No creativity at all.

Fool.

I wasted my hope on you, expecting you could come up with something impressive.

In the end... I didn't expect you to be such a waste.

Aren't you the Evil God?

Can't you come up with something more thrilling and creative?

"Tsk, forget it, I'm not going to get angry with a waste."

Herbert withdrew his gaze disdainfully, not giving the God of Assassination another look, lifting his head to the sky.

Now, the celestial phenomena stirred by the God of Sinful Desire had not completely dissipated, the black mist gradually fading, but the sky was still gray.

Although he didn't see those cold icy eyes in the black mist, he knew clearly that the Divine were watching him.

They were waiting for Herbert to respond — Mortal, do you see yourself truly as a Godslayer?

His upcoming performance would determine many gods' thoughts about him.

Herbert knew what the gods most wanted to see him do.

Nothing more than lowering his head, showing his humility as a mortal, expressing his respect for the Divine.

Doing so might not dispel all the gods' hostility toward him, but it surely could wake most of them up.

Since even Herbert bows down, they would have no reason to target a humble mortal associated with the Sun God.

So, would Herbert choose this smart way?

He would not.

In the past, he would not, in the present, he would not, and in the future, he still will not.

This mindset of surviving cowardly never crossed his mind, not even for a moment.

Perhaps this is the most correct and safest way, but it's not Herbert's favorite.

"So, I refuse... hehe." He whispered to himself in his heart, then shook his head with a laugh.

Because doing so is very boring!

Such pretense, humiliating disguise, isn't it too dull?

Herbert considered himself a smart person, knowing when to do what, knowing the most correct path.

But at the same time, he thought he was more of an interesting person.

Or rather, his soul was never content with solitude, always seeking excitement in a bland life.

Herbert was always like this.

It's not the first day he's this "sick".

Otherwise, which mentally sound guy would choose to hang out with the Evil God without worry from the start?

Otherwise, why was he so fascinated by those dangerous yet alluring Monster Girls from the beginning?

The reason is simple, because it's thrilling.

Herbert's entire life is in pursuit of thrill.

For others, a destined turbulent life might be a curse or punishment, something to avoid.

But for Herbert, it was always a reward.

Said all the benefits, what about the drawbacks?.JPG

Now, no one can help Herbert make a decision.

The Sun God is within his body at this moment, and Miss Xie Shen is desperately hiding, not daring to speak, unable to communicate with him.

There's no elder in this world who can decide for Herbert, everything relies on him.

In this matter, Herbert has his own ways.

Not necessarily correct, but definitely exciting.

...

Finally, Herbert spoke.

"You all heard the last words, He has given me a name full of malice."

"I am not born for this, nor do I intend to be an enemy to others."

"But if you all insist on seeing me as a Godslayer, wanting to kill me... then I am indeed the Godslayer you speak of."

His tone was calm, his eyes resolute, as if not speaking to the Divine but issuing an ultimatum to sinners awaiting judgment.

"You can try to kill me, attempt to completely obliterate my soul and body."

"But don't forget, you all saw His fate."

Mortals are weak, hollow words carry no persuasion.

But the charred body beside him silently added weight to his words.

He maintained a calm expression, uttering arrogant words of defiance.

He is:

"Complete annihilation is your ultimate destiny."

Hmm?

Herbert's words instantaneously displeased many Gods who were still hesitant.

So arrogant?

You are merely a fake Godslayer who stolen divine power, and you dare utter such blasphemous words?

Presumptuous.

Foolish.

Some Gods who were initially planning to assist Herbert knitted their brows.

But just before the Divine expressed their dissatisfaction, they witnessed Herbert's following actions, and his still unwavering words.

Herbert raised his right hand to his chest, spoke with unwavering determination:

"Under the witness of the Holy Light, I, Herbert Albert, as a Paladin, hereby make a Divine Oath — O evil gods, I will strive for my entire life to annihilate you."

Yes, Herbert was making a new Divine Oath!

And as if to echo Herbert, as his voice fell, the Holy Flame in the center of the Holy City of Radiance suddenly swelled.

Boom!

Perhaps because Herbert's words stirred changes in the Law, or perhaps the Sun Goddess' will residing within his body caused the Rules to tremor.

A streak of flame shot out from the dazzling sphere, rushing instantly towards the sky above Herbert's head, burning the black mist away.

The clouds above dispersed, revealing the ever-hanging sun in the sky.

The radiant sunlight spilled through the opening, shining upon Herbert, cloaking him in a golden glow, making him appear incredibly dazzling and radiant.
