Chapter 1613 Sharp Tongue

Chapter 1613 Sharp Tongue

Before any of Nexus could answer, Varian replied. "I do."

Keman turned to him without any change in his expression.

And all of a sudden, Varian felt his vitality freeze and an unimaginable pressure on his soul, pushing his consciousness to the edge of eternal darkness.

"Just because you are allowed to speak in our presence, do you really believe you're as important as you think you are?"

He couldn't even move his lips properly but the power of slivers poured out of Varian and conveyed his words loud and clear, in full defiance.

"Of course I am fucking important.

None of you and especially not Yami have any chance of winning the God Emperor.

I have see him...in the God's Eye. And I've seen you today.

I'm not even a divine ranker but even I can tell that you're not even in the same league.

You're only alive because he's letting you.

The moment God Emperor believes it's time, your heads will roll and this game will end.

You are all pretending as if you're his equal. Stop this delusion. You're just his entertainment in free time. All his energy has been spent on God's Eye.

If you really want a chance at winning the being who stands at the top of the universe, you better pick the one who shows more promise instead of antagonizing him."

His words were blunt, harsh and honestly, a slap in the face at everyone present, particularly those of Genesis and Mors, who always tried to compare themselves as an equal of Jai.

Keman clenched his fist but snorted and leaned back into his seat.

The pressure on Varian vanished and he panted heavily, feeling life once again after coming from the clutches of death.

The members of Hortus were arranged to be seated in the area of Nexus and to assure Varian, Aphosis set up a lot of defense barriers.

Hortus vanished into inner space.

And silence ensued once again.

But unlike before the battle, this was a tense silence.

Every powerhouse from Genesis and Mors wanted Varian to lose and lose badly so they could take out his anger for what he said, even though every word he said about them was the truth.

Do not take this rule lightly.

The balance of alliance has been possible due to the neutrality of Nexus.

Should any of the empire break the rule, Nexus will ally with the other empire.

Please remember that neither Genesis nor Mors wants to share their power with their counterpart.

Immortal's existence, as miraculous as it might be, is a compromise both could trust.

But if they could help it, Genesis would prefer to rob the sliver from Mors and use it to create the perfect living being with two slivers.

The same goes for Mors.

This is why, please do not intervene."

Even though he spoke without showing even a hint of emotion, much less arrogance, Aphosis' words caused a shift in the atmosphere.

Yami and Keman looked at each other with a vigilant gaze before the two rulers glanced at their followers.

Neutrality of the audience when the two strongest parties were all backing Immortal was achieved with a simple rule.

'Divine and Rule'.

"Two, one of you must die." Aphosis looked at them with an indifferent gaze, as if they were two bulls left to fight till death. "As long as you don't use a divine-grade item, you are free to use any of your possesions including but not limited to treasures, pets, war slaves and elixirs."

Immortal sneered in disdain and punched his fists together. He's not going to use any of these puny treasures or slaves, even though he had access to plenty thanks to the strong backing he received.

As the future ruler of the alliance and the conqueror of Jai, he'd have to act in a way that would only inspire confidence and awe in the hearts of the powerhouses.

If he relied on external help today, it'd only dent his image.

"Varian, there is a herb that grows at the edge of blackhole near Mors. It has only one feature. It'll save a bit of your soul and not let you die instantly.

Since I want to beat you down for a long time, I suggest you fetch it for yourself. Don't worry, I'll wait." Immortal declared with confidence.

Varian smirked. "...Unless you were scared you'd die by hands and tried to get one yourself, how would you know so clearly about it?"

"That tongue...I'll rip it out!" Immortal's chest heaved up and down.

Aphosis glanced at the two of them and waved his hand.

"Let the duel begin."
