138: Chapter 138 Punishment
Just as the eight thousand plus demigods were still in a standoff with the true god, Mabu and the Three-Legged Monster suddenly appeared beside Chu Xingyang.
Although these two deformed demigods could not speak and suffered from severe intellectual disabilities.
However, during this period of time, they had been carefully looked after by many members of the Gospel Army, and they would no longer suffer from cold, hunger, or being driven away and pelted with stones as they had in the past.
Therefore, subconsciously, the two of them had already begun to treat this place as their home.
They only suffered from the inability to express themselves as they lacked tongues.
However, Wei could tell that these two children could no longer bear to be separated from the Xingyang God.
In outer space, Chu Xingyang affectionately stroked the Three-Legged Monster and Mabu.
After soothing their emotions, he looked coldly ahead and said indifferently, "Stop complaining about this and that all day long; I've already said that for the children of gods, the divine power of each generation is decreasing."
"Chu Ping is the strongest among you only because he is the third born. But in front of the eldest and the second, his bit of divine power is truly not worth mentioning!"
Except for Chu Ping, all the demigods suddenly realized the truth.
They had previously always thought that divine power would grow stronger with the duration of cultivation.
Only now did they know that the reason their older brothers and sisters were strong was simply because they were born earlier.
The disheartened demigods were already preparing to leave this place.
However, the few who were the first to prepare to flee were instantly killed by the Xingyang God.
Chu Xingyang roared, "I will say this one last time! First, restore Neptune which you destroyed! Otherwise, all of you demigods will be buried along with my planet!"
Everyone was intimidated by his aura.
For a long while, no one dared to move.
Chu Ping did not want his younger brothers and sisters to die again, so he took the lead in using his divine power on Neptune, which had already turned into dust.
It was just that earlier, by relying on having many people, they had used gravity to disintegrate the planet in a short amount of time.
Now, wanting to restore it to its original state was much more troublesome. The demigods' divine power was weak, and many did not even have the ability of Matter Conversion.
Seeing their older brother struggling so much, more and more demigods joined him.
A full half-day passed.
With the assistance of several thousand Children of God, Neptune finally returned to its original appearance.
Chu Xingyang nodded with satisfaction, "You half-baked demigods at least still have some divine power."
And Chu Ping, knowing that the mission had completely failed, only wanted to go back early.
So, he lowered his head and said cautiously, "Then we can leave now, right? As for the matter of the two older brothers, let's wait until my father comes in person to talk about it."
Several thousand demigods also revealed looks of wanting to leave.
Accustomed to being pampered and surrounded by attendants, they really did not want to stay in this Solar System where they could lose their lives at any moment.
Chu Xingyang thought for a moment and then laughed, "Don't be in such a hurry! Restoring Neptune is only what you should have done; no one can leave before accepting their punishment!"
Chu Ping was on the verge of tears, "Xingyang God, we have already made up for our mistake. What else do you want us to do before you are willing to let us go!"
"Exactly, since you are a god in this universe, you should be more merciful!"
The demigods began to chime in one after another.
Chu Xingyang widened his eyes, "My mercy is only granted to believers; what right do you have to ask for it?"
After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this: whenever Lieyang comes, that is when you can leave."
"Otherwise, stay trapped here forever."
Looking at the serious-faced Xingyang God in front of them, all the demigods dared to be angry but dared not speak.
But how could they summon their father here right now? And would he, busy fighting everywhere in the universe, really come to save them? Feeling completely desolate inside, Chu Ping quickly swept his gaze over the younger brothers and sisters who had followed him here.
The deep intention of the Father God Chu Lieyang was to let all his children, these demigods, go to parallel universes to gain experience.
It was also considered laying a foundation for conquering parallel space-time in the future.
However, he had clearly overestimated the divine power of the demigods, and he had not expected that the target of their training would be the Sun God, who possessed the power of two gods.
The more Chu Ping thought about it, the more hopeless he felt; out of 8,800 demigods, over 500 had been wiped out in an instant.
The most critical part was that the remaining people were actually trapped here, in a dilemma of whether to advance or retreat.
He had to lower his posture and say, "Great Deity Xingyang, since you are unwilling to let us take our two older brothers, then let us go back. Staying here is of no benefit to you either!"
Chu Xingyang laughed, "When bratty children come to my place to cause trouble, of course I have to detain them, and I can only hand them over when their parents come."
All the demigods were completely dumbfounded; it turned out that the Children of God, who were usually bossy and arrogant, were just bratty children in front of a true god.
Immediately, many people retorted indignantly, "You are bullying us too much. Let us go back, and our Father God will still come to give you an explanation!"
"Besides, if we, over eight thousand demigods, scatter and flee, do you really have the ability to stop everyone?"
As soon as the words fell, many demigods immediately began to gather their strength, looking as if they were ready to strike.
A tense atmosphere spread through space.
Chu Xingyang widened his eyes, "If you want to scatter and run, then try running one by one; whether it's stopping them one by one or killing them one by one, I have full confidence!"
Mabu and the Three-Legged Monster beside him seemed to be infected as well; they tensed their bodies and glared covetously at all the younger brothers and sisters!
Chu Ping swallowed his saliva and immediately shouted to his own people, "Everyone, don't move! His divine power is not below our father's. Let us not risk our lives!"
The demigods were very conflicted.
One Little Girl was so anxious that she actually cried, "But brother, I want to go home! I don't want to stay in this place anymore, and I don't want to come here in the future!"
Several sisters nearby hurriedly flew over to patiently soothe her.
Some of the young and hot-blooded demigods kept frantically signaling to their leader, Chu Ping, with their eyes; they still wanted to risk their lives to break through.
They still did not believe that a true god could trap over eight thousand demigods.
Chu Ping became anxious, his eyes red as he roared, "Everyone just stay the fuck here and don't move! If enough time passes, Father will come to save us."
"The mission has already failed, and five hundred younger brothers and sisters have been lost, so let there be no more new casualties; just wait for Father God with peace of mind."
Chu Xingyang raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a satisfied smile, "That's right, just stand in detention in Earth's orbit. When that old guy Lieyang doesn't see you guys returning for a long time, he will come to collect you. Haha!"
After saying this, he dissipated his figure.
After Mabu and the Three-Legged Monster angrily bared their teeth at all the demigods, they also vanished into the pitch-black space.
Only over eight thousand Children of God were left, floating there in a daze.
The three planetary fortresses they had arrived in were also confiscated by the Xingyang God.
They were placed outside the Oort Cloud, becoming mobile sentry posts.
Thus, these demigods standing in detention became a new scenic line for Earth; people looked up at the night sky and found that the stars in the sky had never been so dense and brilliant!
