Douluo Dalu: Double Comparisons, This Yuhao Is Too Cruel!

DD2-Chapter 402: Joining the God Realm; Huo Yuhao Fights the Five Great God Kings!

[At this moment, after hearing what the God of Destruction said, Tang San couldn't help but feel slightly taken aback.]

[As he continued to gaze at the God of Destruction in front of him, Tang San's expression darkened considerably.]

[He realized that the God of Destruction seemed to be deliberately helping Huo Yuhao.]

[Although the God Realm had such rules, if the God of Destruction hadn't stood up and mentioned them, no one in the God Realm would have known anything about it! No one would have even voiced it.]

[At this point, Tang San's heart began to feel extremely uneasy. As he continued to look at the God of Destruction, anger flared deep within his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said to the God of Destruction, "Destruction. You."]

[The God of Destruction, unfazed by Tang San's ire, replied lightly, "Why, Tang San? Am I wrong?"]

["The things I just said are by the rules, right?"] 

["I don't understand what you're so angry about."] 

[The God of Destruction clarified.]

[Tang San knew he couldn't fault the God of Destruction on this matter. Although he felt immensely dissatisfied, he realized he had no recourse. Nor could he confront the God of Destruction about it.]

[Grinding his teeth, he retorted, "Destruction, this is your choice, and I hope you won't regret it later."]

[The God of Destruction responded, "I can't say whether I will regret it, but I believe it's worth trying."]

[After speaking, he turned to the Goddess of Life, the God of Kindness, and the God of Evil, understanding that the other gods must agree with his decision. At this moment, he sought their support.]

[Tang San also turned his gaze towards them, knowing that without an absolute ability to suppress his opposition, the five gods of the God Realm held equal voting rights. To counter the God of Destruction, he needed the backing of the others.]

[Then the other gods began voicing their support.] 

["I think what the God of Destruction said makes sense."] 

["I agree."] 

["Indeed, we can allow Huo Yuhao to join our God Realm, provided he is willing."] 

[The God of Destruction's reputation surpassed that of Tang San, especially in this matter. The God of Kindness, the God of Evil, and the Goddess of Life were unwilling to engage in conflict with someone as powerful as Huo Yuhao. They preferred a peaceful resolution instead.]

[Thus, under these circumstances, the other gods rallied around the God of Destruction. In making their final decision, they collectively chose to support him.]

[This deepened the smile on the God of Destruction's face. "Okay, okay, thank you all for your support!"]

[Tang San understood that no amount of protesting would change the situation. Even though he was deeply dissatisfied, he found himself powerless to alter the outcome.]

["Damn God of Destruction, a group of shortsighted fools! Damn it!"] 

["It seems he can only defeat Huo Yuhao in the upcoming battle. Though he is strong, five against one is not without a chance."] 

[Tang San's mind raced with these thoughts. Meanwhile, the God of Destruction focused on Huo Yuhao, asking, "I believe you understand what has transpired."]

["As I mentioned earlier, I cannot promise to help you alter the rules established by our God Realm."]

["However, if you are willing to challenge Us, your strength could eventually change the rules through your merit."] 

["Of course, there's a prerequisite: you must become a god in our God Realm. If you succeed in facing this challenge, you will become the master of our God Realm, commanding all the gods from a position of power."] 

["This isn't a bad outcome; if you can succeed, you will be the Lord of the Gods, wielding supreme authority. I trust this is something you desire, right?"] 

[The God of Destruction continued to speak to Huo Yuhao.]

[After hearing this, Huo Yuhao smiled at the God of Destruction. "I must admit, the conditions you propose are tempting. The title of Lord of the Gods is certainly exhilarating."]

["Unfortunately, my ambition does not lie in titles; I am not interested in such fame. Therefore, this prospect does not captivate me."]

[In response, the God of Destruction pressed him, "So you intend to reject my proposal? I hope you understand that this opportunity is the best I can offer you. Should you decline, your options may lead you down a far darker path, which would change our stance toward you in the God Realm."]

[The God of Destruction wasn't threatening Huo Yuhao but merely presenting a reality.]

[Huo Yuhao comprehended this fully. Therefore, after considering the God of Destruction's words, he replied with a smile, "Do not worry, God of Destruction."]

["While I have already indicated that I am not particularly interested in such matters if joining allows me to improve the situation for soul beasts, I can accept this condition. Thus, I will not decline your kindness; instead, I intend to accept it."] 

[With resolve, Huo Yuhao stepped forward and declared before the assembly of gods, "I, Huo Yuhao, hereby announce today that I wish to join the God Realm and be named Dragon God!"]

[At this proclamation, the God of Destruction's face lit up with profound joy; his efforts had culminated in this moment. The other gods present shared in this elation, not feeling the weight of their responsibilities towards the God Realm as the God of Destruction did. They simply wanted to avoid confrontation with Huo Yuhao, whose power was undeniable. A conflict would bring immeasurable suffering upon all living beings, which was something none wished to see.]

[Thus, upon witnessing Huo Yuhao's declaration, the expressions of nearly all those present shifted to genuine delight.]

[Of course, Tang San could not share in this happiness; instead, his face twisted in anger. Once Huo Yuhao concluded his declaration, he stepped forward.]

["Now that you have joined the God Realm, you must abide by our rules. If you intend to change those rules, you must first defeat the five great God Kings of our God Realm!"]

[As he spoke, an overwhelming divine power emanated from his body, rolling like thunder. It surged and flowed furiously, enveloping him in an aura of might. Although the battle had yet to commence, Tang San resolved in that instant to do whatever it took to eliminate Huo Yuhao, for it was his only chance.]

[With this determination, he pressed onward. Upon seeing Tang San's display of power, the other five great God Kings also unleashed their divine powers, which filled the God Realm with a terrifying presence.]

["Everyone, please step back," Huo Yuhao instructed the surrounding gods. Despite his preparations for an epic confrontation, he discovered the gods here were surprisingly reasonable.]

[This realization eased Huo Yuhao's nerves. Thus, in the face of the other gods, he felt less animosity and suggested they keep their distance to avoid being caught up in the battle that was to ensue.]

[His actions garnered approving smiles from the present gods, particularly the four widely revered ones: the God of Destruction, the God of Kindness, the God of Evil, and the Goddess of Life. Huo Yuhao's demeanor proved to them that he was fundamentally a good person, prompting several of the gods to reconsider their stance.]

[However, Tang San would not be swayed by this change in sentiment. Watching Huo Yuhao, he huffed in annoyance, "Enough pretending."]

[He then urged Huo Yuhao directly, "Are you going to fight or not? If you're not, then just admit defeat!"]

[Huo Yuhao shrugged off Tang San's provocation. Though most of the surrounding gods had retreated, he remained unswayed. He faced Tang San, saying coldly, "Hmph! Why the rush? Are you eager to lose? Tang San, don't think I don't see the tricks up your sleeve."]

[Huo Yuhao openly mocked Tang San, while the God of Destruction and others grew increasingly curious about the nature of the rivalry between Tang San and Huo Yuhao.]

[Understanding it was not the right moment to delve into personal grievances, they held their questions. Instead, they advanced, launching a coordinated attack on Huo Yuhao from all directions with power so great it shook the very ground.]

[Yet, Huo Yuhao, now exuding immense strength, responded to the simultaneous assault with a thunderous dragon roar. A powerful aura erupted from within him.]

[As this aura surged outward, the five clashed forces were abruptly repelled by Huo Yuhao's overwhelming energy. They were sent hurtling back several thousand meters, taking considerable time to regain their composure.]

[At that moment, Tang San, the God of Destruction, the God of Kindness, the God of Evil, and the Goddess of Life all shared a profound shock on their faces.]

[They realized that Huo Yuhao's strength was far beyond anything they had previously anticipated.]

[Their reactions varied in intensity. The God of Kindness, the God of Evil, and the Goddess of Life were astonished—simply stunned by Huo Yuhao's prowess.]

[Conversely, Tang San felt a surge of fear. It wasn't until he faced Huo Yuhao directly that he recognized the sheer terror of his strength. The fear crept in; he was genuinely worried about potential repercussions after this confrontation.]

[On the other hand, the God of Destruction displayed an expression of excitement. He was pleased with Huo Yuhao's performance, confident that such strength could lead their God Realm to unprecedented achievements!]
