Chapter 624 End of the Synder Empire
ke sat in silence with his gaze pinned on Azkelwart who drank his tea in silence. As soon as he had emptied the content of his teacup, Azkelwart put the cup aside and turned his attention to ke.
"Bing the All-Father,"He responded to ke''s question.
"What?!" ke eximed in shock as he couldn''t believe his ears.
ke''s body jolted in shock as soon as he heard those words. His mind was prepared for numerous possible responses, but never did it cross his mind this would be Azkelwart''s answer to his question.
"We have only one chance to do it, so we have to make it count," Azkelwart said, seeminglypletely unaware of the turmoil in ke''s mind.
"Doesn''t that mean…" ke''s eyebrows furrowed as he spoke, but Azkelwart cut him off. N?v(el)B\\jnn
"Cassius will relinquish his role as the all-father when the timees, so you don''t have to worry about him," Azkelwart chuckled since he understood ke''s worries.
Only after hearing this did ke let out a sigh of relief. At this point, his mind drifted back to Azkelwart''s initial words about himbining the second and third stages.
"What did you mean when you said I mustbine the second and third stages?" ke asked.
"To be the All-Father, you have to prove to the Mother-Stream that you are worthy," Azkelwart exined. "To do this you have to help the inhabitants of the realm,"
"The first stage would be freeing the human race from its unjust captivity." Azkelwart continued. "This alone would go a long way as it involves the entire realm,"
As ke listened to Azkelwart''s exnation, he understood the reason behind the first task.
"With that, once you enter the main realm you would continue to prove your worth to the Mother Stream while in search of Gods and their inheritances," Azkelwart said and ke nodded in understanding.
ke silently mulled over Azkelwart''s words, and he understood this would not be an easy task. He was tasked with saving the human race from prison and defeating Gods for their inheritance. If this wasn''t rted to the survival of the infinite realm, ke was certain he would have politely declined.
"Ooh, remember that there would be some traitors also vying for the position of the All-Father, so it won''t be an easy mission," Azkelwart added and keughed bitterly in his heart.
Even without the traitors getting involved, this could be considered a very dangerous task. With the traitors included, it was not only dangerous but tricky as well.
However, he understood that if a traitor became the All-Father, they would do the same thing as Valerius. This was the worst-case scenario ke was determined to prevent at all costs.
At that moment the door to the room opened and Zultra walked in, his appearance was a carbon copy of Azkelwart. As if in response to his return, Fury''s voice echoed across the room, and this got ke''s attention.
"Wee back home…"
"Nice to hear your voice again, Fury," Zultra responded with a light chuckle. "Long time no see Zultra or should I call you Professor Hoffenheim?" ke said with a smirk.
Hearing that name, Zultra couldn''t help but smile deeply.
"My favorite student!" He eximed excitedly. "I heard about all the wonders you were doing," Zultra said.
Although he had stayed in the Synder empire for years, he never saw it as his home. Because of this, he wasn''t bothered when ke turned rogue, instead, he was fascinated by his aplishments.
"It''s nothing much," ke responded earnestly. "To be honest, it''s all thanks to Ebony and Ivory."
Saying those words, ke smiled at the two puppy-sized wolves and patted their heads, causing them to bark joyfully while they wagged their tails.
"By the way, thanks for the gift," ke said to Zultra. "It saved my life"
Hearing this, Zultra simply smiled and patted Ebony and Ivory''s heads as well.
"It''s nothing much, I am really d it was useful," he said.
He then turned his attention to Azekelwart, and a bright smile bloomed on his face.
"d to see you, Dad…" Zultra said.
… Meanwhile…
Dorian appeared in the sky, in his right hand was a beating heart and some distance away from him was Emperor Synder who stood like a statue with a look of shock on his face.
His armour was battered and broken, and his face was covered in blood. There was a gaping hole on his chest and if one looked carefully they would be able to see primordial darkness dancing within him, eating away his insides.
The emperor swayed a bit in midair, with a reddened face, as he struggled for the veryst time. His vision of Dorian wielding his heart became blurrier, and he instinctively reached for it.
Bam!
Dorian clenched his fist and crushed the heart. The dying Emperor shed a final look with a face mixed with pain, hatred and denial before falling off the sky.
At that moment, Cassius appeared, but his condition was worse than Dorian''s.His body was riddled with bruises and some spots on his attire were soaked in ck blood. His body swayed back and forth as it struggled to remain afloat. Seeing this, Dorian appeared by his side and quickly supported Cassius. Dorian''s pensive gaze nced around in hopes of finding the corpses of Cassius'' foes, but after searching, he realized that nothing hade out with Cassius because the bodies of the two deities had been destroyed.
The appearance of these two could only mean one thing, the Synder empire had lost! Their Gods and Emperor had been defeated, this shattered the fighting spirit of the forces of the Synder empire.
With no choice left, they quickly surrendered, even though Cassius was clearly hurt from his battle. They all knew, that even in this condition, they still didn''t stand a chance.
They understood that the difference between a being like Cassius and them was just too great.
Weapons began being dismissed from the hands of the Synder empire soldiers. They all knew that with the conclusion of this war, the glorious age of the Synder empire hade to an end.
