However, in the next second, she was stunned to feel his arm wrap around her waist, pulling her forward. When she came to her senses, Maxine found herself pressed against the impostor. She couldn't help but tense up and panic.As she attempted to break free from the impostor's grip, he said, "Thea is gone now, Maxine. You're the one I trust the most. We must work together, turn the tide, expose the conspiracy, and save the Greater Realms."Hearing James' words, Maxine felt weak all over, her pretty face flushing. She had been suppressing her feelings for James because of Thea. Now that Thea was gone, her feelings for him could finally be reciprocated.Maxine's heart raced as she felt his breath caress her face. She summoned the courage to look into his eyes.In that moment, everything seemed frozen, and they were the only two people in the world. Their mutual feelings surged like an uncontrollable torrent.Gazing at him affectionately, Maxine pursed her lips. Suddenly, the imposto
“Emperor Caden, something terrible has happened! Open the door immediately!” Rebella's urgent voice pierced through the thick door.The impostor, who had yet to fulfill his lustful desires, clenched his teeth in frustration. He seethed, “What perfect timing!”“It must be important.” Maxine seized the opportunity to push him aside and scrambled to put on her clothes.Before she could fully dress, the impostor forced himself onto her again and said, “Forget about her. She won't be able to break through the door.”Maxine shook her head and said anxiously, “No, James! We must focus on important matters! Rebella is the Jademora Empire's Vice Grand Steward. If she's coming to demand an audience, something significant must be at stake. You can't afford to ignore her—this could cost us valuable support…”The impostor, lost in his debauched intentions, was too preoccupied to heed the warning.Suddenly, a loud crash echoed through the palace. The supposedly impenetrable door, reinforced by
“I told you this impostor didn’t resemble Emperor Caden. Why didn’t you believe me?”“Indeed. We’ve fought alongside Emperor Caden through thick and thin. We know his true nature.”“This impostor is outrageous! He’s blatantly impersonating our Emperor.”“I had suspicions from when he returned, but there was no solid proof until now.”“Execute him. We must uncover his true identity and see how audacious he is to impersonate our Emperor in the Jademora Empire.”The fake James erupted in fury at the sound of their accusations. He unleashed a dazzling explosion of million-colored light toward them—a show of power intended to intimidate.However, the beautiful woman in the white veil calmly raised a hand. A shimmering purple-gold shield enveloped the officials, reflecting the burst of light back at the impostor.Seizing the moment, the fake James hastily put on his clothes and angrily pointed at the intruders. “How dare you invade my chamber without permission? Do you have no respect
The imposter’s voice sliced through the tension as the mysterious goddess in the white robe advanced."It's me, Emperor Caden! We've faced countless battles together. You're all my most trusted allies. Are you going to follow this unknown woman in defying me?"The officials exchanged glances, their expressions unreadable. Though they revered Emperor Caden, their loyalty stemmed not just from his name and power but also from moral and unconventional means.While the imposter mimicked James’ habits, he quickly dismantled James’ image through his illogical and bizarre actions since arriving in the Greater Realms. His blatant missteps had tarnished the emperor’s once well-respected reputation.Seeing no support from his allies, the imposter’s frustration boiled over. "So, this is how it is. You're all conspiring with this woman to overthrow me...""Who are you?" Clayton’s voice rang out sharply. "Do you know Franciscus, Zeux, Yianni?"The imposter's face twitched. He took a few hesit
“You all are nothing special. Your good days are numbered. The end is near. If you repent now, you might escape this catastrophe. If you persist, you will face a gruesome death, and your soul will be obliterated.”As the impostor raged in frustration, the mysterious woman slowly removed her veil, revealing a face of breathtaking beauty. It was none other than Lesia. At that moment, she was no longer Frona’s Soremsia, but an individual entity.The impostor’s eyes widened, momentarily transfixed by her unparalleled beauty beneath the veil. He had not anticipated such a mesmerizing woman to exist in the Greater Realms. With such a presence, she could easily outshine and outmatch any woman, including Maxine, whom he held captive.“You may wonder why our empire’s ancestors of the Greater Realms haven’t intervened yet despite your arrogant behavior,” Lesia continued with a hint of amusement, her hands clasped behind her back. “Even after Skynet’s destruction and the fall of the Celestial
In the Doom Realm of the Dark World, an absurd yet helpless scene unfolded in the Chaos Temple.Quattro, a man with a human body and a pig's head, stood arrogantly on the platform, adorned in a purple robe.Facing the senior authorities of the Doom Race who had just returned, he smugly planted his hands on his waist.“I thought you guys would stay in Forladtt Land forever. I didn’t expect you to be sent back here. What a twist!” His taunts infuriated the senior authorities of the Doom Race present, but they dared not speak out. Though cowered, they seethed with rage.“Since you’ve returned to the Dark World, you must abide by its rules.” With his hands on his waist, Quattro lectured them. “Don’t forget that James left the Dark World in my care. I’m the Heavenly Path here. I’m the Lord.“Whoever defies me defies James. It means you cut yourself off from the empire and all realms.”He began to pace back and forth.“I don’t care how powerful or arrogant you were, or how high your
“We are the Doom Race that intimidates all realms. Even if we are punished by His Highness, we maintain our pride.”“Wyot, you’re one of the Thirteen War Kings of the Jademora Empire. Quattro is merely a Marshal of the Dark World. You don't need to heed him.”Hearing the outrage of the senior authorities of the Doom Race, Wyot took a deep breath.“Stop talking. Are you trying to cause more trouble?”Upon hearing that, the senior authorities fell silent.Wyot slowly pointed at Quattro.“You must have been waiting for this moment for a long time.”Quattro laughed. “Hurry up and kneel. Once you kneel, I promise to grant the Doom Race abundant resources. I won’t treat you poorly.”With a bitter smile, Wyot shook his head and knelt on one knee.“I, Wyot Dalibor, the Doom Race’s Leader, greet the Lord of the Dark World, Mr. Quattro!”Quattro was ecstatic upon hearing that. Laughing, he said, “Wyot, you’re finally kneeling for me.”Wyot looked at Quattro, almost as if at an idiot,
On the platform, a handsome man in a black robe appeared. His hair swayed even though there was no wind, surrounded by a sacred radiance. He looked prestigious.A while later, Quattro shouted, “Who are you? How dare you…”“Quattro, stop!” Wyot immediately halted Quattro from making a move.Then, he stared at the man in the black robe on the platform, took two steps forward, and bowed respectfully.“Greetings, Mr. Jarren.”After that, the senior authorities of the Doom Race, who were initially stunned, all bowed.“Greetings, Mr. Jarren.”Upon seeing that, Quattro, who had been furious, was now bewildered.“Jarren? Why does it sound strange?”He then glared at the man in the black robe on the stage. “Are you sure your name isn't Forty-nine?”The man in the black robe, Jarren Caden, ignored Quattro and said to Wyot, “Please instruct your race to leave the temple. I have something to discuss!”Wyot was taken aback. Then, he turned around and signaled the senior authorities to le
