Despite feeling immense regret, the Vast Ocean God King still approached the Heavy Stone God King, hoping to offer him some comfort.
"Your Majesty...it's alright. After all, you are the God-King in charge of the 'Execution Department.' The 'Execution Department' is still your domain."
"Although Qiu Tu's momentum is rapid, he still needs time."
"After all, we still have His Majesty Mitchell behind us..."
Mitchell is one of the four giants of the Order Path, a true high-ranking god-king. He is also the backer of the Heavy Stone God-King, the Star Forger God-King, and others.
Therefore, the meaning of the Sea God King is to ask Mitchell for help or seek assistance.
However, at this moment, the Heavy Stone God King had no interest in paying attention to the Vast Ocean God King.
Because he felt...something was wrong, something really was wrong.
Of all the god-kings present, he was the only one who truly fought Qiu Tu. He was also the only one who directly confronted Qiu Tu's "innate divine skill."
At first, he also felt that Qiu Tu's "innate divine skill" was terrifyingly powerful and impossible to resist.
However, he could not allow his trusted confidant to be killed by Qiu Tu, nor could he accept the death of an important god-king due to internal strife within the "Execution Department".
Therefore, he acted hastily.
In everyone's eyes, his "Wall of Weeping Rocks" was easily crushed, and Qiu Tu was able to retract his "Destined Divine Skill" with ease.
However, in the perception of the Heavy Stone God King, Qiu Tu's "Innate Divine Skill" when he used all his strength was equivalent to his hastily used "Wall of Weeping Rock".
However, Qiu Tu seemed to have other abilities, causing his "Wall of Weeping Rocks" to shatter instantly, creating a visual illusion that he had been defeated.
Even so, Qiu Tu was already at his limit. Therefore, he had to stop attacking the Demon Eye God King.
After all... if they don't stop, the Demon-Eyed God-King will likely only suffer minor injuries at most. Then everything will be exposed...
Of course... all of this was just the Heavy Stone God-King's own feeling, and had not been verified. Therefore, he dared not say it aloud.
After all... no one would believe him if he said it; it would only make him seem like he was trying to make amends for his failure.
More importantly, who knows if Qiu Tu is waiting there to ambush someone again?
It was precisely this conflicting feeling that caused the Heavy Stone God King to be somewhat troubled for a moment.
'What the hell is going on?'
Is Qiu Tu's strength real or fake?

Chapter 785 The Shocked God Kings (Thanks to "Pudding Five Cents" for the patronage!)
At this moment, just as the Heavy Stone God King was hesitating, struggling, and even doubting himself, the Vast Ocean God King spoke again.
Perhaps because the Heavy Stone God King hadn't spoken for so long, he misunderstood the Heavy Stone God King's situation.
So he gently comforted her, "Your Majesty, this is not our fault."
"It was truly unexpected that Qiu Tu would possess such methods."
"And..." At this point, the God King of the Vast Ocean paused, then said what he considered to be his true feelings, "I think Qiu Tu is a very... insidious person."
"He clearly has such a trump card, but he keeps showing weakness. This is obviously a deliberate attempt to lure us in."
"We never expected him to be so insidious, so it's normal that we fell for his trick."
I wonder if the phrase "showing weakness to the enemy" resonated with the Heavy Stone God King.
He snapped out of his reverie, then looked at the Vast Ocean God King beside him, considered for a moment, and said, "Vast Ocean, if I said... Qiu Tu wasn't feigning weakness, but was genuinely weak, would you believe me?"
Upon hearing the words of the Heavy Stone God King, even though the Vast Ocean God King tried his best to control his expression, he couldn't help but lose control for a moment.
He glanced weakly at the Heavy Stone God King, and although he didn't speak, the meaning was crystal clear: Your Majesty, are you serious...?
Even though the Vast Ocean God King didn't speak, the Heavy Stone God King understood his meaning just by looking at his expression.
So the Heavy Stone God King sighed inwardly and did not continue the conversation.
To be honest, not to mention the God King of the Vast Ocean, even he himself was a little unsure whether his previous feeling was right or wrong.
Or perhaps... just as the God King of the Vast Ocean said: Qiu Tu is treacherous. He clearly has such strong trump cards, but he deliberately shows weakness to his enemies.
So... who can say for sure that Qiu Tu wasn't deliberately feigning weakness this time?
Moreover, upon closer examination, the cause of this incident was that he wanted to give Qiu Tu a hard time and force him to back down, thereby achieving his goal of regaining control of the "Execution Department".
The God King of the Vast Ocean tried to dissuade him, but he persisted in his plan.
Even though the actions of the Vast Ocean God King today were somewhat presumptuous and caused things to spiral out of control, the root cause was still himself. Therefore, the Heavy Stone God King felt that perhaps he should no longer continue to confront Qiu Tu head-on.
The Heavy Stone God King was a steady person with little gambling spirit.
When faced with failure, he doesn't impulsively place a large bet and gamble again. Instead, he prefers to stabilize things first and then make long-term plans.
This mature and cautious approach to things makes it easier for him to recover from setbacks, but it also makes him miss out on opportunities to turn things around...
However, a person's personality is fixed and difficult to change, so even though the Heavy Stone God King knew that his "gambling instinct" was too weak, he ultimately accepted this defeat.
He gently patted the Sea God King's shoulder with his large hand and said, "Alright, let's leave it at that."
His gaze, filled with resentment, drifted forward, as if he could see the undercurrents swirling within the "Execution Department." His deep voice trailed off as he slowly said, "This 'God-King Conference' will likely soon spread throughout the entire 'Execution Department,' and even the 'Temple-West Branch.'"
"Next, we are likely to face a major shock."
"Many fence-sitters may hedge their bets, waver, or even... pay lip service while acting against it."
"At times like this, we must keep the situation under control and not let it get out of control."
After saying that, the Heavy Stone God King slowly added, "As for consulting His Majesty Mitchell... I don't think it's necessary."
"Things aren't that serious yet."
As he spoke, he glanced at the God King of the Vast Ocean and said with a serious and confident expression, "Over the years, even when facing Elena, I have never been at a disadvantage."
Even if Qiu Tu has mastered his "Innate Divine Skill," he's still only a Level Two God King!
Upon hearing the words of the Heavy Stone God King, the Vast Ocean God King finally showed a relieved expression again.
Clearly, encountering setbacks and failures is not important; what matters is not being defeated.
Especially the leader, who is the backbone of the entire team, will be irreparable if he becomes decadent or degenerate.
As long as he can pull himself together, there is still a chance to turn things around.
Moreover... just as the Heavy Stone God King said, Qiu Tu is only a second-level God King, and it's still a long way from him truly growing up.
They had far too much time to suppress or ease tensions with Qiu Tu...
However, compared to the peace of mind of the Vast Ocean God King, the Heavy Stone God King always felt as if he had missed something.
Even though he had made up his mind to begin shrinking the battle lines and do his best to stabilize the situation, the scene of his clash with Qiu Tu's "Emperor's Wrath - Modified" kept flashing through his mind.
Is Qiu Tu really that strong...?
.....
Meanwhile.
Qiu Tu, who had shown off at the "God King Conference" and was about to become the center of attention, returned to his locked courtyard and began his debriefing.
If he knew about the analysis the Heavy Stone God King had just made, he would probably applaud the Heavy Stone God King, because... the Heavy Stone God King's guesses were all correct.
The Heavy Stone God King was right; Qiu Tu's current strength is indeed very strong, but not as strong as he appeared at the "God King Conference".
The reason Qiu Tu's performance was so impressive was mainly due to the modifications he made to the "Destined Divine Skill" that Zhao Ji had created for him over the past few days.
That's right, the reason Qiu Tu took so long to emerge from seclusion wasn't because his "innate divine skill" was so difficult to master.
Given Zhao Ji's genius, this "innate divine skill" was modified to be almost perfectly suited to Qiu Tu, making Qiu Tu's cultivation twice as effective with half the effort. It wouldn't take that long at all.
The main reason he secluded himself for so long was that while practicing this "innate divine skill," he suddenly had an inspiration and modified it.
His approach to the modification was quite simple: to integrate his own "order space".
Zhao Ji created "Wrath of the Emperor" for Qiu Tu, which is a very powerful "Destined Divine Skill". However, there is a major problem in order to bring this "Destined Divine Skill" to its full potential: it has strong requirements for the mental state of both parties.
The more fearful and humble the enemy, the stronger the effect of "The Emperor's Wrath". The more superior and confident Qiu Tu feels, the stronger the effect of "The Emperor's Wrath".
Zephyr's "original" "signature divine skill" should also have similar rules. But... who is Zephyr? She's the queen of coolness, so this effect is already maxed out for her.
But Qiu Tu doesn't have that mindset. So he has to rely on other abilities to assist him.
Therefore, Qiu Tu came up with the idea of "order space".
After this period of experimentation, Qiu Tu discovered that although the strength of God Kings at levels 1-5 differed greatly, they were actually all within the same realm, and his "Order Space" could be used to their full potential.
It's just that the strength of the level four and five god-kings far exceeds that of Qiu Tu. If Qiu Tu wanted to directly use "Order Space" to annihilate them, the price he would have to pay would be too high, and he might also perish together with them.
But it doesn't matter. Now that he has "The Wrath of the Emperor", Qiu Tu doesn't need to directly annihilate those god-kings. He only needs to make them "feel fear" and make himself "infinitely confident" to perfectly unleash the effect of this "innate divine skill".
And this is precisely what Qiu Tu excels at.
So... Qiu Tu directly integrated "Order Space" into "The Wrath of the Emperor." He used "Order Space" to infinitely elevate his image in the eyes of his enemies to that of the strongest being they had ever seen!
Then, he used the "Order Space" to adjust his state, filling himself with boundless confidence and an aura of dominance that looked down upon the world.
As for the size comparison between the two sides and the detachment from the environment, these are all automatically generated by the "order space" based on the state of both sides.
With the help of "Order Space", Qiu Tu was finally able to maximize the effect of "Emperor's Wrath" and unleash the power of this top-tier "Destined Divine Skill".
Of course, even the top-tier "innate divine skills" must follow the basic principle of equivalence.
Qiu Tu is just an ordinary second-level god king. Even if he uses his top-level "innate divine skill", he can only unleash the power of a peak third-level god king.
So, despite his boundless power and seemingly comparable to a high-ranking god-king, he could only manage one move against a hastily attacked Heavy Stone God-King.
After he utterly destroyed the "Wall of Weeping Rock" of the Heavy Stone God King, he was already at his limit and had no way to attack the Demon Eye God King anymore.
But he had already put on a show for half the time, so he couldn't back down. That's why he deliberately kept the giant hand in front of the Demon Eye God King and said he would let him off the hook.
Actually... it wasn't that Qiu Tu wanted to let the other party go; he simply couldn't kill him anymore...
Regardless, the showmanship was successfully pulled off, and the effect was outstanding.
Qiu Tu believed that it wouldn't be long before news of his performance at the "God King Conference" spread throughout the entire "Execution Department," and even... the "Temple-West Branch."
At that time, he won't even need to do anything; his situation in the "Execution Department" will immediately change from what it was before.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu, sitting upright in his chair, slowly exhaled a breath.
He's done all he can now; the rest is up to him to see how things develop...
.....
Qiu Tu and the Heavy Stone God King were right.
The "God King Conference" is, after all, the biggest event of the year for each department, and all the gods are watching this conference closely.
After the "God King Conference" ends, all the gods will immediately inquire about what happened at the conference.
Soon after, everything about the meeting began to circulate.
When they heard that Qiu Tu had mastered the "innate divine skill," and had even fought head-on against the Heavy Stone God King and won, everyone doubted their ears.
Who? Qiu Tu?
What did you do? Mastered your "innate divine skill"? And then defeated the "Heavy Stone God King"?
When the news arrived, everyone was so shocked they couldn't close their mouths. Some even doubted whether they had misheard or if the source had made a mistake.
But after receiving the same answer from several people, they finally had to admit that it was all true...
Above the main hall of the Kingdom of Dionysus.
Elena leaned against the couch, drinking wine while listening to Qing'e's report.
As she listened, she even forgot to drink, staring at Qing'e in shock.
Perhaps she was too shocked to even lift her glass, and so... the clear yellow wine flowed down her fair cheeks, her graceful neck, and into her deep cleavage.
The clear yellow wine shimmered against her snow-white skin, making her look incredibly alluring...
Training Department.
After listening to her subordinate's report, Hua Wanwan was stunned for a long time.
