As a loyal subordinate of the God of Fear, perhaps the only loyal subordinate, Hasarin, the God of Shadow and Assassination, had been thinking about how to save her boss.
It was impossible to rob the execution ground. Even if she was a great Divine Power, it would be useless, not to mention that she was just a mid-level Divine Power. Didn't the two great Divine Powers join hands and still be defeated by the Void Mask? If she wanted to rob the execution ground and save the God of Fear by herself? She had to change herself into the Master of Order, or pick up a stone on the side of the road, which turned out to be a piece of divinity left by one of the other three great Divine Powers.
Hasarin was a pragmatic God, so she was thinking about how to save the God of Fear by non-violent means.
To be honest, this was an impossible task.
Hasarin was not a smart and wise God, but she changed her way of thinking. If I am not smart enough, I will find smart people to help me!
So she sneaked into the human world and found six officials who were engaged in legal work and two scholars who studied history, hoping to get a solution from these professionals.
Because he had to hide his identity, he did not dare to use his divine power rashly. He could only use ordinary money and treasures to tempt those people, and he even used his beauty. Fortunately, a god could change his appearance freely. Otherwise, with his deathly pale face and malnourished body, "beauty" would probably have the opposite effect.
After many inquiries, Hasarin finally found a way.
There were two spirits of law. One was that "anything that is not permitted by law is illegal," and the other was that "anything that is not prohibited by law is not illegal." For civilians, the former was generally used, and for nobles, the latter was generally used. As for the king … the king did not need to abide by the law. He was above the law.
Since the God of Fear had become a prisoner, the rule that "the king did not need to abide by the law" was naturally out of the question. But it gave those smart professionals a good idea. Since ancient times, all laws had been set up to restrain mortals, and there had never been any law against Gods. Since there was no law against Gods, it did not matter whether Gods committed a crime or not.
In other words, no matter what a God did, it was not a crime.
Hasarin did not know if this method could exonerate His Majesty, nor did she know what would happen after he was exonerated. But she had no time to slowly think of a solution. The public trial was coming to an end.
Therefore, even though he knew that there was not much hope, he still stood up and used the method that he had spent a year preparing.
Hearing his words, the gods were stunned at first, and then they began to discuss.
"He seems to be right. There has never been a law against us gods."
"Indeed, the law also has its scope of application. There is a famous saying in the human world, 'Kings will not break the law', and so on. Of course, the gods will not break the law either. "
"Yeah, after all, gods are much nobler than kings!"
The ones who said this were gods from the neutral camp.
"This is bad! My blind spot has been caught! "
"Yes, no matter in the past or the present, there has never been a law that punishes the gods."
"This has never happened before … What should we do now?"
"At the very least, I can't think of a way. I'm afraid I can only fight head-on, right?"
"If it were up to me, we shouldn't have held a public hearing. We should just chop that bastard to death and bring peace to the world!"
"Alas! Who would have thought that there would be such an accident! "
Judging from the way they spoke, one could tell that they were good gods.
"Oh, there will be a good show this time!"
"If you want to sell yourself, don't flaunt your innocence. You want fame and fortune. How can there be such a cheap thing!"
"Although we suffered a big loss this time, it is a little comforting to see such a good show."
"It's a pity that Hasarin died. I was thinking about how to subdue Diarre after he died …"
"Why do you want to subdue him? Even if you manage to get him back, he won't treat you like his original master. It's better to train one by yourself. "
"That's right. When he dies, the corresponding share of the priesthood will be vacant. I happen to have a few good assassins, and I can let them have a try …"
These were, of course, evil gods.
Compared with the gods' discussion, the face of the God of Fear, who had been calm and decadent, regained its color. He stood up, looked back at the God of Shadow and Assassination, and sighed deeply.
"You shouldn't have come."
"I should have come!"
The God of Fear smiled sarcastically. "You came here to die, and you can't do anything except die."
"I'm supposed to follow behind you. Wouldn't it be better if I could do something?" The God of Shadow and Assassination said excitedly. "Even if we all die here today, I will at least stop them from insulting you with the ridiculous trick of 'trial'!"
"Naive! Do you think this is a reasonable place? "The God of Fear shook his head and sat down again." Silly child, you will soon understand … "
As the target of the trial, she thought more and more deeply than others, and she had already seen through the real purpose of this trial.
In fact, it was just a matter of convenience to deal with her. The Void Mask clearly wanted to take this opportunity to establish their authority!
In order to achieve this goal, even if her crime could not be established, they would put the crime on her.
What was more … many of her crimes could really be established.
Hasarin's idea was good, but in fact, it was useless.
The law could be interpreted by the God of Law himself!
She didn't say these words, because she felt that it was meaningless to say it. It was nothing more than being refuted and humiliated again.
As the head of the evil gods, even if she had reached the end of the road, she had to maintain her face a little.
Now, that was all she could do.
In the face of the doubt of the God of Shadow and Assassination, the God of Law was silent, but Sui Xiong couldn't help smiling.
After the voices of the gods had calmed down a little, Sui Xiong said, "Your doubts are indeed reasonable. In the past years, there has never been any law against the gods, and there has never been any law that could be used to convict the gods."
"But that's all in the past." As he said, his hand was shining with golden light, and a book containing infinite divine power appeared.
"This is the Code of Gods, which has been reviewed and approved by the Master of Order, and has been engraved into the order of this world."
As he said this, he infused the divine power into the golden book. The book slowly rose into the air, and a terrifying majestic aura flowed out of it. It was the divine power of the Master of Order.
Along with the divine power of order, there was a law that was not complicated, and could even be said to be a little simple.
The core spirit of this set of laws was the phrase "when in Rome, do as the Romans do." He deprived the gods of their transcendental identity, claiming that since the gods were also part of the rules of the world, they should act according to the rules. Every time a god went to a place, he should respect and obey the laws of that place. Of course, he could also use his powerful force to ignore the laws, but if he was caught because of this, he would be judged according to the laws of that place.
In this set of laws, there was another very important point, which was the unlimited right of retroactivity. No matter when and where something happened, as long as it was in this world, no matter how long it had been, it could be traced back and judged according to this set of laws, without exception.
In other words, from now on, there were also laws against the gods in the world.
Of course, unless one could be like Sui Xiong and the others, who could capture the hostile gods alive, it would be easier to "bring them to justice" than to kill them with a knife.
In fact, this set of laws was mostly for show, but its establishment contained immeasurable significance.
For example, when Sui Xiong demonstrated this set of laws, the aura of the God of Law was constantly increasing, and in the end, it broke through the limit of a mid-level Divine Power and stepped into the category of a great Divine Power.
After breaking through the last limit of "gods have no laws," "law" was finally completely established in this world!
