Divinity Out of Control

Wu Tang is a god of law who walks through the night. He has lost all his memories, and is indifferent, easygoing, and decisive in killing. Sent by the Temple to investigate a disturbance in the human realm, he accidentally awakens an evil ancient god who has been sleeping there. The evil god's crimson eyes are strange and bewitching as they open for the first time. His first words are: "You've finally come back." Wu Tang, worried that he has gotten himself into trouble and will have to endure another lecture from his superior: ? This guy's brain must have gotten damaged while he was asleep. According to legend, the evil god is immensely destructive, skilled at ruin and seduction. Any spirit or monster whose name is spoken by the evil god will come under his absolute control. Hoping to borrow this powerful and convenient ability to complete his mission, Wu Tang still chooses to sink into depravity and associate with the deranged, incoherent evil god, alternately coaxing and persuading him, soothing him while testing his limits. Unfortunately, the destructive nature in the other's bones is far too contagious. When the two gods join forces, they summon tsunamis with a flip of the hand and trigger nuclear fission with a turn of the wrist, each time going further than before. Not only are evil spirits and monsters fleeing in terror, but even the Temple's Inspectorate can't sit still. If they keep letting their instincts run wild, there's no telling who will destroy the world! At last, a whisper by his ear breaks through the final line of defense. It sounds like a strange name from antiquity, and Wu Tang is stunned to find his whole body stiff and unable to move. "Though you've forgotten who you are, your body still remembers." The evil god, who saw through everything long ago, has had his fill of playing and acting. He raises his wrist with a smile, inviting him with both passion and teasing mischief. "Come, my god. It's time to choose. Would you rather fall, or belong to me?" * The evil god Feng Se was born amid the absolute silence of primordial chaos, living in solitude like a trapped beast. Until a figure as pure and luminous as the bright moon came through the snow, shielding him from the endless darkness and murderous intent behind. "Who are you?" Young Feng Se looks up and sees a pair of red eyes exactly like his own. "The only evil god in the world." The other bends down to wipe the mottled blood from his face, his voice softening. "But now that you exist, that won't be true anymore." During the countless years the two gods relied on each other for survival, Feng Se learned every law in the world and gradually became an immensely powerful and terrifying being. But later, the guide who had stayed by his side day and night and taught him everything vanished without a trace. When they met again, the guide's divine core had shattered and he had forgotten everything. Even the smile in his eyes was false. Feng Se sees through every bit of deceit with ease, but he doesn't care. He willingly follows him into danger time and again, risking everything for an old friend while constantly trying to tempt him. "The good and evil, right and wrong of the eighty million planes mean nothing to me. If you want it, whatever it is, I'll do it for you."
