"Dai Mubai, if this is your last wish, then I will grant it."
With those words, Tang San didn't hesitate. He flicked several blue silver leaves with a strange technique, sending them straight toward Dai Mubai's brow.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai's pupils shrank, his eyes filled with terror.
This guy, relying on the Sea God's backing, actually dared to kill him.
Just as the attack was about to land, a dark orange light enveloped Dai Mubai, blocking it completely.
Immediately after, a phantom several meters tall appeared above him.
It was a tall, thin man exuding majesty, radiating a deep orange glow. Behind his head was a seven-ringed dark orange halo, and his aura carried a suffocating, maddening sense of original sin.
There was no doubt this was the god behind Dai Mubai.
However, this was only a wisp of the God of Wrath's divine thought and could not unleash much power.
The moment it appeared, Lin Mu, who was far away in Seahorse City Lord's Mansion, sensed it first. Soon after, Bo Saixi in the Sea God Temple also noticed it.
The presence of another god on Seagod Island made her expression turn grim.
As the High Priestess of Seagod Island, she could not tolerate such a situation, yet she had no way to deal with a god.
"I'm saved!"
Looking at the illusory figure above him, Dai Mubai finally breathed a sigh of relief. The God of Wrath had not abandoned him.
With a god backing him, he no longer feared Tang San.
Thinking of this, Dai Mubai straightened his back, looked at Tang San arrogantly, and said, "Tang San, I gave you a chance, but you were the one who wasted it."
Faced with a god's divine thought, neither Tang San nor Yu Tianheng dared to act rashly.
Ma Hongjun, who had been preparing to slip away, froze in place. He hadn't expected Dai Mubai to have such a trump card, and a trace of regret surfaced in his heart.
"Useless!"
The God of Wrath did not avenge Dai Mubai. Instead, he coldly rebuked him.
"What?!"
Dai Mubai was stunned. He had thought the God of Wrath intervened because he valued him.
Who would have expected that he came out just to scold him?
Although he felt wronged, he didn't dare show any dissatisfaction.
At that moment, a golden figure flew over from Seahorse City. It was Lin Mu, clad with Thunder Atlas Armor.
Seeing his master arrive, Tang San finally relaxed.
In his eyes, Lin Mu not only possessed divine inheritance but had also reached Limit Douluo. He might be able to contend with a divine thought.
"This is the God of Wrath's divine thought?"
A trace of seriousness flashed in Lin Mu's eyes. Although he had never seen the God of Wrath before, the aura was unmistakable.
It was just that his judgment was terrible for choosing Dai Mubai as his successor.
"There are actually the auras of three gods!"
The God of Wrath stared at Lin Mu in shock, then quickly revealed a look of fervor.
Just like the Sea God before, he even considered changing successors.
From first impressions alone, Lin Mu was far more suitable.
Even so, he still asked, "Are you willing to accept my inheritance? If you agree, I can guarantee you will pass the trial."
"What?!"
Dai Mubai was completely dumbfounded.
He had just been called useless, and now the god wanted to replace him openly.
What had all his efforts over the past year been for?
Yu Tianheng and Ma Hongjun were equally shocked. They knew Lin Mu was strong, but not to this extent.
Only Tang San remained calm.
Lin Mu said indifferently, "Other gods want to give their positions freely without any trial. Yet you want me to go through an assessment?"
The God of Wrath was speechless.
He hadn't expected him to be so direct.
"Don't be so arrogant. If I report this, you won't get any divine position," he said coldly.
"Are you threatening me?"
Lin Mu's expression turned cold.
"So what if I am?" the God of Wrath replied dismissively.
As a first-class god, he could not tolerate such disrespect from a mortal.
"Then there's nothing more to say."
"Thunder Atlas Aurora Fiend."
Lin Mu made his move instantly.
In a flash, he turned into a golden streak of light and pierced through the energy vortex, directly shattering the God of Wrath's divine thought.
At the moment it broke apart, the God of Wrath still could not believe Lin Mu dared to attack.
Far away in the God Realm, the true God of Wrath flew into an explosive rage. "A filthy mortal dares to lay a hand on me!" he roared.
If not for the God Realm's rules, he would have descended and killed Lin Mu himself.
Still seething after venting his fury, the God of Wrath remained unsatisfied.
He immediately turned to seek out his superior, the God of Destruction; he was determined to see this mortal punished and to report the gods who wanted to give their divine positions directly to Lin Mu.
Meanwhile, Tang San and the others stood there in shock.
They never expected Lin Mu to attack a god, even if it was only a wisp of divine thought.
At that moment, Bo Saixi arrived from afar.
She had deliberately slowed down earlier, unsure of what to do.
Because of that, she witnessed something unforgettable.
With a single move, Lin Mu destroyed a god's divine thought.
Even if it was just a wisp, she could never have done the same.
"Lin Mu! You actually dared to attack a god! You're a dead man!"
Seeing his final hope vanish, Dai Mubai completely broke down and shouted hysterically.
"Shut up."
Lin Mu casually waved his hand, mercilessly hurling a concentrated orb of Qilin Fire directly at him.
"Ahhh!"
Consuming him in an instant, the Qilin Fire burned Dai Mubai alive.
He unleashed a series of blood-curdling, heart-wrenching screams before being entirely incinerated, leaving behind not even a single speck of ash.
