Everyone was appalled. The event before them, especially to Freya's subordinates, were too shocking to fathom even given the minute or so they had to watch. It was like a surreal experience happening in this world, unable to be real, but it was!
Yan Zaizen had waved his hand, and a grand Heavenly Monarch choked furiously like a mortal, gladdened by the fact she could breathe like one too.
Truly appalling.
However, despite what was expected, in these people, no fear or horror flickered in the eyes of everyone, only coldness and hatred sparked within. This was true for every subordinate here.
This was because, despite making a newly ascended Heavenly Monarch lay helplessly on the floor, he had disrespected their respective leaders. He was, after all, only a Heavenly Genesis Realm junior.
His tone, stance, words, and overall attitude made it seem like their leaders were air in the atmosphere - unimportant and ordinary.
Yan Zaizen inwardly shook his head, not bothering about these people. He misjudged the loyalty and stupidity those people had towards their leaders. It was unyielding and blinding. Anyone who could reach their level and amass status and a force, command them entirely, had to have high charisma.
Having never been much of a leader in his life, he couldn't understand much. A Sovereign was above all and below none. They had a natural charisma that drew others. The boundless warmth, breadth of mind, indomitable will, unyielding nature, powerfully fierce nature could only do that.
The Ruin Emperor observed the direction this situation was developing and couldn't help but inwardly sigh. He decided to speak, ”The mission is about to begin. We'll be relying on you to SAVE anyone needing it.” He placed heavy emphasis on 'save' as Yan Zaizen possessed the Law of Rebirth and the battle here is bound to be...violent.
”En, ” nodding, Yan Zaizen didn't even look towards the Heavenly Monarchs or their subordinates. Instead, he walked to the bow of the ship and looked at the large shadow in the distance. His gaze was calm and intrigued.
His actions provoked even further outrage by these subordinates. There were many who were even preparing their heavenly might. If Yan Zaizen were a Heavenly Monarch, a heaven-equalling existence, they wouldn't have any objections. However, he had a young aura and an inferior cultivation base.
Yri looked at them and felt that there was something wrong with their heads based on their eyes, which were cold and ready for battle.
”Idiots!” She coldly spat. Their idiocy truly was infuriating.
The Ruin Emperor couldn't help but helplessly frown. The truth was that Yan Zaizen had the qualifications to be arrogant, but not before the people here. He looked towards the young girl who seemed to be pondering something after dealing with Freya's situation.
It would all depend on her words. If she deemed Yan Zaizen a nuisance, even if he was stronger than he was, it's unlikely he would escape her grasp.
However, the young girl smiled slightly and turned to Yan Zaizen. Her cold and archaic voice sounded drawing everyone's attention.
”The combination of four World Laws and a Mortal Law...I must say your skills are worthy of praise.” Her words were things no one could refute or want to. Yan Zaizen's powerful actions was an exceptionally skillful display of understanding in laws and their expressions.
”However,” everyone's hearts clenched, ”your actions and behavior are unbefitting before me.” A pride that buried deep in her bones surged out as her eyes flashed a violet color.
Yan Zaizen didn't turn around or respond.
'So...troublesome.'
He really didn't like others trying to lower his position. How come those with power seemed to all be insufferably arrogant? Only when they were shown a stronger force did they back down. Yan Zaizen recalled his experiences in the Xiantu Realm.
He sighed softly.
'Fine. I can use this as leverage to get out of the deal altogether.' An opportunity had presented itself for him. He didn't feel or desire to fight the All-Immortal Dragon, and after what Yri had said, he didn't have much confidence that these people would get a single drop of blood.
While he did know that agreeing was a risk that may benefit him, that feeling had disappeared. This meant that the risk was already before him and the opportunity to benefit as well. However, he still didn't know how or see the big picture. He did suspect that the conflict with these people was the 'risk' and the 'benefit' was only determined with how he handled it.
However, how could the Non-Verse not know his personality and Dao? He was a Sovereign! An existence above all and below none. If there was one above him, he'll ascend to reach heights where they could only look up to him!
If it wanted him to act cautiously and not like himself in this situation, it would never give him this hint. It would've been more direct. Therefore, he smiled.
”Ruin Emperor, the remaining time. Choose.” Still not turning around, he domineering spoke.
