As if he had sensed the subtle change in the players' formation, the Scorpion king stopped his attack and looked at Zyrus in amusement.

“Yeah, there’s no way you wouldn’t notice,” Zyrus clicked his tongue and placed his trusted spear back into the inventory.

Shi kun and Pouka also arrived at that time. They stood in front of Zyrus while glaring at the opposite side. Neither Zyrus nor the scorpion king moved, as if whatever was happening on the battlefield didn’t matter to them.

They knew that there was only one existence that was able to harm them, and it was the opponent that stood in front of them.

[In the name of thy king, Heed my call]

A deep voice resounded across the colosseum as the Scorpion King raised his sword to the sky. A jet-black aura manifested around him, almost forcing all players to kneel down on the bloody ground.

The terracotta warriors didn’t miss this opportunity and launched a barrage of attacks. However, this was the least of the players' worries.

“Don’t tell me...”

“Motherfu-”

[COME FORTH AT ONCE]

CRAAACKLE

The entire colosseum trembled under the weight of the king’s authority. The broken and shattered pieces of terracotta warriors became whole once again.

That wasn’t the end.

The players who had died rose again as terracotta warriors. Their remaining flesh calcified whereas the broken parts were fixed with pitch-black energy. This harrowing transformation struck deep fear into the player’s psyche.

“What do we do-” Shi kun was forced to cut his words short as he looked behind him.

More than one emperor was fighting in this battle. Zyrus was studying laws and concepts without sparing a moment. How could it be possible that he, as an archmage, didn’t have a few cards up his sleeve?

He stood on the same position with his arms spread wide. Dark blue sparks flashed out from his palms while clangs of metal resounded across the colosseum.

Zyrus knew that he wouldn’t be able to win this war with the skills he had. From the subtle hints Aurora had given during their conversation and from his enemy’s skills, he had long since figured out the hidden meaning behind her words.

Aurora had said that the Eternals were busy, and that was enough for him.

At this moment, he no longer had to hide his powers on the sanctuary. The concepts he had comprehended bloomed in reality. Even with the pitiful mana he possessed, he was still the void monarch who had once conquered the sanctuary.

‘So, I’ll show them.’

[SHACKLES OF NIHILITY]

‘I’ll show them the power that made the immortals tremble in fear.’

Time ceased to a halt in Zyrus’s perception. For the second time, he was pulled back to his source of existence. The records of his life played out on the crystalline path.

…

A long... long time ago, a time when he had yet to set foot in the sanctuary, Zyrus Wymar was an ordinary kid. Just like others his age, he too was fascinated by the brilliant sky that lay beyond the confines of the Arc of Noah.

It was an age when knowledge thrived. Humans focused all of their efforts on understanding the workings of space. One of the topics that caught the kid’s eye was the concept of Void. The words spoken by his favorite teacher were engraved deep into the child’s memories.
