After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 438 - 166: Let the Goddess of Lies Prove Your Innocence_3

"Such beings have been few and far between over the last fifty thousand years," said the God of Wealth and Contract, "to apply this standard to the human species is quite unreasonable."

"It’s not that humanity is special," the God of Beauty and Art lightly rolled her eyes, "it’s that he is very special, right?"

"That’s one way to understand it," the God of Wealth and Contract nodded, his interest piqued as he observed Ahtal. As a being who had reached the Universal Level, he wasn’t concerned about Ahtal’s existence, but was very interested in his talents and deeds.

Of course, this also included the fact that Ahtal had shown goodwill towards him in the present world by specifically ordering the Church of Death not to oppose the Church of Wealth and Contract.

He still remembered this gesture of goodwill to this day.

"It’s my first time seeing so many gods," Xi Mu advanced step by step, calmly walking towards the judgment seat, feeling the scrutinizing, fearful, and disdainful gazes cast upon him.

In the past, he had seen many gods, even attempted a massacre, only to find that All Gods were prepared, with Universal Level beings in defensive positions, rendering him unable to kill to his satisfaction. Instead, he would have been killed by the gods.

Of course, it would be another story if he became the King of Ash.

Upon arriving in front of the judgment seat.

Xi Mu stopped, looking at the judges on the judgment seat, his gaze first falling on the Goddess of Justice—a mature goddess with long white hair. She wore a long white robe and had her eyes covered with a white silk ribbon, exuding a demeanor that was gentle yet unapproachable.

Next to her was the Goddess of Lies, also dressed in a long white robe. Her demeanor appeared carefree as usual, clever and casual, clashing with the solemn atmosphere of the courtroom, giving the impression she was playfully attending a banquet.

"Ahtal, did you assassinate the Goddess of Pleasure?" the Goddess of Lies directly questioned, breaking the routine of the interrogation process.

However, none of the gods minded as they all turned their eyes towards Ahtal, eager to know if he had carried out the assassination.

"Just out of curiosity," Xi Mu looked around at the All Gods present, "if it were me who killed her, what would you plan to do about it?"

He spread his arms.

"Now that you hold a overwhelming advantage, it would be very easy to kill me on the spot, wouldn’t it?"

"Shall we just get it over with?"

The atmosphere grew silent.

The gods present did not expect Ahtal to react this way, nor did any deity attack him, plunging the atmosphere into a deadly silence.

"Isn’t the result quite clear?" Xi Mu chuckled, "Even if I did assassinate a deity, you wouldn’t strike me down unless you want to completely ignite the conflict, the ensuing chaos might just be the conditions needed for Ragnarok to arrive."

"Silence!" the Goddess of Lies hammered down, her pretty face showing deep dissatisfaction, and asked Ahtal, "I’m asking if you assassinated the Goddess of Pleasure, not about anything else!"

Xi Mu fell silent for a moment, glanced at the Goddess of Life in the audience seats, sighed, and said:

"No."

"You’re lying!" The Goddess of Lies hammered down, the moderate sound of the hammer seeming to strike at everyone’s hearts; then her expression suddenly changed, she stiffly turned to look at the Goddess of Life, only to see the Goddess of Life maintaining a gentle smile at her.

But it also gave a strong sense of oppression.

"Could it also be that I’m not lying?" she changed her statement, "Maybe my power is acting up a bit."

"...It’s better not to explain at all," the God of Beauty and Art raised her hand to her pretty face, unable to help turning her head away; she could see that the Goddess of Lies was not really concerned with the truth, having hammered down without a second thought, clearly standing with those of the extremist faction.

To the Goddess of Lies, the truth wasn’t important.

"Why not ask again then?" Xi Mu smiled, as the Goddess of Lies’s expression clearly became serious again.

The hammer struck down.

"Ahtal, did you assassinate the Goddess of Pleasure?"

"It was I who killed her," Xi Mu smiled in response.

The Goddess of Lies hammered down, the sound echoing in the courtroom, and after a moment’s hesitation, she said: 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"It’s the truth."
