"You..."
Rosaline was so shocked that she couldn't utter a single word. One moment, Merlin was preparing his black hole technique, and the next, almost everything on the planet was destroyed. Don't miss out on m-vl-em-pyr
All she could see now was a red sky filled with countless black particles floating around.
It was an amazing sight, yet in this moment, all it brought was calamity.
"I guess they're lucky..."
She turned to look at the side where the guests, including the emperor, were watching everything.
At that moment, hundreds of different flowers could be seen enveloping a region at the corner of the palace.
This was the defense Rosaline had put up at the last possible moment before everything turned red. Otherwise, like everyone else on the planet, they would have also turned to ashes.
She looked around and saw Kane. He appeared fine, but a serious expression hung on his face as he looked somewhere far in the sky.
"They have arrived," Kane muttered, his eyes locked on something in the distance.
Rosaline nodded. She had already felt the presence of strong beings approaching the planet's atmosphere, and some were even stronger than her.
"So many lives were lost even with us here," she muttered to herself, blaming herself for the devastation.
Kane looked at his home planet, now nothing more than a scene of annihilation. All he could see was black dust particles and flat land. Everything on the planet, where life had once flourished, was destroyed and exterminated into nothingness.
All the people—all the guests who had come for the emperor's birthday and were waiting for the tournament to start—were now gone.
The dome around the palace was also destroyed, and those living in the outer cities beyond the dome weren't spared either.
Almost half of the planet had been turned into flat land.
Armin sneered, "I'm just stating the facts."
"Stop it, you two. This isn't the place for your bickering," the last man said solemnly. He had black hair down to his shoulders and appeared quite tall and heavily built.
He then turned to a woman with gray hair and said, "Suzan, do it."
The lady named Suzan had gray hair, a beautiful face, and was the shortest of the group. She wore a green outfit.
"Yes, Morkel, as you say." Suzan smiled cutely, like a little child, and waved her hands lightly.
Winds raged with the command of her hands, and the dust surrounding the area was blown away, revealing a scene that shocked everyone who looked on.
They saw Merlin standing in a crater, barely holding on. His clothes were torn, his face was blackened with dust and dirt, and his legs were trembling as he struggled to stand.
But his full attention was elsewhere. He was looking at the opposite end of the crater, where a gray-colored 16-year-old stood with a smile on his face. There were no injuries, no signs of fatigue—nothing. He appeared as fine as ever.
"Merlin, no one can save you today," Grey Orion said as he walked towards him slowly, step by step. "Remember what I said earlier? Not only will I kill you, but I will also kill Luna again after she fully revives, and I'll go after your bedridden daughter.
I will kill her mercilessly—all because you chose, once again, to kill me—kill Orion—when a peaceful ending could have been possible for both of us."
"You—you are a monster!" Merlin uttered in a trembling voice.
"I'm a monster?" Grey Orion laughed. "That's the most ironic thing I've heard tonight."
He looked at Merlin with a mocking expression and asked, "Have you forgotten so soon about the people you just killed? You exterminated an entire planet, and yet you have the gall to call me a monster."
