Chapter 7165
"This is the issue." James turned to stare intently at Emperor Yevgen. "A puppet controlled by Xanthakos Qadeer was powerful with just a trace of Nothingness Dead Energy. Imagine how formidable Xanthakos himself must be." 'T-This..." Emperor Yevgen's face twitched. "Are you saying that Emperor Qadeer has been feigning weakness and hiding his true strength all along?" James nodded slightly.
"That doesn't make sense." Emperor Yevgen furrowed his brow. "If he was truly that powerful, why would he need to instigate a war across the Forty-Ninth Heaven? He could have simply killed Lord Goyo and a few Path Emperors to seize control." 'That is another problem." James clasped his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowed into slits. "Why would he use such roundabout methods if he has the strength to take what he wants directly?" "He wants to divert attention," the Divine Marius said with a cold snort. "By inciting chaos, he could involve all the powerhouses of the Forty-Ninth Heaven in the conflict, while he stealthily sought out Wuia Palace to seize the Path Designation Bead. "With the bead in his possession, he would becthe undisputed ruler of Haleth Realm, acting as the Path without the title." The Divine Marius then looked at Emperor Yevgen. "At that point, we, including our master and Lord Goyo, would be his subjects. Whether we live or die would be at his whim." Emperor Yevgen gasped after hearing this. 'This is truly sinister!" Just as his words fell, Emperor Xianelle, who had been trapped by James' dozen Path characters, suddenly exploded with a thunderous crash. Her skeletal remains scattered, but James swiftly gathered them with a wave of his hand. He could not allow any bone to fall into the myriad realms, as it would cause untold harm.
"You," James' voice suddenly echoed from the void, "the so-called exalted Alcide beings, I offer you a choice now. Surrender and guarantee your safety, or resist and you will all perish, returned to where you belong.
"As for the Divine Army, I don't need to say anything more." With a wave of his hand, a radiant longsword flew into his grasp from the myriad weapons in the void. Another sweep surrounded the Alcide powerhouses with the Divine Army. In an instant, the fallen weapons returned to the army, and the battlefield brimmed with killing intent.
The encircled Alcide beings looked around in terror. They were unsure of what to do next.
"Those who submit will live, and those who resist will die. What more is there to say?" Emperor Yevgen roared suddenly. 'The Alcide beings are not superior to living beings. You're just higher-grade slaves, while the living beings are lower-grade slaves." Hearing this, the Alcide beings exchanged glances. Seeing the fierce expressions of the Wyrmscale Source powerhouses around them, they stood their ground with straightened backs. Clearly, they had chosen to die rather than associate with the inferior beings. They were determined to preserve their dignity.
"Stubborn fools!" The Divine Marius turned to James. "Master, kill them all. They are just a gas." James took a deep breath and slowly raised his hand.
At that moment, a powerful voice echoed from the Terythor Universe." Wait, James! If you kill all these Alcide beings, you will fall right into Xanthakos' trap." Hearing this, James frowned. The Divine Marius and Emperor Yevgen turned towards the source of the voice. Their faces filled with astonishment.
