Sol Vestitor: New Age of God

Chapter 97: Infamy

After Interrogating Ashura for a long time, Sol finally understand the situation, Nasty rumor started to spread about him, it was not one or two new rumor but countless rumor.

Every rumor painted him in a very bad light, some said Sol was the one behind the Zombie attack, another said he was a follower of evil God who gave him power in exchange for blood sacrifice.

But the worse was he got painted for mass murder, ****, enslaving people, child abuse, some even said he did a genocide on the neighboring city.

A lot of people believe this rumor as they could not access the internet, there is no way to prove that he did none of that.

Sol wanted to strangle Ashura to dead but he knew it was not him, if it was really him then he would have run from the city rather than come to him directly.

It made Sol wanted to bash his head to the ground, the rumor about him before this was only made his morality questionable but now people directly despise him.

Sol went out of the house when the temples called him in, anyone who saw him would avert their eyes and run away with any given chance.

There is no proof that he did as the rumor said but there is no harm to be careful, people just did not want to take chances.

"Fuck! Who was it? If I found who it was then I will skin him alive so he knew what torture is!" Sol grumbles as he walked toward the temples.

Anywhere he went, it would become a deserted place as people were running for their life, Sol was indeed capable to massacre the civilian he met along the way but he was not a madman who disregard life, he had not killed any human yet.

When he arrived at the temple, all three Demigods was there waiting for him, they escort Sol into a building similar to a court building.

Every temple representative was there and the demigods never leave his side, it gave Sol a bad feeling.

"Demigod, Sol Vestitor, The Heir killer, Slayer of the dead, and Hero of the city, you are accused of ****, mass murder, genocide, kidnapping, and slavery, Do you have any proof that you are innocent?" A man in the judge's position asked him.

It took him aback as the question was wrong, in a court, they should give proof that he was guilty first but they were asking for him to gave proof that he was innocent, how can he prove something that never happens, it was simply impossible.

"Just contact the neighboring city, they can testify for me that I'm innocent," Sol told them.

"We can't do that, the city is under an emergency situation, and contact with the outside world is forbidden," the man said with a poker face.

Sol could only grit his teeth in frustration as they dismissed any proof he could think of, "Damn it, they are being unreasonable, how come rumor could be used to bring someone to a courtroom?" he complained in his heart.

"If you could not find the proof of your innocence then you will be found guilty," the judge said without batting an eye.

Actually, the rumor was spread by the Temple, the three leading temples see him as an obstacle for them to gain control of the mine and they lure the other temples with Sol's share of the gate tax.

They wanted to strip him from his right in the city by exiling him from the city, even though he could be a huge asset for the city, the temples only care about their profit.

"What will you do if I can't prove my innocence? Will, you put me in jail?" Sol asked with his eyes squinted, he let out the presence he usually suppresses, it gave everyone in the room a scare, the three Demigod was ready to intervene if Sol decided to use force.

Sol was not going to go without a fight as he was not at fault, he did nothing like what they accuse him of.

The room temperature started to went down as snowflakes form in the air, it was the result of Sol tried to amplify his presence rather than suppress it.

"No, Mr. Vestitor, we did not mean to punish you, we are just trying to assure the mass, they are afraid of your presence in this city, so we hope you understand and help us out by moving to somewhere you will not scare people," The judge said meekly.

The sudden change of tone made Sol grimace, not they played the guilty card, Sol could not be unreasonable with them, it was not as if they are going to imprison him.

The judge had chosen a nice word in saying they were exiling him, he made it as if he had a choice while there actually was no choice.

"Ugh... Fine!" Sol said reluctantly as he felt wronged.

The trial ended and Sol was escorted out of the room by the three Demigod, he was about to step out of the building when the fire demigod whispered to him, "That's what you get if you offend me."

Sol did not need long to connect the dot, everything was planned by the demigod, he could not help but get angry.

"Fuck it! I'm leaving this city anyway!" Sol grumbled in his heart as he conjured a ball of ice trapping both himself and the fire Demigod in it.

It gave the three Demigod a scare, the other two tried to break through the Ice to save their comrade but they could hardly pierce it as Sol used but Sun ice and healing dome ability to conjure the barrier.

Fire Demigod tried to conjure fire to defend himself but it would get extinguished soon as the ice barrier around him absorbs the heat within seconds.

"Stop! What are you doing? Aren't you afraid of the consequences?" The fire Demigod tried to dissuade him.

"My reputation already on rock bottom, what's wrong if I add another one on the list?" Sol said as he conjured an ice armor on his body.

Sol did not hold back and pound the man with everything he got, physically, Sol was stronger than the man, with the addition of ice armor, the man could not even fight back.

When Hilda and the lightning Demigod finally break the ice barrier, the man was already very pitiful, Sol broke both of the man's arms and face, he was tempted to kill the man but in the end, he did not.

He decides to be lenient and just cripple the man, He used the healing dome to heal the man's arm and nose in the wrong way, the man's arm was permanently bent backward and his nose bent to the side.

Being crippled was not a big deal for a Demigod as they could conjure things to fight with others but being crippled still painful for the man.

The other two Demigod got to the man to protect him, they looked at Sol in horror, "Sol, what are you doing?" Hilda said in her iron armor.

"I'm just giving him a lesson, its normal as I'm a bad guy, I kill as I like, enslave people as I like, what is wrong if I torture someone I find irritating," Sol retorted.

"Or maybe you two want to fight me as well?" he looked at them with a scary face, his anger could clearly be seen, "I won't hold back this time so I suggest you choose wisely."

In the end, Sol left the temple without fighting the two of them, they did not attack him so he left as soon as possible.

His temper scared everyone in the courtroom as they had conspired against him as well, they did not think he would suddenly blow up like that.

Sol went home and bring the other with him to the mountain, he planned to build a house near the lave where they had set up their mini-world.

The girls did not question him as they knew he was not in the mood to talk, Sol knew his deed would cement his reputation but he did not care, it was not like he could change his reputation.

Once they left the city, the news of Sol going berserk at the temples and cripple a Demigod was spread widely, the news spread to the whole city within a day even though the internet was not available.

Sol tried to construct a wooden house by the lake but he was not good at it, in the end, he just conjure an ice house for the time being.

He was contemplating if he should stay there or go to the neighboring city, he could get there and people there would welcome him happily for what he had done for them.

"If I could not get Justice to clean my name then I need to be powerful enough that people can't help but take my word as the truth," he made up his mind.
