Upon seeing the marriage contract, Wilda trembled even more intensely, and her expression suggested she was struggling even more internally."If you're going to kill me, just do it. Dying at your hands will be worth it," Remus said slowly before closing his eyes."I'll kill you!" Wilda roared, with increasing amounts of spiritual energy accumulating in her hands. It eventually became so concentrated that it turned into water droplets, demonstrating her immense power.Remus, who was below her, was completely defenseless. If she attacked, she could obliterate him instantly.Remus waited with closed eyes. What he said was indeed the truth. If Wilda really wanted to kill him for revenge, then he would let her. Some decisions, after all, could only be made in the face of life and death.He waited and waited, but the punch didn't come. All he heard was the sound of crying.When he opened her eyes again, she found Wilda had turned her head, unable to stop crying.Remus watched her walk
Remus walked out from behind the front desk, pushing the door open to step outside.Anthony knelt in the freezing snow, shirtless. His back was covered with thorn branches, and his skin was already bleeding from the pricks.The area around him had been cleared out, and a perimeter had been set up 300 feet away. There were people maintaining order at the front and a crowd of onlookers at the back.Remus' expression darkened. Anthony was clearly forcing him into a corner!"Mr. Cosby," Anthony spoke in a trembling voice as soon as he saw Remus, "it's my fault for not providing Preston with proper guidance. Please punish me as you see fit, and I will have no complaints."With that, he slammed his forehead heavily onto the ground.Remus looked at him with complicated emotions. He remembered the first time he saw Anthony at the airport. He had mistaken Remus as a VIP and was there to welcome him.Later, he realized Remus wasn't someone important at all and became arrogant. Eventually,
Remus spoke with such clarity and immersive detail that one could tell from the expressions of those below that they were already fired up, completely absorbed in his words.Remus raised his voice and continued, "So, scholars pass down the sages' wisdom, warriors continue lost arts' legacy, law enforcers set the standards, and craftsmen…"Only in this way can Darsia stand at the pinnacle of the world, enduring for generations!"The crowd erupted in thunderous applause."That's all I have to say. I don't want to take up any more of your time…"Remus waved to everyone and was about to leave. But just as he turned around, he suddenly stopped, as if only just noticing Anthony kneeling there.Everyone followed Remus' gaze, and the crowd suddenly became outraged."Damn him!""He should be executed!""How dare you insult the Thunderous God of War's partner? You deserve a thousand slashes!"Bad news always spread like wildfire. Everyone was already aware of the situation, especially
Hearing this, Wilda jolted suddenly, and anger returned to her expression that had only just begun to regain some calm."Home? Where is my home? Monington is where I was born and raised. Now that you've slaughtered everyone there, where else can I go?"Though she didn't shout, her words were spoken with a hoarse and exhausted voice, full of endless resentment."Monington may have raised you, but it has never been your home," Remus said slowly. "You are my fiancée and will be my wife in the future. Home is where I am. Come back to Centuria with me, back to the Cosby residence."Wilda turned her head to the side and, gritting her teeth, said, "There's no way we can be together—not now, not ever."That marriage contract doesn't count because I never agreed to it. Just leave. From now on, don't ever show up in my world again. Let's never see each other again!"These were her genuine thoughts. No matter how he tried to put it, the fact remained that he massacred Monington, and she cou
On normal days, guests were always coming and going. Unfortunately, up until now, no guests had come in today. Flynn hadn't returned, and the guests upstairs hadn't come down, either.It was as if only the two of them were left in the entire guesthouse.After another period of time, Wilda sighed and had to admit defeat.She turned and said, "Are you done yet? This is my guesthouse. Please leave immediately.""I'm not leaving!" Remus blurted out. "I'm here to enjoy the scenery and haven't had enough of it yet. No one can make me leave."He was simply being unreasonable."Whatever!" Wilda stood up and left, realizing that at this rate, they'd be stuck there forever. It was better to make a temporary compromise.She left the front desk and headed straight to the room on the first floor.After opening this guesthouse, she kept this room for herself. Although she no longer absorbed spiritual energy, the abilities she still had were enough to ensure her own safety.Remus didn't go a
"I've made pepper steak, so try it. It's my specialty."Remus sat across from Wilda and pushed her plate in front of her.Wilda paused for a moment but silently started eating.Remus smiled knowingly. Since she didn't refuse, it meant that his efforts here were paying off. Wilda was no longer the lofty top saintess, but rather a woman who had fully integrated into the secular world.When dealing with Wilda, the simplest tactic was relentless pursuit.He said, "I noticed there wasn't much food or seasonings in the kitchen. You haven't been eating properly lately, have you? That's not good. As the saying goes, 'Food is the essence of life.'"Don't worry. From now on, I'll cook three meals for you a day, without fail."Hearing that, Wilda's mental defenses began to waver uncontrollably. From what he said, he genuinely intended to stay there with her indefinitely, no matter how long it took.She wanted to blend into society, but how was she supposed to run her business here if he w
"The situation here has stabilized, so you can go back. Otherwise, that guy might take this chance to bring another woman home, and our house would be in chaos," Gabriela joked.The truth was, their presence there was mainly to boost morale. Now that it was over, they could go home."He wouldn't dare! We're here working for the country and the people. If he dares to bring someone else back, we'll deal with him when we return!" Kylie said, shaking her fist.The women glanced at her, all understanding that despite her defiant words, she was just putting on an act. Who could stop Remus from taking women home?However, it really was time to go back."I've arranged for a plane to pick us up. Let's head back soon," Jean said tiredly.The others all nodded in agreement without any objections.Miranda said, "You all go back first. I will stay a few more days. Although the haze has been controlled, the exact cause has not yet been determined. I will return once I have it figured out!"T
Miranda hung up the phone and hurried to the location mentioned in the call with the other women.Everyone gasped at the sight before them and expressed their amazement."How did an abyss appear here?""Thank goodness the haze is being emitted outward!""It's so big! How deep is it?"Ahead of them lay a crater with a diameter of a thousand feet. Looking down into it, all they could see was pitch-black darkness, seemingly bottomless.Originally, the intense red haze was already emanating from the cracks in the ground of this region. Although the cause was not identified, the haze could be contained by many warriors' fighting spirits.But right now, the haze was no longer seeping out through the cracks in the ground but was continuously pouring out from inside the abyss. Both its concentration and volume were far beyond what it was before.This meant that if an ordinary person were here and took just one breath of the haze, they would instantly die.Miranda's expression was ster
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.Before this, Darsia's citizens were unaware of the immortals descending to their realm. However, by nightfall, it became impossible to hide this fact, as 15 bright stars appeared in the sky.Darsia's citizens had all witnessed the past battle between Remus and the Upper Realms, so the current scene felt both familiar and not to them.The familiarity came from the unusual phenomena in the sky that night. The unfamiliarity came from the fact that there were no other unusual signs apart from these 15 stars, making it much smaller in scale compared to that night.Among these 15 stars, 13 of them were white and evenly distributed across various locations in Darsia. Another was gold, hovering directly above Centuria, while the last one was only faintly visible.The gold star was a Golden Immortal leading the 13 white stars, who were Celestial Immortals. And the last one was a heavenly official.The Golden Immortal an
If they didn't surrender, the people of Darsia would face casualties in the tens of millions.Of course, the most important thing was that no matter how hard the Mortal Realm tried or resisted, it could not even land a finger on the Upper Realms. If they were to fight, the outcome wouldn't just be one-sided—they would lose by a landslide.None of them could bring themselves to say it, but they knew the responsibility for doing this unpleasant task fell on them.The sound of sobbing rang out in the conference room again.Kaiser glanced around at the women, fully aware that no one felt more aggrieved than they did. However, there was nothing he could do. Despite being the president, he was powerless.Still, he had to ask, "Do any of you disagree?"None of them responded. They had countless things to say, but they all boiled down to the fact that they were simply not strong enough. If there were even the slightest chance of victory, they would resist without hesitation.Unfortunate
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
