The divine status is that of a Creator God, but the godhood is that of the God of Judgment.
In essence, Neuvillette elevated the God of Judgment's divine status to the level of a Creator God.
Similarly, in the original timeline, Tang San elevated the Sea God's divine status to the level of a God-King.
It's the same principle, just using different methods.
As the Creator God descended, the entire universe seemed to light up, with the faint sound of blessings echoing across the cosmos.
Neuvillette, however, didn't dwell on this but instead looked at the gods with a cold, frosty gaze.
This look sent chills down their spines, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.
These were gods, yet they felt fear like ordinary people!
"Judgment, commence!"
"Judgment, hear me!"
As soon as Neuvillette spoke, the Evil God King quickly interrupted.
"This is just a misunderstanding!"
"We are willing to relinquish control over Douluo Continent and cut off the passage between Douluo Continent and the Divine Realm."
"This is your place of ascension, and it will be yours to govern in the future!"
"Let's not harm our relationship!"
"Though you hold the Creator God status, you've only just stepped into godhood."
"Let's not end in mutual destruction…"
The Evil God King had compromised, truly compromised.
Neuvillette seemed terrifying beyond measure.
Destruction and Shura exchanged glances and did not object.
If they fought this being, even if the gods of the Divine Realm won, they would suffer heavy casualties.
Earlier, they had thought that Focalors and Neuvillette couldn't kill them, that at most they'd lose a few first-level or second-level gods.
It wasn't their concern, so they stayed detached.
Losing those gods while getting rid of two problematic God Kings would still be a win.
But now, things were different. These two could threaten their safety, perhaps even kill them!
On further consideration, peaceful coexistence didn't seem so bad.
It's just a place of faith, after all.
Let them have it!
Hearing this, Neuvillette remained unmoved.
"Have you finished your last words?"
"If so, I can begin..."
Those two words, Neuvillette ultimately didn't say out loud; they would hurt his pride as the Water Dragon King.
Seeing Neuvillette refuse to negotiate, a violent glint flashed in the eyes of the Evil God and the others.
Is fighting the only option left?
"God Shura, Rakshasa, you altered many major events on Douluo Continent for the sake of your so-called successors. Is that not explicitly forbidden by the Divine Realm?"
"Gods are not to descend to the mortal world or interfere with its development."
"Is that not another prohibition of the Divine Realm?"
"By descending today, you have violated your own edicts and are guilty!"
"You sought to harm my wife—guilty!"
"I am Neuvillette, the Hydro Sovereign, and I now declare, in the name of the God of Judgment, that you gods are sentenced to death!"
"Execution is immediate!"
As he finished speaking, Neuvillette's aura reached its peak, and countless water elements gathered in his right hand.
At the same time, the single eye of the Cyclops Big Bao glowed with an eerie red light.
Seeing this, the gods no longer hesitated. Today, either Neuvillette dies, or they do—there is no third option.
If negotiations fail, they must fight!
If the Dragon God could be slain, then this so-called God of Judgment is no exception!
"Kill!!"
Countless divine artifacts and godly techniques flew through the sky, making the entire Douluo Continent feel as if it might collapse.
At the same time, the Cyclops Big Bao was the first to move. Behind him, some tubes had been set up, though it was unclear when this had happened, and suddenly several bursts of fire erupted from them.
One of his giant hands reached out to grab a first-level god, who, unfortunately, happened to be the Douluo Water God attempting to escape.
In just an instant, the sheer force made the Water God's eyes widen in shock!
"Boom..."
The mighty first-level god, the Water God, exploded!
Countless bursts of fire seemed to possess a tracking ability; no matter how these gods tried to flee, the flames pursued them relentlessly.
When the second-level god, the God of War, hesitated for just a moment, he was overtaken by the fire.
The resulting explosion not only obliterated the God of War, leaving not a trace, but it also affected several other second-level gods!
As for the third-level gods, they were almost instantly reduced to ashes!
You could say these were gods after all; if ordinary people came into contact with such things, not even ashes would remain. But these gods managed to leave something behind!
In one wave of "missiles," the gods bled!
First-level gods, second-level gods, and third-level gods all suffered varying degrees of casualties.
Seeing this, Shura's mouth opened slightly, but he stopped short of speaking.
That goddess named Focalors claimed she wasn't good at combat, then created this thing called the Cyclops Big Bao.
And in just one attack, two first-level gods were dead??
The casualties among the second-level gods were even greater!
As for the third-level gods, he didn't even dare to count them, fearing he couldn't bear it.
And this is what she called "not good at combat"???
"Everyone, now do you understand why our Divine Realm wants to eliminate soul masters and soul tools?"
It's terrifying! Something this powerful shouldn't exist in the Douluo Universe!
At this moment, Neuvillette had also completed his preparations. Behind him was a massive "magic array," and his body and aura appeared increasingly terrifying.
He raised his right hand, aiming at Shura and the other gods.
As for those "minor gods," the Cyclops Big Bao could easily handle them.
Creating the Cyclops Big Bao must have taken a lot of effort on Furcalus's part, right?
After all, this world doesn't have leylines to maintain energy and recharge the Cyclops Big Bao.
All of Big Bao's power came from the energy Focalors had painstakingly accumulated and converted over time.
"Turn to foam!"
Within the water element was supreme divine power, which transformed into a massive water column, sweeping toward the gods.
The Evil, Destruction, and Shura, along with the first-level gods attacking Neuvillette, all felt the breath of death approaching.
They wanted to evade!
This was a linear attack—if they just moved around Neuvillette, wouldn't they be safe?
Thinking this, they immediately changed their positions...
But if they could move, couldn't Neuvillette move too?
They should have known that his power was not limited by the range of a mouse pad!
He began to turn!
The gods: "???"
The first to be struck was the Fire God, the one who had passed his mantle to Ma Hongjun, only to be disappointed by him.
Given the opportunity, Ma Hongjun had failed miserably!
If not for Tang San already becoming a god, Ma Hongjun's failure to inherit the divine position would have cost him his life.
Unfortunately, this was a case of nepotism.
When the Fire God came into contact with the water column, his entire body quickly dissolved...
"Attack, attack!"
Seizing the opportunity, Shura drew the Shura Demon Sword, concentrating his most powerful strike, one that even a first-level god could not withstand!
Countless Shura divine forces gathered on the Shura Demon Sword.
At this moment, the powers of Destruction and Evil also came into play.
The forces of Destruction and Evil emerged, and the entire world seemed to be plunged into darkness.
However, before the power of judgment, the three divine forces combined still tore through this layer of darkness, descending upon the world.
"Shura Demon Sword, slash!"
