"The Purgatorial Tripod must be returned to the royal family. Odin, if you are smart enough, do not make this more complicated. If you insist on going your way, then I will also be forced to deal with this matter according to the law of the Shura Race!" the king said seriously. In the end, he could not let anyone outside the royal family possess the Purgatorial Tripod.
"I already professed the very reason why I cannot hand the Purgatorial Tripod over. If you still want to take it from me by force, then I'm afraid I will do my best to protect it with all my might," Rocky answered with a straight face. Even if he ended up deliberately disobeying the order of the king, he would never give Enoch the chance to steal the Purgatorial Tripod. After all, this would only cause a large-scale disaster that would be irreversible.
After hearing Rocky's firm words, the whole palace was taken aback. No one expected Rocky to blatantly refuse the king's order. This was indeed equivalent to disobeying the authority of the entire royal family.
"Do you see it now, Your Majesty? This guy definitely has ill intentions!" Enoch immediately uttered, adding fuel to the fire.
"Odin, does it have to reach to this extent?" Layla reminded Rocky.

if he did not do something, it would be difficult for him to escape the palace. However, if he did that, he would surely have a falling-out with the royal family. It was too soon, and it might jeopardize his plans. Nonetheless, he was already in an unfavorable position, so he had to act according to the situation and just alter his plan afterward.
But at this most critical moment, when the atmosphere in the hall reached the most chaotic point, a Spiritual Emperor suddenly rushed into the hall and reported, "Your Majesty, Prince Zain has woken up! He wants to talk with you alone."
This immediately changed the tide of the situation as if a bomb had been defused. The members of the royal family looked at each other. The timing was indeed perfect for Zain to regain consciousness. With this, the truth should be solved soon. The fact whether Rocky stole the Purgatorial Tripod or Enoch colluded with the demonic race would be soon clarified.
"I will be there right away," the king immediately said. While he walked through the door of the hall, he turned around and said, "No one is allowed to leave this hall, especially Odin! Wait for me to come back." After saying that, he quickly left the hall and went to where Zain was.
