Chapter 1111: Chapter 523: Divine and Godslayer

This is simply reversing the heavenly formations!

For the Divine Favorers blessed by the Divine, such speech is akin to a severe slap to the face of the god who bestowed their favor.

If others were to say such things, the God of Sand and Stone would dismiss it as lunacy, mocking their foolishness.

But if these words came from the one before Him... then He must consider it.

After all, this Godslayer carries the title of "Blasphemer."

He truly dares to do it.

And even if he spoke such blasphemous words to the world, that blazing Sun still favors him.

On him rests an enviably extravagant favor.

Tsk, what is their relationship anyway?

For the Divine and devotees, this favor truly is excessive.

However, the God of Sand and Stone doesn’t want to involve Himself in matters between the Sun and this youth.

Anyone else could be, but not that one – He truly cannot afford to provoke.

Thus, He refrains from delving deeper into this topic and turns to the business at hand.

"So, what exactly do you wish to say on their behalf? Are you here to plead for them?"

The God of Sand and Stone stared coldly at Herbert, his attitude extremely indifferent and forceful, saying, "If that’s why you’re here, then you may leave now."

"Regardless of who’s behind you, this matter is non-negotiable."

"Today is already the final deadline; if they don’t fulfill my demands, they will naturally incur my wrath."

He indeed considers the Sun God behind Herbert, but that doesn’t mean He will lower Himself to this little mortal.

If He were to bow His head, it wouldn’t be something a Divine Favorer could manage - let Him personally step forward!

In reality, the God of Sand and Stone might prefer that the Sun God step forward.

If the Sun God personally stepped forward, this farce could end in a more dignified manner - He would step back and give face to the Sun God, which would allow everyone to save face.

If He were to leave just because of a few words from Herbert, the Divine Favorer, that would truly be a slap to His face.

Herbert also understands this little thought process of the God of Sand and Stone and isn’t going to trouble the Sun Goddess over such trivial matters.

A joke? Do I have such nerve?

Not to mention asking the Sun Goddess to step forward – I can’t even contact Her!

Usually, I just rely on Her to show off, to hold up a flag; but asking me to go to Her would just be giving Her the chance to fix me!

Besides.

How much is your dignity worth anyway?

And most importantly – Herbert never came for peaceful negotiations from the start.

Who wants to end things amicably!

If that’s the case, why have I laid so much groundwork, waiting for such an opportunity, what is it all for?

Boredom?

He appeared alone to intensify the conflict from a standpoint of justice.

No Divine shall renege on their word, and no mortal shall bow.

No one shall compromise, and no one shall retreat.

"Then what if they can never achieve it?"

After getting a cold reception from the God of Sand and Stone, Herbert remained composed, speaking softly:

"I can assure you, the Northern Lands are innocent, whether it’s the Witch Association, the Extreme Ice Sacred Land, or even the Kingdom Alliance, they’ve not hidden the ’criminals’ you seek."

"If you refuse to believe, I can even make an oath – not only by my own soul, but I’m willing to swear to the Sun God, proving everything I say is not false."

!

The God of Sand and Stone, upon hearing Herbert’s words, appeared a bit moved and gave him a deep look.

"You..."

Swearing to one’s worshiped god is the most binding oath any devotee can make.

Unless one desires to fall and be pursued by the whole Church, it will never be violated!

And Herbert’s certainty has a simple reason.

He can indeed guarantee – because those Beastmen, he himself hid them.

Does he not know where those people are?

Does he not know that these people of the Northern Lands are innocent?

And even if the oath were truly broken, it wouldn’t affect Herbert – because he is not a devotee of the Sun Goddess.

It’s like signing a contract, not only using someone else’s name but also stamping it incorrectly.

Looking back, even the damn contract itself – has over a hundred errors.

Though those errors don’t affect its compliance, it’s still excellent – but ultimately it will be found out.

How could the God of Sand and Stone have expected the one He painstakingly searched for to be standing right in front of Him?

Even with a righteous posture, openly engaging in high talk with Him.

When the criminal and enforcer stand together, even as the same person... friend, how shall you respond?

Of course, the God of Sand and Stone can’t respond.

He can only remain silent now, using silence to express His stance.

He could never admit He’s wrong.

There could never have been a second outcome from the start.

The wrong party can only be the mortal, not Him.

"Divine, even though you already know the truth, do you still refuse to admit your mistake?"

Herbert waited a moment, not receiving the answer he sought from the Divine.

"Such a pity..."

He seemed to sigh regretfully, shaking his head, murmuring in his heart, "I already gave you the chance."
