It seemed that Destruction had awakened some extraordinary attribute, as he didn't even mention the matter at all.
When the Evil God King asked who was willing to take on this great responsibility, all the gods remained silent.
They all looked at Destruction, their meaning simple: since you proposed it, you should be the one to do it.
But Destruction remained indifferent, his eyes fixed on his nose, his nose fixed on his heart.
Even "Little Green" had changed. Whether this divine realm existed or not no longer mattered to him.
"Pass down the divine position. In this lifetime, I have sacrificed too much, far too much for the divine realm."
"It's time to rest, to rest."
"Find a place where no one knows me, and be alone."
Destruction thought to himself, as he had completely lost hope in the Goddess of Life.
If such a thing hadn't happened, he might have remained immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
After so many years as a couple, she had acted in such a way...
"I'm tired. I'm not up to the task of handling such a significant matter in the divine realm. Everyone else..."
"Destruction, wasn't this your idea in the first place?"
"Why are you using such an excuse to refuse?"
The Goddess of Life instinctively spoke, completely oblivious to Destruction's darkened expression.
Seeing this, the gods couldn't help but smile inwardly. The Goddess of Life truly knew how to consider the bigger picture.
With her stepping forward, surely the God of Destruction would take on this heavy responsibility, right?
"Hmm~"
Destruction's heart felt as if it had been pierced by the coldest ice. Though not fatal, it had turned cold.
"Life!"
"!!!"
Wow, the way Destruction spoke, directly calling her by her divine title, truly shocked the gods!
What shocked them even more was what Destruction did next.
He distanced himself from this utterly hypocritical wife of his. The love that once filled his eyes was gone, replaced only by disgust.
"When I first proposed this, what did you say?"
Regarding this matter, all the gods who could attend the meeting, and even those who couldn't, knew about it.
After all, it was a joke among the enforcers!
The husband raises an issue, and the wife is the first to publicly oppose it, even demanding that he consider the bigger picture.
What kind of joke is that?
And they were supposed to be the model couple of the divine realm? It's downright nauseating.
Even the God of Food, a second-tier god, somewhat looked down on the God of Destruction.
As soon as he passed down his divine position, his wife, the Nine-Colored Goddess, didn't hesitate for a moment and directly passed down her own, abandoning the comfort of the divine realm.
Now that's what you call a harmonious couple.
But this Goddess of Life, she was really something...
She was one of the supreme gods, and these lesser gods could only gossip and mock the God of Destruction in their hearts.
"Even you, the one closest to me, rejected this proposal, and even had the audacity to claim it was for the greater good."
"Today, I've finally seen your true colors!"
Destruction didn't give Life a chance to defend herself and continued, "We've been a couple for so long. I don't want to say anything too harsh."
Hearing this, Life was stunned. Hadn't they always been like this all these years?
Why would Destruction say such hurtful words?
And he didn't want to say anything too harsh? Had she ever done anything to wrong him?
Well, actually, let's be honest.
The Goddess of Life hadn't done much that was right by the God of Destruction.
"I should have known long ago. From the moment we were born, we were destined to be enemies."
"Destruction and Life, how laughable."
At this point, Destruction paused, as if he had made some firm decision. Gritting his teeth, he continued, "I, the God of Destruction, swear that from this day forward, I sever all marital ties with you, the Goddess of Life. We shall never interact again!"
"If I break this oath, may I be struck down by heaven and earth, my divine position crumble, and I shall never be reincarnated!"
"Boom..."
Not only did the sky rumble, but the hearts of the gods also shook.
They were utterly dumbfounded. Never had they expected Destruction to act so decisively, so resolutely!
What a vicious oath!
Struck down by heaven and earth, divine position crumbled, never to be reincarnated!
How much determination did the God of Destruction have to make such an oath?
The Goddess of Life was stunned, her lips slightly parted as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
As one of the most beautiful goddesses in the divine realm, she had always maintained the grace of a supreme god.
But now, her grace was beginning to crumble.
The God of Destruction had unilaterally severed their marital ties, and on top of that, he had made an oath!
There was no turning back from this.
"Why... why are you treating me like this?"
Tears slid down Life's cheeks as if she were deeply hurt, but Destruction was all too familiar with this.
This woman always used such expressions to gain sympathy.
He should have seen through it long ago, yet every time he had softened.
"Hmph, keep pretending!"
Destruction flicked his sleeve, left those words behind, and walked away without looking back.
Seeing this, none of the gods sympathized with the Goddess of Life, for they understood the God of Destruction's character.
If it weren't for the Goddess of Life's antics, why would this supreme god be so heartbroken?
Over the years, the gods had witnessed every detail of the two deities' relationship.
Of course, while no one truly sympathized with the Goddess of Life in their hearts, they still had to put on a show of sympathy.
For gods, controlling their expressions was all too easy.
The Evil and Kindness God Kings exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat at a loss.
They too were a couple, and though their divine positions were contradictory, they were deeply in love.
If it weren't for this incident, they would have already passed down their divine positions and gone to the mortal realm to travel.
But Destruction and Life were different. Their very essences were contradictory, making it impossible for them to have offspring...
Perhaps it was because of this that Destruction felt he owed Life, leading him to endure time and time again.
Honestly, even the Evil God King wouldn't have been able to tolerate such a situation.
When Destruction had backed down earlier, the Evil God King had seen the Goddess of Life's reaction and thought Destruction would endure. Never had he expected that over such a "small matter," Destruction would finally explode.
"Little Black, I really wasn't pretending!"
"Wait for me..."
The Goddess of Life wore an innocent expression, believing that Destruction had misunderstood her and that all they needed was to clear up the misunderstanding.
Everything she had done was for the greater good, without any ulterior motives.
Why, after so many years as a couple, did Destruction still not understand her?
As the Goddess of Life left, weeping, the gods remained silent, their gazes shifting to the God of Slaughter.
"Don't look at me. I'm the only one who was physically injured in this incident..."
As for mental injuries, Destruction had definitely suffered a critical blow.
Seeing that the God of Slaughter had lost an arm, the gods didn't press further. He had indeed been severely injured, even to the point of affecting his strength.
Their eyes then turned to the Evil God King.
Evil: "..."
In the end, it still fell to him to clean up the mess, didn't it?
Helpless, the Evil God King could only take on the task. As for the Kindness God King, she was his wife. How could he possibly push the responsibility onto her?
After the gods dispersed, a few of them began preparing to pass down their divine positions. After all, they couldn't stay in the divine realm much longer.
