Elsa coldly asked, “I was at fault for leaving you initially, but did you ever look for me? Did you ever think of me after you became the Supreme One?”
Sebastian replied, “After you left, I searched for you for a whole year. But you disappeared without a trace. I eventually gave up. Even if we were no longer lovers, we were at least
friends. Yet you chose to betray me. Even now, you remain stubbornly misguided. I misjudged you back then.”
Elsa sneered. “Sebastian, don’t waste your efforts. You are at an absolute disadvantage now. You say all this just to win me over, but I won’t fall for it.
“Seasons have changed. Your time as the Supreme One is over. Now, Celestial Master Thorne has ascended. It is only the will of the heavens to surrender to Celestial Master Thorne. If I were you, I would immediately kneel to Celestial Master Thorne and pledge allegiance. Celestial Master Thorne might just spare you!”
“That’s right! Kneel and surrender to Celestial Master Thorne!” Yale demanded.
Sebastian let out a bitter smile. “I saved your life back then and helped you become a God of War. Here you are, repaying my kindness with enmity. Have you no conscience?”
A flicker of shame crossed Yale’s face. However, it was a fleeting glint.
“It is precisely because you saved my life that I am urging you to surrender. I am saving you! “Yale argued.
Sebastian shook his head with a mocking smile before slowly saying, “Listen up, traitors. Considering your past contributions to the nation, if you abandon wrong for right, kneel, and admit your mistakes, I will give you a chance. If you persist in your wrongdoings, death is the only path left for you.”
A few hesitated, but seeing that others remained unmoved, they, too, stood firm in their resolve.
“Hahaha!” Magnus couldn’t have been more pleased seeing this scene. “O” Supreme One, do you see it now? I am the true ruler of Supreme Nexus. Your rule has long ended. Getting on your knees and submitting is your only way out.”
“Magnus, do you really think you’ve already won?” Sebastian asked with a smile.
“Of course! I have dozens of grandmasters on my side, while you have only two or three. The strength disparity is obvious,” Magnus replied arrogantly.
Sebastian exhaled a smoke ring and asked, “What if I told you that to me, these people are nothing but a bunch of weaklings I can easily take out with a flick of my hand? Would you believe me?”
These words infuriated the Elders and the Gods of War present.
They were grandmasters who were powerful in their own right. Although not on par with the Supreme One or a Celestial Master, they were still heroic figures.
It infuriated them to no end to be dismissed as mere weaklings by Sebastian.
Magnus laughed heartily upon hearing this. “O” Supreme One, you’re still bluffing even at this point. Here’s something you don’t know. Unfortunately, I made a breakthrough in my cultivation base not long ago. I’m already halfway to becoming a grandmaster. I’m just one step away from becoming a supreme divine grandmaster!”
“Celestial Master Thorne is already a pre-divine grandmaster. He’s incredible!”
“Divine grandmasters are as rare as diamonds, and they are typically reclusive. A pre-divine grandmaster is technically invincible. It’s our honor to be Celestial Master Thorne’s followers.”
The Elders and Gods of War, who were initially doubtful, felt completely at ease upon learning that Magnus was a pre-divine grandmaster.
However, Lord Drakaria, Gina, Joseph, and Zia had a drastic change in their expressions, their eyes filled with worry.
“O’ Supreme One, we are outnumbered. Perhaps we should retreat for now. There is hope as long as we’re alive,” Gina quietly advised.
