Chapter 573: "Justice"
By the time Austin reached the Dream Realm, this world had completely collapsed under Gu Nan's power.
With his current Tier 13 laws, it was way too easy to destroy a semi-plane. Although there was a Kenneth of the same level resisting him, destroying something was much easier than protecting it.
Having lost the Dream Realms protection, the Ruler of Nightmares became even weaker than other gods of the same level. In just the blink of an eye, hed already died from Gu Nan's punches.
Up to this point, most of the World of Gods thirteen greater gods had died, and all of them died at Gu Nans hands.
Among the greater gods still alive todaybesides the four top-tier greater gods from the two factionsthe only lucky survivor was Eugene.
Austin's figure slowly appeared in front of Gu Nan, followed by Dark Lady Daisy and the God of Death. Their gazes were cold, but moreso, were filled with resolve.
The deaths of so many greater gods did not make them want to flee. On the contrary, it just made them more determined to kill this Evil God.
At this point, there was actually no need for the two sides to converse. The conflict had already reached a point where one side must die for the other to survive. Thus, words had completely lost their meaning here.
Austin was the first to strike, filled with regret for the loss of his sister, hatred for the Evil God, and mercy for this world.
As the incarnation of holy light, he had reason to eliminate all evil for this world.
The holy sword sliced through the void and arrived before Gu Nan in the blink of an eye. Austin wasnt expecting to kill Gu Nan with one sword; he just wanted to stop Gu Nan from escaping.
Even Jiu Po had to remain on the defensive for a while when faced with the three gods combined might, so he couldn't think of any reason for Gu Nan to confront them head-on.
However, he was destined to be wrong this time, because Gu Nan had no intention of dodging and just stood still.
The holy sword seemed to fall slowly yet quickly, but before it could reach Gu Nan, it seemed to have entered a muddy sludge. Its speed suddenly slowed down until the attack completely disappeared.
This time, Gu Nan did not use the Evil God physique. He only used the power of laws to completely engulf the holy sword.
"Tier 14!" Daisy exclaimed with some incredulousness from behind Austin, having witnessed everything just now.
Its only been around ten years since Gu Nan ascended to a greater god, yet hes already on an equal footing with me in the blink of an eye?
Baal found it even more unbelievablebecause he had just fought against Gu Nan, and he was very sure that the opponent at that time was definitely not at this level!
Did he just advance?
Austin stared at Gu Nan silently, then slowly said after a moment, "We may have made a mistake. It seems Evil Gods grow by killing gods."
After hearing Austin's explanation, Daisy and Baal suddenly exchanged a glance and finally understood the secret behind all this. But what followed was the fear and killing intent one felt towards their natural enemy.
Gods and Evil Gods were indeed two utterly incompatible existences.
After Gu Nan killed the Ruler of Nightmares, his Evil Value reached Tier 14s standard. His laws and physical body began to advance simultaneously, continuously moving towards Tier 14s level.
But his breakthrough wasnt instantaneous this time. Rather, it was a rapid and visible process.
Gu Nan could feel himself becoming stronger with each passing second. This feeling was enough to overwhelm an ordinary person, but Gu Nan could still remain clearminded.
"I said it beforeyou guys are already too late." Gu Nan cracked his neck, his bones creaking.
The next instant, before the three could react, Gu Nan appeared directly in front of Baal and threw a strong punch at his stomach.
Baal had been on the highest alert for a long time, and without any delay, endless death energy immediately surged forth, trying to block Gu Nan for an instant.
This decision was no different from that of Nature Goddess Daphne. As long as he could block Gu Nan for an instant, it would be enough to get Baal out of the danger zone.
More importantly, there were two companions beside him this time. The split-second that the death energy stopped Gu Nan was more than enough time for them to attack.
But Baal didn't expect for Gu Nan's fist to break through the death energy without any hindrance. He seemed as if completely unaffected and directly hit Baal with a punch.
No one could withstand a single punch from Gu Nan, and this iron law was also effective on the God of Death.
So Baal's divine body burst like a watermelon, and the law of death exploded instantly. The terrifying shockwave even threw both Austin and Daisy away.
After countless law fragments landed on the ground, only Gu Nan was still standing in his original position, while Baal had his divine body destroyed and lost part of his Godhead.
Even for a Tier 14 god like Baal, the loss of a divine bodys worth of Godhead was still enough to make his heart ache.
Austin didn't say a word, but the holy sword in his hand reappeared, slashing straight towards Gu Nan's back, while a golden scale appeared in midair and landed directly on Gu Nan's head.
He already regarded Gu Nan as a true adversary and used everything at his disposal to deal with Gu Nan. Even Jiu Po suffered losses from this move earlier.
Even if Jiu Po later learned about the existence of "justice", he still didnt have an effective countermeasure for it and could only passively hold Austin back.
All the way until God Emperor Heaven fell, Jiu Po was actually the one being suppressed by Austin, and only after suppressing Jiu Po did the other party deal with Emperor Zhao.
However, the situation was different when it came to Gu Nan.
The moment the golden scale fell down, one end was already filled with dense holy light, and the other end began to crazily absorb Gu Nan's law of shadows.
This was one of the applications of "justice". Austin's own law of holy light was exchanged for an equivalent amount of the other party's laws, binding both to the scale and rendering them unusable.
He was the only Tier 15 greater god in the world, so by relying on his massive reserve of laws that surpassed everyone else, this move of Austin's was invincible.
Gu Nan raised his head. As soon as the golden scale started absorbing the shadows, his body suddenly swayed, and his whole body became part of the shadows.
For the Tier 14 Gu Nan, turning his own body into shadows was tantamount to becoming one with the law of shadows.
Austin immediately felt a huge obstacle to the scales absorption of shadowsbecause Gu Nan himself affected the will of shadows itself, making it possible for this law to resist "justice".
If it was any other greater god, Austin would definitely persist to the end and directly seal the opponent inside the golden scale.
But Gu Nan was different. His physical body was so powerful that not even Austin could afford to pay the equivalent power necessary to seal it. The reason justice was justice was because Austin himself must also abide by the rules.
Moreover, because Gu Nan was protected by "justice", no one could hurt him in this state, not unless they broke the golden scale first.
Thus, Austin had no choice but to withdraw "justice". At the very least, he would not use this method to deal with Gu Nan again.
But there was one question Austin couldnt figure outwhy was the other party so familiar with "justice"?
