8: Chapter 8 This angel has gone mad

"Yes! Please, both of you calm down, my Lords!"

"Let's talk this out, please don't resort to violence!"

"The destructive power of a Half-step God King is too terrifying. If you really fight, none of us will come out unscathed!"

The surrounding First-Rank Divinities also chimed in to persuade them, their faces pale, fearing that the two might start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

Even the Evil God King, who usually enjoyed watching the chaos, put away his smile and frowned as he spoke: "Kid, don't be too impulsive. You've just stepped into the Half-step God King realm and your Foundation is unstable. If you really fight to the death with Asura, you won't gain anything. And you, Asura, stop adding fuel to the fire. If you actually wreck the Divine Realm, none of us will spare you."

The Destruction God King took a step forward, his Divine Power of destruction slowly spreading to form an invisible barrier, and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop! Private fights are forbidden within the Divine Realm, let alone a decisive battle at the God King level! Whoever dares to ignore the God Realm Committee's pact and strikes first will be an enemy of the entire God Realm Committee!"

But facing the Divinities' dissuasion, Qian Chongguang only slowly shook his head, his eyes showing not a shred of wavering.

"This is not a private fight. This is a battle of faith, a battle for justice."

His voice was cold, sweeping across every God King present.

"Some gods, cloaked in the guise of light and justice, commit filthy acts like stealing authority and manipulating the Life and death of Mortals. They have touched my bottom line. This kind of thing can never be tolerated, and it's useless for anyone to try to talk me out of it."

His gaze suddenly shifted, passing over the Asura God and landing on Sea God Poseidon, who was at the back of the crowd, his face pale and trying to quietly shrink away.

Qian Chongguang's lips curled into a cold, mocking smirk as he said: "Don't you agree? Poseidon."

Poseidon froze, his face instantly turning deathly pale, and his footsteps came to a forced halt.

He feigned calmness, raised his head, and spoke with a look of feigned astonishment: "What nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever steal your authority? The angel god position and my Sea God Position have never had any intersection. Don't you dare make false accusations!"

"No intersection? False accusations?"

Qian Chongguang scoffed. With a gentle flap of his twelve wings, a majestic pressure of light instantly enveloped Poseidon, his voice carrying unquestionable majesty: "You, a Sea God who wields the Law of the Ocean and Water, why would you have a light-type divine skill like 'Seagod's Light' that can purify divine Souls and dispel evil? That familiar fluctuation of Origin is clearly the light authority of my Angel Clan! Do you really think that after the first Angel God fell, you stole a part of his dissipated light Origin, disguised it as your Seagod's Light, and after all these years, it has truly become yours?"

"You filthy thing, do you think you're Agul?"

Before the words had even faded, Qian Chongguang raised his hand and grabbed, spitting out two words: "Return!"

In an instant, Poseidon's whole body shook violently, and he let out a painful muffled groan! A brilliant golden light was forcibly stripped from his Godhood, uncontrolled, turning into a stream of light that instantly broke through his protective divine light and flew straight into Qian Chongguang's hand, merging into his light Origin!

With the return of this wisp of light Origin, the aura around Qian Chongguang grew even stronger!

"No! That's mine! Give it back!"

Poseidon's face was as pale as paper. With his Godhood damaged, his aura instantly withered. With eyes splitting in rage, he lunged toward Qian Chongguang, wanting to take back that wisp of Origin.

But Qian Chongguang only shot him a cold glance and waved his hand casually. A ribbon of Divine Power, intertwined with light and darkness, tore through the air and slammed fiercely into Poseidon's chest!

"Get lost!"

With a deafening boom, Poseidon was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the white jade pillar of the Angel God Temple. A mouthful of azure divine blood spewed out, and he was severely injured on the spot, unable to even stand up.

One move, and he had severely injured the veteran First-Rank Divinity, Sea God Poseidon!

The square fell into instant silence. All the Divinities were terrified into silence, not daring to even breathe loudly.

They finally realized that the newly ascended Angel God before them wasn't joking; he truly dared to attack the veteran Divinities of the Divine Realm, and he truly wasn't afraid of bringing the heavens crashing down!

Qian Chongguang slowly withdrew his gaze, sweeping across the silent Divinities in the square. His twelve light-and-dark wings suddenly spread, and the pressure of a Half-step God King swept out overwhelmingly without reservation. His voice, like a clap of thunder, echoed for a long time across the vault of the entire Divine Realm.

"My high and mighty Divinities, and all you pampered Divinities, time is almost up. Prepare to welcome your twilight!"

"Although this forbidden power was obtained by burning my Soul Origin and can only allow me to temporarily possess the cultivation of a Half-step God King, it is more than enough to deal with you all."

Looking at the light-and-dark Divine Power surging madly around him, carrying an aura of extinction, the Goddess of Life's expression changed drastically, as if she had thought of something extremely terrifying, and she exclaimed: "Angel! What on earth are you trying to do?! You are burning your Origin to forcibly convert light and dark power; you can't last long like this! You are... you are not planning to live at all!"

Qian Chongguang turned to look at her and suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with the madness of a desperate gamble, and also the sorrow of someone who had seen through everything.

"You've finally realized it?" His gaze swept across every God King present. "From the moment the Asura God forcibly dragged my Clone up to the Divine Realm, from the moment I decided to overturn his script, this struggle has always been to the death. And from the very beginning, I never intended to live."

This desperate declaration from Qian Chongguang was like a spark thrown into a pot of oil, instantly igniting the tense atmosphere of the entire square.

The four God Kings—Destruction, Life, Goodness, and Evil—all darkened in expression.

They had originally only wanted to calm the situation, neither wanting the Asura God's scandal to blow up, nor wanting to force this newly ascended Half-step God King into a corner. But now they realized clearly that the man before them hadn't come to the Divine Realm to demand an explanation or fight for authority—he had come to flip the table. He was harboring the intention of mutual destruction, wanting to drag these high and mighty Divinities, along with this Divine Realm order, into Hell together.

The full-power eruption of a Half-step God King was enough to shake the Foundation of the Divine Realm, let alone a Half-step God King who was burning his Soul, using forbidden power, and fighting with a Mortal heart! Not to mention the power he controlled—the mutually exclusive power of light and darkness combined, just like the combination of their evil and goodness, the combination of destruction and Life.

Even if this power was far inferior to the Dragon God who once dominated the Divine Realm, its weirdness and tyranny were enough to make any God King feel wary.

"Since you are obsessed and insist on provoking war in the Divine Realm, don't blame us for ganging up on you."

The Destruction God King took the first step forward, his Divine Power of destruction erupting with a roar. As the pitch-black Divine Power surged, even the surrounding space began to crack inch by inch. He shouted in a deep voice to the Asura God: "Asura, put away your personal grudges! Now is not the time to throw a tantrum. This kid has gone mad; we must join forces to take him down!"
