Destruction's complexion changed abruptly, instinctively stumbling a few steps backward.
Red glows flickered incessantly in the night sky, as the temperature around them gradually rose, becoming scalding hot and burning!
At that moment, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, finally illuminating the head of the colossal creature.
Its body was pitch black, its face fierce, and its back was covered with huge fins that were a striking red, as if wrapped in magma.
Gu Yuena stood inside the wooden hut, peering through the door crack at the scene outside, where the giant palm was now mere inches away. Its dark outer shell was overlaid with red patterns, radiating intense heat.
Yet, despite the temperature nearly reaching several tens of millions of degrees, it still hadn't caused the slightest damage to the wooden hut, which the monstrous creature was guarding—Lin Yi's abode.
Gu Yuena turned her head in shock to look at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi spoke slowly, "Red Level Godzilla."
Godzilla, the monster with a nuclear reactor inside its body, undergoes a constant nuclear fission in its reactor when enraged, releasing an extremely high thermal energy that could reach fifty million, or even sixty million degrees.
And at the moment, it was indeed in a state of fury.
Evil hastily stumbled backward, simultaneously exclaiming in terror, "What is this thing?! A soul beast from Douluo?"
Could such a creature that could extinguish Destruction's Skill with a single slap really exist in the realm of Soul Land?!
Red Level Godzilla lifted its forelimbs, transitioning from a prone position to standing upright.
Only then did a few gods realize, to their horror, that this monstrous creature had lain down only to protect the wooden hut. It shielded the hut beneath its body before sweeping away Destruction's Skill with a swat of its paw.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
It began walking in this direction, its hind limbs even larger than its forelimbs, with every step bearing down like a great mountain, scorching the earth black as the surrounding wood chips carbonized on the spot.
"Roar—"
Red Level Godzilla looked down at the diminutive Destruction God below. It turned its body as its tail, like a towering Dragon Pillar, swung through, a wave of heat passing over. Destruction, coming back to his senses, reflexively raised the Staff of Destruction in front of him.
The next moment his body flew out like a missile, once again breaking the Six-Winged Angel Goddess Statue that had been repaired into two halves.
This kind of thrill was even more terrifying than the Dragon God of yesteryears.
Asura God sniffed, detecting the scent of something burning, and then realized that the hair at his forehead had been curled by the heat!
Just a sweep of the tail overhead brought such an immense temperature!
The Life Goddess stood rooted to the spot in a daze, unable to believe what her eyes were witnessing.
As she watched Godzilla continuing towards the Destruction God, she immediately dashed out, positioning herself in front of Godzilla.
"Don't!!!"
The Life Goddess, with tears in her eyes, spread her arms wide. But Red Level Godzilla's massive frame showed no sign of stopping. It seemed to have only one purpose in mind—to utterly annihilate the Destruction God.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The mountainous footsteps were so weighty that the ground trembled with every step.
The Life Goddess felt the scorching heat unbearable. She believed that mere contact with the skin of this monster would not only injure her soul but could very well shatter it.
"Senior Lin Yi!!"
The Life Goddess looked towards the wooden house at the back, crying out loud, and immediately knelt down.
The enormous foot of Red Level Godzilla was raised high and fell towards the Life Goddess's head.
"Xia La, wait a moment,"
A calm voice came from the wooden house.
Red Level Godzilla looked down at the Life Goddess, withdrew its foot, and took a few steps back.
The terrifying high temperature left her side, and the Life Goddess instantly felt as though she could breathe again. She gasped rapidly, but her heart was filled with shock. What kind of heat was this, and why did it feel so special?
Unfortunately, the Life Goddess had no idea what nuclear fission was.
She immediately called out in the direction of Lin Yi, "Senior Lin Yi, please calm your anger! Hadn't we agreed that when the time was right, we could seek your cooperation? Destruction may not be worth a damn, but he's also an important participant! He's sick in the head, and he came down purely for my sake today. Don't stoop to his level; this is purely a misunderstanding!"
The Evil God standing behind was dumbfounded.
For safety reasons, he hadn't let his wife, the Kindness Goddess, follow him down, and now he was extremely glad that he hadn't let Kindness come. The heat that nearly roasted him alive was even more terrifying than his wife's fire.
The Asura God was also stunned. From the moment Godzilla, the colossal creature, appeared to when the hair on his forehead was burned, he was completely dumbfounded.
The night was truly unexpected.
Lin Yi had not taken action himself, but instead sent out a huge creature, one powerful enough to annihilate Soul Land and even effortlessly kill the Supreme God.
Hearing the Life Goddess's words, Lin Yi smiled faintly, "Life Goddess, you need not make excuses for your husband. Tell me, what have I done to you tonight?"
The Life Goddess shook her head helplessly, "Truly nothing. He saw me crying and thought I was being bullied..."
Inside the wooden house, Lin Yi turned to look at Gu Yuena, who was keen on watching the drama unfold, and then said,
"Tonight is indeed interesting. You and your husband have challenged me in turn. Since you're less culpable, I'll let you off, but it would be reasonable to kill your husband, wouldn't it?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Red Level Godzilla suddenly let out a furious roar and took another step forward.
Seeing this, the Life Goddess panicked and quickly shouted, "Do you want any compensation?!"
Lin Yi, "I do indeed always practice the principle of equivalent exchange, so the question is, what is equivalent to your husband's life?"
The Evil God looked at the Life Goddess, who was caught in a predicament, took a deep breath, and said, "Senior Lin Yi, how about this, I'll give you the Divine Artifact, Judgment Scales, what do you say?"
The Life Goddess turned back in surprise.
The Evil God shrugged, "There's no other way. If the Divine Realm loses a Divine King, the cost would be too great."
At that moment, the Asura God turned towards the Evil God and said, "You'd better keep your Judgment Scales. The Divine Realm still has one more thing."
The three gods looked at each other, and the Life Goddess was the first to respond, asking, "The Dragon Pillar?"
The Asura God nodded, "Yes, though I'm reluctant to admit it, it is indeed the strongest Divine Artifact in the Divine Realm right now—the Dragon God's possession. After his fall, that thing was sealed within the Divine Realm."
In the wooden house, Lin Yi heard the conversation outside.
This caught him by surprise. The Dragon Pillar, the former Dragon God's Divine Artifact, which in the original story fell into the hands of the young protagonist of Soul Land, Young Dragon God Lan Xuanyu.
Moreover, Lin Yi had previously received a reward, which was a randomly unlocked treasure map obtained through Qian Renxue's critical reward. Qian Renxue acquired the treasure map for the Icefire Polarized Eyes, and what Lin Yi received was the treasure map for the Dragon Pillar in the Divine Realm.
He had always been too lazy to go treasure hunting in the Divine Realm, but today it seemed that it was delivered directly to him; this saved him a lot of trouble.
