Chapter 1118 - 525: The Death of the Divine

Chapter 1118: Chapter 525: The Death of the Divine

"If you could truly abide by the bet honestly, all my previous arrangements would fall apart."

"The Northern Lands will regain peace, and you will free yourself from manipulation, able to leave with dignity."

"No one will be harmed, and everyone will find happiness."

Herbert looked at the Divine incarnation, whose expression had completely stiffened, and shook his head, sighing: "But why are you unwilling to accept it honestly?"

"God of Sand and Stone, you have truly disappointed me."

The mortal condemned the Divine, sighing with deep regret.

To outsiders, this scene seemed somewhat comical, extremely illogical, practically challenging the world’s universal values.

But at this moment, no one found anything wrong with Herbert’s words.

As the mortal who had placed trust in the other party but was ultimately let down by the Divine, no one was more qualified to say these words than him.

And after sighing with a "sigh," Herbert’s performance was basically over, his expression gradually returning to calm, he said lightly:

"Fortunately, I was prepared and had made arrangements ahead of time, preparing for the worst-case scenario."

I tricked you; from the very beginning, this was the only plan.

Herbert never thought he would fail, and he was sure the God of Sand and Stone would resort to extremes when unable to play fair.

To prevent the God of Sand and Stone from overturning the table in anger after failure, causing irrevocable consequences, Herbert made two preparations.

The first was to communicate with the Church of the God of Martyrdom through Mist Monastery’s channels beforehand, succeeding in meeting His Divine Favorer in the Mortal Realm, revealing his entire plan.

As one of the leaders of the Justice Faction in the absence of the Sun God, the God of Martyrdom already had a very negative impression of the God of Sand and Stone, this unstable factor.

Chaos is the breeding ground for evil.

And the God of Sand and Stone’s reckless actions this time created widespread chaos, giving the Evil Faction an opportunity, practically handing knives to that crowd!

Even without Herbert’s plan, the God of Martyrdom would find a chance to punish this brainless fool used as a tool.

But Herbert’s plan provided Him with a justified reason, so why not?

Although the God of Martyrdom was unsure if the God of Sand and Stone would indeed act as despicably as this young Godslayer claimed, He still chose to follow Herbert’s arrangement, waiting outside the Divine Kingdom of the God of Sand and Stone.

If things didn’t develop as Herbert predicted, then the God of Martyrdom would put away His Divine Artifact and have a good talk with the God of Sand and Stone in the Divine Kingdom.

But if the results were indeed as he claimed... Martyr

Then, in this world, perhaps there would be one more martyr with a wooden stake pierced through their back.

"I’ve gone to such lengths to take care of you, you can’t still act like a big baby complaining about this and that after suffering a loss, can you?"

All of Herbert’s preparations were undoubtedly open strategies, all of them were public and transparent.

He didn’t even deliberately mislead with words, just simply left open the possibility for Him to break the agreement without pressure.

Blame can only lie with the God of Sand and Stone’s excessive greed.

Wanting to maintain His divine dignity while also trying to retreat unscathed.

Where in this world is there such a thing?

"..."

The God of Sand and Stone remained silent, unable to find words to refute for the moment.

In the current situation, reconciliation was completely off the table for both, and Herbert couldn’t care less about the other’s feelings.

"Ha-ha, oh right, I almost forgot to thank you."

He chuckled lightly, winked at the other, and teased: "Fortunately, your reaction wasn’t unexpected, didn’t give me a chance to taste the bitterness of failure."

"Now, please face reality, and quietly embrace the end that belongs to you."

Please, honestly go die.

Killing someone means also destroying their heart.

Destroy the heart fiercely!

As for why Herbert schemed against the God of Sand and Stone, what the real reason was... to avenge the innocent mortals affected in the Northern Lands and bring them justice?

Does that even need to be asked?

Definitely not.

This can be one of many reasons, but it will never be the true reason.

Herbert had already said from the start, he wasn’t that noble, let alone great.

He always acted for himself.

Because of past experiences, Herbert detested when others showed malice towards him.

He could tolerate it if it was just covert opposition, temporarily pretending not to notice.

But as long as the other party took action, Herbert would retaliate decisively——not equally, but absolutely, even exceptionally intense responses.

Haven’t you always been seeking our prophecy, my location, and even arrogantly implicated innocent ones?

Fine, I accept your provocation.

Aren’t you so powerful? Aren’t you so mighty, so high above?

Then I will make you completely understand what you really are.

As long as Herbert had enough strength, he was always very pragmatic, never harboring a grudge overnight.

For there was never a grudge that could last until the next day.

If you don’t kill the snake, it will bite you back.

Since the decision was made to act, then it’s best to get it done in one go, never leaving the other a chance to retaliate in the future.

All the schemes and calculations, the real purpose was only one, and that was to completely crush the God of Sand and Stone, never giving Him a chance to counterattack.
