“Judgment?” Woods stared with wide eyes. “I am the king! Kings do not need to be judged!” he shouted.

“Not anymore,” Leon said coldly. He waved his hand and the crown on Woods’ head flew up and towards him. The royal robe on his body was also torn to pieces. The plated armor inside tore away from his body and dropped beside Leon. Even the Sword of Eagle that he was holding so tightly jolted out of Woods’ hands and landed in Leon’s.

Woods went berserk. “Give them back to me! Those are mine!” he shouted.

He had been forced by Leon’s imposing manner, and could only scream and shout.

Leon was not bothered by his screaming. Calmly and coldly he said, “Sinner Woods Igor. Your charges are rebellion and killing the king’s entire family, as well as a large number of righteous people who were loyal to the king. Do you have anything you want to explain?”

Woods stared with wide eyes but did not reply.

Leon’s mouth twitched a little as he gently moved his finger. An invisible force entered Woods’ body and wreaked havoc, burning his organs and breaking all his bones and muscles apart.

Woods screamed in pain. It did not take five seconds before he completely gave up his position. His face was covered in tears and his nose ran as he screamed and went limp on the ground. “I plead guilty! I admit everything! Just give me a quick death!”

He thought he would be strong when faced with death. But he was not.

He did not even have to die; a small trick that could hardly be called torture made him crumble.

Leon smiled mockingly and took back the force, but Woods did not calm down. He was almost completely compromised. The defense around his heart had broken down, and he laid on the ground and cried loudly.

Leon sighed and addressed the quiet audience next to him. “Mister priest, can you please heal him? If he keeps doing this, the judgment will be very difficult to continue.”

Priest Wookie frowned and said, “Royal Highness Leon, why do you still need to torture him? Won’t it be better to give him a quick death by the sword?”

“How can this be called torture?” Leon said with a smile. “I have waited for over 30 years for this day. I have to get the answers to all my questions, am I right?”

Priest Wookie sighed and waved his hand. A ray of magic fell onto Woods’ body. It not only recovered the wounds inside his body and removed all pain, but it also calmed his emotions down.

“Your Highness Woods, I think you’d better just answer whatever questions he has.” He changed his tone as he advised him. “Since it has gone down this path, everyone knows how it will end. So why would you choose to make yourself more guilty?”

Woods did not reply. But all saw the fear and weakness in his eyes and knew that he had already surrendered.

“And so, the trial continues,” Leon said, asking him more questions. “Woods, why did you start the rebellion?”

“I wanted to be king,” Woods replied honestly. “There was no special reason or cause. I simply wanted to be king, that was why I started the rebellion.”

Leon nodded his head and asked, “Then where did the army come from? The soldiers who supported you when you rebelled?”

This was a difficult topic that had been bugging him. As a prince, although Woods had a high position, in reality he did not have much money or many soldiers. With his capital, there was not even enough to launch the large-scale rebellion at that time.

“It was the Noble Maids Church who supported me,” Woods replied. “At the time I had privately expressed my interest in wanting to become a king. So the people of the church found me and said they were willing to support me. They were the ones who gave me money and supplied me with manpower.”

“But all these years, the Noble Maids Church did not expand especially well in the Eagle Kingdom,” Leon said. “Did you not agree on any conditions as an exchange?”

“Initially it was agreed that after I became the king I would use the Noble Maids as the national religion. After the big cleansing, we made a lot of preparation for this to happen, too,” Woods replied. “But I do not know what happened. The people from the Noble Maids Church suddenly told me that they wanted to cancel the initial agreement. After that, they left. It caused a huge gap in the middle and upper levels in the Kingdom, and I spent a lot of energy to find sufficient replacements.”

“They left? Didn’t they say why were they leaving?”

“No, and I did not ask,” Woods said. “To me, since they were willing to leave on their own terms, I could not have asked for more. A king who controlled all the power by himself would have been better than a king with the Noble Maids Church directing him.”

Leon nodded slightly and was deep in thought for a while. He asked again, “Well then, who was the personnel from Noble Maids Church who contacted you back then?”

“Hayde, his name was Hayde. I only know everyone calls him that,” Woods replied. “His ability was definitely within the legendary realm. But exactly which level I am not sure.”

“Is that his real name?”

“I am not sure.”

“Was he a pastor, priest, knight, or something else?”

“I have not seen him fight, so I cannot be sure.”

Leon shook his head and sighed. “Look at you; starting a rebellion and cleansing under someone’s encouragement. And in the end, you did not even know what his name was? What job he had? All this basic information? Aye! You are such a pitiful slob!”

Woods was dejected and did not say anything.

“I actually had a lot of things that I wanted to ask you, but now I can see that there is nothing much more to ask...” Leon sighed. As he was about to announce his verdict he suddenly frowned and looked up towards the sky.

At the same time, all the Gods, holy spirits, oracles, experts from different paths on the battlefield, experts in millions of worlds, and even the Gods in the Pantheon Temple, all turned their attention to the main plane: towards the eternally burning fireball placed high up in the sky.

The sun.

The brightness of the sun had dimmed under everyone’s attention.

At that moment the Sun God was hit by the God of Light’s hammer until he flew out of Sun Throne, falling heavily onto the dusty ground.

Such a heavy hit was almost nonexistent in the entire life of Sun God. The God of Light had even taken the risk of being heavily injured to hit Him. He took on all His attacks. All the energy contained in this hit was the maximum capacity that the God of Light, who was also top of those with very strong divine powers, could achieve.

If He weren’t in His own Holy Kingdom with an unlimited amount of divine power to charge Himself up, perhaps this one hit would have instantly felled the Sun God.

His body launched through the sky in a curved line and fell onto the battlefield heavily, right next to Flaming Angel who had incarnated into a sea of fire.

“Your Highness?!” Flaming Angel shouted, shocked as he hurried over to pick Him up. “Are you alright?”

The Sun God did not reply but held onto Flaming Angel’s arm fiercely.

An endless flame flew from the body of Flaming Angel, and the dimmed flames on the Sun God’s body began burning again.

In comparison, Flaming Angel had become stunned and sluggish, as if turned into a machine. He stood there without any movement as he allowed Him to plunder the flame and life-force from him.

In just a short time, Flaming Angel had completely disappeared along with the sea of fire that he had created. He had been completely absorbed by the Sun God.

“What the f**k!” Sui Xiong said, shocked. “How can this fellow consume His own man?”

“God knows?!” the God of Protection said in a lowered voice. “Careful!”

This was bullsh*t. Of course everyone knew they needed to be careful. But knowing was one thing; the ability to do so was another.

The Sun God had incarnated into a firelight and surged towards them. Even if they were prepared, there were only a few who could really dodge it.

Sui Xiong was one of them.

Just then, he was eternally grateful for his tentacles. These tentacles had given him unparalleled mobility. There was no dead angle at all. So when Sun God charged over, he moved himself to the side the first chance he got and dodged the hit.

But even though he dodged it, most members of the Human God and elite team could not make it.

There weren’t even screams. In a moment’s time, the elite team whose rampage was unstoppable instantly disappeared into grey smoke. Even a few Gods were killed. Luckily, they kept clones in the Country of Light to revive themselves. Otherwise, with this one hit, the middle level of the Human God System would have suffered a heavy loss.

But the Sun God was not targeting them in this attack. He was aiming for the large group of angels who were fighting.

Numerous flaming tendrils extended from His body, each of them like tentacles as they entangled the many angels. All the angels in these tentacles suddenly became sluggish. They turned into divine power and flew into His body, disappearing without a trace.

In that short moment, over 90% of the angels disappeared.

In correspondence, the flame on the Sun God’s body burned hotly. His entire body almost incarnated into a fireball of endless heat and light. It was as if the sun had appeared right in front of everyone.

Sui Xiong was speechless now. He really wanted to ask one thing: Hey big brother, are You the Sun God or the demon king? How come this trick looks specially made for a villain boss?”

But he thought the Sun God would not understand him...

And he was really busy. He did not have free time to talk nonsense like that.

Just as the angels were being devoured one after another, he suddenly had a bout of inspiration and found that there was something very important that he could do.

He increased his speed and charged towards the Love Angel who was casting buffing spells faraway.

A flaming tendril extended from the Sun God’s body, flying alongside him. Both were not more than half a second’s distance from the angel.

And yet, this half second was almost enough.

Because the Sun God had suddenly gone crazy, all the angels and oracles were in a sluggish state; this was probably one of the tricks left by the Sun God so that He could devour them easily when in need. So when Sui Xiong got there, it was as if the Love Angel had turned into a puppet. He stood there dumbfounded. There was no reaction from him at all.

Sui Xiong was very fast. He waved his tentacles and became a huge net, covering the body of the angel who was previously God of Healing. He rolled him into a ball in a short moment, and swallowed him into his belly,

This had used a little of his time, and for that, he endured a hit from the Sun God that caused him to fly out and fall far away. Half of his body was even burned to a crisp.

But he was smiling; he was smiling very happily.

“This time, I finally have someone with healing properties!”
