A few seconds later, a massive whirlpool surfaced, spanning a diameter of 300 feet. Seen from above, it seemed entirely dark, concealing its unfathomable depths.Along the vortex walls, numerous giant fishes and prawns swirled in its rotation. Faintly visible amidst them was a human figure."He's there! Don't let him escape!"The two Martial Imperials plummeted downward, resembling bullets plunging into the water, aiming directly at that figure.The vortex wall ruptured instantly, and that figure was also blasted apart. Surprisingly, the figure was nothing more than a formation of small fish, leaving the two utterly stunned by the sight.Without giving them a chance to regain their composure, another figure emerged 300 feet away, hurtling toward the Martial Imperial who was still on the water's surface.The Martial Imperial's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he instinctively raised a hand to block.Even with the defense in place, Remus still struck him with a punch, sending hi
Remus had divine energy protecting him, and his defense was stronger than before.Despite being hit by the Martial Imperial, his internal injuries weren't fatal. However, the Martial Imperial who had just launched a sneak attack was too self-assured, concentrating solely on offense without any defense.His body suddenly exploded from the impact, turning into a pile of shards."Die now!" The last remaining Martial Imperial didn't give up.He instead grew fiercer, striking Remus with every uttered word.The blows on Remus caused him to vomit blood repeatedly, with blood spots forming in his eyes.Though he had fallen into a disadvantageous position, he still persisted."It's over," Linnea couldn't help but say.The fact that Remus could have taken down five Martial Imperials on his own was already staggering, but ultimately, he couldn't confront the sixth one.Ana's furrowed brow showed her clear understanding. If the situation persisted, Remus' defeat was imminent. No matter ho
At that critical moment, the Martial Imperial's hands were forcibly twisted off by the two gigantic fish.Blood trickled down from his wounds, the extensive damage to his body proving too severe, leading to a loss of control over his internal energy.In the next moment, his body plummeted through the air, plunging into the sea below, where the awaiting fishes eagerly and frantically tore at him upon his descent."Save me, please!" the Martial Imperial's eyes were filled with terror as he pleaded for help, he gazed desperately at Bason in the distance.Before Bason could respond, the sea had already turned a vivid red.Remus also plummeted into the water. As he sat on the surface of the sea, he breathed heavily. Having lost a considerable amount of blood, his face was drained of color, resembling a sheet of white paper."Rubbish!" Bason's expression darkened again. He hadn't anticipated that the efforts of three Martial Imperials attacking simultaneously would still be thwarted,
Everyone stared at Remus as if he were a monstrous figure, yet no one understood the reason behind his manic laughter.The six Martial Imperials cautiously held back. They knew Remus was on the verge of defeat, and taking him down was only a matter of time. But they still had to remain vigilant. If Remus managed to kill another Martial Imperial, then this mission would be considered a failure as the loss outweighed the gain.Bason watched expressionlessly, curious about Remus' intentions.Ana and Linnea also kept their eyes fixed on Remus, not looking away for even a moment.The tourists aboard the cruise ship were overwhelmed by a sense of impending doom, reacting with ongoing screams and frantic attempts to flee as if Remus' laughter heralded the arrival of a malevolent force.Remus suddenly halted his laughter, his expression turning menacing. "Are you attempting to take advantage of the outnumbered? Well, I'll show you what it really means to be outnumbered!"Suddenly, he l
"Get lost!" the three Martial Imperials thundered furiously, incessantly throwing punches.With each punch, they sent hundreds of spirits flying, and with the next punch, they continued to blast away hundreds of spirits. However, the spirits were far too many as if beckoning an entire sea of spirits from past to present.Remus' body started trembling, his mind growing hazy, yet he gritted his teeth and persisted, knowing that if he collapsed, it would mean certain death.If he were to fall now, his Grandpa's ambitions, his parents who were still enduring endless torment, his six wives, and those three prospective fiancées he never met would all fade into mere illusions.He forcibly swallowed the blood gushing from his chest, gritting his teeth, and invoked, "The ice emerges like urgent rain, the devil whispers timidly, rise!"The ice blades falling from the midst of the dark clouds grew immensely dense, exceptionally sharp, and incredibly fierce.The ice blades relentlessly pound
"It's all about fate. No matter how strong someone is, there comes a day when they're exhausted. It's over!" Ana uttered subconsciously.Everything Remus had done seemed futile. In his bloody and weakened condition, there was no chance of winning even if they went on a one-on-one duel, let alone against six Martial Imperials.Linnea remained silent, her emotions in turmoil as she watched the scene with a mix of conflicting feelings.Bason finally seemed somewhat relieved. If the six Martial Imperials had been trapped again, it would have required his personal involvement, and he truly felt that Remus wasn't deserving of his effort.The six Martial Imperials looked down with disdain, their eyes held a smug expression as if belittling a mere insignificant ant. It wasn't about whether they could kill Remus, but about planning how to torture him to death."Charge!" Remus struggled to stand up from the ground but he rushed forward nonetheless, his speed no longer reaching the speed of
The killing intent transmitted by Remus made the spirits forget the fear of danger, and they charged vigorously toward the six Martial Imperials. At that moment, their sole purpose was to kill them.The balance had tipped, leaving the six Martial Imperials to desperately defend themselves as they were completely powerless to retaliate.Even though the spirits and ice blades weren’t lethal, the Martial Imperials began to panic. The spirits charged at them relentlessly, leaving them with no chance to launch an attack on Remus."Rubbish!" Bason observed from a distance, watching everything with an indifferent gaze."Charge again!" Suddenly, a command rang out beneath the battle formation, and the one giving orders was none other but Remus.The frozen sea surface suddenly cracked with a thunderous noise of ice rupturing, and immediately after, the ice forcefully burst open.The gigantic fishes that were killed by the Martial Imperials surged out of the water, baring their menacing te
Bason extended his hand casually, yet the immense energy covered on it eclipsed the sky. As he moved, the sea surface was pressed down, forming the shape of five fingers pointing downward.His intention was to seize the weakened Remus within his palm and crush him to death.Remus felt the overwhelming force suppressing him, desperately trying to resist but finding himself powerless.While he still had divine energy, his strength was scattered, his spirit drained, and the remaining divine energy was completely insufficient to defend against such overwhelming force."Is it really time to use that?" Remus murmured softly.He raised his hand weakly and tucked it into his pocket, preparing to retrieve the Black Jade.It was originally a gift bestowed by the Emperor of the Underworld as a favor to Rafael. The Black Jade allowed souls to return to the Underworld, where he would find a way to reincarnate them into a new body.In simpler terms, it was an additional chance at life. Howeve
Kaiser couldn't help but sigh when he saw them.This was his first time seeing them since Remus died. Judging by the state they were in, it seemed they hadn't finished mourning Remus.It makes sense. After all, he was their fiancé, as well as the greatest hero from ancient times to now. How could they easily move on from that?The ten women took their seats and turned to look at Kaiser.Gabriela said slowly, "Mr. President, you should consider dyeing your hair."At this point, his hair was completely white.Kaiser waved his hand and managed a smile. "In the past, I had to maintain Darsia's image, so I couldn't have any gray hair. Now that things are like this, there's no point in worrying about it. It's good to just let things be."Even with a head full of black hair, it could not change the impact caused by Remus' death, so there was no point in making a fuss about it.Kaiser paused and said, "I invited you all here today to discuss an important matter. Just this morning, the
The energy in the Underworld was currently in high demand, and the supply couldn't keep up. It was essential to reclaim the Pathic Energies to ensure the energy would continue to be released, and no one could stand in their way.Roman simply said, "I'm not asking what you would do if it was taken from you. I'm asking if there's a possibility it could be taken."The ghost kings couldn't help but look at him. If it were possible...Roman didn't give them much time to think and continued, "Let me put it another way. Even if Remus shows up, would anyone believe it was the Celestial Sovereign who saved him? Would the Celestial Sovereign admit that he was the one who rescued him?"Everyone, have you ever considered that the Celestial Sovereign has never publicly acknowledged that Remus carries his bloodline? If he suddenly denies it and claims that it was the Underworld that saved him, how should we respond?"The other fice sucked in a sharp breath.Paul was frustrated again. "Does he
Roman did not respond immediately and instead thought deeply about it with a serious expression.At this point, what happened to Remus no longer mattered. In fact, it might be better to say Roman would love to see Remus hurry off to fight the Upper Realms.But the issue was that people in the Upper Realms didn't know that Remus was still alive. What would they do if they saw him appear again? Would it affect Roman?It was like what the ghost kings initially thought—within the Three Realms, the only ones who could save Remus were Roman and Francis.Once Remus was exposed, Francis would naturally deny being the one who saved him, leaving Roman as the only one who could have done so. By then, he would become the target of everyone's criticism.So, before figuring out how to handle the aftermath, there was no way he could let Francis find out about this."Your Majesty?" Noticing Roman was hesitant to speak, the ghost kings couldn't help but urge him for a response.Roman took a deep
Remus didn't want to admit it, but he had to—here, he felt like he was immobile while the world around him was in constant motion.In other words, he had no control over what was happening and could only passively accept everything the world presented to him, without any right to refuse. The simplest metaphor was being forced to watch a movie while you were tied to a chair.Remus was feeling frantic again. It seemed he was truly trapped with no way out."Is Limbo really like this?" He felt powerless over the current situation. In his current state, he couldn't affect the Mortal Realm or the Underworld and was simply stuck here. If this wasn't Limbo, then what was?It was like how when a person died, it was not necessarily a complete disappearance. It could also be understood as being separated from friends and family, no longer able to meet, forever existing in different realms. Wasn't it the same case right now?Remus slowly descended into the forest, coming to a stop without any
Remus was shocked, staring blankly at the scene.Under normal circumstances, after reliving his life once, he should have just faded away. That was how it usually was for ordinary people. So, why hadn't he disappeared, and why were the scenes starting to repeat?As expected, after Remus snapped out of it, he heard voices coming from the mountaintop. It was once again the scene of Tyson holding a ruler, disciplining a sobbing Remus."Why... Why is this happening?" Remus muttered to himself, growing more and more shocked. "Is this what the so-called Limbo looks like, or did something go wrong?"For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel happy or worried. Naturally, he was happy because he still existed, but he was also worried because the current situation felt too unfamiliar.Remus remained calm and continued to look ahead. The scene shifted to the front of the prison, then to Kylie calling off their engagement, and then to various moments shared with the other women from his pas
"No!" Remus roared, feeling a bit panicked.According to human processes, after reliving one's memories, the spirits would depart the body as a farewell to the Mortal Realm, and the physical body would begin to decay and turn to dust.If that was the case, wouldn't he fade away into nothingness after revisiting all his memories as a specter?"No, no!" Remus started shouting, trying to stop it, because this was the final act of his specter. Once this moment passed, he would completely vanish into nothingness, and he was doing everything he could to prevent that.Unfortunately, the situation in front of him wouldn't change just because he willed it to. The result would be the same as from the start, continuing to unfold bit by bit."Candace Nightingale!" Remus shouted once again. Seeing Candace nearly being squashed by the Pathic Energies, he couldn't help but wish he could lend a hand in it. If she had been killed then, he wouldn't be filled with such regret now.The scene was sti
When Remus saw this, he suddenly started laughing.This scene was from when he first arrived at the prison. He was indeed nervous and worried outside the gate. After all, it was his first time coming down from the mountains and entering the outside world, especially since Tyson said this was the most dangerous place in the world.Because of that, he was extremely cautious when going in, afraid of getting beaten up. It was also here that he parted ways with Tyson, and he hadn't seen him since then.Remus looked at Tyson, wanting to take a closer look at him, but the scene changed once again.It was three years later, when Kylie came to break off their engagement. Adorned in luxurious designer brands, she arrogantly said, "We belong to different worlds. Give me the marriage contract!"If it weren't for the fact that she was a girl, Remus would have definitely given her a rough time. Why bother putting up an act?The scene shifted again. This time, he was at the Bowen family's luxur
Remus stared straight ahead for a moment, then began frantically looking around. All he saw was a dense forest surrounding him. There was no sign of Tyson anywhere.What terrified him even more was that when he looked down right after that, he discovered he had no body or spectral form.Remus quickly raised his hand, wanting to touch his arm, attempting to see if he was simply concealed. However, he unexpectedly couldn't feel his arm! It was as if he only had a pair of eyes to observe the world, and no one else could even see these eyes."How did this happen? What is this place?" Remus was completely panicked.Why did he see a scene from over 20 years ago? Did he travel back in time? Or was this scene simply playing itself back to him? Where exactly was he?The sound of a slap interrupted his train of thought.Remus sharply turned to look, and to his surprise, he could see the top of the mountain along the path.At the summit was a small thatched house, and in front of it sat a
Unfortunately, the problems kept coming one after another.Grant said, "That's a good idea, but how can Remus return to the Mortal Realm or even reach the Upper Realms? He's currently a specter and isn't able to go there!"The other four ghost kings froze. The favorable outcome made them overlook the necessary process. Remus couldn't reach the Upper Realms, which meant the fight between him and Francis couldn't happen.They all turned to look at Roman.Roman frowned deeply. There was actually a way to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm. Remus would have been able to think of it too, but he just couldn't see what was right under his nose.There was a term called "Soul Return". Remus could find a recently deceased body and enter it, allowing him to return to the Mortal Realm.But Roman's statement about not being able to help Remus return to the Mortal Realm wasn't a lie, because no resurrected body could ever match the strength of Remus' original form.Even if his specter poss
