Aphrodite thought her heart was pierced by something sharp.

Some distance away, Nox walked Queenie to her car. Before she left, Queenie hugged Nox and said something to him. Aphrodite could only watch while her heart throbbed with pain. She glared at Queenie with venom in her eyes.

After Queenie was out of sight, Nox made his way back up, but he felt something and stopped in his tracks. Then he turned his eyes to Aphrodite's hiding spot.

Aphrodite quickly cast a Presence Hiding Charm and held her breath. Nox lingered around for a long moment. When he was sure no one was hiding, he returned to his estate.

After Nox was gone, Aphrodite heaved a long sigh and gulped in some fresh air, as well as Houston, who nearly suffocated.

"Milord, did you see that? That's him. He's still alive. Lord Nox is still alive," said Houston like he'd seen a ghost.

"Shut up!" Aphrodite screeched maniacally, and Houston almost fell.

"I can't believe he's still alive. Even after he's afflicted with Kirin

    "Are you worried about Ms. Sanders, milord?" Keith asked.Nox didn't answer. He had no idea why he had this ominous feeling. A moment of silence later, he said, "Perhaps. Keith, I'll need you to keep Queenie safe. Nothing must happen to her!""Yes, milord," said Keith.After the Battle of the Ten Nations, the person Nox cared about most was Queenie. No matter what, he wouldn't let anyone or anything hurt her, especially not when their wedding was drawing near.…Aphrodite was in a luxurious presidential suite, gloomy and brooding. She held a golden dagger, slicing and cutting a photo of Nox. The photo was already tattered, but that didn't stop her. Her fury was unabated.Behind Aphrodite was Michael, still standing silent like a log. A long while later, someone rang the doorbell, and Michael opened the door.Houston hurried into the room. "I found it, milord," he reported to Aphrodite.Aphrodite was still cutting up Nox's photo. She ordered, "Tell me, Houston. Who's the bitch w

    "He's going to marry an ordinary woman? How is this possible?"Houston remained kneeling. "But it's true, milord."Aphrodite was having a breakdown after hearing the news. Fury and jealousy were clouding her mind. She clenched her fists, her eyes crimson with rage. "I'll kill her! Houston, find out where she lives! I'll destroy her myself!""I'll drag her through hell! No one crosses me!" Aphrodite screeched like a banshee.…Night had fallen over the city. After dinner, Queenie went into her room for yoga. She changed into her yoga attire and started training while her parents worked on the invitations.The shadow of night encroached deeper into the land. Eventually, a trio of silhouettes appeared on the roof.Queenie was engrossed in her yoga, oblivious to the appearance of the strangers. She was still wearing her earphones, listening to music.Houston said, "That's her, milord."Aphrodite stared daggers at Queenie. Queenie's perfect looks and curves only deepened Aphrodite'

    A quartet of Shadow Division members followed Keith. Houston gasped. "Wait, that's Supreme Tiger. Why is he here?"Aphrodite was staring at Keith venomously. "I see. Nox must've noticed something." She was a smart woman. The moment Keith showed up, she knew Nox must've realized something was off."You mean Lord Nox sent him here?" Houston was surprised."Yes. If there's anyone who can predict the future, it's him," Aphrodite muttered."What should we do, milord? Do we proceed with our mission?" asked Houston.Aphrodite looked at Keith. "She can live for a bit longer. If Keith is here, Nox won't be far behind.""I can handle Keith," blurted Michael. His voice was as icy as he was, but he was ready to battle."Forget it, Lonewolf. Fall back." Aphrodite knew Michael all too well. He was born to fight, and powerful rivals would only excite him.Aphrodite left, but Michael didn't do so. Instead, he shot a frigid look at Keith before he took his leave.When Keith arrived, he sensed

    Queenie didn't know Keith well, but he left a good impression on her. How he called her made her blush, however. "What brings you here?""My bro sent me. For your safety." Keith couldn't tell Queenie who Nox really was."Nono did?" Queenie was surprised."Yes, milady."Queenie felt warm inside. "He's being overprotective. Riverton is a safe place.""No such thing as too much safety. Besides, you two are getting married soon." Keith smiled."I see. Don't just stand there. Come in and have some tea," invited Queenie."It's alright, milady. We're fine just standing here," said Keith.Queenie couldn't force them to come inside if they didn't want to. She said, "Call me if you need anything.""Sure thing. Thanks, milady."Queenie went back inside. With Keith protecting Queenie, Nox could feel at ease.The next day, Queenie was going to pick out her gown, and Yvette needed to go with her. The moment they came out, Keith showed up. "Heading out, milady?"Queenie beamed. "Yep. Pick

    Keith didn't need a degree to know this man was an enemy. He kept going forward and stopped when he was about a few yards away from Michael. Then he stared at the enemy."Are you waiting for me?" Keith asked.Slowly, Michael opened his eyes. "Yes. They call you the Butcher. The Supreme Tiger. I'd like to see if the rumors are true." Michael unsheathed his saber. It was about five foot eight, and the air itself turned chilly and biting in the presence of the weapon.Keith looked at the saber and sneered. "Very well. A duel it is." He roared and charged at Michael like the wind.Michael swung his saber, and a lethal air current crashed forward like waves. Keith's fists clashed with the attack, and thunder boomed.At the same time, back at the bridal shop, a gust of wind charged forth. The team members noticed what was coming, and one shouted, "Look out!" He dodged out of the way and saw a pebble the size of his finger zooming through the air.The team members were solemn. "There!

    The murder in Aphrodite's eyes was intensifying. At the same time, a dagger slid down her sleeve.Bloodstalker. That was the name of Aphrodite's trusty dagger. It was a stone-cold killer. Once someone was stabbed, they would be drained of their blood in less than sixty seconds.'Kill her. Kill her!' Aphrodite slowly closed in on Queenie, but before she could strike, the doorbell rang, and the door swung open.An unkempt, grimy beggar came in. "Please, may I have some food?" The beggar looked no older than eight. He was barefoot, and holding a bowl, he started begging for some food. There was some money in his bowl.The staff members looked disgusted. "Get out, get out!" a portly retail assistant screeched. "You can't come in here. You'll ruin our business!"Scared, the young beggar shrank, but he said, "Please, I just need some food.""No food for you! Get out, or I'll make you!" The portly retail assistant raised her hand, and the beggar ran away."A moment," Queenie blurted.

    A car was speeding down the road. Running too fast after his theft, the beggar didn't notice the oncoming vehicle until it was too late.The young beggar stood petrified, but before the car could hit him, someone charged ahead and pulled him into their arms."Look out!" Queenie shouted."Queenie!""No!"Yvette and the retail assistant went limp with fear at the sight of Queenie risking her life. The car's tires screeched, but just when everyone thought the vehicle would crash into Queenie and the boy, it stopped in time, though only barely.The driver got out of his car and started cursing.Yvette quickly checked on Queenie, her voice cracking, "Queenie, are you alright?"The retail assistant rushed over to Queenie and asked if she was okay. Queenie was holding the boy. She didn't seem resentful. Instead, she consoled the crying boy."It's alright now.""Why'd you risk your life for someone like him, lady? He stole your money." The retail assistant was confused."Yeah, Queen

    "If the driver hadn't stopped in time, you could've been killed. Why would you risk your life for someone who stole your money?" Aphrodite asked.Queenie mused for a moment. "I know he did, but he had no choice. He's still young, and there's a future ahead of him. If he has no one to guide him, he might take the wrong path. If one little deed on my part can change his life, why not?"She continued, "He's just a boy. You'd do the same." She looked at Aphrodite.Aphrodite's heart skipped a beat. 'Will I really do the same?' she thought. 'Of course not. I'm the lady of the Mousse family and the new lord of Faeast. I can't risk my life for a mere beggar.'She slowly raised her head and looked at Queenie. A weird smile curled her lips. "I can see why he likes you.""Sorry?" Queenie had no idea what Aphrodite was saying.Aphrodite didn't explain, though she smiled bitterly. She waved at Queenie. "It's your lucky day. You can live, but your luck will run out."She left, and Queenie sti

    "You're going nowhere! Die!" The Sovereigns chased after the spirit, and a hundred rulers followed. They trapped the Titan's spirit and ripped him to shreds."Holy shit! That's the ancient Faeastian Sovereigns for you!" White Tiger roared with pride. He was on the roof of a tower somewhere.Emperor Elijah narrowed his eyes and exchanged a look with the other Sovereigns. He hurled the remaining essence of the Titan's spirit to White Tiger and stuffed him with it. The energy filled White Tiger up, and he ballooned. Black, rancid energy came out of his body, and he fell into madness.Nox cast Heaven's Demise and sealed White Tiger's consciousness. The Ice Temple Lord, realizing what the Sovereigns were trying to do, encased White Tiger in a coffin of magic ice."This is an impressive underling you have, Nine-State Lord. Devouring spirits gives him power. Anyone else would've lost their minds and become a killing machine, but White Tiger's already mad to begin with. There's no further

    "The third kind of Emperor uses natural energy, the power of Yin and Yang, and the elements to become one. Since they use all kinds of elements and energy to become an Emperor, they are practically invincible."The Ice Temple Lord was excited. "So, you're saying I'm the strongest kind of Emperor?"Nox was speechless. "No, what I was trying to say was you took the wrong path. You could've absorbed the energy in the heavens, but you absorbed the Yin energy in the ground. You're stronger than Frostmir, but his level was higher, so you'd still be no match for him." Nox pursed his lips."Eh?" The Ice Temple Lord was disappointed. He thought he could be on par with Nox once he became an Emperor. The Ice Temple Lord wasn't the only one who gained power. The Ice Temple cultivators did as well. Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird gained a lot of power, too.Vermilion Bird was now a Flawless Supreme, Black Tortoise was an Advanced Supreme, while White Tiger was an Intermediate Pi

    The fact that Nox could cast Sovereign Seal showed the Ice Temple Lord a new level of power. The Sovereign was more terrifying than the gods. 'No wonder they could rule the world in ancient times.'The ancient Sovereigns and rulers of Faeast attacked their enemies. The fate of Faeast gathered over their heads, piercing the clouds that hung over them. The weaker monsters were all slain, and Emperor Hans pierced the pharaoh with his spear, returning him to dust.Emperor Blade killed the god of another ancient civilization. The evil energy possessing them was purified. Moments later, the only gods left were the Titans. Unlike the possessed gods, the Titans were ancient cultivators.Even if they didn't master any spells or techniques, they'd trained their bodies to their absolute best. The Sovereigns and rulers didn't have much advantage against these enemies.These spirits were only summoned through the relics and the remnants of energy left within. Their bodies were gone, and their s

    The talismans were Magic Mountain's Forbidden Art, and Nox had fused them with Ultimate Sun Dragon Manual. Nox's mentors back in Mystia had taught him the Sovereign Seal earlier than expected.Their goal was simple. If Nox became the Sovereign, he could use the seal to command all the natural energy around him. If he didn't become the Sovereign, he would teach the Sovereign how to use the seal.The Sovereign Seal was a Saintly technique and the most ancient technique around. It was stronger than a Celestial technique.A golden seal brighter than the sun slowly rose into the air. It was the Sovereign Seal.As it appeared, natural energy gathered around it. The energy flew into the relics Brundela took from Faeast. Within a museum not open to the public, a bronze sword started to tremble as natural energy flowed into it. That got the attention of a professor."That sword belonged to Faeast's Emperor Elijah! What is going on?"A silhouette came out of the sword, and his aura was maj

    Back in the navy command center, Fergus got the drone footage of Brundela's latest development. There were a few generals from the Nox Army with him. They could see that the monsters in the capital were far stronger than the ones they took out."It's a pity the capital is too densely populated. We have the weapons, but we can't use them." Fergus slammed the table in frustration. Even if the capital were to fall into enemy hands and the people torn apart by the monsters, Fergus could not order his men to fire at the capital, or things would be bad for them.Fergus could only open fire if the monsters were in a no man's land."Commander Parrish, the lord has orders. We are to keep the waters guarded. Once the capital's crisis is over, we are to make our way to the port and give humanitarian aid," a Nox Army general said telepathically. He just got Nox's orders."Is that so? Then Nox can stop this crisis." Fergus' eyes shone. He had no idea what Nox was planning, but he was the Sovere

When the Titans showed themselves, despair washed over Brundela.There were too many monsters running around. Even after the Twilight Order and Ice Temple cultivators sent out everyone they had, it still wasn't enough to stop these creatures. The monsters went straight to the council hall, and so did the Titans.The Ice Temple Lord created a Magic Ice Formation and kept using Forbidden Arts and mystical artifacts to fend off the enemies. He had already done his best."You have to do something, Nine-State Lord. I can't hold on much longer!" the Ice Temple Lord said telepathically.Though monsters were about, they were not a threat to the Ice Temple Lord. he could leave anytime he wanted, but he had a deal with Nox. If he were to desert the battlefield, he would face a hell far worse than he could imagine late

    Their targets were the relics around the altars. The moment the whirlpool showed up, the black energy conjured black walls and kept Brundela on lockdown, cutting off all communications.Possessed by evil spirits, gods from ancient civilizations came back to life. In the underground graveyard, the dead came bursting out of their coffins, and skeletons with phantom flames flickering around them charged at the holy knights and James' secret agents.Nothing more needed to be said. The holy knights' leader led the charge. The other knights resolved to fight to the death as they battled the skeleton gods.James and his secret agents fired off at the enemies, but the bullets did nothing to the skeletons. All they managed was to light a big spark. Only grenades and howitzers could deal damage to them, and even then, the damage was light.The battle was fierce. Though the knights did not fear death, they were still weaker than the prehistoric gods. These skeletons were nigh invincible, and

    Nox was hovering higher than the Ice Temple Lord, and he got everyone's attention."Who's that?""It's a Faeastian!""My God, it's the Nine-State Lord!" Nox was known throughout Faeast and the world. Brundela's council members had recognized him the moment he showed up. They had nothing but fear for gods, yet Nox was the strongest man in the Mortal World, so they respected him.The clouds in Brundela's skies were hanging heavily over the ground, and the icy aura they radiated was making everyone shiver. Winter seemed to have come early for Brundela. The temperature was dipping fast.Back in the control center, intelligence agents were watching the surveillance footage closely, and they noticed the altar. The Twilight Order and Ice Temple cultivators were there, strengthening the altars' seal the best they could. There were soldiers guarding the altar as well.For some reason, the secret agents had a feeling something bad was going to happen. Murphy's Law, as they said.Suddenly,

    A sliver of energy flew out of the puppet and gathered natural energy around it. Then, the temperature rose at a blistering rate. Fortunately, Bard's reminder came just in time, and Vermilion Bird was prepared for this. She led her team away from the spot.A pillar of fire engulfed the building, and heat waves shot off in every direction, lethal and deadly. The light eventually faded, and all buildings in a few hundred yards were razed to the ground.If Vermilion Bird had killed the puppet without thinking just now, she would have lost all her men and suffered serious injuries. "That bitch! I'm going to make her into a human swine one day! I'll give her hell!" she cursed.Bard gasped. 'Yeah, women can be really terrifying.' Not one General was a normal person.This incident didn't escape Nox, of course. He saw it through his divine sense. "Heh, you can't fight the flow of history?
