Shang looked at the God on his throne.

"What would you have had me do if I chose 22 without an interesting reason?" Shang asked.

The God lifted his left hand, and the hammer of the jester appeared in it.

"As you know, I regularly change my decisions on a whim."

Shang didn't say anything.

The God looked at the hammer. "You wouldn't have directly killed someone, but you would have indirectly killed thousands."

Shang took a deep breath when he heard that.

"I would have given you this hammer," the God said with a grin, looking at the hammer.

Then, he looked at Shang.

"And would have asked you to hit Warrior's Paradise's foundation."

The hairs on Shang's neck stood on end.

"And what would have happened?"

The God only smirked. "Can't you imagine?"

"It would have toppled over like a tree."

Shang felt a deep, black hole of terror open in his chest.

Yes, Shang could deal with killing his enemies.

But killing thousands of innocent people?

Destroying the very thing he had called home for over a year?

Shang imagined the gigantic city falling over and turning into rubble.

All the smiths, alchemists, warriors, Mages, children, guards, clerks, nearly everyone would have died.

Only True Mages and Commander Stage warriors could hope to survive such a disaster, and their survival wouldn't even be certain.

The God only smirked as he saw Shang's expression.
