Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 444 I bet you'll win!

It wasn't until the headless corpse fell from the sky with a muffled thud that everyone belatedly came to their senses.

died?

He died like that?

No one could have imagined that, aside from the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life who voluntarily sacrificed themselves to protect the divine realm, the first deity to die would exit the stage in this way, just when everyone thought the battle was over.

The God of War initiated the provocation! He successfully drew the attention of the God of Emotions! The effect was outstanding!

The God of War leaps!

The God of War is sleeping!

Not to mention the original Shrek Seven Devils, who were their own people, even the seven original sin gods in the distance all showed expressions of disbelief.

It should be noted that even when they fought with Tang San before, they never intended to actually kill the god. At most, they would go all out during the fight, leaving it to fate whether their opponent could withstand it.

But Huo Yuhao was different. This guy directly ignited his life flame to deal with a second-level god, clearly aiming to take his life.

"What a madman."

The God of Pride murmured softly, watching Huo Yuhao slaughter him as easily as if he were killing a chick, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

It was as if they were instinctively afraid of the other party.

But just then, the alluring voice of the god of lust suddenly rang in his ears.

"Don't you think this is our opportunity?"

"Um?"

The God of Pride subconsciously looked to his side and saw that the God of Lust was also staring intently at Huo Yuhao, his body trembling uncontrollably just like Huo Yuhao's.

However, unlike his fear, the emotion contained in the eyes of the god of lust was excitement.

Is this guy excited about the God of Emotions killing deities?

The god of arrogance couldn't help but twitch his lips, but he wasn't too surprised.

Having known each other for so many years, they all knew each other's true nature. The power of the God of Lust was to allow people to indulge in their desires and do whatever they pleased. A guy like the God of Emotions, who recklessly disregarded the rules and used cruel methods, was exactly to her liking.

However, now was clearly not the time to care about such things. Seemingly attracted by the words of the God of Lust, he asked in a low voice.

"What do you mean by the opportunity you just mentioned?"

"It means exactly what it says."

The God of Lust said, "This is our last chance to bring down Tang San."

"Do you think the God of Emotions can do it? Although he has the potential to advance to God King, he is ultimately only a first-level god and cannot defeat Tang San."

The God of Arrogance frowned, glanced at Huo Yuhao subconsciously, and said with a hint of regret.

"Moreover, he killed the God of War in front of everyone. Tang San had every reason to kill him on the spot. You know, a first-level god facing a God King alone is tantamount to a death sentence."

The god of lust remained noncommittal: "What if we offer him assistance in this process?"

"You're crazy."

The God of Arrogance was startled and couldn't help but remind us, "Before merging with the Goddess of Life, Lord Destruction instructed us to obey Tang San's orders from now on."

"Yes, the master did say that."

The god of lust nodded, then suddenly changed the subject, asking in a calm tone.

"But will you obey? Obey the adults' instructions and follow Tang San's orders?"

"I"

The god of pride remained silent, his face filled with conflict.

To be fair, the God of Destruction's initial intention in saying these things was indeed for their own good. After all, Tang San's victory in this war was a foregone conclusion, and as the defeated party, their only option was to surrender in order to continue to exist in the God Realm.

But this doesn't mean Tang San will forgive and forget what they did before. On the contrary, if this guy really gains complete control of the God Realm, even if he doesn't attack them openly, he will definitely use all sorts of means to torment them in secret.

In the past, they might have thought it was better to live a miserable life than to die, and would have just accepted it, since resistance wouldn't have any real effect.

But now, Huo Yuhao's unexpected actions have shown them another option.

Since things won't go well either way, I might as well gamble my future and help Huo Yuhao defeat Tang San.

Thinking of this, the god of arrogance couldn't help but shake his head, pouring cold water on the situation once again.

"We alone are not enough. We can help Huo Yuhao, and Tang San can also have helpers. The Seven Elemental Gods are the victors in this war, and Tang San will definitely not treat them unfairly. For their own upcoming benefits, they will never sit idly by."

"Plus Tang San's remaining companions, the difference in combat strength between the two sides is too great. Even if we lend a hand, we have no chance of winning."

"You're wrong. The seven of us are enough."

Unexpectedly, the God of Lust interrupted him and retorted seriously.

"We have something they don't, something that can turn the tide of the war."

"What?" The God of Pride asked in confusion. Not only him, but the five original sin gods beside him also subconsciously perked up their ears.

"A desperate gamble."

The god of lust gave the answer in a low voice.

"The Elemental Gods were brought in by Rong Nianbing. Although they would help Tang San for their own benefit, they would never risk their lives for him. But we are different. With Lord Destruction gone, under Tang San's rule, our future is already predictable."

Looking at the six people who had fallen silent, she pursed her lips and uttered her final words.

"Whether we remain destitute in some corner of the divine realm, watching the victors enjoy everything, or whether we risk our lives to drag them from their thrones into the abyss and perish together, now depends entirely on us."

"."

silence.

No one spoke, but everyone's eyes held a certain intent.

Perhaps the god of lust secretly used his own power to make his words more persuasive, but what does it matter?

The fact that they can be persuaded means that they do indeed have similar thoughts in their hearts, doesn't it?

After a long silence, the God of Pride spoke softly: "Are you sure the God of Emotions can withstand our power?"

The god of lust shook his head: "I'm not sure, so I plan to observe further."

As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding bolt of lightning crashed down from the sky and struck Huo Yuhao's body.

The lightning from the heavens instantly tore his fragile body apart. The crimson blood that had just gushed from the wound was evaporated into nothingness by the high-intensity energy fluctuations.

Under the shocked or fearful gazes of the crowd, Huo Yuhao stood hunched over, his body crackling with electricity, his body convulsing violently as he let out a painful growl.

This is divine retribution.

This is the price of slaying a god.

After an unknown amount of time, the lightning gradually faded, revealing Huo Yuhao's body, which was already torn and bleeding.

However, despite Huo Yuhao's sudden and severe injuries, no one stepped forward to punish him.

The reason is none other than Huo Yuhao's terrifying combat power.

Not only the second-level deities like Oscar, but even first-level deities like Zhou Weiqing and the Elemental God were hesitant at this moment.

Compared to those second-level gods, they were indeed confident that they could withstand Huo Yuhao's mental attacks, but the problem was that the divine punishment was not only aimed at Huo Yuhao alone!

Under the rules of the divine realm, any deity who attempts to kill another deity will not escape divine retribution.

Even if they were to kill Huo Yuhao, they would certainly be severely injured themselves. If they were to be struck by lightning at this moment, they would likely perish together with him.

No one wanted to become the second victim to perish alongside Huo Yuhao at this crucial juncture when victory was just around the corner.

Without prior arrangement, they all turned to Tang San for help, hoping that the last remaining God King could come up with a solution.

But what could Tang San do?

Having used the Asura Blood Sword several times in succession during the battle with the God of Destruction, he had also reached his limit. Even if he was not afraid of the strength Huo Yuhao displayed, he still needed to worry about the divine retribution he would face for killing the opponent.

But he also knew that he absolutely could not back down or compromise at this time. If he could not show a tough attitude, his prestige in the God Realm would definitely plummet.

He was about to rightfully become the King of Gods and the ruler of the divine realm, but suddenly this huge trouble has arisen.

And all of this is because of him!

It's all because of that guy Huo Yuhao!!!

"Huo Yuhao!!! Are you really going to become my enemy over a soul beast!?"

Unable to conceal his ferocious killing intent any longer, Tang San's eyes were as sinister as a venomous snake ready to devour its prey.

"Everything I did was just to test you on behalf of Wu Tong. Now, all your achievements are thanks to my guidance, yet you choose to betray me!?"

Although Dai Mubai's death grieved him greatly, he could easily ask Ji Dong and Lie Yan for help to revive him later. In fact, not only them, but even Oscar and Ning Rongrong could do it. So, the most important thing now is to find a way to deal with Huo Yuhao.

Currently, his Asura God Power is exhausted, making it impossible for him to defeat his opponent in a short time. Moreover, Huo Yuhao has already burned his life flame, cutting off his own escape route.

He can win simply by stalling for time; there's really no need to risk his life against a madman.

boom--

However, what responded to his words was Oscar's head, which exploded like Dai Mubai's, and Huo Yuhao's icy gaze and words that made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"This is not the answer I want to hear."

"Oscars!!!"

Ning Rongrong screamed.

Watching her husband die right before her eyes, she seemed to completely collapse, collapsing to the ground, tears streaming uncontrollably from her bloodshot eyes.

She never imagined that what Tang San had asked her to do to Qiankun Wenqing Valley as a small test for them would bring such terrible consequences so many years later.

"Last chance—"

Huo Yuhao didn't even glance at the dead Oscar; his gaze fell on Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong instead.

"Who did this?!"

From that deafening question, thunder struck once more.

Seeing the white light that once again obscured their vision, the gods of original sin exchanged a complicated look.

After a brief silence, the God of Lust spoke softly: "It seems there's already a conclusion regarding whether he can withstand our power, isn't there?"

The god of pride was the first to respond.

He sighed softly, as if he had made some difficult decision.

"Count me in as revenge for Lord Destruction."

"Me too."

The God of Greed smirked: "The thought of dragging Tang San down with me when he's at his most triumphant makes me eager to do it."

"Now that you mention it, I'm curious to see what kind of expression that guy will make, and I'll count myself in."

"I don't share your twisted sense of humor, but I want the God of Destruction who betrayed us, who betrayed Lord Destruction, to pay the price!"

Recalling Zhou Weiqing's sudden betrayal and the defeat he had suffered, a look of disdain appeared on the face of the God of Jealousy: "Does such a guy even deserve to win?"

It was unclear whether they were trying to convince others or themselves. Despite their seemingly absurd and trivial reasons, their eyes grew increasingly resolute amidst the cacophony of their discussions.

Perhaps, from beginning to end, they were just looking for an excuse to deceive themselves before taking any further risks.

Soon, as the murmurs faded away, the six of them turned to look at the God of Lust.

"It seems everyone has made their decisions?" the God of Lust asked with a half-smile.

"Yeah, I just wanted to pull off another big heist without really thinking about it."

"Tell me honestly, have you been secretly using your twisted abilities to influence us again?"

Who knows?

The god of lust shrugged and couldn't help but chuckle, his voice full of pleasure.

"Then—let's all happily journey to hell together!"

At the same time, Ning Rongrong's body was trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's ferocious and violent appearance, she opened her mouth tremblingly, but had no courage to say the answer.

She doesn't want to die.

Even with Tang San, a god-king, standing beside her, Ning Rongrong felt no sense of security whatsoever.

She dared not imagine what kind of torment she would suffer if she told Huo Yuhao the truth.

Realizing that things couldn't continue like this, Tang San quickly looked at Zhou Weiqing, the God of Destruction, beside him and spoke in a low voice.

"Help me stop him. I need to control the central hub of the divine realm and can't leave for the time being. He has already ignited the flame of life and can't hold on for long."

Zhou Weiqing was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.

"good!"

He summoned his twin Hercules hammers, took a deep breath, and shot towards Huo Yuhao.

But before he could even get close to Huo Yuhao, a sense of crisis exploded in his heart.

Without a moment to think, he instinctively crossed the two hammers over his chest to block the attack from the god of arrogance, but he was sent flying backward as a result.

"God of Pride, you want to get involved in this too!?"

Seeing this sudden turn of events, Tang San's face showed shock and anger, and he questioned sharply.

"Have you forgotten the dying words of the God of Destruction?!"

"Hahaha, even at a time like this, you're still putting on such a high-and-mighty act!"

The God of Arrogance didn't pursue, but instead laughed and retreated, arriving beside Huo Yuhao: "Tang San, Lord Destruction was absolutely right when he said you're a hypocrite! The God Realm must not be handed over to someone like you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the seven original sin gods arrived beside Huo Yuhao, with the leader, the god of lust, nodding slightly to him.

"Greetings to you, God of Emotions, your courage is admirable, so we have decided to lend you a hand."

Huo Yuhao frowned: "This is between Tang San and me, you don't need to get involved."

However, before he could finish speaking, the god of lust interrupted him mercilessly.

"But even if you burned your divine position, you couldn't face so many people alone, could you?"

She said, "Let's make a deal."

"...What kind of deal?"

"Our strength is almost gone, but our essence remains, and you, who possess it, will have the power to turn the tide of battle."

"You're crazy."

Huo Yuhao refused without hesitation: "You will all die if you do that."

"It's just a matter of probability."

The God of Lust glanced indifferently at the golden-red flames on his body.

"And if we're talking about being crazy, aren't you just as crazy?"

When she met Huo Yuhao's azure eyes, a similar madness appeared in her own.

"You seem to have misunderstood something. We're not doing this out of pity for you, but because we don't want to miss this good opportunity to avenge Lord Destruction, and..."

As she said this, she turned her head to look at Zhou Weiqing, the God of Destruction, her words filled with boundless hatred.

"To bring destruction to the traitors, nothing more."

Huo Yuhao was speechless for a while before asking the question again.

"...If you have this power, why did you choose me?"

"Because even we cannot simultaneously withstand the power of the seven deadly sins."

"But you are different. You have the strong willpower to withstand two divine punishments. I trust my own judgment. You are the one most likely to defeat Tang San."

The God of Lust suddenly looked back at Huo Yuhao, his gaze ferocious.

"I'm putting my life in your hands; I bet you'll win!"
