Chapter 858

But some preparations need to be made... Riveria had some vague ideas in her mind.

…………

Underground Temple of Babel.

The bell sounded.

That was the voice of a guild member reporting something important.

Su Jin, who had taken over the identity of Ouranos, slowly opened his eyes on the altar and looked at the door of the temple.

"What's the matter?"

Outside the door, Aina's respectful voice sounded:

"Lord Ouranos, God Astralia has returned and is waiting for your summons outside the door."

Chapter 1177 Justice and Loyalty

In the underground temple, the magic stone lamps on the walls emit candle-like light, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

As the heavy door was pushed open, light footsteps also sounded.

"It seems we haven't seen each other for a long time, Lord Ouranos."

After the footsteps slowed down, a gentle female voice sounded in the underground temple.

Su Jin, wearing a cloak and sitting on the throne of the altar, lowered his head slightly and looked at the visitor.

Her long brown hair shimmered under the candlelight, and her face was soft and beautiful.

Wearing a white dress, she looks elegant and has a smile on her face, perfectly fitting the definition of a goddess.

That kind of girl left the comment of 'too much energy' in Ouranos' memory...

It’s true that people can’t be judged by their appearance...Su Jin cursed in his heart, and then said:

"How does it feel? Orario now."

"I used to be more energetic." The beautiful goddess responded with a chuckle.

After a brief response, Astraea looked at the handsome figure on the altar and couldn't help but said in surprise:

"This kind of appearance?!...Oh my, is it really okay to appear in front of me with this image?"

Astraea said with surprise:

"The Convention of the Gods does not allow the use of divine power in the lower world, and you rashly return to your youthful appearance. Lord Ulanos, what are you thinking?"

"Oh? What do I think?" Su Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked with a smile: "Compared to my opinion, I am more curious about what you think about this matter?"

"You are very handsome. Lord Ouranos has a youthful appearance. If you attend the meeting of the gods with such an attitude, you will be harassed by those girls." Astralia responded with a smile.

Although the words were flattering, they also avoided the sensitive topic just now.

When using divine power in the lower realm, it is the ruler of the guild who takes the lead in breaking the rules.

This kind of thing is very sensitive, and Astraea doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing now.

"Haha, are you being harassed? Then I have to be careful."

Su Jin finished speaking with a smile, then narrowed his eyes, looked at Astralia and said:

"But your worries are unnecessary. My current appearance was not changed by divine power."

"Eh?" Astraea was very surprised after hearing this: "Could it be that after I left for a few years, another sage refined the Philosopher's Stone?"

The most famous thing that Astoria can think of is the Philosopher's Stone, which allows gods to change their appearance without using divine power.

"I can't explain the specific content, but in general it is a similar miracle."

Su Jin responded perfunctorily, then looked at Astralia with a smile and said:

"But having said that, you should also have received news, right? News about Zeus."

"Yes, when I entered the city, I happened to see the back of Zeus and Hermes entering Happy Street. It happened that you sent someone to invite me to the guild at that time, so I took care of it by the way."

Astraea had a charming smile on her face.

However, after Su Jin heard these words, his expression froze.

He could already imagine the scene where members of the Hermes Familia led a team to arrest people in Happy Street.

As for the one who was arrested, it was naturally Hermes. After all, the money on Hermes was earned by the family members. How could this guy be allowed to go whoring at will?

Should I be called the goddess of justice? Even if he loses his power, he still has to 'report' to the guild with a righteous heart. This is really cruel... Su Jin cursed quietly in his heart, then cleared his throat and said:

"Ahem, since you have met Zeus, you must know what happened in Orario before."

"Yes, I regret what happened to Ishtar, and I am willing to set an example and jointly propose to the guild to interrogate Zeus."

Astraea said with a chuckle.

The smile on his face made it impossible for the secretary to see any regret at all. Instead, he was mostly gloating over his misfortune.

"Oh, by the way, with God Zeus's personality, I guess he won't admit anything, so although there are some violations, I still suggest that the guild uses some more drastic measures."

"For example... I agree with torture. Of course, it would be better if physical sterilization can be achieved."

Looking at Astraea, who was smiling kindly in front of him, Su Jin's expression was frozen.

Is this really Lady Justice? Su Jin thought unnaturally.

I just want Zeus of Hakoba to die, but Astraea wants Zeus to live worse than death!

Su Jin, who was holding the Zeus Linge in his hand, suddenly did not dare to continue on this topic.

He hesitated for a moment and decided not to talk in circles with Astralia, but said directly:

"Although I agree with your idea, since Zeus has surrendered, I am sorry that I cannot refer to your opinion regarding the corresponding punishment."

"Have you surrendered yet? Zeus is really decisive." Astraea said with a little regret.

Seeing the regretful expression on the other party's beautiful face, Su Jin's eyelids twitched a few times, and then sighed:

"You're as grumpy as ever, Astoria."

"What are you whispering there?" Astraea asked pretending to be confused.

I didn't lower my voice...Su Jin cursed in his heart. When he saw Astraea's 'confused' look on his face, he had to avoid the topic and said:

"Since Zeus has surrendered, some suspects from the dark faction have been confessed by him."

"Asteria, guess which of our acquaintances are here?"

"Don't worry and make a bold guess. I think based on your experience, you should be able to guess some people."

Speaking of this, Su Jin's expression was full of hints.

Astraea also noticed this hint and couldn't help but frown and asked:

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Astralia felt that something was wrong because Ouranos's behavior had changed a lot from her impression.

If it weren't for God's spiritual sense, which confirmed that the person in front of him was Ouranos, Astralia might have doubted the identity of the person in front of him.

But if the person in front of him is indeed Ouranos, then what does he mean by these words that violate the guild's neutrality principle?

Those words just now told her almost clearly that as long as the names of some gods were reported, Ouranos would personally eradicate them.

And it was in the form of Zeus framing him as an accomplice.

Astraea, who was confused and hasty in her heart, was silent for a moment, and then simply said directly:

"I can understand that you used your divine power to restore your appearance in order to deal with the god pretending to be Zeus, and I also understand the meaning of your sidestepping behavior. However, what you just said already has the intention of eradicating dissidents."

"Could it be that, Lord Ouranos, you want to give up the guild's position of fairness and justice and end up personally?"

Facing Astril's question, Su Jin was silent for a moment, then slowly raised the corners of his mouth and said:

"Congratulations on guessing it right!"

Chapter 1178 Astria’s little thoughts

Astraea's gentle expression gradually disappeared.

She stared deeply at Su Jin, who had a kind but majestic smile on the stone throne of the altar, her eyebrows furrowed deeply:

"Lord Ouranos, can I understand that you intend to give up your position as a referee and go to the field yourself to form a family?"

If Ouranos established a family and personally participated in the family game among the gods.

The result must be an unimaginable disaster.

This is not only because of the chaos caused by the referee's dismissal, but also because the existing gods in Orario will inevitably rebel against the guild.

The battle between these two forces will inevitably lead to the collapse of Orario.

This is something Astraea doesn't want to see.

"No." Su Jin shook his head and modified Astralia's wording: "It's not a dependent family, but a group of gods."

Gods... Astraea opened her mouth. Faced with this unfamiliar vocabulary, although she could not fully understand it, she could guess that it was a concept close to the gods.

In other words, Su Jin's purpose is not to form a family of gods to rule humans, but to establish a group of gods to rule gods.

"What...what do you want to do?" Astraea's face was full of sorrow.

The temperament of that melancholic beauty perfectly interprets the definition of pity for me.

Different from the previous image that was full of softness, this posture now is the true spiritual portrayal of Astraea.

On the throne, Su Jin looked down at the melancholy goddess below, and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and said:

"Asteria, let me ask you, how long has it been since the gods stopped evolving?"

Hearing this sudden question, Astraea thought for a moment and fell into silence.

"Can't you answer it?" Su Jin raised the corner of his mouth and said in a mocking tone: "Then let me tell you!"

"The gods never evolved!"

Su Jin sneered in a mocking tone:

"Since the birth of the oldest gods in the heavens more than 200 million years ago, what were the gods like at that time? What are they still like now?"

"Compared with the situation when the gods were just born more than 200 million years ago, the gods have not made any progress at all. The only changes are organization and relationships."

"From the earliest days of the divine game in which only gods could participate, to the relationship established after the lower world in which gods bestow favors on humans and promote human evolution, the only changes that gods can make are as long as they live longer and are more knowledgeable."

When Su Jin said this, his eyes were full of ridicule:

"I heard that many of the gods in Orario claim to be omniscient and omnipotent, which is really funny."

"Professing to be omniscient is just because he has lived longer than humans and has seen more, which leads to being more knowledgeable. And zero energy is even more of a mockery. Apart from the essence brought by birth, the gods have not made any progress in these years. What could I do in the beginning? I can only do what I have accumulated for so long. What I have gained is just experience.”

"Whether they are in the heaven or the lower world, there is only one thing they do, and that is 'enjoyment'."

"Even if the black dragon crawls out of the underground city and destroys the world, the gods in the heaven will not die."

"With this mentality, they did their best to entertain themselves, and even formed a dark faction, just because they were curious about what the human world would look like after the destruction of the black dragon, they wanted to release all the demons in the dungeon to sweep the earth."

"Asteria."

Su Jin's excited tone became much calmer. He looked down at the silent Astralia below and said emotionlessly:

"After I sat on this throne and became Uranus, I was thinking about one thing."

"………What are you thinking about?" Astralia pursed her dry lips, and had a faint ominous premonition in her heart.

Su Jin narrowed his eyes and said calmly:

"I wonder if the gods still need to exist now?"

As the figure on the altar said this in a calm tone, Astralia only felt the tremor from his soul.

There was a terrible 'thing' surging on the altar.

That was not the divine power that Astralia was familiar with, nor was it the terrible magic of the dungeon, but a more terrifying and vaster power, like the power of the universe itself!

Inexplicably, Astralia had a premonition.

That is, if the ancient god in front of him was willing, he could easily cleanse the earth and clear all the gods.

Thinking of this terrible guess, Astralia couldn't help biting her lip and said:

"Are you planning to destroy the world?"
