing a flower withering is guilty. Don't you want to kill the other gods and gain more benefits?"

"Ah……"

The goddess of justice smiled without saying a word.

“I understand the principle of ‘if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.’ If the region of the believers of wisdom falls, then the elves on the islands of the Western Sea will naturally be in danger as well. Therefore, I must intervene in the affairs of the Western countries.”

"That's what the elven goddess said."

"it's up to you."

The goddess of justice snorted coldly.

The elven goddess did not linger and also left towards the rift.

Guberlan,

Blacksburg,

Underground palace.

An extremely powerful pressure suddenly descended. After the dragon kings fled, almost all the powerful human warriors of the empire guarding Gubelland rushed towards the underground palace.

But at this moment, they clearly sensed that something extremely terrifying had entered the underground palace.

Chapter Twenty-Six: I'm Here to Pick You Up

Leon felt as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep.

He woke up on the cold floor of the underground palace.

At this moment, he felt incredibly excited. Despite having various exaggerated wounds on his body, he felt no pain whatsoever, as if his entire body was filled with power.

Not far away, Leon was kneeling facing a pillar in the underground palace, his head resting against it, his outer garment completely covering his head.

"Leon?"

Leon called out, but Leon did not respond; he seemed to have fainted.

Without rushing to pay attention to Leon's situation, Leon sat on the ground and quickly sorted out his chaotic thoughts.

Then, Leon walked to the spot where the Heavenly Punishment Sword had been sealed.

As before, the Heavenly Punishment Sword was completely embedded in the ground at the center of the formation, leaving only a small section of straight bone at the end that resembled a hilt.

Beside the center of the formation were three transparent white spheres.

Leon picked up the three spheres, and at that moment, Leon, who was leaning against the pillar, also woke up.

He ripped off the clothes covering his head, revealing a horrifying wound on his forehead, covered in dried blood.

"When the divine punishment returned, I was in the underground palace. With my ordinary physique, I knew I couldn't possibly pry into the existence of this level. So, in my haste before it entered, I rammed my head against a pillar to make myself lose consciousness of the outside world."

Before Leon could even ask, he began to explain himself.

"Alright, Leon, I don't have time to listen to this now."

Leon interrupted Lyon, saying, "The divine punishment has revived within me. Some myths have recorded the end of the world, and none of the heroes who saved the world did so without sacrificing themselves. I have completely lost the ability to feel pain now, which should be a final burst of energy before death. I don't know how long this state will last. While I am still clear-headed, I need to tell you some things, so please listen carefully to what I have to say."

“Leon, you—okay, go ahead.”
