James gestured, summoning a projection before the assembled group. The Marauder Warriors emerged, draped in dark crimson armor, each meticulously arranged in a formation. Banners soared high, announcing their presence with a silent proclamation. Their aura emanated formidable military prowess, casting a shadow upon all who beheld them.Dorvus and the gods of the Four Seasons stood in the forefront of the imposing army, their presence commanding respect.Witnessing this spectacle, Mantian furrowed his brow and asked, “That’s Xanthakos’ Marauder Army. Are they plotting an assault on the Wyrmscale Source?”James folded his hand behind his back and answered, “No. They answer to my command now.”At his declaration, a collective gasp swept through the divine assembly.Taichu looked at James in disbelief and asked, “Did…did you submit to Xanthakos?”James stared at her and questioned, “Submit? What do you think, Ms. Taichu?”Marius scoffed at Taichu’s question, “Absurd! Xanthakos isn

Zdravko drew a long breath and said, “Everybody has both good and evil tendencies, and the line between good and evil is often thin.“For instance, take Xanthakos—before ascending as one of the Five Path Emperors, he wasn’t inherently malicious. As one of the earliest beings to enter Zymurgy, he represented the epitome of virtue, striving for self-improvement and reaching the zenith of cultivation.”James squinted and murmured, “So good and evil are essentially contextual and based on circumstances, environment, power, status, and identity?”Zdravko looked at James and nodded in response.James asked, “Are you saying I might follow in Xanthakos’ footsteps? I will become self-serving, manipulative, power-hungry, and eventually abandoned by my loved ones?”Zdravko lowered her gaze and bit her lips, offering no response.James sighed and said, “I must admit, I do resort to deceitful tactics in power struggles as well. However, that’s only against opponents.“If I had the choice, I would n

James immediately appeared in an unfamiliar world. The surroundings were colorful and mysterious, with numerous Vital Energy in the air. Despite the delightful atmosphere, no traces of life were in sight.“I sense Vital Energy that can be useful to me, Master.”Suddenly, James heard Hemera’s voice.Fennec shouted eagerly, “I want to come out too, Master!”James scanned the area and then released them after confirming they were safe.Hemera and Fennec instantly spread out as if they had found treasures.The next moment, Hemera burned with dazzling flames as she absorbed the surrounding powers.Fennec also glowed with a blue light as he swallowed the potent winds. Their actions caused the mysterious world to shake.“Who dares to trespass my territory?”A sudden growl resounded, and a colossal palm descended from the sky.James raised his hand and released a Sword Light to counter the attack.Boom!James’ Sword Light blocked the giant palm’s advancements, and a loud explos

In the blink of an eye, Biefren unfurled his hands and soared into the sky. His hands morphed into colossal golden wings, beating against the air with force.A fierce gust of wind ensued, carrying a barrage of golden feathered arrows, tearing through the stronghold with a ferocious hurricane. The once sturdy defenses crumbled as if struck by a mighty force of nature. The ground quaked, and protective enchantments shattered like glass, releasing a cascade of divine artifacts into the air, a spectacle of impending calamity.“You must have a death wish!” From the heart of the storm, a figure charged forth with lightning speed. At the same time, the spread in the ground withdrew with a resounding buzz.Boom! Boom! Boom!An explosive shockwave erupted as the spear pierced through the void. The ground ruptured, forming gaping chasms that threatened to swallow all in their wake. But without so much as a glance, James effortlessly sealed the chasms, gently tapping his foot to the ground. The m

Biefren let out a soft hum.James took a deep breath and said, “That’s unusual. Whether your intentions are sincere or not, I appreciate your gesture. I’ll allow you to withdraw unscathed.Zaila’s expression darkened at James’ words. She replied coldly, “You’re very arrogant, James. Your stubbornness seems to know no bounds!”James shrugged and sneered, “Look at that. It didn’t take too much for your real attitude to come out. The intelligence of divine beings isn’t quite up to par with us mortals. “How dare you!” Zaila roared, brandishing her longsword. Behind her, the 10,000 soldiers of the Divine Army, arranged in four formations, marched forward with thunderous steps, their hostility palpable.Biefren furrowed his brow and asked, “Shall I break them up?”James waved his hand and answered, “No. It’s a fair fight between two armies. We don’t have the upper hand, but we can’t lose to their aura!”With the wave of a hand, a purple-gold beam shot up and instantly spread througho
