DD2-Chapter 342: The Punishment Began, Tang San Was Anxious!
"Tang San, you crossed the line!"
At this moment, with the cold words of the God of Destruction hanging in the air, the expressions of all the gods present shifted dramatically. The God of Destruction's status was much higher than that of the other gods. Therefore, his words carried significant weight.
If anyone else had uttered those words, the gathered deities might not have felt compelled to react strongly. However, since they were spoken by the God of Destruction, it became clear to many that Tang San was in serious trouble.
Even the gods who had initially prepared to aid Tang San quickly reconsidered their positions as they weighed the consequences.
"This matter has nothing to do with us."
"Yes! Although we wanted to help Tang San because of our past friendship, we did not participate in his violation."
"God of Destruction, don't take your anger out on us."
The group of gods distanced themselves from the situation.
Tang San was left to face the consequences alone. The entire atmosphere shifted dramatically.
On the other side, Tang San's complexion darkened. The very situation he dreaded had finally unfolded.
Throughout his experiences in the God Realm, the God of Destruction had always posed the greatest threat to him. When the matter was exposed earlier, Tang San was primarily concerned about the God of Destruction's reaction. However, he hadn't anticipated that before the God of Destruction had spoken, Xiao Wu's outburst would precede him.
Now, with Xiao Wu's issue unresolved and the God of Destruction prepared to take action, Tang San found himself overwhelmed.
"What are you going to do, Destruction? Do you want to fight to the death with me?" he asked, staring at the God of Destruction with cold eyes.
To this, the God of Destruction merely chuckled, seemingly finding Tang San's words amusing. "Fight to the death? Tang San, you think far too highly of yourself. Even if you were in your prime, what would I have to fear? Do I need to fight to the death to deal with you?"
Tang San's expression grew angrier, but deep down, he knew the God of Destruction spoke the truth. He wasn't an equal match for the God of Destruction. Otherwise, the God of Destruction would have been eliminated long ago.
Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, meanwhile, silently hoped for the God of Destruction's intervention. They harbored intense animosity towards Tang San and weren't willing to let any opportunity to eliminate him slip by.
"Since Tang San's crime has been confirmed, God of Destruction, just kill him directly. Why waste words on him?" Bibi Dong urged.
The God of Destruction shook his head. "I, too, would like to punish him immediately, but this isn't my territory. If I recall correctly, that powerful being said that you can't take action here at will. I cannot break the rules casually."
Bibi Dong frowned. "But didn't Tang San act just now?"
Suddenly, a strange voice echoed, causing all the soul masters within the plane gap to shudder.
Tang San felt a wave of dread wash over him as he registered the implications of that voice. Then he heard it again:
[According to the rules, random moves or private fights are not allowed in the plane gap!]
[And just now, the God King (crossed out) Tang San, who is nearly not the God King, took the initiative to start a private fight due to personal grudges. Now he is subject to punishment.]
As this proclamation ended, two screens in the sky shifted to depict Tang San's perspective, allowing everyone in the plane gap to see him.
At that moment, Tang San was livid. He remembered that he was not the only one who had acted earlier! Alongside him, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and others had also engaged. Why was he being singled out for punishment?
His anger boiled over as he shouted in response to the mysterious voice, "I want to report!"
"The penalty is wrong! I admit that I acted, but I wasn't the only one who did!"
Tang San was aware that he had no means of resistance; otherwise, he wouldn't have found himself in this predicament.
However, being powerless didn't mean he wouldn't fight back. At the very least, he wanted to implicate Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and the others in his punishment because he believed their actions contributed to his downfall.
Thus, he directly challenged the mysterious voice's ruling.
In response to Tang San's questions, the mysterious voice calmly replied:
[Questions have been received and will be reviewed again.]
[Review started.]
[Review in progress.]
[Review ended.]
[Questions rejected!]
[Reason: Tang San is the main initiator of this conflict. If it weren't for Tang San's troubles, the following chain reactions would not have occurred.]
[Furthermore, after review, the previous actions of Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and others are deemed legitimate self-defense!]
[Thus, the inquiry is invalid!]
[Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and others do not require punishment.]
With this pronouncement, a wave of relief washed over Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. Despite their arrogance toward Tang San, they were keenly aware of the power held by the mysterious voice.
Their happiness was palpable as they learned that they would escape punishment.
Tang San, however, was anything but pleased. His discomfort deepened as he felt the weight of injustice settles upon him.
It would have been tolerable if he had to face the consequences alone, but to not bring them down with him was unacceptable.
"Damn it! This isn't fair! This is outrageously unfair!" he roared, frustration boiling over.
But his anger was met with a chilling response.
[Questioning the fairness of the review is a graver offense!]
[Begin the punishment immediately!]
