As a loyal subordinate of the God of Terror—perhaps the only loyal subordinate, Hasalin, the God of Shadows and Assassination, has been thinking about how to save her boss.
The Tribulation Field is definitely not going to work. Not to mention that he is just a mediocre divine power, even a powerful divine power is useless - don’t you see that two powerful divine powers joined forces and were both defeated by Void Mask alone? Want to rob the law field and save people by yourself? Then he must first transform into the Lord of Order with great divine power, or walk on the roadside and pick up a stone, which turns out to be a fragment of the godhead left by one of the other three great divine powers.
Just think about this kind of thing. Hasalin is a pragmatic god, so he is thinking about how to save the God of Fear by non-force means.
To be honest, this is an impossible task.
Hasaleen himself is not a smart and wise god, but he changed his mind - I am not smart enough, so I will ask smart people for help!
So He incarnated and sneaked into the world, and successively found six officials engaged in legal work and two scholars who studied history, hoping to get solutions to the problem from these professionals.
Because he wanted to conceal his identity, he did not dare to use divine power rashly. He could only use ordinary methods such as money and treasure to seduce those people, including even beauty. Fortunately, the god could change his appearance freely, otherwise he would With her deathly pale complexion and malnourished figure, her "beauty" might have the opposite effect.
After much questioning, Hasalin finally found a way.
There are two kinds of spirit of law, one is "Things not permitted by law are illegal", the other is "Things not prohibited by law are not illegal". For common people, the former is generally used, and for nobles, the latter is generally used. Well, as for the king... the king does not have to abide by the law, he is above the law.
Now that the God of Fear has become a prisoner, the "king does not have to abide by the law" is naturally out of the question, but this gives those smart professionals a good idea - since ancient times, all laws have been There are no laws established to restrain mortals, never against gods. Since there are no laws against gods, it doesn't matter whether the gods "sin" or not.
In other words, no matter what the gods do, it is never a crime.
Hasalin didn't know if this method could exonerate His Majesty, and she didn't know what would happen after he was exonerated, but he had no time to think of a way anymore. The public trial had come to an end.
So even though he knew there was little hope, He still stood up and used the method he had spent a year preparing.
After hearing his words, the gods were stunned for a moment, and then started talking one after another.
"He seems to be right. There has never been any law against our gods."
"Indeed, the law also has its scope of application. There is a famous saying in the world, which is called 'The king will not break the law'. By analogy, of course the gods will not break the law."
"Yes, after all, gods are much nobler than kings!"
Those who said these words were the gods of the neutral camp.
"It's kind of bad! Someone caught me in the blind spot!"
"Yes, no matter in the past or now, there has never been any law that contains provisions for sanctioning gods."
"This kind of thing has never happened before... What should we do now?"
"At least I can't think of a way. I'm afraid I have to do it forcefully, right?"
"If you ask me, there shouldn't be any public trial. Just kill that bastard with a knife and bring peace to the world!"
"Alas! Who would have thought that such an accident would happen!"
You can tell by the way they speak that these are kind gods.
"Haha, it's really exciting this time!"
"Don't flaunt your innocence when you sell it. You want to get fame and fortune. How can it be so cheap!"
"Although we suffered a big loss this time, it is a little comfort to be able to see this good show."
"It's just a pity for Hasalin. Originally, I was thinking of waiting for Dialt (the God of Fear) to die and trying to conquer him..."
"Why are you trying to take advantage of someone else's dog? Even if you forcefully get it back, he won't treat you the same as the original owner. You might as well train it yourself."
"That's right. After He dies, the corresponding share of the priesthood will be freed up. I happen to have a few good assassins under my command, and I can let them try it..."
These are, of course, evil gods.
In contrast to the discussions among the gods, the face of the God of Fear, which had been calm and depressed, regained its luster. He stood up, looked back at the God of Shadows and Assassination, and sighed deeply.
"You shouldn't have come."
"I should come!"
The God of Fear smiled sarcastically: "You are here to die, and you can do nothing except die."
"I should have been following you. Wouldn't it be better if I could do something a little bit?" the God of Shadows and Assassination said excitedly, "Even if we all die here today, I will at least prevent them from using This ridiculous tactic of 'trial' is used to insult you!"
"Innocent! Do you think this is a place for reasoning?" The God of Fear shook his head and sat down again, "Silly boy, you will understand soon..."
As the subject of judgment, He thinks far more and more profoundly than others, and has already seen through the true purpose of this judgment.
To deal with him is actually just a matter of course. Mask of the Void and the others clearly want to take this opportunity to establish their authority!
In order to achieve this goal, even if their charges cannot be established, they will forcefully accuse them.
What's more... many of his crimes can really be established.
Hasalin's idea is great, but it's actually useless.
Laws and other things are not all left to the God of Law to interpret!
He did not say these words, because He felt that there was no point in saying them, and it was nothing more than being refuted and humiliated again.
As the leader of the evil gods, even if he is at the end of his rope, he still has to maintain his own face.
That's all He can do now.
Faced with the questions from the God of Shadows and Assassination, the God of Law remained silent, but Sui Xiong couldn't help but smile.
After the discussion among the gods subsided a little, he said: "Your question is indeed reasonable. In the past years, there has never been any law that has provisions against gods, and there has never been any law that can be used to punish gods. conviction."
"But, that's all in the past." As he spoke, a golden light shone in his hand, and a book containing infinite divine power appeared.
"This is the code of the gods. It has been reviewed and approved by His Majesty, the Lord of Order, and has been engraved into the order of this world."
As he spoke, he input his divine power into the golden book. The book slowly rose into the sky, and a heart-stopping majestic aura flowed from it. It was the divine power of the Lord of Order.
Along with the divine power of order comes a law that is not complicated and can even be said to be somewhat simple.
The core spirit of this set of laws lies in the four words "when in town, do as the Romans do." He stripped the gods of their transcendent status and declared that since the gods were part of the rules of the world, they should act according to the rules. Whenever a god goes to a place, he should respect and abide by the laws of that place - of course, he can also ignore the laws with his powerful force, but if he is caught for this, he must be judged according to the laws of that place.
Another very important point in this set of legal provisions is unlimited retroactive rights. No matter when and where something happened, as long as it is something in this world, no matter how long it has been, it can be traced and judged according to this set of laws, without exception.
In other words, from now on, the world also has laws against gods.
... Of course, unless they can capture the hostile gods alive like Sui Xiong and others, it would be easier to "bring them to justice" than to kill them with a knife.
In fact, this law is still mostly for decoration, but its establishment contains immeasurable significance.
For example, while Sui Xiong demonstrated this set of laws, the aura of the God of Law continued to improve, and in the end, it suddenly broke through the limit of medium divine power and entered the category of powerful divine power.
Breaking through the final limitation of "gods have no laws", "law" has finally been completely established in this world!
