In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 499 No one is more merciful

"Hmph! Whoever you are, young man, do you dare to fight me at sea?"

Sensing that Wang Zhao's aura was becoming increasingly terrifying, the Sea God glanced at the believers on the island below and, to avoid any problems with his faith power, shouted at Wang Zhao.

It is worth mentioning that He spoke these words aloud, so that everyone on Poseidon Island could hear them. The people then knelt before the sea god again, proclaiming His mercy and love.

After all, the aftermath of the divine war was something they couldn't withstand. Under the power of gods, both ordinary people and soul masters were nothing but ants. The Sea God's move was truly a manipulation of people's hearts.

Wang Zhao glanced down, receiving a barrage of fearful, disgusted, and devilish stares before revealing a cold smile.

"The scenery here is beautiful, and there's a large audience. Why would I want to change locations with you?"

"you!"

Seeing that he was not provoked, the sea god's face darkened slightly, and he tightened his grip on the golden trident, as if he were making a crucial decision.

"Evil!"

Just then, Poseidon, far away, channeled all her soul power and finally managed to break through the water prison, letting her voice travel across the sky above Seagod Island.

Her shout was, of course, directed at Wang Zhao, who had challenged her lifelong faith.

"Whatever your purpose, do you, a powerful god-level expert, really not care about the lives of ordinary people?"

"Ordinary people?"

This time, Wang Zhao actually paid attention to Poseidon. He looked at the stunningly beautiful high priestess in red with amusement, then casually pointed to the island below.

"Look at their expressions. I haven't shown any intention to harm them in the slightest, have I? Yet they all seem to want to tear me apart. Tsk tsk. Since they're destined to be my enemies, why should I care about them? Besides, even if I did, they would only attribute my mercy to their Sea God, wouldn't they? Do you think I should do something that benefits others?"

As soon as Wang Zhao said this, the eyes of the people on Poseidon Island changed. Many of those who had been staring at him fiercely turned their heads away silently.

Poseidon then said somewhat aggrievedly:

"Our Seagod Island is filled with believers of the Seagod. You, accompanied by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, invaded our Seagod Island without a word. Do you have any right to do so?"

"Reasonable? Ha, how can you say I'm unreasonable?"

As Wang Zhao spoke, he turned to look at the sea god again.

"Poseidon, do you really think that my coming to you today is solely for personal gain, without any grudges to settle?"

"What do you mean...?"

Poseidon narrowed his eyes, suddenly having an ominous premonition. He wanted to stop Wang Zhao from speaking and start a war on Poseidon Island.

In any case, Poseidon Island is just a leaf on the vast ocean. Its combat power can be enhanced by the sea, just like on the naval battlefield.

However, Wang Zhao then spoke up.

His voice was like a grand bell or a great tripod.

"People of Seagod Island, could you possibly imagine that this Seagod, who is so righteous and noble in each of your hearts, is actually a treacherous and hypocritical god hiding in the shadows, plotting to destroy His human lineage?!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, the Sea God could no longer remain calm.

He immediately realized that this strange young man in front of him really knew everything, including the fact that His true form had conspired with the Asura God and several other gods to plot against the Angel God.

That's right, the "angel god" here refers to the first generation of angel gods!

Although it's unknown where Wang Zhao discovered the secrets of the divine realm, the truth that had long been buried by "time" (emphasis added)...

In short, the first Angel God did indeed perish in the divine realm. He wasn't killed by their own hands, but it was close enough. Because, under their relentless pursuit, the Angel God was ultimately forced to throw himself into a cosmic temporal turbulence, disappearing long ago. He must be utterly dead.

After murdering the Angel God, the Sea God and the Asura God also set their sights on the inheritance of the Angel God's lineage on Douluo Star. The Asura God happened to have his eye on a successor named Tang San, and thus had the idea of ​​using this generation of Angel God successors as stepping stones for his own succession. The Sea God naturally also wanted to get involved.

As for the feud between the Asura God, the Sea God, and the Angel God, the Asura God harbored murderous intent towards the Angel God, a promising young competitor, due to issues of divine authority and the path of cultivation; while the Sea God had some personal conflicts with the Angel God, and their conflict could even be traced back to a dispute over human beliefs a thousand years ago...

But let's not dwell on that and get back to the original topic.

"Whether it's bullshit or not, you know in your heart."

Wang Zhao spoke calmly to the Sea God, then looked around, his gaze sweeping over Poseidon, the seven Holy Pillar Douluos, and the crowds of Sea God Island below.

"As for you, I never thought I could distort the image of the Sea God in your hearts with just a few words, or reveal His true face to you bunch of almost hopeless fools."

"However, having said all that, I might as well spare you some mercy."

Wang Zhao gave Poseidon one last, deep look, meeting her slightly bewildered gaze. He chuckled inwardly, but outwardly remained composed, leaving her with a final, unspoken remark:

"You don't need to be grateful."

Having said that, he suddenly sprang up, appearing tens of thousands of miles away on the sea under the extremely vigilant gaze of the sea god, and laughed loudly:

"Poseidon, come to battle!"

"..."

In fact, Wang Zhao originally did not intend to let the war between the gods and the sea god affect ordinary people because he wanted to completely subdue the sea god island and gain more benefits. In addition, he was not a real evil person.

The reason he pulled this stunt was simply because he couldn't stand his own good intentions... well, they weren't really good intentions, since he couldn't be considered a good person at all, just a superior with some humanity; he just didn't want the Sea God to take all the glory and righteousness while he reaped a huge wave of hatred, that's all.

If the Sea God takes all the reins of justice, even if he destroys this Sea God's divine will later, it won't be conducive to his quick subjugation of Sea God Island.

Now, after Wang Zhao's elaborate scheme, in the eyes of all the people of Poseidon Island, including Poseidon, his visit to the island was not merely for conquest, but rather had a legitimate reason for attacking.

He has a secret personal grudge against the Sea God, who doesn't seem to be as righteous and upright as he appears.

This is a legitimate name.

After instilling this concept in the minds of the people, Wang Zhao took the initiative to go to the sea before the Sea God, shifted the battlefield, and showed mercy.

In this way, even if Wang Zhao defeats the sea god they have always worshipped and returns to subdue them, they may have grievances, but they will not resist to the death.
