So, Iris was also here to offer advice.Remus calmly said, "So, do you not want to lie down?"Without waiting for her response, Remus continued, "If you don't want to lie down, then get lost. You're nobody to me, and I certainly have no feelings for Darsia."Whether they live or die is none of my business. Besides, I'm barely able to take care of myself right now. How could I possibly help anyone else?"They say that you should help the world if you're healthy, and take care of yourself if you're poor. Right now, I'm very poor!"Iris looked at the ground again, her face full of conflict. She pondered deeply until she made a decision. She said straightforwardly, "Mr. Cosby, I like you!"Her words were spoken with the utmost seriousness, as if she was finally letting out the feelings that had been pent up in her heart for years."Huh?" Remus was taken aback.Since Iris had already spoken, she felt no burden to continue and said, "It's true. You could consider it admiration for so
Remus kept muttering to himself, and by the end, he was almost choked up with emotion. They said men did not easily shed tears, but that was only because they hadn't reached a point of deep sorrow yet.If he were still a lone wolf, he would have been alone like when he first came out of the mountains, not caring about anyone.But as he continued, many people began to follow him, and he now carried the hope of many people—his fiancées, his parents who were suffering, and Darsia's 140 million citizens."No, I can't give up here. I can't!"Remus struggled to sit up, slowly closed his eyes, and began to absorb spiritual energy to suppress the intense pain. He then attempted to circulate his fighting spirit throughout his body to clear his meridians.In the distance, Eva raised her hand to cover her mouth, tears streaming down her face as she tried not to make any noise. She looked at Remus, feeling even more heartbroken at that moment.Before this, she truly believed he had given up
As the commanding officers discussed, Gabriela suddenly pointed to three different spots on the map."Sakurasom, Talonia, and Beloski! If we need to strike first, we need to focus on these three spots!"When Gabriela spoke, everyone immediately went silent. When they saw the positions she pointed out, their eyes lit up. These three positions were excellent. Once secured, they would be advantageous both offensively and defensively.However…A commander cautiously asked, "Ms. Valentine, are you sure you want to initiate the attack?"Indeed, if they followed Gabriela's instruction, it would mean taking the initiative to attack. In battles, the side that made the first move often suffered greater losses.Therefore, the best strategy for Darsia at the moment would probably be to focus on defense. With its vast territory and large population, it might be able to hold out for a while.If they made the first move and get trapped by these three nations' warships, their defensive capabi
Jelun was stunned, too, having never expected this outcome.Just like everyone, he thought Darsia should have surrendered under pressure.After all, once the was started, there was no turning back. Darsia had 140 million citizens, so how could Kaiser risk all of these people's livelihoods?In other words, if Kaiser failed, he would go down in history as a villain. How could he dare to attack first? Moreover, they even managed to cause three countries' downfall in a very short time.Clinton was sweating profusely. Before this, he had been a staunch supporter of the offensive strategy, so much so that he lost sleep because of excitement over Jelun's decision to launch the attack. He had never expected Darsia to be so formidable.Clinton continued, "It's true. The three nations are completely helpless against Darsia. So far, their combat facilities have been utterly destroyed, leaving them with no capacity for further attacks."In other words, these three countries have been complet
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing Gabriela's order. It was understandable to move the citizens into the underground shelters, but wasn't launching all weapons at Amelicon a bit too risky?A commander said, "Ms. Valentine, Amelicon is one of the most advanced nations in the world. Our weapons are highly likely to be intercepted and may not achieve the intended effect."Another commander chimed in, "That's right. With the weapons we have left, we could easily overwhelm the smaller surrounding nations, and they wouldn't be able to defend themselves."But when it comes to facing Amelicon, our chances of winning are slim! Ms. Valentine, please reconsider."Gabriela didn't turn around and instead replied with a question, "Do you all think we're doomed to fail?"Everyone was silent, knowing she had hit the nail on the head.Even if they launched a sudden attack and took down three countries, shocking the entire world, no tactics would matter in the face of absolute power.There wer
Aside from the equipment malfunctioning, the commander couldn't think of any other reason for what he was seeing.After all, Amelicon was the most powerful country. For many years, no one dared to challenge it or even come close to its borders. How could there be so many weapons appearing on their radar now?In the command room behind him, dozens of staff members were seated in front of computers.At that moment, it seemed like no one was listening to him. Everyone was staring at the screen in shock because they couldn't believe that someone actually dared to challenge Amelicon."Speak up!" The commander was livid. "You bunch of idiots, I'm asking you whether the equipment is broken!"Upon hearing his roar, the staff finally snapped back to their senses. One of them immediately stood up and said, "All equipment is functioning normally!""Commander, according to the equipment readings, all the weapons are from Darsia.""According to our calculations, we will be under a full-scale
Clinton hurried over from behind, his voice filled with anxiety. "Sir Jelun, according to the latest information, Amelicon's command structure has completely collapsed."All the survivors have taken to the streets and started looting. Society's order has collapsed. Also, our family's business has become a main target this time. All the properties have been destroyed by explosions!"Amelicon being bombed was still acceptable, but if the Rose family met the same fate, the losses would be too overwhelming.The Rose family's current success relied on two main pillars. The first was finance, but now that the war had started, their financial order was already in chaos.The second pillar was high technology. But now that the industrial complex was bombed, this pillar had vanished. At that moment, both their pillars had collapsed."Damn it!" Jelun was furious. "Instruct them to bomb Darsia. Leave no room for mercy, and make it an all-out assault. Quickly! I want Darsia to disappear foreve
A serious expression appeared on Remus' face. He had no idea when his feelings for Darsia had grown so deep, to the point where he thought about it all the time."I need to keep trying," he gritted out, then slowly closed his eyes and continued absorbing spiritual energy, suppressing the pain. This was the only thing he could do right now!…Back in Darsia, the once modern and stylish city was now completely gone. It was replaced by smoke and flames, ruins and rubble, with scenes of human tragedy everywhere.Because directing all the weapons toward Amelicon meant temporarily losing the ability to defend itself, it left Darsia with no choice but to take the bombing passively.In the underground command room, a commander spoke with difficulty, "Ms. Valentine, according to the latest information, fleets from dozens of nations, including Estrary and Talonia, have already reached the coast."They could arrive at Darsia at any moment! A rough estimate indicates that the first wave of a
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
