Chapter 182: Chapter 156: You Shall Witness the True Divine!_3

Beside Divine King Shan en, Prophetic God Kagawus thunderously questioned.

"Clearly, Kagawus, I have gravely wounded the Hidden God."

Slaier struggled to steady himself on the earth’s surface.

He saw the gaze of Divine King Shan En, the majestic king whose eyes, swirling with lightning, flickered with rage.

Divine King Shan En, with one hand, had forged the order among the gods,

and now,

there emerged the first deity to shatter that order—Slaier.

Kagawus looked at Slaier in astonishment, his voice trembling as he asked,

"Why... Slaier, why would you do this, tell me..."

"To fulfill my covenant."

Slaier spoke slowly.

"Is it a covenant with mortals?"

Kagawus asked, disbelieving.

"A covenant with mortals is still a covenant, Kagawus."

Slaier bore the pain and declared loudly,

"For this, I will stop at nothing."

As his words fell, hundreds and thousands of gazes swept over, the gods looking at Slaier with hatred and astonishment.

In this Celestial Kingdom,

there had never before been a precedent for a divine being to harm another.

Yet now, Slaier had broken it all for a mere mortal’s covenant.

The gods wished nothing more than to flay the god of lies and deceit a thousand times over.

Slaier’s lips curled into a slight smile as he reveled in the hatred of his fellow gods, showing no fear on his face.

"Slaier, god of lies and deceit,"

came the imperious and merciless voice from Divine King Shan En, powerful thunder coiled around the King of Gods like a crown,

"the gods will judge you."

"Come then, gods."

The god of lies and deceit laughed uproariously.

As the laughter rose, Divine King Shan En’s thunder reappeared, piercing Slaier’s other shoulder with precision.

Slaier let out a heart-wrenching cry; the thunder did not leave after piercing his shoulder but burrowed into his very soul, exploding at will.

The god of lies and deceit fell to the ground, surveying the gathered deities with a smile on his face, a painful and ferocious grin as he laughed and pounded the earth.

His laughter was like fuel to the gods’ fiery rage.

"What are you laughing at?!"

Kagawus demanded.

Slaier propped up his head with one hand, laughing maniacally as he rose from the ground.

"Gods, I laugh because you are truly dull."

The gods glared at Slaier, and if not for the presence of Divine King Shan En, they would have torn him apart already.

Slaier still laughed,

"Look at yourselves,"

"In the races you created,"

"how many beliefs are rooted in fear?

And how many are founded on the blind worship of ignorance?"

The god of lies and deceit’s retort left the gods burning with anger, their hands trembling in fury.

This deity, did he not know the audacity of his claims?!

"What exactly do you want to do?!"

The gods inquired loudly.

Slaier’s body swayed as though about to collapse, but he still mocked the gods.

"Do you not know? I am different from you all.

"You rule by fear and reward, either intimidating or tempting.

How utterly mundane and lowly!

I, Slaier, have again and again made covenants with mortals,

I diligently search for loopholes in those covenants, I have fulfilled thousands of wishes!"

"Gods,

I am not like you,

I establish my faith on people’s admiration for lies and deceit!

I lead mortals to regard the deceit and lies in covenants with utmost caution and care.

Gods,

I am forging my own myth!"

The god of lies and fear’s voice was manic, vibrating through the stars beneath.

Hundreds of divine beings stared straight at this mad deity.

"Seas of fire, secret liquor, the curse, raging waves, wild winds, forests... you are but empty in strength!"

Slaier declared with an uplifted arm:

"Gods,

you shall witness a true deity!"

......

In later generations of Slaier’s followers,

believers made offerings to their Scriptures.

This was the god of lies and deceit’s mythic Chapter—"Slayer’s Hymn."

Many years prior,

the Prophetic God had made three prophecies for the Golden Age

The second prophecy revealed that stars would fall to the Mortal World, leading to chaos among the nations.

Not long thereafter,

the god of lies and deceit gravely wounded the Hidden God.

That day, the vast starry sky trembled uneasily.

The proclamation of the god of lies and deceit was heard by all deities of the Celestial Kingdom.

This deity, who had once drawn the attention of the Father of Stars, was given the final judgment by the gods.

Divine King Shan En, with mighty thunder, shattered the star of lies and deceit.

The Star,

fell to the earth.

The great Slaier, before his soul shattered, gazed at the Prophetic God Kagawus.

Those eyes of lies and deceit,

made their final plea.

"I am your prophecy,"

"... I am the fallen star!"
