Zamasu was still in a daze.
No…
I was beating up that woman Silia, how did I suddenly get slammed by Soya?
"Negative emotional value from Zamasu +1000!"
"Negative emotional value from Zamasu…"
For a moment, Zamasu's negative emotions kept refreshing.
What strange technique are you using to swap me over?
Carlo rubbed his slightly dizzy head, looking around in confusion.
Wasn't I just being grabbed and slammed by that guy named Soya?
How did I suddenly end up here?
Did I pass out midway?
Carlo was utterly bewildered.
Silia also clearly paused, noticing the opponent's attack rhythm had slowed down. Taking a closer look, she realized the person across from her had changed.
How did it become Carlo?
Silia reacted extremely quickly, kicking out, her foot landing squarely on Carlo's face.
Carlo was unfortunately hit, crying out in pain.
Silia swiftly pressed the attack, raining punches and kicks on Carlo.
Carlo, unable to fight back effectively, retreated step by step, getting closer and closer to the edge of the ring.
Over at Soya's side, he continued to slam Zamasu.
Zamasu howled in pain.
But soon, Zamasu snapped back to his senses. Clenching his teeth, a hand blade immediately materialized in his hand.
"Shhrip…"
Zamasu's hand blade stabbed straight towards Soya's chest area, his killing intent already stirred.
To think I, a god, am being slammed around like this by a human, it's simply too humiliating.
Even if I can't kill you, I will cripple you.
Seeing the situation turn dangerous, Soya directly swapped himself with Carlo.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, Carlo instantly appeared in Soya's position.
Soya also appeared in Carlo's previous position.
"Thud!"
Zamasu's hand blade stabbed straight forward, hitting Carlo's shoulder on the spot and embedding itself deep within.
"Ah…"
Carlo let out a scream.
Zamasu was stunned, staring dumbfounded at Carlo who had switched places.
Soya had just appeared in Carlo's previous position when he saw Silia swinging a fist towards him.
"Wait, it's me!" Soya hurriedly called out.
Silia's beautiful eyes widened, and she hastily tried to pull her fist back.
But Soya was faster, quickly throwing a punch that landed on Silia's chest.
"Ya!"
Silia exclaimed in surprise, looked down, her pretty face darkening.
"Negative emotional value from Silia +888!"
Where are you hitting?
You've gone too far!
Now they're asymmetrical!
"Are you alright?" Soya asked with concern.
"What do you think?" Silia glared at him angrily.
"Can it recover?" Soya felt waves of self-blame.
"No!" Silia snapped.
"How about flattening the other side too? That way they'll be symmetrical." Soya thought for a moment and suggested.
Silia: "..."
"Negative emotional value from Silia +999!"
Just listen to what you're saying, is that human speech?
"Bastard! I won't let you get away with this!" Silia flew into a rage, charging at Soya and launching a fierce attack.
Soya turned and ran, not bothering to engage with Silia.
"You… you bastard! Stop right there!" Silia was furious and flustered, chasing Soya around the ring, hitting him.
The gods present all covered their faces.
It feels like those two are just flirt-fighting.
A perfectly good match, if there weren't outsiders, wouldn't you two actually start fighting?
The Grand Priest held his forehead, sweat sliding down his face.
Merus's mouth twitched.
"You know, your friend is quite interesting," the Grand Priest suddenly appeared beside Merus, saying with a smile.
"Y… yes… Grand Priest-sama." Merus immediately bowed respectfully.
"He possesses very powerful potential. If properly guided, he could be of great help to you in the future when you become a true Angel." The Grand Priest's tone was grave as he gave his evaluation.
"I know what to do, Grand Priest-sama." Merus bowed once again.
"Regarding the candidate for the Supreme Kai, I believe you already have an answer in your heart. Make the choice according to your own wishes." The Grand Priest smiled slightly.
"But… the match…" Merus glanced towards the ring and asked.
"The match is just a formality," the Grand Priest chuckled. "Just like the previous Destroyer God tournament."
Merus's eyes gleamed.
Grand Priest-sama, is this kind of cheating okay?
Wouldn't direct internal appointment be simpler?
"Although we could appoint directly, doing it this way provides more training value and helps you all grow more quickly." The Grand Priest gently patted Merus's shoulder.
"Yes, Grand Priest-sama." Merus seemed to understand, grinning.
"Besides, in terms of actual strength, those two are indeed among the top contenders among these candidates." The Grand Priest said with a smile. "However, neither has fully matured yet; they still need time to hone their skills."
"Yes, I understand." Merus let out a long sigh of relief.
"I have other matters to attend to. You are fully in charge here now." The Grand Priest said with a smile.
"Me in charge?" Merus was taken aback.
"No matter what happens, you have your older brothers and sisters to back you up. Even if they can't handle it, isn't there still me?" The Grand Priest gave an affectionate smile.
Merus was deeply moved.
"Whoosh!"
After speaking, the Grand Priest immediately vanished.
Seeing the Grand Priest disappear, the many Destroyer Gods present also relaxed slightly.
After all, with the Grand Priest present, even speaking felt a bit awkward.
"Vados, has Grand Priest-sama left?" Champa quietly asked Vados beside him.
"Yes, he has departed." Vados nodded gently.
"Why did he leave so suddenly? The match isn't over yet, is it?" Champa asked curiously.
"Clearly, matters concerning the new universe have been fully entrusted to Merus to handle." Vados replied with a smile.
"A pity, our universe wasn't selected this time." Champa sighed. "But it's okay, we've already established good relations with both the new universe's Supreme Kai and Destroyer God… at least we'll have helpers if we need to fight outside in the future."
Vados: "..."
Destroyer Gods from the other universes also turned their focus to the ring.
Especially seeing Soya being chased and hit by Silia, the more they watched, the more it seemed like flirt-fighting. Many Destroyer Gods couldn't help feeling irritated.
"Negative emotional value from Heles +111!"
"Negative emotional value from Quitela +222!"
"Negative emotional value from Arak +111!"
"Negative emotional value from Sidra +222!"
"Negative emotional value from Belmod +333!"
For a moment, five Destroyer Gods provided negative emotional value to Soya.
Soya shivered, a chill running down his spine.
No, what do you all mean?
Are you five sick or something?
Why give me negative emotional value?
I didn't provoke you, did I?
Soya was momentarily bewildered.
