The wine splashed everywhere, and the shattered jar fragments flew, ruining all the food on the table.Xanthakos raised his head suddenly. “James…”James patted the jar of Chaos Absinthe in his hand and interrupted. “This is what I call good wine!”Seeing James pouring the wine into his mouth, taking big gulps, Xanthakos smiled strangely. He knew that though James seemed calm, his heart was boiling with anger. He simply could not act because of his disadvantageous circumstances.Xanthakos felt great pleasure seeing the Greater Realms’ strongest man suffer a setback. After coughing twice, he said, “You ruined the dishes, James. How about…”James said smilingly, “Don’t worry. I’ll treat you to Chaos Absinthe and a fish feast later. I’ll make sure you won’t be able to refuse it.”His tone was laced with clear hostility.Xanthakos laughed, “You’re really humorous, James. I hope you’re not waiting for reinforcements to arrive and fight me.”James put down his wine jar, stared at Xan
James raised his eyebrows. “What kind of bet?”Xanthakos smiled coldly. “Let’s bet on the group of friends you trust. It’ll be my defeat if they manage to hold off the Caeloros God of Firmament, Quintinus, and come to reinforce you. You’ll lose if Quintinus captures them and brings them back as hostages.”Looking at Xanthakos’ confident look, James smiled and nodded. “What’s on the line?”Xanthakos smiled. “It’s very simple. The winner gets what he wants. I’ll hand this traitor back to you and allow you to do as you please with her. You could even play with her all you want.”Pointing at Yiulia, he laughed. “Don’t worry. I haven’t used her yet. I wanted to give her to Quintinus, so she’s still in good condition!”James shook his head. “That won’t be enough. I want Light Thea as well.”Xanthakos laughed. “You’re a faithful man, I give you that. Alright, I’ll give them back to you if I lose. However, if I win…”He stared at James maliciously, not rushing to finish his sentence.J
Before Amos could speak, Xanthakos pounced on Quintinus and grabbed him.“What are you talking about? Why are you going back to the Xanadu Realm? Did you catch Taiyi and the others?”Quintinus glared at him coldly and shoved him away again.“Have we been too generous with you, Xanthakos? Who are you to intervene in our affairs?”Xanthakos’ brows furrowed, taken aback by the situation.Amos suddenly appeared in front of Quintinus and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Didn’t we already plan everything out? Everything is going smoothly, so why do you want to return to the Xanadu Realm? Do you not want Frona and the Caeloros Supreme Scepter anymore?”With a horrified expression, Quintinus responded, “I can’t be bothered about that now! We’ve run into a disaster! We might not be able to return and will be devoured if we drag this out any longer!”Amos’ eyes widened in shock. “What do you mean? Be more specific!”“He’s here! He’s back! I saw him with my own eyes!” Quintinus trembled as
Xanthakos was momentarily stunned. The next moment, he rushed at James with a crazed expression. “What kind of sorcery or tricks did you use to scare them away? It’s impossible for you to have such capabilities. Not even Frona would be able to cause them to panic like that.”Faced with his outburst, James laughed mockingly.Xanthakos roared, “It can’t be true. How could two Caeloros Gods of Nothingness be scared away by a kid from the Haleth Realm? Even if the Waitara Path had returned, they would not have acted so dramatically.“As Caeloros Gods of Nothingness, they’re fearless. Those two must have been illusions.”He took two steps backward and pointed at James.“That Quintinus just now must have been fake. You did it to trick Amos and lure him away. Do you think I’m afraid of you, James? Do you think I can’t kill you without their help?“I’ve already mastered the Triple Nothingness Martial Technique and am invincible in the Haleth Realm. Even if you have integrated the Three T
James interrupted Morgott with a smile. “How could I not think of you as a friend? I wanted you to guard the entrance, but you didn’t do your job well. I’m really disappointed.”Morgott stared at James and said, “Are you saying you left me outside to hold off the Waitara Path’s soul spirit?”James said disappointedly, “It’s a pity that you didn’t do what I needed you to. Instead, you just followed the others around. However, it’s on me for overestimating you. I should’ve known you wouldn’t have been able to understand.”Morgott felt like a thunderbolt had struck him.Harper suddenly said, “I was wondering why you didn’t bring Morgott with us. So you had other intentions?”Yianni shook his head. “It’s unfortunate he didn’t get it and allowed the Waitara Path’s soul spirit to enter the Wuia Palace. It’s going to be much more chaotic in here.”Marius looked at Morgott and said, “You caused trouble again, Morgott! You disrupted master’s plan!”Morgott, who had been silently listenin
Amidst the quakes, James’ comrades instantly leaped into the air, surrounding Xanthakos and activating their strongest defensive skills.Xanthakos laughed. “Haha! Do you ants think you can stand against me? You’re overestimating your abilities.”He flipped his hand, and a black-and-white gas spread out, gradually manifesting seven koi fish. They swam through the air, aiming for Morgott, Taiyi, Yasmina, Quintus, Marius, Harper, and Yianni.When they were just inches away from their targets, they transformed into phantom figures and unleashed various attacks.Bang! Bang! Bang!Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!James’ comrades were faced with an onslaught of Sword Lights.Marius, Harper, and Yianni, who were weaker, had their Divine Light Shields shattered after the first wave of attacks. They were engulfed by the Nothingness Dead Energy and engaged in fierce battles within it.Even Taiyi and Yasmina could only protect themselves with their Divine Light Shields and defend themselves while r
Upon seeing that, James couldn’t help but laugh.Morgott was Nihilos. He could devour everything, let alone the Nothingness Dead Energy, so James wasn’t surprised.However, Quintus managing to swallow the Nothingness Dead Energy did surprise James.“Quintus!” Xanthakos roared when he returned to his senses. “You’re a traitor. How could you…”“Although it can’t be compared to the Nothingness Aura of a Caeloros God, your Nothingness Dead Energy isn’t bad.” Quintus wiped his mouth. “But why does it have a fishy smell? I almost vomited when swallowing it.”“I tasted it too.” Morgott spat a few times. “It’s disgusting. I’m mysophobic. This is simply an insult. Compensate me.”Hearing their words, Xanthakos was enraged.“How dare you…”Before he could finish, he saw a ray of black-white-amethyst-gold light flash by, sweeping away Marius, Yianni, and Harper.Then, James’ voice sounded.“Alright, Xanthakos. Don’t use such aggressive methods to avoid the bet. We both have statuses. We
“Xanthakos, the Divine Retribution is coming!”Suddenly, James’ chuckles echoed through the trembling void.Xanthakos looked up in horror and clenched his fists.“James, drop the act. I have the Triple Nothingness Martial Technique. No matter how much you try, you can’t do anything to me…”Before he could finish, a huge Xwem Chessboard appeared beneath him, expanding rapidly.At the same time, a scroll filled with various runes wrapped around the expanding Xwem Chessboard at a terrifying speed.“This is…”Xanthakos was stunned. Then, he saw the Xwem Chessboard beneath him suddenly burst out with Xaria Light, soaring into the sky and forming one black-white-amethyst-gold Energy Wall after another.Suddenly, rumbling noises sounded above Xanthakos. Countless black-and-white lightning bolts struck, quickly devouring him.Xanthakos screamed as a terrifying Nothingness Dead Energy erupted from his body, shattering the countless lightning bolts wrapped around him.As he was about t
