As the loyal subordinate of the God of Fear, perhaps the only loyal subordinate, Hasarin, the God of Shadow and Assassination, had always been wondering how to save her boss .

It was definitely impossible to save him from the execution ground . She was just a mid-level Divine Power . Even if she was a great Divine Power, it was also impossible . The two great Divine Powers had joined hands, but they had still been defeated by the Void Mask . If she wanted to save him from the execution ground on her own, she would need to change her body at first . She needed to change into the Master of Order, the greater Divine Power . Or she could pick up a stone on the side of the road, and it happened to be a deity fragment left by one of the other three greater Divine Powers .

Such things just existed in her imaginations . Hasarin was a pragmatic god, so what she thought about was how to use a non-forceful method to save the God of Fear .

Honestly, this was an impossible task .

Hasarin wasn’t a wise god, so she changed her idea . I am not wise enough, then I’ll find a wise person to help me!

Therefore, her avatar sneaked into the mortal world and found six officials who were engaged in legal work . She also found two scholars who studied history, hoping to get solutions from those professionals .

Because she needed to disguise her identity, she didn’t dare to use Divine Power . She could only seduce those people with ordinary money, treasures, and even beauty . It was lucky that gods were free to change their appearances . Otherwise, with her face which was as pale as a dead person and her malnourished figure, her “beauty” might have an adverse effect .

After many inquiries, Hasarin finally found a way .

There were two kinds of laws . One was that “the things that are not permitted by laws are illegal,” and the other one was that “the things that are not prohibited by laws are not illegal . ” For civilians, the former one was usually used, and the aristocrats usually used the latter one . As for the kings, they didn’t need to follow laws, because they were above the laws .

Since the God of Fear had become a prisoner, then the principle “kings didn’t need to obey laws” couldn’t be used . However, it inspired those smart professionals to come up with a good idea . Since ancient times, all laws had been established to restrain mortals, and no laws had ever been about gods . Since there were no laws about gods, then it didn’t matter whether gods committed crimes or not .

In other words, whatever gods did were not crimes .

Hasarin didn’t know whether this method could be used to save His Majesty, and she didn’t know what would happen after he was clear from a charge . However, she had no time to think about that, because the public hearing had almost come to an end .

So even though she knew that the hope was little, she still used the method she had prepared for a year .

Hearing her words, the gods were stunned at first, and then they began to talk about it .

“What she said seems right . There are no laws about us gods . ”

“Definitely . It is true that laws are also applicable . There is a famous saying in the mortal world, and it said ‘kings will never be illegal . ’ Another principle can be estimated in the same manner . Of course, gods will never be illegal . ”

“Yeah, after all, gods are much nobler than kings!”

Those words were said by the gods of the Neutral Camp .

“A bit bad! They caught the blind spot!”

“Yes, no matter in the past or at present, there are no articles about sanctioning gods in any laws . ”

“There was no such thing that happened before . So what should we do?”

“At least, I can’t think of a way, so I’m afraid we can just try hard to think of one . ”

“In my mind, there shouldn’t be a public hearing . Just kill that bastard directly, and the world will be peaceful again!”

“Ugh! Who would have thought of such an accident!”

According to their attitudes, they were good gods .

“Well, this time we can have some fun!”

“If you want to be a prostitute, don’t pretend to be a virgin in public . You want both fame and fortune, but how can you be so lucky!”

“Although we have suffered a big loss this time, we can see this good show . It is a bit comforting . ”

“Hasarin, what a pity . I thought that after Dyalt (the God of Fear) died, I would try to conquer her . ”

“She’s a dog of someone else’s . Why do you target her? Even if you conquer her with force, she won’t treat you like her original owner . You’d better train one by yourself . ”

“That is also true . When she’s dead, the corresponding priesthood will be vacant . I have some good assassins, and I can ask them to have a try . ”

Those were naturally said by the evil gods .

Compared to the discussions of the gods, the face of the God of Fear had been calm and sorrowful, but now he became energetic again . He stood up and looked back at the God of Shadow and Assassination, sighing deeply .

“You shouldn’t have come here . ”

“I should have!”

The God of Fear said, smiling sarcastically, “If you come here, you will die, and you can do nothing but die . ”

“I should have followed you . Wouldn’t it be better if I could do something?” the God of Shadow and Assassination said with excitement . “Even if we both die here today, at least I will prevent them from insulting you with such a ridiculous trick of a ‘trial!’”

“Naive! Do you think this is a reasonable place?” the God of Fear said . He shook his head and sat down again . “Stupid child, you will soon understand that…”

As the accused one of this trial, he thought more deeply than others . He had already seen through the true purpose of this trial .

In fact, dealing with him was just their secondary goal . The Void Mask and his group wanted to use this opportunity to establish their authority!

In order to achieve this goal, even if the accusations couldn’t be established, they still would verify his crimes .

What’s more, many accusations were really able to be established .

Hasarin’s idea was good, but it was actually useless . The God of Law could explain any law as he wanted!

The God of Fear didn’t say these words, because he felt that it was meaningless to say this . He would just be refuted and humiliated again .

As the leader of the evil gods, even if he had reached the end of his life, he would maintain his reputation .

Now, this was all he could do .

In the face of the question of the God of Shadow and Assassination, the God of Law was silent, but Sui Xiong couldn’t help but smile .

After the arguments of the gods stopped for a while, Sui Xiong said, “Your question does make sense . In the past years, there were no laws about gods, and no laws could be used to sanction gods . But those were things in the past . ” As he said that, with a golden light in his hand, a book that contained infinite Divine Power appeared .

“This is the Code of Gods . It has been reviewed and approved by the Master of Order, and it has been engraved into the order of this world . ”

After saying that, Sui Xiong poured his Divine Power into that golden book . The book slowly rose into the air, and a heart-shattering majesty revealed from it, and that was the Divine Power of the Master of Order .

Along with the Divine Power of the Master of Order, there was a law that was not complicated or even a little simple .

The core spirit of this law lay in an old saying, “do as the Romans do . ” This law deprived gods of their supreme identities . It declared that since gods were also a part of the rules of the world, then they should follow the rules . When gods arrived at a certain place, they should respect and follow the law of that place . Of course, they could ignore the laws with their powerful force . However, if they were caught because of their crimes, they would be judged according to the law of that place .

Another important point in this law was the unlimited retrospective rights . No matter where and when the crimes happened, as long as they happened in this world, no matter how long ago they had happened, they could be traced and judged according to this law without any exception .

In other words, from now on, there were laws about gods in the world—unless, of course, the gods could capture their enemy gods like Sui Xiong, or it was easier to kill the enemies than to judge them according to the laws .

This law was still in a mere form, but its establishment had immeasurable significance .

For example, when Sui Xiong demonstrated this law, the power of the God of Law was constantly improving . In the end, he broke through the limits of mid-level Divine Power and entered the realm of a great Divine Power .

He broke through the last limitation of “there are no laws about gods,” and laws were finally fully established in this world!
