The God of Fear was a very shrewd guy. Although sometimes he would be fooled by his own cleverness, at least at the critical moment of life and death, his calculation was still quite reliable.
As he said, good and evil were inherent things in the world, and the balance between good and evil was the basic law of the world. Judging evil with good was equivalent to denying the balance between the two, which could not be established from the point of law.
What he said was quite reasonable. Not to mention the mortals, even the gods could not help but nod secretly.
Most of the gods in the world belonged to the neutral camp. For them, the general "good" or "evil" could no longer make them care. What they cared about was their own camp and law, and that was all.
If the balance between good and evil was broken, whether the power of good or evil was too strong, it would have a huge impact on the world. Whether this impact was good or bad was another matter, but in the current situation, no one wanted such a huge impact to appear, because no one was sure what the impact would bring.
In the face of the God of Fear's defense, Sui Xiong smiled coldly and didn't care.
It was not surprising that the God of Fear would defend himself like this, or it was not surprising to the God of Law.
For this trial, he had talked with the God of Law in detail and asked the God of Law to play the role of the God of Fear and imagine how to defend himself.
What the God of Fear said now was also one of the possibilities that the God of Law had conceived at that time.
Of course, he had prepared for this kind of defense in advance.
"Are you this world?" he asked.
The God of Fear was stunned and shook his head.
"So, am I this world?" he asked again.
The God of Fear shook his head again.
"Then, do you and I count as this world?"
"What on earth do you want to say?" the God of Fear asked cautiously. "I don't think this topic is meaningful."
Sui Xiong ignored him and turned his head to look at the audience. "Dear Gods, do you think that if all the gods are added together, we can be considered as this world?"
The gods discussed it, and after a while, they gave a more consistent answer.
No.
The world was vast and boundless, and it was a huge cycle since ancient times. Long before the gods appeared, the world had existed. Even if the gods fell in the future, the world would still exist. The gods were powerhouses who controlled part of the laws of the world. They were the guardians who maintained the operation of the world. They were also the ones who pursued limitless power and even transcended the world. But no matter what, even if the gods of the Pantheon Temple were added together, they were still insignificant and not worth mentioning in this world.
Since ancient times, many clergies had changed masters, and many gods had changed several generations. Everyone was nothing more than the master of a particular clergy. Even if all the gods united, they would only be the masters of many clergies in this generation — that was all.
They were not of this world, and they were not of this world when they united.
Sui Xiong listened to the results of the discussion of the gods and then looked at the God of Fear. "Do you have any objection to this result?"
"No." The God of Fear shook his head.
"Then here comes the problem. Since even if all of us gods are added together, we can't even be considered as such a world, so how can the life and death of a mere god be qualified to affect the balance of the world so seriously?" Sui Xiong sneered and said, "Whether we judge you or execute you, will it have any effect on the balance of this world?"
The God of Fear was speechless and couldn't answer.
"Let me ask again, am I 'kind'? Are you 'evil'? " Sui Xiong continued to ask, "Of course, I don't think you will answer. So I want to ask all of you here. Who among you thinks that you are good itself or evil itself? Or do you think that the sum of the good gods is good itself? Are the sum of the evil gods evil itself? "
After a brief discussion, the gods gave a negative answer.
Even the God of Virtue and the God of Evil were only the highest controllers of "good" or "evil," not to mention the Gods present. They weren't "good" or "evil" themselves.
This was just like the God of Sky was not the sky, the God of Sun was not the sun, and the God of Joy was not joy … even the God of Fear himself was not fear itself.
The gods were only the holders of the priesthood, or rather, the managers. That was all.
After getting the answer of the gods, Sui Xiong sneered again and looked at the God of Fear. "You see, I am kind, but I am not good itself. You are evil, but you are not evil itself. So what does it have to do with evil itself to judge you? What are you to 'evil'? For this world, for evil itself, you are nothing more than a temporary worker who temporarily mastered the clergy of fear. Why do you think so highly of yourself? Your arrogance knows no bounds! "
At this point, he paused for a moment and said with some mockery, "I've seen mortals go crazy more than once when they get drunk. Some claim that they're the king of the world, some boast that they're the most handsome man in the world, and some brag that they're invincible. But I clearly remember that I didn't give you any wine to drink. Why did you suddenly become drunk? "
There was a lot of laughter in the audience, and the happiest one was the God of Justice, Yorgaardman.
The God of Fear's face was livid. He knew that he had lost this debate, and he had lost completely.
After solving this problem, Sui Xiong turned to look at the God of Law, who was the judge. "Your Honor, I don't think the defendant's defense is tenable. His trial will not have any impact on the balance of this world. Please judge. "
The God of Law glanced at the whole public trial venue with calm eyes, and finally his eyes fell on the God of Fear, who was livid but had nothing to say.
"Defendant, do you have anything to say?"
The God of Fear was silent for a moment and said, "Whether it will have any impact is one thing, and whether it has this tendency is another. A trial with an obvious tendency cannot be established. "
This was his last resistance, because he knew very well that once he entered the stage of discussing and proving specific crimes, he would have no room for defense at all.
If he wanted to survive, he must fundamentally deny this trial, so that he could fight for a chance of survival in the situation of certain death.
The God of Law did not comment on his statement, and turned to look at Sui Xiong.
"Plaintiff, do you have anything to say?"
"I think the defendant's statement is very absurd," Sui Xiong said. "Why shouldn't the trial have a tendency? The trial is based on the law, and the law itself must have a tendency — to maintain social stability and the interests of the public. Or to put it more clearly, the law is the product of order, and it exists to maintain a stable ruling order. So, why shouldn't the law have a tendency? Why shouldn't the trial have a tendency? If there is no tendency, then why is there a need for a trial? I can directly kill the defendant with a knife, and everything will be over. "
He turned to look at the God of Fear and said, "What do you think?"
There was fear in the eyes of the God of Fear. He knew that Sui Xiong was definitely not joking. If it had not been for the trial, he would have been killed before.
"You just want to insult me!" He said stiffly. "It is simply an insult to use the so-called law of the good to judge an evil god!"
"… I really doubt that you have drunk too much." Sui Xiong shook his head and sighed. "I just said very clearly that the law exists based on order, and 'order' and 'chaos' are another set of balance parallel to good and evil. Why do you want to link things that have nothing to do with good and evil to the good or evil side? You really have drunk too much, haven't you? "
Then he looked at the God of Justice under the stage and said, "Brother, did you give him a jar of Beheading Wine today?"
"How could it be!" The God of Justice shouted. "If there is a good wine that can make a powerful Divine Power drunk, I can't even drink enough for myself! This bastard, if I want to give him something, I will give him an axe instead of wine! "
The gods laughed again, and there was a sense of irony in their laughter.
The God of Fear frowned and tried to think about how to defend himself, but he couldn't think of anything useful.
To be honest, he was not a eloquent god. For a long time, he had pursued the principle that if he could use his fists, he would not use his tongue, and if he could use violence, he would not negotiate. Who was he? He was the God of Fear! He was a god who brought disaster and fear to the world! Negotiate with words? How embarrassing it would be!
But now, he hated his usual style in the past and regretted that he had not practiced debating in the past years. If time could go back, he must practice debating hard … No! If time could go back, why did he go crazy to provoke that big jellyfish?
The weak provoked the strong, which was a clear act of seeking death!
Unconsciously, the God of Fear had put himself in the position of the weak and regarded Sui Xiong as an invincible absolute strong. In his mind, not only the fear of death arose, but also the fear of Sui Xiong.
The power of the priesthood made him understand this in an instant, so he couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry. He couldn't help but roar loudly, like a beast that had fallen into a trap and was trapped by hunters with nets and pointed at by spears, forks, and crossbows.
But it didn't help. The God of Law just waved his hand and cut off the voice in the dock. Then the trial, which had been slightly delayed, entered the familiar stage.
Charges and crimes were put forward one by one. Witnesses appeared in court one by one, and pieces of evidence were taken out one by one.
In the past more than 100,000 years, all kinds of crimes committed by the God of Fear appeared in front of the public without concealment. As the charges were confirmed, the face of the God of Fear became more and more gray, and his eyes became dimmer and dimmer.
Everyone could see that this villain, who had stirred up trouble and spread fear everywhere for a long time, had finally come to a dead end.
