Chapter 1765: Punishment
Chapter 1765: Punishment
Fenrir looked at the angry familiars and looked at them with contempt. "Hello, losers! Look at me. You need to respect me even more from now on! I’m a cosmic wolf. A true god! Bow before me!"
Nathan’s eyebrows twitched. He thought he was going to let Fenrir off with something like cleaning up the battlefield. After all, Fenrir’s evolution almost destroyed Pangu’s domain, which would end up destroying this city.
If they hadn’t combined their efforts earlier, the outcome of this battle would have been different.
However, Fenrir just had to provoke them.
As he used to say, Fenrir did really love to shoot his own foot.
’You’re on your own now.’ Nathan just let out a long sigh.
"Jinwu, Nidhogg!" Xolotl harrumphed.
"!!!" Fenrir looked back, but Nidhogg’s claws suddenly smashed his head down while Jinwu pinned him down. "What are you doing? Unhand me, peasants! I said, Unhand me!"
Anubis walked toward Fenrir with a serious expression. "All right. We shall now proceed with the trial. Judgment! Death!"
"What? What trial? You don’t even give me a chance to say anything! This is why you are peasants." Fenrir grinned.
Xolotl coughed. "Of course. We will need to be fair. I will now list his charges.
"First, his evolution has almost crushed the domain."
"Objection! Nothing happened, so it’s all good!"
Xolotl shook his head. "It’s thanks to everyone’s effort that we managed to prevent it, or this city, including all the treasure within it, would be lost.
"Second, he actually chose to evolve in this situation. While the situation was tough, it wasn’t impossible. In other words, there was no necessity for him to evolve.
"He could wait and help the battle, but he chose to risk everything, which endangered everyone.
"Third, he looked down on the people who had helped him."
"Objection!"
"Overruled!"
"What?" Fenrir gasped. "That’s not fair."
"Objection!" Qilin came forward. Fenrir looked at Qilin in surprise. It looked like Qilin was actually trying to help him.
"If there is a prosecution, it’s only normal that someone has to represent the defendant. That’s a balance." Qilin nodded. "However, I rest my case."
"What?" Fenrir dropped his jaw. Qilin actually betrayed him right away.
Anubis nodded. "In that case, I’m ready to deliver the punishment. I’ve found Fenrir to be guilty of all charges. Endangering the mission, almost harming the comrades, unnecessary evolution, looking down on others, and because he is Fenrir. He’s guilty of all charges."
"What? That last one was definitely personal!" Fenrir protested. "You just want to bully me, don’t you?!"
The entire group fell silent.
"Oi!"
Anubis raised his paw. "I have made my decision. We will now declare that Fenrir is guilty. His punishment shall be decided by our summoner."
Nathan was startled. He pointed to himself, wondering why it came back to him.
"Ohhh!" Fenrir looked excited. He looked at Nathan, pleading with him so that he wouldn’t give him a punishment.
"Master." Garuda perched next to Nathan, saying, "If you don’t give proper punishment to this arrogant prick who endangered everyone, we’re going to riot. We will ask Selena and the others to stop coming into your bedroom. Of course, that includes Mae, Risa, Brunhild, and other familiars."
"Oi. That’s a threat! Your Honor, he has just thrown a threat!" Fenrir protested.
"Overruled."
"What?!" Fenrir glared at them.
"Why am I being dragged here?" Nathan shook his head helplessly.
"You are also the problem, Master." Garuda harrumphed. "You are spoiling Fenrir too much. Even though you have been telling the others that you are giving rewards based on merit, you have a soft spot for Fenrir.
"I know he has accompanied you the longest, and he is like a brother to you. However, there is a limit. How could you help him evolve in this situation? Besides, currently, the people with the most merit should be Mae and Anubis. Even if Mae didn’t take it, you should help Anubis instead.
"His ability was extremely versatile and it could help the group a lot. That’s why we want a bit of fairness."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Nathan scratched the back of his head. "I guess I have overdone it... But Fenrir has still done a lot. He helped inside the ziggurat as well."
"Oh!" Fenrir’s eyes brightened. "I’m going to help you with all the women you want!"
"..." Nathan smiled wryly. "To think that you want to kill me, Fenrir... You should know what Selena and the others will do if I get another woman."
"Ah." Fenrir’s face turned pale. He realized he had just shot his own foot again.
"Okay. I have made my decision. It’s true that he has helped a lot, so I will consider it before administering the punishment." Nathan crossed his arms and paused for a moment. "Back on Earth, I saw a lot of pets being dressed by their owner."
"No... Don’t say that..." Fenrir furiously shook his head, panicking.
"As such, I will dress him." Nathan raised his finger.
"Master. That’s not fair. He’s just wearing clothes!" Garuda protested.
"This is spoiling him too much." Xolotl nodded in agreement.
"At this rate, he won’t repent." Nidhogg snorted.
"Just shaming him as a pet is not enough." Jinwu also showed his objection.
"I think... this is a perfect punishment." Mae smiled.
"Mae?" Anubis widened his eyes.
"Are you spoiling him?" Qilin asked. It was clearly Mae who was spoiling Nathan, who was spoiling Fenrir.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. I’m not spoiling anyone. I just think that this is a perfect punishment. You just can’t see it." Mae chuckled.
"Huh?" All the familiars were confused, wondering why Mae said that.
Fenrir, who had gotten his hopes up, would actually regret it a few minutes later.
...
A few minutes later.
"Looks like we’re done here." Selena closed her eyes. Lilith then separated herself from Selena. "Yeah."
"A few of us will check the ziggurat." Alavenya pointed to the ziggurat. "You don’t mind, do you?"
"Sure." Selena nodded in agreement.
"Nooooo!" Suddenly, Fenrir’s cry echoed from the side.
Selena and the others couldn’t help but turn their heads, seeing Fenrir in tears.
The reason Mae thought this punishment was perfect was that Fenrir was dressed in a maid uniform.
It just gave a stark contrast to how he usually behaved.
Jinwu and Garuda were flying beside him.
"Summoner, I know you won’t disappoint us."
"Master. You’re the best."
Nidhogg perched on a building and shouted, "Mae, capture him perfectly. This is going to be a perfect image to be hung on the family’s mansion!"
