Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue

Chapter 570 Wolf Destroyed
"I understand how you feel." So what if your home was ransacked? How many people in your family died?

The body forged from the gold of life grants Electrolux the ability to control life force, allowing him to easily neutralize the rampaging destructive energy around him.

On the ruins of this city overrun by spirit beasts, the two faced each other across the broken walls. The wandering spirit beasts were scavenging for scraps of food left behind by humans among the rubble. For these spirit beasts, who were used to eating raw meat and drinking blood, the food supplies that had not been moved in time were a rare delicacy.

At this moment, however, all the soul beasts were drawn to the rich life force emanating from Ilex. To them, this walking, humanoid being of gold was like the brightest beacon in the darkness. Although the surging destructive power around Wang Dong instilled in them an instinctive fear, their innate greed still drove them to gradually gather around, saliva dripping from between their sharp teeth.

Electrolux didn't even spare a glance for these soul beasts; his gaze remained fixed on Wang Dong.

"You understand?" Wang Dong suddenly revealed a mocking smile. "Do you understand the pain of watching your family members die one by one, even losing your blood relatives?"

You've come to the right person! Kid, trying to outdo me in misery? You've really messed up!
“Back then, my lover stabbed me in the back. She conspired with her lover to frame me for treason, branded me a heretic, and killed all 367 members of my family in front of me, from the elderly to infants who couldn’t even speak yet, not a single one was spared… Now, do you still want to compete with me?” Electrox temporarily omitted the bloody past of beating up the entire plane, but Wang Dong could still see the madness and despair that had accumulated over countless years in the depths of those eyes.

"How...how much?" Wang Dong stared wide-eyed in shock. With her limited brain capacity, it was hard for her to imagine how someone could be living such a miserable life. The sheer volume of information instantly left her mind blank; in short, her brain was overloaded and temporarily shut down.

Putting aside the fact that she wasn't stabbed in the back by the person she liked (Long), but rather that Long was tricked by her father and stabbed, she used her slow-working brain to calculate and found that even if her whole family plus Dai Mubai and the others died ten times, it wouldn't be as many people as the number of people who died in the Electrolux family.

And he didn't kill her in front of her... except for Tang San. But Tang San was an exception; that fake man's death was a good death.

"So how...did you get through it?" Wang Dong was stunned for a long time before she managed to squeeze out this question. She simply couldn't imagine how strong a mental fortitude it would take to remain rational after experiencing such a tragedy.

To be able to manage this so well requires an incredibly strong mental fortitude.
“Uh, well… I didn’t let them go either. I wiped out over 90% of the powerful beings in my plane, reducing the human population in the entire plane by half, and completely severing many traditions…” Electrox’s expression suddenly became subtle.

Wait, is this even human language? Wang Dong felt his worldview completely shattered.

"Don't you ever follow my example. My family is innocent. You know what kind of people your family members are. Almost every one of them deserved to die. Besides, you can't learn from them."

That's really heartbreaking.

No, is that the point? The point is, how many people did this seemingly righteous guy, full of light and divine aura, kill? What does it mean to wipe out 90% of the human elites, directly reducing the population by half?
How come it's even more sinister than those evil spirit masters?

"I told you long ago that I'm not a good person, but you wouldn't believe me and insisted on clinging to Di Tian." Now you know, right? Compared to him, Di Tian is practically a saint.

"She actually calls you teacher? Does she even know what you've done?" Wang Dong couldn't help but shudder. Just what kind of outrageous people had gathered around Mu Xing? They were all more insane than the last; calling them perverts wouldn't be an exaggeration.

“How could I not know? She used to attack me about this every day for a while! But she still called me ‘teacher’.” Electrox knew what she was thinking at a glance. “Are you particularly eager to purge the court of corrupt officials right now?” He was almost reluctant to expose the truth. The cow cat wasn’t some pure white moonlight. Although she had more milk than cow, she still had a cunning side. To be precise, she was chaotic and neutral.

"what?"

“Excuse me, I almost forgot. You may not have the concept of a ruler and his subjects, but her patience is limited.” Electrolux had achieved his goal; he had successfully diverted Wang Dong’s attention, and at least now her grief over losing her loved one was overshadowed by the shock.

"So, can we calm down and talk this out now?"

“What do you expect me to say to someone like you?” Wang Dong’s tone suddenly turned cold. “I can’t understand why an executioner like you could possess such a pure aura of light.”

"Your family isn't even all dead yet, and you were already thinking about destroying everything." Electrolux took a step closer with a cold smile, his gray pupils reflecting Wang Dong's pale face. "So, is it so hard to understand why I, who witnessed all my loved ones die innocently and tragically, wanted to take the whole world down with me?"

“Wasn’t my brother innocent? He was only born a short while ago…” Wang Dong’s voice suddenly choked up, her chaotic thoughts leaving her grasping at this last straw. She had clearly sensed the newborn baby’s breath cease. No matter how many sins the parents committed, a newborn life is always innocent. That child hadn’t even had a chance to become a beneficiary of any benefit, hadn’t even had the opportunity to open his eyes and see the world.

Electrox's expression softened subtly for a moment, but he quickly noticed something amiss. "As far as I know, human deities... let's categorize you into this category for now, also require ten months of pregnancy. Given the difference in the flow of time between the divine realm and the mortal realm, is it reasonable that your mother gave birth after only a few days of pregnancy?"

Is this reasonable? Wang Dong froze abruptly, the purplish-black power of destruction around her momentarily halting. She suddenly remembered that the God of Destruction had personally promised not to make things difficult for a pregnant woman. Based on her understanding of that God-King, he was not one to go back on his word, so there must be some hidden reason behind this.

"You'd rather doubt the God of Destruction than your biological father? Don't forget, not long ago, he threatened you with your mother's safety." Although Electrox didn't know exactly what had happened in the God Realm, even if it was the God of Destruction who did it, he was more inclined to believe that Tang San had used some forbidden method.

Wang Dong froze, as if struck by lightning. Her initial suspicion of the God of Destruction stemmed from a lingering, pathetic hope: that even if Tang San didn't love her as a tool, he at least genuinely cared for her mother. She had left the God Realm at a young age, her memories only etched with the image of her parents' deep affection. Even after Tang San used her in various ways, she never questioned his feelings for her mother. Even when Tang San used Xiao Wu as leverage in that duel, she dismissed it as a tactic to distract her.

However, we can't blame her entirely. After all, the line "Resurrect, my love!" is simply too classic, having long been the most popular legend in the Douluo Continent. In the various theaters originally belonging to the Douluo Three Kingdoms, the scene of Xiao Wu's sacrifice and Tang San's reversal of life and death has been performed countless times. Now, thinking back, perhaps those vividly depicted expressions of deep affection are merely wishful thinking and embellishments by later generations?

Suddenly, the surrounding light dimmed without warning. Despite the clear blue sky, the ruins seemed to be shrouded in an invisible shadow. Low-level soul beasts scattered and fled instantly, while soul beasts that were over ten thousand years old slowly gathered around.

Wang Dong instantly became alert. This strange change in light and the oppressive aura were clearly the power of a domain, and a dark domain at that. She instinctively thought of the black dragon, but the aura emanating from it was completely different.

From the shadows, a colossal beast gracefully emerged. It was a giant tiger, entirely black, its eight-meter-long body bulging with muscles, its flawless fur gleaming like satin in the dim light. Most striking was its mutated long tail, composed of countless joints, ending in chilling barbs, which was now held high and swaying slightly.

The giant tiger's blood-red eyes gleamed with a fiery light, and the misty black "king" character pattern on its forehead was faintly visible. It did not adopt any attack posture, but instead sat like a lazy big cat dozens of meters away. However, the innate sense of oppression made all the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts around it unconsciously lower their heads and retreat.

“Dark Demon Evil God Tiger…” Although Wang Dong loathed and hated Tang San, she was born into the Clear Sky Sect and had naturally heard since childhood about which soul beasts produced Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer soul rings, among which his fourth soul ring came from a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The very existence of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is a paradox of the laws of survival. This ferocious soul beast cannot grow through conventional cultivation; it can only rapidly become stronger by devouring the soul power of other soul beasts or human soul masters. This predatory instinct means that wherever they appear, they will immediately trigger an attack from all the other soul beasts, who will kill them before they can grow strong enough.

However, the giant tiger before them was unusually relaxed. Judging from the wary demeanor of the surrounding ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, its cultivation level was definitely more than what it appeared to be. Soul beasts' intuition is always accurate. The fact that these ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts would rather retreat than attack it en masse could only mean that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's strength had reached a level that made them not even entertain the slightest thought of attacking it.

The Dark Demon Tiger, as recorded in ancient texts, is said to be a monstrous creature born from the possession of a white tiger by an evil god. Its originally pure and holy light attribute was twisted into darkness, and it sprouted corrupted wings and a scorpion-like tail from its back.

The ferocious beast slowly approaching showed no fear of the second-level divine pressure emanating from Wang Dong. It raised its jet-black tiger claws, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly. The ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts that had been watching had already retreated far away, not daring to even breathe loudly.

What's most bizarre is its posture as it moves. Instead of the tension of a predator, it moves with the composure of a monarch surveying his territory. The Evil God Hook swings rhythmically, drawing tiny spatial cracks in the air.

As the Dark Demon Tiger approached, its form gradually shrank. Its once enormous eight-meter-long body slowly contracted, its sky-covering black wings slowly dissipated, and its signature evil god-like hooked tail degenerated into a simple tiger tail. When it finally landed on the open ground between the two, it had transformed into a large cat only one and a half meters long, its jet-black fur gleaming like satin. Its previous ferocious aura had vanished, replaced by an unexpected cuteness.

It completely ignored Wang Dong, facing Electrolux directly, and gracefully squatted down. This unusually docile posture was quite different from the legendary ferocious and violent Dark Demon God Tiger.

Electrox thoughtfully examined the unusual Dark Demon God Tiger before him. "Could it be that all god-kings born from humans have the peculiar fetish of possessing soul beasts?" Perhaps it was because of his natural affinity for felines, or perhaps it was because he had learned from Mu Xing that this second-generation evil god-king had once been a magician, Electrox maintained a subtly friendly attitude towards Ji Dong.

Wang Dong suddenly realized what was happening and his eyes widened: "Uncle Ji Dong?"

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger—or rather, Ji Dong's avatar—immediately displayed a clear expression of disgust; he had absolutely no liking for Tang San's family. However, the feline expression was far too complex for Wang Dong; she completely failed to grasp its meaning, only relentlessly pressing her for details about what had happened to her mother and brother.

Black Tiger slapped its tail irritably against the ground, finally letting out a helpless sigh, although it was indeed a bit strange for a feline to do that.

He knew Tang San wasn't human, at most a hybrid of human and beast, a vegetable. He also knew Tang San had low moral standards, but he never imagined they would be this low. Influenced by the instincts of the tiger-like soul beast possessing him, he irritably licked his front paws, trying to organize his thoughts.

But how could he describe this behavior of "having his pregnant wife use her life force to give birth to the child, then using the bloodline energy emitted by the child at birth to break through the seal set by the god of destruction, and then abandoning his dying wife and child to escape"?
This is truly outrageous! He and Lieyan wanted a child but could never have one, while Tang San, with two children, could do whatever he wanted.

This is not fair!

However, in order to salvage the reputation of his predecessor, the God of Destruction, Ji Dong took a deep breath, "Your father made your mother exhaust her life force to give birth to your brother, and then used your brother's umbilical cord blood to break the seal set by Destruction before running away alone. During the escape, his physical body was damaged, causing the state of his dual divine positions to collapse, and then your mother exploded..."

“That’s pretty explosive.” Electrolux glanced at Wang Dong, who had crashed again.

"Hey bro, I get you!" Ji Dong ignored the trembling Wang Dong. "If I were you, I'd want to destroy the entire plane too."

Electrolux was flattered; this was the first time someone had publicly acknowledged his actions. Look at the mess this has made, how embarrassing! It's clear this evil god-king is also on the path of a tyrant, or perhaps it's just a case of mutual respect between mages.

He felt that ever since Tang San began frequently interfering in the lower realms, the God Kings seemed to have broken with convention and started interfering in the affairs of the Douluo plane one after another. However, if they were there to help their side, it wouldn't be unacceptable.

I have exams late next month, I really want to finish them before I can update again, sob sob sob.
