Wizard: I Can Synthesis Everything-Chapter 273 - 264 A Good Play

...

As one of the high and mighty Twelve Titan Main Gods.

What situation hasn’t been encountered by the Divine in charge of night and slaughter?

She sneered immediately.

"So what about the Power of Time?"

"Eternal Night! Descend!"

"In my Domain, no one can defeat me!"

Lin Suo quickly retreated, observing this pitch-black land utterly different from the ordinary night.

He was not unfamiliar with Domains, as practically every Legendary-level expert owned one; he had the World Tree Domain too, though he seldom used it.

The Domain of the Night Goddess, however, was that which split the notions of night and day with the Sun God years ago, forming a Time God Position.

Once separated, the aspect related to Time was greatly weakened, instead undergoing a kind of mutation, where concepts of night, obstruction, darkness, and shadows replaced the originally vast Power of Time.

"How foolish."

Lin Suo regretted silently, such a waste of a Main God Position of the Time Series, only to derive these trivial things.

"Hush!"

"Shadow of Binding."

Swish swish swish—

From all directions, endless black liquid tendrils shot out from the night, ferociously attacking Lin Suo.

The Night Goddess, wielding both darkness and slaughter, was indeed a top-tier combatant, above the Legendary Third Tier yet below the Holy Spirit Level.

Going all out, she could obliterate stars with one blow.

The environment limited her performance, and she did not use her true abilities.

Otherwise, Lin Suo would not have been able to fight to a stalemate.

He realized this himself.

The cat plays with the mouse, but does the mouse not also play with the cat...

Dodging once or twice, as a tendril of shadow wrapped around his ankle, Lin Suo took the opportunity to stop resisting. She caught him and took him towards the Mount of Gods.

On the way, Lin Suo was quite curious.

"Night Goddess, after the Divine Office was split, is there still a possibility to merge it?"

"What, after clearing up your current identity, you are a major suspect for the damage to the World Tree. If you don’t want to suffer, surrender your six brothers."

"Consideration will be given because of our common race, the Divine King will not take your life."

Lin Suo nodded, knowing this point.

But, just acting won’t kill him, and he wouldn’t be in trouble before seeing the Divine King; the Night Goddess would ensure his safety.

"No need to scare me, I will explain everything I know to the Divine King."

"What about you, not afraid of being dragged down by me?"

"Aglaia, that fellow, learning from the Goddess of Joy? How is she?"

"Quiet!"

Mention of Aglaia was infuriating.

The Night Goddess fell silent instantly; the atmosphere within the Titan Divine Race had been stirred into chaos by the Goddess of Joy, and now her daughter was involved, resulting in her personal interrogation.

The scene was not very friendly...

A day later.

The Night Goddess arrived at Mount of Gods with great speed.

Lin Suo was pressed before the Temple of Gods, and the Arbitration Horn was blown. The Titans had few in number, besides a few good-for-nothings, and every trial would typically gather all six of the Main Gods or higher.

This matter was of great importance, and thus all Twelve Main Gods were assembled, presided over by the Divine King himself.

Unless necessary, a verdict like the death penalty would not be delivered.

That was also why Lin Suo believed that he could brazenly walk after his awakening from his pilgrimage, thinking that he had been exonerated.

A grand spectacle was about to begin.

Gods gathering in unity!

This was Lin Suo’s first time seeing the Padolon Divine of the Ancient Era so completely.

In later generations, most of the beings present would not qualify for the Main God position, only the Ancient God King before him could be considered of Main Divine Level.

The Divine King’s name had long been lost in the river of history.

Not even Lin Suo knew it.

"Order!"

The matter related to the World Tree was a closed trial, excluding only the Main Gods and the Divine King; some other Upper Grade Divine also came to observe.

Soon, Aglaia, covered in bloodstains and looking haggard, was also brought up and thrown beside Lin Suo.

"Cough cough..."

Seeing Lin Suo, she was a bit excited, even babbling incoherently.

"My dear little brother, you do love your sister so... To have treated your sister like this, are you satisfied?"

Lin Suo’s face was expressionless.

"Mutual benefit, do you think I don’t know about the Divine Power you’ve been siphoning in secret?"

"It’s all just transactions between us; let’s not get confused."

"You..."

Aglaia gritted her teeth fiercely, staring at him intently.

Like a hungry wolf wishing to gnaw a few chunks of flesh from its prey.

She shared a mentor-friend relationship with the Goddess of Joy.

Naturally, she was deeply skilled in her best friend’s secret techniques; if she had fully absorbed them from the beginning, today’s situation would not have arisen.

Greed for a long-term training resource led to today’s predicament.

Lin Suo suddenly smiled.

"Be careful with your words and actions, Your Grace, otherwise you might get dragged into this as well."

Aglaia bowed her head, looking at the scantily clad, delicate body covered with numerous wounds, oozing plenty of golden Divine Blood. This time she had sustained a severe loss of vital energy – a significant loss indeed.

The conversation between the two was completely conducted through the use of Divine Power for spiritual communication, thus it was very brief and unnoticed by anyone else.

Inside the Gods Hall.

The Divine King was seated high in the center, with an exceptionally long backrest on his chair. The Twelve Main Gods sat on either side, their chair backs a tier shorter.

Some Upper Grade Gods sat even lower, and not far from Lin Suo was a prison where the Moon God, Mixia, sat with elegant posture, unharmed and immaculate.

It seems she ultimately could not escape the tyranny of the Divine King.

In Lin Suo’s Shadow Realm vision, her body was also entangled with dense red silken threads. Another shell perhaps...

"The trial begins!"

The sudden voice turned Lin Suo’s head, and he looked up directly at the Divine King.

"Sin God Rhein, you and others have stolen the power of the World Tree, causing it to wither and turn yellow due to multiple Divine Enthronements in a short period, do you admit to this crime?"

The War God, Theslosa, an old acquaintance, was the one who spoke.

His eagerness to pronounce guilt caused dissatisfaction among many, for it was previously agreed upon that the mere seven Divine Enthronements were not the main issue.

The real matter was uncovering the conspiracy behind it.

Theslosa’s move was just too ugly, he was in a hurry to absolve the Sea God’s lover – to the unknowing, one might think she were his lover...

Lin Suo, considering the reactions above, speculated in his heart and confessed without denial.

"It was me, as well as my six brothers."

"But... the Divine Power, is it not the strength that every Titan can acquire? Even if we took the shortcut from Aglaia, it doesn’t violate the Titan Divine Law, right...?"

"But you have harmed the World Tree!"

Theslosa suddenly stood up, unleashing immense Divine Power, pressing down on Lin Suo.

Lin Suo showed no weakness either.

From a kneeling position, he forcefully stood up against the pressure.

"War God, Your Grace, how idealistic you are. If you need a newly-adult Titan like myself to take the blame, then spare my six brothers. If you say so, then it shall be."

As he spoke, Lin Suo suddenly turned his head towards the Divine King.

"Divine King Your Majesty, if the Titan race wants me to shoulder the blame to quell the chaos, I, as a younger member, have no intention to refuse. Just spare my six brothers!"

Lin Suo’s attitude caught them somewhat off guard.

As the only suspect who had approached the World Tree during this period, the God of Knowledge could be trusted – only Lin Suo, with his mysterious origins and an unfamiliar identity, was highly suspect.

Everyone had thought that the truth would be revealed before the trial, but now it seemed to have become more elusive and complicated.

The hook-nosed Netherworld God stood up, looking disdainfully at the War God, Theslosa, who was very close to the Sea God.

"If you ask me, it’s just a conspiracy of some. It is common knowledge among our kind for newly adult Titans to go beneath the World Tree for Divine Enthronement after their pilgrimage awakening."

"Though the seven Rhein brothers are highly suspect, according to the timeline, when the eldest Rhein entered, the God of Knowledge was awake and did not self-seal into slumber."

"Since he passed the scrutiny of the God of Knowledge at that time, the eldest of the Rhein brothers is instead the least suspect among them."

"Theslosa’s hasty accusations, are you feeling guilty perhaps?!"

[Well said～]

Lin Suo was joyful inside. As a suspect, he could only guide others to think for themselves; saying everything directly would not be trustworthy.

So first "whitewash", then lay accusations – not only would it allow him to successfully penetrate the Titan upper echelons but also would enable him to bring out the existence of the Blood-Eyed God, Helsinki.

To take the blame in his stead and focus the firepower.

Meanwhile, he could also explore what exactly had happened to the Moon God, Mixia, that led to her becoming the Moon’s Dark Side and the future slaughter of the Moon God Elves.

"What are you saying! Netherworld God, don’t make unwarranted allegations!"

"Silence!"

The Divine King spoke, glanced at Lin Suo, and then turned to the War God, Theslosa.

"The Netherworld God has made a logical case, if you don’t want to be suspect, then shut your mouth!"

Theslosa, despite his reluctance, could only bow and take his seat.

"What do you all think?"

The Divine King looked around at the Main Gods, and the Sun God spoke.

"The Netherworld God makes sense, but the suspicion on the seven Rhein brothers is still very high; we cannot let the other six go. This eldest one though, has the least suspicion but is also guilty of concealment."

"That’s well put."

The statement was reasonably fair.

Yet Lin Suo’s expression suddenly changed, his eyes turned bright red as he stared at the octopus-headed Sea God.

Sometimes, acting doesn’t need dialogue to communicate your point; at least, the audience understood.

The Blood-Eyed God, Helsinki, controlling the body of the Sea God, had been loafing but was suddenly startled by a pair of red eyes which held the true presence of Its original body.

[Little brother, what are you doing?]

[Big brother, save me!]

And so, with this exchange of gazes, an image was born even without direct dialogue.

The Netherworld God was ecstatic, slammed the table as he rose!

"Good! Damn you, Sea God, playing both sides! I said a merely Lower Grade God who recently touched divinity, how could he possibly harm the World Tree!"

"It turns out you are the mastermind behind the scenes!"

Sea God: "???"

The expressions of the Main Gods turned sour, even Theslosa, a staunch ally, had a ashen face; he felt like a clown.

He treated the Sea God as a brother, and others treated him as a fool.

Was he just a shield to be used like this? What benefits had he received and not shared with him! Intolerable.

Even the Divine King was drawn into the confusion.

A pair of shining golden eyes, full of threat, stared down the Sea God...
